and now handle on the news,ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle,
and good morning everybody. Thursday morning, July eighteenth. Yeah, here we
go, another hot day. Amy, when's this hot day stuff going to
(00:45):
stop? It's not going to stopfor a while. It's actually heating up
because we have excessive heat watches ineffect from tomorrow until Wednesday. So you
go from insanely hot to particularly insanelyhot, prohibitively punitively hot. Yeah,
very special, all right, Goodmorning, Amy, Good morning, Bill,
good morning, and the neil Meister, Good morning, Willie wolf Esquire.
(01:08):
Yes, I'm okay, I'm okay, And there is Ann good morning,
Good morning, Bill, good morning, and then Nakono good morning.
Hi. Hi. Tonight's the night, by the way, guys, when
we are here seeing Donald Trump acceptthe nomination. Everybody anxiously awaiting. Now
(01:29):
here's a question. Is he goingto be brought in in one of those
sedan chairs you know that carried byYou've got four guys on each side with
a pole like an attention queen.Yeah, yeah, sort of like you
know with really buff, gay bodybuildertypes that are in loincloths. He should
be brought in on a stretch becausehe's really hurt. Yeah, that's true.
(01:49):
With his his ear, wouldn't itbe? Do you remember young Frankenstein
with Igor having the switched on eitherside or Igor hump on either side.
Trump should do that with one earone night, one ear the other night.
It was it you that told meabout the meme with Trump as van
(02:14):
Go with his ear missing that bandageon ear, very very strong. You
know, a lot is lost.One that a you know, former president
had an attempted assassination and then aman died who was witnessing this, and
a lot of that gets lost.But I will tell you I have been
(02:36):
very impressed by the amount of memesand the like that came out immediately.
Wait till Joe Biden bails out becauseof effectively old age incapacitation, inability to
have cognitive abilities ear going to seethose memes explode death. Well, it
(03:01):
is interesting to see you. It'swhat we did where president get shot at
and then show up to his thingsand then the other one effectively get a
pretty bad cold. Ye, siteverything out. Well that's a little bit
different. I think the biggest storyof a former president this was exactly a
former president, Teddy Roosevelt, whenhe was running for office in nineteen twelve
(03:25):
at a campaign event, got shotin the chest, bullet entered his body.
He finished the speech. I thoughthe got shot in the ass.
No, he did not get shotin the ass. You get shot in
the ass. We get shot inthe ass every day on this show.
No, he got shot that whatthat is? Yeah he was and he
(03:47):
just finished the speech. Well,I told you, I'm reading a biography
of ted Teddy Roosevelt. It's insanity. I mean that what he just say,
it's mind boggling. The kind ofman he was. Mind boggling.
And let's do a podcast. Let'sdo a podcast on being shot and talking.
Let's do can we do a podcast? I like it? You know
what? And you know Ann producesmy podcast also and she, uh,
(04:12):
we were searching for stuff all thetime. And that's I think that's a
pretty good idea. Okay, andthat's one politicians other people being shot at
or shot then then still continued onand you know, great stories of people
having their heads removed and still continuingon with whatever they were doing. Okay,
(04:32):
you've had your head in places foryears. Okay, thank you so
much. Okay, we started already, we have already started. Oh yesterday.
How long have we had Jim keatingon this show? Neil and I
would say twenty years. I wouldsay legitimately twenty years yesterday. And I
haven't seen this happen. He laughedthrough an entire segment. It was unusually
(05:00):
crude. Oh yeah, that's agiven, I know. But still still
it was very good. That wasby the way, you could listen to
that on demand, can't you.The Jim Kiney segment. Yeah, I
think we did that as sind Yeah, that's fun. And the podcast,
by the way we're talking about isthis morning at nine o'clock, the next
episode drops and this has to dowith it's the episode number two as to
(05:28):
what happened this past week with theRNC and of course, the assassination attempt
upon former President Trump. All right, guys, you're ready to do it.
We've got some news to share withyou today. It's time for a
handle on the news. Amy King, Nil Sevadra and me lead story.
Oh okay, one more democrat andwe're not talking about just a Democrat.
(05:55):
Democrat talking about Adam Schiff, oneof the premier Democrats in Congress, has
told President Biden it is time topass the torch as it will. And
President Biden had to cancel an eventin Las Vegas because he got COVID and
(06:15):
he went back on Air Force Oneand as he walked up the steps,
my god, this is one beyondjust a man who has a cold.
I mean, he barely made itup the steps. That's an ad for
former President Trump, for the Republicanget one of those chairs that go up
(06:36):
the stairs like they do in homes. Yeah. They could do that.
Yeah, they could do that.Yeah, and he could just wave the
whole way up. Now. Didyou know that the first Air Force one,
it wasn't called Air Force one atthe time, was a modified bomber
during World War Two that Franklin Rooseveltused, and it had an elevator built
(06:58):
in to the fusel, one ofthose small, almost like a residential style
elevators that he rolls wheelchair and wego up. And the press never showed
that. Well, a little factoidof history. I just wanted to share
that with you. Okay. Thepodcast, Yeah, that's that's another one.
Oh Air Force one. That's agreat podcast too. God. You
(07:20):
know, people come up with theseideas, and I love ideas. There
is an elevator on Air Force one, now, isn't there. I don't
think so. I don't think there'san elevator. Well yeah, if you
believe transformers, there is. Thankyou, thank you, And this is
where you get your news, correct, Ay, this is why you are
(07:42):
an award winning newsperson. They calledthe toilet on Air Force one. Air
Force two. Oh, very strong. Anyway, it's gonna be tough.
Adam Schiff has said that, thePresident has said, it's been it's being
reported on c end. Adam Schiffhas gone from Kamala can't win to do
(08:09):
you think Kamala can win? Inthe sense that they're sort of already saying
Kamala. That's the other thing thatpisses me off is by the very virtue
of her being the vice presidential candidateor the vice president. She is the
one that is going to be nominatedif Biden bails out. Anything to do
(08:31):
with qualifications, absolutely not. Anythingto do with her likability, absolutely not.
It's the air apparent crapola that modernpolitics has just tries to be nuts.
Okay, let's just move on.We've got plenty more to talk about
on this one. Yeah. Continuingon the Biden thread, high level heart
to heart, former House Speaker Pelosiprivately told President Biden on the phone that
(08:56):
polling showed, well maybe it wasn'tnot sure if it was on the phone,
the polling shows he can't beat Trumpand that Biden could destroy Democrats' chances
of winning the House in November ifhe continues to seek a second term.
And apparently, apparently the President pushedback and said, Nope, you're looking
at the wrong polls. I canwin. Yeah. Here's They've known each
(09:18):
other for decades, and here's theissue. Nancy Pelosi is not some obscure
congress person. This is Nancy Pelosi. And this reminds me of what happened
during Watergate with Richard Nixon and resignationin his resignation. Nope, nope,
nope, nope. And it finallytook Barry Goldwater, who had run for
(09:39):
president nineteen sixty four, was theicon of the Conservative Party Republican and he
went to had a private meeting withthree other senators, two congressmen, I
think two senators had a private meetingwith Richard. Nixon said it's over.
You're done. If you don't resign, there will be impeachment hearings and you
will be removed by a trial inthe Senate. And that's when that's when
(10:03):
Nixon finally got it. And Idon't know where it's going to be for
Biden where he gets if ever,by the way, he may not.
He may just pull in his reins. He may just go you can go
pound sand and he'll go to thevery end. I mean that's possible too,
if anybody it's him. He's thatkind of a guy. But I'm
going to see how many people ofthat ilk Adam Schiff way up there in
(10:26):
terms of the political hierarchy in theDemocratic Party, Nancy Pelosi way up there.
We'll see what he says. KamalaHarris says, absolutely not. While
she's drooling when she meets him.Yeah, because she's the error a parent.
Yeah, pretty much well, saidSenator JD. Vance officially accepted as
(10:50):
vice presidential nomination yesterday. The speechwas okay. Vance during his acceptance speech,
called on Americans to send Trump backto the White House, introduced himself
a little bit, and he pledgedto every American, no matter your party,
I will give everything I have.Yeah, but that's sort of standard.
(11:11):
You know, everybody does that.You know, we all call for
unity. Van's talked about. Forexample, look what a hero Donald Trump
was. And by the way,I'm not disagreeing that he didn't handle it
right, but he called as soonas he was shot, our former president
called for unity. He's the guythat called for unity. Usually you don't
connect the words unity and Donald Trumpin one sentence. But it's I can't
(11:33):
wait for the speech tonight. Ithink it's going to be I don't think
it's I don't think it's going tobe traditional Donald Trump attacking because he doesn't
have to. I think he mayactually listen to his speech writers and advisors
because if he goes on his normalattack, I don't think he's going to
(11:56):
use the word crooked. Joe Idon't think so. I may be wrong,
but if I were his advisor,it's a lose lose. There's no
way to win on this. WhatI tend to agree with you on this
one. Yeah. Now, hemay not listen. He has a way
of not listening to people around him. I mean, he's a pretty independent
guy when it comes to advisors.Fresh out of prison, Peter Navarro hit
(12:24):
the stage. The former Trump tradeadvisor spent four months in prison for refusing
to cooperate with a congressional investigation.He left a prison in Miami yesterday morning
and took a flight to Milwaukee andtook the stage last night. Yep.
(12:45):
And of course was a hero becausehe went to prison. Now, he
was nailed for a contempt of Congressbecause he wouldn't turn over documents, wouldn't
testify, and he argued executive privilege, which doesn't exist in his case.
He was an employee of the WhiteHouse at the time. So he lost.
And now it's all turned around.I mean everything is turned around.
(13:05):
You know, we're going back toand I'm going to continue this line.
Loyalty is loyalty to Donald Trump,is loyalty to the Constitution. Anti Donald
Trump, you are a trader tothe Constitution. And that's the part that
really troubles me. Policy wise.You know, I get it, he's
(13:26):
a conservative in many ways. Actuallyit's not, but you know, I
understand that, but just how it'sall just spun around, that just drives
me completely. Well, on theflip side, if you're black and don't
vote for Joe Biden, you ain'tblack. That's true. So that's true.
No, that's absolutely true. Iguess it's a I mean all of
(13:46):
it. Yeah, not to theextent, and by the way, I
have no problem with that. It'sjust that, you know, it's like
comparing CNN to Fox. Okay,both are biased, there's no question about
it. But it's George or Wellsanimal farm. All of us, all
of us animals are equal except USpigs or we pigs are more equal.
(14:07):
I think said US pigs are moreequal. So we're all biased. But
Fox News is on a different levelof bias. That's all. That's what
I'm saying, not the news part, by the way, just to let
you know, not the news part. I think they're not too bad,
but certainly on the talk shows.You know, Laura, I saw a
(14:28):
t shirt the other day that saidmake George Orwell fiction again. Funny,
that is very funny. Yes,all right, special cancel. We talked
a little bit about this yesterday.It is it was expected. Special Counsel
Jack Smith has formerly filled and filedrather an appeal against US District Judge A
(14:50):
Lean Cannons ruling from Monday that dismissedfor President tomil J. Trump's indictment in
his classified documents case I'll be reinstated. I talked about that yesterday. Her
decision was so out there, Imean so crazy that even Trump's supporters,
his attorneys thought it was a ridiculouslong shot Hail Mary. And she bought
(15:11):
it, she said yes. Andwhat's the reason that she dismissed the case?
Because the special counsel in this case, Jack Smith, is independent.
He's an independent counsel. Therefore,since he has no supervision, he is
a senior executive of the cabinet andhas to be confirmed by the Senate,
(15:37):
and he wasn't. And the fundingof his office right to pay the phone
bills in his office. Congress hasto okay that because of the funding clause,
and Congress did not okay the paymentof that phone bill or the installation
of that copier. Therefore, theentire appointment of Jack Smith is unconstitutional.
(16:00):
I mean, I tell you you'vegot people constitutional scholars that are scratching their
heads and go, huh so,I guarantee you this will go the other
way on appeal. Looks like theshooter was spotted way before the assassination attempt.
Officials say snipers spotted the guy whoshot at President Trump or former President
(16:27):
Trump on the roof of a buildingoutside the security zone at the rally on
Saturday in Pennsylvania at five point fiftytwo pm. The shooting happened at six
twelve, twenty minutes later. Youknow, there's a lot of conversation.
There's going to be a lot ofscrutiny of the Secret Service. Boy,
the Secret Service screwed the pooch onthis one. I mean, this is
(16:48):
not good news for the Secret Service. Have you seen the memes about the
Secret Service out there? Yeah?Those are insane. I think that's the
greatest number of beams. And thefunniest ones are of what happened in the
kind of control and the kind ofoversight and the job that the Secret Service
didn't do. Yeah, it's alot is coming out. And another thing
(17:12):
that just came out that I sawtoday was video of the shooter like walking
around looking up at the rooftops anhour before. Yeah, and he had
a range finder. Well that waswhat had come out before, is that
he know, what do you dowith a guy at a press at a
(17:33):
presidential rally with a range finder evenif he doesn't have right, even if
he doesn't have a weapon. TheSecret Service goes over and goes, excuse
us, we'd like to see thatrange record. Well, no, we're
taking it, take us to court. I mean, just crazy making and
certainly on the radar. So we'regoing to find this out. The head
(17:56):
of the Secret Services, this isgoing to cost you her job, no
question about it. And you're gonnasee a lot of heads rolled, a
lot of ears come off. Youwatch too soon. No it's not Oh
no, it is not all right. In a whole other lifetime, I
used to work in the tattoo industry. This is a scary thought. Sealed
(18:19):
bottles of tattoo and permanent makeup ink, which is basically tattoo ink, including
some marked as sterile, contained millionsof potentially dangerous bacteria according to new research
by the US Food and Drug Administration. So you're looking at the possibility of
sepsis and all kinds of tissue damage, organ failure, crazy crazy stuff if
(18:41):
you are to have a reaction oranything like that to this ink. You
were a tattooer, I listen,I tatooed it is. I had a
homemade machine originally that I built inprison style, and then I bought a
(19:03):
real machine. But at that pointI started moving out of that. A
buddy of mine became who's now worldrenowned and very talented tattoo artists. He
kind of took over and got great, but I still worked helping to develop
a machine and doing marketing in thelife. So you're both a tattooist and
a tattee. Tattee. It's likea less sore and a less C two
(19:30):
ween. That's like a trustore trustee. People all over the country going to
tattoo conventions and the like. Andactually I have some that I'm drawing up
new tattoos for me soon and thatmakes me pause. Aby, Yeah,
(19:51):
so I was skipping ahead. Sorry, let me get back on track.
A lot of people are looking forthe Union label that's what I was going
to say. Federal officials say they'reseeing an upsurge in union organizing among US
workers in the private sector. Unionelection petitions have hit their highest level since
twenty fifteen. More than twenty sixhundred petitions have been filed so far this
(20:12):
year, which already surpasses the totalfrom the year before. I'm going to
talk more about that at seven pointfifty, because that's a thing. I
mean, it is a big thing, especially in light of both parties going
after the unions, going after theworkers. And it's fascinating this spin of
(20:33):
it. That's seven to fifty,all right. At least three people across
the United States are facing charges relatedto the deaths of young children. Of
course, these children were left inhot cars because these people are stupid.
Just scorching heat in the US.So you had a two month old in
(20:55):
New Jersey, at two year oldin Arizona, and a five year old
in the Bradsca dying after being leftin vehicles in the heat. And usually
these people, these are not badpeople. These are not people that abuse
their kids. Usually for the mostpart, they are just parents like you
are, like I am, andjust a moment of negligence, you quickly
(21:17):
just run in the store, andyou're there too long a time. You're
stuck at the check the checkout stand, and you just sort of don't understand
one hundred and ten degrees out ofone hundred and five degrees with the windows
closed. You know, ten minutesyou're done, a child dies. Well,
you know, the thing to meis you wouldn't do it, or
(21:40):
the pile of money. You wouldn'tleave a pile of money in the car.
But yeah, yeah, no.But my point is is someone could
take the child too. It's notjust that's the other thing. So what
So here's the alternative is going togo there too. So what do you
do in order to keep the childsafe? You keep the motor running,
no can out with you. Well, of course you do. But I'm
talking about these are moments of negligencewhere they have a lapse, and I
(22:04):
mean it's lately, by the way, I'm not defending them at all.
I'm just saying these are normally notabusive parents where this happens to that's all.
So let's make a deal. TheSupreme Court recently made a ruling that
narrowed how the Justice Department can goafter obstruction charges against the January sixth rioters.
(22:26):
So now federal prosecutors are starting tooffer new plea deals that they've kind
of reworked, or they're dropping aspecific charge if it's restricted by the Supreme
Court ruling. But they also saythey're making it clear they plan to continue
holding the rioters accountable within the constraints. Now, this is what happens is
(22:47):
this particular obstruction charge is usually usuallydeals with documents and the and there was
a general charge of here just tryingattempting to interfere or with the confirmation with
accounting of the votes by Mike Pence, that in and of itself is interfering
(23:07):
with the progress of Congress normal businessof Congress. And the court said that
under that charge, which was intendedto deal with documents, not what happened
here, that provision or that chargecannot be cannot be forced. So they're
still they're still liable and should befor what they did, just not under
(23:30):
that charge all rightly. Rudy Giulianiseems to be living like a rockstar right
now, draining roughly half of themoney in his personal bank account in the
last week to pay for personal expenses. He's attending the Republican National Convention,
and he is being hounded, ofcourse by people whom he owes millions of
(23:52):
dollars. But he's using what hehas now to live his best life there
at the and see, and hetook that spill. You saw that yell
at the convention. He fell atthe convention. He took a spill in
the seats and he was lifted up. Yeah, and all the hair coillar
(24:15):
come out. That's what I'm thinking. He slipped on the die that was
on the floor. It was hotthan that, It's very hot. That
was the weirdest thing ever. Well, he's not going to have much left
because now you've got particularly those twopoll workers who have a judgment against them
for one hundred million dollars something crazy? Are you drunk? Uh? You
(24:37):
know, I don't know, Idon't know. He certainly won't be able
to afford any drinks after this,because they're going to go in and going
to grab his last remaining assets.And those are his homes. I mean
they're expensive homes. Once in NewYork worth six million dollars. He has
a nice size apartment and the otherone is in West Palm Beach, which
is worth in the millions too.Come out here and live off California,
(25:02):
and he could be a homeless personliving in California and spend the rest of
his money sort of redoing the dumpster, bringing in a oh there's a field
for you, a dumpster interior designer. This is a pretty sad ending.
The founder of Fandango, J.Michael Klein, is dead. He jumped
(25:22):
from the twentieth floor of the KimberlyHotel in Manhattan yesterday, landed in a
third floor of third floor courtyard.How ironic because this is the second flyer
he started Fandango And now look whathappened. Let's move on, shall we?
(25:52):
In a world where people can't fly, all right? Top Chef contestant
Naomi Palmeroy. She's the author ofthe award winning Chef. She's an author,
award winning chef, and she wasin Top Chef Masters. She died
in this tragic accident in Oregon river. Yeah. Fluke acid. She was
(26:17):
only forty nine. Yeah, anda real fluke. She got caught up
under a paddle and some life veststhat they put together and dragged under the
water. Just really weird. I'vefloated the river that way before. Were
you tying? You're go tubing andyou tie yourselves together. Yeah, I
mean it's not unusual. It's justthe total fluke that she got caught up
(26:37):
and was pulled under the water,and then I ended up drowning. And
I'm trying to figure out some connectionwith food that is completely horribly depraved.
I can't think of something first timethat I can't actually make a connection to
something that will offend everybody. Well, we got another story you could try
(26:57):
with this one. Okay, somedogs may get another shot at a happy
home, because this one certainly wasn'tit. Forty dogs were found inside a
hoarder's house in Thermal. About twentyof the dogs were already dead. Oh
yeah, you don't make fun ofthat's that's horrific because you have these innocent,
innocent creatures. Oh well, thegood news is it twenty of them
(27:21):
have been rescued and they're being caredfor at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus,
and a lot of them were lockedup, and oh god, it's horrible.
Can you can you imagine just howinsanely filthy and disgusting the smells and
everything else these poor dogs were livingin all right, forget your red baseball
(27:45):
caps, your little mega caps.There's something. There's a new fashion trend
in town. Republicans wearing homemade earbandages on their right ear in solidarity with
Trump. Are you going to goout and get yours? Willie? Well,
you know some of them are eerilyrealistic. Okay, I didn't work
(28:07):
either. Oh I get it.Oh now, okay, yeah, there
you are. Hey, it's Thursday. It's not even Friday. It's Thursday
morning, and it's I guess,you know, a solidarity thing. It
works, It works in terms ofthe visual and you know, you have
the Maga hats, but this oneis a direct connection to the president.
(28:32):
Rolls around. They'll be selling chocolaterabbits with only one ear. That's just
a weird thing to I saw somethat were made out of like white tape
that they put on it. Someused bandages. They could take a Bill's
suggestion and just slap a Maxi paton their head. Wow, Well it
(28:56):
wasn't me, it was Bill.Yeah. Sometimes I just don't he a
fresh Hello. Yeah, I gotcha, Yeah, I know, I got

Yes, I'm okay, I'm okay, And there is Ann good morning,
Good morning, Bill, good morning, and then Nakono good morning.
Hi. Hi. Tonight's the night, by the way, guys, when
we are here seeing Donald Trump acceptthe nomination. Everybody anxiously awaiting. Now
(01:29):
here's a question. Is he goingto be brought in in one of those
sedan chairs you know that carried byYou've got four guys on each side with
a pole like an attention queen.Yeah, yeah, sort of like you
know with really buff, gay bodybuildertypes that are in loincloths. He should
be brought in on a stretch becausehe's really hurt. Yeah, that's true.
(01:49):
With his his ear, wouldn't itbe? Do you remember young Frankenstein
with Igor having the switched on eitherside or Igor hump on either side.
Trump should do that with one earone night, one ear the other night.
It was it you that told meabout the meme with Trump as van
(02:14):
Go with his ear missing that bandageon ear, very very strong. You
know, a lot is lost.One that a you know, former president
had an attempted assassination and then aman died who was witnessing this, and
a lot of that gets lost.But I will tell you I have been
(02:36):
very impressed by the amount of memesand the like that came out immediately.
Wait till Joe Biden bails out becauseof effectively old age incapacitation, inability to
have cognitive abilities ear going to seethose memes explode death. Well, it
(03:01):
is interesting to see you. It'swhat we did where president get shot at
and then show up to his thingsand then the other one effectively get a
pretty bad cold. Ye, siteverything out. Well that's a little bit
different. I think the biggest storyof a former president this was exactly a
former president, Teddy Roosevelt, whenhe was running for office in nineteen twelve
(03:25):
at a campaign event, got shotin the chest, bullet entered his body.
He finished the speech. I thoughthe got shot in the ass.
No, he did not get shotin the ass. You get shot in
the ass. We get shot inthe ass every day on this show.
No, he got shot that whatthat is? Yeah he was and he
(03:47):
just finished the speech. Well,I told you, I'm reading a biography
of ted Teddy Roosevelt. It's insanity. I mean that what he just say,
it's mind boggling. The kind ofman he was. Mind boggling.
And let's do a podcast. Let'sdo a podcast on being shot and talking.
Let's do can we do a podcast? I like it? You know
what? And you know Ann producesmy podcast also and she, uh,
(04:12):
we were searching for stuff all thetime. And that's I think that's a
pretty good idea. Okay, andthat's one politicians other people being shot at
or shot then then still continued onand you know, great stories of people
having their heads removed and still continuingon with whatever they were doing. Okay,
(04:32):
you've had your head in places foryears. Okay, thank you so
much. Okay, we started already, we have already started. Oh yesterday.
How long have we had Jim keatingon this show? Neil and I
would say twenty years. I wouldsay legitimately twenty years yesterday. And I
haven't seen this happen. He laughedthrough an entire segment. It was unusually
(05:00):
crude. Oh yeah, that's agiven, I know. But still still
it was very good. That wasby the way, you could listen to
that on demand, can't you.The Jim Kiney segment. Yeah, I
think we did that as sind Yeah, that's fun. And the podcast,
by the way we're talking about isthis morning at nine o'clock, the next
episode drops and this has to dowith it's the episode number two as to
(05:28):
what happened this past week with theRNC and of course, the assassination attempt
upon former President Trump. All right, guys, you're ready to do it.
We've got some news to share withyou today. It's time for a
handle on the news. Amy King, Nil Sevadra and me lead story.
Oh okay, one more democrat andwe're not talking about just a Democrat.
(05:55):
Democrat talking about Adam Schiff, oneof the premier Democrats in Congress, has
told President Biden it is time topass the torch as it will. And
President Biden had to cancel an eventin Las Vegas because he got COVID and
(06:15):
he went back on Air Force Oneand as he walked up the steps,
my god, this is one beyondjust a man who has a cold.
I mean, he barely made itup the steps. That's an ad for
former President Trump, for the Republicanget one of those chairs that go up
(06:36):
the stairs like they do in homes. Yeah. They could do that.
Yeah, they could do that.Yeah, and he could just wave the
whole way up. Now. Didyou know that the first Air Force one,
it wasn't called Air Force one atthe time, was a modified bomber
during World War Two that Franklin Rooseveltused, and it had an elevator built
(06:58):
in to the fusel, one ofthose small, almost like a residential style
elevators that he rolls wheelchair and wego up. And the press never showed
that. Well, a little factoidof history. I just wanted to share
that with you. Okay. Thepodcast, Yeah, that's that's another one.
Oh Air Force one. That's agreat podcast too. God. You
(07:20):
know, people come up with theseideas, and I love ideas. There
is an elevator on Air Force one, now, isn't there. I don't
think so. I don't think there'san elevator. Well yeah, if you
believe transformers, there is. Thankyou, thank you, And this is
where you get your news, correct, Ay, this is why you are
(07:42):
an award winning newsperson. They calledthe toilet on Air Force one. Air
Force two. Oh, very strong. Anyway, it's gonna be tough.
Adam Schiff has said that, thePresident has said, it's been it's being
reported on c end. Adam Schiffhas gone from Kamala can't win to do
(08:09):
you think Kamala can win? Inthe sense that they're sort of already saying
Kamala. That's the other thing thatpisses me off is by the very virtue
of her being the vice presidential candidateor the vice president. She is the
one that is going to be nominatedif Biden bails out. Anything to do
(08:31):
with qualifications, absolutely not. Anythingto do with her likability, absolutely not.
It's the air apparent crapola that modernpolitics has just tries to be nuts.
Okay, let's just move on.We've got plenty more to talk about
on this one. Yeah. Continuingon the Biden thread, high level heart
to heart, former House Speaker Pelosiprivately told President Biden on the phone that
(08:56):
polling showed, well maybe it wasn'tnot sure if it was on the phone,
the polling shows he can't beat Trumpand that Biden could destroy Democrats' chances
of winning the House in November ifhe continues to seek a second term.
And apparently, apparently the President pushedback and said, Nope, you're looking
at the wrong polls. I canwin. Yeah. Here's They've known each
(09:18):
other for decades, and here's theissue. Nancy Pelosi is not some obscure
congress person. This is Nancy Pelosi. And this reminds me of what happened
during Watergate with Richard Nixon and resignationin his resignation. Nope, nope,
nope, nope. And it finallytook Barry Goldwater, who had run for
(09:39):
president nineteen sixty four, was theicon of the Conservative Party Republican and he
went to had a private meeting withthree other senators, two congressmen, I
think two senators had a private meetingwith Richard. Nixon said it's over.
You're done. If you don't resign, there will be impeachment hearings and you
will be removed by a trial inthe Senate. And that's when that's when
(10:03):
Nixon finally got it. And Idon't know where it's going to be for
Biden where he gets if ever,by the way, he may not.
He may just pull in his reins. He may just go you can go
pound sand and he'll go to thevery end. I mean that's possible too,
if anybody it's him. He's thatkind of a guy. But I'm
going to see how many people ofthat ilk Adam Schiff way up there in
(10:26):
terms of the political hierarchy in theDemocratic Party, Nancy Pelosi way up there.
We'll see what he says. KamalaHarris says, absolutely not. While
she's drooling when she meets him.Yeah, because she's the error a parent.
Yeah, pretty much well, saidSenator JD. Vance officially accepted as
(10:50):
vice presidential nomination yesterday. The speechwas okay. Vance during his acceptance speech,
called on Americans to send Trump backto the White House, introduced himself
a little bit, and he pledgedto every American, no matter your party,
I will give everything I have.Yeah, but that's sort of standard.
(11:11):
You know, everybody does that.You know, we all call for
unity. Van's talked about. Forexample, look what a hero Donald Trump
was. And by the way,I'm not disagreeing that he didn't handle it
right, but he called as soonas he was shot, our former president
called for unity. He's the guythat called for unity. Usually you don't
connect the words unity and Donald Trumpin one sentence. But it's I can't
(11:33):
wait for the speech tonight. Ithink it's going to be I don't think
it's I don't think it's going tobe traditional Donald Trump attacking because he doesn't
have to. I think he mayactually listen to his speech writers and advisors
because if he goes on his normalattack, I don't think he's going to
(11:56):
use the word crooked. Joe Idon't think so. I may be wrong,
but if I were his advisor,it's a lose lose. There's no
way to win on this. WhatI tend to agree with you on this
one. Yeah. Now, hemay not listen. He has a way
of not listening to people around him. I mean, he's a pretty independent
guy when it comes to advisors.Fresh out of prison, Peter Navarro hit
(12:24):
the stage. The former Trump tradeadvisor spent four months in prison for refusing
to cooperate with a congressional investigation.He left a prison in Miami yesterday morning
and took a flight to Milwaukee andtook the stage last night. Yep.
(12:45):
And of course was a hero becausehe went to prison. Now, he
was nailed for a contempt of Congressbecause he wouldn't turn over documents, wouldn't
testify, and he argued executive privilege, which doesn't exist in his case.
He was an employee of the WhiteHouse at the time. So he lost.
And now it's all turned around.I mean everything is turned around.
(13:05):
You know, we're going back toand I'm going to continue this line.
Loyalty is loyalty to Donald Trump,is loyalty to the Constitution. Anti Donald
Trump, you are a trader tothe Constitution. And that's the part that
really troubles me. Policy wise.You know, I get it, he's
(13:26):
a conservative in many ways. Actuallyit's not, but you know, I
understand that, but just how it'sall just spun around, that just drives
me completely. Well, on theflip side, if you're black and don't
vote for Joe Biden, you ain'tblack. That's true. So that's true.
No, that's absolutely true. Iguess it's a I mean all of
(13:46):
it. Yeah, not to theextent, and by the way, I
have no problem with that. It'sjust that, you know, it's like
comparing CNN to Fox. Okay,both are biased, there's no question about
it. But it's George or Wellsanimal farm. All of us, all
of us animals are equal except USpigs or we pigs are more equal.
(14:07):
I think said US pigs are moreequal. So we're all biased. But
Fox News is on a different levelof bias. That's all. That's what
I'm saying, not the news part, by the way, just to let
you know, not the news part. I think they're not too bad,
but certainly on the talk shows.You know, Laura, I saw a
(14:28):
t shirt the other day that saidmake George Orwell fiction again. Funny,
that is very funny. Yes,all right, special cancel. We talked
a little bit about this yesterday.It is it was expected. Special Counsel
Jack Smith has formerly filled and filedrather an appeal against US District Judge A
(14:50):
Lean Cannons ruling from Monday that dismissedfor President tomil J. Trump's indictment in
his classified documents case I'll be reinstated. I talked about that yesterday. Her
decision was so out there, Imean so crazy that even Trump's supporters,
his attorneys thought it was a ridiculouslong shot Hail Mary. And she bought
(15:11):
it, she said yes. Andwhat's the reason that she dismissed the case?
Because the special counsel in this case, Jack Smith, is independent.
He's an independent counsel. Therefore,since he has no supervision, he is
a senior executive of the cabinet andhas to be confirmed by the Senate,
(15:37):
and he wasn't. And the fundingof his office right to pay the phone
bills in his office. Congress hasto okay that because of the funding clause,
and Congress did not okay the paymentof that phone bill or the installation
of that copier. Therefore, theentire appointment of Jack Smith is unconstitutional.
(16:00):
I mean, I tell you you'vegot people constitutional scholars that are scratching their
heads and go, huh so,I guarantee you this will go the other
way on appeal. Looks like theshooter was spotted way before the assassination attempt.
Officials say snipers spotted the guy whoshot at President Trump or former President
(16:27):
Trump on the roof of a buildingoutside the security zone at the rally on
Saturday in Pennsylvania at five point fiftytwo pm. The shooting happened at six
twelve, twenty minutes later. Youknow, there's a lot of conversation.
There's going to be a lot ofscrutiny of the Secret Service. Boy,
the Secret Service screwed the pooch onthis one. I mean, this is
(16:48):
not good news for the Secret Service. Have you seen the memes about the
Secret Service out there? Yeah?Those are insane. I think that's the
greatest number of beams. And thefunniest ones are of what happened in the
kind of control and the kind ofoversight and the job that the Secret Service
didn't do. Yeah, it's alot is coming out. And another thing
(17:12):
that just came out that I sawtoday was video of the shooter like walking
around looking up at the rooftops anhour before. Yeah, and he had
a range finder. Well that waswhat had come out before, is that
he know, what do you dowith a guy at a press at a
(17:33):
presidential rally with a range finder evenif he doesn't have right, even if
he doesn't have a weapon. TheSecret Service goes over and goes, excuse
us, we'd like to see thatrange record. Well, no, we're
taking it, take us to court. I mean, just crazy making and
certainly on the radar. So we'regoing to find this out. The head
(17:56):
of the Secret Services, this isgoing to cost you her job, no
question about it. And you're gonnasee a lot of heads rolled, a
lot of ears come off. Youwatch too soon. No it's not Oh
no, it is not all right. In a whole other lifetime, I
used to work in the tattoo industry. This is a scary thought. Sealed
(18:19):
bottles of tattoo and permanent makeup ink, which is basically tattoo ink, including
some marked as sterile, contained millionsof potentially dangerous bacteria according to new research
by the US Food and Drug Administration. So you're looking at the possibility of
sepsis and all kinds of tissue damage, organ failure, crazy crazy stuff if
(18:41):
you are to have a reaction oranything like that to this ink. You
were a tattooer, I listen,I tatooed it is. I had a
homemade machine originally that I built inprison style, and then I bought a
(19:03):
real machine. But at that pointI started moving out of that. A
buddy of mine became who's now worldrenowned and very talented tattoo artists. He
kind of took over and got great, but I still worked helping to develop
a machine and doing marketing in thelife. So you're both a tattooist and
a tattee. Tattee. It's likea less sore and a less C two
(19:30):
ween. That's like a trustore trustee. People all over the country going to
tattoo conventions and the like. Andactually I have some that I'm drawing up
new tattoos for me soon and thatmakes me pause. Aby, Yeah,
(19:51):
so I was skipping ahead. Sorry, let me get back on track.
A lot of people are looking forthe Union label that's what I was going
to say. Federal officials say they'reseeing an upsurge in union organizing among US
workers in the private sector. Unionelection petitions have hit their highest level since
twenty fifteen. More than twenty sixhundred petitions have been filed so far this
(20:12):
year, which already surpasses the totalfrom the year before. I'm going to
talk more about that at seven pointfifty, because that's a thing. I
mean, it is a big thing, especially in light of both parties going
after the unions, going after theworkers. And it's fascinating this spin of
(20:33):
it. That's seven to fifty,all right. At least three people across
the United States are facing charges relatedto the deaths of young children. Of
course, these children were left inhot cars because these people are stupid.
Just scorching heat in the US.So you had a two month old in
(20:55):
New Jersey, at two year oldin Arizona, and a five year old
in the Bradsca dying after being leftin vehicles in the heat. And usually
these people, these are not badpeople. These are not people that abuse
their kids. Usually for the mostpart, they are just parents like you
are, like I am, andjust a moment of negligence, you quickly
(21:17):
just run in the store, andyou're there too long a time. You're
stuck at the check the checkout stand, and you just sort of don't understand
one hundred and ten degrees out ofone hundred and five degrees with the windows
closed. You know, ten minutesyou're done, a child dies. Well,
you know, the thing to meis you wouldn't do it, or
(21:40):
the pile of money. You wouldn'tleave a pile of money in the car.
But yeah, yeah, no.But my point is is someone could
take the child too. It's notjust that's the other thing. So what
So here's the alternative is going togo there too. So what do you
do in order to keep the childsafe? You keep the motor running,
no can out with you. Well, of course you do. But I'm
talking about these are moments of negligencewhere they have a lapse, and I
(22:04):
mean it's lately, by the way, I'm not defending them at all.
I'm just saying these are normally notabusive parents where this happens to that's all.
So let's make a deal. TheSupreme Court recently made a ruling that
narrowed how the Justice Department can goafter obstruction charges against the January sixth rioters.
(22:26):
So now federal prosecutors are starting tooffer new plea deals that they've kind
of reworked, or they're dropping aspecific charge if it's restricted by the Supreme
Court ruling. But they also saythey're making it clear they plan to continue
holding the rioters accountable within the constraints. Now, this is what happens is
(22:47):
this particular obstruction charge is usually usuallydeals with documents and the and there was
a general charge of here just tryingattempting to interfere or with the confirmation with
accounting of the votes by Mike Pence, that in and of itself is interfering
(23:07):
with the progress of Congress normal businessof Congress. And the court said that
under that charge, which was intendedto deal with documents, not what happened
here, that provision or that chargecannot be cannot be forced. So they're
still they're still liable and should befor what they did, just not under
(23:30):
that charge all rightly. Rudy Giulianiseems to be living like a rockstar right
now, draining roughly half of themoney in his personal bank account in the
last week to pay for personal expenses. He's attending the Republican National Convention,
and he is being hounded, ofcourse by people whom he owes millions of
(23:52):
dollars. But he's using what hehas now to live his best life there
at the and see, and hetook that spill. You saw that yell
at the convention. He fell atthe convention. He took a spill in
the seats and he was lifted up. Yeah, and all the hair coillar
(24:15):
come out. That's what I'm thinking. He slipped on the die that was
on the floor. It was hotthan that, It's very hot. That
was the weirdest thing ever. Well, he's not going to have much left
because now you've got particularly those twopoll workers who have a judgment against them
for one hundred million dollars something crazy? Are you drunk? Uh? You
(24:37):
know, I don't know, Idon't know. He certainly won't be able
to afford any drinks after this,because they're going to go in and going
to grab his last remaining assets.And those are his homes. I mean
they're expensive homes. Once in NewYork worth six million dollars. He has
a nice size apartment and the otherone is in West Palm Beach, which
is worth in the millions too.Come out here and live off California,
(25:02):
and he could be a homeless personliving in California and spend the rest of
his money sort of redoing the dumpster, bringing in a oh there's a field
for you, a dumpster interior designer. This is a pretty sad ending.
The founder of Fandango, J.Michael Klein, is dead. He jumped
(25:22):
from the twentieth floor of the KimberlyHotel in Manhattan yesterday, landed in a
third floor of third floor courtyard.How ironic because this is the second flyer
he started Fandango And now look whathappened. Let's move on, shall we?
(25:52):
In a world where people can't fly, all right? Top Chef contestant
Naomi Palmeroy. She's the author ofthe award winning Chef. She's an author,
award winning chef, and she wasin Top Chef Masters. She died
in this tragic accident in Oregon river. Yeah. Fluke acid. She was
(26:17):
only forty nine. Yeah, anda real fluke. She got caught up
under a paddle and some life veststhat they put together and dragged under the
water. Just really weird. I'vefloated the river that way before. Were
you tying? You're go tubing andyou tie yourselves together. Yeah, I
mean it's not unusual. It's justthe total fluke that she got caught up
(26:37):
and was pulled under the water,and then I ended up drowning. And
I'm trying to figure out some connectionwith food that is completely horribly depraved.
I can't think of something first timethat I can't actually make a connection to
something that will offend everybody. Well, we got another story you could try
(26:57):
with this one. Okay, somedogs may get another shot at a happy
home, because this one certainly wasn'tit. Forty dogs were found inside a
hoarder's house in Thermal. About twentyof the dogs were already dead. Oh
yeah, you don't make fun ofthat's that's horrific because you have these innocent,
innocent creatures. Oh well, thegood news is it twenty of them
(27:21):
have been rescued and they're being caredfor at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus,
and a lot of them were lockedup, and oh god, it's horrible.
Can you can you imagine just howinsanely filthy and disgusting the smells and
everything else these poor dogs were livingin all right, forget your red baseball
(27:45):
caps, your little mega caps.There's something. There's a new fashion trend
in town. Republicans wearing homemade earbandages on their right ear in solidarity with
Trump. Are you going to goout and get yours? Willie? Well,
you know some of them are eerilyrealistic. Okay, I didn't work
(28:07):
either. Oh I get it.Oh now, okay, yeah, there
you are. Hey, it's Thursday. It's not even Friday. It's Thursday
morning, and it's I guess,you know, a solidarity thing. It
works, It works in terms ofthe visual and you know, you have
the Maga hats, but this oneis a direct connection to the president.
(28:32):
Rolls around. They'll be selling chocolaterabbits with only one ear. That's just
a weird thing to I saw somethat were made out of like white tape
that they put on it. Someused bandages. They could take a Bill's
suggestion and just slap a Maxi paton their head. Wow, Well it
(28:56):
wasn't me, it was Bill.Yeah. Sometimes I just don't he a
fresh Hello. Yeah, I gotcha, Yeah, I know, I got
it. All right, we areWow, we've gone through all the stories.
