good. Now use the extra basefor what do you need such a high
quality if you're listening to books ontape. I don't know, but it's
really good, you know. Ijust I was commenced to do it,
(02:40):
so the I guess the advertising worked, all right. Good morning, Amy,
Hi, Bill, All right,very happy camper and good morning.
Hi, good morning. Oh yeah, conos Hello Bill, Hello, everybody's
a happy kid. Okay, Ohbefore we get started, a quick word
(03:04):
and I'm inviting you to join me. And that is Saturday evening, June
twenty two at the Walt Disney ConcertHall. And I do this every year.
This is the Lawyer's Philharmonic La LawyersPhilharmonic. Gary Green, who is
a friend of mine, is theconductor working attorney because this is all attorneys
and judges, people in the legalfield who actually want to make a living
(03:25):
so they went into law. Theworld class musicians and you have legal voices,
the choir. Anyways, I amc the whole thing, and it
is two things. Seeing me inTaxedo, me making an ass out of
myself is well worth it. Soand the music is just terrific. And
it's everything from show tunes to classicalto pop songs. I mean all of
(03:47):
it, music from the movies.So anyway, you can go to La
Lawyers phil dot org La lawyersphil dotorgan. It is a charity for the
benefit of people who cannot afford legalhelp, which by the way, is
everybody. I just want to pointthis out, so it's for the benefit
of everybody. Okay, guys,ready to do it. Yes, Juliani
(04:13):
turned down the gig every year.Every year he turned Yeah, every year.
And it's kind of fun, youknow, backstage at the concert hall
because you can't hear anything. I'venever actually heard one of those concerts.
Oh, I've been in the audiencewith you many times. We'd watching umc
it it's it is truly words,it's beautiful, nicely said, nicely said.
(04:39):
Okay, guys, let's do.It's time for handle on the news
on this Tuesday morning, June eleven, with Amy and Neil and me lead
story. Come well, the UNSecurity Council has approved its first resolution endorsing
a ceasefire plan that was the onethat was being pitched or is being pitched
(05:00):
by Biden. US sponsored resolution approvedfourteen to four to fourteen out of fifteen.
Russia abstaining, didn't even vote againstit, just abstained. And it
calls on Israel and Tramas to implementceasefire without delay. And is it going
(05:23):
to happen now? Not really.Israel is a lot closer to its position
to getting this thing over with fortwo reasons, One, Netanyahu is about
to lose a lot of his power, especially if the government fails. And
two, I think enough people inIsrael or enough people in government are starting
(05:45):
to realize you're not going to getrid of Aramas. That's an impossibility.
Now have they degraded? Are theydegraded in their military prowess? Of course?
Are they going to be able todo another October seventh? Probably not,
but that's not going to happen.And then the political pressure, oh
my goodness, political pressure on theside of the families and supporters of the
(06:08):
families of the hostages are every daythousands and thousands of demonstrators, give Hamas
whatever it wants. We want ourfamilies back, we want the hostages back.
And you can't blame them at all. These are loved ones. I
mean, how do you blame thosepeople? Okay, appeers? There could
(06:30):
have been war crimes on both sides. The Human Rights Office for the United
Nations is citing possible war crimes byIsraeli forces and Palestinian groups in connection with
the raid by Israeli forces that freedfour hostages over the weekend. Palestinian health
officials, the Gods of Health Ministrysays at least two hundred and seventy four
(06:51):
Palestinians, including dozens of women andchildren, were killed in the operation that
saved the lives of the four hostages. And I've brought this set before since
both sides are committee war crimes accordingto the UN, and that is Hamas
embedding itself in civilians and Israel goingafter Hamas in those areas where there are
(07:15):
civilians. Where do you go withthis? If Israel agrees not to attack
Hamas that are in civilian areas andthat's all the only place they are wars
over, Israel's just pulled out.Okay, we quit, We have no
choice. And so it's where doyou win on this one? And Hamas
(07:35):
is not willing to give up itspower. Hamas is being very intransigent,
and Israel's coming close to the table. But at the same time, the
Tanyahu and his government just does notwant to give Hamas any breathing room.
They want to decimate Hamas. It'llalways be there. So and then so
(07:57):
what happens Palestinian The civilians are caughtin the crossfire, and these children and
these men, innocent men and women, kids end up dying. I mean
by the thousands, well over thirtysix thousand, but that includes a militant,
so I don't count them. Solet's say two thirds of the people
that have died are innocent. Okay, let's go ahead and take a break,
(08:20):
and we're going to get through thisa little quicker because we got lots
of stories. I spent off onthis stuff with the Israel kamas War.
I have friends in Israel. Ihave been to all those areas. My
kids were bought mitzvah in Israel,you know how they do the bot mitzvahs
and thirteen years old, and theparents spent a fortune on those parties.
(08:45):
My kids were up at Masada wherethey got theirs and the rabbi, by
the way, quick story, therabbi who had more nosehars than any human
being I have ever met my life. He could have grown a walrus mustache
with the hairs coming out of hisnos. I know, I know.
That's my memory of my kids beingbought mitzvad. Did you have payas coming
(09:07):
out of on Masada? It wasjust horrible, all right. Rebecca Grossman
the socialite, and for those playingthe home game, socialite means rich white
woman, with no job, convictedof striking and killing two boys while driving
under the influence in Westlake Village Beckin twenty twenty. She was sentenced to
fifteen years to life in prison yesterday. She's sixty years old. She was
(09:33):
found guilty in February. Sentence justyesterday, but more a lot of people
were hoping. I was hoping forthe thirty four years to like, yeah,
well, that doesn't mean she's notgoing to get a whole lot of
years. It's when she's eligible forparole, because when you have two life
that means they can go on anddeny parole forever. So she I guess,
(09:54):
and I'm not familiar with the toofamiliar with the parole system, but
half off for or good behavior inCalifornia. So theoretically she is up in
what eight years she can ask forparole. But with the crime this vicious,
I don't think she's going to getit. Process won full thirty four
(10:18):
too young, too young in acrosswalk, and then lied about it and
then show all of it, Imean all of it. So I think
parole board is gonna have a toughtime with her. A two of deliberations
the jury in the Hunter Biden federalgun trial deliberated for less than an hour
(10:39):
yesterday. The twelve jury members havefor the past week heard vivid personal details
about President Biden's family. They willcontinue their deliberations this morning. That's it.
Huh yep, that's it. That'sbasically it. We're going to see
what happens. I mean, there'sa lot more to the story, but
that's basically yet. So we'll seehow long. It's only been an hour
(11:01):
of deliberations. So, and whatis it If it's if it's a fast
verdict, that's generally not good forthe defense, that's right. Well,
here here are the rules. Ifit's a fast verdict, it's not good
for the defense, or it isgood for the defense. If it is
a lengthy verdict, it is alsonot particularly good for the prosecution, but
(11:22):
maybe good for the defense. Doesthat help? Yeah, gosh, it's
almost like we're it's fast forward toSaturday, Saturday morning. Yeah, he'll
give the most detailed answer then go. But I don't know. Yeah,
okay, So this is a strangestory. Chinese police they've detained a suspect
(11:43):
in a stabbing attack on four instructorsfrom Iowa's Cornell College who were teaching at
a Chinese university, and apparently theybumped into some guy and the guy started
stabbing him and the rest of theguy. But that is weird. We
haven't figured out or they haven't figuredout or told us what's going on.
(12:05):
The good news is that all ofthe stabs are expected to survive, so
there were no fatalities there. Stabby, well the recipients of this point.
Yeah, so they eat bumped intothe foreigner, stabbed the foreigner, then
three other foreigners who were with him, then also stabbed a Chinese person who
approached him. So this is it'smore than three. This is a mass
(12:28):
stabbing. It is a mass stabbing. We got to get rid, but
they're going to survive. I gottahave noo control. Yeah. Well,
oh, there's a story about thatcoming up too, a little bit later
on those mess stabbings every once.We may soon have two for the price
of one. There could be acombined COVID nineteen flu shot in the future.
(12:48):
Won't get here in time for thisyear's flu season, but Moderna's testing
it and says they've had positive latestage trial results for the covid flu combination
vacs. I'm not even going totell you the name of it because you
won't remember it. They say thatthe late stage trial has had breakthrough results.
This is indicative of something that JimKeeney and I have been talking about
(13:13):
for several years now, and thisis two things are happening. Number One,
COVID is going to become or hasbecome endemic, which means it's simply
part of our life now. It'sthere now, thank goodness. The deadliness
of it, the ability to killpeople is way way down, so most
(13:33):
people survive. But it's going tobe an annual shot you take, like
the flu shot, because it mutates, and so it's going to be a
double hit. It's like kids withthe MMR shot months measles rubella the MMR
shots or is that the MMRP monthsmonths reubella measles parvo? I don't know.
(13:58):
Isn't parvo for docs? Uh?Yeah, okay, that's because Bill
hasn't gotten his shot for his AARP. Oh yeah, And then you can
add D in there for distemper.Yeah. There's a lot of a lot
of good vaccines out there, allright. So a left wing activist Lauren
Windsor who described herself as a documentaryfilmmaker, who said she made recordings.
(14:24):
During a dinner hosted by the SupremeCourt Historical Society last week, she said
that she has secret recordings of SupremeCourt Justice Samuel Alito and his wife,
as well as Chief Justice John Roberts, discussing a range of politically sensitive topics.
She basically pretended to be secretly shewas at this judge's conference, and
(14:48):
she secretly taped them. Alito completely, This is no surprising. Endorsed her
suggestion that quote, people in thiscountry who believe in God have to keep
fighting for that to return our countryto a place of godliness. Wow,
this is the Supreme Court justice.Yeah. But you know what's great is
that she had a conversation that sherecorded with Chief Justice John Roberts where she's,
(15:13):
you know, she's basically trying toset them up, and she says,
but that's not the point. Well, you know, but she says,
she goes, you know, theSupreme Court should guide the US as
in time got but she responds,but he responds and he said, yeah,
I don't know that we live ina Christian nation. I know a
lot of Jewish and Muslim friends,we say maybe not, and then Roberts,
(15:35):
yes, but not our job todo that. That's Roberts who said
that the Chief Justice Alito is theone that said yes, Christian nation and
all that. I mean this iswell, we knew that about Alito.
Upside down flag, all that business. Oh no, no, my wife
did it all well. The bottomline is Supreme Court Justice believes in Christian
values more so than in the Constitution, or thinks the Constitute should be based
(16:00):
on Christian values. It's not religionhas no part of determining who it is
and is. Chief Justice Roberts said, it's not our job to do that.
It's our job to decide the caseis as best we can, eliminating
the religious part. No, nosurprise. Alito is just basically a right
(16:22):
wing think a nutcase. I thinkso. I think he's dangerous stuff my
opinion. I believe his argument thatthe flag was right side up, but
he accidentally turned his house over Wellsaid, it's about as good as I've
heard. Well, this woman hasgone nuts over no nuts. So a
woman in New York went to acold Stone creamery in July of twenty twenty
(16:45):
two. So two years ago shegot a scoop of pistachio ice cream.
She said she reasonably believed that thepistachio ice cream she purchased contained pistachio,
but then she went on the company'swebsite and looked into it a little bit
and said, there are no pistachiosin this pistachio ice cream, but it's
(17:06):
pistachio flavoring. So she has fileda class action lawsuit against Coldstone Creamery for
deceptive advertising and other stuff. Yeah, well, she's asked for a certification
because you need to for a classaction suit, you first have to have
it certified by a judge who letsyou go forward. I don't know where
she is on that one, buta couple of things I want to point
(17:27):
out legally. First of all,Coldstone Creamery, why would you expect pistachio
in pistachio ice cream? I mean, just doesn't go. Also, I'd
like to see their menu where itsaid does it say pistachio flavored, because
it does on their website. Now, if it says on the menu up
(17:48):
on the menu in the store pistachioflavored, She's got no place to go
if it just says pistachio ice cream, then it's a different story. Also,
if you ever go to Stone here'stheir defense. I think it's gonna
win. You go to Coldstone Creameryand you'll see like what looks like a
fly in there. You know,you think it's a bug. It's a
(18:11):
little tiny piece of pistachio, whichthey can defend and say there is pistachio
in our pistacheo ice cream. Justlook at that little little tiny dot right
there. I would like a doublescoop of the mustachio got with the hair,
Yes, delicious from you? Yeah? Yeah, no hair from the
(18:36):
rabbit. No. But I thinkif it turns out, this may be
a good class action lawsuit against StoneCold. Yeah, I'll tell you why,
because they caught. Listen, theycall it pistachio ice cream with no
pistachio on their website though it sayspistachio flavoring. That's why I want.
But who looks at their website.You go to a plastie creamery. Uh,
(18:59):
that's why I said. When yougo there and order pistachio ice cream
and if it says pistachio flavored,she's got no place to go. But
if it says it's pistachio ice cream, and there's no pistachio. There's a
difference between pistachio and pistachio flavoring,and I think that is I think it
(19:21):
may be a legitimate lawsuit. Therehave been plenty out there. I know
this sounds ridiculous. Ten sends it'sa female pistachio, so there's no nuts.
Very well said. So anyway,yeah, I know, Amy,
you look askance on this side.Can you believe that somebody would sue for
five million dollars for this? Areactually rule in favor of them and find
(19:41):
them a dollar? Yeah, wellthat's the case. What ends up happening
is the court does rule and givethe plaintiffs, all of them in the
class, ten cents or a couponfor a free scoop or something. The
lawyers collect millions and millions of dollars. That's who makes the money, not
the plaintiffs. No one ice cream, Okay. Marjorie Taylor Green compares Trump
(20:08):
to Jesus at Las Vegas rally.Let's give her a little listen, shall
we. Oh? President Trump isa convicted felon. Well, you want
to know something. The man thatI worship is also a convicted felon.
What Yeah, she worships Trump.Right, Well, they're also there are
(20:30):
also other areas where you can comparethe two. Legitimately, Jesus said I
am King of the Jews, orhe was accused of being king of the
Jews, and I think he admittedto it. Trump says I am king
of the world. She didn't sayI'm king of the world. No,
(20:51):
But what I'm saying is, let'ssay, I'm getting a little hyperbolic,
but I mean, come on,Trump, you never Yeah. She also
said that he was murdered on aRoman cross. I will tell you this.
First of all, felonies didn't existuntil like what seventeen something. So
it was a political crime. Itwas treason. It was true against against
(21:15):
the Roman Empire. Yeah, therewasn't. It wasn't a felony in that
sense. It was a it wastreason. It was a crime against the
government. Okay, anyway, it'sMarjorie Taylor Green going out of her mind
as always. You know, doyou want to yell b Rabbis a couple
of times before we go that's uhyeah, yeah. And Nelson Mandela,
(21:36):
let's not forget that too. Shecompared Trump to Nelson Mandela m Okay,
so this I don't get this.It's not going to bring anybody back.
But the families of the children whosurvived the rob Elementary mass shooting and the
parents of the children who died andfiled a lawsuit against UPS and FedEx,
(21:56):
claiming the shipping companies played a partin the massacre because they transported the rifle
and trigger accessories to the shooter.Yeah. Now it's you know, that
sounds stupid on its face to argueabout FedEx and UPS or in terms of
shipping those weapons which can be shipped, But what they are the plaintiffs are
(22:21):
arguing here is that FedEx delivered theAR fifteen rifle to a place where the
shooter picked up the firearm. Andif you look at FedEx policy, no
weapons are allowed to be shipped.And what FedEx is going to say is
do we have to x ray everysingle package that goes through everyone? And
(22:45):
I guess if you asked the plaintiffshere, the answer is yes. Wouldn't
it be suing the person who putit in a FedEx box or a UPS
box and tried to against policy?Well, it's you know, again,
I don't know about that. Idon't know all the intricate seasons. What
about that? I don't know whodid I don't know who did what.
(23:07):
But you know that arms ship allthe time. How do they how do
how does the gun store get aweapon? It has to be shipped,
it has to be shipped. Andwhat if there's a trunk trucking company took
it off a palette? And thenwhat about the cardboard company that made the
box? All right, well saidthat's the point. That's the point,
(23:27):
and the metal company that made themetal that was used. You can,
you can take it to an extreme, and you can't get upset with the
families here. I mean, lookwhat they lost, and they're not and
they're not really fighting for money,not at this point. What they're fighting
for is basically gun control and whereverthey can get it, wherever they can
impose it. And let me tellyou, if I lost my toddler,
(23:49):
if I lost my child, I'dbe right there in line too. All
right, could you turn down aseven million dollar deal? I probably couldn't.
The Los Angeles Lakers still searching forthe next head coach after University of
Connecticut basketball coach Dan Hurley decided toturn down the job yesterday and it was
(24:12):
a six year, seventy million dollardeal. Yeah yeah, right, Yeah,
there's there's a couple of things aboutthat that I want to bring up.
First of all, it could bethe guy who lives way under his
knees, he's still going getting wayover a seven figure salary. I mean
he's you know, they pay headcoaches a lot of money, and he's
(24:33):
had two back to back national championshipsat Yukon, and there's a lot to
be said about that in terms ofjust feeling good and going for possibly a
dynasty, a three peet. Sothere is that. Also, you have
to build the Lakers up. It'sa lot of work. You get fired
very quickly because these contracts are veryrarely. Even though it's seventy million over
(24:56):
six years, that's not a nocut deal. It's not as if he
gets seventy million dollars no matter what. So I can see this happening.
You know, it used to bethat head coaches of schools weren't paid much
more than tenured professors years and yearsago, and then they realized very quickly
that if you're a head coach ofa Division I school and win a national
(25:19):
championship. All of a sudden,you're worth a whole lot of money.
Okay, so you're talking about eleven, well roughly eleven and a half million
dollars a year per year. Yeah. I don't know what he gets paid,
but it'll be over. Maybe it'stwo maybe it's four million, maybe
it's five million. In there fora year and then you can fire me.
I know. All you have todo is run a Division one national
(25:41):
championship teams. What's this? What'sthis? I got? I gotta got
it. Listen, you gotta goout there and you got to get the
w all right, you gotta giveit one hundred. You gotta take whatever
you're holding, and you got tomove it to the place where the points
are made. That's how we're gonnado this. Let's go, let's go.
Thank you, Amy, my turn. It's all about Apple and AI.
(26:07):
Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conferenceand unveiled the first batch of tools
powered by not artificial intelligence, butApple Intelligence, including personalized gen mojis.
It's an AI generated emoji and asignificantly smarter Seri which is going to be
fun for you. Bill. Itwill be. And we're going to talk
(26:30):
more about this with tech Tuesday comingup by Rich tomorrow at the eight o'clock
hour. So, hey, Siri, how much smarter are you going to
get? My aim is to beintelligent and helpful. It's more of a
(26:51):
journey than a destination. That isa fortune cookie. Okay, that's what
this is, but the world's smartestfortune cookie. I can't wait till she
gets smart enough to hate you.Hey, surious. She's like, what
a lot of hey, suriy ofthe book or in a book? All
right, Neil, let's go aheadand finish it. Hit it out.
(27:11):
Double double with fries and a drinknow costs more than ten bucks in California.
This is all because of the higherprices due to the state's new twenty
dollars minimum wage, and of coursehere after tax, it's about eleven dollars
and forty four cents. And that'sstill reasonable. That is, it's totally
worth it. Yeaheah. I justwent in and out a couple of days
(27:32):
ago, and this is very dangerousbecause my new place, the closest fast
food restaurant to my new place,is in in and out, very very
dangerous stuff and so I'm down therea lot. It's still really reasonable prices
even with this for the quality ingredients, absolutely hands down, and it's it's
(27:52):
probably cheaper than McDonald's, yeah,I think it is. And the quality,
well, if not the quality,I'm sure the food quality is as
good. Well maybe the hamburger isbetter. French fries are absolutely fresh.
I mean they do the potatoes rightthere. What did you just say?
That? In and Out is possiblybetter ingredients and McDonald's they're much better than
(28:15):
are they? Okay, well,in terms of higher quality meat, higher
quality cheese. That's why they didn'tgrow. They wanted to be as close
to the source of their meat aspossible. That's why they didn't proliferate.
So there's a lot of them inNorco. Right, all right, we
are done. KFI AM six fortylive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're
(28:41):
listening to KFI AM six forty theBill Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

True North is walking down the streetwith Beats. Yeah, they're pricey too,
(02:20):

This is the Lawyer's Philharmonic La LawyersPhilharmonic. Gary Green, who is
a friend of mine, is theconductor working attorney because this is all attorneys
and judges, people in the legalfield who actually want to make a living
(03:25):
so they went into law. Theworld class musicians and you have legal voices,
the choir. Anyways, I amc the whole thing, and it
is two things. Seeing me inTaxedo, me making an ass out of
myself is well worth it. Soand the music is just terrific. And
it's everything from show tunes to classicalto pop songs. I mean all of
(03:47):
it, music from the movies.So anyway, you can go to La
Lawyers phil dot org La lawyersphil dotorgan. It is a charity for the
benefit of people who cannot afford legalhelp, which by the way, is
everybody. I just want to pointthis out, so it's for the benefit
of everybody. Okay, guys,ready to do it. Yes, Juliani
(04:13):
turned down the gig every year.Every year he turned Yeah, every year.
And it's kind of fun, youknow, backstage at the concert hall
because you can't hear anything. I'venever actually heard one of those concerts.
Oh, I've been in the audiencewith you many times. We'd watching umc
it it's it is truly words,it's beautiful, nicely said, nicely said.
(04:39):
Okay, guys, let's do.It's time for handle on the news
on this Tuesday morning, June eleven, with Amy and Neil and me lead
story. Come well, the UNSecurity Council has approved its first resolution endorsing
a ceasefire plan that was the onethat was being pitched or is being pitched
(05:00):
by Biden. US sponsored resolution approvedfourteen to four to fourteen out of fifteen.
Russia abstaining, didn't even vote againstit, just abstained. And it
calls on Israel and Tramas to implementceasefire without delay. And is it going
(05:23):
to happen now? Not really.Israel is a lot closer to its position
to getting this thing over with fortwo reasons, One, Netanyahu is about
to lose a lot of his power, especially if the government fails. And
two, I think enough people inIsrael or enough people in government are starting
(05:45):
to realize you're not going to getrid of Aramas. That's an impossibility.
Now have they degraded? Are theydegraded in their military prowess? Of course?
Are they going to be able todo another October seventh? Probably not,
but that's not going to happen.And then the political pressure, oh
my goodness, political pressure on theside of the families and supporters of the
(06:08):
families of the hostages are every daythousands and thousands of demonstrators, give Hamas
whatever it wants. We want ourfamilies back, we want the hostages back.
And you can't blame them at all. These are loved ones. I
mean, how do you blame thosepeople? Okay, appeers? There could
(06:30):
have been war crimes on both sides. The Human Rights Office for the United
Nations is citing possible war crimes byIsraeli forces and Palestinian groups in connection with
the raid by Israeli forces that freedfour hostages over the weekend. Palestinian health
officials, the Gods of Health Ministrysays at least two hundred and seventy four
(06:51):
Palestinians, including dozens of women andchildren, were killed in the operation that
saved the lives of the four hostages. And I've brought this set before since
both sides are committee war crimes accordingto the UN, and that is Hamas
embedding itself in civilians and Israel goingafter Hamas in those areas where there are
(07:15):
civilians. Where do you go withthis? If Israel agrees not to attack
Hamas that are in civilian areas andthat's all the only place they are wars
over, Israel's just pulled out.Okay, we quit, We have no
choice. And so it's where doyou win on this one? And Hamas
(07:35):
is not willing to give up itspower. Hamas is being very intransigent,
and Israel's coming close to the table. But at the same time, the
Tanyahu and his government just does notwant to give Hamas any breathing room.
They want to decimate Hamas. It'llalways be there. So and then so
(07:57):
what happens Palestinian The civilians are caughtin the crossfire, and these children and
these men, innocent men and women, kids end up dying. I mean
by the thousands, well over thirtysix thousand, but that includes a militant,
so I don't count them. Solet's say two thirds of the people
that have died are innocent. Okay, let's go ahead and take a break,
(08:20):
and we're going to get through thisa little quicker because we got lots
of stories. I spent off onthis stuff with the Israel kamas War.
I have friends in Israel. Ihave been to all those areas. My
kids were bought mitzvah in Israel,you know how they do the bot mitzvahs
and thirteen years old, and theparents spent a fortune on those parties.
(08:45):
My kids were up at Masada wherethey got theirs and the rabbi, by
the way, quick story, therabbi who had more nosehars than any human
being I have ever met my life. He could have grown a walrus mustache
with the hairs coming out of hisnos. I know, I know.
That's my memory of my kids beingbought mitzvad. Did you have payas coming
(09:07):
out of on Masada? It wasjust horrible, all right. Rebecca Grossman
the socialite, and for those playingthe home game, socialite means rich white
woman, with no job, convictedof striking and killing two boys while driving
under the influence in Westlake Village Beckin twenty twenty. She was sentenced to
fifteen years to life in prison yesterday. She's sixty years old. She was
(09:33):
found guilty in February. Sentence justyesterday, but more a lot of people
were hoping. I was hoping forthe thirty four years to like, yeah,
well, that doesn't mean she's notgoing to get a whole lot of
years. It's when she's eligible forparole, because when you have two life
that means they can go on anddeny parole forever. So she I guess,
(09:54):
and I'm not familiar with the toofamiliar with the parole system, but
half off for or good behavior inCalifornia. So theoretically she is up in
what eight years she can ask forparole. But with the crime this vicious,
I don't think she's going to getit. Process won full thirty four
(10:18):
too young, too young in acrosswalk, and then lied about it and
then show all of it, Imean all of it. So I think
parole board is gonna have a toughtime with her. A two of deliberations
the jury in the Hunter Biden federalgun trial deliberated for less than an hour
(10:39):
yesterday. The twelve jury members havefor the past week heard vivid personal details
about President Biden's family. They willcontinue their deliberations this morning. That's it.
Huh yep, that's it. That'sbasically it. We're going to see
what happens. I mean, there'sa lot more to the story, but
that's basically yet. So we'll seehow long. It's only been an hour
(11:01):
of deliberations. So, and whatis it If it's if it's a fast
verdict, that's generally not good forthe defense, that's right. Well,
here here are the rules. Ifit's a fast verdict, it's not good
for the defense, or it isgood for the defense. If it is
a lengthy verdict, it is alsonot particularly good for the prosecution, but
(11:22):
maybe good for the defense. Doesthat help? Yeah, gosh, it's
almost like we're it's fast forward toSaturday, Saturday morning. Yeah, he'll
give the most detailed answer then go. But I don't know. Yeah,
okay, So this is a strangestory. Chinese police they've detained a suspect
(11:43):
in a stabbing attack on four instructorsfrom Iowa's Cornell College who were teaching at
a Chinese university, and apparently theybumped into some guy and the guy started
stabbing him and the rest of theguy. But that is weird. We
haven't figured out or they haven't figuredout or told us what's going on.
(12:05):
The good news is that all ofthe stabs are expected to survive, so
there were no fatalities there. Stabby, well the recipients of this point.
Yeah, so they eat bumped intothe foreigner, stabbed the foreigner, then
three other foreigners who were with him, then also stabbed a Chinese person who
approached him. So this is it'smore than three. This is a mass
(12:28):
stabbing. It is a mass stabbing. We got to get rid, but
they're going to survive. I gottahave noo control. Yeah. Well,
oh, there's a story about thatcoming up too, a little bit later
on those mess stabbings every once.We may soon have two for the price
of one. There could be acombined COVID nineteen flu shot in the future.
(12:48):
Won't get here in time for thisyear's flu season, but Moderna's testing
it and says they've had positive latestage trial results for the covid flu combination
vacs. I'm not even going totell you the name of it because you
won't remember it. They say thatthe late stage trial has had breakthrough results.
This is indicative of something that JimKeeney and I have been talking about
(13:13):
for several years now, and thisis two things are happening. Number One,
COVID is going to become or hasbecome endemic, which means it's simply
part of our life now. It'sthere now, thank goodness. The deadliness
of it, the ability to killpeople is way way down, so most
(13:33):
people survive. But it's going tobe an annual shot you take, like
the flu shot, because it mutates, and so it's going to be a
double hit. It's like kids withthe MMR shot months measles rubella the MMR
shots or is that the MMRP monthsmonths reubella measles parvo? I don't know.
(13:58):
Isn't parvo for docs? Uh?Yeah, okay, that's because Bill
hasn't gotten his shot for his AARP. Oh yeah, And then you can
add D in there for distemper.Yeah. There's a lot of a lot
of good vaccines out there, allright. So a left wing activist Lauren
Windsor who described herself as a documentaryfilmmaker, who said she made recordings.
(14:24):
During a dinner hosted by the SupremeCourt Historical Society last week, she said
that she has secret recordings of SupremeCourt Justice Samuel Alito and his wife,
as well as Chief Justice John Roberts, discussing a range of politically sensitive topics.
She basically pretended to be secretly shewas at this judge's conference, and
(14:48):
she secretly taped them. Alito completely, This is no surprising. Endorsed her
suggestion that quote, people in thiscountry who believe in God have to keep
fighting for that to return our countryto a place of godliness. Wow,
this is the Supreme Court justice.Yeah. But you know what's great is
that she had a conversation that sherecorded with Chief Justice John Roberts where she's,
(15:13):
you know, she's basically trying toset them up, and she says,
but that's not the point. Well, you know, but she says,
she goes, you know, theSupreme Court should guide the US as
in time got but she responds,but he responds and he said, yeah,
I don't know that we live ina Christian nation. I know a
lot of Jewish and Muslim friends,we say maybe not, and then Roberts,
(15:35):
yes, but not our job todo that. That's Roberts who said
that the Chief Justice Alito is theone that said yes, Christian nation and
all that. I mean this iswell, we knew that about Alito.
Upside down flag, all that business. Oh no, no, my wife
did it all well. The bottomline is Supreme Court Justice believes in Christian
values more so than in the Constitution, or thinks the Constitute should be based
(16:00):
on Christian values. It's not religionhas no part of determining who it is
and is. Chief Justice Roberts said, it's not our job to do that.
It's our job to decide the caseis as best we can, eliminating
the religious part. No, nosurprise. Alito is just basically a right
(16:22):
wing think a nutcase. I thinkso. I think he's dangerous stuff my
opinion. I believe his argument thatthe flag was right side up, but
he accidentally turned his house over Wellsaid, it's about as good as I've
heard. Well, this woman hasgone nuts over no nuts. So a
woman in New York went to acold Stone creamery in July of twenty twenty
(16:45):
two. So two years ago shegot a scoop of pistachio ice cream.
She said she reasonably believed that thepistachio ice cream she purchased contained pistachio,
but then she went on the company'swebsite and looked into it a little bit
and said, there are no pistachiosin this pistachio ice cream, but it's
(17:06):
pistachio flavoring. So she has fileda class action lawsuit against Coldstone Creamery for
deceptive advertising and other stuff. Yeah, well, she's asked for a certification
because you need to for a classaction suit, you first have to have
it certified by a judge who letsyou go forward. I don't know where
she is on that one, buta couple of things I want to point
(17:27):
out legally. First of all,Coldstone Creamery, why would you expect pistachio
in pistachio ice cream? I mean, just doesn't go. Also, I'd
like to see their menu where itsaid does it say pistachio flavored, because
it does on their website. Now, if it says on the menu up
(17:48):
on the menu in the store pistachioflavored, She's got no place to go
if it just says pistachio ice cream, then it's a different story. Also,
if you ever go to Stone here'stheir defense. I think it's gonna
win. You go to Coldstone Creameryand you'll see like what looks like a
fly in there. You know,you think it's a bug. It's a
(18:11):
little tiny piece of pistachio, whichthey can defend and say there is pistachio
in our pistacheo ice cream. Justlook at that little little tiny dot right
there. I would like a doublescoop of the mustachio got with the hair,
Yes, delicious from you? Yeah? Yeah, no hair from the
(18:36):
rabbit. No. But I thinkif it turns out, this may be
a good class action lawsuit against StoneCold. Yeah, I'll tell you why,
because they caught. Listen, theycall it pistachio ice cream with no
pistachio on their website though it sayspistachio flavoring. That's why I want.
But who looks at their website.You go to a plastie creamery. Uh,
(18:59):
that's why I said. When yougo there and order pistachio ice cream
and if it says pistachio flavored,she's got no place to go. But
if it says it's pistachio ice cream, and there's no pistachio. There's a
difference between pistachio and pistachio flavoring,and I think that is I think it
(19:21):
may be a legitimate lawsuit. Therehave been plenty out there. I know
this sounds ridiculous. Ten sends it'sa female pistachio, so there's no nuts.
Very well said. So anyway,yeah, I know, Amy,
you look askance on this side.Can you believe that somebody would sue for
five million dollars for this? Areactually rule in favor of them and find
(19:41):
them a dollar? Yeah, wellthat's the case. What ends up happening
is the court does rule and givethe plaintiffs, all of them in the
class, ten cents or a couponfor a free scoop or something. The
lawyers collect millions and millions of dollars. That's who makes the money, not
the plaintiffs. No one ice cream, Okay. Marjorie Taylor Green compares Trump
(20:08):
to Jesus at Las Vegas rally.Let's give her a little listen, shall
we. Oh? President Trump isa convicted felon. Well, you want
to know something. The man thatI worship is also a convicted felon.
What Yeah, she worships Trump.Right, Well, they're also there are
(20:30):
also other areas where you can comparethe two. Legitimately, Jesus said I
am King of the Jews, orhe was accused of being king of the
Jews, and I think he admittedto it. Trump says I am king
of the world. She didn't sayI'm king of the world. No,
(20:51):
But what I'm saying is, let'ssay, I'm getting a little hyperbolic,
but I mean, come on,Trump, you never Yeah. She also
said that he was murdered on aRoman cross. I will tell you this.
First of all, felonies didn't existuntil like what seventeen something. So
it was a political crime. Itwas treason. It was true against against
(21:15):
the Roman Empire. Yeah, therewasn't. It wasn't a felony in that
sense. It was a it wastreason. It was a crime against the
government. Okay, anyway, it'sMarjorie Taylor Green going out of her mind
as always. You know, doyou want to yell b Rabbis a couple
of times before we go that's uhyeah, yeah. And Nelson Mandela,
(21:36):
let's not forget that too. Shecompared Trump to Nelson Mandela m Okay,
so this I don't get this.It's not going to bring anybody back.
But the families of the children whosurvived the rob Elementary mass shooting and the
parents of the children who died andfiled a lawsuit against UPS and FedEx,
(21:56):
claiming the shipping companies played a partin the massacre because they transported the rifle
and trigger accessories to the shooter.Yeah. Now it's you know, that
sounds stupid on its face to argueabout FedEx and UPS or in terms of
shipping those weapons which can be shipped, But what they are the plaintiffs are
(22:21):
arguing here is that FedEx delivered theAR fifteen rifle to a place where the
shooter picked up the firearm. Andif you look at FedEx policy, no
weapons are allowed to be shipped.And what FedEx is going to say is
do we have to x ray everysingle package that goes through everyone? And
(22:45):
I guess if you asked the plaintiffshere, the answer is yes. Wouldn't
it be suing the person who putit in a FedEx box or a UPS
box and tried to against policy?Well, it's you know, again,
I don't know about that. Idon't know all the intricate seasons. What
about that? I don't know whodid I don't know who did what.
(23:07):
But you know that arms ship allthe time. How do they how do
how does the gun store get aweapon? It has to be shipped,
it has to be shipped. Andwhat if there's a trunk trucking company took
it off a palette? And thenwhat about the cardboard company that made the
box? All right, well saidthat's the point. That's the point,
(23:27):
and the metal company that made themetal that was used. You can,
you can take it to an extreme, and you can't get upset with the
families here. I mean, lookwhat they lost, and they're not and
they're not really fighting for money,not at this point. What they're fighting
for is basically gun control and whereverthey can get it, wherever they can
impose it. And let me tellyou, if I lost my toddler,
(23:49):
if I lost my child, I'dbe right there in line too. All
right, could you turn down aseven million dollar deal? I probably couldn't.
The Los Angeles Lakers still searching forthe next head coach after University of
Connecticut basketball coach Dan Hurley decided toturn down the job yesterday and it was
(24:12):
a six year, seventy million dollardeal. Yeah yeah, right, Yeah,
there's there's a couple of things aboutthat that I want to bring up.
First of all, it could bethe guy who lives way under his
knees, he's still going getting wayover a seven figure salary. I mean
he's you know, they pay headcoaches a lot of money, and he's
(24:33):
had two back to back national championshipsat Yukon, and there's a lot to
be said about that in terms ofjust feeling good and going for possibly a
dynasty, a three peet. Sothere is that. Also, you have
to build the Lakers up. It'sa lot of work. You get fired
very quickly because these contracts are veryrarely. Even though it's seventy million over
(24:56):
six years, that's not a nocut deal. It's not as if he
gets seventy million dollars no matter what. So I can see this happening.
You know, it used to bethat head coaches of schools weren't paid much
more than tenured professors years and yearsago, and then they realized very quickly
that if you're a head coach ofa Division I school and win a national
(25:19):
championship. All of a sudden,you're worth a whole lot of money.
Okay, so you're talking about eleven, well roughly eleven and a half million
dollars a year per year. Yeah. I don't know what he gets paid,
but it'll be over. Maybe it'stwo maybe it's four million, maybe
it's five million. In there fora year and then you can fire me.
I know. All you have todo is run a Division one national
(25:41):
championship teams. What's this? What'sthis? I got? I gotta got
it. Listen, you gotta goout there and you got to get the
w all right, you gotta giveit one hundred. You gotta take whatever
you're holding, and you got tomove it to the place where the points
are made. That's how we're gonnado this. Let's go, let's go.
Thank you, Amy, my turn. It's all about Apple and AI.
(26:07):
Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conferenceand unveiled the first batch of tools
powered by not artificial intelligence, butApple Intelligence, including personalized gen mojis.
It's an AI generated emoji and asignificantly smarter Seri which is going to be
fun for you. Bill. Itwill be. And we're going to talk
(26:30):
more about this with tech Tuesday comingup by Rich tomorrow at the eight o'clock
hour. So, hey, Siri, how much smarter are you going to
get? My aim is to beintelligent and helpful. It's more of a
(26:51):
journey than a destination. That isa fortune cookie. Okay, that's what
this is, but the world's smartestfortune cookie. I can't wait till she
gets smart enough to hate you.Hey, surious. She's like, what
a lot of hey, suriy ofthe book or in a book? All
right, Neil, let's go aheadand finish it. Hit it out.
(27:11):
Double double with fries and a drinknow costs more than ten bucks in California.
This is all because of the higherprices due to the state's new twenty
dollars minimum wage, and of coursehere after tax, it's about eleven dollars
and forty four cents. And that'sstill reasonable. That is, it's totally
worth it. Yeaheah. I justwent in and out a couple of days
(27:32):
ago, and this is very dangerousbecause my new place, the closest fast
food restaurant to my new place,is in in and out, very very
dangerous stuff and so I'm down therea lot. It's still really reasonable prices
even with this for the quality ingredients, absolutely hands down, and it's it's
(27:52):
probably cheaper than McDonald's, yeah,I think it is. And the quality,
well, if not the quality,I'm sure the food quality is as
good. Well maybe the hamburger isbetter. French fries are absolutely fresh.
I mean they do the potatoes rightthere. What did you just say?
That? In and Out is possiblybetter ingredients and McDonald's they're much better than
(28:15):
are they? Okay, well,in terms of higher quality meat, higher
quality cheese. That's why they didn'tgrow. They wanted to be as close
to the source of their meat aspossible. That's why they didn't proliferate.
So there's a lot of them inNorco. Right, all right, we
are done. KFI AM six fortylive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're
