You're listening to Bill Handle on demandfrom KFI AM six forty And this is
KFI Bill Handle and the Morning Crewon a very hot Friday, July nineteenth,
And this just begins our heat waveand it's going to be a scorcher
out there today and so that's goingto be fun to look at. And
(00:22):
that ends on next Wednesday. Ithink we're up there for five days or
so. Also, I want toremind you that my podcast, the Bill
Handles Show podcast is up and runningus on the iHeartRadio app right now.
I think we're on one other platform, but obviously expanding it to all the
platforms. And this week is itdrops Tuesdays and Thursdays right after the show
(00:44):
at nine o'clock. And this weekhas been about the assassination and the politics
and what's happening at the convention,what has happened at the convention. Starting
next week, it's Boeing the historyof one of the most fabled companies in
America and how it's gone to thetoilet. And the first two that were
available last week is a little backgroundof who I am, how I got
(01:07):
here, my parents, their journey, my grandparents, the concentration camps and
just on my dad's side. Twomovie companies have optioned his story did option
his story. So it's a hellof a story. That's the iHeartRadio app
the Bill Handle Show podcast. Nowit is time for Foody Friday. Excuse
(01:27):
me with Neil Savedra, who hasheard every Saturday two to five pm with
the Fork Report. All right,Neil, i'd say, good morning,
but you've been with me all morninglong, so hey, it's true.
Okay, because Neil, of course, as you know is Monday through Friday,
has become part of the show sinceJanuary first and has become a very
(01:49):
very important, yet at the sametime mediocre part of our morning show.
Your words mean a lot and simultaneouslymean nothing to me. Thank you.
There you go. Now a coupleof things, just a quick Yesterday it
was a a costco of course,naturally, I know there twice a week
at least, and I do allof the taste testing and all the little
(02:14):
tests. They had a cereal likealmost a fruit loops kind of cereal,
different colors and little bits and witha little bit of milk in there,
and it was mush. And that'swhat I hate about cold cereals. However,
I just thought that'd be a nicesegue to introduce you, to introduce
the topic of a new cereal mix. Well done, sir, that's why
(02:39):
you are the pro. Yes,yeah, you really milk ratio to cereal
to cold cereal and also how longit sits, because if you're going to
have the roof of your mouth ripperof your Captain Crunch, you wanted to
sit a little bit to soften thehard edges of the eighty grit sandpaper that
(03:00):
is Captain Crunch. But other cerealsyou don't want them to get soggy.
The interesting part about this new cerealis Travis and Jason Kelcey just released their
own cereal. But it's not new. It's basically three flavors combined. And
apparently they were talking on a podcastabout how they like to mix certain cereals
(03:24):
together when they eat them. Ilove this too. I do this all
the time, and this is cool. So they've got their top cereals and
they mix them together. So oneis a mix of like Reeseus Puffs,
which I really enjoy if you haven'thad them, Cinnamon toast Crunch, which
I really enjoy, and Lucky Charmsand it's a mix together, and so
(03:47):
it's not like it's a brand newcereal. It's these three cereals mixed together
with these guys, these brothers faceson the box. And I just thought
that was hilarious because done that.No, I haven't actually haven't thought.
Yeah, I never mixed multiple cereals. He seems like a cereal mixer.
Absolutely, I meant a serial killer. But as well, you know,
(04:12):
it's I never have thought of it. I'm sort of very limited my cereal
scope. But I will tell youthat I hate soggy cereal. I will
put in milk, and that firstbite or the first two or three bites
that crunch, hard, crunch witha little bit of milk, the flavor
(04:32):
in it fantastic. By the endof the bowl or halfway through the bowl,
it is oatmeal, and I cannotstand that. So I look for
cereals that keep their crunch, andthat's usually some kind of Yeah. I
don't like those particular, but it'slike some kind of a amusely mix granola
(04:53):
that you have to have. That'sthe only thing that works. I mean,
I love corn flakes. I lovecornflakes, but love rice crispies.
But they get they're not crispies anymore, you know. Thirty seconds later,
Well then you use less milk.Yeah, but that's still you still get
part of it, the part that'sin the milk. That's the other thing.
(05:14):
We put in. Way too muchmilk. I mean, I'm talking
about society speaking. This is somethingthat I want to I want to form
some kind of a nonprofit to stoppeople from using too much milk. I
think that is one of the realproblems in society. Forget about crime,
forget about illegal immigration. Let's talkabout too much milk and cereal. Wow.
(05:35):
You you know what I like aboutyour show is you're not afraid to
really delve into the depths of what'sconcerning Americans most importantly. So this is
going to come out near September,just before the NFL season, so we
shall see these popping now, Okay, all right, but I love that
(05:56):
combination. Fair enough, and it'sthe core the Kelsey brothers. So it
doesn't you know, one of them'sdating that Taylor Swift. Have you heard
that? I know? Yeah,big big doings, Oh okay doing yeah,
fair enough, where you have asuper Bowl and you have what one
(06:16):
hundred and twenty million people, andall they want to do was see Toyo
Taylor Swift that becomes Tom the Milk. She's pretty private about who she dates,
so we don't know a lot aboutthe guys that she's dated in the
past, so this is kind ofa big deal, all right, question,
Neil and I sort of really dounderstand that you can't ripen a watermelon.
(06:40):
However, well, I know withmangos. You know, when I
buy those mango pre cut mango slicesin the store and they're putting those little
plastic containers, I open them uphard as rocks because they don't give even
reasonably ripe water mango slices. AndI'll keep them there for two weeks and
they're still rocks in the refrigerator.They just don't ripen. And the same
(07:02):
thing goes with watermelon because they getmushy and soft. So some fruit and
it will continue to ripe in Likean avocado, you can continue to ripe
in it. A tomato you caneven continue to ripen. Banana you can
continue to ripen. But a watermelon, a store butt watermelon, you're not
going to continue to ripen the minuteit's pulled off. The vine. It's
(07:26):
done. The problem is trying tofigure out the best watermelon. It can
be confusing. There are some peoplethat believe that if you thump it and
it resonates with a B flat andI don't know how you know it's a
b flat, you must be theechoe sound you thumping. Else it's a
little echoee And do you know whata bee flat? No, here's the
(07:48):
thing. When you're picking a watermelon, you want it to have minimal,
if not zero scars, no scarringon it. There's some people that say,
oh, the little dots on itare from the water stinging it because
it's sweet. No. No,no, you want is minimal or zero
scarring on the outside. You wantthere is the ground spot. The ground
(08:11):
spot should be kind of a yellowish, kind of a mid muted yellow,
not white, and not super superbright yellow or green. That'll tell you
that it was sitting out there properlyand was on the vine long enough to
ripen. And it should feel heavierthan it looks, so for whatever its
(08:35):
size is, it should feel heavierthan that. That's kind of how you
do it. But sometimes you getone that isn't ripe, so isn't ripe
enough and it's not going to getright, so figuring out what to do
with it. Sometimes with the rine, you can go ahead and slice it
up and you can pickle it andmakes it delicious. You can use the
watermelon in a breakfast shake or something. If you want to do juice or
(09:00):
something like that. Adding salt toit will actually make it sweeter funny enough.
You can grill it to do thingswith it, but it may not
be the best in the standard sliceit and eat it context, but you've
already purchased it, So learning tomake something else with it. Juice,
it add some sugar, different thingslike that. Once it's cut up,
(09:22):
if you don't eat it, withinprobably a day, it starts mushing up,
doesn't it. Well, it's goingto yeah, break down because it's
you know, it's been cut openand it's going to start to oxidize and
react to everything. But you youknow, seal it up. I would
say one of the best things todo with it is to make it smoothie
(09:43):
personally, or to grill it upwith some salt and on the grill.
Whole foods surprise bags. Now Idon't I don't shop at whole foods,
because that's way beyond what else beenfor that stuff. They call it.
Page is this. Yeah, thewhole surprise bag is as like party favors,
you walk out with a little bagof stuff. The reason why I
(10:05):
put this in this story in hereis because I really love this app.
There's this app called Too Good toGo, and you can get connected with
it and find out what restaurants have, like pizza places that are gonna be
closing for the evening saying hey,we've got a bunch of slices left over,
you can get them at a discountedprice. Things like that. Well,
(10:28):
similarly, you've got Whole Foods thathas an entire section of pre made
food. Right. You can gothere and you can get soups, you
can get salads, you can getfood that they prepared for the day,
and they don't want it to goto waste. So what they do is
they make these amazing deals. They'rethese surprise bags and they're like nine to
ninety nine, but it's thirty bucksworth of prepared foods, ready to eat
(10:52):
meals, soups, whatever they're doing. The bakery bags can be filled with
fresh bread, muffins, scones,surprise. Are those surprises or you know
it's been But here's the thing.For for instance, if you get a
bakery bag, it's like six ninetynine and it contains twenty one bucks worth
(11:13):
of devilicious baked goods, but youdon't know if it's it might just be
all muffins or it might be freshbread, and so you don't know,
you don't know, and you pickit up and what do you do?
Sea Ah, Well, it's notit's not like you never know. It's
not like you're eating something and findout what it's in your mouth. No,
no, I understand. But you'regoing to get let's say, a
(11:35):
bakery bag is a sea as youcan't choose. You're not okay in there
to go? I want X,Y and zy. This is what we
have. Okay, that's happened.I think it's a smart way to save
food waste and to save money.Yep, all right, that's fair.
Neil With the FOURK Report, that'sSaturday from two to five pm. Or
(11:56):
yes it is PM. Yes,yes, I figure that one out.
I am when people. Yes,we know it's two to five pm and
the show is the Fork Report.You can also reach him on social at
Fork Reporter. Oh, if you'llsee what I looked like with hair.
By the way, for Flashback Friday, I put a picture from nineteen eighty
seven, probably a couple pictures upof what I looked like with hair,
(12:18):
so that you can enjoy that.Yeah, yeah, it's hard to believe
that you were actually uglier, butyou know that's it. We should do
well, I can. Let's doa poll up, an ugly an ugly
poll, which, Neil, doyou think is the most hideous looking?
We are going to come back,Neil, thank you. We'll see you
(12:39):
tomorrow from two to five pm.Indeed the Fork Report. Indeed, all
right, now we're going to moveinto this week's World in review, Living
under a rock. Well, here'swhat you've missed, piping hotch the newswires
from around the corner to around thatworld is this week's world in review.
(13:05):
And so much has happened this week. I don't think I don't remember when
this much happened in one week.And as I'm basically gonna have to do
headlines and to remind you what we'vetalked about this week and what happened,
and so there's an awful lot andit's see a couple of the stories.
(13:26):
You're gonna say that happened weeks andweeks ago. No, no, it
happened this week, all right.It starts with, well, it doesn't
start with Donald Trump accepting the nominationlast night. It starts with Saturday night
with the would be assassin who shotat and hit Donald Trump. But his
(13:46):
ear just grazed his ear. Andthat's why at the convention you could see
him wearing a Maxi pad over hisear through the convention and he probably will
be wearing right through the election,is my guess. Because no, he
was legitimately shot, and he handledit brilliantly. He did, and in
(14:07):
such a way that you knew itwas Donald Trump because as he was being
escorted, if you will, that'sin quotes, being dragged off the stage
into the waiting car, he pumpshis fists in the air and goes fight,
fight, fight, and handled itbrilliantly. So we go to the
(14:28):
convention on Monday, he tells ushe selects his VP, or tells us
who the VP selection is. JdVance, senator from Ohio a year and
a half into his Senate seat,and he becomes now one of the major
players of the Republican Party, sojd Vance and then last night, then
the acceptance speech of the nomination.He rattled on for ninety three minutes and
(14:52):
basically it was a rally. That'sit. Same time Amazon's tenth Prime Day
kicked off two days. Amazon broughtin nearly thirteen billion dollars in two days
from customers around the globe. Andthat is pretty impressive, to say the
(15:13):
least. And at the same time, the Mirage Hotel, Steve wins Hotel
went down and imploded and there hesold it and it's opening up a new
hotel. Now, unfortunately Steve Wincouldn't see it go down. I mean
he was there, but all hecould do is hear it because he's completely
(15:35):
blind. Did you know that,Yes, Steve went is blind, and
yet he's able to build this extraordinarygroup of hotels in the guy's a billionaire.
Also, if you are mailing lettersthis week, postage sam price goes
(15:56):
up jumps for the second time thisyear, five cents, this time around
seventy three cents for first class postage, which is still when you look at
around the world how much postage is. This is still extraordinarily cheap. One
of the things about our postal serviceis it does a hell of a job
for the money that we pay forfirst class mail. It really is a
(16:18):
relative bargain. So why is itlosing business to FedEx and ups? Because
the Postal Service has to deliver mailto every single address in the United States
and the territories. You want towrite to some Inuit village in northern Alaska
(16:40):
that has exactly four igloos, theywill deliver the mail. And in certain
places mail is delivered by for example, the Grand Canyon down at the bottom
of the Grand Canyon, where youcan get mail delivered. No, how
is delivered down there by mule mule. Believe me, FedEx does a do
(17:00):
that. Now you can send mulesby FedEx. I have no idea if
that's true or not. By theway, it's just a nice little saidue.
But you can't. No, no, it's not gonna work that way.
Van Jones, who is on CNN. He's probably one of my favorite
commentators. I think the guy isbrilliant and a virulent anti trumpst said something
(17:22):
really interesting about that. He goes, I don't want to see Donald Trump
be president, but I also don'twant to see him in the hospital or
dead. And that basically wraps itup for a lot of us who are
not big fans of Donald Trump.All right, Joe Biden on his way
out. There is no question themovement to eliminate him as the Democratic nominee
(17:44):
is gaining steam. He was adamant, I am not leaving. There is
no way I'm in the campaign tostay. Here's the problem. Major players
in the Democratic Party have told himit's timed to abouy out and to do
it as graciously as possible. Andhe's not being told you have no chance,
(18:06):
it's over. He's being told it'sover, and you've done a great
job and it is just time tohang it up. The analogy, and
I forget which congress person said,you are a champion pitcher, a champion
ballplayer, there's just a time whenyour career is up and you have to
accept it. And that's the casewith Biden. We don't. So that's
(18:30):
a given that he is leading thecampaign now he's moving exorably, inexorably towards
that position. And then the politicsof politics, this is what makes us
politics so interesting. We don't knowwho is going to be the nominee right
now, the front runner is KamalaHarris. By the very nature that she
(18:53):
is the VP nominee has nothing todo with her popularity or her ability or
her credella credentials aren't bad, buther Does she have the gravitas? I
don't think so. I don't thinkso, and I think that's going to
show so. The luckiest man ofthe world, Donald Trump lucky because he
(19:17):
was able to survive that that attempt, with the assassination attempt, with just
a tiny flesh wound, and thenall of the court cases that have gone
his way, and just the RepublicanParty and the Republicans backing him. The
divisiveness of this country is extraordinary,and I'm going to put it right on
(19:38):
his right in his lap. Somedeaths that were reported, usually it's in
threes. This is in fives.Shannon Doherty Doherty. I always mispronounced her
name, doctor Ruth, Ruth Westheimer. What is she? Two foot eight
and German? And I thin Ithink she was a Holocaust survivor, if
(20:03):
I'm not mistaken. Richard Simmons andthose people that watched him also Holocaust survivors.
Bob Newhart, Lou Dobbs gone theclassified document's case. Back to Donald
Trump being the luckiest guy out therethat was tossed a hail Mary documents case
(20:25):
in Florida with him taking the classifieddocuments. Absolutely was gonna get nailed on
this. That was the strongest casethe government had against him. It was
tossed by a federal judge appointed byhim. On what a lot of legal
folks are saying, really sketchy reasoninghail Mary by his lawyers that no one
(20:45):
thought would go any place. ElonMusk says, he is out of California.
He is done and has gotten verypolitical. He has not only decided
to leave California, he has endorsedDonald Trump within moments after the shooting took
place on Saturday, and is donatingforty five if you want to call it
(21:07):
donation, contributing forty five million dollarsa month to a pack that supports former
President Trump, who is going towin the race at this point, no
question about it. We're done,guys. Wow, what a week it
has been. Okay, a couplethings before we bail out of here tomorrow.
(21:29):
It's handle on the law from eightto eleven AM. And here's the
cheap plug. Now, if youneed a lawyer, you go to handle
on the law dot com. Ifyou've been injured, you go to handle
on the law dot com, especiallyin an accident, car accident, slip
and fall, etc. Neil isgone all next week. Petros is coming
in and replacing him, and mypodcast has dropped. Last week. It
(21:56):
was the first two podcasts we drophim on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the first
one being My Story, my familystory, How I got here, what
happened to my grandparents having lost theirlives perish in the Holocaust, My dad's
story of which two movie companies optionto his story. It is that extraordinary
(22:18):
first two this week Tuesday and Yesterday, it's about the assassination attempt and the
politics of the RNC. And thencoming up next Tuesday is the story of
Boeing, one of the most storiedcompanies in the United States, and how
it has gone completely in the toilet. And it's a shame to see a
(22:40):
company imploding like that, strangely enough, imploding while its airplanes are exploding in
the air. It's a very interestingcontradiction, isn't it. Okay, guys,
we're done. On Monday, westart all again without Neil because he's
on vacation. Amy starts at fiveam. The rest of us here are

watermelon in a breakfast shake or something. If you want to do juice or
(09:00):
something like that. Adding salt toit will actually make it sweeter funny enough.
You can grill it to do thingswith it, but it may not
be the best in the standard sliceit and eat it context, but you've
already purchased it, So learning tomake something else with it. Juice,
it add some sugar, different thingslike that. Once it's cut up,
(09:22):
if you don't eat it, withinprobably a day, it starts mushing up,
doesn't it. Well, it's goingto yeah, break down because it's
you know, it's been cut openand it's going to start to oxidize and
react to everything. But you youknow, seal it up. I would
say one of the best things todo with it is to make it smoothie
(09:43):
personally, or to grill it upwith some salt and on the grill.
Whole foods surprise bags. Now Idon't I don't shop at whole foods,
because that's way beyond what else beenfor that stuff. They call it.
Page is this. Yeah, thewhole surprise bag is as like party favors,
you walk out with a little bagof stuff. The reason why I
(10:05):
put this in this story in hereis because I really love this app.
There's this app called Too Good toGo, and you can get connected with
it and find out what restaurants have, like pizza places that are gonna be
closing for the evening saying hey,we've got a bunch of slices left over,
you can get them at a discountedprice. Things like that. Well,
(10:28):
similarly, you've got Whole Foods thathas an entire section of pre made
food. Right. You can gothere and you can get soups, you
can get salads, you can getfood that they prepared for the day,
and they don't want it to goto waste. So what they do is
they make these amazing deals. They'rethese surprise bags and they're like nine to
ninety nine, but it's thirty bucksworth of prepared foods, ready to eat
(10:52):
meals, soups, whatever they're doing. The bakery bags can be filled with
fresh bread, muffins, scones,surprise. Are those surprises or you know
it's been But here's the thing.For for instance, if you get a
bakery bag, it's like six ninetynine and it contains twenty one bucks worth
(11:13):
of devilicious baked goods, but youdon't know if it's it might just be
all muffins or it might be freshbread, and so you don't know,
you don't know, and you pickit up and what do you do?
Sea Ah, Well, it's notit's not like you never know. It's
not like you're eating something and findout what it's in your mouth. No,
no, I understand. But you'regoing to get let's say, a
(11:35):
bakery bag is a sea as youcan't choose. You're not okay in there
to go? I want X,Y and zy. This is what we
have. Okay, that's happened.I think it's a smart way to save
food waste and to save money.Yep, all right, that's fair.
Neil With the FOURK Report, that'sSaturday from two to five pm. Or
(11:56):
yes it is PM. Yes,yes, I figure that one out.
I am when people. Yes,we know it's two to five pm and
the show is the Fork Report.You can also reach him on social at
Fork Reporter. Oh, if you'llsee what I looked like with hair.
By the way, for Flashback Friday, I put a picture from nineteen eighty
seven, probably a couple pictures upof what I looked like with hair,
(12:18):
so that you can enjoy that.Yeah, yeah, it's hard to believe
that you were actually uglier, butyou know that's it. We should do
well, I can. Let's doa poll up, an ugly an ugly
poll, which, Neil, doyou think is the most hideous looking?
We are going to come back,Neil, thank you. We'll see you
(12:39):
tomorrow from two to five pm.Indeed the Fork Report. Indeed, all
right, now we're going to moveinto this week's World in review, Living
under a rock. Well, here'swhat you've missed, piping hotch the newswires
from around the corner to around thatworld is this week's world in review.
(13:05):
And so much has happened this week. I don't think I don't remember when
this much happened in one week.And as I'm basically gonna have to do
headlines and to remind you what we'vetalked about this week and what happened,
and so there's an awful lot andit's see a couple of the stories.
(13:26):
You're gonna say that happened weeks andweeks ago. No, no, it
happened this week, all right.It starts with, well, it doesn't
start with Donald Trump accepting the nominationlast night. It starts with Saturday night
with the would be assassin who shotat and hit Donald Trump. But his
(13:46):
ear just grazed his ear. Andthat's why at the convention you could see
him wearing a Maxi pad over hisear through the convention and he probably will
be wearing right through the election,is my guess. Because no, he
was legitimately shot, and he handledit brilliantly. He did, and in
(14:07):
such a way that you knew itwas Donald Trump because as he was being
escorted, if you will, that'sin quotes, being dragged off the stage
into the waiting car, he pumpshis fists in the air and goes fight,
fight, fight, and handled itbrilliantly. So we go to the
(14:28):
convention on Monday, he tells ushe selects his VP, or tells us
who the VP selection is. JdVance, senator from Ohio a year and
a half into his Senate seat,and he becomes now one of the major
players of the Republican Party, sojd Vance and then last night, then
the acceptance speech of the nomination.He rattled on for ninety three minutes and
(14:52):
basically it was a rally. That'sit. Same time Amazon's tenth Prime Day
kicked off two days. Amazon broughtin nearly thirteen billion dollars in two days
from customers around the globe. Andthat is pretty impressive, to say the
(15:13):
least. And at the same time, the Mirage Hotel, Steve wins Hotel
went down and imploded and there hesold it and it's opening up a new
hotel. Now, unfortunately Steve Wincouldn't see it go down. I mean
he was there, but all hecould do is hear it because he's completely
(15:35):
blind. Did you know that,Yes, Steve went is blind, and
yet he's able to build this extraordinarygroup of hotels in the guy's a billionaire.
Also, if you are mailing lettersthis week, postage sam price goes
(15:56):
up jumps for the second time thisyear, five cents, this time around
seventy three cents for first class postage, which is still when you look at
around the world how much postage is. This is still extraordinarily cheap. One
of the things about our postal serviceis it does a hell of a job
for the money that we pay forfirst class mail. It really is a
(16:18):
relative bargain. So why is itlosing business to FedEx and ups? Because
the Postal Service has to deliver mailto every single address in the United States
and the territories. You want towrite to some Inuit village in northern Alaska
(16:40):
that has exactly four igloos, theywill deliver the mail. And in certain
places mail is delivered by for example, the Grand Canyon down at the bottom
of the Grand Canyon, where youcan get mail delivered. No, how
is delivered down there by mule mule. Believe me, FedEx does a do
(17:00):
that. Now you can send mulesby FedEx. I have no idea if
that's true or not. By theway, it's just a nice little saidue.
But you can't. No, no, it's not gonna work that way.
Van Jones, who is on CNN. He's probably one of my favorite
commentators. I think the guy isbrilliant and a virulent anti trumpst said something
(17:22):
really interesting about that. He goes, I don't want to see Donald Trump
be president, but I also don'twant to see him in the hospital or
dead. And that basically wraps itup for a lot of us who are
not big fans of Donald Trump.All right, Joe Biden on his way
out. There is no question themovement to eliminate him as the Democratic nominee
(17:44):
is gaining steam. He was adamant, I am not leaving. There is
no way I'm in the campaign tostay. Here's the problem. Major players
in the Democratic Party have told himit's timed to abouy out and to do
it as graciously as possible. Andhe's not being told you have no chance,
(18:06):
it's over. He's being told it'sover, and you've done a great
job and it is just time tohang it up. The analogy, and
I forget which congress person said,you are a champion pitcher, a champion
ballplayer, there's just a time whenyour career is up and you have to
accept it. And that's the casewith Biden. We don't. So that's
(18:30):
a given that he is leading thecampaign now he's moving exorably, inexorably towards
that position. And then the politicsof politics, this is what makes us
politics so interesting. We don't knowwho is going to be the nominee right
now, the front runner is KamalaHarris. By the very nature that she
(18:53):
is the VP nominee has nothing todo with her popularity or her ability or
her credella credentials aren't bad, buther Does she have the gravitas? I
don't think so. I don't thinkso, and I think that's going to
show so. The luckiest man ofthe world, Donald Trump lucky because he
(19:17):
was able to survive that that attempt, with the assassination attempt, with just
a tiny flesh wound, and thenall of the court cases that have gone
his way, and just the RepublicanParty and the Republicans backing him. The
divisiveness of this country is extraordinary,and I'm going to put it right on
(19:38):
his right in his lap. Somedeaths that were reported, usually it's in
threes. This is in fives.Shannon Doherty Doherty. I always mispronounced her
name, doctor Ruth, Ruth Westheimer. What is she? Two foot eight
and German? And I thin Ithink she was a Holocaust survivor, if
(20:03):
I'm not mistaken. Richard Simmons andthose people that watched him also Holocaust survivors.
Bob Newhart, Lou Dobbs gone theclassified document's case. Back to Donald
Trump being the luckiest guy out therethat was tossed a hail Mary documents case
(20:25):
in Florida with him taking the classifieddocuments. Absolutely was gonna get nailed on
this. That was the strongest casethe government had against him. It was
tossed by a federal judge appointed byhim. On what a lot of legal
folks are saying, really sketchy reasoninghail Mary by his lawyers that no one
(20:45):
thought would go any place. ElonMusk says, he is out of California.
He is done and has gotten verypolitical. He has not only decided
to leave California, he has endorsedDonald Trump within moments after the shooting took
place on Saturday, and is donatingforty five if you want to call it
(21:07):
donation, contributing forty five million dollarsa month to a pack that supports former
President Trump, who is going towin the race at this point, no
question about it. We're done,guys. Wow, what a week it
has been. Okay, a couplethings before we bail out of here tomorrow.
(21:29):
It's handle on the law from eightto eleven AM. And here's the
cheap plug. Now, if youneed a lawyer, you go to handle
on the law dot com. Ifyou've been injured, you go to handle
on the law dot com, especiallyin an accident, car accident, slip
and fall, etc. Neil isgone all next week. Petros is coming
in and replacing him, and mypodcast has dropped. Last week. It
(21:56):
was the first two podcasts we drophim on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the first
one being My Story, my familystory, How I got here, what
happened to my grandparents having lost theirlives perish in the Holocaust, My dad's
story of which two movie companies optionto his story. It is that extraordinary
(22:18):
first two this week Tuesday and Yesterday, it's about the assassination attempt and the
politics of the RNC. And thencoming up next Tuesday is the story of
Boeing, one of the most storiedcompanies in the United States, and how
it has gone completely in the toilet. And it's a shame to see a
(22:40):
company imploding like that, strangely enough, imploding while its airplanes are exploding in
the air. It's a very interestingcontradiction, isn't it. Okay, guys,
we're done. On Monday, westart all again without Neil because he's
on vacation. Amy starts at fiveam. The rest of us here are
