Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle day fie AM six
Speaker 1: forty Bill Handle here on a foody Friday, April eleventh.
Speaker 1: Now quick word. Well, first of all, let me say hello,
Speaker 1: good morning, Ann, good morning. We're happy campers here Friday. Amy,
Speaker 1: good morning, Hi, Bill, Hey, come on, oh good morning,
Speaker 1: good morning. And Will I saw running around someplace? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: he n me good morning. He came in looking for Neil,
Speaker 1: who is not here. I like to scare it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: No, you get scared every time Neil enters a room.
Speaker 2: You were just trying for paybacks.
Speaker 1: Yep. So Neil is filling in today for Cobalt, and
Speaker 1: I's still going to join us for Foody Friday from
Speaker 1: his house and ask handle anything. So he'll be doing
Speaker 1: at at eight o'clock from his home studio and Phil Phil,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do Foody Friday on Cobilt and
Speaker 1: always going to talk about our cheeseburgers, because that's all
Speaker 1: Cobilt will eat. He's hot dogs and hamburgers. That's Cobalt.
Speaker 1: And you know why he's that way. I want to
Speaker 1: hurt him talk about this, whether he did in person
Speaker 1: in the hall or whether he said it on the air.
Speaker 1: And I have no idea he his parents are immigrants
Speaker 1: from Poland Colbilt. You know that or you may not
Speaker 1: have known that. And they speak with a pretty serious
Speaker 1: or pretty heavy post accent. And he grew up on
Speaker 1: Polish food, Polish sausage and all all the Polish food.
Speaker 1: So let me tell you what happens and you'll understand this.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to analogize this to people who grow
Speaker 1: up in very religious homes, super religious homes. One of
Speaker 1: two things happen. They either buy into it or they
Speaker 1: go the other way. And I think Cobel went the
Speaker 1: other way. I think if you show him a Polish sausage,
Speaker 1: it's like showing a vampire across did it away from me?
Speaker 1: By the way. I have no idea if he shared
Speaker 1: that with you or not, and if I'd broken every confidence. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. All Right, what's new? Let me
Speaker 1: see we've got we have some news about tariffs of course,
Speaker 1: helicopter crashes going like crazy all over the country, a
Speaker 1: horrible story out of New York. And Justin Worsham. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember Justin. Justin was the RCONO
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and Justin left the show and
Speaker 1: he went into real estate and he's very successful. And
Speaker 1: over the weekend, I think it's Sunday, he's starting a
Speaker 1: new show and he's going to come aboard at seven
Speaker 1: fifty to introduce a show and talk about real estate,
Speaker 1: which is big, big news. And I'm going to do
Speaker 1: a story later on about that too. Okay, let's do it, guys,
Speaker 1: it's time for handle on the news with a Oh,
Speaker 1: there's a live car another live car chase. Get Kanway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get Conway in here. I mean he's the one
Speaker 1: that does all these chases for hours and hours and hours.
Speaker 2: He doesn't live too far away. He could come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he's right around the corner and he lives
Speaker 1: here in Burbank two minutes away. Yeah, is this a
Speaker 1: four or five? Four or five where Inglewood? Inglewood? Okay,
Speaker 1: heading north north, Yeah, it's from It's apparently a stolen
Speaker 1: car out of Huntington Beach. The Huntington Beach police are
Speaker 1: actually in pursuit in Inglewood. Hey, what do these people
Speaker 1: think when they're being chased by the cops? What what
Speaker 1: is going through their mind? I'm getting away? Yeah, is
Speaker 1: that it? Maybe they just panic? Now let me tell
Speaker 1: you why I'm not chief of police. Sorry, just one reason.
Speaker 1: There's so many reasons. I would have a helicopter gunship
Speaker 1: over that car, and I had have a loudspeaker say
Speaker 1: you stop right now, or you're not going to be
Speaker 1: what you're not. There's not gonna be much of you,
Speaker 1: or that car left, and do it once or twice.
Speaker 1: It's like dealing with Teyron. Hey, uh, you're not going
Speaker 1: to have the atomic bomb. Well, yes, we're going to.
Speaker 1: And the second they have it, you know what is
Speaker 1: or what it's going to do. Issue a warning and
Speaker 1: telling everybody in Tehran at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, you'd
Speaker 1: better have sunglasses on because it's going to be a
Speaker 1: really interesting afternoon for you. Okay, And well we're not
Speaker 1: going to follow that. It's just going on and on
Speaker 1: and slow speed chases. And they don't even do high
Speaker 1: speed chases. You know, what you what you should do
Speaker 1: if you're one of these drivers, is old on, let
Speaker 1: me cough. Okay, I at least turn on the button,
Speaker 1: the cough button. Now these days, uh do you? Uh? Oh?
Speaker 1: Slowing down? Oh, he's making it following the speed limit. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. It looks like you went
Speaker 1: over a spike strip, so there may be no tires. Pretty,
Speaker 1: But if he goes it a hun than twenty five
Speaker 1: miles an hour, Oh, he's stopping for gas gas?
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, range when they pull into the gas station, yep.
Speaker 1: So outcome the police with all their weaponry, and he
Speaker 1: comes crawling out. He's on all fours and now he
Speaker 1: is laying on the ground. He's playing dead. He's been trained.
Speaker 2: He looks like a dog. When a dog kind of collapses,
Speaker 2: it does submissive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, my dog. My dog does that, and
Speaker 1: then rolls over and wants a belly rub. No, he's
Speaker 1: not getting one. Okay, so much for that.
Speaker 2: No belly reps for you.
Speaker 1: Now if he now, if he's going one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five miles an hour, they don't chase him anymore.
Speaker 1: It's too dangerous. They let him go, but they'll eventually
Speaker 1: catch him. They have a license plate, all of it stolen.
Speaker 1: What good does that do? Anyway? There is cops are
Speaker 1: talking to him. Hey, this worked out for you, didn't it?
Speaker 1: All right? Guys? Uh, let's do it. Let's do one
Speaker 1: quick story before we take our break. Hey, not my
Speaker 1: fault by speed Chase News with Amy O'Neil and me
Speaker 1: late story. I can do anything better than you. No
Speaker 1: you care? Yes I can? No, you care? Yes I can?
Speaker 2: No you can?
Speaker 1: Yes I can, Yes I can. How do you say that?
Speaker 1: In Chinese? Okay? Donald Trump goes to one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five Oh, actually, now one hundred and forty five
Speaker 1: percent levy UH tariff against China. China goes to one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five percent and says, we're not going
Speaker 1: to go anymore. We're done. You can go whatever you want,
Speaker 1: but at one hundred and twenty five percent, anything you
Speaker 1: have to sell into China is financially unfeasible. So it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. One hundred and twenty five, two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five. It's all the same. So China said, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll leave it alone and we'll see what happens. Now
Speaker 1: with the stock market, yesterday dropped a thousand points after
Speaker 1: the previous day went up three thousand points after the
Speaker 1: tariffs were put on pause for ninety days. Stock market
Speaker 1: opens in fifteen minutes. Amy, what are the futures right now?
Speaker 2: The futures are up the now up like not a ton,
Speaker 2: just barely, but all of them are in positive territory
Speaker 2: for the futures, but just slightly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the volatility is crazy, as I just said yesterday,
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about it more. Man, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: whether or not it makes sense what Trump is doing.
Speaker 1: And by the way, long term, it may very well
Speaker 1: whether the businesses in fact do open up factories in
Speaker 1: the United States. Who the hell knows, because you have
Speaker 1: the next administration can drop all the tariffs, and it
Speaker 1: could be that it's so expensive to build here in
Speaker 1: the US that the manufacturers and the retailers and car
Speaker 1: buyers for example, are going to say, you know, open
Speaker 1: this thing up so we don't have to spend eighty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for a car they'd herefore was sixty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and so long term it may work, but man's
Speaker 1: short term is going to kill us. It's going to
Speaker 1: kill us. Sorry.
Speaker 2: Helicopter down in the Hudson a sightseeing helicopter fell from
Speaker 2: the sky into the Hudson River yesterday. There were six
Speaker 2: people on board the pilot and then five passengers. Three
Speaker 2: of them were children, and it was the family of
Speaker 2: an executive from Stemens, which is a German multinational tech conglomerate.
Speaker 2: They took off, they circled the Statue of Liberty, they
Speaker 2: went around the Hudson toward the George Washington Bridge, and
Speaker 2: then about sixteen minutes after taking off, the aircraft just
Speaker 2: crashed into the river. And people who saw it said
Speaker 2: it looked like the back rotor wasn't intact or something
Speaker 2: something catastrophic happened that caused it to just fall from
Speaker 2: the sky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't think it's pilot error. And this is
Speaker 1: a helicopter crash is like crazy, like crazy. So that's
Speaker 1: a shame. Family of five people sight seeing, which.
Speaker 2: They do all the time, and you think about it,
Speaker 2: how I fee those go off every day?
Speaker 1: No? I was what in Hawaii once and I took
Speaker 1: one of those tourist helicopters and went around. It was great.
Speaker 1: A week later that helicopter goes down, crashes, and then
Speaker 1: I think a month later that same company had another
Speaker 1: helicopter go down, and they had to change the name
Speaker 1: of the company because it had gotten such a reputation.
Speaker 1: So now it's you Fly US, you Will Die company. Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Searching for the cause of the autism epidemic, the US
Speaker 2: Department of Health and Human Services has launched what it
Speaker 2: calls a massive testing and research effort involving hundreds of
Speaker 2: scientists around the world that will determine what has caused
Speaker 2: the autism epidemic. Experts are expressing doubt that this is
Speaker 2: going to be done in good faith, though, because of
Speaker 2: Senator Erstnout Senator Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior's history of
Speaker 2: linking autism and vaccines despite strong evidence that the two
Speaker 2: are not connected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, he'll find some crackpot scientists, much
Speaker 1: like the basis of vaccines cause autism was based on
Speaker 1: one crack pot paper that was written by one out
Speaker 1: of his mind, a quote scientist who later recanted by
Speaker 1: the way, it was totally debunked, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It goes out the conspiracy theorists go up. Now he
Speaker 1: did walk back the measles vaccine. He just said that
Speaker 1: the best protection against measles is the MMR vaccine. But
Speaker 1: he has never gotten away from vaccines cause autism. And
Speaker 1: he'll find some scientists that will come up and say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a connection, even though the vast majority of modern
Speaker 1: medicine and legitimate doctors will say no. And his quote was,
Speaker 1: or his premise is the number of people that kids
Speaker 1: have VACX who have autism has exploded. It used to
Speaker 1: be what in two thousand, the rate was one in
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen. Now it's one in thirty six.
Speaker 1: But reasons are awareness, diagnosis earlier, earlier, it's detection. But no,
Speaker 1: it's he'll find that it's autism. You wait, You'll wait.
Speaker 1: It is definitely the vaccines.
Speaker 2: Got to bring him back. The Supreme Court has instructed
Speaker 2: the government to take steps to return that guy from
Speaker 2: El Salvador who was wrongly deported to a prison in
Speaker 2: El Salvador. Remember they did an ice rate. He got
Speaker 2: swept up in it and was sent to the prison
Speaker 2: in Al Salvador. The White House even said, yeah, we
Speaker 2: made a mistake, but they said there's nothing we can
Speaker 2: do to bring him back. Well, the Supreme Court stop
Speaker 2: short of ordering the return of the guy Kilmar Armando
Speaker 2: Abrego Garcia, but they did say that part of the
Speaker 2: trial judge's order is intact and that requires the government
Speaker 2: to facilitate and effectuate his return.
Speaker 1: What's the difference between your order to do it and
Speaker 1: you must facilitate and effectuate.
Speaker 2: They don't have to do it today.
Speaker 1: Ah, so they didn't do it tomorrow. Now you think
Speaker 1: that the Trump administration after having admitted, yeah, we blew it.
Speaker 1: We move the wrong guy down, let's see what we
Speaker 1: can do to unravel that. No. No, they go to
Speaker 1: court saying we have the right to wrongly transport or
Speaker 1: deport people and the government and the courts have no
Speaker 1: ability to say no to that. They actually take that
Speaker 1: to Supreme Court. Why not just say okay, we're going
Speaker 1: to make any moves and the government won't let us
Speaker 1: have it. You're done El Salvadorian government. So I don't
Speaker 1: get it, man, I just don't get Nothing gets in
Speaker 1: the way of the power of the administration. I will
Speaker 1: tell you you have an administrator, high level administrator. Get
Speaker 1: a ticket in Washington, d C. They're going to take
Speaker 1: it to the Supreme Court. The police don't have the
Speaker 1: ability to write a ticket a parking ticket for someone
Speaker 1: who is appointed by this administration.
Speaker 2: Fair may not be playing fair. In Alta, Dina and
Speaker 2: Pacific Palisades, some homeowners say they have not been able
Speaker 2: to clean up their properties. Saul Kerpelman lives in the
Speaker 2: Pacific Palisades. He says his home survived the fire, but
Speaker 2: it's heavily damaged, and he said they can't move back
Speaker 2: in because California Fair Plan is just giving them the
Speaker 2: run around. The fair Plan stance is, according to Kerpleman,
Speaker 2: that our house is dirty and that's not fire damage.
Speaker 1: Nope, it certainly isn't. Now, if you're caught up in
Speaker 1: a wildfire and your house survives, your house really didn't survive.
Speaker 1: The smoke damage is so enormous. The dry wall sucks
Speaker 1: up the smoke like a sponge. It makes it unlivable.
Speaker 1: You have to go down to the studs and replace
Speaker 1: every bit of every bit of the the plyboard, no,
Speaker 1: not the plyboard, dryboard, drywall and so these houses are
Speaker 1: unlivable and the Fair Plan only pays for fire insurance,
Speaker 1: doesn't pay for anything else, as you know, and it
Speaker 1: costs a fortune.
Speaker 2: So are they right? The Fair Plan is right? It's
Speaker 2: not caused by fires, but the damage was.
Speaker 1: Caused no under the Fair Plan when they talk about
Speaker 1: fire damage, physical damage, and.
Speaker 2: Well isn't a physical damage though?
Speaker 1: If the home is uninhabitable, well, you it depends on
Speaker 1: what the judge is going to say, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Yes, it is. That's going to be a fun one
Speaker 2: to watch, very interesting. Oh yeah, Okay. Reasons the Fires
Speaker 2: Are was snuffed out Steve sober Off, remember he was
Speaker 2: named The Fires Are Back in mid January, a couple
Speaker 2: weeks after the fire. He says that he got shut
Speaker 2: out of high level planning almost from the start and
Speaker 2: raised some questions about why Mayor Bass chose him and
Speaker 2: whether rebuilding from the Palisades is on track. We found
Speaker 2: out last week that he was going to be stepping down.
Speaker 2: Well now he's talking about it, and he says he
Speaker 2: was originally tesked with creating a comprehensive strategy for rebuilding,
Speaker 2: but he says, in his words, they haven't asked me
Speaker 2: to do anything in a month and a half. Nothing.
Speaker 1: Zero. Yeah, they're not denying that. By the way, all
Speaker 1: Bass's position is, her spokesperson is the mayor believes in
Speaker 1: rebuilding as quickly as possible, and that's what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Faster than anybody in the history of the world, of
Speaker 1: the universe, intergalactically. She's moving so quickly. How is she
Speaker 1: going to win the next race? I have absolutely no idea.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's still me. There's no Neil. Where are your papers?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: A federal judge has allowed the Trump administration to move
Speaker 2: forward with the requirement that everyone in the US illegally
Speaker 2: must register with the federal government and carry documentation. The
Speaker 2: requirement goes into effect today. The judge, who was appointed
Speaker 2: by Trump, sided with the administration, which had argued that
Speaker 2: officials are simply enforcing a requirement that already exists for
Speaker 2: everyone who's in the country but isn't an American citizen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the law. They're just enforcing it. They're going, well,
Speaker 1: I had no surprise. This is anti illegal immigration.
Speaker 2: So if you get pulled over, like they could say,
Speaker 2: where are your papers?
Speaker 1: It looks no, I don't think they If you get
Speaker 1: pulled over because there asks to be you still talk
Speaker 1: about local law enforcement forcing federal law. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But if you are in violation and they know about it,
Speaker 1: they can ice can go and knock on doors as
Speaker 1: they have as they've walked into elementary schools. The two
Speaker 1: stories of which, again we're not denied by the administration. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the judge just said the government can do that.
Speaker 2: By the way, that's explaining to do on Social Security.
Speaker 2: So the Social Security Administration is walking back plans to
Speaker 2: reduce over the phone services. They're explaining to recipients who's
Speaker 2: actually going to have to come into a Social Security
Speaker 2: office because they were saying, Hey, we want to cut
Speaker 2: down on frauds, so more people are going to have
Speaker 2: to come in, which of course is a problem for
Speaker 2: a lot of people who are on Social Security because
Speaker 2: they might not be mobile or don't have reliable internet access.
Speaker 2: So now instead of requiring applicants and beneficiaries to verify
Speaker 2: their identity online or in person, the agency said those
Speaker 2: who use the phone system will only have to come
Speaker 2: in if they're flagged by an anti fraud system.
Speaker 1: They've changed their mind. Now they're going back the other way.
Speaker 1: Because it got too difficult. Huge backlash, yeh, huge backlash.
Speaker 1: And when I got my SO scurity, I had to
Speaker 1: go in. I know, I put when I was sixty five,
Speaker 1: I pulled my SO security. I had to go in.
Speaker 1: I did and talked to a clerk and it was
Speaker 1: really great. She looked at my name and said, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what. I listened to your show. Do you
Speaker 1: have any idea what kind of a dick you are?
Speaker 1: And that's a quote, all right, too.
Speaker 2: Close for comfort. An American Airlines plane with at least
Speaker 2: three members of Congress on board at Reagan Washington National
Speaker 2: Airport clipped wings with another American Airlines jet. American says
Speaker 2: both of the planes were taxied to the terminal, taken
Speaker 2: out of service, and are being inspected. The damage limited
Speaker 2: to a winglet on each aircraft.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they ran into each other. That's American Airlines
Speaker 1: their new slogan, if we can't do it in the air,
Speaker 1: will do it on the ground.
Speaker 2: Beautiful shocking. California is suing a Trump administration. California and
Speaker 2: a coalition of other states have sued to block the
Speaker 2: Trump administration's attempt to take back hundreds of million dollars
Speaker 2: millions of dollars in federal funding that was intended to
Speaker 2: support the academic recovery of students because of disruptions to
Speaker 2: teaching by the pandemic. The previously awarded funding, including more
Speaker 2: than two hundred million dollars for California alone, is being
Speaker 2: used by schools for after school and summer learning programs,
Speaker 2: student mental health services, new classroom tech, and other infrastructure needs,
Speaker 2: all of which would be in danger if the funds
Speaker 2: are stripped away, according to California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
Speaker 1: And this has to do with how much power the
Speaker 1: executive has. Does the government have the right to clawback
Speaker 1: money that has already been funded and not has yet
Speaker 1: been spent. And of course the President says absolutely, and
Speaker 1: the Republican members of Congress say absolutely. So part of
Speaker 1: the fight with the administration is not only all the
Speaker 1: craziness happening with the tariffs and all that, it's the
Speaker 1: very nature of government. Does the executive have enough power
Speaker 1: to do this? And certainly Trump is arguing that effectively
Speaker 1: the president do any to health anything he wants as
Speaker 1: Congress a Republican members of Congress agree one. So this
Speaker 1: is again Supreme Court. You bet you.
Speaker 2: Here's my question. Do we still have to tip? A
Speaker 2: robot on wheels could soon be serving up your next meal.
Speaker 2: There's a new partnership between door Dash and co Co
Speaker 2: Robotics that will bring food delivery robots to sidewalks around
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Door Dash announced it yesterday, saying eligible customers
Speaker 2: in LA and Chicago can order food through their app
Speaker 2: and it will be delivered by a small box shaped
Speaker 2: robot with zero emissions.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: The FDA is looking to oh, I love this story.
Speaker 2: It's going to phase out more animal testing. The US
Speaker 2: Food and Dark Administration says it's going to be phasing
Speaker 2: out a requirement that monoclonal antibodies and other drugs be
Speaker 2: tested on animals. They say in a news release, there
Speaker 2: are more effective human relevant methods.
Speaker 1: That's kind of neat. Isn't that technology going to where
Speaker 1: it should go?
Speaker 2: I hope?
Speaker 1: So? Yeah, And so animals don't suffer at all. And
Speaker 1: what's really rough is they usually that starts with mice,
Speaker 1: and everything starts with mice. You know how misky cancer
Speaker 1: by using sweet and low, by ingesting sweet and low.
Speaker 1: So all you have to do is drink forty six
Speaker 1: cases of dia coca day, and you too will get cancer.
Speaker 1: But that's all gonna stop, which is great, Which is great.
Speaker 1: Oh here's one.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to wait a while on this one.
Speaker 2: Several customers of a pet cremation company in La say
Speaker 2: they have been waiting four months to get their beloved
Speaker 2: pets ashes. Alexandria Lara lost her little Yorky Coco in December.
Speaker 2: She said, I don't have my babies, and or she doesn't.
Speaker 2: She said she doesn't have babies of her own, so
Speaker 2: her Yorki was her baby. She and others paid hundreds
Speaker 2: of dollars to Rainbow to Heaven to cremate the pets,
Speaker 2: but when talking to the pet owners, none of them
Speaker 2: had received the remains. And it's been months. I got
Speaker 2: mine back in like a week.
Speaker 1: See, I understand you people. You know your dog dies,
Speaker 1: your cat dies, you cremate it and bring the box
Speaker 1: back to put on the mantle at home. Lindsey, she's
Speaker 1: got five boxes of dogs.
Speaker 2: I go, Come on, guys, I never intended to, but
Speaker 2: when Cleo died, I got her creamated. You go, and
Speaker 2: I do have her, of.
Speaker 1: Course, you do? You know I got a call from
Speaker 1: a Handle on the law a little while ago where
Speaker 1: there was a divorce. There was a divorce where they
Speaker 1: were both fighting for the ashes of their dead dog,
Speaker 1: and the woman said, I have the ashes and I
Speaker 1: don't want to give them up, and we're actually going
Speaker 1: to court. My husband wants the ashes. And I said,
Speaker 1: do you have a fireplace and she said, well yeah,
Speaker 1: I go there's your answer. Okay, we're done. Let's get
Speaker 1: out of here. What do you think? This is kf
Speaker 1: I am six forty. You've been listening to the Bill
Speaker 1: Handle Show. Catch my Show Monday through Friday six am
Speaker 1: to nine am, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
