Handel on the news!

It's the news!

It's the news!

And now, Handel on the news.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handel.

All right, good morning.

My name is Mark Knife.

I handle here.

Obviously, Amy is there.

Just another Monday.

We're only watching the world literally fall apart.

The world prices are exploding.

Oh, he's up.

He's up to tell people how great things are.

So that's fun for me.

All right.

We start today.

There's lots covered today as you can imagine.

It was going on geopolitically.

First of all, let me start with Will.

Good morning, Will.

Bill Handel.

Yes, yes, that's correct.

That is my name.

Excellent.

Good day.

And there is Amy.

Amy, was you heard from?

Hi, Bill.

We're starting the Amy King Hour.

And then there is Neil and Anne.

Buddy.

Hey, hey.

Oh, I have a question.

I was going to go to the Gary and Shannon thing in Anaheim.

And I just completely forgot.

You missed a good party.

I missed it.

I bet you they were thrilled you forgot.

I'll bet you they did, because I told them I was showing up.

And I would have, but I just forgot.

I forgot what I was doing on Saturday.

And you need posted notes for the fridge.

I do.

You know that?

I should have posted notes.

And I have my calendar on my phone that I never look at.

And I have to start doing that.

That's so crazy.

So, yeah.

That's a shame.

It was a good party.

I heard it was a good party.

Yeah.

Oh, it looked fantastic.

I didn't get a chance to go either.

I was with the family on Saturday.

Oh, I'd much rather go than be with the family.

But I just plain old just forgot.

Yeah.

Oh, you know what?

Last night, I'm going to do this later on too.

At 730, I was watching the Paralympics, the opening ceremony in Verona,

where Lindsay and I got married in Verona.

And every time they pan to the arena, to the main square,

she would go, oh, yeah.

And the ice cream shop is right behind there.

And I mean, she knows every inch of that place,

because that's where we're going to end up living.

And so, we're watching the opening ceremony,

which were pretty terrific.

The arena was half empty for opening ceremonies.

It literally was half empty.

Did people know you got married there?

Yeah, that's probably yet.

But it was, that was so depressing.

It really was.

And they're dancing at the beginning.

It was a very impressive opening ceremony.

It was kind of neat.

And some people in wheelchairs were doing the thing.

And it was obviously appropriate.

And it was just horrible to see.

And especially Lindsay, you know, Lindsay is basically half a game per self.

She suffers from a game bite us.

And she is in a wheelchair some of the time.

She has CRPS.

So she can walk short distances.

She has a tough, she has a tough time.

I know.

So I go, this is amazing.

So I go from one wife who is gimpie.

And I go to a gimpier person.

Yeah, my shrink says there's something there, Bill.

In any case, watching the Olympics,

I'm going to repeat this later on.

There were, there were a couple of events that were just, wow, really.

There is blind downhill skiing.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Wow.

Blind downhill skiing.

How do you do that?

Where there is a guide that skis in front of the, in front of the blind skier.

And they're on a headset.

And you, and it tells the skier, turn left, turn right.

There's a mogul coming up.

Wow.

And they're hauling ass down the hill.

Yeah, I mean, that's, you know, that's not a slow john.

They are moving in this, the downhill going through the flags and do,

it's, it was nothing short of incredible to watch these people do what they do.

And I mean, this is a, you know, it, the pair, uh, the, uh,

paranormal or, uh, para Olympic or, uh, paranormal Olympics.

It's just skis with nobody on them.

Uh, yeah, skis.

It actually skis, uh, three inches above, uh, the slope.

As they go right down, levitates, in any case, the, uh,

Paralympics are extraordinary in many ways, far more so than regular Olympics,

because there is also a, um, a handicap factor in there, uh,

where, uh, the, the level of disability is also included into the

time and, uh, the, and the scoring, uh, and it's really complicated.

But it's fascinating stuff.

And the other thing that was heartbreaking also, I mean, we walked away.

Lindsey was really depressed, uh, walking away.

Not only was the stadium half empty watching, uh, oh, I'm sorry.

Uh, we have to, half empty is when you're, uh, you're a pessimist.

It was half full.

And therefore you can be an optimist.

There you go, buddy.

Uh, there you are.

Hey, is there ever, I'm just a side, side quest here.

Is there any joy in your home?

No, all you talk about is how depressed you are in your home.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Just checking.

There is no joy.

Wow.

The only joy that I have is that there is no joy.

Uh, that is joy in my life.

Anytime someone says money is going to make their life better, I say handle.

Yes.

That's true.

You know what?

Here, and here's the, uh, here's the other statement.

I love it.

Money can't buy you happiness.

Yes, it can.

I just, uh, or you can at least rent it if that you can't buy it.

In any case, uh, the other thing that was pretty depressing was, uh, as these

skiers were going down the hill, watching this extraordinary, uh, physical abilities

of blind skiers and one-legged skiers.

And I mean, just incredible what they can do.

Uh, there was no commentary.

There was no commentary.

They just were skiing down the hill.

There were no experts commenting on it.

There was no play by play.

What are they going to go?

What is the city?

It blind?

Look at that.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Who's going to want that job?

Budget cuts at NBC, right?

Yeah.

Uh, yeah.

It was peacock.

Who wants to want that job?

Well, former, uh, Paralympic athlete.

So who have been in that sport?

Like are you during regular Olympics in a play?

Well, actually, they, they're, uh, part of that community as well.

They had.

Yeah.

I mean, it's just, yeah.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

Unanchored coverage when you're watching just the live stuff.

Sometimes they do that and thinking back to other Olympics where I'm like, one, where,

where are the people?

And it's just during the regular competition.

Maybe not the high.

Well, this is the major stuff.

This was the major stuff they didn't even, we're talking, they didn't have, uh, the microphone,

uh, live as to, uh, the television audience of the skier, the guide skier going down the hill

and saying, turn left, turn right.

I mean, you couldn't even hear that.

Uh, it was, it was pitiful.

It really was.

Are we talking more about that?

Sure.

Yeah, that is horrible.

I was talking more about that later on because, I mean, this, uh, Paralympics is, uh, man,

there's nothing, uh, quote, special in the sense of like special Olympics, uh, which

are people that really are developmentally disabled, uh, these, uh, the Paralympic athletes

are just world class athletes.

That's all with one leg, one arm or no arms, no legs.

Those guys go down the sleds.

Okay.

Seriously?

Yeah, the torso races.

Okay.

Let's jump right into handle on the news, uh, with Amy Neal and me.

Why?

Please, sorry.

Uh, we have a new, uh, Grand Puba in Iran, uh, a Grand Vizier and that's a Mochita

Bahamenei.

And he is a, he was expected to, uh, be the new, um, Iran slain, uh, uh, Iran's Supreme

Leader following his dad's slain, uh, position where his dad is now the dead, uh, former, uh,

Supreme Leader.

And so, uh, the second that it was announced that he is the new guy, uh, Israel said we're

going after him.

Boom.

And we'll see how long he lasts.

And this is important because it's not just the sun and, uh, it's diagnostic, uh, which

that, that's a whole conversation.

But this shows that it's hardliners are going to stay there because he is a hard liner.

There was talk of someone being a little bit more moderate, although moderate in clerical

in, in the clerical world in Iran, we wouldn't call moderate, but relative to the hardliners.

So it looks like, uh, Iran's going to go down fighting, uh, certainly with a revolutionary

guard and the Iranian army and, uh, and the, the pounding continues on.

Was it the US?

Iran says it was.

And so does the times.

So our video has been uploaded by Iran's semi official mayor news agency.

And then the New York Times says it has verified it showing a Tomahawk cruise missile striking

a naval base beside a school in the town of Minab back on February 28th, the US military

is the only force that uses Tomahawk missiles.

This is the school where 175 people, many of them children were reportedly killed.

The base that was being fired on is operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Yeah, the, I don't understand this.

Well, I guess I do understand this, but the Defense Department in the present saying,

no, that wasn't us.

That wasn't us with all the evidence.

At this point, it's points to the fact that it was, uh, you would think that instead of

denying and being shown as liars, simply saying, yeah, we did it.

It was a mistake.

Uh, it was, uh, it was mistargeted or there was something wrong with a guidance system.

And we, uh, poor loss of innocent life and, uh, apologies, apologies.

I think that would have worked a lot better.

But, and why not say because it, the, what it's showing is that the base was hit

beside the school, right?

And the damage then is what killed the, that's why I think it was a drag, I think it was

a drag hit.

Well, this story is saying it wasn't.

It's saying it, it hit the base beside the school.

Well, in any case, uh, if that's the case, then, then they're free and clear.

Uh, all they have to do is explain it.

And they did why, why is there a school built next to a military, right?

Yeah, that's a very good question.

Yeah.

Why would they do that?

Uh, because they didn't have to.

There's lots of land out there, unlike Gaza, where you sort of have to build, uh, your

military and your civilian all in one place, cause there's no room.

And it's, all right.

Yeah, it's a shame that that happened.

A real shame, but there's, uh, you know, the problem is the administration can't be

wrong.

It can never make a mistake ever.

I know.

You know, whatever is, uh, soldier did committed some horrific act and he's probably demoted.

Uh, so they don't, uh, Israel does pretty horrible things, but at least doesn't know how it

happens.

All right.

So with everything else, uh, oil prices are going off.

This has been expected, of course, but they are rising above 110 dollars a barrel.

Do you remember when it hit 100 dollars a barrel?

What's that?

Yeah, you know, it's, it's very tough.

It really is.

So it's right at 100 right now.

Yeah, it came back down a little bit to 100 because of, uh, the, uh, Trump administration.

Saying, oh, it's, uh, we're going to open up the straight, uh, or moves, uh, pretty

quickly, which I don't think is going to happen.

But, uh, 100 dollars a barrel.

I mean, that's, what was it?

It's gone up like 30% in two weeks, week and a half.

It has, it's about 50% more expensive than it was before the United States and Israel

began 50 cents, not 50%.

Oh, why does it say 50% on the story in New York Times?

Oh, oil is now 50% more expensive.

No, that's not correct.

That is not correct because the prices were like 70, 75.

They're saying it's up about 20%, but 50 cents a gallon.

Yeah.

And it's probably going to go higher than that as this thing moves on because the straight

over moves is just shut down completely.

And, uh, there are refineries being taken out certainly in a run where Israel and the

United States are now moving towards refineries, which is, you know, I thought that would be

the last, uh, that, uh, would be attacked because after, uh, let's say the revolutionary

guard, the mullahs, uh, are, are done, are gone, uh, you're on still, it's still going

to need to sell oil and with the refineries, you can't do that.

And so, and refineries, uh, I think it saw a Arabia refinery was hit, uh, you know,

mon refineries were hit and that is a lifeblood, uh, there.

So it's, it's going to be a while to say the least, uh, speaking of getting the oil

moving again, the US energy secretary says it might not be long before a lot of tankers

stranded in the Persian Gulf start taking their oil out to the world again.

That's according to Chris Wright, the energy secretary, uh, nearly all the ship operators

have stopped tankers from going through the straight hover moves because Iran is threatening

to attack them.

Yeah, now the question is, uh, how do you define it might not be take, it might not take

long, uh, probably weeks instead of months, uh, yeah, okay, that, that helps, uh, stock market,

by the way, it opens in five minutes.

Uh, I think the futures are down with over 500 points already on the down.

Not going to be another fun day.

All right, Neil, uh, yes.

So along with everything else going on, I was listening to Amy this morning, uh, talking

about that, uh, there's a seventh US service member killed during Operation Epic Fury.

So it's been confirmed.

Another US service member has died in the Iranian attack.

Yeah, that we always say, uh, service member, we don't know who it was, but the service

member was a killed in that initial attack survived and then died of injuries.

And you're a question when I was watching this and looking at the news, they're calling

it a dignified transfer of the remains.

And I've never heard that before as in what it was undignified before it was the president

Ed Dover, uh, Air Force base, uh, that receives the body on behalf of the American people.

So we receive the remains, the remains are brought to the United States.

When did it become a dignified transfer?

I mean, that is just weird.

I did that.

I just found that strange.

That's all, uh, because it was, uh, okay, does that mean it wasn't before?

Just a weird choice of words.

Uh, I just noticed that.

Not that it has anything to do with anything, but I mean, I noticed that.

Okay.

Let's do one more before, uh, you know, people realize that I go off on tangents that make

absolutely no sense, uh, bombing it bomb donnies.

Oh, uh,

see a quick five times.

Yeah, right.

Uh, I E D's ignited outside mayor, Zoran mom Donnie's residence.

It's called Gracie, uh, man, or where he lives in New York City.

Uh, there were dueling protests and, uh, apparently they got out of control and someone

lit something.

Nobody was hurt.

And then now they're investigating because apparently two explosives were found

impossibly a third.

Thanks straightening that out because I thought originally the story was IUDs, uh, that

were, uh, loaded with explosives, uh, uh, that's, that's where liberalism is gone.

They're actually, they have grenades that just shoot IUDs into women.

Uh, I up pretty much there will be no babies on my watch.

So this was, I mean, this was the real thing.

I mean, this was a fragmentation device that was going to do a lot, a lot of, uh, damage.

All right.

I've been in a lot of nutty situations, but I never want to have to be on a plane yelling

out heads down, hands up repeatedly.

And that's what took place on a Southwest passenger plane.

So they had to make a detour this happened this weekend and ended up with cops rushing

onto the plane with their guns out.

So the video I saw was intense.

Um, you have people with their head down, all the, the passengers heads,

down behind the chair, the seats with their hands up and this went down Friday

after a flight leaving Nashville for Fort Lauderdale had been diverted to Atlanta.

Apparently there was some sort of, uh, concern, security concern.

So you have multiple officers rushing down.

You obviously the tight space of the middle aisle there, full tactical gear helmets

and all head down this aisle toward the back of the plane before wrenching this guy

out of his seat and putting cuffs on him and, uh, apparently nothing came of this

that we know of.

No, no, it was nothing.

He turns out that they were playing Simon says heads down, hands up, hands.

You didn't have to do it, though, because Simon didn't say, uh, well,

the, the, the, the one that started with Simon said it started with Simon says,

duck, duck grass.

No, it's goose, spell it's goose.

Okay.

Terror's on the table.

Police in Norway say an explosion at the US embassy in the capital city of Oslo

overnight may have been an active terror, but they're saying that they're also

investigating other possible motives.

The explosion at the embassy compound, uh, happened at 1 a.m.

local time sending thick smoke into the street by the entrance of the consular

section known was heard.

And there is some minor damage, but they say, uh, could be terrorism given what's

going on in the world might not be.

Yeah, how could it not be?

I'm just curious.

What are the chances of it not being terrorism, uh, based on the, it's the US

embassy, uh, although Oslo, you know, it's, uh, it's Norway.

Although Norway has had it shared.

Do you remember that, uh, uh, that boys at, uh, camp, uh, that, uh, were 76 kids

or something were killed?

Uh, what?

Yeah, I remember that.

Yeah, it was a few years ago.

Yeah, a few years back.

It was a camp labor union camp for the kids kind of thing.

And, uh, I came in there.

Young man came in and just started shooting the place up and 76 kids died.

That's horrific.

Yeah.

And he got life imprisonment.

He's still in prison.

I'm assuming.

Well, speaking of children, you know, I don't know how to be able to tell

at sight if someone is a horrible offender, an illegal immigrant, but I'm going to

guess it's not the death six year old kid.

That's going to be, that's what I'm going to yield to.

So you've got California officials now calling for the return of a deaf, six year

old student and his family after they were detained by a US immigration and customs

enforcement agents this week, deported to Columbia, state leaders calling for

Trump administration to bring him and his family home.

Apparently there's some medicine involved to some life saving medicine, the boy needs.

But, um, they're saying the six year old boy, uh, attends this California school

for the deaf in Fremont, but he was homesick this week.

And he was detained and deported without the medical devices without

the process.

Yeah, I'm assuming that was with his mother.

Uh, she, I mean, they, they just pick up a six year old and send him on his way by

himself.

Uh, but I know we have problems and we need to find out we, we need to protect borders

and all of that, but just the ham hand did kind of, it, it, how do you expect to have

any support from the community?

Well, that is exactly the point that's just made by these stories.

Have you noticed that ice is pulling way, way back on enforcement, uh, you're going

to see fewer and fewer of these, uh, that is, they're just not doing what they did.

And look at the partations.

It started, it was a strong point for Donald Trump, uh, when he was elected, running on

deporting illegal aliens and criminals, et cetera.

And now it has become one of his weakest points.

Now it is a liability for him.

And so I'm surprised.

It's even happened this week.

Well, you've got every president, uh, uh, before him, probably doing 10 times the deportations

and not getting people, not doing this, not doing exactly that's my point.

That's my point.

That's why they never called attention to it, like hearing about Obama being the deporter

and chief, whatever he deported, like three million people, he did it with some, it,

we never heard about it.

No, we didn't.

And then the question is when he did deport them, uh, were they in the middle of a asylum

hearings, uh, had they been given visas or visas, yanked, uh, I think it is.

I think it's a different way of doing it.

And certainly ice, uh, agents coming to, uh, to the courthouse and going to, uh, the

home depots and picking people up off, uh, the sidewalks.

I don't think so.

And I get that there's, there's arguments for the so-called, uh, sanctuary cities not

helping them get.

Allowing them into the prisons to get the really bad people.

So they're just blanketing, but still, yeah.

And then you had, uh, you know, the policy of ice, uh, because the kid, uh, was beyond

the cutoff, uh, line of five years of age, where they don't deport him.

Once you hit beyond five, they, okay, all right, uh, deal allows state farm to keep rate

hike.

And, uh, this is without scrutiny over what they refer to as firestorm payouts.

So state farm has reached a deal with regulators to maintain 17% average homeowner rate

hikes that took effect after the, uh, devastating, uh, like Los Angeles, what I, they call wildfires.

I call them wild failures.

Oh, I'm very clever as hell, right?

Yeah, very good.

And, you know, as a pissed off as we are about homeowners insurance, when you get a hit

like that, those fires, uh, that caused what 80 billion dollars or whatever worth of damage,

uh, it's pretty crazy stuff.

So, uh, you know, it's, life is going to get more expensive gasoline, a little bit more

insurance, just a little bit more, right?

Wait, insurance.

Just a little bit.

Yeah.

17%.

Yeah.

That's me being, uh, you know, you're being, you're being sarcastic.

Yeah.

Oh, I know that.

Wait a second.

Isn't insurance socialism seems to be, doesn't it?

That's good.

Yeah, it is.

It is.

And it breaks down that quickly, one actual claim, uh, no, it's not, it's several hundred

actual claims for, uh, millions of people, uh, yes, because there aren't that many millions.

We should do that.

We could.

Yes.

We should.

All right.

Trump.

Jesus.

The Trump administration, uh, is working on some sort of economic deal with Cuba.

Man.

You know, so you have Barack Obama lifting some of the rules dealing, uh, you know, in

final years of his presidency with Cuba, Trump reverses that.

Now Trump may be is finding the sweet spot of saying, okay, we'll open up, um, some ability

for people to travel to Havana, but yeah, here's the deal.

We need something in, uh, exchange and that will be oil and shipments and the like.

So well, think about this for a moment, uh, that, uh, you know, one person, one man, uh,

wreaking havoc around the world, but look what he has been able to accomplish if you're

a big fan.

Venezuela, for example, has now effectively become an ally.

They were an enemy and, uh, they produce a tremendous amount of oil or will.

And he did, he got exactly what he wanted.

Yeah.

So when you think about that, you effective wise, it's, it works.

It's working.

Yeah.

It's working.

It's undeniable.

Yep.

And, uh, and what's going to happen in Iran, I mean, with all of the complete wreckage

that's going to go on, uh, in the end, I think you're going to see their nuclear program,

uh, dismantled, uh, their ballistic missile program dismantled and, uh, they may even

join, uh, the, uh, the world community, uh, because, uh, the hierarchy, I mean, the,

the mule, uh, the supreme leader, I don't know how long he's going to last with Israel

going after him.

All right.

Let's see, uh, one more and then we have to get to, uh, the penis story.

Not her fact.

Why don't we do this?

Let's get to the penis story.

You're going to pass up.

Yeah.

Well, especially Jackson, yeah, his son said, uh, that, uh, the president's didn't really

didn't know it.

No, but in Barack Obama, Joe Biden, although they spoke for hours, gave political speeches

during the memorial service for Jesse Jackson, okay, Neil, uh, Biden, Neil, yes, yes.

Sorry.

Get your penis, get your penis, uh, six years old.

No, it's too funny.

Come on.

We have to do these stories.

Come on.

It's not funny.

It's horrible.

A man died by cutting off his own penis.

That's funny.

I'm sorry.

You're just happy because if you cut off yours, you could live for days and days and days

and days.

Oh, thank you so much.

I bled out.

Yeah.

Well, hold on a minute.

It's, it's a little controversial.

Why?

Because they say he cut off his own penis, yet they filmed, there's a video of a very distraught

and loyal on that three corner.

Gosh.

What is AI taking my job?

No.

This is a man who died.

Legendally, he was mutilating himself.

There were photographers there, actually.

This is at FIG and Pico Boulevard.

I know the area.

Well, um, it's across from the LA Convention Center there, of course, uh, 340 in the AM.

He was cutting himself, uh, you know, there was, it's horrible.

So he died.

He cut off his being at penis and bled to death.

If you look, there was a bunch of odd stories that went on this weekend, horrific scenes

of violence and stupidity.

The city is absolutely not governed by our mayor.

And by the way, I'm, I'm being pretty rotten about making fun of a guy who cut off his

own penis, uh, and bled out.

I mean, you know, he obviously had, uh, some real issues, uh, his mental issues to say

the least.

There was no way to give him an adidictomy or something that helped him or he gave himself

an adidictomy.

No.

There's a song called detachable penis.

See that?

Yes.

Detachable penis.

Yeah.

And why do you know that?

She worked at Key Rock.

Oh, they, they actually played it.

Okay.

Rodney did.

All right.

Uh, and then let's do one more story.

We'll go back to, uh, get away from penis stories.

Uh, talk about a photo finish, American Nathan Martin won the LA marathon.

It looked like the guy from Kenya was about to win.

And in the last second, Nathan stepped up, beat him by like a foot.

It was a photo finish, uh, close finish ever.

Pretty, pretty astounding.

You know, one of the things that I, I, that was a, and usually it's Kenyans who, uh,

win or Ethiopians, uh, win these races almost religiously.

So this is the second time American champion.

But I always wonder, uh, about, uh, these world records that are set, you know, two hours,

seven minutes, two hours, ten minutes, they're different races.

If you're running the Boston marathon, it's a different course than the LA marathon.

I'm assuming it's a world record for each marathon.

But even then, uh, the courses are different.

Aren't they marathon to marathon?

Yeah, but they're still where, where do you get a world record?

How does that make any sense?

Because you're finishing a certain mileage.

And I know, but it's a different course, but it's a, let's say you're up hill more than

the other course.

Well, that could be said of the Olympics too, then if you're looking at skiing, the world

records are set on different mountains.

That's correct.

That is, you're absolutely right.

You're absolutely right.

I bet that measured more.

Uh, but it doesn't matter.

She's right.

It's different mountains.

And even if there is, and, and people win by hundreds of a second, yeah.

And so like here, and if it's a different course, different days, different time of the

day, is a matter of fact, yeah, different, morning to afternoon, snow is in a different

condition.

Radio.

I mean, they're just might not be much to listen to in the morning and LA.

You know, I don't know why you're still here, Neil, it just absolutely floors me that

you're still.

I keep you humble, sir.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

No, no, you don't.

Well, me in that shirt, you're wearing.

No, there you are.

See, this is why this is why we're not on TV.

All right, guys, we're done.

Um, what's happening with the United States, what's happening with the Ron and, and particularly

Southern California because, uh, we are affected more than most and I'll explain why.
