  Speaker 2: Okay, Yes, there's no Dodgers bra. Yes, do they even
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: have a Dodgers bra or Dodgers underwear?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: I would imagine you could find it if you look
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: for it, but I have not experienced that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I'll bet you could probably find No, you couldn't because
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers would file restraining orders. So someone came out
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: with Dodger underwear, it would be for guys.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It would be boxer shorts. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: can find it on.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure, and I'm surprised that they're
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: probably all lawsuits and restraining orders all over the place. Cono,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: good morning, good morning, And there is Will Coleschreiber, Good morning.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Who is that on your T shirt? It's BUCkies, Bucky.

  Speaker 2: If you've ever driven in the South and you haven't
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: stopped at a BUCkies, you're missing out. What's BUCkies? It's like
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it's like a seven or eleven on steroids.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, very fucking excellent, Okay, yeah, goome on you, Neil, Hey,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and there is we have everybody, and there's and there
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and I think the whole team is there money.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Okay. We got the news yesterday.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's already news out there that K and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: X is getting rid of its FM station. It's public knowledge,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming, right, Neil, Yeah, okay, right, Okay. So k
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and X, which is the all news station, is flipping
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: its FM because they simulcast FM ninety seven one as
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: well as ten to seventy on the AM dial, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: so ninety seven one is their FM and they simulcast,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: as I said, and so they compete against us. Basically,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: it's the same demo and it's all news. And it was.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: When they went all news, it cannibalized us. I mean,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: there's no question about it. But they gave up the
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the FM part of it to become a sports station.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: So what we're going to do in reference in I
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: won't say we're telling you, but in opposition to them,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: we are going to have every day a sports hour.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, how about them Dodgers? What do you think?
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Kno, quit clapping. It's not going to happen. Okay, no,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: it is not gonna happen. How many times can you
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: hear me say, hey, how about them Dodgers?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But there's also Lakers right now? Oh yeah, it's true too.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Petro Sponts asked me, Petro spons I know, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: don't know, because it's just it's new. It's radio news,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a little inside baseball, oh inside baseball. And Petro Sws
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: asked me who my favorite football players were, and I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: said Jim Thorpe was one, he played baseball and football,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and y A Tittle and Johnny Unitas and he goes,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: they're all dead and they all died forty years ago.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I go, yeah, that's true. True, Okay, so we won't
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: be doing we will not be doing sports.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I do have a story.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: At one point in my life before I came to KFI,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I was over at KBC, and KBC was the heritage
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: station at that time, much like KFI has become the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: heritage station here in Los Angeles. And they carried the
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Dodgers and they had sports talk where before and after
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the show or after the game. They would basically become
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: a sports station for that day, for the Dodgers day,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and they would it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Was five hours, like three.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: At six hours, three hours before, three hours after the game.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: And I remember they took phone calls and there was
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: a guy who had been waiting. It was Collins on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: this and there was a guy who had been waiting
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: for almost three hours on hold to get on to
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the air for an opinion or for a question. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: so the guest, the host of the show, I said, Okay,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: let's go to some Hispanic guy, Jose or whatever. And Jose,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: you've been waiting waiting on all almost three hours on hold,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: So what do you have to say?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: What's your question? Go Dodgers? And he hung up.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I go, there's a guy who has a life, okay,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna do the same thing with sports talk
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: every day for our hour. Okay, I wonder if that's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: going to go in the trades. Probably not, all right, guys,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I was about to ask who your favorite ballplayer is,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: but I'm not going to.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Do you know who your favorite favorite curling champion is
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: in the Winter Olympics. I'll see you see you know
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: you guys aren't sports people.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You aren't. You have a stack of news stories in
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: front of you. No, no, no, ann go.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, you guys, ready to do it? A little bit

• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Amy Neil and me lead story.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Well, the debate was last night. Everybody attacking everybody else.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: And what's really sweating the Democrats is the fact that
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: number one Steve Hilton, former Fox News host, is ahead
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: of everybody else, not by a huge amount, but because
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are cannibalizing each other and if some of
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: them don't drop out, a Republican is going to be
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the next governor. And here's the question, since he is
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: a former Fox News host, what cabinet post do you
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: think he's going to get?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Okay? Moving on?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And they attacked each other like crazy and homelessness, I mean,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the normal stuff.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Did you watch I watched part of it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It was did you watch the part that Julie Watts
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: was the moderator for? I know, I did not, So
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: she's she's the reporter who talked to Katie Porter that
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: really kind of remember when she had her melt down
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: and said I'm not doing this interview and walked out
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: or threatened to walk out. So Julie Watts is that reporter.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: And she was the moderator for thirty minutes of the
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: debate and then right in the middle she was on
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: fire like calling the candidates out, Hey, you didn't answer
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: the question. Hey, I'm not afraid I'm going to cut
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: your mic if you keep talking over each other. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: apparently she I know she It was really interesting. It
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: was the Julie Show. For that part of it. But
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting that she did longer interviews
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: with all of the candidates and they're posted on our
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: website somewhere that I'm like, I think I want to
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: watch because I want to like get longer answers. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: want to know what these candidates were actually are.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: About and what they should do.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: The moderator should have an off button that when the
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: thirty seconds is up, you have thirty seconds cut them
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: off mid stream, right there. I moderated one one political
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: debate and it was Brad Sherman against someone who was
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: running against for Congress. Brad Sherman is still there, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I brought an airhorn with me, you know the ones
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: that you have the canned of compass there or yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: And what would happen when they hit their thirty seconds?
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I would just you know, they did what they were
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: supposed to do, But no one has the balls to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Have one of those timers, like at a hotel bathroom
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: or something where the lights shut off, have a certain
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: amount of time.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Since sending the major bus campaign on April seven and
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: the ceasefire, Trump is kind of walked back from escalating
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: the conflict opening up a space for talks and everything
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But I think he did miss I think he missed
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Amy Mamy's story about it. That's okay, he can do
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: his and then I'll do mine. Oh sorry about that.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: A right, go ahead do your koto threatening to destroy
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: entire Iranian civilization. But uh he on Monday, he uh
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Trump Aids told or he told his Trump aids that
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: they have a three step offer to open the Straits
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: of Hormuz save nuclear talks from the final phase because
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Tehran was not negotiating in good faith.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, Tehran is They're they're just sitting back.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Uh. The uh, the administration and many people thought that
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the attack, the second attack on Iran by the United
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: States would just shut down Iran.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And then the.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, not enough, not too many people said that
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Iran has the power to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: That was not in the planning. And when Iran did,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and now it's the standstill. As oil prices are exploding,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: as the price of fertilizers going to get up, you're
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: going to go through the roof.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It is going to be very very tough.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: And I don't and I think the president is stuck
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: between a rock and a hard place, and the administration
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: doesn't know which way to turn, and it's now a
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: hard place, pardon Iran, and a hard place. Yeah, a
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: hard rock and a hard place. Uh, you know what,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: that's very good. That's very good. I wish I had
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: said that, you don't do me a favor. If you
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: have anything that clever, pass it to Kono and then
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Kono will tell me that line during on my headset
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: so I can take credit for it. I hate, okay,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I hate when you guys are that clever.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Mickey Mouse, respect quest from the FCC. The Federal Communications
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Commission is issued an order directing Disney's TV stations to
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: file their broadcast licensed renewals ahead of schedule. They're not
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: up for renewal until twenty twenty eight, but now the
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: FCC says they want those applications in by This may
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: apparently tied to a year long investigation into Disney's DEI practices.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Right, that's right, Yes, it got fast tracked after Jimmy
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Kimmel made a joke about Malania Trump. Right, interesting timing.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you make a joke about a president,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: certainly his wife and even I believe his allies. Then
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: what happens is the government is just put uses its
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: power to nail you. And Trump is insisting in Milania,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: insisting that kim will get fired straight out because what
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: he said was so horrific. There's most of the thing
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: as a First Amendment, as far as this administration is concerned,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: doesn't exist.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And it's just crazy. Now. The good news is the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: new Disney CEO is saying, not a chance.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Disney did cave the last time around and suspended Jimmy
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Kimmel when Kimmel, Uh, I wouldn't say made a joke.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I guess he did make a joke about Charlie Kirk
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: or an untoward statement. But you don't lose your license
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: for that, you know, you really don't. And how does
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: a network suspend someone for doing that for bad taste?
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know. You you say things that are horrible.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Bill Handle on KFI says horrible things about the government
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: and Trump. Bill Handle heard here six to nine am.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Money.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: I'm just not I can't imagine them coming after Bill
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Handle who says horrible things about Trump.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I do, I do, and I'm not on
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the radar I'm not on the radar.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: That's not even American citizen.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Really when you find out hates America, Bill Handle, Yeah,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: six to nine.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: On KF try yeah on KFI more stimulating talk radio.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Right, I know I'm not on the radar. And how
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: many local toxics Bill Handles not on the radar to Trump?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Trump president?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, you know what we should record that, which we
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: did and just send that in. I'll tell you one thing,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: if you know, I make a lot of fun of
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: iHeart a lot, as you know, but knowing of not
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that I am friends with Bob Pittman and wrestler who
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: run iHeart. But I know enough about them where if
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: any host or any DJ in the system was that
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: ABC or excuse me, the Trump administration threatened to fire
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: them or licensed would be at risk. I believe that
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the iHeart management would just tell the government you can
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: go stuff it, which is exactly what Disney is doing.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It's a big issue. It is a big issue to
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: find that out, Bill Handle. Okay, excellent, Thank you so much.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Does anybody think that Neil has not yet made his point?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: No, Bill Handle six to nine. Okay, here's another one. Uh, Neil,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: except it's still my turn. It's still I screwed up,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So it's still in Okay, go ahead.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Sky high prices at the pump. US gas prices have
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: hit a new record since the start of the war
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: with Iran and a four year high four to twenty
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: three a gallon on Wednesday. That's nationally, of course. I
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: think I'm paying six something six point fifty a gallon
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: last time I filled up. Oil prices have surged higher
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: over the past week because of the dual blockade by
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: the US and Iran. In this strait of horror, Moves
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: says the key check or choke point for getting oil
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: in and out of the Persian Gulf.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, are we hearing anymore that oil prices or gasoline
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: prices are going to be cut in half, that they're
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: going to go down?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I can't say that. Sorry about that. Gas prices have decreased.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: You may think they're not, but they have. Am I
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: going to get fired for that one?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know either. Oh, here's a.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Post a photo that seems to be working. Former FBI
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: director James B. Comey has been indicted on allegations that
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: a photo he posted on social media back in twenty
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: twenty five, You remember the the one with the eighty
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: six forty seven written, Yeah, yeah, there were shells on
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: the beach, right and so eighty six, which you know
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: they use that in restaurants to mean we're all out
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: of or done with. But they say the government is
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: saying that it can also be slang for killing a person. Yeah,
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: and no, not just it could be slang. It is
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: a threat out and out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Eighty six forty seven is a threat against the president
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: of the United States, that Komy intended to argue that
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: the president should be killed and threaten the president. This
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: is how insane this has gotten. They got an indictment
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to do this. Yeah, they got an indictment. Well, he
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: says he just ran across it and he posted it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I have no idea whether he ran across it or
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: put it up or did the shells himself. But to
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: argue eighty six forty seven is a threat to kill
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the president of the United States is insanity. And so
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: there's a arrest. There's an arrest warrant against Komy. He
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: has not yet been arrested. There's just a warrant out
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: and I think they're negotiating where he can turn himself in.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I would love it if they went out and simply
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: rested him, threw him in handcuffs and hauled him in.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Uh. And it's and maybe the maybe.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Uh, the prosecutor would argue no bail because he's such
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: a threat. He's a threat flight or a threat of.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, a physical threat. I mean, it's this has gotten insane.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine going in front of a jury and
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: arguing eighty six means it is the threat to kill
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the president. So if I post let's get rid of
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: the president, that's a threat to kill him anything that
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: It's just it's beyond insane. You know, every single prosecutor,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: every single expert that was interviewed by everybody said this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: This is just crazy. This makes no sense whatsoever. It
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: doesn't stop though, it doesn't stop, all right.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Dismissed. A federal judge has dismissed a US Department of
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Justice lawsuit against Arizona. It was seeking access to the
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: state's detailed voter records. US District Judge Susan Bernovich, who
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: was appointed by President Trump, wrote that Arizona's statewide voter
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: registration list is not a document subject to request by
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: the attorney general under federal law. She dismissed the lawsuit
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: with prejudice because she wrote an amendment would be legally futile.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: This is another move by the administration when the judge
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: wrote that it would be legally futile. The constitution specifically
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: says all voting is relegated to the states. That's it,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: real simple. The states control the voting. There's that pesky
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: constitution again. That's just getting in the way, isn't it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: It's just that drives you nuts. With prejudice means they're
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: not coming back now. Every single time that there was
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: a request by the government for this information by states
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: and a lawsuit was filed, the judge said, you can't
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: go forward. The states are not required to turn over
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: that information. Now, red states are doing it voluntarily. The
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: government wants it, we're giving it to them. And we're
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: talking about Alaska, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, on and on.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: We got thirteen red states that are saying, oh, if
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: they want our information, we're giving our information out, which
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: they can do.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Because it's a state issue. So that's probably going to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: be appilled.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: That's going to go up, but it's not going to
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: pass constitutional muster.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: There's no way.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: All right here in Westminster, California, street signs are going up.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: They're in Orange County honoring Slaye Lane rather political activist
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk. Mixed reactions obviously somewhat to honor Kirk. There's
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: others that are divided by the conservative activism. The city
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: council decided to rename a street after the slain conservative activists.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Also October fourteenth, which is Kirk's birthday, as Charlie Kirk.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Day, right, and remember that they're bringing back that song.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I think it was the Monkeys the last train to Kirksville.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: That's coming back in a big, big way. You're going
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: to get a street named after you, Psycho path. Yeah, oh,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: that's another one that's you, and that's and Amy.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of you guys being more clever than I am.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sick of it. We get together before the show
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: and write a bunch of singers.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah you do so, Charlie Kirkway, I just now the
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Vietnamese community are going to do this, and maybe you know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: they may even change the name of the city completely
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: to Kirkland.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I have no idea you would like it then Kirkland.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, very strong, also up north out in Seattle, although
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Washington would probably not do it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine many towns in Washington that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Would go to Kirkland, like oh, I understand, yeah, Costco Kirkland, Yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And that effect.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: It's so liberal in Washington's with some of the liberal states,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: they may even get rid of the Kirkland brand.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: The UAE is getting out the United Arab Emirates, one
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: of the largest oil producers in the world, is leaving OPEK,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: and they're not wasting any time in leaving. They're leaving
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: May first. The decision, according to the UAE, reflects their
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: long term strategic and economic vision and evolving energy profile.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: This move is likely to be seen as a strategic
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: win for President Trump, who's repeatedly accused OPEK of manipulating
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: oil prices and ripping off the US.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: He's absolutely right. OPEK has way too much power.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: They determine basically the price of oil by deciding how
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: much oil to produce, because they can either increase or
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: decrease the amount of oil.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: And it's been long held that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: The world is at their mercy and the president is
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: absolutely right.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: So how come if this can be seen as a
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: good thing, kind of breaking up that cartel. Why did
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: it make gas prices go up?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Oh it didn't, No, it did.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, prices are up four.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And a half or yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: But that's because the straight of her moves. That's all that.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Nothing else. This As a matter of fact, if it
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: weren't for the straight of her moves, prices a gas
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: would probably go down because it takes away the power
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: of OPEK because they control most of the oil, the
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: vast majority of the oil in the world, and they
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: act as one source of oil. They work in combination
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: with each other, and so when it comes to oil,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: they're all. It's basically one country when it comes to
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: oil production. Its collusion is what it is. It's absolute.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: In the United States it would be antitrust, which of
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: course it is not.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want. But I think the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: President made a good move on this one. I really
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: do all right.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Monks and Mariwana, Sri Lanka authorities said twenty two Buddhist
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: monks were arrested for possession of over one hundred and
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: ten kilos of cannabis, which is illegal in the South
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Asian nation. So this was at the International Airport of
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: the capital Colombo, largest ever drug bust at the terminal.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, monks, I mean, you don't expect monks.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: To explains why they're so chill, It's true.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: And yeah, if you have to be silent, I mean
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: if giggling, is giggling part of the value silence.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: And there's there are no skinny.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Monks in this bust at all, or to Rito's yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, proving that Bill handle was right all along. The
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: latest thing that Trump is putting his name and his
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: face on is your passport. The State Department has rolled
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: out a limited edition passport to commemorate the two hundred
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: and fiftieth anniversarity anniversary of American Independence, prominently featuring President
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Trump's face on the inside. Cover mockups show his image
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: surrounded by text of the Declaration of Independence and the
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: American flag, along with his signature in gold.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, a couple things.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: First of all, all these photos of Trump across the
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: board rename him. Don't they all look like he has constipation.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: There's not one that has a smile.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Doesn't work. It looks like he's really you.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Know, Okay, he does look a little poopy pants, doesn't it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: and I'm looking. I'm looking at some of the stuff
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: he put his name on, which is absolutely hilarious. For example,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: if you go to the National Parks, they have passes.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: It used to be just George Washington on the photo
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: on the passes. Guess what, there's two of them.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: If you go to the Department of Justice, there is
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: a banner from top to bottom that has Trump's picture
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: It gets better. There's been pressure.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Trump pressured Chuck Schumer that he has a campaign to
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: rename New York's Penn station after Trump. I mean, it
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: doesn't stop, and don't forget Trump bar x oh man,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I just it becomes insane. Of course, his signature is
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: now on the currency that's important, and it goes down.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Then the Kennedy, the Trump Kennedy Center. It doesn't stop.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: It doesn't stop.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: So Newsome on his press ex account said, in honor
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: of the one hundred and seventy fifth anniversary of California
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: being a state, there's new driver's licenses and it has
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: it has Newsome's face on it as a joke, obviously,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: But the cool thing is if you squeeze the part
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: of his hair on the driver's license, you can refill
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: your oil with it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well said, It's just it's just it's incredible.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It's just incredible.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: The airlines continue to become, I don't know, more difficult.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: I suppose American Airlines is updating their battery policy soon,
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: going to require passengers to keep any portable battery packs
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: visible when in use, and you can't charge them in
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: the plane. They don't want you stowing them away because
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: these things can spark.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they can make an ignite, you know. You know
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: who actually recognized this early on was Jerry Lee Lewis,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: right with great balls of Fire.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Didn't you have that in college? Yeah that's true.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, yes, I think we have time for one more.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, this is kind of a sad way to end it,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: but a cruise off Catalina turned deadly. A woman fell
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: off a balcony and landed on a deck below recently
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: on a Carnival cruise ship. The woman's family was able
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: to depart the ship and return home. They're still investigating it.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: You know, the cruise ship is saying our support is
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: for the family, but they don't know exactly why she fell.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of Carnival cruises, but not to
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: this level. Oberiously too soon. Okay, we're done, excellent, well said,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: we are done.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: All right. Coming up, well, the governor of debate.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Last night the candidates, this particularly the Democrats, were screaming
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: at each other and this is not good news for
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: the Democrats. So I'll tell you right now and we'll
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: talk about that coming up. This is KFI AM sixty.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Catch my show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
