and good morning everybody. Bill Handle. Here it is a foody Friday,
June twenty eighth. Ooh man.That was my prognostication of what happened last
(00:51):
night, old and doddering. AndTrump didn't say it outright, although there
was the implication. And President Bidenhave to No, he did not have
to. At one point he did. But then Biden didn't say experience,
I'm wonderful and terrific. He basicallysaid yeah, you're basically right. It
(01:14):
was not good news for Biden.Thirty seconds into it. Thirty seconds into
it, I started screaming, it'sover, it's done, this debate is
finished. However, they're there.What Biden walking up to the podum quodium
When he walked out even he started, there is a way out for Biden.
(01:36):
Everybody is talking about how it's done, it's finished. I was watching
analysis and the analysts. I usuallywatch CNN analysis more so than almost any
anybody else because I think I thinkthat's among the best. Even though they
are biased, they're not crazy likeFox, They're not crazy like MSNBC,
(01:57):
which you even know where going togo. They do bring some balance and
it was the but you know what, I'm going to talk more about that
coming out, because there's a worldto this that we have to talk about.
This debate was so important and itwas such a disaster for Joe Biden.
And as I suggested, uh,which of the President Trump's were we
going to see? We saw both. We saw both that I called,
(02:23):
Okay, let's say hello to Neil, good morning, good morning, Happy
Friday, Willie Wolf, Yeah,and Amy, good morning. We Hi
there you are guess what I sentyou? Okay, gentleman's men? Yeah,
yeah, you guys are I thoughtof your testicles? They don't sound
(02:46):
like that this squish. Yeah no, it's sort of a squishy. Uh,
let's not go there. Good morning. And I was fine until that
sort of started. It codo,Good morning? Is it is it?
(03:06):
Yeah? Started like the debate gotstarted up? Okay, okay, true
story. So you know how muchI make fun of Lindsay uh constantly?
And she keeps her dog's ashes ona shelf that we have and I'm not
into that. You know, there'sthe name of the dogs and there are
(03:27):
these boxes of dogs ashes, like, what the hell is that about?
And little Tommy, the little doxywe have, was neutered. All right.
Do you know where his balls arenext to yours? No? No,
they are in a jar. Uhyou do that? What you can
(03:52):
do that? I have no idea. I didn't, but it's like I'm
not going to keep someone's balls anda jawort. Well, actually my balls
are always caught up in a jarand they transferred from you know, woman
to woman in my life. Arethey preserved or little raisins like yours?
No, I don't do that.Many steroids. No, they're just in't
(04:13):
like from aldehyde or something. Andthere's some nuts, very strange, very
strange. You know. I shouldtake a picture of that and we'll put
it up. What do you think, Anne? Go for it? Oh?
Friday? Who oh? I likefor Friday? Energy She's like,
do it, Phil, I dareyou? Oh you don't want to say
(04:34):
I dare you? No, No, No, that's not going to help
you at all. All Right,guys, we have so much to talk
about, and unfortunately for Biden,the day after is not a very good
day. So let's start with handleon the news on this foody Friday,
June twenty eighth, with Amy andNeil and me Le. Sorry, Yeah,
(05:02):
it was not a good night forJoe Biden. Everything that his allies
were afraid were going to happen happened, and only the only silver lining watching
it last night was knowing that he'dwake up this morning not remembering it.
(05:24):
You know. Interesting, I waswatching CNN and one of the analysts said,
no, it was in the msmberejust a second, and someone who's
very close to Biden said, heprobably doesn't even know it was bad.
He didn't even know, and thenmentioned Obama that first debate that Obama had
that was horrible, which he wasable to recover from. Obviously, he
(05:46):
didn't know how bad he tanked ituntil his advisor said, do you understand
you screwed the pooch on this?There is clearly he blew it and then
Donald Trump as I said, well, I'm going to talk more about this
seven o'clock because I can just goon and on and on, and we
still have news coming up. ButI'm not even to go around the table
and said who won, because itwasn't even a race. And the unfortunate
(06:13):
part is already Biden has some realdisadvantage. He's a stutter that he used
to be a horrible sutter, andthat hurts. He is a bad communicator,
he is not a good debater.You put all of that together,
and he's eighty one years old.Oh and he had a cold. You
know what you could tell, well, no, you could tell he wasn't
(06:34):
feeling well. You could tell hisvoice was scratchy. You could tell he
was coughing. That you could.And that's one of the ways I think
he may get out of it.Not trying to deny it. You're shaking
your head, Amy, all right, I'm gonna say it, right,
No, I'm not. I'm gonnasave it till I come back. I
think there is a way he canworm his way out of this if you
(06:56):
will or at least ameliorate the person. And I'll tell you exactly that at
seven o'clock when we come back.Excellent word yep, yep, what nice
word choice, Amelia, thank you, I thank you. What does it
mean to help okay, to helpthe situation, to make it better?
(07:17):
I like it. Well, thingsare not getting better for this guy,
because the felonies they're just racking up. A homeless convicted sex offender has officially
been charged with trying to rape somebodyand also trying to kill somebody, and
this is tied to the attacks inSanta Monica on Monday. Witnesses say that
(07:39):
Juwan Garnett first attacked a seventeen yearold girl just north of the pier and
then punched and bit and tried tosexually assault another homeless woman who tried to
intervene to help the seventeen year oldgirl. And then he went and allegedly
grabbed a seventy two year old woman, dragged her into the ocean, and
tried to drown hers. You knowwhat, Thankfully he didn't put any trees
(08:03):
or anything in front of his businessto keep homeless people from sleeping, because
that's illegal. You know, usually, Neil, you're pretty open minded and
you you don't really attack people verymuch. You you have this thing about
homeless people. No, I havea thing about politicians dealing with homeless people.
Okay. And I don't think thatit is compassionate to let feral humans
(08:28):
run around. I don't think thatthat's feral humans. Yeah, well that
is a probo. By the way, I don't I just don't think that's
feral humans. By the way,I don't disagree with you, but that's
what you do. It to animals, at least pay them and new to
them. Well, you know alot of it. You know what we
do. We put down animals whenthey're suffering. And we can't do that.
(08:52):
We cannot, you know, wecannot practice euthanasia. Although I h
we have youth here too and therethey have just as many problems. I'm
just saying, I know, Iknow. I'm just said I don't think
it's compassionate, and I think it'sthe exact opposite of what most people think.
I'm with Neil. Yeah. See, hey, I don't disagree with
(09:13):
you. I'm just pointing out howengaged you are, and this one usually
in life. You and I knoweach other for years and years. You
don't give a rats ass about lifeexcept for this, it's not true.
Okay, we're coming back, notyours, I understand, all right.
So yesterday, to handle chagrin,Oklahoma's top educational official ordered public schools to
(09:37):
incorporate the Bible into lessons for gradesfive through twelve. And this appears to
be more efforts by conservative types toincorporate religion into classrooms. Yeah, isn't
that special? And as Republican stateSuperintendent Ryan Waltz said, the Bible is
an indispensable historical and cultural touchstone.Without it, Oklahoma students are unable to
(10:03):
properly contextualize the foundation of our nation. Look at the Constitution. Where do
you see the word God in theConstitution? Where do you see the word
separation of church and state? Ifyou do, because that Congress do not
a bridge the way it's it's described. Congress shall not a bridge. The
freedom of religion cannot get in theway of freedom. That doesn't mean it
(10:24):
doesn't even say there's a God,because you can argue that it even includes
atheists, which has been by theway interpreted by the courts. God does
not exist in the Constitution. Itdoesn't. The creator does, and there
is no creator is only in theDeclaration of Independence, not the law of
the land. Big difference, butthe difference there is no separation of church
(10:48):
and state. Those that term doesnot exist. The air force doesn't exist.
That term doesn't either exist. Butwe're allowed to have armed services.
So you can extrapolate. It's fairto say the abridgment no abridgment of religion.
Congress shall not a bridge religion.You can say that means separation.
The other day about the privacy isnot in the constitution. That is correct.
(11:13):
It's a question of how it's interpreted. But anyway, the point I'm
making here is this is going tobe attacked if this is not an a
direct attack or slam on the wholeconcept of separation of church and say,
we'll see what the court has said. I don't agree with this. I
don't think you should teach the Bible, and I don't think I think religion
should be separate from school. Idon't think that you should ban being able
(11:37):
to pray by the way I had. I took a Bible course in public
school and it was brilliant, butit was a Bible course. The Bible
based on literature and history, nota belief that God had anything to do
with it, because the Bible isan incredible historical document. Of course.
I mean when you go archaeologically,when you have these ancient buildings, ancient
(12:03):
towns that have been looked at andstudied archaeologically in Israel, they go from
the Bible. Oh there is noreally talks about it. Yeah, he
has used more for Armageddon. Armageddon. You go to Megido, there's the
town Jericho, There's the town theHittite nation, which most colleges at one
(12:24):
point used to scoff at and didn'tthink existed. They discovered anyway, So
there'll be a lawsuit big time.But immediately public schools will incorporate the Bible
into lessons from grades five through twelve. Can't wait to see that syllabus come
up there in that curriculum. Thatshould be fun. All I can say
(12:50):
is it's about time. LA's Metroboard has unanimously passed a plan to create
its own transit police force. Rightnow, they contract with La City Police
and County sheriffs and I think LongBeach Police. But now Metro is going
to create its own police force calledthe Transit Community Public Safety Department, focusing
(13:13):
solely on patrolling the buses and thetrains and the platforms. They're gonna have
their own patches, you know,like all police forces do. And it'll
show someone coming out of the metrogetting beaten up with a baseball bat.
There's a rider with a knife intheir neck. Yeah, to serve and
(13:35):
protect, all right. Yesterday,the Los Angeles Lakers have selected Browny James.
Of course, he's the eldest sonof superstar Lebron James, with a
fifty fifth pick in the twenty twentyfour NBA draft. And this, you
know, puts him poise to playalongside his father, which I know is
one of his father's massive dreams.So he knew it was going to take
place sooner or later. Yeah,the word. I talked to someone yesterday
(13:58):
about this who is in the know, who said that Lebron James effectively called
every single every single team and said, you're not going to draft my kid
and left it to the Lakers.And I don't know if that story is
true, but that's the only personwho could ever do that and let the
(14:20):
league know in no uncertain terms,I want to play with my kid,
thank you very much. You figureit out. So and he wants to
play. It'll be the only timein NBA history that a father and son
played on a team together. Yourlast year, when you finally decide to
retire, please tell me you're goingto have your twins co host with you.
(14:43):
Oh that's actually a very good idea, you know that, you know
what, That is a very goodidea. I like that dishing on dad.
We could Oh yeah, that's aneasy one. And then during the
breaks conversations with my mother and they'lljust be silence for several minutes. Okay,
(15:05):
say hunts with the weedi boar.No, Pamela is fun. She's
been on the shah. Yeah,she's very much fun. I don't know
if Barbara would like it. Amy, Let's finish it, will you?
Kay? Hey? Even more peopleare flying the Friendly Skies. TSA says
it screened a record two point nineto nine million passengers this past Sunday.
(15:26):
That was a record high. Thatmight not last because they're saying there is
a lot of people traveling. Moreand more are traveling, and they're expecting
this summer to be the busiest everfor TSA, and travel is going to
peak over the Independence Day holiday.They're expecting actually today to be like the
busiest day of the holiday season.Thirty two million people expected to fly between
(15:48):
today and Monday, July eighth.I have a question, whyat would anybody
in his or her right mind flyon the Thanksgiving holiday, July fourth holiday,
the Memorial holiday. Maybe because youhave obviously have no choice and you
have four or five days, butman, you know, at some point
you go, it's just not goingto happen. I'm flying today. Oh,
(16:10):
I didn't realize today was like thebusy business. Okay, well,
we're gonna hear from you when youcome back. Yeah, I know you're
gone all next week, so remindgood news is I'm flying out of Burbank,
though not call Burbank Lax. BurbankLax used to might still be there
all next week. Yeah, Burbankis the greatest airport. It's just I
love it. And it's right downthe street from US ten minute drive from
here. Now, this one issuper important for schools. California high school
(16:34):
students will soon have to complete afinancial literacy requirement to graduate, which makes
sense. It's going to be asemester long personal finance education course. It'll
be available to all high school studentsin California by the twenty twenty seven twenty
twenty eight year. I've been pushingfor this forever. Absolutely How can you
(16:59):
graduate a kid from high school whodoesn't know how to open up a checking
account, has no idea how todo anything financially, how to deal with
credit cards, none of it.And so this is absolute, absolutely terrific
too. When did they get ridof these? Because I remember taking these
courses in high school? It wascalled personal finance. Yeah, I don't
(17:23):
know. I don't remember taking one, but I do remember them having it.
I don't know when that stopped.Anyway, I'm going to do more
about that at seven fifty this morning, because there's a whole lot to this
in a couple of programs you don'teven know exist. And then a story
that when I was are you readyfor this? When I was a professor
(17:47):
at my law school, Yeah,I know, don't say beyond anything you
can imagine, but I wanted toteach a course in basically lawyers financial responsibility,
but things like how about the addressof a courtroom? Do you think
we should teach that? Or howto send out a bill? Do you
think we should teach that? Youknow, how do you actually open the
(18:11):
door and practice law because none ofthat happens in law school. And I
wanted to teach that and they shutme down. Wouldn't do it. Okay,
that's actually very smart. Yeah,it was, and they wouldn't do
it. Not the wind that itappears to be. Justice Ktanji Brown Jackson
wrote a scathing descent to the SupremeCourt ruling yesterday that had to do with
(18:36):
Idaho and whether emergency abortions could becarried out. They can, according to
the ruling, but in her descent, Justice Jackson said, it's just delay.
While this court dawdles and the countrywaits. Pregnant people experiencing emergency medical
conditions remain in a precarious position astheir doctors are kept in the dark about
(18:56):
what the law requires. Yeah,they ruled on the standing an issue,
not on the actual merits. Althoughthe way it was written, it looks
like the Court is leaning towards allowingemergency abortions because they're letting them the go
forward pending what the decision is goingto be. And so it's so it
(19:18):
goes back down to lower courts.It goes back down to lower courts.
As to the merits of the case. But and it'll go back up to
the Supreme Court. And I thinkwith Supreme Court when you look at it
this term in many terms, itdoes everything it can not to make a
decision. It bounces things, kicksthe can down the road, and then
I go why, I'm thinking,why did you take it? Then,
(19:42):
if you're not interested in actually makinga decision, deny, sirciori, just
deny hearing the case. And theydon't. So it almost seems like parents
saying, you know, you kids, figure it out yourself. That's basically
it. That's basically it. You'regoing to have to explain this to me
because this is fast nating bill,part of a negotiated civil settlement between the
(20:03):
gunmen and the teenager who survived multiplegunshot wounds at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School. A cruise cannot so muchas grant an interview without the written consent
of the young man who tried tomurder back in twenty twenty eighteen. So
this is just Anthony Borges now ownsNicholas Cruz's name. Yeah. In terms
(20:32):
of going public, any publication,any television show, any interview will seal
anything anything. Cruise cannot make anykind of decision without Borge is okaying it,
which effectively means that, of courseBorges is going to say no,
your name will never be used.It will never be a story published about
(20:55):
where you talk, where they getyour comments, where a screenplay. Now
this also is son of Sam.I think the correlation here because some son
of Sam laws say you can nevermake money off of this story if you've
committed the crime. You know,Sam Berkowitz actually sold his story and made
money killing all those people in NewYork because you become a so infamous Charles
(21:22):
Manson. I mean, who wouldn'thave paid Charles Manson for an interview,
a sit down interview. Could theGoldmans have done this with Oj? It
was a settlement. OJ would neversettle for something like this. This was
a settlement. And so Borges isbasically saying, we're just shutting your ability
down to ever go public, havean interview, make a statement. I
(21:45):
want you to disappear, and that'sso that's what that's about. So it's
time to hold these people accountable.Apparently, two years after the rob Elementary
School shooting massacre in Uvaldi, thedistrict police chief and a former school police
(22:06):
officer have been in died it.They're facing criminal charges over the failed response
to the mass shooting. Earlier thisyear, the Justice Department released a report
that concluded that law enforcement officers hadmany opportunities to reassess their flawed response to
the May twenty fourth shooting, whichincluded waiting. It was like an hour
(22:26):
before we getting seventy seven minutes.Yeah, seventy seven minutes. They waited
before they breached that door, andby then all those kids had been shot
and killed, and those two teachersand the shaker. Here is why it
took so long to charge these guys. I mean, there is a duty
to protect and they simply failed thatduty. There were a bunch of gutless,
(22:52):
pantywais cops who were too frightened togo in there and do their job.
No value judgment here, but youdon't want me to say a jury.
You didn't get any arguments from anyonehere. Yeah, for sure,
Now homeless people will soon be ableto go between the two filthiest cities very
quickly. California's massive and ambitious projectto connect downtown Los Angeles with the Bay
(23:19):
Area via electric trains capable of reachingspeeds of over two hundred miles per hour,
has cleared its biggest hurdle today.Woo high speed. Yeah, like
that's going to happen, and itis high speed for yards at a time.
It still has to slow down inand out of every single every single
(23:41):
train station you ever gone from hereto for example San Diego or Orange County,
and it takes you two and ahalf hours. You go, wait
a minute, that's forty miles orfifty miles. Yeah, it's the stops.
And that's what's going to happen.And this thing is such a boondoggle.
But at least now you're ready forthis. Now the I the Environmental
(24:03):
Impact Report now has been cleared.How many years ago did this thing start?
When was it first passed? Nineteentwelve? And it has taken so
long. They had to start early. They didn't even they didn't even have
electricity then that they were ready togo nineteen ninety six. Crazy, That
(24:26):
is crazy. Uh, here's somethingelse, it's crazy. That's the ticket.
It's the Sunday ticket. A judgein or actually a jury in LA
ruled against the NFL yesterday in along running legal battle over the cost of
DirecTV's Sunday Ticket broadcast package. TheNFL was ordered to pay ninety six million
(24:48):
dollars to commercial subscribers and four pointseven billion dollars to residential subscribers. And
it's all because the class action lawsuitclaimed that the NFL was violating anti trust
laws by only offering Sunday ticket onDirect TV, which is a satellite provider,
and saying then that that drove upthe price. Yeah, I have
(25:10):
a question. I don't know wherethe anti trust is here. You know,
for example, Chargers games on radioour own or Dodgers games are only
heard on KLAC. Now is thatanti trust because that's the only outlet.
I don't get it. Why can'ta Maybe I'm missing something. There's something
(25:33):
going on, nuance nuanced elete withnuanced reality. That's nuanced and well said,
And I just don't understand why youcan't go to a specific exclusive outlet.
So I'm sort of missing and youcould take it or no ticket here
it is three hundred bucks. Youget it on direct TV. You don't
like it, you don't like it, So I don't understand this. There
(25:56):
has to be something here that isbeyond just the story. Here's an easy
one. But you don't have topay for the Dodgers. You just listen
to them on KLAC, you know. But what if it was subscription.
You know, they have the rightto go. We're only going to do
a subscription. And it's not evenregulated. This is direct TV, this
is satellites, not even over theairwaves. All right. An international roaming
(26:22):
outage is going on right now.It's leaving customers of the three major US
mobile carriers, your Tea mobiles,your AT and T, your verizons there
in the dark. Makes it difficultor sometimes impossible for American customers who are
currently out of the country to makecalls and messages, even use their data.
So that's a lot of people too. Yeah, that's a whole lot
(26:45):
of people. So do we knowwhether it's hacked or was there just a
problem of it interface. I mean, we have no idea at this point,
do we. It's just impacted.They say that there's some third party
vendor issue and it's making this internlead you know, international Roman service not
(27:06):
not substantial. It keeps it goingin and out. A lot of scams
against Uncle Sam. Nearly two hundredpeople across the US have been charged by
Attorney General Merrick Garland for two pointseven billion dollars in healthcare fraud schemes.
(27:27):
That includes seventy six doctors, nursepractitioners, and other licensed medical professionals.
When they went and did this sweep, they seized more than two hundred and
thirty one million dollars in cash,luxury vehicles, gold, and other assets.
I can't even imagine how long andhow extensive this investigation was, and
(27:52):
how many hundreds of agents over howmany agencies were involved, two federal districts
a week, sweet mind. Yeah, look at some of these things that
they're saying they did. The Departmentof Justices federal authorities noted scams included targeting
Native Americans with fraudulent sober living homes, illegally prescribing or distributing opioids, and
(28:17):
medical professionals committing telemedicine and laboratory fraud, and then also mislabeling and shipping out
HIV drugs across the country. Prettysophisticated, crazy stuff. All right,
Let's do one last story before wego on to the rest of the show.
An interesting report from Micronomics Economic Researchand Consulting says that the World Cup
(28:40):
will bring a projected five hundred andninety four million dollars to Los Angeles County
in twenty twenty six. Holy smokes. Yeah, it's pretty impressive. But
the World Cup is insane. Youknow, where our Super Bowl has one
hundred and million viewers and that's justcompletely crazy. The World Cup is over
(29:04):
two billion people that watch the WorldCup. And I'll tell you what,
We're gonna hear a whole lot ofon the World Cup. God good,
Yeah, we're done, guys.This is kf I AM six forty live

was the implication. And President Bidenhave to No, he did not have
to. At one point he did. But then Biden didn't say experience,
I'm wonderful and terrific. He basicallysaid yeah, you're basically right. It
(01:14):
was not good news for Biden.Thirty seconds into it. Thirty seconds into
it, I started screaming, it'sover, it's done, this debate is
finished. However, they're there.What Biden walking up to the podum quodium
When he walked out even he started, there is a way out for Biden.
(01:36):
Everybody is talking about how it's done, it's finished. I was watching
analysis and the analysts. I usuallywatch CNN analysis more so than almost any
anybody else because I think I thinkthat's among the best. Even though they
are biased, they're not crazy likeFox, They're not crazy like MSNBC,
(01:57):
which you even know where going togo. They do bring some balance and
it was the but you know what, I'm going to talk more about that
coming out, because there's a worldto this that we have to talk about.
This debate was so important and itwas such a disaster for Joe Biden.
And as I suggested, uh,which of the President Trump's were we
going to see? We saw both. We saw both that I called,
(02:23):
Okay, let's say hello to Neil, good morning, good morning, Happy
Friday, Willie Wolf, Yeah,and Amy, good morning. We Hi
there you are guess what I sentyou? Okay, gentleman's men? Yeah,
yeah, you guys are I thoughtof your testicles? They don't sound
(02:46):
like that this squish. Yeah no, it's sort of a squishy. Uh,
let's not go there. Good morning. And I was fine until that
sort of started. It codo,Good morning? Is it is it?
(03:06):
Yeah? Started like the debate gotstarted up? Okay, okay, true
story. So you know how muchI make fun of Lindsay uh constantly?
And she keeps her dog's ashes ona shelf that we have and I'm not
into that. You know, there'sthe name of the dogs and there are
(03:27):
these boxes of dogs ashes, like, what the hell is that about?
And little Tommy, the little doxywe have, was neutered. All right.
Do you know where his balls arenext to yours? No? No,
they are in a jar. Uhyou do that? What you can
(03:52):
do that? I have no idea. I didn't, but it's like I'm
not going to keep someone's balls anda jawort. Well, actually my balls
are always caught up in a jarand they transferred from you know, woman
to woman in my life. Arethey preserved or little raisins like yours?
No, I don't do that.Many steroids. No, they're just in't
(04:13):
like from aldehyde or something. Andthere's some nuts, very strange, very
strange. You know. I shouldtake a picture of that and we'll put
it up. What do you think, Anne? Go for it? Oh?
Friday? Who oh? I likefor Friday? Energy She's like,
do it, Phil, I dareyou? Oh you don't want to say
(04:34):
I dare you? No, No, No, that's not going to help
you at all. All Right,guys, we have so much to talk
about, and unfortunately for Biden,the day after is not a very good
day. So let's start with handleon the news on this foody Friday,
June twenty eighth, with Amy andNeil and me Le. Sorry, Yeah,
(05:02):
it was not a good night forJoe Biden. Everything that his allies
were afraid were going to happen happened, and only the only silver lining watching
it last night was knowing that he'dwake up this morning not remembering it.
(05:24):
You know. Interesting, I waswatching CNN and one of the analysts said,
no, it was in the msmberejust a second, and someone who's
very close to Biden said, heprobably doesn't even know it was bad.
He didn't even know, and thenmentioned Obama that first debate that Obama had
that was horrible, which he wasable to recover from. Obviously, he
(05:46):
didn't know how bad he tanked ituntil his advisor said, do you understand
you screwed the pooch on this?There is clearly he blew it and then
Donald Trump as I said, well, I'm going to talk more about this
seven o'clock because I can just goon and on and on, and we
still have news coming up. ButI'm not even to go around the table
and said who won, because itwasn't even a race. And the unfortunate
(06:13):
part is already Biden has some realdisadvantage. He's a stutter that he used
to be a horrible sutter, andthat hurts. He is a bad communicator,
he is not a good debater.You put all of that together,
and he's eighty one years old.Oh and he had a cold. You
know what you could tell, well, no, you could tell he wasn't
(06:34):
feeling well. You could tell hisvoice was scratchy. You could tell he
was coughing. That you could.And that's one of the ways I think
he may get out of it.Not trying to deny it. You're shaking
your head, Amy, all right, I'm gonna say it, right,
No, I'm not. I'm gonnasave it till I come back. I
think there is a way he canworm his way out of this if you
(06:56):
will or at least ameliorate the person. And I'll tell you exactly that at
seven o'clock when we come back.Excellent word yep, yep, what nice
word choice, Amelia, thank you, I thank you. What does it
mean to help okay, to helpthe situation, to make it better?
(07:17):
I like it. Well, thingsare not getting better for this guy,
because the felonies they're just racking up. A homeless convicted sex offender has officially
been charged with trying to rape somebodyand also trying to kill somebody, and
this is tied to the attacks inSanta Monica on Monday. Witnesses say that
(07:39):
Juwan Garnett first attacked a seventeen yearold girl just north of the pier and
then punched and bit and tried tosexually assault another homeless woman who tried to
intervene to help the seventeen year oldgirl. And then he went and allegedly
grabbed a seventy two year old woman, dragged her into the ocean, and
tried to drown hers. You knowwhat, Thankfully he didn't put any trees
(08:03):
or anything in front of his businessto keep homeless people from sleeping, because
that's illegal. You know, usually, Neil, you're pretty open minded and
you you don't really attack people verymuch. You you have this thing about
homeless people. No, I havea thing about politicians dealing with homeless people.
Okay. And I don't think thatit is compassionate to let feral humans
(08:28):
run around. I don't think thatthat's feral humans. Yeah, well that
is a probo. By the way, I don't I just don't think that's
feral humans. By the way,I don't disagree with you, but that's
what you do. It to animals, at least pay them and new to
them. Well, you know alot of it. You know what we
do. We put down animals whenthey're suffering. And we can't do that.
(08:52):
We cannot, you know, wecannot practice euthanasia. Although I h
we have youth here too and therethey have just as many problems. I'm
just saying, I know, Iknow. I'm just said I don't think
it's compassionate, and I think it'sthe exact opposite of what most people think.
I'm with Neil. Yeah. See, hey, I don't disagree with
(09:13):
you. I'm just pointing out howengaged you are, and this one usually
in life. You and I knoweach other for years and years. You
don't give a rats ass about lifeexcept for this, it's not true.
Okay, we're coming back, notyours, I understand, all right.
So yesterday, to handle chagrin,Oklahoma's top educational official ordered public schools to
(09:37):
incorporate the Bible into lessons for gradesfive through twelve. And this appears to
be more efforts by conservative types toincorporate religion into classrooms. Yeah, isn't
that special? And as Republican stateSuperintendent Ryan Waltz said, the Bible is
an indispensable historical and cultural touchstone.Without it, Oklahoma students are unable to
(10:03):
properly contextualize the foundation of our nation. Look at the Constitution. Where do
you see the word God in theConstitution? Where do you see the word
separation of church and state? Ifyou do, because that Congress do not
a bridge the way it's it's described. Congress shall not a bridge. The
freedom of religion cannot get in theway of freedom. That doesn't mean it
(10:24):
doesn't even say there's a God,because you can argue that it even includes
atheists, which has been by theway interpreted by the courts. God does
not exist in the Constitution. Itdoesn't. The creator does, and there
is no creator is only in theDeclaration of Independence, not the law of
the land. Big difference, butthe difference there is no separation of church
(10:48):
and state. Those that term doesnot exist. The air force doesn't exist.
That term doesn't either exist. Butwe're allowed to have armed services.
So you can extrapolate. It's fairto say the abridgment no abridgment of religion.
Congress shall not a bridge religion.You can say that means separation.
The other day about the privacy isnot in the constitution. That is correct.
(11:13):
It's a question of how it's interpreted. But anyway, the point I'm
making here is this is going tobe attacked if this is not an a
direct attack or slam on the wholeconcept of separation of church and say,
we'll see what the court has said. I don't agree with this. I
don't think you should teach the Bible, and I don't think I think religion
should be separate from school. Idon't think that you should ban being able
(11:37):
to pray by the way I had. I took a Bible course in public
school and it was brilliant, butit was a Bible course. The Bible
based on literature and history, nota belief that God had anything to do
with it, because the Bible isan incredible historical document. Of course.
I mean when you go archaeologically,when you have these ancient buildings, ancient
(12:03):
towns that have been looked at andstudied archaeologically in Israel, they go from
the Bible. Oh there is noreally talks about it. Yeah, he
has used more for Armageddon. Armageddon. You go to Megido, there's the
town Jericho, There's the town theHittite nation, which most colleges at one
(12:24):
point used to scoff at and didn'tthink existed. They discovered anyway, So
there'll be a lawsuit big time.But immediately public schools will incorporate the Bible
into lessons from grades five through twelve. Can't wait to see that syllabus come
up there in that curriculum. Thatshould be fun. All I can say
(12:50):
is it's about time. LA's Metroboard has unanimously passed a plan to create
its own transit police force. Rightnow, they contract with La City Police
and County sheriffs and I think LongBeach Police. But now Metro is going
to create its own police force calledthe Transit Community Public Safety Department, focusing
(13:13):
solely on patrolling the buses and thetrains and the platforms. They're gonna have
their own patches, you know,like all police forces do. And it'll
show someone coming out of the metrogetting beaten up with a baseball bat.
There's a rider with a knife intheir neck. Yeah, to serve and
(13:35):
protect, all right. Yesterday,the Los Angeles Lakers have selected Browny James.
Of course, he's the eldest sonof superstar Lebron James, with a
fifty fifth pick in the twenty twentyfour NBA draft. And this, you
know, puts him poise to playalongside his father, which I know is
one of his father's massive dreams.So he knew it was going to take
place sooner or later. Yeah,the word. I talked to someone yesterday
(13:58):
about this who is in the know, who said that Lebron James effectively called
every single every single team and said, you're not going to draft my kid
and left it to the Lakers.And I don't know if that story is
true, but that's the only personwho could ever do that and let the
(14:20):
league know in no uncertain terms,I want to play with my kid,
thank you very much. You figureit out. So and he wants to
play. It'll be the only timein NBA history that a father and son
played on a team together. Yourlast year, when you finally decide to
retire, please tell me you're goingto have your twins co host with you.
(14:43):
Oh that's actually a very good idea, you know that, you know
what, That is a very goodidea. I like that dishing on dad.
We could Oh yeah, that's aneasy one. And then during the
breaks conversations with my mother and they'lljust be silence for several minutes. Okay,
(15:05):
say hunts with the weedi boar.No, Pamela is fun. She's
been on the shah. Yeah,she's very much fun. I don't know
if Barbara would like it. Amy, Let's finish it, will you?
Kay? Hey? Even more peopleare flying the Friendly Skies. TSA says
it screened a record two point nineto nine million passengers this past Sunday.
(15:26):
That was a record high. Thatmight not last because they're saying there is
a lot of people traveling. Moreand more are traveling, and they're expecting
this summer to be the busiest everfor TSA, and travel is going to
peak over the Independence Day holiday.They're expecting actually today to be like the
busiest day of the holiday season.Thirty two million people expected to fly between
(15:48):
today and Monday, July eighth.I have a question, whyat would anybody
in his or her right mind flyon the Thanksgiving holiday, July fourth holiday,
the Memorial holiday. Maybe because youhave obviously have no choice and you
have four or five days, butman, you know, at some point
you go, it's just not goingto happen. I'm flying today. Oh,
(16:10):
I didn't realize today was like thebusy business. Okay, well,
we're gonna hear from you when youcome back. Yeah, I know you're
gone all next week, so remindgood news is I'm flying out of Burbank,
though not call Burbank Lax. BurbankLax used to might still be there
all next week. Yeah, Burbankis the greatest airport. It's just I
love it. And it's right downthe street from US ten minute drive from
here. Now, this one issuper important for schools. California high school
(16:34):
students will soon have to complete afinancial literacy requirement to graduate, which makes
sense. It's going to be asemester long personal finance education course. It'll
be available to all high school studentsin California by the twenty twenty seven twenty
twenty eight year. I've been pushingfor this forever. Absolutely How can you
(16:59):
graduate a kid from high school whodoesn't know how to open up a checking
account, has no idea how todo anything financially, how to deal with
credit cards, none of it.And so this is absolute, absolutely terrific
too. When did they get ridof these? Because I remember taking these
courses in high school? It wascalled personal finance. Yeah, I don't
(17:23):
know. I don't remember taking one, but I do remember them having it.
I don't know when that stopped.Anyway, I'm going to do more
about that at seven fifty this morning, because there's a whole lot to this
in a couple of programs you don'teven know exist. And then a story
that when I was are you readyfor this? When I was a professor
(17:47):
at my law school, Yeah,I know, don't say beyond anything you
can imagine, but I wanted toteach a course in basically lawyers financial responsibility,
but things like how about the addressof a courtroom? Do you think
we should teach that? Or howto send out a bill? Do you
think we should teach that? Youknow, how do you actually open the
(18:11):
door and practice law because none ofthat happens in law school. And I
wanted to teach that and they shutme down. Wouldn't do it. Okay,
that's actually very smart. Yeah,it was, and they wouldn't do
it. Not the wind that itappears to be. Justice Ktanji Brown Jackson
wrote a scathing descent to the SupremeCourt ruling yesterday that had to do with
(18:36):
Idaho and whether emergency abortions could becarried out. They can, according to
the ruling, but in her descent, Justice Jackson said, it's just delay.
While this court dawdles and the countrywaits. Pregnant people experiencing emergency medical
conditions remain in a precarious position astheir doctors are kept in the dark about
(18:56):
what the law requires. Yeah,they ruled on the standing an issue,
not on the actual merits. Althoughthe way it was written, it looks
like the Court is leaning towards allowingemergency abortions because they're letting them the go
forward pending what the decision is goingto be. And so it's so it
(19:18):
goes back down to lower courts.It goes back down to lower courts.
As to the merits of the case. But and it'll go back up to
the Supreme Court. And I thinkwith Supreme Court when you look at it
this term in many terms, itdoes everything it can not to make a
decision. It bounces things, kicksthe can down the road, and then
I go why, I'm thinking,why did you take it? Then,
(19:42):
if you're not interested in actually makinga decision, deny, sirciori, just
deny hearing the case. And theydon't. So it almost seems like parents
saying, you know, you kids, figure it out yourself. That's basically
it. That's basically it. You'regoing to have to explain this to me
because this is fast nating bill,part of a negotiated civil settlement between the
(20:03):
gunmen and the teenager who survived multiplegunshot wounds at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School. A cruise cannot so muchas grant an interview without the written consent
of the young man who tried tomurder back in twenty twenty eighteen. So
this is just Anthony Borges now ownsNicholas Cruz's name. Yeah. In terms
(20:32):
of going public, any publication,any television show, any interview will seal
anything anything. Cruise cannot make anykind of decision without Borge is okaying it,
which effectively means that, of courseBorges is going to say no,
your name will never be used.It will never be a story published about
(20:55):
where you talk, where they getyour comments, where a screenplay. Now
this also is son of Sam.I think the correlation here because some son
of Sam laws say you can nevermake money off of this story if you've
committed the crime. You know,Sam Berkowitz actually sold his story and made
money killing all those people in NewYork because you become a so infamous Charles
(21:22):
Manson. I mean, who wouldn'thave paid Charles Manson for an interview,
a sit down interview. Could theGoldmans have done this with Oj? It
was a settlement. OJ would neversettle for something like this. This was
a settlement. And so Borges isbasically saying, we're just shutting your ability
down to ever go public, havean interview, make a statement. I
(21:45):
want you to disappear, and that'sso that's what that's about. So it's
time to hold these people accountable.Apparently, two years after the rob Elementary
School shooting massacre in Uvaldi, thedistrict police chief and a former school police
(22:06):
officer have been in died it.They're facing criminal charges over the failed response
to the mass shooting. Earlier thisyear, the Justice Department released a report
that concluded that law enforcement officers hadmany opportunities to reassess their flawed response to
the May twenty fourth shooting, whichincluded waiting. It was like an hour
(22:26):
before we getting seventy seven minutes.Yeah, seventy seven minutes. They waited
before they breached that door, andby then all those kids had been shot
and killed, and those two teachersand the shaker. Here is why it
took so long to charge these guys. I mean, there is a duty
to protect and they simply failed thatduty. There were a bunch of gutless,
(22:52):
pantywais cops who were too frightened togo in there and do their job.
No value judgment here, but youdon't want me to say a jury.
You didn't get any arguments from anyonehere. Yeah, for sure,
Now homeless people will soon be ableto go between the two filthiest cities very
quickly. California's massive and ambitious projectto connect downtown Los Angeles with the Bay
(23:19):
Area via electric trains capable of reachingspeeds of over two hundred miles per hour,
has cleared its biggest hurdle today.Woo high speed. Yeah, like
that's going to happen, and itis high speed for yards at a time.
It still has to slow down inand out of every single every single
(23:41):
train station you ever gone from hereto for example San Diego or Orange County,
and it takes you two and ahalf hours. You go, wait
a minute, that's forty miles orfifty miles. Yeah, it's the stops.
And that's what's going to happen.And this thing is such a boondoggle.
But at least now you're ready forthis. Now the I the Environmental
(24:03):
Impact Report now has been cleared.How many years ago did this thing start?
When was it first passed? Nineteentwelve? And it has taken so
long. They had to start early. They didn't even they didn't even have
electricity then that they were ready togo nineteen ninety six. Crazy, That
(24:26):
is crazy. Uh, here's somethingelse, it's crazy. That's the ticket.
It's the Sunday ticket. A judgein or actually a jury in LA
ruled against the NFL yesterday in along running legal battle over the cost of
DirecTV's Sunday Ticket broadcast package. TheNFL was ordered to pay ninety six million
(24:48):
dollars to commercial subscribers and four pointseven billion dollars to residential subscribers. And
it's all because the class action lawsuitclaimed that the NFL was violating anti trust
laws by only offering Sunday ticket onDirect TV, which is a satellite provider,
and saying then that that drove upthe price. Yeah, I have
(25:10):
a question. I don't know wherethe anti trust is here. You know,
for example, Chargers games on radioour own or Dodgers games are only
heard on KLAC. Now is thatanti trust because that's the only outlet.
I don't get it. Why can'ta Maybe I'm missing something. There's something
(25:33):
going on, nuance nuanced elete withnuanced reality. That's nuanced and well said,
And I just don't understand why youcan't go to a specific exclusive outlet.
So I'm sort of missing and youcould take it or no ticket here
it is three hundred bucks. Youget it on direct TV. You don't
like it, you don't like it, So I don't understand this. There
(25:56):
has to be something here that isbeyond just the story. Here's an easy
one. But you don't have topay for the Dodgers. You just listen
to them on KLAC, you know. But what if it was subscription.
You know, they have the rightto go. We're only going to do
a subscription. And it's not evenregulated. This is direct TV, this
is satellites, not even over theairwaves. All right. An international roaming
(26:22):
outage is going on right now.It's leaving customers of the three major US
mobile carriers, your Tea mobiles,your AT and T, your verizons there
in the dark. Makes it difficultor sometimes impossible for American customers who are
currently out of the country to makecalls and messages, even use their data.
So that's a lot of people too. Yeah, that's a whole lot
(26:45):
of people. So do we knowwhether it's hacked or was there just a
problem of it interface. I mean, we have no idea at this point,
do we. It's just impacted.They say that there's some third party
vendor issue and it's making this internlead you know, international Roman service not
(27:06):
not substantial. It keeps it goingin and out. A lot of scams
against Uncle Sam. Nearly two hundredpeople across the US have been charged by
Attorney General Merrick Garland for two pointseven billion dollars in healthcare fraud schemes.
(27:27):
That includes seventy six doctors, nursepractitioners, and other licensed medical professionals.
When they went and did this sweep, they seized more than two hundred and
thirty one million dollars in cash,luxury vehicles, gold, and other assets.
I can't even imagine how long andhow extensive this investigation was, and
(27:52):
how many hundreds of agents over howmany agencies were involved, two federal districts
a week, sweet mind. Yeah, look at some of these things that
they're saying they did. The Departmentof Justices federal authorities noted scams included targeting
Native Americans with fraudulent sober living homes, illegally prescribing or distributing opioids, and
(28:17):
medical professionals committing telemedicine and laboratory fraud, and then also mislabeling and shipping out
HIV drugs across the country. Prettysophisticated, crazy stuff. All right,
Let's do one last story before wego on to the rest of the show.
An interesting report from Micronomics Economic Researchand Consulting says that the World Cup
(28:40):
will bring a projected five hundred andninety four million dollars to Los Angeles County
in twenty twenty six. Holy smokes. Yeah, it's pretty impressive. But
the World Cup is insane. Youknow, where our Super Bowl has one
hundred and million viewers and that's justcompletely crazy. The World Cup is over
(29:04):
two billion people that watch the WorldCup. And I'll tell you what,
We're gonna hear a whole lot ofon the World Cup. God good,
Yeah, we're done, guys.This is kf I AM six forty live
