Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
- 0:05Speaker 1: six forty.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Handle here KFI AM six forty.
- 0:11Speaker 3: We're flipping through the highlight reel no or not, because
- 0:15Speaker 3: you don't flip through anything on radio, and they're the highlights.
- 0:19Speaker 3: I don't know, and there's no reels. It's all digitally
- 0:22Speaker 3: found in the bowels of KFI and pulling out some
- 0:25Speaker 3: of the worst moments of twenty twenty five. All right,
- 0:28Speaker 3: let me go to what's happening with the World Cup
- 0:31Speaker 3: in the La Olympics and how it.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Could be a little bit troubling here in the United States.
- 0:37Speaker 3: And let me explain there is a lot of concern
- 0:40Speaker 3: that the US is not ready to welcome the six
- 0:44Speaker 3: million visitors that will come into the United States for
- 0:48Speaker 3: the World Cup. You got fans, politicians, stakeholders, including FIFA,
- 0:54Speaker 3: which runs the World Cup. It The fear is that
- 0:58Speaker 3: are newly rigid immigration rules and long visa weights are
- 1:03Speaker 3: going to make it difficult for supporters, even players to
- 1:05Speaker 3: enter the US. It's going to be a massive program problem,
- 1:10Speaker 3: according to David Beer, associate director for Immigration Studies at
- 1:14Speaker 3: the Cato Institute, and he says there's no one paying
- 1:17Speaker 3: attention to this wait times for interviews for businesses and
- 1:24Speaker 3: tourists visas, and those wait times started building up during
- 1:29Speaker 3: the Biden administration, so this is not just the Trump administration.
- 1:34Speaker 3: They now top three hundred and thirty days at US
- 1:37Speaker 3: embassies and consulates. It's almost a year to get an
- 1:43Speaker 3: appointment to get a visa for countries that need visas,
- 1:48Speaker 3: and some of the longest waits are coming in India, Columbia, Peru, Honduras.
- 1:57Speaker 3: And since the World Cup tickets aren't expected to go
- 2:00Speaker 3: on sale until late this year, most fans coming into
- 2:06Speaker 3: the US for the Games will have less than six
- 2:09Speaker 3: months to secure the necessary paperwork. And can you imagine
- 2:12Speaker 3: the gridlock on that one. It's you know, I tell you,
- 2:20Speaker 3: we don't know what's going on. I don't know what's
- 2:22Speaker 3: going on. One of the things about this administration, which
- 2:25Speaker 3: I hate some of the time and I love some
- 2:28Speaker 3: of the time, is you just don't know what's coming tomorrow.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Athletes coming in they need documents too, and athletes from
- 2:43Speaker 3: different countries if those are visa countries, well they're gonna
- 2:49Speaker 3: have to stand in line.
- 2:50Speaker 2: With everybody else.
- 2:51Speaker 3: But wait a minute, isn't there aren't they giving preference
- 2:56Speaker 3: to athletes that are coming in.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Nope, the US is not.
- 3:02Speaker 3: And the US is preparing to host seven major global
- 3:06Speaker 3: sporting events in the next decade.
- 3:09Speaker 2: We've never had this done.
- 3:10Speaker 3: The world, including the World Cup and the twenty twenty
- 3:16Speaker 3: eight Olympics. Here in town, lots and lots of delays
- 3:22Speaker 3: because this has to do with the Trump's administration to
- 3:25Speaker 3: curtail immigration.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Now we're talking legal immigration here. These are visas. This
- 3:31Speaker 2: is not illegal immigration.
- 3:32Speaker 3: These are visas that are trying to be obtained by athletes.
- 3:38Speaker 3: This for example, World Cup, the Olympics, by sponsors, by
- 3:43Speaker 3: people involved, and wait times for just interviews for business
- 3:48Speaker 3: and tourist visas with consulates built up under the Biden administration.
- 3:53Speaker 3: These wait times started under the Biden administration three hundred
- 3:56Speaker 3: and thirty days now at eighteen US embassy around the Worldy,
- 4:03Speaker 3: I tell you.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It's a problem. I mean what happens and what they
- 4:07Speaker 2: would think the economic costs would be.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Sofi Stadium right is hosting eight World Cup Games. That's
- 4:14Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty thousand visitors, the largest in World
- 4:18Speaker 3: Cup history. Forty eight teams, one hundred and four matches
- 4:23Speaker 3: is going to draw twice as many as the previous one.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Seventy eight of those matches will be played in eleven
- 4:28Speaker 3: US cities, where everybody involved has to get a visa
- 4:32Speaker 3: if they come from visa countries.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Now here's the interesting one.
- 4:37Speaker 3: During his first term, when the US and Canada Mexico
- 4:41Speaker 3: were bidding to host the World Cup, Trump promised FIFA
- 4:46Speaker 3: that the World Cup organizations and the fans would not
- 4:49Speaker 3: face restrictions coming into the US for the tournament. Trump
- 4:53Speaker 3: said and wrote, all eligible athletes, officials, and fans from
- 4:56Speaker 3: all countries around the world will be able to enter
- 5:00Speaker 3: the US without discrimination. Well, there is discrimination, and certain countries,
- 5:08Speaker 3: you know what, they're never gonna make.
- 5:09Speaker 2: It because it's going to take too long to get
- 5:12Speaker 2: the visa.
- 5:13Speaker 3: By the way, if you want to get a visa,
- 5:14Speaker 3: if you're coming from a visa country, some you don't need.
- 5:17Speaker 2: England you don't need a visa. You've got most of Europe.
- 5:20Speaker 3: You don't need visas. But here's how you get the visa.
- 5:25Speaker 3: You first fill out a form DS one sixty. It
- 5:27Speaker 3: takes about ninety minutes to complete. Also documentation extensive documentation
- 5:33Speaker 3: about someone's personal lives, education, employment history, where are you
- 5:37Speaker 3: going to visit in the US, And it all has
- 5:39Speaker 3: to be done in English, which is a little difficult
- 5:43Speaker 3: for some people, and one hundred and eighty five dollars
- 5:47Speaker 3: non refundable fee, and it's just much more difficult.
- 5:51Speaker 2: It just happened to me.
- 5:53Speaker 3: I'm trying to get Polish citizenship because my dad was
- 5:56Speaker 3: actually born in Poland, because I want to be able
- 5:58Speaker 3: to go to the EU and when I retire, I
- 6:01Speaker 3: want to live there several months a year, and it's
- 6:04Speaker 3: Italy where I plan on doing that, and so I
- 6:08Speaker 3: want European I want a European passport.
- 6:12Speaker 2: So I applied one hundred dollars.
- 6:16Speaker 3: The administration shut down that website. I think they shut
- 6:21Speaker 3: it down for two days. They opened it up again,
- 6:25Speaker 3: and my one hundred dollar fee was five hundred dollars
- 6:30Speaker 3: close for a day, open next day, five hundred bucks
- 6:35Speaker 3: instead of one hundred dollars. It's a really interesting situation
- 6:40Speaker 3: going on. I'm gonna have so much fun with this,
- 6:41Speaker 3: as I said, man, for the next four years, this
- 6:44Speaker 3: is gonna be utterly delicious for anybody involved in news talk.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Anybody enjoy the ride. I sure as hell am going
- 6:51Speaker 3: to AFI am sixty bill Handle Here today we're doing
- 6:57Speaker 3: something a little different.
- 6:59Speaker 2: It's the best of the bill Handle Show.
- 7:01Speaker 3: No kidding, that's different, the best of the bill Handle Show.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Give me a break from twenty twenty five.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Okay lawsuit lawsuit against Idaho, Idaho and a few other.
- 7:16Speaker 2: States.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Well, the libraries have been clearing their shelves stories that
- 7:22Speaker 3: included kissing scenes, picture books featuring gay parents, you know,
- 7:27Speaker 3: like Debbie has six parents, six mommies, guides for tweens
- 7:31Speaker 3: on what to expect during puberty.
- 7:34Speaker 2: For example, have w anymore? And the law went into effect.
- 7:39Speaker 3: And what it does is invite challenges that the public
- 7:43Speaker 3: can against libraries that the public, any parent feels that
- 7:50Speaker 3: the library is put inappropriate sexual content. Two miners and
- 7:54Speaker 3: you can imagine the lawsuit publishers, authors, parents. It's the
- 8:00Speaker 3: latest innistering of legal challenges state rules about library books.
- 8:04Speaker 2: By the way, Flora and Iowa did the same thing.
- 8:06Speaker 2: It's a culture war.
- 8:08Speaker 3: What concepts, what material are kids exposed to or can
- 8:12Speaker 3: be so? Instruction about sex, gender, race, hot button issues
- 8:16Speaker 3: have been the subject of lawsuit because they have been banned.
- 8:20Speaker 2: It's basically banning of books. Now.
- 8:24Speaker 3: The reality is should kids be protected against pornography.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Of course they should, and who makes that decision?
- 8:33Speaker 3: And this law says that any parent who is uncomfortable
- 8:39Speaker 3: with the library can file suit against the librarian, against
- 8:43Speaker 3: the school, against the public library.
- 8:45Speaker 2: And it's not a question of any parent.
- 8:47Speaker 3: You know that conservative religious groups are going to fund
- 8:51Speaker 3: these kinds of lawsuits and frankly, you've got individual librarians
- 8:56Speaker 3: that are named as defendants.
- 8:57Speaker 2: How do they deal with it?
- 9:01Speaker 3: And H well, look and Idaho, for example, these are
- 9:04Speaker 3: books that have been banned Maya Angelou's I know why
- 9:08Speaker 3: the Cage Bird Sings. I mean that's a classic Kurt
- 9:12Speaker 3: Vonnegut Slaughterhouse five.
- 9:15Speaker 2: I read that. I mean, these are books that are
- 9:18Speaker 2: our classic books.
- 9:20Speaker 3: They're banned. Now I can understand. I took a book
- 9:23Speaker 3: out once U. It was Barnyard Love, And I get
- 9:26Speaker 3: that that can be a little bit offensive. That was
- 9:29Speaker 3: a pop up book, right.
- 9:32Speaker 2: See.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Uh, you know what's weird though about this, Like they're
- 9:36Speaker 4: banning books where there's like a family, But what about
- 9:43Speaker 4: going to school.
- 9:44Speaker 2: My son goes to school.
- 9:45Speaker 4: And uh plays with kids who have two fathers or
- 9:49Speaker 4: two mothers.
- 9:50Speaker 2: It's that's life.
- 9:52Speaker 3: But reality, But the value judgment is such that society
- 9:57Speaker 3: is now going in We're going back to to the
- 10:01Speaker 3: philosophy that somehow gay is perversion, that there is something
- 10:06Speaker 3: inherently morally wrong about being gay or being trans.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And that's the scary part.
- 10:13Speaker 3: I can't and we are moving backwards in a big,
- 10:15Speaker 3: big way.
- 10:16Speaker 2: On that one, I felt.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Like nobody cared and then the trans comes along, and
- 10:21Speaker 4: then if people get riled up here.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Well, one of the arguments, and one of the reasons
- 10:25Speaker 3: that that's being said about Trump winning, was that the
- 10:30Speaker 3: Democrats were so concerned about inclusive inclusivity they left out
- 10:35Speaker 3: the issues like inflation, the immigration issue, which people cared
- 10:41Speaker 3: a lot more about, and so it allows us to
- 10:45Speaker 3: it allowed it to blossom. And the Republicans said, no, no,
- 10:49Speaker 3: this is what people care about. We're becoming more conservative,
- 10:51Speaker 3: or at least the conservatives taking more control and co
- 10:55Speaker 3: opting a lot of stuff. And the only point that
- 10:57Speaker 3: I agree is kids have to be protected against pornography.
- 11:02Speaker 2: I get that, but who makes that.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Decision as to what's pornography, as to what's appropriate for kids?
- 11:09Speaker 3: And it's not a pornography, it's inappropriate material.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Is more like it pornography?
- 11:15Speaker 3: Is easy, but inappropriate material free on people mentioning, for example,
- 11:20Speaker 3: that Debbie has two moms putting that book in the library.
- 11:24Speaker 2: That's inappropriate.
- 11:25Speaker 3: And it's not saying that it's a great thing. It
- 11:28Speaker 3: just says it's a fact. As you said, the teachers
- 11:31Speaker 3: and the libraries aren't pushing that agenda. They're not saying
- 11:34Speaker 3: Debbie has two moms, therefore you should have two moms.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Yeah, one's descriptive, one's prescriptive. There's a difference.
- 11:41Speaker 3: So anyway, the lawsuits are flying and we'll see what happens.
- 11:44Speaker 3: And I hate the idea that a parent can bring
- 11:48Speaker 3: a lawsuit because of course it's going to be funded
- 11:51Speaker 3: one hundred percent.
- 11:52Speaker 2: We're in a different world and it's really very depressing.
- 11:55Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
- 11:59Speaker 1: six forty.
- 12:02Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty will Handle here today we take
- 12:05Speaker 3: you back.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Through the top.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Stories and well not the top sort of the medium
- 12:11Speaker 3: stories and moments of twenty twenty five. There is a
- 12:15Speaker 3: story out there that just grabbed me, as it did
- 12:19Speaker 3: with Ann also, and that is about a biotech company
- 12:22Speaker 3: called Colossal Biosciences, and it has brought back it has
- 12:27Speaker 3: claimed to have brought back the dire wolf. The dire
- 12:30Speaker 3: wolf went extinct ten thousand years ago, and Colossal says,
- 12:36Speaker 3: here it is.
- 12:37Speaker 2: We have two of these little cubs. Oh they're cutest pie.
- 12:39Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen the video. Other of
- 12:41Speaker 3: the cutest things a little white dire wolves. Anyway, it's
- 12:44Speaker 3: calling it the de extinction process. Interestingly enough, is it
- 12:49Speaker 3: genetic engineering? Is it cloning? Now I'm not an expert
- 12:52Speaker 3: in this stuff, the technical side of it, and there
- 12:55Speaker 3: seems to be a difference between what they did.
- 12:58Speaker 2: And actual cloning. Cloning is taking DNA.
- 13:02Speaker 3: From for example, they're working on the wooly mammoth, bringing
- 13:07Speaker 3: a wooly mammoth back. And if you ever saw Jurassic Park,
- 13:12Speaker 3: which of course everybody has, they took the DNA of
- 13:16Speaker 3: dinosaurs that the mosquitoes sucked up its blood and then
- 13:20Speaker 3: got encased in amber. But that was the actual DNA,
- 13:25Speaker 3: which can be preserved for certainly ten thousand years.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Isn't the problem. This is a little bit different.
- 13:30Speaker 3: This is using wolves that are in existence now, but
- 13:35Speaker 3: the closest thing to dire wolves doing some a little manipulation.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Don't know whether or not they've actually gotten DNA from
- 13:43Speaker 3: dire wolves either bones, certainly that would be it. I
- 13:48Speaker 3: think there's not a little bray of tar pits. I
- 13:51Speaker 3: have dire wolves in it, and they took it out
- 13:55Speaker 3: for the exhibit. I think dire wolves are part of it.
- 13:57Speaker 3: But anyway, these guys are long gone and they're saying,
- 14:02Speaker 3: here we go. We've brought back this puppy and it
- 14:05Speaker 3: went extinct ten thousand years ago. Now, BOYD, does that
- 14:09Speaker 3: open up all kinds of issues.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Does that mean that I guess you can bring back dinosaurs?
- 14:15Speaker 3: Probably not, because you know, there isn't much DNA left
- 14:18Speaker 3: the species that died forty million years ago. But if
- 14:24Speaker 3: this is real, and I'm not saying it's not real,
- 14:26Speaker 3: it's a question of is this genetically Is this a
- 14:30Speaker 3: dire wolf or is it kind of sort of looks
- 14:33Speaker 3: like a dire wolf and it is as close as
- 14:37Speaker 3: you can get without it being the real thing.
- 14:40Speaker 2: And there are detractors that say, no, it's close.
- 14:44Speaker 3: It looks like it, but it really isn't. On the
- 14:49Speaker 3: other hand, what Colossal is saying is it looks like it,
- 14:55Speaker 3: it talks like it, it walks like it.
- 15:00Speaker 2: It is much like a quacking duck.
- 15:04Speaker 3: And so the head of the team, the investigative team,
- 15:09Speaker 3: the scientific team that did this, extracted dire wolf DNA
- 15:14Speaker 3: from two existing fossils to sequence the animal's genome. Did
- 15:18Speaker 3: they use that DNA specifically? You know, I don't know
- 15:22Speaker 3: the science here, but there is a difference. They've taken
- 15:28Speaker 3: a gray wolf genome. A gray wolf is genetically ninety
- 15:33Speaker 3: nine point five percent identical to dire wolves, so the
- 15:36Speaker 3: two are really close. And they said they edited the
- 15:39Speaker 3: cells that multiple places to.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Sequence the dire wolf version of the DNA.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Again, I'm not an expert, and I'd love to have
- 15:48Speaker 3: someone who is in dire need of information. That's very funny,
- 15:53Speaker 3: who is in need of information to send me an
- 15:58Speaker 3: email and say, handle, you got it, or handle you
- 16:00Speaker 3: don't know what the hell you're talking about?
- 16:01Speaker 2: Probably the latter.
- 16:03Speaker 3: But this is such fascinating stuff because when I started
- 16:06Speaker 3: practicing in third brought party reproduction. One of the issues
- 16:10Speaker 3: and we're talking about I was teaching. I know it's
- 16:14Speaker 3: hard to believe, but I taught law school for four
- 16:16Speaker 3: years and reproductive law. One of the issues was genetic
- 16:20Speaker 3: engineering in terms of human reproduction and where this is
- 16:25Speaker 3: going to go. And the ethics involved in that. There's
- 16:28Speaker 3: nothing unethical about this bringing a dire wolf back. No
- 16:32Speaker 3: one's going to argue bringing a human being back as
- 16:35Speaker 3: a clone, or genetically engineering a human being is a
- 16:38Speaker 3: very different animal. And now it's time for some news
- 16:43Speaker 3: that's not recorded, because we're playing you a recording, but
- 16:46Speaker 3: we're pretending I'm still here, Bill handle here kfi am
- 16:50Speaker 3: six forty.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Today we are rewinding the clock. No, we're not.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Time continues on, and we're pulling out some of your
- 16:59Speaker 3: favorite mone mos, well, my favorite moments. I don't care
- 17:02Speaker 3: what your favorite moments are from twenty twenty five.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Okay, here's the story.
- 17:08Speaker 3: The US Mint in Philadelphia has stopped production of the penny.
- 17:14Speaker 2: The penny is no longer being.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Minted because the penny costs a whole lot more than
- 17:20Speaker 3: a penny to mint, so it's a net loss. The
- 17:25Speaker 3: nickel costs a whole lot more than a nickel to mint.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Now take a hundred dollars bill.
- 17:33Speaker 3: How much you think it costs to print one hundred
- 17:35Speaker 3: dollars bill?
- 17:37Speaker 2: Far far less than a penny.
- 17:40Speaker 3: In the point of currency, the currency should not cost
- 17:44Speaker 3: more than the value of the currency. Just makes no
- 17:46Speaker 3: sense when you think about it. So what is going on? Well,
- 17:50Speaker 3: the penny is gone and the nickel is on its way.
- 17:53Speaker 2: To be gone. However, there are some parts of this.
- 17:59Speaker 3: That we have to look at, and that is that
- 18:03Speaker 3: how many billions of pennies are out there? Maybe three
- 18:06Speaker 3: hundred is what they're saying, three hundred billion. And what
- 18:10Speaker 3: do you do with pennies? Does anybody carry pennies? Or
- 18:13Speaker 3: you throw pennies in a jar at home? I don't
- 18:16Speaker 3: take pennies with me in my pocket. So whatever I'm
- 18:19Speaker 3: paying seven dollars and thirty nine cents or seven dollars
- 18:23Speaker 3: and thirty six cents, I get four pennies back. I've
- 18:27Speaker 3: even had the joy of paying something ninety nine cents
- 18:33Speaker 3: and or sorry, seven dollars and one cent and getting
- 18:39Speaker 3: ninety nine cents worth a change. I go, come on, really, well,
- 18:43Speaker 3: that's the way we work.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I'm sorry. And then people were in line.
- 18:47Speaker 3: I'll even go down the street and I say, anybody
- 18:50Speaker 3: got a penny?
- 18:50Speaker 2: Does anybody have a penny that I can use?
- 18:54Speaker 3: The penny is a waste of time, It's that simple.
- 18:57Speaker 3: New Zealand and Australia. Australia eliminated the production of their
- 19:02Speaker 3: nickels at the beginning of this century, and that was
- 19:06Speaker 3: twenty years after they stopped making their pennies. The problem is,
- 19:12Speaker 3: according to David Smith, who's the professor of economics at Pepperdine, says,
- 19:18Speaker 3: there is enough nostalgia for the coins to slow any
- 19:22Speaker 3: move towards eliminating them.
- 19:23Speaker 2: We're talking about nickels now.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Eventually it'll happen, even if it takes what fifteen twenty years.
- 19:32Speaker 3: So eliminating pennies, does that mean pennies are no longer
- 19:35Speaker 3: going to be used.
- 19:36Speaker 2: No, they're still legal tender. They still can be used,
- 19:41Speaker 2: and some cry.
- 19:42Speaker 3: I got a call once on Handle on the Law
- 19:46Speaker 3: and some guy bought something that was a couple thousand
- 19:50Speaker 3: dollars and he walked in with pennies.
- 19:54Speaker 2: And the vendor said, get out of here. I'm not
- 19:58Speaker 2: going to take pennies.
- 20:00Speaker 3: And he called up in a huff, said, but it's
- 20:02Speaker 3: legal tender and he has.
- 20:04Speaker 2: To take it. And the answer is no, he doesn't
- 20:07Speaker 2: have to take it.
- 20:08Speaker 3: How many places do you know no longer take cash,
- 20:10Speaker 3: it's only credit cards. Get on an airplane now we
- 20:15Speaker 3: don't take money, we only take credit cards.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Same thing for parking structures. They take no money.
- 20:20Speaker 3: So in many cases the penny is legal tender, but
- 20:25Speaker 3: they don't have to take it. And I'm willing to
- 20:28Speaker 3: bet that there are going to be more and more
- 20:31Speaker 3: places that just refuse pennies. No, thank you, refuse nichols.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Now the issue is rounding up rounding down. Does the
- 20:40Speaker 3: law allow you to round up and round down arbitrarily?
