• 5:31
  Speaker 2: like you know a horse and a trough.

• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Bruno does when he does these things and he's on,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: usually we or Neil puts him on for a segment.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Two things don't happen. We don't get that potato chip

  Speaker 2: he doesn't pitch the restaurant very often. He's very very
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: cool about that. Just a quick word. It's Easter and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: birthdays Anaheim White House. You will not be disappointed. The
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: food is that good. It is a destination restaurant of
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the first order. And it's not insanely expensive either. It
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: is for what you get, it's very reasonably priced. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you know it's not one hundreds of dollars per person.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: It's it's reasonably priced and it's insanely good. So calendar
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that one. Anaheim white House. It's a beautiful property too.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It is. Oh yeah, the Anaheim white House is a
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: cultural landmark. It looks just like the white House. It
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: was built in nineteen oh four. And on top of that,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a company that I am marginally involved with gave a
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: seventeen piece knife set that was personalized with a huge
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: block and the thing weighed fifty pounds and I got
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to ship one of these boxes to Atlanta. I can't
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: wait to see how much that one costs. So that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: was given by Platinum Cookware, which is owned by Well
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Two Jews, Two Jews. Yeah, one South African Jew, one
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Brazilian Jew. Okay, let's do it. It's time for Handle
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: on the News with Amy Neil and me lead story.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna give the lead story to Amy
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: because a lot is breaking, So Amy take it from here.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Okay. So around midnight local time last night, plane on
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Air Canada Express plane had just landed at LaGuardia Airport
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: and as it was taxing down the runway or they
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: don't actually know if it was in the taxing or
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: if it was still slowing down from landing. They're still
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: determining that. At that time, Port Authority fire engine was
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: crossing the runway. It had approval to cross the runway
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: because it was headed over to another emergency that had
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: been requested by a United Flight and the plane and
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the fire engine collided. Basically, it ripped off the nose cone.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Both pilots, the pilot and the co pilot were killed.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: There were over seventy people on board. Forty one of
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: them went to the hospital. Nine are still in the
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: hospital with more serious injuries.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I thought you were going to do the story, which
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: we'll come back with what's happening in Iran and the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: President that one too. Yeah, the President postponing the attack
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: on Iran. So let Amy do that when we come back,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: because that is a big, big, big story to say
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the least. And the world is reacting, The entire world
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: is reacting. I'll be back with that KFI AM six
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: forty bill handled here Monday morning, March twenty third. Let's
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: do it more handle on the news, Amy, Neil and
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: me taken a pause.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: President Trump over the weekend had threatened to bomb Iranian
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: power plants if they didn't open up the straight of
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: or hormones in forty eight hours, and that forty eight
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: hours would have hit about this afternoon. Well, then this
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: morning he put out a truth social post and said
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: We're not going to do that. He said that they
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: have had very productive conversations regarding a complete total resolution
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: of hostilities in the Middle East with Iran, and says
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: for that reason, we're going to put any thread of
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: strikes on hold for five days. Iran, of course responded.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Until five days is up, and then the threat will
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: be to bomb Iran, and then he'll pull back again,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: because this whole thing is a ping pong game for
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: threat across for Trump across the board.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: By the way, yeah, and did you hear Iran's response?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Iranian state TV announced US president backs down following Iran's
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: firm mourning it's true.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely true. Iran was about to take out all
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: of the Mid East production oil production of every one
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of its neighboring states. It knocked a lot of those
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: down right, and it's going to take all of it out.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And obviously at that point that'll be in response to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: President Trump ordering the taking out of all Iranian production.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Carg Island, particularly up in the north part of the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Persian Gulf, which produces or at least transports, refines ninety
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: percent of the oil in Iran, and between Iran and
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the Gulf states they lie virtually one on income from oil.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got Dubai in a few other countries
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: financial centers. But the whole thing is based on oil.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Oil production disappears, and that is going to wreak havoc
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: on the world production of oil and all of it,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: how much is based on oil, not only gasoline, but
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: manufacturing and transportation, I mean all of it. So it's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: almost like we are on the verge of a nuclear
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: war and somebody told Trump you can't do this, and
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Iran they're going to cut a deal where I don't
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: even know what the deal is going to be.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Why would that be a nuclear war?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: No, it's like a nuclear war affecting so many Yeah,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: no it is. It would not be a nuclear war,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: but it's as close to wiping out, in this case,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: entire economies. It's crazy, but at least it's good news.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And Jerry Kushner and Steve Whykeoff who witcoff him too,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: All three of those guys are all of the negotiations.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Which yourn says isn't going on. Yeah, they're like, oh no,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: we're not talking to the US.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think they are back channel. I think
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: they are unless Trump is making it up. Oh, that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: would never be happening. Would it moving on?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: All right? Tom Homan, you know him best as the
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: White House boarders are blazinga. He confirmed Sunday what Trump
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: had said on Saturday, and that is that ICE agents
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: may be used and deployed it to US airports today.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: That would be, you know, in place of TSA because
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: you have what some four hundred TSA agents that have
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: already quit, and you have others that are calling out
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: sick as they're not being paid. So this was all
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: came down on CNN's State the Union on Sunday, where
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: mister Homan said that his agency was drawing up plants.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Nothing that we know has been formalized as yet, but
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: that is what I'll probably move forward.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Not talking about immigration enforcement, talking about support for the TSA.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: And if that is the case, if it is omitted
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to that number one, it'll help the situation and it'll
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: do a lot for the reputation of the Homeland Security.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Take this job and shove it. That's what a lot
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: of TSA people are saying. Neil just mentioned it. About
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: four hundred have quit the job since the partial government
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: shutdown began because what they've been working without a paycheck
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: for a month. They'll eventually get their money, but right
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: now they don't get they don't have it, and they
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: got bills to pay DHS. DHS's TSA, the Transportation Security Administration,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: has about sixty five employees, and a lot of workers
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: are saying they're worried about not being able to pay
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: bills or worse because they're just not getting money. There's
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a ten percent national call out rate for TSA actions
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Some airports have a thirty percent.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like the one in Atlanta and.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Nison Hartfield or Heartfield.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and also in Hardburg in Texas. It's really bad.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And then they just put out a warning for San Diego,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: like apparently it hasn't been so bad at LAX, but
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: warning has been put out in San Diego that there's
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: going to be long lines in delays.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Now, four hundred out of sixty five thousand employees is nothing.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: It's a drop in the bucket. But this thing hasn't
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: really hit yet because it keeps ongoing. How many of
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: them are actively looking for work so they get paid,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and who is going to hold off because at this
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: point there is no movement between the Democrats and the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Republicans in terms of the part of the budget. All right, well,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll talk about that a little bit later on.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: six forty.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I AM six forty Bill Handled here Monday morning, March

  Speaker 4: All Right, so you've been hearing this story. Amy was
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: talking about it. Seven hundred cats and dogs rex rescued
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: from a Lake Hughes property. What a story. So this
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: woman says that she has an animal assistance program, it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: animal care. But you've got four hundred dogs, three hundred cats,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: most of which were in cages. Some of the response
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: said that there was no water in the cages and
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: things like that. This is a home property, it seems like.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: And Friday, March twentieth, you had animal control issue go
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: out there and they were in like hazmat suits and everything. So,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: according to the department, which was receiving assistance from the SPCA,

• 16:22
  Speaker 4: more than seventy animal care and control staffers had to
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: descend on the property to take care of this. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: the woman says she's gonna fight it.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she says that the animals were fine, and it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a felony with when you
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: deal with this. I know cruelty to animals can be
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a felony.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: But how could you take care of that many?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: You can't. Come on, you can't. Oh, here's a story
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: about animals.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Leave the bears alone, would you. That is the message
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: from a group of people in Monrovia who got together
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: over the weekend for a vigil for the bear that

  Speaker 3: not this last weekend, but the weekend before. The bear
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: was then captured on Sunday along with her two cubs,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: and then wildlife officials deemed that she was a threat
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: because she had also taken a swipe at somebody else
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: the previous June.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point, when you know it's a bear,
• 17:38

• 18:54
  Speaker 2: And it was, you know, the post I'm glad he's dead.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Oh he is.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the post. That's yeah, I know, that's
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the post that Trump put out. And it didn't hurt
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: anyone else, I know, just insane and and some Republicans
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: were asked specifically, don't you think this was a little
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: bit off base?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: No, Trump, the way Trump, the way Trump was treated,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: that was that was the deflection, the way he was treated.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: He was treated horribly by Mueller and would not answer,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: of course, the question, do you think it's okay to
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: post I'm glad he's dead President of the United States?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: You'll ever find a Republican to rip it doesn't matter.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Shoot someone on in broad daylight on uh? What in
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: broad daylight on? Uh? On Broadway and noon and noon,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: and you say he was only defending himself. Yeah, he
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: was shot in the back. Well, he was backing up
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: obviously being a hyperbolic here and making an analogy about
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: when I might add, but come on, guys, you know
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: at some point, can't you just say he was wrong? No?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: All right, here's some news for those people that are
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: have a problem with the illegal and legal immigration.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Fewer people are coming to America, not crossing the border illegally,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: but getting visas. The US issued about a quarter million
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: fewer visas in the first eight months of twenty twenty
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: five compared to the same period in twenty twenty four.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: The biggest number of visa declines were from India and China.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: China, China, all right, and there were just really quickly.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: They're reissuing the Neil Diamond song. It's now not coming
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: to America. Not coming. Yeah, that works in sure.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Now, Neil, Okay, the last thing you want if you're
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: in the Middle East is to have twenty five hundred
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Camp Penalty marines coming your way. And that's what's happening.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: You got three San Diego warships carrying those twenty five
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: hundred Camp Pendleton marines in route now to the Middle East,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: so says the Daily News. So this was all dealing
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: with the war against Iran. And I don't know if
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: I had boots, I'd shake in him if I was
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: in you know.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: The two things that two aspects of this one is
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: it doesn't look like the festivities the activities have stopped.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Israel still going against Iran. I do believe Iran is
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: still launching those drones, but.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: In action all weekend.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And so this one's weird because the president is
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: backing down. He was going to blow Iran to smitherines,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: as he said, into oblivion, taking out all of its
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: oil production and its transportation at midnight tonight, and he's
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: now pulled back because there are some good negotiations going
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: on between Iran and the United States. Iran is saying,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: what are you talking about? There are no negotiations. So
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the question is the President using this as an excuse
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: to back down and not go right into the oil
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: World War three? And I don't know the answer to that.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Do you really think that Iran is being honest?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because back channel stuff. I think Iran,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the regime, yes number one, scrambling and realizing if this
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: thing continues and President Trump is telling the truth about
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: blowing Iran's entire oil production and refinery and transportation system
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: into the ground, Iran ceases to have an economy. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: is the regime prepared to do that? I mean, they're
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: willing to take down. Iran's willing to take down the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: entire Mid East, the oil production, and they can do it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: And so I think everybody is realizing, I don't know
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: what's going on. I think the President is backing down,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: and I think he's looking for an excuse to back
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: down because he can't be wrong. He can't just say WHOA,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: We're too close to just annihilation of.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Oil hard and hit first.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, Iran has the drones. Iran has the drones. They
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: could take They could take out the Mid East very easily. Easily.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: They have thousands of drones, maybe of tens of thousands
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: of drones. You know that each of those drones, when
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the United States launches a Patriot missile, for example, to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: shoot down a ballistic missile coming in, it's four million
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: dollars per missile. A drone costs Iran thirty five thousand
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: dollars to produce. And I heard an interview yesterday saying
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: of the missiles, the Patriot missiles that have been launched,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the US could have bought twenty three thousand drones. And
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: in terms of numbers, I think Iran has the upper
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: hand in terms of the damage it can do really okay,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: party well in terms of of the Mid East. In
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: terms of the Mid East, I don't think the defenses
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: against the drones are going to be effective. Even if
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: ninety percent of the drones are destroyed and are intercepted
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: ninety five percent, there are still plenty of drones that
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: could take down facilities, oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, in
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: the Kuwait, in the Emirates, I think and Iran could
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: do that much.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Dam aren't they radio controlled or are there a GPS
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: system that they're programmed in shop there's no way.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: To at this point all you can do. All you
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: can do is intercept them. That's it. Yeah, you can't
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: knock them out at this point. There's no technology. You know,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: does have the technologies Ukraine. In the United States was
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: very reluctant to go to Ukraine and ask for Hell
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Now they're doing it big time. Yeah, I mean we're
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: looking at we're on the verge of hitting the world
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: economy very, very hard, and so I think both sides
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: are going to back down. But in the end, I
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: think Iran is more truthful, not completely truthful, more truthful.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: There might be some backchannel stuff going on, of which
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Iran is denying, and then you have President Trump saying
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: they're willing to come to the table. It's we're going
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: to find out what happens. We're late. Let's take a break,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: and this is KFI. Welcome back. We have a few minutes.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I was running late. In the next break and thank goodness,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: our commercials are once again referring to oily stools. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: missed that a lot. Okay, back we go, let's finish
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: up handle on the news, Amy Neil and me.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Chicken little maybe onto something. A meteorite apparently crashed into
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: a house in the huge area, tearing through the roof
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: and two stories of the home. The meteorite landed in
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: a kitchen. Apparently it was bigger than the fire chief's hand,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: NASA said the mediaor became visible about forty nine miles
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: above Stagecoach, which is northwest of Houston. It was going
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: thirty five thousand miles per hour, breaking apart twenty nine
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: miles above the earth, and then crashed into the house.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: Global Warming, Am I right? Wait? No, okay, never mind.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: So Saturday Night Live has gone across the pond to
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Saturday Night Live UK version, and boy were people in
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: the UK bashing this before it aired, saying it was
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: going to be a piece of dung. But it actually
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: did quite well.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Did great?
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, people, people enjoyed it and it seems like it
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: was largely pretty funny. Yeah, it's the same format much
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: like The Office.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: The British seriales from the United States exactly, so it
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: goes back and forth.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Well, we've stolen a lot more from them, I think
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: than they have from us. But good on them. Live
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: from London, it's Saturday Night.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Karen Bass leads the pack, but voters say that's not
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: saying much. A new poll released yesterday showed that Mayor
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Bass currently has twenty five percent support of voters. City
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: council woman Nitya Rahman is favored by seventeen percent, and
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: then Palisades Fire Survivor and reality TV shots start Spencer
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Pratt came in third with fourteen percent. In the poll,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: it's done by UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the LA Times. About a quarter of the voters say
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: they're still undecided, and fifty six percent of those polls
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: say they have a very unfavorable rating of current Mayor
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Karen Bess.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's probably gonna win it because a plurality wins,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats aren't gonna get much of a plurality,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: and the Republicans well, so she'll probably screwed.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: We keep doing the same stupid things over and over
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: and over again.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, here here's some news. Let's go with that one, Neil,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: because this is really interesting.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, we talk about climate change and
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: all those things, going on. We forget how many little
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: pieces of the puzzle there are. So forget those ground
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: hogs with weather predictions and all of that. You've got
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: beavers in the forefront right now, and that they are
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Actually that's pretty good.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: You cannot say the word beavers. You can't put a
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: straight face, can No, you can't because you're six years old. No,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you cannot. You can say beaver. You cannot be for
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: beaver or beaver beaver. Well that's five six and I'm
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: not going to gore you.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Were a little hard on the beaver last night, all right.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: So the research published on March eighteenth in the Journal
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: of Communication, Earth and Environment said that that beavers were
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: important to doing their part two combat climate change one
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: dam at a time, one damn dam at a time,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: and that for the first time calculating the carbon dioxide
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: admitted and western dute engineering work done by beavers in
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: the wetland areas and how they found that they are
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: very important. We are here, are beavers treated? We are exactly.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: We are running late, everybody, so we'll be back big
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: doings in the mid East. Oh, it's just another turn
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: as the world turns. They have beavers in the Middle East,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: very hot ones will be back. We're not gonna touch
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: that one either. Okay, kf I A M six.
