Good morning, Willie Wolf, Yes, and Cono there you are.
There is good way. Oh man, We've got so much to cover today.
(02:38):
First of all, tomorrow, rememberI've been telling you about the podcast
that I've been working on for awhile. Tomorrow the first podcast drops.
The first episode drops, and it'sat nine o'clock right after the show,
but you can listen to it anytimethat's the beauty of podcasts, and it
is a little bit different. I'mnot stuck with the time situation, you
(03:00):
know, with these segment times.We had to go to break none of
that, and I can say thingsI can't say, and I dive a
little deeper into topics. And thefirst two episodes it's Monday and Wednesday,
excuse me, Tuesday and Thursday.We dropped the episodes or two a week.
We're starting with that, and thefirst two are going to be How
(03:22):
I got here, the story ofmy grandparents, my parents. If you've
heard the background before, it's reallyan extraordinary story of my grandparents and parents
in World War two and the Holocaust. I mean it's and then how I
came to America and all of that. It's kind of fun, well unless
you were in the Holocaust, andit's not so much fun. Okay.
(03:45):
So that is first and foremost,also a quick one, and this is
before we get to the news.Coming up this Sunday at the Anaheim White
House, Neil and I will bethere seven o'clock and it is a Bastile
Day celelebration Day, Steel Day.It is a French version of their July
fourth and Neil and I are goingto be there and we're inviting you to
(04:10):
join us. Of course you getto pay, it's eighty five dollars per
head. But it is a Frenchmenu and of course the way Bruno cooks,
and there's a celebrity French chef andjust it should be a lot of
fun. It's all French. Youcan go to Anaheim white House dot com.
Love to see you there. Andwhat else he'll be French fries,
(04:33):
French dressing. Yes. However,however, I'll tell you, I'll tell
you what we are giving away.We are giving away an authentic World War
two white surrender flag and that willbe given away to one of the people
that show up. Well, we'rethinking of possibly a race whoever can run
(04:56):
the fastest backwards. Yeah. So, and by the way, for those
of you that are French and youknow you're offended by all the jokes we
make about the French surrendering, it'sabsolutely true. That's exactly what happened.
So it should be a lot offun. The menu is up there,
go to Anaheim white House dot com. Also July fourth, that was a
(05:21):
lot of fun. I was atLindsay's parents place and it's a gated community
where everybody has a golf cart andthey dress up the golf carts. July
fourth and there's a parade, agolf cart parade. It is a golf
cart parade. They do it twicein a year on Yeah, yeah,
that's on Instagram. It's a golfcart. Never heard anything more Caucasian in
(05:45):
my life, that's all. Letme tell you. It was so Caucasian.
You can see people that were linedup in front of their houses.
And there was a woman behind mewho was so obnoxious every time a golf
cart went past. And of coursered, white and blue. You'll you'll
see that on Instagram at Bill HandleShow and it's you can see how they
(06:05):
dress up the golf carts. Andso there's women behind me as the golf
carts are passing screaming us A Trump, USA, Trump, USA. I
mean, I was just so obnoxious. People are going, come on,
really, this is you want tokick the politics out of it this time
USA Trump. There was one JoeBiden cart, but it was broken down,
(06:30):
uh and the wheels were off flat. It kept going in circles.
Yeah, oh poor Joe. Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that yeah,
we we have a lot going on. We're a mess. I saw
something the other day, a memethat said, don't bother me this weekend,
(06:51):
I'm watching the season finale of America'sI know it's a heartbreaker, although
I tell you it's his fault.I said very early on saying this guy
should not go a second term.He is the best candidate for Donald Trump.
(07:12):
You are starting to get more andmore Democrats trying to make excuses,
so many excuses for Biden. Ithink they will put Trump in the White
House more than trump voters will puthim in the White House. Oh,
absolutely absolutely. Or if he decideswhat she's not going to because he is
(07:33):
half delusional thinking that he's fine evenas he babbles through, which is so
unfortunate, as he is convinced thathe is the guy to beat Trump.
So let's say he decides to dropout. The pressure is so great,
and Kamala Harris becomes the candidate,not because she's good, not because the
(07:54):
voters like her, not because she'sgone through the battle of the primaries,
so we know who she is simplyby virtue of the fact she is a
candidate. He chose her to bea candidate, and so look what we
have. We've got Kamala Harris versusDonald Trump. Can you imagine anything worse
(08:16):
than that? Boy? What choiceswe have? Or Donald Trump versus Joe
Biden. Joe Biden a great guy, heartfelt. I think he's way too
liberal for my politics, but honest, just a basically good guy and not
self aggrandizing. What makes him tooliberal for you because I find out he's
(08:37):
so pro he's so pro union,anti business. He initially, you know,
when he first became president, hedecided he was Emma Lazarus. Uh,
send me your wretched, your poor, and you know that wide open.
Yeah. Just I mean, onand on and on. I mean,
there's a taxation for the wealthy.Anybody who makes more than four dollars
(09:01):
a year has to pay their fairshare. I love that. Liberals always
say, had you, anybody whohas money, you have to pay your
fair share? Not you have tosupport the economy, Not you. The
top twenty percent are paying eighty percentof the taxes. No, none of
that. It's fair share. Idon't know what your fair share is.
(09:22):
You have to pay my fair share? Yeah, yeah, you know,
what was it? Bernie Sanders wasasked, what do you think wealthy people?
What percentage of taxa should wealth wealthypeople pay? And he goes,
I don't know. I'll tell youwhen I see it. Like porn.
Yeah, yeah, I don't knowit, but I can explain it when
I see it. I know itwhen I see it. And someone through
(09:45):
out there, how about seventy percent? He goes, that's close. It's
Bernie Sanders. Okay, Wow,we got a lot going on today,
so let's do one story before wetake a break, okay, and then
we will continue on and really getinto a handle on the news. Lead
story, all right, Seventy juvenilesdetained and cited Saturday night a mall in
(10:13):
Carson basically all got together and startedgoing nuts. The Sheriff's department comes in,
calls for an unlawful assembly. Theywouldn't, and they set off illegal
fireworks inside the inside the store,started a fire inside of a trash can.
This is in the mall, andthey were arrested. Of course,
(10:35):
people were saying that's excessive, excessiveforce that was used. They were setting
off fireworks inside. Not seventy peoplewere setting off fireworks. There were only
a few. And the argument isonly those people should be arrested and all
the rest of them my innocent childwho was there. Then the argument is,
hey, they called an illegal assemblyand dispersed, and they did us
(10:58):
several times. Well, the copsshouldn't get involved. It's typical all right,
deal or no deal. Federal prosecutorsgave Boeing the choice last week of
entering a guilty plea and paying afine as part of its sentence, or
facing a trial on the felony criminalcharge of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
(11:18):
Boeing took the deal. They're goingto plead guilty to a criminal fraud
charge stemming from the two crashes ofthe seven thirty seven Max jetliners that killed
three hundred and forty six people.The government had determined the company violated an
agreement that had protected it from prosecution. Wouldn't that have been great if they
said, do you want door numberone, door number two or the one
(11:39):
with the door blown out? Yeah, and this is no joke. They
have to pay what is it?An addition to two hundred and forty three
million dollars on top of the previousfine. That's you know, now we're
talking some real money. By theway when a company pleads guilty, you
know, the entire company goes toprison. Everybody no that it's kind of
(12:00):
hard and they only have two bunks. And yeah, so in any case,
companies can be convicted. But obviouslyit's just a fine, or it's
compliance or and or compliance issues.You must do ABC and D in addition
to paying a fine, which isexactly what Boeing is agreeing to. All
(12:24):
right, speaking of best deal day. Moving to France, the French left
won the most seats in the highstake legislative elections just yesterday and they're really
just beating back that far right surge, but did not win the majority.
So now you've got, as Handelwould say, a well hung parliament political
(12:46):
paralysis. Maybe right before the Olympicscome in and say bones, you're welcome
to Israel. They're going to haveto put together a coalition government. What
is good news is the far rightdid not win. It is one of
the few countries in which the leftactually gained seats, much like England.
(13:07):
Same thing. Labor just slaughtered theTories in England and so no one knows.
By the way, there hasn't beena coalition in France and decades,
so no one really knows what's goingon. They have they're gonna have to
cobble together various parties. Is theregoing to be a pastry shortage? That's
(13:28):
all I care about. Yeah,there is. I got my and a
quick one. July fourteenth, Blus the ol day, Neil and I
will be at the Anaheim White Houseand joined Pascal old French. Yeah,
is going to be very low anyway, go to the Anaheim white House dot
com just a quick plug there.When is that? Is that this Sunday?
(13:50):
Yeah, coming up Sunday. AndI know you didn't hear it,
but Amy were not only are Neiland I are going, but we're giving
away a and our thing World Wartwo French surrender flag. Ah. Why
isn't Amy going because she would haveto pay? No, because she's going
to be out in Anaheim, Ibet. Anyways, Yeah, you want
(14:11):
to come, Amy, Disneyland's same. You're invited? Oh okay, why
not? You know Amy's invited?Michelle? Do you want to come?
You're invited? Cone Sugar and hastheir own booth over there at Chef Bruno
loves Michelle. Yeah, and thisis yeah, come on down. I
mean you, all of you areinvited and everybody else is invited, and
(14:31):
there's only one difference, of courseyou don't. Oh yeah, yeah,
you stay, you pay. Wow. It had so quickly become something not
from something nice to you being ad about Yeah, Beryl has barreled into
Texas. Hurricane Beryl made landfall thismorning on the central Texas coastline. It
(14:54):
hit land between Galveston and Corpus Christy. Is a Category one storm with sustained
winds of at least seventy four milesper hour. Expecting some flooding. There's
tornado warnings. And then this isthe part that I think is so interesting.
I'm talking to ABC's Jim Ryan aboutthis. A flood watch is in
effect for all the way from Texasinto Illinois. Yeah, it's a lot
(15:18):
of fun. And Galveston, Texasis one of the areas in which it
is going to hit. Very famousHurricane Galveston, Texas. It's turn of
the last century. Four thousand peopledied because no, in those days,
you didn't know that it was comingand they got hit straight on Galveston,
Texas. So at least everybody knowsand you know, they're putting up boards
(15:41):
in front of their windows and sandbagsand getting the hell out. So today,
you know, yout thousands of peopledying. And also the amount of
rain. You know, one ortwo inches of rain used to be a
lot of rain. Now in certainplaces here it's fifteen inches of rain.
Now when you talk about rain,it's by the foot, not by the
(16:03):
inch. You know, it's crazywhen we for three years ago, we
bought a place, a little cabinup in Big Bear and we had friends
that had lived up there for sixseven years or something, and they're like,
it never gets above eighty two here. It was like ninety seven this
weekend in Big Bear. Yeah,weather is going at creze. Yeah.
(16:26):
My good friend Saville, who livesin Las Vegas, and I lived in
Las Vegas for a few months,right, Yeah, that was great for
all of us. Yeah, Iknow, it was a good show.
One hundred and eighteen degrees in LasVegas. I don't know if you've ever
been in that kind of a weather, but just let me give you an
idea. You step outside and it'seither the Las Vegas heat or in a
(16:48):
normal let's say normal weather period.You take a hair dryer, you put
it on full blast, as hotas it will go, and your face
with it. That's the kind ofheat it is. In Las Vegas,
it's yeah, you know, you'reright, it's like New York. No,
no, no, no, it'snot the way. It is a
(17:11):
dry heat, Michelle. And sowe're baking cookies at three hundred and fifty
degrees. That's a dry heat too. The difference in New York is there
the humidity from all the urine onthe streets. Not anymore. In the
metro stations too. It's worse now, that's true, and so here it's
it was not, by the way, we had some insane weather, although
(17:33):
southern California it was. We werevery lucky. But the rest of the
state, well, you got therest of state burning up and it's hot.
But it's not a Schwitz. Yougo to New York, it's a
it's heat plause. It's a Schwitz. You're shwimming in your shorts. And
I'd like to thank my nephew forgetting married at the end of July in
(17:57):
New York. Oh are you goingto be yes, it's going to be
an outdoor wedding. Oh yes,oh god, no, damn Okay,
yeah, dressed, and I'll getyou a fan. Yeah. I don't
even bother showering, because you shower, you step outside and you're stepping into
a shower. So it's a lotof fun. You know. The last
(18:18):
thing we need to import or exportfrom Los Angeles is our crime. Orange
County will not have any of it. The three men that killed that New
Zealand tourist in Newport Beach and thatbotched robbery there have been arrested, and
one of them this would be histhird strike because we don't put people away
(18:42):
in Los Angeles and just a horriblesituation. We were blown away. If
you didn't don't remember, it wasat Fashion Island, I believe there.
Yeah, Newport Beach is Fashion Island, and they tried to grab her purse
or something. She ended up underneaththe v vehicle they drove over her.
Good Samaritans jumped in. I believeat least one of these wing nuts fired
(19:07):
three shots at the Good Samaritans asthey drove off, and they all need
to be put to death. Andthey're being charged with murder for a degree
murder and death penalty special circumstances.The story. I also mentions paragraph two
that McCrary, one of them,who was the third striker, hadn't served
(19:30):
prison time for his previous felony convictions. I am assuming that those felony convictions
were not violent crime. Still afelony, felony of a residential burger,
Yeah, that's it. So theyare criminal threats. And two, well,
I think that's a violent crime.So a lot of question violent crime.
I think burglary is considered a violentI don't know if it is.
(19:52):
I don't know if it is ifno one is home getting I'm getting waved
off by Kno, he's saying it'snot. I don't think it is.
If no one is home and heyou know, he's done these things.
I understand Cony knows. Anyway,it's now, this is Orange County.
This is Todd Spitzerland. Oh no. And Todd came out and he said
lawless and violence will not be toleratedin our society, and by that he
(20:17):
means in Orange County. Yeah,so let me tell you there's not going
to be much of an issue ofthe prosecution in this one. The heat
turned deadly in Death Valley. Temperatureshit one hundred and twenty eight degrees in
Death Valley on Saturday. That's arecord, and there were a there was
(20:38):
a group of motorcyclists who went ridingin that heat. One of them died,
another was taken to the hospital andthe emergency medical helicopters couldn't get to
them to help because it's not safefor them to fly when it's over one
hundred twenty degrees. Oh yeah,still going to mess with everything. The
era is too thin to support aa helicopter the rotors. So now here's
(21:04):
the question. From what I understand, I'm not a motorcycle rider, but
I don't think motorcycles are air conditionedif I have it right, If you
go fast enough, well it doesn'tseem if you're talking about one hundred and
twenty eight degrees, this sort ofdoesn't matter how fast you go. Death
Valley World Record. The hottest placeon Earth ever was Death Valley. That
(21:26):
was one hundred and thirty four degrees. That's pleasant. Well here's the thing,
you know, and we all dostupid things, but when you go
where are you're going to go?Ride in Death Valley? Why do they
call it Death Valley because of theheat. How about a nice ride around
the coast or something. Yeah,you would think so, you would think
so, so you know why youwould do There are people that hike through
(21:47):
Death Valley. I just don't getit. I would drive through Death Valley
with air conditioning. Don't they haveruns through Death Valley? Yeah? Yeah,
it's I don't think they're in themiddle of some though. But still,
I mean that's kind of crazy.That's a Darwin Award winner, by
the way, just to let youknow when you die, that's not even
(22:07):
finalist. You know, there arewinners, and that's one of them.
All right. Biden joked about darkBrandon coming back while campaigning in Pennsylvania,
and if you remember, this isa reference to the now famous meme of
his lasers coming out of his eyesand everything like that, Like he's he's
getting charged up now, and youknow, I just feel like like you
(22:33):
flicked it, old man in theforehead and he's like, oh now you've
done it. Nah, you doneit. You got me riled, Okay,
hold me back. It's like it'snot making it any better. I
know. It's a This is atough one, and a lot of people
think he is not coming back forthis one. From this one tomorrow and
Michelle came up with this idea.We're gonna do speeches that have changed campaigns,
(23:00):
particularly the famous checker speech of RichardNixon in the nineteen fifty two Eisenhower
campaign. And it's really interesting.So tomorrow will do that, Michelle,
Do you know what time you wantto do that? Sure? What time?
But it's okay the old you know, one speech can turn a campaign
around. Yeah, people are hopingfor yeah, one sentence. They want
(23:25):
to know his checkers speech. Yeah. More calls are coming from Biden's side
of the aisle for him to callit quits. Several senior House Democrats were
on a phone call with Minority LeaderHakim Jeffrey's yesterday afternoon apparently was supposed to
be private, but well nothing's private, and it's got out. Mark Tocano
from California, along with Representative JerryNadler from New York, Washington's Adam Smith
(23:51):
and New York's Joe Morell all saythey want Biden to step aside. Yeah,
and that's growing, that's growing.It is not going to happen.
He will stay in the race becausethat's the kind of guy he is.
Did you watch the interview with Georgeyes, I did. I did.
It wasn't bad. It wasn't Yeah, it wasn't particularly good. It just
(24:11):
wasn't bad. I think he Ithink all only he had to prove that
he was lucid and cogent and hadcognitive abilities, which he did. He
said he had genital difficulties. Idon't even know what that means. Well,
he doesn't either, but he saidit during the interview. Uh.
Yeah, it's he's not coming backfrom that. It's just not gonna happen.
(24:33):
But he's staying in the race.Which he's staying in the race,
which means that if Trump listens tohis advisors, all Trump has to do
is stay mum. Uh, hedoes not have to come up with his
wild accusations and wild facts that aren'tfacts. Hey, just relax, you
(24:55):
got the race, You have it. What was crazy? At one point,
snuffle up A guess asked him orwas talking to Biden, and Biden
made some comment about bringing out somebig crowds, and snuffle up a guess
said, I don't know that youshould be comparing crowds with Trump, because
Trump brings crowds. Oh yeah,I mean that's you talk about Trump's supporters.
(25:22):
I've never seen engagement like that inmy life. The MAGA Republicans are
just insanely engaged. Well, likeI spent over the weekend at this parade,
sitting watching this parade in Orange County, a golf cart parade, and
then the lady behind me screaming,USA, Trump, Trump, USA.
(25:47):
Yeah. So radio host, andI'm gonna go with Andrea I don't know
her lawful Sanders. She has partedways with w u r D after a
Biden interview with preset questions, soapparently without the knowledge of the radio company
(26:08):
WROD that she negotiated that she wouldget preset questions and she in journalism.
This no, no, this isn'tlike a talk show host where you know,
you could do whatever you wanted inthat sense. But so she's part
of the way. Now it saysthat she, you know, gave her
(26:33):
resignation. Yeah, just a quickinside baseball. Whenever an interview is done,
it used to be more than now. You would get suggested questions from
the pr people. They would say, here are some and if you were
incredibly lazy, you would use thosequestions, which of course were puffball questions.
(26:56):
I would never use them. Becausethey were thing but puffball questions to
promote whoever it is, the author, the person who is running a company
or whatever. But I used todo that when I was interviewing. When
I was interviewing the governor, youknow, for example, Schwarzenegger, I
(27:18):
got these questions. Here's some questionsto ask the governor, and of course
I ignored those. But I don'tget why she lost her her job.
And by the way, you don'tshare that with management. You to go
here the questions and here's the interview. But I guess it was I guess
she did. Why go ahead.I would think as a journalist it's different.
(27:45):
Yeah, I would think a journalistsis different. Well, they're using
the word host. I get it, but it's a there's some time because
there was flack. A lot ofpeople gave pushback. In another interviewer from
a different station that was told thatwhen they were going to do an interview
with Biden it was non negotiable.It wasn't suggesting that's true. It's true,
(28:07):
and that I think therein lies theproblem. I've had politicians and we're
saying you have to ask these questions. I said, you're dreaming. I
was going to just bring that up. In fact, you were supposed to
interview Trump on KFI many years ago, and they wanted you to ask certain
questions and you said, no,we don't take questions before him, and
they said no. Same with HillaryClinton. You were supposed to interview Hillary
(28:30):
Clinton and they said, these arethe questions you can ask her and you
said absolutely none. Yeah, I'llask whatever I want. But the problem
is do you get fired for doingthose puffball questions? I guess in an
interview with President Biden? I guessif you follow those questions, you get
canned. All right, Well that'snot unusual. What after a bad showing
(28:51):
at the debate and people wanting toknow, Yeah, no, I agree
with you with you, but Ihad no I agree with you? But
should she gets fire? Because that'sdone all the times? This is not
an outlier story that doesn't say shegot fired though she resigned. Yeah,
well that means she got fired.Okay, she's doing more things, wanting
to spend more time with her family, that's correct, and they wish her
(29:17):
good luck in her future endeavors.Okay, one more story, Amy,
Oh yeah, it's like biodome oncheers. Remember biodome from cheers. There
were these NASA volunteers who have justemerged from their simulated Mars environment. They
(29:37):
spent twelve months inside this man madeenvironment at the Johnson Space Center in Houston
to get ready for what life isgoing to be like on Mars. And
they just came out yesterday that fourpeople spent a year together. Yeah.
Now when they came out, theyall came out with lacerations from being stabbed
by each other. Oh they didn't. Seventeen thousand square feet that's about four
(30:03):
houses, right, it depends onthe size of the house. Okay,
for you, it's two houses.No, well, okay, let's just
move on. Okay, we aredone. Wait one more for you,
Bill, just because it's Costco.So I'm gonna steal one of enemies.
And this is that Costco's rotisserie chickenthat is normally served in that black and
clear case thing will now be putinto plastic bags like other retailers do,
(30:30):
and all hell is gonna break.Yeah, people are losing their mind,
losing their I agree, I agree, that is a Yeah, that's an
iconic package. But they still fivebucks, Still five bucks for a chicken
that weighs thirty four pounds and thatis the biggest it is. It's fabulous
(30:51):
chicken. Okay, we're done,guys. KFI AM six forty Live everywhere

producer for twenty five years, twentysix, twenty six years, but who's
counting, and then became the executiveproducer of the entire station and occasionally,
(02:15):
when needed, she comes back andfills in and gets to wake up at
the middle of the crack of thenight. That's right, Yeah, isn't
that fun old time sake? Yep? All right, Neil, good morning,
Good morning, Willie Wolf, Yes, and Cono there you are.
There is good way. Oh man, We've got so much to cover today.
(02:38):
First of all, tomorrow, rememberI've been telling you about the podcast
that I've been working on for awhile. Tomorrow the first podcast drops.
The first episode drops, and it'sat nine o'clock right after the show,
but you can listen to it anytimethat's the beauty of podcasts, and it
is a little bit different. I'mnot stuck with the time situation, you
(03:00):
know, with these segment times.We had to go to break none of
that, and I can say thingsI can't say, and I dive a
little deeper into topics. And thefirst two episodes it's Monday and Wednesday,
excuse me, Tuesday and Thursday.We dropped the episodes or two a week.
We're starting with that, and thefirst two are going to be How
(03:22):
I got here, the story ofmy grandparents, my parents. If you've
heard the background before, it's reallyan extraordinary story of my grandparents and parents
in World War two and the Holocaust. I mean it's and then how I
came to America and all of that. It's kind of fun, well unless
you were in the Holocaust, andit's not so much fun. Okay.
(03:45):
So that is first and foremost,also a quick one, and this is
before we get to the news.Coming up this Sunday at the Anaheim White
House, Neil and I will bethere seven o'clock and it is a Bastile
Day celelebration Day, Steel Day.It is a French version of their July
fourth and Neil and I are goingto be there and we're inviting you to
(04:10):
join us. Of course you getto pay, it's eighty five dollars per
head. But it is a Frenchmenu and of course the way Bruno cooks,
and there's a celebrity French chef andjust it should be a lot of
fun. It's all French. Youcan go to Anaheim white House dot com.
Love to see you there. Andwhat else he'll be French fries,
(04:33):
French dressing. Yes. However,however, I'll tell you, I'll tell
you what we are giving away.We are giving away an authentic World War
two white surrender flag and that willbe given away to one of the people
that show up. Well, we'rethinking of possibly a race whoever can run
(04:56):
the fastest backwards. Yeah. So, and by the way, for those
of you that are French and youknow you're offended by all the jokes we
make about the French surrendering, it'sabsolutely true. That's exactly what happened.
So it should be a lot offun. The menu is up there,
go to Anaheim white House dot com. Also July fourth, that was a
(05:21):
lot of fun. I was atLindsay's parents place and it's a gated community
where everybody has a golf cart andthey dress up the golf carts. July
fourth and there's a parade, agolf cart parade. It is a golf
cart parade. They do it twicein a year on Yeah, yeah,
that's on Instagram. It's a golfcart. Never heard anything more Caucasian in
(05:45):
my life, that's all. Letme tell you. It was so Caucasian.
You can see people that were linedup in front of their houses.
And there was a woman behind mewho was so obnoxious every time a golf
cart went past. And of coursered, white and blue. You'll you'll
see that on Instagram at Bill HandleShow and it's you can see how they
(06:05):
dress up the golf carts. Andso there's women behind me as the golf
carts are passing screaming us A Trump, USA, Trump, USA. I
mean, I was just so obnoxious. People are going, come on,
really, this is you want tokick the politics out of it this time
USA Trump. There was one JoeBiden cart, but it was broken down,
(06:30):
uh and the wheels were off flat. It kept going in circles.
Yeah, oh poor Joe. Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that yeah,
we we have a lot going on. We're a mess. I saw
something the other day, a memethat said, don't bother me this weekend,
(06:51):
I'm watching the season finale of America'sI know it's a heartbreaker, although
I tell you it's his fault.I said very early on saying this guy
should not go a second term.He is the best candidate for Donald Trump.
(07:12):
You are starting to get more andmore Democrats trying to make excuses,
so many excuses for Biden. Ithink they will put Trump in the White
House more than trump voters will puthim in the White House. Oh,
absolutely absolutely. Or if he decideswhat she's not going to because he is
(07:33):
half delusional thinking that he's fine evenas he babbles through, which is so
unfortunate, as he is convinced thathe is the guy to beat Trump.
So let's say he decides to dropout. The pressure is so great,
and Kamala Harris becomes the candidate,not because she's good, not because the
(07:54):
voters like her, not because she'sgone through the battle of the primaries,
so we know who she is simplyby virtue of the fact she is a
candidate. He chose her to bea candidate, and so look what we
have. We've got Kamala Harris versusDonald Trump. Can you imagine anything worse
(08:16):
than that? Boy? What choiceswe have? Or Donald Trump versus Joe
Biden. Joe Biden a great guy, heartfelt. I think he's way too
liberal for my politics, but honest, just a basically good guy and not
self aggrandizing. What makes him tooliberal for you because I find out he's
(08:37):
so pro he's so pro union,anti business. He initially, you know,
when he first became president, hedecided he was Emma Lazarus. Uh,
send me your wretched, your poor, and you know that wide open.
Yeah. Just I mean, onand on and on. I mean,
there's a taxation for the wealthy.Anybody who makes more than four dollars
(09:01):
a year has to pay their fairshare. I love that. Liberals always
say, had you, anybody whohas money, you have to pay your
fair share? Not you have tosupport the economy, Not you. The
top twenty percent are paying eighty percentof the taxes. No, none of
that. It's fair share. Idon't know what your fair share is.
(09:22):
You have to pay my fair share? Yeah, yeah, you know,
what was it? Bernie Sanders wasasked, what do you think wealthy people?
What percentage of taxa should wealth wealthypeople pay? And he goes,
I don't know. I'll tell youwhen I see it. Like porn.
Yeah, yeah, I don't knowit, but I can explain it when
I see it. I know itwhen I see it. And someone through
(09:45):
out there, how about seventy percent? He goes, that's close. It's
Bernie Sanders. Okay, Wow,we got a lot going on today,
so let's do one story before wetake a break, okay, and then
we will continue on and really getinto a handle on the news. Lead
story, all right, Seventy juvenilesdetained and cited Saturday night a mall in
(10:13):
Carson basically all got together and startedgoing nuts. The Sheriff's department comes in,
calls for an unlawful assembly. Theywouldn't, and they set off illegal
fireworks inside the inside the store,started a fire inside of a trash can.
This is in the mall, andthey were arrested. Of course,
(10:35):
people were saying that's excessive, excessiveforce that was used. They were setting
off fireworks inside. Not seventy peoplewere setting off fireworks. There were only
a few. And the argument isonly those people should be arrested and all
the rest of them my innocent childwho was there. Then the argument is,
hey, they called an illegal assemblyand dispersed, and they did us
(10:58):
several times. Well, the copsshouldn't get involved. It's typical all right,
deal or no deal. Federal prosecutorsgave Boeing the choice last week of
entering a guilty plea and paying afine as part of its sentence, or
facing a trial on the felony criminalcharge of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
(11:18):
Boeing took the deal. They're goingto plead guilty to a criminal fraud
charge stemming from the two crashes ofthe seven thirty seven Max jetliners that killed
three hundred and forty six people.The government had determined the company violated an
agreement that had protected it from prosecution. Wouldn't that have been great if they
said, do you want door numberone, door number two or the one
(11:39):
with the door blown out? Yeah, and this is no joke. They
have to pay what is it?An addition to two hundred and forty three
million dollars on top of the previousfine. That's you know, now we're
talking some real money. By theway when a company pleads guilty, you
know, the entire company goes toprison. Everybody no that it's kind of
(12:00):
hard and they only have two bunks. And yeah, so in any case,
companies can be convicted. But obviouslyit's just a fine, or it's
compliance or and or compliance issues.You must do ABC and D in addition
to paying a fine, which isexactly what Boeing is agreeing to. All
(12:24):
right, speaking of best deal day. Moving to France, the French left
won the most seats in the highstake legislative elections just yesterday and they're really
just beating back that far right surge, but did not win the majority.
So now you've got, as Handelwould say, a well hung parliament political
(12:46):
paralysis. Maybe right before the Olympicscome in and say bones, you're welcome
to Israel. They're going to haveto put together a coalition government. What
is good news is the far rightdid not win. It is one of
the few countries in which the leftactually gained seats, much like England.
(13:07):
Same thing. Labor just slaughtered theTories in England and so no one knows.
By the way, there hasn't beena coalition in France and decades,
so no one really knows what's goingon. They have they're gonna have to
cobble together various parties. Is theregoing to be a pastry shortage? That's
(13:28):
all I care about. Yeah,there is. I got my and a
quick one. July fourteenth, Blus the ol day, Neil and I
will be at the Anaheim White Houseand joined Pascal old French. Yeah,
is going to be very low anyway, go to the Anaheim white House dot
com just a quick plug there.When is that? Is that this Sunday?
(13:50):
Yeah, coming up Sunday. AndI know you didn't hear it,
but Amy were not only are Neiland I are going, but we're giving
away a and our thing World Wartwo French surrender flag. Ah. Why
isn't Amy going because she would haveto pay? No, because she's going
to be out in Anaheim, Ibet. Anyways, Yeah, you want
(14:11):
to come, Amy, Disneyland's same. You're invited? Oh okay, why
not? You know Amy's invited?Michelle? Do you want to come?
You're invited? Cone Sugar and hastheir own booth over there at Chef Bruno
loves Michelle. Yeah, and thisis yeah, come on down. I
mean you, all of you areinvited and everybody else is invited, and
(14:31):
there's only one difference, of courseyou don't. Oh yeah, yeah,
you stay, you pay. Wow. It had so quickly become something not
from something nice to you being ad about Yeah, Beryl has barreled into
Texas. Hurricane Beryl made landfall thismorning on the central Texas coastline. It
(14:54):
hit land between Galveston and Corpus Christy. Is a Category one storm with sustained
winds of at least seventy four milesper hour. Expecting some flooding. There's
tornado warnings. And then this isthe part that I think is so interesting.
I'm talking to ABC's Jim Ryan aboutthis. A flood watch is in
effect for all the way from Texasinto Illinois. Yeah, it's a lot
(15:18):
of fun. And Galveston, Texasis one of the areas in which it
is going to hit. Very famousHurricane Galveston, Texas. It's turn of
the last century. Four thousand peopledied because no, in those days,
you didn't know that it was comingand they got hit straight on Galveston,
Texas. So at least everybody knowsand you know, they're putting up boards
(15:41):
in front of their windows and sandbagsand getting the hell out. So today,
you know, yout thousands of peopledying. And also the amount of
rain. You know, one ortwo inches of rain used to be a
lot of rain. Now in certainplaces here it's fifteen inches of rain.
Now when you talk about rain,it's by the foot, not by the
(16:03):
inch. You know, it's crazywhen we for three years ago, we
bought a place, a little cabinup in Big Bear and we had friends
that had lived up there for sixseven years or something, and they're like,
it never gets above eighty two here. It was like ninety seven this
weekend in Big Bear. Yeah,weather is going at creze. Yeah.
(16:26):
My good friend Saville, who livesin Las Vegas, and I lived in
Las Vegas for a few months,right, Yeah, that was great for
all of us. Yeah, Iknow, it was a good show.
One hundred and eighteen degrees in LasVegas. I don't know if you've ever
been in that kind of a weather, but just let me give you an
idea. You step outside and it'seither the Las Vegas heat or in a
(16:48):
normal let's say normal weather period.You take a hair dryer, you put
it on full blast, as hotas it will go, and your face
with it. That's the kind ofheat it is. In Las Vegas,
it's yeah, you know, you'reright, it's like New York. No,
no, no, no, it'snot the way. It is a
(17:11):
dry heat, Michelle. And sowe're baking cookies at three hundred and fifty
degrees. That's a dry heat too. The difference in New York is there
the humidity from all the urine onthe streets. Not anymore. In the
metro stations too. It's worse now, that's true, and so here it's
it was not, by the way, we had some insane weather, although
(17:33):
southern California it was. We werevery lucky. But the rest of the
state, well, you got therest of state burning up and it's hot.
But it's not a Schwitz. Yougo to New York, it's a
it's heat plause. It's a Schwitz. You're shwimming in your shorts. And
I'd like to thank my nephew forgetting married at the end of July in
(17:57):
New York. Oh are you goingto be yes, it's going to be
an outdoor wedding. Oh yes,oh god, no, damn Okay,
yeah, dressed, and I'll getyou a fan. Yeah. I don't
even bother showering, because you shower, you step outside and you're stepping into
a shower. So it's a lotof fun. You know. The last
(18:18):
thing we need to import or exportfrom Los Angeles is our crime. Orange
County will not have any of it. The three men that killed that New
Zealand tourist in Newport Beach and thatbotched robbery there have been arrested, and
one of them this would be histhird strike because we don't put people away
(18:42):
in Los Angeles and just a horriblesituation. We were blown away. If
you didn't don't remember, it wasat Fashion Island, I believe there.
Yeah, Newport Beach is Fashion Island, and they tried to grab her purse
or something. She ended up underneaththe v vehicle they drove over her.
Good Samaritans jumped in. I believeat least one of these wing nuts fired
(19:07):
three shots at the Good Samaritans asthey drove off, and they all need
to be put to death. Andthey're being charged with murder for a degree
murder and death penalty special circumstances.The story. I also mentions paragraph two
that McCrary, one of them,who was the third striker, hadn't served
(19:30):
prison time for his previous felony convictions. I am assuming that those felony convictions
were not violent crime. Still afelony, felony of a residential burger,
Yeah, that's it. So theyare criminal threats. And two, well,
I think that's a violent crime.So a lot of question violent crime.
I think burglary is considered a violentI don't know if it is.
(19:52):
I don't know if it is ifno one is home getting I'm getting waved
off by Kno, he's saying it'snot. I don't think it is.
If no one is home and heyou know, he's done these things.
I understand Cony knows. Anyway,it's now, this is Orange County.
This is Todd Spitzerland. Oh no. And Todd came out and he said
lawless and violence will not be toleratedin our society, and by that he
(20:17):
means in Orange County. Yeah,so let me tell you there's not going
to be much of an issue ofthe prosecution in this one. The heat
turned deadly in Death Valley. Temperatureshit one hundred and twenty eight degrees in
Death Valley on Saturday. That's arecord, and there were a there was
(20:38):
a group of motorcyclists who went ridingin that heat. One of them died,
another was taken to the hospital andthe emergency medical helicopters couldn't get to
them to help because it's not safefor them to fly when it's over one
hundred twenty degrees. Oh yeah,still going to mess with everything. The
era is too thin to support aa helicopter the rotors. So now here's
(21:04):
the question. From what I understand, I'm not a motorcycle rider, but
I don't think motorcycles are air conditionedif I have it right, If you
go fast enough, well it doesn'tseem if you're talking about one hundred and
twenty eight degrees, this sort ofdoesn't matter how fast you go. Death
Valley World Record. The hottest placeon Earth ever was Death Valley. That
(21:26):
was one hundred and thirty four degrees. That's pleasant. Well here's the thing,
you know, and we all dostupid things, but when you go
where are you're going to go?Ride in Death Valley? Why do they
call it Death Valley because of theheat. How about a nice ride around
the coast or something. Yeah,you would think so, you would think
so, so you know why youwould do There are people that hike through
(21:47):
Death Valley. I just don't getit. I would drive through Death Valley
with air conditioning. Don't they haveruns through Death Valley? Yeah? Yeah,
it's I don't think they're in themiddle of some though. But still,
I mean that's kind of crazy.That's a Darwin Award winner, by
the way, just to let youknow when you die, that's not even
(22:07):
finalist. You know, there arewinners, and that's one of them.
All right. Biden joked about darkBrandon coming back while campaigning in Pennsylvania,
and if you remember, this isa reference to the now famous meme of
his lasers coming out of his eyesand everything like that, Like he's he's
getting charged up now, and youknow, I just feel like like you
(22:33):
flicked it, old man in theforehead and he's like, oh now you've
done it. Nah, you doneit. You got me riled, Okay,
hold me back. It's like it'snot making it any better. I
know. It's a This is atough one, and a lot of people
think he is not coming back forthis one. From this one tomorrow and
Michelle came up with this idea.We're gonna do speeches that have changed campaigns,
(23:00):
particularly the famous checker speech of RichardNixon in the nineteen fifty two Eisenhower
campaign. And it's really interesting.So tomorrow will do that, Michelle,
Do you know what time you wantto do that? Sure? What time?
But it's okay the old you know, one speech can turn a campaign
around. Yeah, people are hopingfor yeah, one sentence. They want
(23:25):
to know his checkers speech. Yeah. More calls are coming from Biden's side
of the aisle for him to callit quits. Several senior House Democrats were
on a phone call with Minority LeaderHakim Jeffrey's yesterday afternoon apparently was supposed to
be private, but well nothing's private, and it's got out. Mark Tocano
from California, along with Representative JerryNadler from New York, Washington's Adam Smith
(23:51):
and New York's Joe Morell all saythey want Biden to step aside. Yeah,
and that's growing, that's growing.It is not going to happen.
He will stay in the race becausethat's the kind of guy he is.
Did you watch the interview with Georgeyes, I did. I did.
It wasn't bad. It wasn't Yeah, it wasn't particularly good. It just
(24:11):
wasn't bad. I think he Ithink all only he had to prove that
he was lucid and cogent and hadcognitive abilities, which he did. He
said he had genital difficulties. Idon't even know what that means. Well,
he doesn't either, but he saidit during the interview. Uh.
Yeah, it's he's not coming backfrom that. It's just not gonna happen.
(24:33):
But he's staying in the race.Which he's staying in the race,
which means that if Trump listens tohis advisors, all Trump has to do
is stay mum. Uh, hedoes not have to come up with his
wild accusations and wild facts that aren'tfacts. Hey, just relax, you
(24:55):
got the race, You have it. What was crazy? At one point,
snuffle up A guess asked him orwas talking to Biden, and Biden
made some comment about bringing out somebig crowds, and snuffle up a guess
said, I don't know that youshould be comparing crowds with Trump, because
Trump brings crowds. Oh yeah,I mean that's you talk about Trump's supporters.
(25:22):
I've never seen engagement like that inmy life. The MAGA Republicans are
just insanely engaged. Well, likeI spent over the weekend at this parade,
sitting watching this parade in Orange County, a golf cart parade, and
then the lady behind me screaming,USA, Trump, Trump, USA.
(25:47):
Yeah. So radio host, andI'm gonna go with Andrea I don't know
her lawful Sanders. She has partedways with w u r D after a
Biden interview with preset questions, soapparently without the knowledge of the radio company
(26:08):
WROD that she negotiated that she wouldget preset questions and she in journalism.
This no, no, this isn'tlike a talk show host where you know,
you could do whatever you wanted inthat sense. But so she's part
of the way. Now it saysthat she, you know, gave her
(26:33):
resignation. Yeah, just a quickinside baseball. Whenever an interview is done,
it used to be more than now. You would get suggested questions from
the pr people. They would say, here are some and if you were
incredibly lazy, you would use thosequestions, which of course were puffball questions.
(26:56):
I would never use them. Becausethey were thing but puffball questions to
promote whoever it is, the author, the person who is running a company
or whatever. But I used todo that when I was interviewing. When
I was interviewing the governor, youknow, for example, Schwarzenegger, I
(27:18):
got these questions. Here's some questionsto ask the governor, and of course
I ignored those. But I don'tget why she lost her her job.
And by the way, you don'tshare that with management. You to go
here the questions and here's the interview. But I guess it was I guess
she did. Why go ahead.I would think as a journalist it's different.
(27:45):
Yeah, I would think a journalistsis different. Well, they're using
the word host. I get it, but it's a there's some time because
there was flack. A lot ofpeople gave pushback. In another interviewer from
a different station that was told thatwhen they were going to do an interview
with Biden it was non negotiable.It wasn't suggesting that's true. It's true,
(28:07):
and that I think therein lies theproblem. I've had politicians and we're
saying you have to ask these questions. I said, you're dreaming. I
was going to just bring that up. In fact, you were supposed to
interview Trump on KFI many years ago, and they wanted you to ask certain
questions and you said, no,we don't take questions before him, and
they said no. Same with HillaryClinton. You were supposed to interview Hillary
(28:30):
Clinton and they said, these arethe questions you can ask her and you
said absolutely none. Yeah, I'llask whatever I want. But the problem
is do you get fired for doingthose puffball questions? I guess in an
interview with President Biden? I guessif you follow those questions, you get
canned. All right, Well that'snot unusual. What after a bad showing
(28:51):
at the debate and people wanting toknow, Yeah, no, I agree
with you with you, but Ihad no I agree with you? But
should she gets fire? Because that'sdone all the times? This is not
an outlier story that doesn't say shegot fired though she resigned. Yeah,
well that means she got fired.Okay, she's doing more things, wanting
to spend more time with her family, that's correct, and they wish her
(29:17):
good luck in her future endeavors.Okay, one more story, Amy,
Oh yeah, it's like biodome oncheers. Remember biodome from cheers. There
were these NASA volunteers who have justemerged from their simulated Mars environment. They
(29:37):
spent twelve months inside this man madeenvironment at the Johnson Space Center in Houston
to get ready for what life isgoing to be like on Mars. And
they just came out yesterday that fourpeople spent a year together. Yeah.
Now when they came out, theyall came out with lacerations from being stabbed
by each other. Oh they didn't. Seventeen thousand square feet that's about four
(30:03):
houses, right, it depends onthe size of the house. Okay,
for you, it's two houses.No, well, okay, let's just
move on. Okay, we aredone. Wait one more for you,
Bill, just because it's Costco.So I'm gonna steal one of enemies.
And this is that Costco's rotisserie chickenthat is normally served in that black and
clear case thing will now be putinto plastic bags like other retailers do,
(30:30):
and all hell is gonna break.Yeah, people are losing their mind,
losing their I agree, I agree, that is a Yeah, that's an
iconic package. But they still fivebucks, Still five bucks for a chicken
that weighs thirty four pounds and thatis the biggest it is. It's fabulous
(30:51):
chicken. Okay, we're done,guys. KFI AM six forty Live everywhere
