delicious, I know, but atime of buy no, it can because
(01:27):
I have frozen garlic bread. Butit's not difficult to make. No,
but it's that's my point. Youknow, you're buying a box light and
airy and uh, you know,just and you ship it. I mean
you ship nothing, you ship abox. Yeah, but you know what
it is sometimes just the immediacy oror just someone else doing something, or
(01:49):
it's from someone I don't know,there's just sometimes you know, I ice
cream is easy to make every week? Yeah, but there isn't. It's
not immediate gratification. It's not youknow, you still have to wait for
the ice cream to be made.And although you can certainly, Oh here's
are you ready for this? Here'sa shocker. This is a foody Friday

Amy, good morning, well hiBill, yep, excellent, excellent,
okay, oh yesterday well I'll gothrough it. But yesterday I was at
as well, I'll go through itnow. Yesterday I was at an iHeart
event that it was a marketing eventwhere we were asked to talk about iHeart
(03:00):
and advertising. And it was PaulCorbino, who was the president of our
boss and Valentine from my and Iwas there and we were talking about it
and there was it was really interestingand oh boy, they have some high
powered people there. Oh good lordCEOs. I mean just a guy from
(03:27):
Casper Mattresses Mattresses, Yeah, theCEO. And I want to help me
up with him. Yeah. Well, I mean I went to him and
I go, you know, onbehalf of sleep number beds. I want
to say hello, and nice,very very nice guys. They're both a
different market though, yeah, peoplewho sleep, that's correct. Well,
(03:51):
they're different. And so I wastalking about someone asked about commercials and that
we are forced or not forced todo commercials and I say, we are
never forced and the company backs usup when we say no. Isn't that
weird? Period? Talk about eventhe pressure, even the pressure, and
(04:14):
I said, the only time I'veever had any pressure from salespeople, not
even management, was to try tosell a None of them work. Huh,
Okay, let's just move on.Okay, let's just move on with
you plenty. We started the showand we're on our way, all right.
(04:41):
What what are you picking out ofyour ma is not going well?
By the way, have some food. Okay, guys, are you ready
to do it? I'm gonna startdoing a meter. Okay, let's do
it, guys. It's time forhandle on the news with Amy and Neil
and me Amy. I did saygood morning to you, didn't I?
(05:03):
You did? You know? Whydo I always forget that I say good
morning to you? Well, atleast you remembered my name, so that's
I remember too. I remember thatI didn't say good morning. If I
didn't say good morning, and there'sthere's something there about because so and immediately
forgetting that I've said good morning,you forget because she's happy, and you
forget everything that has joy in it. That's absolutely correct. Okay, guys,
(05:24):
let's do it. Handle on thenews with Amy? Who I did
or did not say good morning toNeil? Who as always? What's the
matter with you? Bill? Thatis your mantra and me Lee story.
We reported this yesterday. The UCLAChancellor in front of the House Republicans the
(05:48):
committee, and you knew he wasgoing to get laid into over UCLA's response
to the protests and not having thepolice show up for hours after the attack
on the Palestinian, the pro Palestinian, the protesters, the counter protesters,
of which we still don't know whowas there, A lot of them were
(06:11):
not students and just come in becausethere's a protest, and the chancellor got
nailed. And then the First Amendmentstuff that the schools come up with,
Yeah, this is the First Amendmentissue. And then so you can call
for the total annihilation of Jews,and that's a First Amendment issue. And
where do they bounce on that one, Because as long as you don't specifically
(06:33):
say go kill them, but webelieve in the annihilation of Jews or a
lot to say that in this country, and the representatives, a lot of
them were Jeways, said oh no, no, no, no, you're
not going to allow that to happen. So there is a First Amendment argument,
at least in a public school.But it costs the presidents of Harvard
(06:56):
and Penn and a couple of othersschools. It cost them their presidency of
the school because they wouldn't outright sayit is a horrible, terrible thing to
say when asked. You know peoplethat say the genocide of Jews not just
it is a genocide that's going onin Palestine and Gaza. It is we
(07:17):
advocate the destruction of Jews. Well, it depends on the context. It
depends on how they say that dancewas the worst it was ever. You
gotta say no, You gotta justsay no. At certain points you go,
hey, First Amendment, too bad, you know, just too bad.
(07:39):
So three families are getting a littleclosure, but it's not the kind
of closure that anybody really wants.The bodies of three more hostages killed on
October seventh have been recovered from Gaza. Israel's army found them and brought them
back to Israel. The army saidthey were killed on the day of the
October seventh attack, and the bodieswere then taken an in to Gazan have
(08:01):
been held there for what seven months? Yeah, these are This shows you
the kind of animals Hamas is.Not only do they did they kill those
twelve hundred Israelis murder and rape andcut off babies heads, and the vast
majority of that were civilians. Yeah, a vast, vast majority. And
what they did is then the peoplethey killed, they took the bodies back
(08:24):
for negotiation. I wonder how manyare still alive. Yeah, that's what
you've seen proof of life on liketwo or three. That's true. And
so they're finding more bodies. AndI mean to hold bodies for negotiation and
have those families who want closure andto bury their loved ones, because that's
(08:45):
very important to families, foreclosure andHamas holding on to them. It's just
they're you know, why don't wesee placards? And I, you know,
I understand the position of pro palaesin. I get it. I may
be on the other side of itin terms of what Hamas is doing,
but I understand that. What Idon't understand is why don't you return the
(09:07):
hostages and why don't you return thebodies of those victims to the families.
Nope, we're gonna hold them.And you know, I read a story
where do you keep bodies in themid in the Mideast? Because as yesterday
did that story a decomposition bearying peopleas compost. Uh it is Uh,
(09:31):
they take they put them deep,deep into the lowest tunnels where it is
cold, and basically it's a morguerefrigerator room down there. I mean,
animals just uh, it's just justdrives me nuts. Hamas can do no
wrong as far as the protesters areconcerned. This entire war started October eighth,
(09:56):
when Israel, when the hierarchy ofwhen management, when the elected officials
woke up and said, hey,we've got nothing to do, let's go
ahead and kill thirty thousand Palestinians today. That's you know, what's bizarre is
that it even switched from pro Palestinianyou know marches in protests to pro Hamas.
I mean, you're seeing more andmore is crazy out there. It's
(10:22):
now a move international Criminal Court namingNetanyahu a war criminal, a perpetrator of
genocide. We talked about that before, you know the definition of genocide.
So yesterday we talked about the USconstructed pier there out in Gaza and how
they encountered significant obstacles to distribute thefood. They had gosh, Hamas had
(10:48):
drones, there was looting, thedelayed the deliveries. Well, it looks
that like today, aid groups havebegun distributing the humanitarian as system. This
is where Israel is just it.I don't get it. This is humanitarian
aid. I mean they search everysingle carton, every single palette of food
that comes in of medicine. Grantedthey should because arms may be coming in.
(11:13):
But after that, you know,how do you stop humanitarian aid and
say we're not stopping humanitarian aid?But what about the Hamas drones? What
were they doing? I have noidea, but so what and how hard
is it for original just to shootthem down? Oh? Just shoot him
down? Now what you know,what the world's going to turn against Israel
(11:33):
anymore than it is. Just letin the aid. People are starving,
you know that? Oh right there? Why don't they have messages saying we
only want Hamas, turn over Hamasand this all stops. Oh they have
they have has the guns. Uhyeah, and Hamas completely controls the population.
(11:58):
You don't see anything coming out ofGaza that says we're in favor of
returning the hostages to stop this war. You don't see just not even an
utterance. How many members are thereof Hamas? Oh they have tens of
thousands, just their military. Imean they're down to the last ten to
(12:18):
fifteen thousand people and a lot ofthem have been wiped out, probably ten
thousand, so they probably have atleast another ten, if not more.
These are military, they're trained military, and you know they're fights, and
these guys are at war and they'refanatic and they don't care how many civilians
are going down. As a matterof fact, I'm going to go the
other way, and the more civiliansthat are killed, the more Hamas is
(12:43):
enjoying the pr battle that they're winning. They also embed themselves in civilians,
So oh, you can't do civilians, Okay, then we can't go,
Then we can't fight. Has therebeen anybody from Gaza that has left that
were natives to the land that haveleft and said these are the atrocities being
(13:07):
No, I don't believe. So. I don't believe so. I's so
I haven't heard it or it hasnot been covered anyway. The aids coming
in big time, which or biggertime, which is excellent. I mean
Gaza will be on aid, food, medicine, infrastructure, aid for a
(13:28):
generation. They will starve. Butfor international food going in. Israel has
wiped out its distribution centers, itsmanufacturing plants, all of it, wiped
it out and it's going to haveto live on international aid. Boy,
that was that was a smart movefor Hamas to go in there and kidnap
(13:50):
and kill and take back bodies fromIsrael, the kibbutz along the border.
Good move, guys. All itdid was basically cost you the entire Okay,
and they still defend it. Imean, no one says a mistake
was made. Well, how'd thatwork out for you? Well, it's
(14:11):
about time. Metro officials have votedto authorize a surge of law enforcement and
public safety officers to patrol the Metrosystem. It's like a nine million dollar
plan for funding just for this.It was passed unanimously at a Metro board
meeting yesterday. In the first threemonths of twenty twenty four, Metro has
seen a sixty five percent increase intotal crime. Oh yeah, and we're
(14:35):
reporting a day after day. Bythe way, have you noticed that the
defund disband the police crowd is prettyquiet right now, saying we have too
many police officers on the streets.I have never ever understood that logic.
Oh I do I do? Theyhate the police? They hate the police?
(14:56):
I get it, Okay, Sodo you hate them outright? Or
do you think, yeah, takethem out right, you think the police.
You think the police are at faultbecause it marginalizes people. People of
color are frightened. And by theway, there's legitimacy to that people of
color have historically been treated horribly.But at some point you go, we're
(15:18):
at a different place. Nope,Nope, we're not. The police are
horrible. And the answer, andnot to say that the criminals aren't terrific,
it's just you have to deal withthem societally speaking. More programs for
the youth, more social workers outthere, more de escalation, which is
(15:39):
legitimate. The police is moving prettyrapidly towards that. I mean, they
already have eighty percent of the policehaving taken the escalation courses. And then
you know, let me ask youthis homicide robbery investigations. Guys who go
out the detectives, what de escalationdo they need? They're going out and
investigating, you know, they're notconfronting people. Yeah, so I'm guessing
(16:07):
they'll be safer to go out there. The other idea that they had to
make money was that it was threedollars to get on the metro, but
it was an extra thousand dollars foreach weapon. Yeah, they were hoping
that that would bring in some money, but hopefully. Okay, So,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration isissued the highest on record May hurricane forecast
(16:32):
for the upcoming hurricane season. Theysaid the storms are expected to exceed the
typical number seen every year in theseverity as well. Yeah, it's going
to get bad. Okay to thoseclimate change deniers, don't get near a
hurricane, okay, because you're goingto be climate changing advocating at one hundred
(16:52):
and forty miles an hour going throughthe countryside at a three hundred foot altitude.
I don't know that people are denyingthat weather changes or that I think
there's still some well, well youcan see it that caused happening. And
you're right the deniers saying that weatherchange is a hoax. I mean is
(17:18):
either Rubio has said that you haveto I think, so you know what,
listen, look out and say there'sno change, and no, there's
change, but man has nothing todo with it. So and would you
during the break. I want todo this because you are a very good
point, and I'm either I'm goingto do siri or and which major public
figure is still saying climate change isa hoax? And I may be wrong
(17:42):
with that, but I think someoneis, and I if I'm wrong,
I will come back and completely ignoreit like I didn't say it, and
then if I'm right, I willpoint that out and then look up what
what man melted the first ice age? Let's look up that the factories that
(18:03):
I don't think they have his name. Frankly, Well, I was just
curious because they had went through climatechange back then. They did. That
was global warming? Yeah, therewas global was curiously because which guy which
fella? Which factory? Not becauseof not because of fossil fuels, not
because of the CO two that's inthe air, not because of methane.
(18:27):
And science has proven that an increasein those factors causes the earth to heat
up. Well, I don't knowthis is something to celebrate, but home
mine just got a little more desirable. Rates declined for the third week in
a row. The standard thirty,or fixed rate mortgage average six point nine
(18:49):
for this week, down from lastweek's average of seven point two percent.
Well, there you go. Itwent down enough to make absolutely no difference.
Oh, come on, every littlepoint, every little bit matters.
Not really, it's going in theright way. And you know what,
(19:10):
we got really spoiled because six pointninety four is not horrible, No,
it's not. And we were usedto doing what is it yesterday? I
was talking to some people two pointeight percent two point seventy five percent when
money was so cheap. It is. You're right, we got completely spoiled.
Now time will cure that spoiled.We spend enough time at six six
(19:36):
and a half percent, which isabout the average, which is basically it
should be in terms of getting theeconomy working and just sort of everything panning
out. We'll get there five yearsfrom now. People have forgotten. But
we want to be under seven.I mean that reallys we do? You
want to be under we do.I can't sell a home if we sold
our home because we're under three,it would be ridiculous. Yeah, you
(19:57):
can't. Why it's free. It'sfree money, all right. So US
sues the entirety of the US suesto break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation in
the groundbreaking monopoly lawsuit. What mademe laugh about this story is it said
that this expected you know lawsuit.It's like expected it's been expected since I
(20:23):
was like eight. Yeah, andI have been talking about how it was
a monopoly to go to Sears andyour ticket. I love their defense and
I'm going to talk more about thatat seven o'clock. Oh, that it's
better for that, it's better forus. It's well or no, it's
not true. We do no harm. We do no harm. That's rule
(20:45):
number one in robotics. Robots shoulddo no harm. I'll talk more about
that at seven o'clock. Isn't thatwhat doctors are supposed to do. That's
the hypocritical oath, the hippopotamus oath. Yeah. The goal is to get
Biden on the ballot in Ohio.Governor DeWine in Ohio, and that was
(21:08):
yesterday that he's calling a special legislativesession. All the lawmakers have to come
back to make sure that Biden canget on the November ballot. And here's
why they have this weird rule thatthe state's certification deadline is August seventh,
but Biden won't officially be the candidateuntil after the Democratic National Convention, which
ends on August twenty second. Okay, so you got a technicality there,
(21:32):
but you have a Republican legislature thathas the ability of keeping Biden's name off
the ballot, and it makes nosense even a Republican governor's going Come on,
guys, really, a sitting presidentwho is the nominee of a party
you're keeping off the ballot because ofa technicality. By three days now you
(21:56):
had what was it? Illinois hadthe same problem and instantly they changed it,
or in Alabama, instantly it waschanged with a Republican governor. So
you know, hopefully that they wakeup in reality, hits, Is that
the way you want to win bythese weird technicalities. Yes, you don't
care if you don't care how youwin. No, it doesn't matter how
(22:18):
you win, You win, andthen you worry about it later. Wasn't
it sort of like them trying tokeep Trump off the ballot too? Yeah?
Yeah, keeping in you know,when someone's legitimately going to be the
candidate and there is no issue.Yeah, keeping that person off the ballot
because of some technical issues is crazy. For example, keeping Trump off the
ballot because he is in violation ofthe constitutional prohibition of insurrection. Right.
(22:47):
What he did is he attempted tooverturn a lawful election and therefore we want
to keep him off the ballot basedon the constitution. Excuse me, it's
been alleged. Where's the conviction,you don't. Where do you do it
just by allegation? And that's exactlywhat the Democrats wanted to do. That's
(23:07):
just as nuts, all right.The Supreme Court finds no bias against black
voters in a South Carolina congressional district. If you remember, this was that
redistricting situation that was alleged to havestrengthened the representative Nancy Mace. There is
(23:30):
like this redistricting where they were movinglike thirty thousand Democratic leaning black residents of
Charleston out of the district. I'mnot sure how they came to this conclusion,
but they did saying that that wasn'tYeah, as long as this political
and not racist, even though itis racist, if you could argue political.
(23:52):
The Court is going to allow redistricting, which, of course the Republicans
have done. I wonder if Democrats, if Democrats have done it with the
Court go the same way. Butwouldn't it be racist to say thirty thousand
blacks are Democratic leaning? Yeah,but that's but it's not because they're black.
It's because they're democratic leaning. That'sthe reason. And that's allowed based
(24:12):
on politics, which, by theway, the court is crazy on that
one too. But as long asit's not racism, as long as there
is another reason, and politics isa good enough reason. Okay, we're
any of those judges flying the Confederateflag, I'm assuming now, Yeah,
otherwise, I'm assuming they did.Starting Samuel Alito, slavery was misunderstood,
(24:41):
well beginning. That's the beginning ofthe of the decision. The NCAA and
five Power Conferences have agreed to asettlement that will pave the way to allow
schools to pay student athletes huge change, obviously because they never have been paid
paid, at least not legally before. The agreement to settle the three anti
(25:02):
trust cases includes the payment of morethan two point seven billion dollars in damages
to pass and current student athletes datingback to twenty sixteen. They'll get some
money out of this. It's arevenue share that will allow each school to
share up to about twenty million dollarsper year with its athletes. And it's
not finalized yet. The judge hasto approve it. That could takes several
(25:22):
months. So I mean the playersget their agents start negotiating for money,
and actually it makes a lot ofsense because the schools make tens of millions
of dollars a year off the backsof these quote student athletes. Now,
the name student athletes is very interesting. Wouldn't you think it is athlete in
big capital bold letters and then studentway down in very small letters. Division
(25:48):
one football is professional football. Imean it is on that level. These
guys don't go to school, theyplay football, and they're the ones that
are responsible for the money coming in. Damn straight, they should get the
money they're producing. They're going toneed to go back and apologize to a
good number of them as well,and pay the money and figure out there'll
(26:11):
be some kind of arbitration and somearbitrator is going to try to figure out
how much money. By the way, they're talking two point seven billion dollars
in damages a lot of students,right, but they're Heisman Trophy winder winners.
There are student athletes, well athletestudents who have filled up stadiums and
are responsible for millions and millions moretelevision viewers. Yeah, damn right,
(26:37):
they should get the money. UscA Loan's going to have to do a
lot of apologizer. Yeah, alrighty. President Joe Biden has pledged to designate
Kenya as the country's first key nonNATO ally in Sub Saharan Africa. And
this all comes at a time wherethe Kenyan President, William Rudo makes his
(27:00):
state visit to Washington, d Yeah. These are mainly ties, yeah,
and they're sort of kind of NATOmembers anyway, but they can't be because
any one of the NATO countries hascomplete veto power. You can blackball one
country can say no, thank you. There are twenty eight countries in NATO.
(27:21):
Someone applies, country applies, oneone says though not interested, and
so that will happen. By theway, you know where Kenya is on
the western part of Africa, andthis is where Kenya West where we got
that no no, uh uh amI wrong on that. You're very very
(27:41):
very and it's Kanye and that herefers to himself as ya yay okay,
So this country is going to bea nope, Okay, let's move on.
Sounds like something from Terminator. Thecity of Hawthorne is going to start
dispatching drones for nine one one callsbefore the end of the year. They
(28:02):
say it's to make police and fireefforts more safe and more efficient. The
drone first Responder system will be integratedinto the city's nine to one one operations,
and apparently the responder system is operatedfrom a central location. The drones
will be dispatched from what the companycalls nests that are stationed around the city,
which will enable the drones to getto police fire ems all the nine
(28:26):
to one one calls within seventy secondsto assess the situation. Twenty four year
old came up with this. He'sgot huge funding already. I can't even
imagine what the country is, whatthe company is valued at when it goes
IPO. So you're going to haveanother twenty five year old billionaire. And
look at a picture of this guy. See if you can find a picture
(28:48):
of Resnik Blake Resnick. It lookslike he has stuck his finger into a
socket of two hundred and twenty voltsinstead of one hundred and ten. Look
at his hair. It is hilarious. Well, you know what, Amy
says, terminator, I say RoboCopbecause I can't wait till one of these
(29:10):
things pull up and go dead oralive. You're coming with me. Oh,
here's a story, Neil, wehave to share, Okay. The
Pope, Pope Francis, has attributeda second miracle to an Italian teenager who,
in his very short life on thisplanet so far, has used his
computer skills to spread the Catholic faith, clearing the way for him to become
(29:34):
the first saint of the millennial generation. Yeah, fifteen years old. He
dies, and the two miracles aresomeone is healed, right, someone has
cancer and is healed. Someone hassome kind of disease. See, I
question these miracle cures. It wouldbe I think much more believable if an
(30:00):
amputee came in and one of thesesaints had the leg grow back like a
salamander. See, that's a genuinea miracle. You know how many people
out there are just cured? Youknow, Oh my god? You know
I had cancer, it's in remissionand it's gone. You think that happens
once in a while. Sure,okay, So every oncologist that happens to
(30:22):
should be sainted. Well I'm notCatholic, so I can't, but they
should be sainted, of course.And how many oncologists out there had I
have cancer patients quote miraculously be curedand they don't understand it. So the
sainthood should be they should spread thosethings out and just give out metal after
(30:44):
metal after metal. You know thesaintthood metal that you wear on your chain.
You know saints that you wear onchains, but you're wearing your own
because so many of them are distributed, by the way. For you Catholics
that are now offended by this,I want to put it on the record.
Good, any Catholic you've been onthe air for thirty plus years.
(31:07):
Any Catholic still listening to you deserveswhat they get. It's well said,
well point said. I've had plentyof warning. Move along, right,
so as I let me put itthis way, as i rip into the
papacy, okay, where I'm makefun of the papacy, is that considered
a pap smear? Okay, we'redone. Okay, now now you've gone
(31:30):
after all the women too, Yes, I have. Well, there we
go linguists everywhere starting starting the houroffensively ending the hour. You're just just
offensive across the board. Yeah,I am KFI AM six forty eight live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You'vebeen listening to The Bill Handle Show.

of the ten that I can thinkof. That's like a West Covie the
area. Yeah, I have aquestion. Whoever would buy garlic bread frozen?
I mean, that's just a weirdone to me. You know,
you know what, it's good.It's actually good. Frozen garlic bread is
delicious, I know, but atime of buy no, it can because
(01:27):
I have frozen garlic bread. Butit's not difficult to make. No,
but it's that's my point. Youknow, you're buying a box light and
airy and uh, you know,just and you ship it. I mean
you ship nothing, you ship abox. Yeah, but you know what
it is sometimes just the immediacy oror just someone else doing something, or
(01:49):
it's from someone I don't know,there's just sometimes you know, I ice
cream is easy to make every week? Yeah, but there isn't. It's
not immediate gratification. It's not youknow, you still have to wait for
the ice cream to be made.And although you can certainly, Oh here's
are you ready for this? Here'sa shocker. This is a foody Friday
(02:13):
note and commentary. You can freezeice cream for later, use it freeze,
it freezes, well it does,all right. Anyway, Good morning

as well, I'll go through itnow. Yesterday I was at an iHeart
event that it was a marketing eventwhere we were asked to talk about iHeart
(03:00):
and advertising. And it was PaulCorbino, who was the president of our
boss and Valentine from my and Iwas there and we were talking about it
and there was it was really interestingand oh boy, they have some high
powered people there. Oh good lordCEOs. I mean just a guy from
(03:27):
Casper Mattresses Mattresses, Yeah, theCEO. And I want to help me
up with him. Yeah. Well, I mean I went to him and
I go, you know, onbehalf of sleep number beds. I want
to say hello, and nice,very very nice guys. They're both a
different market though, yeah, peoplewho sleep, that's correct. Well,
(03:51):
they're different. And so I wastalking about someone asked about commercials and that
we are forced or not forced todo commercials and I say, we are
never forced and the company backs usup when we say no. Isn't that
weird? Period? Talk about eventhe pressure, even the pressure, and
(04:14):
I said, the only time I'veever had any pressure from salespeople, not
even management, was to try tosell a None of them work. Huh,
Okay, let's just move on.Okay, let's just move on with
you plenty. We started the showand we're on our way, all right.
(04:41):
What what are you picking out ofyour ma is not going well?
By the way, have some food. Okay, guys, are you ready
to do it? I'm gonna startdoing a meter. Okay, let's do
it, guys. It's time forhandle on the news with Amy and Neil
and me Amy. I did saygood morning to you, didn't I?
(05:03):
You did? You know? Whydo I always forget that I say good
morning to you? Well, atleast you remembered my name, so that's
I remember too. I remember thatI didn't say good morning. If I
didn't say good morning, and there'sthere's something there about because so and immediately
forgetting that I've said good morning,you forget because she's happy, and you
forget everything that has joy in it. That's absolutely correct. Okay, guys,
(05:24):
let's do it. Handle on thenews with Amy? Who I did
or did not say good morning toNeil? Who as always? What's the
matter with you? Bill? Thatis your mantra and me Lee story.
We reported this yesterday. The UCLAChancellor in front of the House Republicans the
(05:48):
committee, and you knew he wasgoing to get laid into over UCLA's response
to the protests and not having thepolice show up for hours after the attack
on the Palestinian, the pro Palestinian, the protesters, the counter protesters,
of which we still don't know whowas there, A lot of them were
(06:11):
not students and just come in becausethere's a protest, and the chancellor got
nailed. And then the First Amendmentstuff that the schools come up with,
Yeah, this is the First Amendmentissue. And then so you can call
for the total annihilation of Jews,and that's a First Amendment issue. And
where do they bounce on that one, Because as long as you don't specifically
(06:33):
say go kill them, but webelieve in the annihilation of Jews or a
lot to say that in this country, and the representatives, a lot of
them were Jeways, said oh no, no, no, no, you're
not going to allow that to happen. So there is a First Amendment argument,
at least in a public school.But it costs the presidents of Harvard
(06:56):
and Penn and a couple of othersschools. It cost them their presidency of
the school because they wouldn't outright sayit is a horrible, terrible thing to
say when asked. You know peoplethat say the genocide of Jews not just
it is a genocide that's going onin Palestine and Gaza. It is we
(07:17):
advocate the destruction of Jews. Well, it depends on the context. It
depends on how they say that dancewas the worst it was ever. You
gotta say no, You gotta justsay no. At certain points you go,
hey, First Amendment, too bad, you know, just too bad.
(07:39):
So three families are getting a littleclosure, but it's not the kind
of closure that anybody really wants.The bodies of three more hostages killed on
October seventh have been recovered from Gaza. Israel's army found them and brought them
back to Israel. The army saidthey were killed on the day of the
October seventh attack, and the bodieswere then taken an in to Gazan have
(08:01):
been held there for what seven months? Yeah, these are This shows you
the kind of animals Hamas is.Not only do they did they kill those
twelve hundred Israelis murder and rape andcut off babies heads, and the vast
majority of that were civilians. Yeah, a vast, vast majority. And
what they did is then the peoplethey killed, they took the bodies back
(08:24):
for negotiation. I wonder how manyare still alive. Yeah, that's what
you've seen proof of life on liketwo or three. That's true. And
so they're finding more bodies. AndI mean to hold bodies for negotiation and
have those families who want closure andto bury their loved ones, because that's
(08:45):
very important to families, foreclosure andHamas holding on to them. It's just
they're you know, why don't wesee placards? And I, you know,
I understand the position of pro palaesin. I get it. I may
be on the other side of itin terms of what Hamas is doing,
but I understand that. What Idon't understand is why don't you return the
(09:07):
hostages and why don't you return thebodies of those victims to the families.
Nope, we're gonna hold them.And you know, I read a story
where do you keep bodies in themid in the Mideast? Because as yesterday
did that story a decomposition bearying peopleas compost. Uh it is Uh,
(09:31):
they take they put them deep,deep into the lowest tunnels where it is
cold, and basically it's a morguerefrigerator room down there. I mean,
animals just uh, it's just justdrives me nuts. Hamas can do no
wrong as far as the protesters areconcerned. This entire war started October eighth,
(09:56):
when Israel, when the hierarchy ofwhen management, when the elected officials
woke up and said, hey,we've got nothing to do, let's go
ahead and kill thirty thousand Palestinians today. That's you know, what's bizarre is
that it even switched from pro Palestinianyou know marches in protests to pro Hamas.
I mean, you're seeing more andmore is crazy out there. It's
(10:22):
now a move international Criminal Court namingNetanyahu a war criminal, a perpetrator of
genocide. We talked about that before, you know the definition of genocide.
So yesterday we talked about the USconstructed pier there out in Gaza and how
they encountered significant obstacles to distribute thefood. They had gosh, Hamas had
(10:48):
drones, there was looting, thedelayed the deliveries. Well, it looks
that like today, aid groups havebegun distributing the humanitarian as system. This
is where Israel is just it.I don't get it. This is humanitarian
aid. I mean they search everysingle carton, every single palette of food
that comes in of medicine. Grantedthey should because arms may be coming in.
(11:13):
But after that, you know,how do you stop humanitarian aid and
say we're not stopping humanitarian aid?But what about the Hamas drones? What
were they doing? I have noidea, but so what and how hard
is it for original just to shootthem down? Oh? Just shoot him
down? Now what you know,what the world's going to turn against Israel
(11:33):
anymore than it is. Just letin the aid. People are starving,
you know that? Oh right there? Why don't they have messages saying we
only want Hamas, turn over Hamasand this all stops. Oh they have
they have has the guns. Uhyeah, and Hamas completely controls the population.
(11:58):
You don't see anything coming out ofGaza that says we're in favor of
returning the hostages to stop this war. You don't see just not even an
utterance. How many members are thereof Hamas? Oh they have tens of
thousands, just their military. Imean they're down to the last ten to
(12:18):
fifteen thousand people and a lot ofthem have been wiped out, probably ten
thousand, so they probably have atleast another ten, if not more.
These are military, they're trained military, and you know they're fights, and
these guys are at war and they'refanatic and they don't care how many civilians
are going down. As a matterof fact, I'm going to go the
other way, and the more civiliansthat are killed, the more Hamas is
(12:43):
enjoying the pr battle that they're winning. They also embed themselves in civilians,
So oh, you can't do civilians, Okay, then we can't go,
Then we can't fight. Has therebeen anybody from Gaza that has left that
were natives to the land that haveleft and said these are the atrocities being
(13:07):
No, I don't believe. So. I don't believe so. I's so
I haven't heard it or it hasnot been covered anyway. The aids coming
in big time, which or biggertime, which is excellent. I mean
Gaza will be on aid, food, medicine, infrastructure, aid for a
(13:28):
generation. They will starve. Butfor international food going in. Israel has
wiped out its distribution centers, itsmanufacturing plants, all of it, wiped
it out and it's going to haveto live on international aid. Boy,
that was that was a smart movefor Hamas to go in there and kidnap
(13:50):
and kill and take back bodies fromIsrael, the kibbutz along the border.
Good move, guys. All itdid was basically cost you the entire Okay,
and they still defend it. Imean, no one says a mistake
was made. Well, how'd thatwork out for you? Well, it's
(14:11):
about time. Metro officials have votedto authorize a surge of law enforcement and
public safety officers to patrol the Metrosystem. It's like a nine million dollar
plan for funding just for this.It was passed unanimously at a Metro board
meeting yesterday. In the first threemonths of twenty twenty four, Metro has
seen a sixty five percent increase intotal crime. Oh yeah, and we're
(14:35):
reporting a day after day. Bythe way, have you noticed that the
defund disband the police crowd is prettyquiet right now, saying we have too
many police officers on the streets.I have never ever understood that logic.
Oh I do I do? Theyhate the police? They hate the police?
(14:56):
I get it, Okay, Sodo you hate them outright? Or
do you think, yeah, takethem out right, you think the police.
You think the police are at faultbecause it marginalizes people. People of
color are frightened. And by theway, there's legitimacy to that people of
color have historically been treated horribly.But at some point you go, we're
(15:18):
at a different place. Nope,Nope, we're not. The police are
horrible. And the answer, andnot to say that the criminals aren't terrific,
it's just you have to deal withthem societally speaking. More programs for
the youth, more social workers outthere, more de escalation, which is
(15:39):
legitimate. The police is moving prettyrapidly towards that. I mean, they
already have eighty percent of the policehaving taken the escalation courses. And then
you know, let me ask youthis homicide robbery investigations. Guys who go
out the detectives, what de escalationdo they need? They're going out and
investigating, you know, they're notconfronting people. Yeah, so I'm guessing
(16:07):
they'll be safer to go out there. The other idea that they had to
make money was that it was threedollars to get on the metro, but
it was an extra thousand dollars foreach weapon. Yeah, they were hoping
that that would bring in some money, but hopefully. Okay, So,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration isissued the highest on record May hurricane forecast
(16:32):
for the upcoming hurricane season. Theysaid the storms are expected to exceed the
typical number seen every year in theseverity as well. Yeah, it's going
to get bad. Okay to thoseclimate change deniers, don't get near a
hurricane, okay, because you're goingto be climate changing advocating at one hundred
(16:52):
and forty miles an hour going throughthe countryside at a three hundred foot altitude.
I don't know that people are denyingthat weather changes or that I think
there's still some well, well youcan see it that caused happening. And
you're right the deniers saying that weatherchange is a hoax. I mean is
(17:18):
either Rubio has said that you haveto I think, so you know what,
listen, look out and say there'sno change, and no, there's
change, but man has nothing todo with it. So and would you
during the break. I want todo this because you are a very good
point, and I'm either I'm goingto do siri or and which major public
figure is still saying climate change isa hoax? And I may be wrong
(17:42):
with that, but I think someoneis, and I if I'm wrong,
I will come back and completely ignoreit like I didn't say it, and
then if I'm right, I willpoint that out and then look up what
what man melted the first ice age? Let's look up that the factories that
(18:03):
I don't think they have his name. Frankly, Well, I was just
curious because they had went through climatechange back then. They did. That
was global warming? Yeah, therewas global was curiously because which guy which
fella? Which factory? Not becauseof not because of fossil fuels, not
because of the CO two that's inthe air, not because of methane.
(18:27):
And science has proven that an increasein those factors causes the earth to heat
up. Well, I don't knowthis is something to celebrate, but home
mine just got a little more desirable. Rates declined for the third week in
a row. The standard thirty,or fixed rate mortgage average six point nine
(18:49):
for this week, down from lastweek's average of seven point two percent.
Well, there you go. Itwent down enough to make absolutely no difference.
Oh, come on, every littlepoint, every little bit matters.
Not really, it's going in theright way. And you know what,
(19:10):
we got really spoiled because six pointninety four is not horrible, No,
it's not. And we were usedto doing what is it yesterday? I
was talking to some people two pointeight percent two point seventy five percent when
money was so cheap. It is. You're right, we got completely spoiled.
Now time will cure that spoiled.We spend enough time at six six
(19:36):
and a half percent, which isabout the average, which is basically it
should be in terms of getting theeconomy working and just sort of everything panning
out. We'll get there five yearsfrom now. People have forgotten. But
we want to be under seven.I mean that reallys we do? You
want to be under we do.I can't sell a home if we sold
our home because we're under three,it would be ridiculous. Yeah, you
(19:57):
can't. Why it's free. It'sfree money, all right. So US
sues the entirety of the US suesto break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation in
the groundbreaking monopoly lawsuit. What mademe laugh about this story is it said
that this expected you know lawsuit.It's like expected it's been expected since I
(20:23):
was like eight. Yeah, andI have been talking about how it was
a monopoly to go to Sears andyour ticket. I love their defense and
I'm going to talk more about thatat seven o'clock. Oh, that it's
better for that, it's better forus. It's well or no, it's
not true. We do no harm. We do no harm. That's rule
(20:45):
number one in robotics. Robots shoulddo no harm. I'll talk more about
that at seven o'clock. Isn't thatwhat doctors are supposed to do. That's
the hypocritical oath, the hippopotamus oath. Yeah. The goal is to get
Biden on the ballot in Ohio.Governor DeWine in Ohio, and that was
(21:08):
yesterday that he's calling a special legislativesession. All the lawmakers have to come
back to make sure that Biden canget on the November ballot. And here's
why they have this weird rule thatthe state's certification deadline is August seventh,
but Biden won't officially be the candidateuntil after the Democratic National Convention, which
ends on August twenty second. Okay, so you got a technicality there,
(21:32):
but you have a Republican legislature thathas the ability of keeping Biden's name off
the ballot, and it makes nosense even a Republican governor's going Come on,
guys, really, a sitting presidentwho is the nominee of a party
you're keeping off the ballot because ofa technicality. By three days now you
(21:56):
had what was it? Illinois hadthe same problem and instantly they changed it,
or in Alabama, instantly it waschanged with a Republican governor. So
you know, hopefully that they wakeup in reality, hits, Is that
the way you want to win bythese weird technicalities. Yes, you don't
care if you don't care how youwin. No, it doesn't matter how
(22:18):
you win, You win, andthen you worry about it later. Wasn't
it sort of like them trying tokeep Trump off the ballot too? Yeah?
Yeah, keeping in you know,when someone's legitimately going to be the
candidate and there is no issue.Yeah, keeping that person off the ballot
because of some technical issues is crazy. For example, keeping Trump off the
ballot because he is in violation ofthe constitutional prohibition of insurrection. Right.
(22:47):
What he did is he attempted tooverturn a lawful election and therefore we want
to keep him off the ballot basedon the constitution. Excuse me, it's
been alleged. Where's the conviction,you don't. Where do you do it
just by allegation? And that's exactlywhat the Democrats wanted to do. That's
(23:07):
just as nuts, all right.The Supreme Court finds no bias against black
voters in a South Carolina congressional district. If you remember, this was that
redistricting situation that was alleged to havestrengthened the representative Nancy Mace. There is
(23:30):
like this redistricting where they were movinglike thirty thousand Democratic leaning black residents of
Charleston out of the district. I'mnot sure how they came to this conclusion,
but they did saying that that wasn'tYeah, as long as this political
and not racist, even though itis racist, if you could argue political.
(23:52):
The Court is going to allow redistricting, which, of course the Republicans
have done. I wonder if Democrats, if Democrats have done it with the
Court go the same way. Butwouldn't it be racist to say thirty thousand
blacks are Democratic leaning? Yeah,but that's but it's not because they're black.
It's because they're democratic leaning. That'sthe reason. And that's allowed based
(24:12):
on politics, which, by theway, the court is crazy on that
one too. But as long asit's not racism, as long as there
is another reason, and politics isa good enough reason. Okay, we're
any of those judges flying the Confederateflag, I'm assuming now, Yeah,
otherwise, I'm assuming they did.Starting Samuel Alito, slavery was misunderstood,
(24:41):
well beginning. That's the beginning ofthe of the decision. The NCAA and
five Power Conferences have agreed to asettlement that will pave the way to allow
schools to pay student athletes huge change, obviously because they never have been paid
paid, at least not legally before. The agreement to settle the three anti
(25:02):
trust cases includes the payment of morethan two point seven billion dollars in damages
to pass and current student athletes datingback to twenty sixteen. They'll get some
money out of this. It's arevenue share that will allow each school to
share up to about twenty million dollarsper year with its athletes. And it's
not finalized yet. The judge hasto approve it. That could takes several
(25:22):
months. So I mean the playersget their agents start negotiating for money,
and actually it makes a lot ofsense because the schools make tens of millions
of dollars a year off the backsof these quote student athletes. Now,
the name student athletes is very interesting. Wouldn't you think it is athlete in
big capital bold letters and then studentway down in very small letters. Division
(25:48):
one football is professional football. Imean it is on that level. These
guys don't go to school, theyplay football, and they're the ones that
are responsible for the money coming in. Damn straight, they should get the
money they're producing. They're going toneed to go back and apologize to a
good number of them as well,and pay the money and figure out there'll
(26:11):
be some kind of arbitration and somearbitrator is going to try to figure out
how much money. By the way, they're talking two point seven billion dollars
in damages a lot of students,right, but they're Heisman Trophy winder winners.
There are student athletes, well athletestudents who have filled up stadiums and
are responsible for millions and millions moretelevision viewers. Yeah, damn right,
(26:37):
they should get the money. UscA Loan's going to have to do a
lot of apologizer. Yeah, alrighty. President Joe Biden has pledged to designate
Kenya as the country's first key nonNATO ally in Sub Saharan Africa. And
this all comes at a time wherethe Kenyan President, William Rudo makes his
(27:00):
state visit to Washington, d Yeah. These are mainly ties, yeah,
and they're sort of kind of NATOmembers anyway, but they can't be because
any one of the NATO countries hascomplete veto power. You can blackball one
country can say no, thank you. There are twenty eight countries in NATO.
(27:21):
Someone applies, country applies, oneone says though not interested, and
so that will happen. By theway, you know where Kenya is on
the western part of Africa, andthis is where Kenya West where we got
that no no, uh uh amI wrong on that. You're very very
(27:41):
very and it's Kanye and that herefers to himself as ya yay okay,
So this country is going to bea nope, Okay, let's move on.
Sounds like something from Terminator. Thecity of Hawthorne is going to start
dispatching drones for nine one one callsbefore the end of the year. They
(28:02):
say it's to make police and fireefforts more safe and more efficient. The
drone first Responder system will be integratedinto the city's nine to one one operations,
and apparently the responder system is operatedfrom a central location. The drones
will be dispatched from what the companycalls nests that are stationed around the city,
which will enable the drones to getto police fire ems all the nine
(28:26):
to one one calls within seventy secondsto assess the situation. Twenty four year
old came up with this. He'sgot huge funding already. I can't even
imagine what the country is, whatthe company is valued at when it goes
IPO. So you're going to haveanother twenty five year old billionaire. And
look at a picture of this guy. See if you can find a picture
(28:48):
of Resnik Blake Resnick. It lookslike he has stuck his finger into a
socket of two hundred and twenty voltsinstead of one hundred and ten. Look
at his hair. It is hilarious. Well, you know what, Amy
says, terminator, I say RoboCopbecause I can't wait till one of these
(29:10):
things pull up and go dead oralive. You're coming with me. Oh,
here's a story, Neil, wehave to share, Okay. The
Pope, Pope Francis, has attributeda second miracle to an Italian teenager who,
in his very short life on thisplanet so far, has used his
computer skills to spread the Catholic faith, clearing the way for him to become
(29:34):
the first saint of the millennial generation. Yeah, fifteen years old. He
dies, and the two miracles aresomeone is healed, right, someone has
cancer and is healed. Someone hassome kind of disease. See, I
question these miracle cures. It wouldbe I think much more believable if an
(30:00):
amputee came in and one of thesesaints had the leg grow back like a
salamander. See, that's a genuinea miracle. You know how many people
out there are just cured? Youknow, Oh my god? You know
I had cancer, it's in remissionand it's gone. You think that happens
once in a while. Sure,okay, So every oncologist that happens to
(30:22):
should be sainted. Well I'm notCatholic, so I can't, but they
should be sainted, of course.And how many oncologists out there had I
have cancer patients quote miraculously be curedand they don't understand it. So the
sainthood should be they should spread thosethings out and just give out metal after
(30:44):
metal after metal. You know thesaintthood metal that you wear on your chain.
You know saints that you wear onchains, but you're wearing your own
because so many of them are distributed, by the way. For you Catholics
that are now offended by this,I want to put it on the record.
Good, any Catholic you've been onthe air for thirty plus years.
(31:07):
Any Catholic still listening to you deserveswhat they get. It's well said,
well point said. I've had plentyof warning. Move along, right,
so as I let me put itthis way, as i rip into the
papacy, okay, where I'm makefun of the papacy, is that considered
a pap smear? Okay, we'redone. Okay, now now you've gone
(31:30):
after all the women too, Yes, I have. Well, there we
go linguists everywhere starting starting the houroffensively ending the hour. You're just just
offensive across the board. Yeah,I am KFI AM six forty eight live
