You're listening to KPI AM six fortythe Bill Handles show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. It's all Guilty,All thirty four. I mean people were
talking about a hung jury. Thatwas what I heard, probably the most.
(00:21):
Yeah. I mean there were acouple of guys on that jury that
could have justified a well hung jury. Okay, you're stupid, thank you,
And now handle on the news,ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
Oh nice cough Neil. Good morning, everybody, what a wait,
(00:44):
good great way to start the show. Okay, morning everybody. Yes,
it is a Monday morning, Junethird. We're already into June, and
it is June. Gloom, gloom, June. Except I was looking at
the weather reports and by midweek wewere looking at a heat wave extraordinary coming
in Amy, Do I have thatright? What? The main heat wave
(01:04):
is going to be farther north andthe like the central Valleys can hit like
one o eight up to near onehundred in San Francisco, but probably warming
up here too. Okay, soI mis read it a little bit.
You know, I think it's gonnaget to the point where you're gonna do
and today's weather report. Your houseis going to burn down. That's it.
That's that's gonna be your weather report. We haven't had any really warm
(01:26):
weather yet this year. Well,the last place you want it is in
San Francisco, where it warms up, the the urine and the human feces.
Yeah, especially in the Tenderloin district. Oh yeah, ender Loin.
Indeed. Yeah, it's a littletough. And the problem is how much
(01:47):
vegetation. Veget vegetation is out therebecause of the rains. So it's wonderful
when the rains come and everything isgreen. The problem is we live in
California where everything green turns to brown, especially when it gets hot. It's
going to get hotter, it's goingto get it's going to there's more vegetation
(02:07):
to dry out. And you've gotwell, what's that fire going on right
now in the San Joaquin Valley.Yeah, in Tracy, Yeah, I
mean that is already. You watchthe news and it's just crazy because people,
of course they take their videos.Of course they whip out their phones
and everything is videoed and people aredriving down the highway with both sides on
(02:28):
fire, and it's just crazy.Well, that one, it's now about
fifty percent surrounded, so that's good. And the evacuation warnings are the evacuation
orders have been downgraded to warnings,and so far a couple of firefighters have
been hurt, but nobody else,I mean, right now, that's good
news. And of course it alldeals with how much wind there is,
(02:49):

we have a horse, and soshe was out visiting it this on Saturday,
and she had pulled her car upto the pastor that he was at
and pulled him out and started groominghim, and something spooked him, and
(03:53):
so he decided to start backing upand backed into her car, flipped over,
fell on his back, and kickedout the rear window, bashed in
her the back of her car andthe side of her car, and he's
okay, I mean he's got somegashes on his leg. Now, Insurance,
(04:13):
I will certainly pay for the carbecause you have comprehensive Will insurance pay
for the vets bills? Absolutely not. Yeah, I don't think she will
be there. Yeah, all right, that's again. Was your weekend?
Amy? Your weekend? Yeah?I had a car wreck this weekend.
Oh really, it wasn't a wreckwreck, but it was. Yeah.
We were heading to Disneyland on Saturdaymorning as sep surprise, surprise, and
(04:34):
we were in the h in theline to get into the parking structure and
I got rear ended. You gotrear ended. Yeah, put your hand
behind your neck and right now andstart moaning. Oh, thank you.
And I want you to talk tome right after the show because I have
a website for you to go toYou don't know how badly injured you are.
(04:57):
Uh, and you're not going toknow until after you and I have
a conversation. Okay, yeah,trash my bumper, but otherwise all right,
Neil. But by the way,and that you'd be surprised how many
people file lawsuits on that one,Neil, Good morning, Good morning.
So I had a I was snackingon the taco and got spooked and I
kicked the window out of the backof my car. Too very strong,
(05:20):
very strong, all right, andcodo last, but certainly least. I
was going to drive through and Iwas behind a horse. Actually, well,
there you go, there you go. And I went to France.
I went to France and guess whatI ate for dinner? No, you
know what I did? Hey,they do that, they do that,
you can I I had a hamburgeronce in Mexico. Then I'm pretty sure
(05:45):
was not be Yeah, let metell you something. I'm pretty sure I
had that same hamburger and you couldsay heal, and it would do tricks.
The Hamburger would do it a littlesweeter. Now, but you know,
and then just real quick before wego, you know, I'm remodeling
this house or I'm doing some remodelingin this new house. So I went
(06:06):
to a showroom, plumbing showroom,and I was looking at toilets, and
you know it's you can understand.You know you can't use the toilet.
I get you, because it's notplugged in. But I'll tell you what
you also cannot do. I foundout you cannot try the toilet seat on,
and the only way you really knowis to pull your pants down and
(06:27):
sit on it to see how yourass hunkers down and how comfortable it's going
to be because you know you're goingto use it for a long time.
That is not well received by thestaff there. I must tell you,
no, No, I could seewhere that would be a problem. I
should have taken a photo. Well, the guy should have had. I
should have taken a photo because itwas hugely entertaining. Okay, guys,
(06:50):
let's do it. Okay, we'restarting on a Monday, June third.
Handle on the news. By theway, that's true. That not just
to let you know I should havetaken a photo. Let's do it.
Handle on the news, Amy Neiland me lead story well Middle East News
(07:12):
and a to Benjamin Natonna, whosaid that Yeah, they're accepting a framework
deal. And this is the dealbetween Israel and gazin Hamas advanced by Joe
Biden. Nobody likes it, whichmeans it's probably gonna come down. Israel
has to give up. It's we'regoing to destroy Hamas. Hamas has to
(07:33):
give up at this point, totaland complete withdrawal until its demands are bet.
And you see, this is aneasy one, I think. And
if I had to do it,and here's what I would say, and
that is, you're not gonna geta rid of Hamas. That will never
happen. Hamas will never ever giveup its power and Gaza ever, However,
(07:59):
the other side is it doesn't matterbecause Hamas is not in a position
to ever do that attack again Octoberseventh attack. If I were the king
of the world, if I wereIsrael, if I were in Neta Yahu,
and there's all kinds of political reasonswhy he can't do this or even
accept this deal. Maybe is realsimple, Okay, Hamas, You've got
(08:22):
Gaza fair enough, We're gonna getthe hell out of there. One more
attack, just one like the onethat happened October second, or even close
to it. Gaza will be utterlydestroyed. There will not be a building
left in Gaza. We will flattenthe entire area. If that's what you're
willing to pay, If you're willingto pay the price for that, go
(08:46):
for it. And well, ofcourse Hamas will go for it, because
Hamas, you know, I mean, they don't care, They don't care
about the people they live in thosetunnels. And there'll be nothing. It'll
be dystopian, it'll be just nothingwill be up above. Is not going
to happen. No, they wouldn'tsay that, but it may come to
an end. And then the hostages, how many are still alive because they're
discovering bodies like crazy, rescuing quotebodies. All right, let's continue on.
(09:11):
We'll talk more about this later.Don't go in a WATA, at
least not at del Mar, whichyou pretty much can't because they put up
sign saying don't go in the water. Because the guy was bitten by a
shark yesterday morning. Happened about onehundred miles off shore. This is in
northern San Diego County at del MarBeach. Apparently this guy goes swimming with
a bunch of people pretty regularly theydo their training, and shark came up
(09:37):
bit him. He has bites tohis torso, his left arm, arm
hand, and possibly his chin.And he used to have a deep bass
voice. Okay, his balls aregone as open. I don't think that
that's where he was bit Oh hihurts. Anyway, he's expected to be.
(09:58):
Okay, they should put signs upthat says all you can eat brunch
buffet. Bad news. You're thebuffet, well said, all right,
let's take a break, guys,and we will come back. Klono's the
only the only one that laughs atthis stuff. You know, no one
else thinks this stuff is funny.Uh drunk, Huh, he's drunk.
(10:22):
The president Mexico has elected Claudia shinebamba former mayor of the Capitol as as
the country's first female president. Hedid big time. He did election on
Sunday. Even add some some hubbubhere at the consulate as well, the
Mexico's consulate here in Los Angeles.But big doings. Yeah. Interesting woman,
(10:46):
Jewish woman and this is a Catholiccountry, I mean just a hugely
Catholic country and a woman. Butshe's simply next Obada daughter. That's he's
been her mentor, and she saidthe policies are going to stay this basically
the same. So you're not goingto see very much because it's been doing
so well. Yeah, well she'sgoing to go a little bit more.
(11:09):
The big issue, as you wouldthink, is crime in Mexico. A
third of Mexico is controlled by thecartels. I mean, it's just it's
crazy, just crazy. So we'llsee how she does. You'll see,
well, I could go on andon with this, but it's it's not
politically, it's not going to bea big deal. I don't think in
(11:31):
terms of policy differences. Now whatyou may see is and the Obrador started
this a crackdown on that side ofthe border. That's going to help our
immigration problem because Mexico can do alot. For example, those trains that
have thousands of people hanging off andon top on top of them, those
(11:52):
major caravans, Mexico puts stop tothem, right now, Ostia the Beast,
Yeah, yeah, they could doit. And it's starting to go
all right. Last week it wasTrump trial. This weekend or this week
it's a Biden trial. Jury selectiongets underweight today in Delaware. Hunter Biden
(12:13):
is facing three criminal counts of allegedlybuying a gun while he was addicted to
crack cocaine. And the problem withhim doing those two things is he lied
on a federal tax or a federalform. Yeah, he's getting nailed for
it. And now do we havepolitics, of course, because it's Joe
Biden's son, and the argument isgoing to be, and here is what
(12:35):
you're going to hear. They're nottrying him for his real crime, and
that is taking money and having hisdad be part of this corrupt scandal where
Joe Biden got five million dollars fromthe government of Ukraine. I mean we've
heard that over and over again fromparticularly from Republicans Comer for example, one
(12:58):
of them in the House. Andno proof, of course, not I
mean zero proof, just the allegation. And he asked, where's the five
million dollar check. Well, wehave it, but we'll show it to
you when it's appropriate. When's appropriate. I will decide when it's appropriate.
And so the politics of this,it's real simple. Would anybody else get
nailed on this and go to trial? Probably not. But sometimes these cases
(13:22):
are so so high profile you can'teven take a plea. You've got to
go for it. I hope theynail him, and then Biden and Trump
share a cell. Uh yeah,and they and they and it becomes a
new reality show. And he's notgoing to do any prison time. Yeah,
(13:43):
it's very funny. That is veryfunny. You know. I thought
about this over the weekend. Andsince Trump is going to be in front
of Mershan the judge who oversaw thecase and first sentencing, and this comes
up July eleventh, and Trump hasover and over again derided the judge and
(14:03):
called him conflicted and basically called himevery name. And you think he is
crazy to say that about a judgewho is going to sentence him, Who
in their right mind would do that. It's actually a brilliant move. You
know why merchan is Mershawn is goingto have to bend over backwards the other
way to show he was not influencedby what Trump said about him. Yeah.
(14:28):
Yeah, I think he has toprove the other side. Actually,
it was a pretty good move Trump, I got to tell you. You
know, for all everything everybody dislikesabout Trump Man, he you know,
some of the stuff he does,whether it's planned or not, I think
is absolutely brilliant. Look at thispolitical move he's got hit. The MAGA
supporters are screaming about it's been robbed, and you know it's been rigged.
(14:52):
And not only the MEGA people sayingit. Yeah, I know a lot
of them. About fifty percent ofAmericans You're right about think that not so
much. It was rigged. Maybeit was a witch hunt, it was
a witch Well, I have totell you, Alvin Bragg Democrat, there
is no issue there. Politics allover it, notwithstanding any crime that could
or could not have been committed.One that argument is true. Now this
(15:16):
is this is not a guy whowas independently minded. It was truly,
truly politically motivated that by the waythey they they don't have to be mutually
exclusive exclusive. You can have acrime and go after it with politics being
part of it, which I thinkhappened in New York. All right,
good night. Right, let's gofrom that poop to this poop. North
(15:39):
Korea said that it was stopping sendingits trash and poop filled balloons to South
Korea after Soul reported hundreds more airbornewaste deliveries floating across the border. Oh
man, I love how we arein like the highest tech time of our
lives. And someone in some roomin North Korea said, you know what
(16:03):
we're doing. We're gonna put fecesand stuff in balloons. We're just gonna
send it over to them. Andeveryone went, hey, that's a great
idea. Not drones, nothing special, just poop balloons. Oh they stopped
it few hundred and that we're done. Well, how many poop balloons do
you need to land in your countrybefore? Well, South Korea is a
(16:26):
big country and poop balloons aren't thatbig. You know what, we should
send poop balloons somewhere. Yeah,see if we get press. Okay,
Uh, this makes me kind ofwonder because I'm cynical that way. Was
there a financial incentive on this one? But that stretch of to Panga Canyon
(16:47):
Boulevard that's been closed since early Marchbecause of the storm and the mud and
debrief flow of flows that followed openedon Sunday about ninety days ahead of schedule,
which is great news that you know. That is an excellent question,
Amy, because all of these contractsunder these circumstances have acceleration clauses. Bonuses
(17:08):
happen for every day you are underschedule. Traditionally it happened on the ten
Freeway during the earthquake. It happenedwith the bridge that was built over the
four h five. Remember that fromone side to the other. They took
down the bridge and built another oneunder schedule, and they shut down the
(17:30):
entire freeway for X number of days, way sooner it came back than it
should. It was rebuilt and bonusescame in like crazy. And were is
there any kind of a plan orprogram? I don't think so. I
don't think there is. I justthink what happens when you're looking at a
big bonus, You just work yourass off and you get the bonus.
I also think that Newsome, becausethis isn't the first time Newsome did a
(17:53):
has done a victory lap on somethinglike this, like he did yesterday.
I think he out shoots them andsays so that he can come back and
say, oh, look we gotit done earlier than I expected. Now
I don't pay for this. Wasthis cal Transit paid for the whole thing?
It was a cal trans project.It ultimately was us, I'm sure.
(18:14):
Well yeah, but was it thecounty was if the city was it?
It may have been a combination butI think Amy has a very good
point. I didn't think about thatuntil she brought it up. M h.
Is there something officiate here? Maybe? But I don't think so.
I think that's just they're working theirass off. But then again, I'm
not as cynical as you are,Amy, right know, I know,
(18:36):
yeah, you are the ultimate cynicI know that, which is really strange
because my life is cynical. Allright. Los Angeles County has detected mosquitoes
carrying the West Nile virus. Yayyay la. Yeah, at least it's
East virus in the best yucky placenow has for the first times. The
(19:00):
problem is that there's you know,there's no vaccine for this stuff. Usually
you can get vaccines for a lotof this. Do they have a homeless
vaccine? Yeah? It's called money. Oh, you throw money at it.
You got money, A smaller house, You've got money. I did
(19:23):
get a smaller house, put othersmaller houses in it for the homeless,
because I will tell you, Isee people walking down the street every day
and I look at that person chewingrocks, and I go, all they
need is a house. Yeah,it's lovely. Uh So this may have
been caused by critical masks. Animalshelters are critically overcrowded in La County,
(19:48):
and there officials are saying that mayhave been a factor in what happened.
A senior LA City employee was mauledby a dog at a shelter in San
Pedro, and apparently Leslie Korea wasgetting a dog out of its kennel to
show to a rescue group when thedog just kind of flipped out and attacked
her. She's getting surgery at HarborUCLA Medical Center. But the shelters say
(20:11):
that the dogs are suffering physically andmentally from either their excessively long shelter time
or from the condition. The overcrowningis crazy. Yeah, I don't know
how many feral dogs there are outthere, but I mean the number of
people who actually get shelter dogs anddogs from the pound rescue dogs, it's
(20:34):
just enormous. Very few people Iknow go to breeders anymore. Well,
they're saying that the breeders are partof the problem, and not all of
them, but some of them becausethey have the puppy mills and stuff.
And when last time we were atPasadena Humane, it was filled with huskies,
beautiful huskies are you can't buy youknow, you can't buy a puppy
at a pet store anymore, andnot la They just don't let you.
(21:00):
Did the family take it or not? What the dog? Which dog?
It malled someone? No, I'msure it was put down. That's what
normally happens. Yeah, that dogdidn't survive after It'm all ay a worker
there at the shelter, Well,it's I say that the homeless will all
get a house in a free dog. Yeah, everybody's happy. Hey,
(21:22):
as if they need more problems.Live Nation is being investigate or investigated a
ticket Master because of a massive databreach and customer data apparently was offered on
the dark web. Yeah, thisis one of those companies when you talk
about monopolies and you've seen lawsuits youknow Google, while Google's is along this
(21:47):
line too. But Ticketmaster, Ithink has eighty percent of the market for
selling tickets in the US. Imean it is crazy. And yeah,
so they're getting nailed for monopoly,antitrust and now for this huge data breach.
But who doesn't experience data breaches anymore? If you were to sue everybody,
(22:10):
any company that experiences a data breach. That would be ninety five percent
of the companies. Yeah, justabout everybody, Yeah, just about everybody.
It's very tough. Rupert Murdoch hastaken the fifth his fifth wife,
very strong, very strong. Goodnight everybody. Yeah. Yeah, ninety
(22:32):
three years old, he's worth almostten billion dollars and just married sixty seven
year old retired molecular biologist Elena Zukhova. They got married over the weekend at
his vineyard in bel Air. Yeah, where's the room for a vineyard in
bel Air? Was it in belAir? It says bel Air. Yeah,
(22:53):
his vineyard in bel Air has Thathas to be a misprint. But
it's he's the guy who created FoxNews. You know that's Fox. He
owns the entire Fox or he's thewas the chairman of the entire Fox network,
movies, all of it. Andnow it's his son who runs it.
And they're still anyway. He is, he's always been a character.
(23:17):
He's Australian, started in Australia.We're gonna I'm gonna guess she's a blonde.
I'm not seeing her, she's notwhat And she didn't marry him for
the money. I'll tell you thatno, even though he's a billionaire.
Her dad is one of the oligarchs, so you know, yeah, well
they had a lot of stuff takenfrom them. No, she's the mother
(23:40):
of someone who was married to aRussian oligarch. All right, let's do
one more, all right. Apopular chain of Lego that sells Lego products.
The name of the place is Bricksand Minifigs for minifigures. Several of
(24:00):
their stores have been burglarized, totalof one hundred thousand dollars five stores,
about one hundred thousand dollars worth ofproduct, which tells you two things.
One people are a holes and twoLegos are expensive. Af Yeah, one
hundred thousand dollars worth of Legos.I mean that's a lot. It was
probably two packages of Star Wars legos. Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty pricey
(24:23):
stuff. And I didn't know.The story tells us I didn't know that
these are franchises that Legos stores.You can buy into a franchise for Lego
stores, and this is for reselling, right this. Oh no, sorry,
no, it's just a regular It'sjust a regular Lego store. Okay,
Yeah, I just walk in andthe guy those crazy figures yeah,
(24:45):
all right. Now I want topoint something out, guys, guys being
Amy and Neil and and we havefour stories left, and we're going to
go and we're gonna not of stories. Hold on a minute, So what
we have to do is do themvery slowly. You were also going to
(25:10):
correct yourself on the Murdoch story.I was thank you. It turned Amy,
You're absolutely right. There is awinery in bel Air and Murdoch owns
it. See, if you haveenough money, you can do wherever you
want. Yeah, and even betterthan that, the original the the winery
was owned on a piece of propertythat was owned by Victor Fleming. Victor
Fleming being one of the directors ofGone with the Wind. Uh, there
(25:34):
were many. He was given thecredit for it. If you look at
the titles, it's it's Victor Fleming, but he was brought in later on
Courtiz a director was also one ofthem'st fascinating story of Gone with the Wind.
But we don't get through one morestory. Okay, it's great history
(25:55):
about Gone with win Oh, thatis a great ooh ooh movie history.
Okay, fabulous and write that downpodcast time, okay, and I'll tell
you. I'll talk about it afterthe show, because there's some great history.
Okay, are we ready for handlingthe news now? Oh yeah,
why not? Okay, do notenter. That's the word from the Maldives.
(26:17):
They say they are banning Israeli passportholders from going into their country because
of the war on Hamas in Gaza. Great, wow, yeah, that's
tough. Well, the Maldivian presidentis kind of well, I would say
they're not big fans of Jews ingeneral, so so this gives them an
(26:41):
excuse. Yeah, you know,I mean the people are pretty upset about
it around the world on this Palestinianissue. Well, why are you're taking
it down on Israel? Well,because these are Israeli citizens and Israel's coming
from a country from there where theyjust don't want to deal with Israel in
any positive way. I'm making apolitical statement. Also, diving, you
(27:03):
know, it's world famous for diving, the mall thieves. I mean,
think about this mall dives. Huh. How's that for a little contradiction.
Okay, carry you. The onemale birth control jail is safe and effective,
so says these new trial findings.It's this hormonal solution meant to block
(27:30):
sperm production. The interesting thing isI'm told you kind of wipe it on
your shoulders, this gel on yourshoulders or something, and then it so
couldn't technically a woman just like,go baby, let me give you a
massage and then put this stuff inand swim. Neil, I don't think
you have that right. It's acneon your shoulders. You know. You
(27:53):
think you wipe it on your schwantz. No, yeah, I think it's
a schwanz wipe. I do believethat. And by the way, they
I don't even know why they dothis. I mean, we already have
male contraception, we have for years. This is just being married for more
than ten years, does it?And you're okay? So wait, no,
(28:14):
you interrupted this clear well, itwas going to be bad. We
all knew that. We're trying toget the information out. So you rub
this clear gel on your shoulders,you wait for it to dry to say
that. I mean, where amI missed the very first line of the
story every morning to logan white headtwenty four clear gel on his shoulders.
(28:37):
Fair enough? Fair enough? Ididn't read it carefully. My fault.
I hate when the info is buriedto the top. Yeah, that's work.
That's a good point. Wow,it's a listen, it's a Monday.
What can I do? I canmisread it, That's what I can
do. It's like that should bea poster of you as spaghetti topped on
your head, and it's like,it's a Monday. So the goat has
(29:03):
taken it a step further. SimoneBiles, the greatest of all time,
has won a record extending ninth allaround national title at the US Gymnastics Championships
yesterday. She led the field onevery apparatus after the first day went on
to win it. The National championsare the last event for US gymnasts before
the Olympic Trials, which happened laterin June. It is scary how brilliant
(29:29):
this woman is, how she hasabsolutely dominated this sport. The only comparison
is literally, I think Tiger Woodsand then he went south relatively quickly after
he had his craziness. Babe,Ruth, I mean we're talking in that
category of sportsperson I mean just insane. All right, we are done.
(29:52):
See, Actually we got through.It's pretty good. Yeah, So maybe
we try to get through the storeand then if we don't, then we
can talk afterwards. That's a verygood point. Okay, too late for
today, but KFIAM six forty liveeverywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You've been

good great way to start the show. Okay, morning everybody. Yes,
it is a Monday morning, Junethird. We're already into June, and
it is June. Gloom, gloom, June. Except I was looking at
the weather reports and by midweek wewere looking at a heat wave extraordinary coming
in Amy, Do I have thatright? What? The main heat wave
(01:04):
is going to be farther north andthe like the central Valleys can hit like
one o eight up to near onehundred in San Francisco, but probably warming
up here too. Okay, soI mis read it a little bit.
You know, I think it's gonnaget to the point where you're gonna do
and today's weather report. Your houseis going to burn down. That's it.
That's that's gonna be your weather report. We haven't had any really warm
(01:26):
weather yet this year. Well,the last place you want it is in
San Francisco, where it warms up, the the urine and the human feces.
Yeah, especially in the Tenderloin district. Oh yeah, ender Loin.
Indeed. Yeah, it's a littletough. And the problem is how much
(01:47):
vegetation. Veget vegetation is out therebecause of the rains. So it's wonderful
when the rains come and everything isgreen. The problem is we live in
California where everything green turns to brown, especially when it gets hot. It's
going to get hotter, it's goingto get it's going to there's more vegetation
(02:07):
to dry out. And you've gotwell, what's that fire going on right
now in the San Joaquin Valley.Yeah, in Tracy, Yeah, I
mean that is already. You watchthe news and it's just crazy because people,
of course they take their videos.Of course they whip out their phones
and everything is videoed and people aredriving down the highway with both sides on
(02:28):
fire, and it's just crazy.Well, that one, it's now about
fifty percent surrounded, so that's good. And the evacuation warnings are the evacuation
orders have been downgraded to warnings,and so far a couple of firefighters have
been hurt, but nobody else,I mean, right now, that's good
news. And of course it alldeals with how much wind there is,
(02:49):
all right, So good morning,Amy, Hi, and good morning Neil,
Good morning, Willie Wolf having goodMonday morning. Good morning, and
Kno, the A team is here, Good morning. Who's mister T in

when a plan doesn't come together.Yeah, it all looks out, all
right. I asked Ann what shedid over the weekend? Did she work
at Staples? And she didn't allthose does? I don't work at Staples.
But I'm I'm sorry, so Fie, I apologize, okay, And
(03:31):
I asked Anne, and Anne,can we share this story about your daughter?
Oh? Sure, I share itwith Amy too, Yeah, you
quickly, it's great story. Yeahgreat, No, No, my daughter
we have a horse, and soshe was out visiting it this on Saturday,
and she had pulled her car upto the pastor that he was at
and pulled him out and started groominghim, and something spooked him, and
(03:53):
so he decided to start backing upand backed into her car, flipped over,
fell on his back, and kickedout the rear window, bashed in
her the back of her car andthe side of her car, and he's
okay, I mean he's got somegashes on his leg. Now, Insurance,
(04:13):
I will certainly pay for the carbecause you have comprehensive Will insurance pay
for the vets bills? Absolutely not. Yeah, I don't think she will
be there. Yeah, all right, that's again. Was your weekend?
Amy? Your weekend? Yeah?I had a car wreck this weekend.
Oh really, it wasn't a wreckwreck, but it was. Yeah.
We were heading to Disneyland on Saturdaymorning as sep surprise, surprise, and
(04:34):
we were in the h in theline to get into the parking structure and
I got rear ended. You gotrear ended. Yeah, put your hand
behind your neck and right now andstart moaning. Oh, thank you.
And I want you to talk tome right after the show because I have
a website for you to go toYou don't know how badly injured you are.
(04:57):
Uh, and you're not going toknow until after you and I have
a conversation. Okay, yeah,trash my bumper, but otherwise all right,
Neil. But by the way,and that you'd be surprised how many
people file lawsuits on that one,Neil, Good morning, Good morning.
So I had a I was snackingon the taco and got spooked and I
kicked the window out of the backof my car. Too very strong,
(05:20):
very strong, all right, andcodo last, but certainly least. I
was going to drive through and Iwas behind a horse. Actually, well,
there you go, there you go. And I went to France.
I went to France and guess whatI ate for dinner? No, you
know what I did? Hey,they do that, they do that,
you can I I had a hamburgeronce in Mexico. Then I'm pretty sure
(05:45):
was not be Yeah, let metell you something. I'm pretty sure I
had that same hamburger and you couldsay heal, and it would do tricks.
The Hamburger would do it a littlesweeter. Now, but you know,
and then just real quick before wego, you know, I'm remodeling
this house or I'm doing some remodelingin this new house. So I went
(06:06):
to a showroom, plumbing showroom,and I was looking at toilets, and
you know it's you can understand.You know you can't use the toilet.
I get you, because it's notplugged in. But I'll tell you what
you also cannot do. I foundout you cannot try the toilet seat on,
and the only way you really knowis to pull your pants down and
(06:27):
sit on it to see how yourass hunkers down and how comfortable it's going
to be because you know you're goingto use it for a long time.
That is not well received by thestaff there. I must tell you,
no, No, I could seewhere that would be a problem. I
should have taken a photo. Well, the guy should have had. I
should have taken a photo because itwas hugely entertaining. Okay, guys,
(06:50):
let's do it. Okay, we'restarting on a Monday, June third.
Handle on the news. By theway, that's true. That not just
to let you know I should havetaken a photo. Let's do it.
Handle on the news, Amy Neiland me lead story well Middle East News
(07:12):
and a to Benjamin Natonna, whosaid that Yeah, they're accepting a framework
deal. And this is the dealbetween Israel and gazin Hamas advanced by Joe
Biden. Nobody likes it, whichmeans it's probably gonna come down. Israel
has to give up. It's we'regoing to destroy Hamas. Hamas has to
(07:33):
give up at this point, totaland complete withdrawal until its demands are bet.
And you see, this is aneasy one, I think. And
if I had to do it,and here's what I would say, and
that is, you're not gonna geta rid of Hamas. That will never
happen. Hamas will never ever giveup its power and Gaza ever, However,
(07:59):
the other side is it doesn't matterbecause Hamas is not in a position
to ever do that attack again Octoberseventh attack. If I were the king
of the world, if I wereIsrael, if I were in Neta Yahu,
and there's all kinds of political reasonswhy he can't do this or even
accept this deal. Maybe is realsimple, Okay, Hamas, You've got
(08:22):
Gaza fair enough, We're gonna getthe hell out of there. One more
attack, just one like the onethat happened October second, or even close
to it. Gaza will be utterlydestroyed. There will not be a building
left in Gaza. We will flattenthe entire area. If that's what you're
willing to pay, If you're willingto pay the price for that, go
(08:46):
for it. And well, ofcourse Hamas will go for it, because
Hamas, you know, I mean, they don't care, They don't care
about the people they live in thosetunnels. And there'll be nothing. It'll
be dystopian, it'll be just nothingwill be up above. Is not going
to happen. No, they wouldn'tsay that, but it may come to
an end. And then the hostages, how many are still alive because they're
discovering bodies like crazy, rescuing quotebodies. All right, let's continue on.
(09:11):
We'll talk more about this later.Don't go in a WATA, at
least not at del Mar, whichyou pretty much can't because they put up
sign saying don't go in the water. Because the guy was bitten by a
shark yesterday morning. Happened about onehundred miles off shore. This is in
northern San Diego County at del MarBeach. Apparently this guy goes swimming with
a bunch of people pretty regularly theydo their training, and shark came up
(09:37):
bit him. He has bites tohis torso, his left arm, arm
hand, and possibly his chin.And he used to have a deep bass
voice. Okay, his balls aregone as open. I don't think that
that's where he was bit Oh hihurts. Anyway, he's expected to be.
(09:58):
Okay, they should put signs upthat says all you can eat brunch
buffet. Bad news. You're thebuffet, well said, all right,
let's take a break, guys,and we will come back. Klono's the
only the only one that laughs atthis stuff. You know, no one
else thinks this stuff is funny.Uh drunk, Huh, he's drunk.
(10:22):
The president Mexico has elected Claudia shinebamba former mayor of the Capitol as as
the country's first female president. Hedid big time. He did election on
Sunday. Even add some some hubbubhere at the consulate as well, the
Mexico's consulate here in Los Angeles.But big doings. Yeah. Interesting woman,
(10:46):
Jewish woman and this is a Catholiccountry, I mean just a hugely
Catholic country and a woman. Butshe's simply next Obada daughter. That's he's
been her mentor, and she saidthe policies are going to stay this basically
the same. So you're not goingto see very much because it's been doing
so well. Yeah, well she'sgoing to go a little bit more.
(11:09):
The big issue, as you wouldthink, is crime in Mexico. A
third of Mexico is controlled by thecartels. I mean, it's just it's
crazy, just crazy. So we'llsee how she does. You'll see,
well, I could go on andon with this, but it's it's not
politically, it's not going to bea big deal. I don't think in
(11:31):
terms of policy differences. Now whatyou may see is and the Obrador started
this a crackdown on that side ofthe border. That's going to help our
immigration problem because Mexico can do alot. For example, those trains that
have thousands of people hanging off andon top on top of them, those
(11:52):
major caravans, Mexico puts stop tothem, right now, Ostia the Beast,
Yeah, yeah, they could doit. And it's starting to go
all right. Last week it wasTrump trial. This weekend or this week
it's a Biden trial. Jury selectiongets underweight today in Delaware. Hunter Biden
(12:13):
is facing three criminal counts of allegedlybuying a gun while he was addicted to
crack cocaine. And the problem withhim doing those two things is he lied
on a federal tax or a federalform. Yeah, he's getting nailed for
it. And now do we havepolitics, of course, because it's Joe
Biden's son, and the argument isgoing to be, and here is what
(12:35):
you're going to hear. They're nottrying him for his real crime, and
that is taking money and having hisdad be part of this corrupt scandal where
Joe Biden got five million dollars fromthe government of Ukraine. I mean we've
heard that over and over again fromparticularly from Republicans Comer for example, one
(12:58):
of them in the House. Andno proof, of course, not I
mean zero proof, just the allegation. And he asked, where's the five
million dollar check. Well, wehave it, but we'll show it to
you when it's appropriate. When's appropriate. I will decide when it's appropriate.
And so the politics of this,it's real simple. Would anybody else get
nailed on this and go to trial? Probably not. But sometimes these cases
(13:22):
are so so high profile you can'teven take a plea. You've got to
go for it. I hope theynail him, and then Biden and Trump
share a cell. Uh yeah,and they and they and it becomes a
new reality show. And he's notgoing to do any prison time. Yeah,
(13:43):
it's very funny. That is veryfunny. You know. I thought
about this over the weekend. Andsince Trump is going to be in front
of Mershan the judge who oversaw thecase and first sentencing, and this comes
up July eleventh, and Trump hasover and over again derided the judge and
(14:03):
called him conflicted and basically called himevery name. And you think he is
crazy to say that about a judgewho is going to sentence him, Who
in their right mind would do that. It's actually a brilliant move. You
know why merchan is Mershawn is goingto have to bend over backwards the other
way to show he was not influencedby what Trump said about him. Yeah.
(14:28):
Yeah, I think he has toprove the other side. Actually,
it was a pretty good move Trump, I got to tell you. You
know, for all everything everybody dislikesabout Trump Man, he you know,
some of the stuff he does,whether it's planned or not, I think
is absolutely brilliant. Look at thispolitical move he's got hit. The MAGA
supporters are screaming about it's been robbed, and you know it's been rigged.
(14:52):
And not only the MEGA people sayingit. Yeah, I know a lot
of them. About fifty percent ofAmericans You're right about think that not so
much. It was rigged. Maybeit was a witch hunt, it was
a witch Well, I have totell you, Alvin Bragg Democrat, there
is no issue there. Politics allover it, notwithstanding any crime that could
or could not have been committed.One that argument is true. Now this
(15:16):
is this is not a guy whowas independently minded. It was truly,
truly politically motivated that by the waythey they they don't have to be mutually
exclusive exclusive. You can have acrime and go after it with politics being
part of it, which I thinkhappened in New York. All right,
good night. Right, let's gofrom that poop to this poop. North
(15:39):
Korea said that it was stopping sendingits trash and poop filled balloons to South
Korea after Soul reported hundreds more airbornewaste deliveries floating across the border. Oh
man, I love how we arein like the highest tech time of our
lives. And someone in some roomin North Korea said, you know what
(16:03):
we're doing. We're gonna put fecesand stuff in balloons. We're just gonna
send it over to them. Andeveryone went, hey, that's a great
idea. Not drones, nothing special, just poop balloons. Oh they stopped
it few hundred and that we're done. Well, how many poop balloons do
you need to land in your countrybefore? Well, South Korea is a
(16:26):
big country and poop balloons aren't thatbig. You know what, we should
send poop balloons somewhere. Yeah,see if we get press. Okay,
Uh, this makes me kind ofwonder because I'm cynical that way. Was
there a financial incentive on this one? But that stretch of to Panga Canyon
(16:47):
Boulevard that's been closed since early Marchbecause of the storm and the mud and
debrief flow of flows that followed openedon Sunday about ninety days ahead of schedule,
which is great news that you know. That is an excellent question,
Amy, because all of these contractsunder these circumstances have acceleration clauses. Bonuses
(17:08):
happen for every day you are underschedule. Traditionally it happened on the ten
Freeway during the earthquake. It happenedwith the bridge that was built over the
four h five. Remember that fromone side to the other. They took
down the bridge and built another oneunder schedule, and they shut down the
(17:30):
entire freeway for X number of days, way sooner it came back than it
should. It was rebuilt and bonusescame in like crazy. And were is
there any kind of a plan orprogram? I don't think so. I
don't think there is. I justthink what happens when you're looking at a
big bonus, You just work yourass off and you get the bonus.
I also think that Newsome, becausethis isn't the first time Newsome did a
(17:53):
has done a victory lap on somethinglike this, like he did yesterday.
I think he out shoots them andsays so that he can come back and
say, oh, look we gotit done earlier than I expected. Now
I don't pay for this. Wasthis cal Transit paid for the whole thing?
It was a cal trans project.It ultimately was us, I'm sure.
(18:14):
Well yeah, but was it thecounty was if the city was it?
It may have been a combination butI think Amy has a very good
point. I didn't think about thatuntil she brought it up. M h.
Is there something officiate here? Maybe? But I don't think so.
I think that's just they're working theirass off. But then again, I'm
not as cynical as you are,Amy, right know, I know,
(18:36):
yeah, you are the ultimate cynicI know that, which is really strange
because my life is cynical. Allright. Los Angeles County has detected mosquitoes
carrying the West Nile virus. Yayyay la. Yeah, at least it's
East virus in the best yucky placenow has for the first times. The
(19:00):
problem is that there's you know,there's no vaccine for this stuff. Usually
you can get vaccines for a lotof this. Do they have a homeless
vaccine? Yeah? It's called money. Oh, you throw money at it.
You got money, A smaller house, You've got money. I did
(19:23):
get a smaller house, put othersmaller houses in it for the homeless,
because I will tell you, Isee people walking down the street every day
and I look at that person chewingrocks, and I go, all they
need is a house. Yeah,it's lovely. Uh So this may have
been caused by critical masks. Animalshelters are critically overcrowded in La County,
(19:48):
and there officials are saying that mayhave been a factor in what happened.
A senior LA City employee was mauledby a dog at a shelter in San
Pedro, and apparently Leslie Korea wasgetting a dog out of its kennel to
show to a rescue group when thedog just kind of flipped out and attacked
her. She's getting surgery at HarborUCLA Medical Center. But the shelters say
(20:11):
that the dogs are suffering physically andmentally from either their excessively long shelter time
or from the condition. The overcrowningis crazy. Yeah, I don't know
how many feral dogs there are outthere, but I mean the number of
people who actually get shelter dogs anddogs from the pound rescue dogs, it's
(20:34):
just enormous. Very few people Iknow go to breeders anymore. Well,
they're saying that the breeders are partof the problem, and not all of
them, but some of them becausethey have the puppy mills and stuff.
And when last time we were atPasadena Humane, it was filled with huskies,
beautiful huskies are you can't buy youknow, you can't buy a puppy
at a pet store anymore, andnot la They just don't let you.
(21:00):
Did the family take it or not? What the dog? Which dog?
It malled someone? No, I'msure it was put down. That's what
normally happens. Yeah, that dogdidn't survive after It'm all ay a worker
there at the shelter, Well,it's I say that the homeless will all
get a house in a free dog. Yeah, everybody's happy. Hey,
(21:22):
as if they need more problems.Live Nation is being investigate or investigated a
ticket Master because of a massive databreach and customer data apparently was offered on
the dark web. Yeah, thisis one of those companies when you talk
about monopolies and you've seen lawsuits youknow Google, while Google's is along this
(21:47):
line too. But Ticketmaster, Ithink has eighty percent of the market for
selling tickets in the US. Imean it is crazy. And yeah,
so they're getting nailed for monopoly,antitrust and now for this huge data breach.
But who doesn't experience data breaches anymore? If you were to sue everybody,
(22:10):
any company that experiences a data breach. That would be ninety five percent
of the companies. Yeah, justabout everybody, Yeah, just about everybody.
It's very tough. Rupert Murdoch hastaken the fifth his fifth wife,
very strong, very strong. Goodnight everybody. Yeah. Yeah, ninety
(22:32):
three years old, he's worth almostten billion dollars and just married sixty seven
year old retired molecular biologist Elena Zukhova. They got married over the weekend at
his vineyard in bel Air. Yeah, where's the room for a vineyard in
bel Air? Was it in belAir? It says bel Air. Yeah,
(22:53):
his vineyard in bel Air has Thathas to be a misprint. But
it's he's the guy who created FoxNews. You know that's Fox. He
owns the entire Fox or he's thewas the chairman of the entire Fox network,
movies, all of it. Andnow it's his son who runs it.
And they're still anyway. He is, he's always been a character.
(23:17):
He's Australian, started in Australia.We're gonna I'm gonna guess she's a blonde.
I'm not seeing her, she's notwhat And she didn't marry him for
the money. I'll tell you thatno, even though he's a billionaire.
Her dad is one of the oligarchs, so you know, yeah, well
they had a lot of stuff takenfrom them. No, she's the mother
(23:40):
of someone who was married to aRussian oligarch. All right, let's do
one more, all right. Apopular chain of Lego that sells Lego products.
The name of the place is Bricksand Minifigs for minifigures. Several of
(24:00):
their stores have been burglarized, totalof one hundred thousand dollars five stores,
about one hundred thousand dollars worth ofproduct, which tells you two things.
One people are a holes and twoLegos are expensive. Af Yeah, one
hundred thousand dollars worth of Legos.I mean that's a lot. It was
probably two packages of Star Wars legos. Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty pricey
(24:23):
stuff. And I didn't know.The story tells us I didn't know that
these are franchises that Legos stores.You can buy into a franchise for Lego
stores, and this is for reselling, right this. Oh no, sorry,
no, it's just a regular It'sjust a regular Lego store. Okay,
Yeah, I just walk in andthe guy those crazy figures yeah,
(24:45):
all right. Now I want topoint something out, guys, guys being
Amy and Neil and and we havefour stories left, and we're going to
go and we're gonna not of stories. Hold on a minute, So what
we have to do is do themvery slowly. You were also going to
(25:10):
correct yourself on the Murdoch story.I was thank you. It turned Amy,
You're absolutely right. There is awinery in bel Air and Murdoch owns
it. See, if you haveenough money, you can do wherever you
want. Yeah, and even betterthan that, the original the the winery
was owned on a piece of propertythat was owned by Victor Fleming. Victor
Fleming being one of the directors ofGone with the Wind. Uh, there
(25:34):
were many. He was given thecredit for it. If you look at
the titles, it's it's Victor Fleming, but he was brought in later on
Courtiz a director was also one ofthem'st fascinating story of Gone with the Wind.
But we don't get through one morestory. Okay, it's great history
(25:55):
about Gone with win Oh, thatis a great ooh ooh movie history.
Okay, fabulous and write that downpodcast time, okay, and I'll tell
you. I'll talk about it afterthe show, because there's some great history.
Okay, are we ready for handlingthe news now? Oh yeah,
why not? Okay, do notenter. That's the word from the Maldives.
(26:17):
They say they are banning Israeli passportholders from going into their country because
of the war on Hamas in Gaza. Great, wow, yeah, that's
tough. Well, the Maldivian presidentis kind of well, I would say
they're not big fans of Jews ingeneral, so so this gives them an
(26:41):
excuse. Yeah, you know,I mean the people are pretty upset about
it around the world on this Palestinianissue. Well, why are you're taking
it down on Israel? Well,because these are Israeli citizens and Israel's coming
from a country from there where theyjust don't want to deal with Israel in
any positive way. I'm making apolitical statement. Also, diving, you
(27:03):
know, it's world famous for diving, the mall thieves. I mean,
think about this mall dives. Huh. How's that for a little contradiction.
Okay, carry you. The onemale birth control jail is safe and effective,
so says these new trial findings.It's this hormonal solution meant to block
(27:30):
sperm production. The interesting thing isI'm told you kind of wipe it on
your shoulders, this gel on yourshoulders or something, and then it so
couldn't technically a woman just like,go baby, let me give you a
massage and then put this stuff inand swim. Neil, I don't think
you have that right. It's acneon your shoulders. You know. You
(27:53):
think you wipe it on your schwantz. No, yeah, I think it's
a schwanz wipe. I do believethat. And by the way, they
I don't even know why they dothis. I mean, we already have
male contraception, we have for years. This is just being married for more
than ten years, does it?And you're okay? So wait, no,
(28:14):
you interrupted this clear well, itwas going to be bad. We
all knew that. We're trying toget the information out. So you rub
this clear gel on your shoulders,you wait for it to dry to say
that. I mean, where amI missed the very first line of the
story every morning to logan white headtwenty four clear gel on his shoulders.
(28:37):
Fair enough? Fair enough? Ididn't read it carefully. My fault.
I hate when the info is buriedto the top. Yeah, that's work.
That's a good point. Wow,it's a listen, it's a Monday.
What can I do? I canmisread it, That's what I can
do. It's like that should bea poster of you as spaghetti topped on
your head, and it's like,it's a Monday. So the goat has
(29:03):
taken it a step further. SimoneBiles, the greatest of all time,
has won a record extending ninth allaround national title at the US Gymnastics Championships
yesterday. She led the field onevery apparatus after the first day went on
to win it. The National championsare the last event for US gymnasts before
the Olympic Trials, which happened laterin June. It is scary how brilliant
(29:29):
this woman is, how she hasabsolutely dominated this sport. The only comparison
is literally, I think Tiger Woodsand then he went south relatively quickly after
he had his craziness. Babe,Ruth, I mean we're talking in that
category of sportsperson I mean just insane. All right, we are done.
(29:52):
See, Actually we got through.It's pretty good. Yeah, So maybe
we try to get through the storeand then if we don't, then we
can talk afterwards. That's a verygood point. Okay, too late for
