  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I am six forty bill Handle.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: It is a Tuesday morning, March the third coming up
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: at the bottom of the hour retro radio where actually
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: you call in like it used to be in the
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: old radio times, and I'll explain that that it's a
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: lot of fun and we end up talking to each
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: other and probably screaming. Also, if you haven't listened to
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: any of the segments, or you've missed some segments, please
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: tune in via podcast, which we podcast the show and
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: all the segments. For example, I talked about a little
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a fair amount about the attack it's going on the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: latest and that's started at seven o'clock the seventh through
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the seven twenty seven to thirty period. Okay, Now, when
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: we talk about America, we are the land of immigrants.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: That's I amm. Well, we're becoming the land of immigrants.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Em we're becoming a land of immigration. That means people leaving.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: So last year something happened that hasn't happened since the
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Great Depression. More people moved out of the US than
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: moved in. Now the Trump administration is saying that's the
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: best thing going that's better than slice spread.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Why is that because this.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Is fulfillment of the promise to ramp up deportation and
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: restrict new visas. And we are better off with fewer
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: people because look at the people that are coming in.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: We don't want these people. We want Norwegians. He actually
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: said that Norwegians because so I don't know. Maybe they're
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: white and they speak English. Hey, that's just me, just
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: me thinking it through. Okay, just me guessing that's the case.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: American citizens are leaving their own record numbers. Forget about
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the Norwegians, and what Americans are doing is moving them
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and their families to countries they find more affordable and safer.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And so where's the data, Well, there's data from fifty countries.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Residents permits, foreign home purchases, student enrollments. Metrics from those
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: fifty countries show that Americans are voting with their feet
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: and moving out of the country. So the American dream
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: is not here. American dream is overseas. For many people.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: You go to Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal, more Americans are snapping
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: up apartments that new arrivals complain they mostly hear their
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: own language, they hear English, not Portuguese. One out of
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: every fifteen resident in Dublin, they have a grand canal
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: dock area, pretty trendy of it. Out of every fifteen
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: born in the United States, more than one hundred thousand
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: young students enrolled abroad for more affordable university degree. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: happen to know one of those students that is moving
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: overseas and she has applied to a university in Abertay,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the University of Abertay in Dundee, Scotland. This is my daughter, Barbara,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: who is applying for and will be accepted to the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: University of Abertay in Dundee.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Where is Dundee.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Dundee is in the northern part of Scotland where the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: weather during the winter is just delightful. So you're a
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: choice to either go to, for example, the French Riviera,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: maybe Cancun, maybe anywhere on the Yucatan peninsula, or you
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: can go to Dundee, Scotland in the middle of winter
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: where the average well, let me put it this way,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: they don't run their freezers in the winter. They just
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: put the meat outside the door. Saves them a lot
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of money. But isn't there a boy out there? She
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: likes there's that too. Yeah, there's that too. She's not
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: following the boy, She's following the university. She actually is
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: going to school because she found the majors that she wants.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: She's a criminal justice major. They happen to have at
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the University of Abertay, one of the best programs in
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: criminal justice in the UK. And a huge number of
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: students about fifteen percent are American. That's a lot of
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: foreign students. And why Well, it certainly isn't because of
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the tuition, because foreign students pay a bucket of money.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: So the other thing are the politics of all of
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: this one of the reasons that these people have And
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: by the way, this is survey from countries.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: This is not just me extrapolating.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Is these commentators who have looked at this the surveys
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: have labeled this wave, particular wave of American immigrants leaving
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the country.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The Donald Dash. And why is that?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Well, numbers have certainly spiked under President Trump's second term,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: but the phenomena has been building for years. We do
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: not know exactly how many people are leaving before because
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: of the president being the president. I know of people
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: who are planning to leave in my immediate circle of friends. Well,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I don't have any friends, and Lindsay's immediate circle of friends,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: there are several who heretofore would not have left.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: They're bailing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And Lindsay herself is so upset about what's going on
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: that when I start watching the news and the word
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: down shows up, she's out the door. She's in another room.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: That's how fundamentally she thinks about what's going on. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: so why are people moving? For moving and have been
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: for years? Well, remote work has helped mounting living costs,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: has cost a fortune to live here, particularly in southern California,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: an appetite for foreign lifestyles, and we are talking about
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: moving to Italy, as you know, when I retire, as
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact, early next year. Guess who's jumping
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: on an airplane and going to Italy to find out
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: how it works and spending a couple of months. None
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: other than Lindsay. And I'm going to be all by
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: myself with the dogs. That's going to be fine. In
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the meantime, the Trump administration is deporting hundreds of thousands
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: of illegal immigrants.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: We know that, So that is part of the exodus.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to quote now from the president, we
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: are attracting countless ultra high net worth foreigners. Countless. There
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: are so many, we can't even count them. And they're
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: shelling out one million dollars for a Trump Gold card,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: a Trump card to come and settle the United States.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Do we know the number of Trump Gold cards that
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: have been sold? I don't, but number's probably out there.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And so in twenty twenty five, the loss of one
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand people, and it looks like that
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: number is going to increase in twenty twenty six. According
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to Brookings Institute, a think tank that is pretty well
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: known for its thinking in the tank because think tanks
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: think in tanks, which is why the sale of tanks
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: to think tanks are very high.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Not just a little aside I.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Would in the US saw six hundred and sixty seventy
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: five deportations, six hundred and seventy five deportations, two point
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: two million self deportations last year according to Homeland Security,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: and we don't know how many live how many people
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: live outside of the United States. How many Americans currently
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: are living outside the US estimated four to nine million.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: The State Department estimates one point six million just in Mexico,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and this was twenty twenty two when the last numbers
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: were available, and they're saying that that number has grown
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: substantially since twenty twenty two, and in nearly all of
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the European Union, they're twenty seven member states. The number
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: of Americans all of the twenty seven European Union states,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the number of Americans arriving to live and work is
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: at a record high and rising. The total living in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Portugal has jumped five hundred percent since the COVID pandemic.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: But Lisbon used to be a very cheap, great place
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: to live. And one of the benefits of the huge
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: number of Americans that are moving is you really don't
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: even have to speak the language. I mean, that's been
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the case in Mexico for years and years. There are Mexicans,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: there are American communities a fifty thousand people, and you
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: could literally live in these communities not speaking a word
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: of Spanish and get everything you need. And that is
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: quickly becoming the case in countries around the world. Well,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: in the past ten years, the number of Americans doubled
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: in Spain, doubled in the Netherlands, more than doubled in the.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Czech Czech Republic.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Last year more Americans moved to Germany than Germans moved
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: to America. Same is true in Ireland and the US government,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: and this one is kind of surprising, has a month's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: long backlog of Americans asking to renown, renounce their citizenship,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: either to get a foreign passport or to avoid taxation.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: You can avoid You can avoid American taxation by simply
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: denounce that your American citizenship. If you are still an
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: American citizen. The federal government, the IRS, does not care.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Where you live.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: You can literally live at the North Pole and if
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: you're earning money, you are paying US taxes if you
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: are a US citizen. If you are not and you
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: live overseas, you're not paying US taxes, even if you
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: live in the United States. But it has to be
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: for a certain number of months. You can't go over
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: a certain number of months, and a lot of people are.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Doing that now.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Some countries demand that citizenship be renowned renounced.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: The United States was that way.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: My parents gave up their Brazilian citizenship because American law
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: for them to become American citizens at that time, they
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: had to renounce all other citizenships.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I did not have to.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: So I am an American citizen as well as a
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Brazilian citizen because I became an American as a result
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: of being a minor. The other thing is America used
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: to have a law that says, if you serve in
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a foreign country, a foreign army, you lose your citizenship.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: The problem was, for example, at the beginning of World
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: War Two, the Italian boys who lived in New York
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: forget about it, would go visit family and this was
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: prior to the war and would be drafted into the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Italian Army and lose their citizenship. When I was eighteen
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: and I went to Brazil for a visit, I walked
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: through a passport control and they said, congratulations, you are
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: now a member of the Brazilian Army. I said, what
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the hell are you talking about the Brazilian army. Yep,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: you were born in Brazil. You are a Brazilian citizen.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: You're eighteen years old, and we have conscription Ola, except
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: they don't say ola, bongia nice, have a good day,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: And so I got out of it. They were very
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: very they were understanding, they understood my position, and I
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: bribed them. Thank god. It was so corrupt. One hundred
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: dollars that I got out of it. That's how desperate
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: they were. And then my family was so angry with
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: me because they said I could have done it for
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: fifty dollars, where it just would have been a waiver
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: at the border.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: All right, and now it is time for retro radio.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Retro radio where you call in eight hundred five two
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: zero one five three four and it goes.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: We harken back to the days when.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: The show was all about you calling in and the
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: history of it starting the sixties. I remember when I
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: started listening to talk radio early mid sixties, the question
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: was always should we get out of Vietnam? And then
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: occasionally it would be open lines, where you can talk
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: about anything you want and we conversed, and people actually
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: used to listen to that for some crazy ass reason.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: So I want to go back and visit those days,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna do that right now, retro radio open
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: lines eight hundred five two zero one five three four
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: eight hundred five two zero one five three four, and
• 13:16

• 13:19
  Speaker 3: you're incredibly stupid, yes, please call in. If you are
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: in a straight jacket and you have to, I don't
• 13:26

• 18:16
  Speaker 3: This will go on for several minutes until a phone
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: call comes in.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the movie Mars Attacks.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: This is listening to this for more than five minutes,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: your head actually explodes, and strangely enough, the phone calls
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: do come in because people can't stand this. You can
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: listen to the Saturday Show on podcasts if you don't
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: tune in to the Legal show.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Do Doo Do Do? Okay, we do have phone calls up. Chris. Hello, Chris,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Welcome to retro Radio. What can I do for you?
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: Bio?
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: Do you think they attacked Iran? The United States in
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: Israel to Benjamin Analu? When Trump can remain in power?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I think not only can they? Yes? Yeah, no, I understand.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Oh Trump we're going for a third term? Yeah.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: First of all, not only do I think that Netta
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Yahoo and our president are in bed together. I think
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: they do strange things in bed together, and that is
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: going to come out in the news. And a third term,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: my friend, unless the Constitution changes, it ain't gonna happen.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: So the answer is no, no.
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: But I think he's going to remain in office how
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: and they're going to not have APU due to war.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Never happened, never happened in the history of that Ied States.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: But a lot never happened. Okay, that's your opinion, and
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: it's a dumb one. I'll grant you. But that's okay. Okay,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: who's up next?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Patrick? Hello? Patrick, Retro Radio.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, how's it going. So? I think, well, I'm
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: pretty against us going to war with Iran. I think
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the US has a terrible track record of military intervention,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: especially as it relates the regime change. The US itself
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: is responsible for the current political situation in Iran. We're
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the ones who tried to put in a puplic government
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that would be favorable to the oil companies and it backfired.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Well, that was a long long time ago when that
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: happened in Iran specifically. But yeah, that was with the
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Shaw and that was the fifties maybe, and then the
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: overthrow was the Iranian people themselves in nineteen seventy nine
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: with who many coming in. But okay, you think we
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: should not go into Iran?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Correct?
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I mean I think the echoes of that, you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: are kind of right.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, fair enough, Okay, we're done. Who's up next? Morris? Hello, Morris, welcome.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: I believe America is doing the right thing. Iran is
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: a nuclear of cancer. When you develop plutonium and uranium
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: to make a nuclear bomb is like giving a gun
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: to a crazy individual. He goes down the street shooting.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me do the other side. I got it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: No, I understand. You know you made your point. Now
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: let me throw it back at you. Iran isn't just
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: developing or enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: It's for peaceful purposes.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: It's for our research, it's for energy, even though they're
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: sitting on one of the biggest swamps and lakes of
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: oil anywhere in the world. So that's a point. By
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: the way, I agree with you. I think their development
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: of the uranium and their ballistic missile program and the
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: fact they hate us and his death to the Satans,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: death to America constantly since nineteen seventy nine. Yeah, Okay,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: you and I are on the same page. Okay, next caller, Mark, Yes, sir.
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: Hey Bill, I'd like to know all these people have
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: been calling saying I support Israel and I support Iran.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: Are they willing to take their sons and daughters to
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: their recruitment center and sign them up to go fight
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: in the war.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Of course not, But then again, it's boots on the ground.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: And the trick is, do you think that attacking Iran,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: and this is a you globally attacking Iran is in
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: fact a defending of American interests and you're fighting for
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: your country. And if the United States the government can
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: somehow convince the America that that Iran is a threat
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: to our security and what we're doing is protecting our borders.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Then the answer will.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Be yes as of right now. No, it's a good call,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: by the way, good question. Okay, we're done, guys, Now

• 23:08
  Speaker 3: have enormous amount of patience. That's my middle name, by
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: the way, patience.
• 23:14
