0:00
Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
0:04
Speaker 1: am six forty.
0:14
Speaker 2: Six forty bill Handle Here, What a morning. And we're
0:18
Speaker 2: moving topics around like crazy because it's a live show
0:21
Speaker 2: and we intend to do that to make us even
0:23
Speaker 2: more scrambled than we normally feel as discombobulated as this
0:28
Speaker 2: show is. And I get a lot of comments on that.
0:32
Speaker 2: Another word Amy discombobulated. Today's Royal Grand Pooba. Oh, we
0:37
Speaker 2: do our word for the day. Anyway, This is well.
0:42
Speaker 2: The big news, of course, is the President and he's
0:44
Speaker 2: at Davos right now. It's a question and answer period
0:48
Speaker 2: subsequent to his speech, which went an hour twelve and
0:55
Speaker 2: it was nothing short of spectacular. I mean, there was
0:59
Speaker 2: Neil and I. We're listening to it during the breaks,
1:03
Speaker 2: and the only thing that I this is the one
1:05
Speaker 2: time where I wish I wasn't broadcasting and just sitting
1:09
Speaker 2: back and watching TV and hearing every word of what
1:13
Speaker 2: the President uttered. And as you can imagine, we let
1:18
Speaker 2: me start really quickly with greenland. That was the big issue.
1:23
Speaker 2: He actually said he wasn't going to talk about greenland.
1:26
Speaker 2: He said, I'm not going to talk about greenland, and
1:28
Speaker 2: then he immediately went into his Greenland spiel, and the
1:33
Speaker 2: acquisition of Greenland is absolutely critical. It is essential for
1:38
Speaker 2: the security of America. You know what it's that's not
1:42
Speaker 2: just crazy talk. I mean it does have it's in
1:45
Speaker 2: the middle of the sea lanes, it does have the
1:47
Speaker 2: extraordinary resources that it does have. As he said, it's
1:51
Speaker 2: just a piece of ice. And it is just a
1:54
Speaker 2: piece of ice.
1:55
Speaker 3: Any other world power gone after it or talked about it.
1:58
Speaker 2: No, no, But going to be my next point, and
2:01
Speaker 2: that is we're effectively gonna save Greenland from the Chinese
2:06
Speaker 2: and the Russians, even though the Chinese and the Russians
2:09
Speaker 2: are making no attempt whatsoever to secure Greenland. And he
2:14
Speaker 2: has slammed the European allies, for example, slamming Denmark is
2:21
Speaker 2: as un grateful for refusing to relinquish Denmark, I mean Greenland. Okay,
2:28
Speaker 2: so let me get this right. You are not relinquishing.
2:32
Speaker 2: You said, you're not giving us or allowing us to
2:34
Speaker 2: buy Greenland, and you are ungrateful. And then he went
2:38
Speaker 2: on to point out that we saved Greenland, we saved
2:43
Speaker 2: Denmark's as during World War Two, and he actually used
2:46
Speaker 2: the phrase and damn and I I was always hoping
2:48
Speaker 2: the President would say that if it weren't for us,
2:51
Speaker 2: you'd be speaking German. Come on, that's that's, by the way,
2:57
Speaker 2: maybe true for all I know, and talked about how
3:01
Speaker 2: Denmark put up such opposition and was so brave when
3:06
Speaker 2: the Germans came in six hours. He said, the Germans
3:10
Speaker 2: came in, and it took six hours for you to surrender.
3:16
Speaker 2: I mean, where do you go with this? He also
3:20
Speaker 2: talked about the Board of Peace. He did mention that
3:23
Speaker 2: I'm only going to hit the highlights here because there's
3:25
Speaker 2: so much and we've got a lot more to talk
3:28
Speaker 2: about with Newsome and what's going on there. He spent
3:33
Speaker 2: a lot of time talking about how great he is.
3:35
Speaker 2: That's typical. And he talked about Joe Biden and how
3:38
Speaker 2: Joe Biden had ruined the United States, ruined the economy
3:41
Speaker 2: and here inherited a mess and he straightened it all out.
3:45
Speaker 2: Prices are low, the United States economy is on a
3:49
Speaker 2: role It couldn't be better. It's the greatest economy in
3:52
Speaker 2: the history of the world. He is the greatest president
3:54
Speaker 2: who ever lived. I mean, typical, typical bomb bass from
3:59
Speaker 2: the President. But he did go into oh. He also
4:04
Speaker 2: laid into Europe for their immigration and economic policies, staying
4:10
Speaker 2: that part, stating the parts of the continent are no
4:13
Speaker 2: longer recognizable, and he threatened to impose tariffs up to
4:19
Speaker 2: twenty five percent on eight NATO members who are actually
4:23
Speaker 2: fighting him on the invasion of Greenland or the taking
4:28
Speaker 2: over the acquisition of Greenland. So the Board of Peace, okay,
4:32
Speaker 2: he talked about that now is going to not only
4:36
Speaker 2: did he sty did he create the cease firing Gaza,
4:39
Speaker 2: but his Board of Peace will then rebuild Gaza. He
4:43
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time talking about the domestic economic
4:46
Speaker 2: miracle that his administration created in the first year. He
4:51
Speaker 2: talked about housing and affordability, and he did end up
4:55
Speaker 2: talking about a few things, for example, interest rates. He
4:59
Speaker 2: said interest rates are way too high. He nailed the
5:03
Speaker 2: banks for charging money. He actually asked the question that
5:06
Speaker 2: I have been asking, following my lead, of course, because
5:09
Speaker 2: he listened to this show religiously. And that is what
5:13
Speaker 2: happened to the usury laws. You know, we used to
5:15
Speaker 2: have usury laws. Usury I mean usury is denounced in
5:21
Speaker 2: the Bible. Jesus denounced his usury. Usury is charging exorbitant
5:27
Speaker 2: interest rates, and there used to be usury laws in
5:30
Speaker 2: the United States and they went by the wayside. Why
5:35
Speaker 2: because the big banks, the big financial institutions were able
5:38
Speaker 2: to pull that off. And he talked about that's a problem.
5:42
Speaker 2: He talked about energy, and this is the one I love. Okay,
5:46
Speaker 2: Europe is sort of known as the new green energy
5:51
Speaker 2: part of the world. He condemned them attacking windmills as
5:57
Speaker 2: ineffective in destroying the land. He confirmed reconfirmed his commitment
6:02
Speaker 2: to unlocking the liquid gold, oil and gas under US soil.
6:08
Speaker 2: And he talked about how the green philosophy is the
6:17
Speaker 2: green new scam. It's all a scam. Alternative energy is
6:23
Speaker 2: all a scam. And of course the Democrats one of
6:27
Speaker 2: my favorite lines, and this one doesn't have a lot
6:30
Speaker 2: to do with a whole lot, But as he went
6:32
Speaker 2: off on one of his little spins, he talked about
6:35
Speaker 2: how he is stopping the drugs from coming into the
6:39
Speaker 2: United States and the Democrats went ahead and allowed all
6:43
Speaker 2: of this to happen. And you know, to some extent,
6:45
Speaker 2: he's right, because it was easier to bring drugs in
6:48
Speaker 2: the United States before Trump came into power. And so
6:52
Speaker 2: he talked about and mentioned that they're even bringing drugs
6:56
Speaker 2: in by submarine. We caught two submarines that were full
6:59
Speaker 2: of drugs. Can you imagine submarines bringing in drugs? And
7:03
Speaker 2: then and I quote now, the Democrats said they were
7:07
Speaker 2: fishing submarines and we all know that submarines don't fish.
7:13
Speaker 2: Okay to La Unified School District, which I just love
7:19
Speaker 2: to talk about because I am a victim of LA Unified.
7:23
Speaker 2: Actually I'm not a victim. I did okay. When I
7:25
Speaker 2: went to school, it was pretty good. Well, today La
7:29
Speaker 2: Unified has a lot of problems, as you've heard, and
7:32
Speaker 2: there is a lawsuit that has just been filed against
7:35
Speaker 2: La Unified School District for well it's a DEI program,
7:41
Speaker 2: its inclusion program. And what the lawsuit says is that
7:45
Speaker 2: white students it's gonna have some white students have been
7:48
Speaker 2: discriminated against because the school board, the school district is
7:53
Speaker 2: allocating more resources to schools where at least seventy percent
7:57
Speaker 2: of the students are non white. Poor minority schools get
8:05
Speaker 2: more money than white schools. Now, the argument is do
8:08
Speaker 2: they need it? Who the hell knows? We do know
8:11
Speaker 2: that poor students and they're not getting any better. To say,
8:14
Speaker 2: the least. It doesn't matter how much money is being
8:16
Speaker 2: thrown at them, because well, I'll tell you about that.
8:18
Speaker 2: What I believe is the real problem here. And the
8:21
Speaker 2: defense is, and it goes both ways. There's two sides
8:24
Speaker 2: of this. One is that the minority students are at
8:28
Speaker 2: a disadvantage. They do need more resources, they do need
8:33
Speaker 2: more help, which means it costs more money, and so
8:36
Speaker 2: the resources should be given to them more so than
8:38
Speaker 2: in schools that are primarily white. The other side of
8:41
Speaker 2: it is, hey, there can't be discrimination boys and girls.
8:46
Speaker 2: If we are a company of a country of non discrimination,
8:49
Speaker 2: how can you discriminate? You can't argue non discrimination here. Well,
8:53
Speaker 2: the defense is, we have had a history of discrimination.
8:56
Speaker 2: We have minority students have been screwed over by I
9:00
Speaker 2: were virtually every part of government, including education. They have
9:06
Speaker 2: and now it's leveling the playing field. Well, I talked
9:09
Speaker 2: about leveling the playing field when I did an interview
9:12
Speaker 2: with Jesse Jackson thirty years ago. It was leveling the
9:16
Speaker 2: playing field, and I asked him does the playing field
9:20
Speaker 2: ever get leveled? And he basically said not in the
9:24
Speaker 2: foreseeable future. And I said, what if it never gets leveled?
9:30
Speaker 2: And he said, then we do what we're doing now,
9:34
Speaker 2: and that is put more resources in affirmative action in
9:38
Speaker 2: and it never stops. Okay, well, this lawsuit saying you
9:43
Speaker 2: got it has to stop now if you base it
9:45
Speaker 2: on the achievement of minority kids. And here is where
9:48
Speaker 2: the issue is. It's not so much the teaching. What
9:52
Speaker 2: I think is the culture. If a kid is growing
9:55
Speaker 2: up in a family. Let me give you an example.
9:58
Speaker 2: You've got a black kid family where dad has gone
10:02
Speaker 2: and he's got several other kids, and they live and
10:04
Speaker 2: moms is working three jobs just to feed the kids.
10:08
Speaker 2: You grow up in a very different culture than what
10:10
Speaker 2: my kids, for example, had, and that is tutors if
10:14
Speaker 2: they needed it, went to a private school, and you
10:18
Speaker 2: would think that my kids would do better. Strangely enough,
10:22
Speaker 2: they didn't, which is kind of interesting. I have to
10:27
Speaker 2: yet figure that one out, and I have to talk
10:29
Speaker 2: to them about it today. If they under i'd write
10:32
Speaker 2: to them, but they can't read. So the point I'm
10:35
Speaker 2: making is that this lawsuit is moving forward, and it
10:40
Speaker 2: could be that the court is the federal court. It
10:43
Speaker 2: may just be that those resources are now going to
10:46
Speaker 2: be spent equally. By the way the school board. Of course,
10:50
Speaker 2: I love it. Typical you know, defendant political statement that
10:57
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Unified remains firmly committed to a suring all
11:00
Speaker 2: students have meaningful access to services and enriching educational opportunities. Yeah,
11:07
Speaker 2: what does that mean? That's Babbel talk. It always is, Bill.
11:12
Speaker 3: Why didn't you know we talk about reparations and the like,
11:16
Speaker 3: and everybody talks about money, which I think is stupid.
11:19
Speaker 3: Money means nothing unless you, uh, you know, have an
11:23
Speaker 3: education and all those things. Why didn't we early on
11:27
Speaker 3: as a country, uh, give free education to African Americans?
11:35
Speaker 2: Give them up because Americans, because Africa weren't even big difference.
11:40
Speaker 2: I understand, And you're right, but history, not all white
11:43
Speaker 2: people are rich, not all white people have money, understood, understood,
11:47
Speaker 2: But it's socioeconomic. I was using two examples, extreme examples
11:51
Speaker 2: on each side, and the reality of minority students, particularly
11:55
Speaker 2: black students. And you have to separate blacks from all
11:57
Speaker 2: of the minorities in this concrete slavery is the original
12:01
Speaker 2: sin of this country. Agreed, Black kids couldn't go to
12:04
Speaker 2: school because they weren't human, because they weren't meant to
12:08
Speaker 2: go to school. And have any kind of a career.
12:11
Speaker 2: They were meant to do menial jobs. That's all they
12:14
Speaker 2: were good for. That was the philosophy of this country.
12:17
Speaker 2: And that's what the Civil War, the civil rights movement
12:21
Speaker 2: tried to undo because even though the law says everybody's equal,
12:24
Speaker 2: the Jim Crow laws made absolutely sure that they were.
12:27
Speaker 2: So are you start there?
12:29
Speaker 3: Why didn't we just look at it and say, listen,
12:31
Speaker 3: it's about money, doesn't mean garbage. People are human, They
12:35
Speaker 3: want to create, they want to make things in their
12:37
Speaker 3: own success. Why didn't we just give opportunity? Because we didn't.
12:41
Speaker 2: Because we didn't because that's the way African Americans and
12:45
Speaker 2: other minorities are treated, that's all. And we just thought
12:48
Speaker 2: of it differently. And now see here's the problem. Now,
12:51
Speaker 2: the civil rights movements saying that African Americans are still
12:54
Speaker 2: being discriminated against. And man, if that's the case, I
12:59
Speaker 2: will tell you white people say they're being discriminated against.
13:02
Speaker 2: And there's an argument they have. I can't get into
13:04
Speaker 2: the fire department because I'm not a minority. I can't
13:07
Speaker 2: get that job. Both can be true, yeah, and they
13:10
Speaker 2: both are true. All right, Hey, here's the stat I
13:13
Speaker 2: want to throw at you. And you know, I've seen
13:16
Speaker 2: this happen in my lifetime, and if you're anywhere near
13:19
Speaker 2: my age, you can also have experienced this. Women now
13:23
Speaker 2: outnumber men in law, medical, veterinary, dental schools. Women earn
13:29
Speaker 2: sixty percent of bachelor's degrees. Male College of Roman has
13:32
Speaker 2: fallen nearly four percent. Women are earning forty percent more
13:38
Speaker 2: doctoral degrees than men across the board, across the professions.
13:43
Speaker 2: It's women now. How many times and not so much anymore?
13:47
Speaker 2: But how many times have you heard the first woman
13:50
Speaker 2: too and an insert name of you know, be an
13:53
Speaker 2: airline pilot, be a commander of a ship. I mean,
13:56
Speaker 2: you get a lot of that. And I always got
13:57
Speaker 2: really sick of that because to me, it's the first
14:01
Speaker 2: woman or the first African American. That to me means nothing.
14:04
Speaker 2: It's just that just shows that we're moving towards a
14:07
Speaker 2: somewhat egalitarian society. But I remember the first time I
14:14
Speaker 2: was on an airplane and I heard from the cockpit, Hi,
14:19
Speaker 2: this is the captain speaking, and it was a woman's voice.
14:25
Speaker 2: And I was sitting next to someone I didn't know,
14:27
Speaker 2: and I remember turning to this man and saying, we're
14:31
Speaker 2: going to crash. Listen, life is over women women pilots. Well,
14:42
Speaker 2: the reality is that you know, it doesn't take a
14:45
Speaker 2: lot of upper body strength to be a pilot. You know,
14:48
Speaker 2: when they turn that yoke, it's not like they're grunting
14:52
Speaker 2: and groaning, and it's not put together with all kinds
14:55
Speaker 2: of gears that have to be turned. No, it's the
14:58
Speaker 2: bottom line is women do professions, and they do them
15:04
Speaker 2: well as well or better if you look at all
15:07
Speaker 2: the stats, and so this is a real problem for
15:10
Speaker 2: men and schools particularly. You know what is the reason
15:14
Speaker 2: this is happening. Well, Pew Research looked into this and
15:17
Speaker 2: said men have a lot more options because they can
15:22
Speaker 2: go into what is still considered male jobs, male careers.
15:28
Speaker 2: For example, linemen. You know we see those all the
15:31
Speaker 2: time when there's a storm and the power line goes down.
15:34
Speaker 2: Rarely do you ever see a woman up there. It's
15:36
Speaker 2: a men's job, is what it is. Also, you've got
15:42
Speaker 2: certain other jobs a forkliff driver, et cetera, that you
15:45
Speaker 2: just think of a man's job. Women generally generally don't
15:47
Speaker 2: go into those. And when you talk about the jobs
15:50
Speaker 2: that men traditionally do, and you consider it's a male's job.
15:54
Speaker 2: It's a men's job. You know. That's not a doctor,
15:57
Speaker 2: that's not a veterinarian, it's not someone who is practicing law.
16:03
Speaker 2: Women have now overcome the number of people or males
16:10
Speaker 2: who are going to put to school. And when I
16:12
Speaker 2: went to law school, I'm trying to remember, it was
16:15
Speaker 2: that how many women were there relative to the number
16:19
Speaker 2: of men. I don't remember. So does that help you?
16:23
Speaker 2: Here we go, we'll use that for a promo. When
16:26
Speaker 2: I went to law school, how many women were in
16:30
Speaker 2: the class? I don't remember. This is deep, very very
16:35
Speaker 2: deep stuff. Okay, moving out, Okay, we're moving into another direction.
16:40
Speaker 2: Today is a little strange. Hey, you know, I'm trying
16:42
Speaker 2: to figure out why everything's so screwed up this morning.
16:45
Speaker 2: A couple of things. I think there are three reasons.
16:48
Speaker 2: Reason Number one is because we're changing this thing because
16:51
Speaker 2: of what happened at Davos with the President speaking. We're
16:55
Speaker 2: interspersing things as the news is coming down. A matter
16:58
Speaker 2: of fact, the latest was I'm pretty up from and
17:01
Speaker 2: it is ten or twelve pages that talk about what happened.
17:04
Speaker 2: So there's that. Also. The other reason is colonoscopy. I
17:09
Speaker 2: know the two aren't particularly related. But tomorrow I get
17:14
Speaker 2: a colonoscopy, and needless to say, I am noodling about
17:19
Speaker 2: that for some reason. I'm thinking and not particularly thrilled
17:24
Speaker 2: about it, especially the prep the night before, and they
17:26
Speaker 2: don't use general anesthesia, so I'm going to be wide awake,
17:29
Speaker 2: and I just I'm one of those people that don't
17:32
Speaker 2: enjoy that. And you're going to be awake, Yeah, Twilight's sleep.
17:37
Speaker 2: I don't do well with twilight sleep.
17:40
Speaker 3: Why aren't you doing propofile?
17:42
Speaker 2: I asked for and they don't do it anymore. Propofile
17:46
Speaker 2: is the best, of course, it's the best. It knocks
17:50
Speaker 2: you out completely and you feel like you had a
17:53
Speaker 2: wonderful nap. Yeah, no, you don't even remember. I mean
17:56
Speaker 2: some of the best sex I've ever had was with
17:58
Speaker 2: my partner who was on propo phil propofol. I mean
18:02
Speaker 2: it was just not a lot of movement, but very
18:05
Speaker 2: very satisfied. And the other reason is that because I
18:11
Speaker 2: can't drink coffee, I can't. I can only drink water
18:14
Speaker 2: all day today I am addicted to coffee. I mean,
18:20
Speaker 2: there is no question about it. I woke up this
18:22
Speaker 2: morning usually go right to the coffee machine, and espresso machine.
18:25
Speaker 2: I might add in Amy who just got one, and
18:29
Speaker 2: I go straight to the coffee machine and make a
18:30
Speaker 2: couple of cups of coffee. I'm just on water today.
18:33
Speaker 2: And if you are addicted to coffee the way I
18:35
Speaker 2: am addicted to coffee, guess what you literally go through withdrawals,
18:40
Speaker 2: not crazy withdrawals, but and I'm in the middle of withdrawals.
18:44
Speaker 2: So here we are coffee and withdrawal, the colonna, the
18:49
Speaker 2: colonoscopy tonight without tomorrow without propofol, and just in general,
18:58
Speaker 2: it's just one of those days, right, Okay, what else
19:03
Speaker 2: we're we gonna do? Oh a quick reminder, Ask Handle Anything,
19:07
Speaker 2: which occurs every every Friday at eight thirty after Foody
19:11
Speaker 2: Friday with Neil we do the fork Report or fork
19:14

19:50
Speaker 2: whole point of this was created for the sole purpose
19:53
Speaker 2: of embarrassing me. Neil chooses the questions and frankly, the
19:59
Speaker 2: more moronic more or I appreciate it. Just to prove
20:01
Speaker 2: the world I feel like Donald Trump, you guys were
20:05
Speaker 2: a bunch of morons. Europe is a bunch of idiots.
20:09
Speaker 2: Great fun and if you had not listened to or
20:12
Speaker 2: parts of what Trump did this warning, it was spectacular. Also,
20:16
Speaker 2: what's going on right now with the Supreme Court. It
20:20
Speaker 2: is hearing arguments on how independent the FED is and
20:26
Speaker 2: will no doubt be talking about that tomorrow because the
20:29
Speaker 2: arguments are right now in front of the Court where
20:33
Speaker 2: the Trump administration is arguing that the FED should not
20:36
Speaker 2: be as independent as it is. It's the firing of
20:39
Speaker 2: Lisa Cook, who is one of the members of the FED,
20:45
Speaker 2: and Trump wanted her out and is making moves and
20:48
Speaker 2: did make moves to fire her, and she filed a lawsuit.
20:52
Speaker 2: And it all has to do with the independence of
20:54
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve and that is a big, big deal.
20:58
Speaker 2: I mean, some of this is fun with the Trump administration,
21:01
Speaker 2: and some of it is not so much fun. This
21:03
Speaker 2: one not so much fun. Okay, some good stuff coming up.
21:08
Speaker 2: US overdose that's have fallen fallen, fallen, and President Trump
21:14
Speaker 2: is taking a lot of credit for this, as he should,
21:18
Speaker 2: because a lot of what he is doing has helped
21:21
Speaker 2: the issue enormously. We'll be back with that, KFIAM six.
