Speaker 1 (02:43):
And man, what a Schwitzerama, It is unbelievable. Come back
to the house and I am dripping, not that you care,
but it's I don't even know why I mentioned that.
I guess just to congratulate myself. All right, let me
see everybody had a decent weekend, and I hope I
don't care, so.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I won't even ask. And you did not work at
so far this weekend?
Speaker 5 (03:06):

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, we're fine, okay, damn yeah yeah Monday, Okay, we

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Period.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Is it's time for handle on the news with Amy
Neil and me lead story?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Is that fine?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, the search for running mate for Kamala Harris is
going balls to the wall.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And she's already chosen. I mean you know that at
this point she has and she is going.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
To well today, maybe she is going to announce, certainly
by tomorrow, and the three final contenders, Governor Tim Waltz
of Walls of Minnesota, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Senator
Mark Kelly of Arizona, A couple of interesting things. I
find Josh Shapiro the most interesting one of all, and
(04:14):
i'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
First of all, he's an observant.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Jew okay, and being of the Hebraic persuasion myself, I
tend to look at him a little closer some real
issues with him.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He is too pro Israeli.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And you've got on Kamala Harris's side the progressives that
are not particularly pro Israeli. They are saying Israel should.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Not be backed up as much as it should.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And so you got the one who is sort of
in the middle of it, Senator Mark Kelly, little conservative,
but with the progressive wants. Progressive want is left wing,
left wing, left wing, and just you know, that's it.
We're gonna draw the line in the sand.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
If I had to guess right now, I would guess,
you know, there's three of them. And if I had
to guess one of them, I would guess that it's
going to be either Tim Walls, Josh Shapiro, or Mark Kelly.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Ah. The insight of Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You're analysis, I mean amazing, and I are a gate
with just this is what I do.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
This is what I do.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You put the anal in analysis, sir, so well done.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yes, hitting a boiling point. Israel is bracing for a
potential attack, a big one from Iran, and it's ally
Hezbola because of the assassination of two senior militant leaders
last week. One happened in Beirut, Lebanon, the other one
in Tehran, Iran.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
When we look back on this, I think the Netanyahu
government is not going to be treated well in history.
I mean, look at how crazy uh, the attack, especially
of the Hamas leader in Tehran, right, an Israeli attack
in Iran, and the guy who was considered a moderate,
(06:24):
well relatively considered Marat, who is in the negotiations to
establish the seat fire cease fire.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Uh, it is. It is very tough.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And the Palestinian question is going to be a big
question in the election for sure. I mean and Uh,
Tehran has said it will attack Israel directly, it will
absolutely attack. And Israel is now bracing for a direct
attack from uh, a direct talk from Iran. And the
(06:58):
US has its fifth fleet now out in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's balls to the wall. And you may see that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Regional war explode, just explode, and I think a lot
of it has to do with a super right wing
Netanyahu government.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Not good news.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So what do you think the odds are of this
becoming a regional war?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I think are pretty high.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right now, that's what's happening in Hisbelah is We're the
israel Is already fighting Hisbelah the northern border in between
Israel and eleven nine in name only that it's not a war.
I mean, it's skirmish, but it's skirmish's plus it just
keeps on escalating and waiting for uh Iran to attack.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I mean, this is not good news.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And for some crazy reason, Netao who believes and the
far right in Israel believes that Hamas will be destroyed,
it will not. Hamas is going to survive. Hamas will
be there. There is nothing to take its place. If
Israel could theoretically take over it will I mean it could,
you know, by moving all of its assets into Gaza,
(08:08):
be occupying force.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So what it is now going to be an Israeli
government occupying market front?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right, Neil, you dropped out on me, bud Oh, All right,
there's good news at least in the stock market.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Right Oh, let me tell you there is an Olympic
class diving going on in the stock market right now.
You've got the US stock market. I'm going to have
another rough day today. We'll find out six thirty our time.
But their sense is those investors, they have a sense
(08:45):
that it is going too sharply lower. But keep in mind,
doubt futures are down eight hundred points. It's two percent futures,
or the broader S and P five hundred are two
point nine percent low. But when you even though that's bad,
it's not a crash when you compare it to other
(09:07):
points in history, like the pandemic. The early days of
the pandemic, it fell about twelve point nine percent, and
you had the broader S and P five hundred and
fell twelve percent that day, second worst decline in history.
So we're not even Black Monday. Back in nineteen eighty
seven it fell like twenty two percent a little bit more,
(09:30):
and SMP five hundred nos dived to twenty zero point
three percent. So bad, but not historically crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
But it'll be the third day in a row.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I remember I bought my house for the Persian Palace,
the place that I bought was on Black Monday, and
we were actually it was on Tuesday and the stock
market had collapsed, and I remember driving to the the courthouse.
It was an auction of the place and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It was going to be empty. And at that point
Marjorie says, Oh my god, we can't buy. The stock
market is crashing. We don't have stock. Do you understand
this is going to be the best thing for us.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
You didn't have any stock, not at that time.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
No, everything I had was in real estate at that time.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Wait, what year did you buy the Persian Palace.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
In nineteen eighty seven? I bought it October twentieth nine.
Not the Persian Palace. I built the Persian Palace. This
was the place I had in Hancock Park adjacent, not.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah Park Palace.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Man was in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, it was on Man's It was in Mansfield.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I remember the one.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That was the one I bought on Black That was
a duplex. It was it was a duplex.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, but it was well.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I remember the next day, man, it was everybody was
wheeling wheeling. Good time to buy up past property by
the way, So anyway, it was horrific and we'll see
what happens today. Politically, this has some huge, huge impact
because what's this going to do if the stock market,
if the economy does fall. Remember the stock market is
(11:16):
it's historic high.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It can't go up consistently one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
This gives ammunition, plenty of it to Donald Trump because well,
here it is. It's the Biden Harris. You know it's there.
Go you know it happened under Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Here's a shocker. The Belgium triathlon team pulled out of
Monday's planned mixed relay event in the Sen River because
one of its athletes got sick. That athlete participated in
the initial triathlon. The Swiss team I had to switch
out some teammates because one of swimmers is also sick.
(12:02):
And then it reports surfaced in Belgian media that USA
Today couldn't confirm that the swimmer who is sick is
hospitalized with ecoli.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Ooh, well, we knew this was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We knew, we called it, we said it.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Okay, well, this is certainly good news. US Customs and
Border Protection officers in Arizona said that they made the
single largest bust of fetanyl in the agency's history. After
seizing four million with an M pills from a twenty
year old man who was driving a pickup truck. He
(12:41):
was hauling a sport you know, vehicle in the back.
He's got this utility trailer and I guess the authorities
were looking at and said they found some anomalies with
the trailer frame, and the K nineteen came out found
two hundred and thirty four packages of drugs hidden in
the frame.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, I have a question.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I mean, we we all know that it just the
tiniest little amount of fentanyl kills you.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean this tiny little drop fentanyl pills.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'm assuming there is very small fentanyl in those pills.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I mean, you think of it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
These are pills of fentanyl, you know, the death pills
that anybody would take them would die instantly. So I
don't quite understand. I'm not an expert on fentanyl. I
know fair amount about cocaine and pot and everything else
that we all know about heroin, But fentanyl, I'm not
really that. Uh don't have much expertise there. How does
(13:38):
that work? And we should find that out. When you
buy these fentanyl pills, is it just to get high
on fentanyl, is it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, you got to imagine it's got filler like any
other Yeah, yeah, I know, I know the amount of
the active ingredient.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah course.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean if it were if you're pure fentanyl, you'd
be dead in ten seconds.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
But so are they cutting this or breaking it down?
I don't know what these are pills.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
These are manufactured pills, you know, done by you know,
on machinery on I assume modern pill making machinery.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I wonder what the turnover is like in that factory.
Yeah you didn't there's guys. Yeah, it drops. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Anyway, twenty million, that's four million pills.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's a lot of twenty year old guy.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Debbie has arrived. We're talking about Hurricane Debbie who It
was a tropical storm. It increased to hurricane strength in
the Gulf of Mexico and then made landfall in Florida
this morning with winds blowing eighty miles per hour. It's
got high winds, higher gusts, and a storm surge. And
(14:49):
then as it moves through Florida, it's expected to lose
some of its gas, but still we'll pack quite the punch.
Thirty inches of rain expected in some areas.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Thirty inch of rain. I mean, what do you do
with thirty inches of rain?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And then what you're going to be, as I said
when we opened the show, Amy, you are going to
be reporting this morning it'll be a yard and a
half of rain will be arriving.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I mean it will be by wow.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Do you remember when in southern California if there was
half an inch of rain, that was big news.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
A half inch of rain at a time.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You're measuring rain like we measure snow. Yeah, essentially at
this point, all right, this is at the top of
the WTF file. Robert F. Kennedy Junior, you know, the
independent presidential candidate. He confessed yesterday that he left a
(15:56):
dead bear cub in Central Park in Manton there in
twenty fourteen because he thought it would be amusing, weird
ass story. And he's coming out because he did an interview,
I guess with the New Yorker and it's going to
be coming out and he wanted to get ahead of
the story. He said he was looking forward to seeing
(16:17):
how they spin this one. But he told Roseanne Barr
about the ordeal, and he explained that I guess somebody
he was driving somebody hit a bear in Hudson Valley.
He saw a woman in a van hit and kill
the young bear. He pulled over, picked up the bear,
put him in the back of his van because he
says he was going to skin the bear. It was
in good condition. He was going to put the meat
(16:39):
and his refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
All right, And I want to make a point here, Okay,
I am sick and tired of these presidential candidates leaving
dead bears in Central Park story.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's I'm up to hear with those.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I won't add those stories anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, limit them to one a week maybe, But what.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He's a fruitcake anyway. He is a complete fruitcake to
begin with.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Okay, you say that, But the more these stories come out,
I'm like, I gotta have a drink with this guy.
I like, I'm curious. I'm not gonna vote for him,
but I'm curious about him because listen, is that horrible?
I guess, And somebody is it funny? Yeah, he put
it next to a bike to make it look like
(17:25):
the bike. The bear where it's demented but I mean
the bear was dead already. I don't know. It's just
a weird ass story. And the guy and there's something
dead behind his eyes when you look at him, there's
something like he's not present. Whenever I see his.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Dad of him, what his dad? That's a horrible all right,
we're done.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
COVID has some staying power.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
California's summer COVID surge has been particularly strong and enduring.
They're saying that the case numbers are about double what
they were a month ago. The surge probably related to
the ever more infectious sub variants. The ones going around
now are the flirt variants, and Elizabeth Hudson, who's the
(18:10):
regional chief of infectious Disease at Kaiser Permanente Southern California,
says it's expected because they're getting weaker, which means they're
getting more infectious, so the virus can survive.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
It's becoming endemic.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Doctor Jim Kenney has told us about this.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's gonna be get the it's gonna be the flu, that's.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
And you're gonna get a flu shot every year, and
it's going to be combined with the COVID shot and
it's gonna be one happy inoculation every year.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You've had it, right handle I had?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I think, Well, I don't know, because in those days
we didn't know that it was COVID. I got it
in December before we knew in February that it was COVID.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Before it was.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
We knew, we knew there was something coming out, and
I got it pretty early. I was sick as a dog.
Whether it was COVID or not, I don't know. Since then,
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I think I might have had it before my surgery. Yeah,
you know, you don't know, because I had this weird thing,
and that would have been in late November.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeahcember, that's early days. That's early days have had it.
March is where it really we realized it was COVID
and it was differentiated and it was and people were
dying at that point. I mean, I got pretty sick,
but not everybody died, obviously, because a.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Friend of mine has it now and she's miserable. She
said it was pretty it's our third time, says, who
is this a friend of mine?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Oh okay, yeah, two of my best friends haven't right now.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Oh man, don't go around Amy, Luckily.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
They don't live here anymore. They're up in passa roab lists.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
M hm, well you travel all right, So you heard
Amy talking about this on wake up call this morning.
How crazy is that? Normally you gain pounds when you
go to Orange County Fair. Someone became a millionaire by
gaining moolah. Lucky person purchased a one million dollar Multiplier
Craze Scratcher ticket at the California Lottery Live booth, which
(20:13):
was operated by five Star Liquor from Westminster.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Is that what hear?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We never hear of million dollar winters, winners with Chris scratchers.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
No, that's that's pretty unusual.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, I mean we don't even hear a small zillion
dollar winters. You know, we hear with billion and four
hundred million. But when it's thirty four million dollars and
it opens up at twenty six million dollars, someone's in it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Do you even do you even report that?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
We, but we not as much anymore because now we're
getting those huge billion dollar dollars jackpots.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
But we do.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
We're getting under right, and you're not gonna go someone
won five hundred thousand dollars with a scratcher.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Well, we do fit's a local person and they matched
like five of six, not with the scratchers, but with
the lotto tickets. And then every once in a while you
get a scratcher, that's a big payoff. We'll mention that
like that one getting a first look at the killers.
LAPD has released some security images of the people's suspected
(21:24):
of shooting General Hospital actor Johnny Whacter. Remember it happened
in downtown LA back on May twenty fifth. He had
just gotten off a shift as a bartender and confronted
three people who were trying to steal his catalytic converter.
One of the guys pulled out a gun and shot him,
killed him. The guy they're looking for has a tattoo
(21:45):
above his left eye and on his right cheek, and
police are also saying the getaway car was a stolen
twenty eighteen black four door Infinity Q fifty with a
tan interior, of course stolen, so chances of them still
having it, who knows?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, it's really I mean, just the horrific look.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
He sees things as being told and he goes over there,
sees that it's they're going for his catalytic converter confronts
them and they just point blank shooting. Also with this story,
it just re emphasizes how fickle acting is. He's a
star of General Hospital, a star twenty twenty to twenty
twenty two, and he is a bartender.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, isn't that interesting that it's a fickle business.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's a fickle business.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
My favorite story is there was a guy and I
don't remember the actor's name, but you'd probably recognize him,
but he's been in a couple of movies and I
saw him doing the what's it called Vita mix at
the costco. He's doing vitamins demonstrations and he'd been in
a series of movies and I was like, oh, my goodness. Yeah,
(22:53):
how your fortunes turn around so quickly?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Or or or waiting between parts?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I mean you even reasonably successful actor is there's going
to be a lull uh and you're going out auditions
but you know, maybe you want to do something and
probably not, You're probably miserable.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
If you do. You recognize them and say something. Because
I've been served by actors, fairly well known actors, working actors.
I've been served by them. Do you mention Hey, I
enjoy your work, or because I don't think, Hey, work
is work?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, yeah, No, I've recognized you know someone now you
know same thing.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Service, Go hey, how's your career doing working out for you?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Is that what you said?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Of course people don't recognize your voice handle when you go.
Do you want fries with that?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Of course they hey, of course they do, all right.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
The Vatican has joined in on the chorus of what
I'm going to call confusion. But they say that the
drag queen's mocking Christianity and a parody of the Last Supper,
as this is a really delayed reaction at the opening
of the Paris Olympics, and so the Holy See, the
(24:06):
governing body there, I guess the Vatican says that they
were offended and that it was an attack on Christianity.
Of course we know that that was not Jesus in
the Last Supper, but it was a nod to Dionysus,
who is an interesting cat unto himself, Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity,
(24:30):
madness and wild frenzy. And I think they nailed.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It fas still and from the beginning, though I correct
you a little bit. I mean it's gaining let's say
it's a snowball rolling in terms of the the anger
with it.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And also, but it wasn't Christ.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well, I think it could easily been interpreted to Christ.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
And then there was the story tells us about the
pre recorded depiction of and I quote Randy Young clowns
roaming the streets of Iris before initiating a MENAJATOI.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Okay, so that one the Vatican has a problem with.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
How about those priests conforting with those eight year old
boys running around.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm sure they're going to be upset with that.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
The reality is it is the hosting country trying to
show their culture and beliefs. It's not about us. And
as a Christian, you know, I pretty much know that
people are going to come out and mock religion and
faith of any kind except Muslims.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
But that's because you die if you do that.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You said it, not me. I'm just saying that it's
gonna happen. And if you ever saw a painting of Dionysus,
you'd go, yep, that's the guy right there from the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
US F sixteen's are taken to the skies over Ukraine
President Zelenski has confirmed for the first time that the
the F sixteen fighter jets are in his country. He's
been trying to get them since the start of the war,
like two years ago. They said that we need this
to defend against Russian missiles. And now the F sixteens
(26:13):
will be able to provide air cover for troops, attack
ground targets, take on enemy planes, and intercept missiles. They're
not saying how many they have, but apparently their pilots
have been training, and he said that they are in
the skies.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Oh and he said, oh, and we need more.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
A couple of problems with the F sixteens is, first
of all, they're obviously American made and they're American jet fighters,
and Ukrainians have never had F sixteens. They've actually always
had Russian planes. And these fighter pilots have been training
for about six nine months.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Takes three years to really know that airplane.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So that is a huge disadvantage that they're going to have.
And it is is it going to really tilt anything.
It's not going to make that big an impact. More
of a morale issue, and the Russians at this point
are winning. I mean they are just grinding outland. It's
just you know, by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
It's fodder.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And this is how Russia.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Won World War Two, by the way, is it just
eight up its fighting men, that's it by the millions.
So you know, we'll see what happens on this one boy.
Did Prutin guess wrong on this? And he keeps on
doubling down, doubling down and doubling down. He thought he
was going to take ke Evan three days.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
All right. Rioters are setting fire and they even broke
into hotels used to shelter asylum seekers in northern England
just yesterday, as the country is in this weird state
of unrest. They haven't seen this kind of unrest in years.
The violence was triggered by the stabbing of three young
(27:48):
girls in Southport, Northwest England, earlier in the week. So
far right, they say, are seizing on this, spreading a
wave of what some called disinformation, saying false claims that
the attacker was an immigrant.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Who wasn't And he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
No, it was born in Britain. Yeah, but anti Muslim answer.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
We don't even know if he was a Muslim or not.
Has that information been released.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
No, But I think it's interesting that they say, police
say the suspect was born in Britain, but they never
ever refer to I mean, who cares?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Well, No, it's a question of I tell you who cares.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
People that are looking at the right wing, whether they're
just making it up, well, you know what, you're right,
who cares?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
They're gonna do it anyway? Good peat.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
It's not about that. I mean, they were born, they're British.
Who cares what they're faith?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
All right, We're done, guys.
Speaker 1 (28:41):

Hot hot.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
We've got heat advisories in effect today, of course we do. Yeah,
and back through tomorrow, and then we should start cooling
down by midweek and be back to more normal.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You know, in the morning hours to the show, I do,
I walk an hour. I mean, can you believe that?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And man, what a Schwitzerama, It is unbelievable. Come back
to the house and I am dripping, not that you care,
but it's I don't even know why I mentioned that.
I guess just to congratulate myself. All right, let me
see everybody had a decent weekend, and I hope I
don't care, so.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I won't even ask. And you did not work at
so far this weekend?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
No, I did not.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And then it starts going like crazy.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Preseason football next weekend?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (03:12):

Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Okay, fair enough? All right, guys, you're ready to do it?
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yay, all right, let's get the excitement.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, you ready to do it?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, we're fine, okay, damn yeah yeah Monday, Okay, we
rev up.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Period.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Is it's time for handle on the news with Amy
Neil and me lead story?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Is that fine?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, the search for running mate for Kamala Harris is
going balls to the wall.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And she's already chosen. I mean you know that at
this point she has and she is going.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
To well today, maybe she is going to announce, certainly
by tomorrow, and the three final contenders, Governor Tim Waltz
of Walls of Minnesota, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Senator
Mark Kelly of Arizona, A couple of interesting things. I
find Josh Shapiro the most interesting one of all, and
(04:14):
i'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
First of all, he's an observant.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Jew okay, and being of the Hebraic persuasion myself, I
tend to look at him a little closer some real
issues with him.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He is too pro Israeli.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And you've got on Kamala Harris's side the progressives that
are not particularly pro Israeli. They are saying Israel should.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Not be backed up as much as it should.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And so you got the one who is sort of
in the middle of it, Senator Mark Kelly, little conservative,
but with the progressive wants. Progressive want is left wing,
left wing, left wing, and just you know, that's it.
We're gonna draw the line in the sand.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
If I had to guess right now, I would guess,
you know, there's three of them. And if I had
to guess one of them, I would guess that it's
going to be either Tim Walls, Josh Shapiro, or Mark Kelly.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Ah. The insight of Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You're analysis, I mean amazing, and I are a gate
with just this is what I do.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
This is what I do.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You put the anal in analysis, sir, so well done.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yes, hitting a boiling point. Israel is bracing for a
potential attack, a big one from Iran, and it's ally
Hezbola because of the assassination of two senior militant leaders
last week. One happened in Beirut, Lebanon, the other one
in Tehran, Iran.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
When we look back on this, I think the Netanyahu
government is not going to be treated well in history.
I mean, look at how crazy uh, the attack, especially
of the Hamas leader in Tehran, right, an Israeli attack
in Iran, and the guy who was considered a moderate,
(06:24):
well relatively considered Marat, who is in the negotiations to
establish the seat fire cease fire.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Uh, it is. It is very tough.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And the Palestinian question is going to be a big
question in the election for sure. I mean and Uh,
Tehran has said it will attack Israel directly, it will
absolutely attack. And Israel is now bracing for a direct
attack from uh, a direct talk from Iran. And the
(06:58):
US has its fifth fleet now out in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's balls to the wall. And you may see that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Regional war explode, just explode, and I think a lot
of it has to do with a super right wing
Netanyahu government.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Not good news.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So what do you think the odds are of this
becoming a regional war?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I think are pretty high.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right now, that's what's happening in Hisbelah is We're the
israel Is already fighting Hisbelah the northern border in between
Israel and eleven nine in name only that it's not a war.
I mean, it's skirmish, but it's skirmish's plus it just
keeps on escalating and waiting for uh Iran to attack.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I mean, this is not good news.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And for some crazy reason, Netao who believes and the
far right in Israel believes that Hamas will be destroyed,
it will not. Hamas is going to survive. Hamas will
be there. There is nothing to take its place. If
Israel could theoretically take over it will I mean it could,
you know, by moving all of its assets into Gaza,
(08:08):
be occupying force.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So what it is now going to be an Israeli
government occupying market front?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right, Neil, you dropped out on me, bud Oh, All right,
there's good news at least in the stock market.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Right Oh, let me tell you there is an Olympic
class diving going on in the stock market right now.
You've got the US stock market. I'm going to have
another rough day today. We'll find out six thirty our time.
But their sense is those investors, they have a sense
(08:45):
that it is going too sharply lower. But keep in mind,
doubt futures are down eight hundred points. It's two percent futures,
or the broader S and P five hundred are two
point nine percent low. But when you even though that's bad,
it's not a crash when you compare it to other
(09:07):
points in history, like the pandemic. The early days of
the pandemic, it fell about twelve point nine percent, and
you had the broader S and P five hundred and
fell twelve percent that day, second worst decline in history.
So we're not even Black Monday. Back in nineteen eighty
seven it fell like twenty two percent a little bit more,
(09:30):
and SMP five hundred nos dived to twenty zero point
three percent. So bad, but not historically crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
But it'll be the third day in a row.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I remember I bought my house for the Persian Palace,
the place that I bought was on Black Monday, and
we were actually it was on Tuesday and the stock
market had collapsed, and I remember driving to the the courthouse.
It was an auction of the place and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It was going to be empty. And at that point
Marjorie says, Oh my god, we can't buy. The stock
market is crashing. We don't have stock. Do you understand
this is going to be the best thing for us.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
You didn't have any stock, not at that time.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
No, everything I had was in real estate at that time.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Wait, what year did you buy the Persian Palace.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
In nineteen eighty seven? I bought it October twentieth nine.
Not the Persian Palace. I built the Persian Palace. This
was the place I had in Hancock Park adjacent, not.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah Park Palace.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Man was in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, it was on Man's It was in Mansfield.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I remember the one.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That was the one I bought on Black That was
a duplex. It was it was a duplex.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, but it was well.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I remember the next day, man, it was everybody was
wheeling wheeling. Good time to buy up past property by
the way, So anyway, it was horrific and we'll see
what happens today. Politically, this has some huge, huge impact
because what's this going to do if the stock market,
if the economy does fall. Remember the stock market is
(11:16):
it's historic high.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It can't go up consistently one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
This gives ammunition, plenty of it to Donald Trump because well,
here it is. It's the Biden Harris. You know it's there.
Go you know it happened under Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Here's a shocker. The Belgium triathlon team pulled out of
Monday's planned mixed relay event in the Sen River because
one of its athletes got sick. That athlete participated in
the initial triathlon. The Swiss team I had to switch
out some teammates because one of swimmers is also sick.
(12:02):
And then it reports surfaced in Belgian media that USA
Today couldn't confirm that the swimmer who is sick is
hospitalized with ecoli.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Ooh, well, we knew this was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We knew, we called it, we said it.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Okay, well, this is certainly good news. US Customs and
Border Protection officers in Arizona said that they made the
single largest bust of fetanyl in the agency's history. After
seizing four million with an M pills from a twenty
year old man who was driving a pickup truck. He
(12:41):
was hauling a sport you know, vehicle in the back.
He's got this utility trailer and I guess the authorities
were looking at and said they found some anomalies with
the trailer frame, and the K nineteen came out found
two hundred and thirty four packages of drugs hidden in
the frame.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, I have a question.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I mean, we we all know that it just the
tiniest little amount of fentanyl kills you.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean this tiny little drop fentanyl pills.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'm assuming there is very small fentanyl in those pills.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I mean, you think of it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
These are pills of fentanyl, you know, the death pills
that anybody would take them would die instantly. So I
don't quite understand. I'm not an expert on fentanyl. I
know fair amount about cocaine and pot and everything else
that we all know about heroin, But fentanyl, I'm not
really that. Uh don't have much expertise there. How does
(13:38):
that work? And we should find that out. When you
buy these fentanyl pills, is it just to get high
on fentanyl, is it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, you got to imagine it's got filler like any
other Yeah, yeah, I know, I know the amount of
the active ingredient.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah course.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean if it were if you're pure fentanyl, you'd
be dead in ten seconds.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
But so are they cutting this or breaking it down?
I don't know what these are pills.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
These are manufactured pills, you know, done by you know,
on machinery on I assume modern pill making machinery.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I wonder what the turnover is like in that factory.
Yeah you didn't there's guys. Yeah, it drops. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Anyway, twenty million, that's four million pills.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's a lot of twenty year old guy.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Debbie has arrived. We're talking about Hurricane Debbie who It
was a tropical storm. It increased to hurricane strength in
the Gulf of Mexico and then made landfall in Florida
this morning with winds blowing eighty miles per hour. It's
got high winds, higher gusts, and a storm surge. And
(14:49):
then as it moves through Florida, it's expected to lose
some of its gas, but still we'll pack quite the punch.
Thirty inches of rain expected in some areas.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Thirty inch of rain. I mean, what do you do
with thirty inches of rain?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And then what you're going to be, as I said
when we opened the show, Amy, you are going to
be reporting this morning it'll be a yard and a
half of rain will be arriving.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I mean it will be by wow.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Do you remember when in southern California if there was
half an inch of rain, that was big news.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
A half inch of rain at a time.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You're measuring rain like we measure snow. Yeah, essentially at
this point, all right, this is at the top of
the WTF file. Robert F. Kennedy Junior, you know, the
independent presidential candidate. He confessed yesterday that he left a
(15:56):
dead bear cub in Central Park in Manton there in
twenty fourteen because he thought it would be amusing, weird
ass story. And he's coming out because he did an interview,
I guess with the New Yorker and it's going to
be coming out and he wanted to get ahead of
the story. He said he was looking forward to seeing
(16:17):
how they spin this one. But he told Roseanne Barr
about the ordeal, and he explained that I guess somebody
he was driving somebody hit a bear in Hudson Valley.
He saw a woman in a van hit and kill
the young bear. He pulled over, picked up the bear,
put him in the back of his van because he
says he was going to skin the bear. It was
in good condition. He was going to put the meat
(16:39):
and his refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
All right, And I want to make a point here, Okay,
I am sick and tired of these presidential candidates leaving
dead bears in Central Park story.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's I'm up to hear with those.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I won't add those stories anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, limit them to one a week maybe, But what.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He's a fruitcake anyway. He is a complete fruitcake to
begin with.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Okay, you say that, But the more these stories come out,
I'm like, I gotta have a drink with this guy.
I like, I'm curious. I'm not gonna vote for him,
but I'm curious about him because listen, is that horrible?
I guess, And somebody is it funny? Yeah, he put
it next to a bike to make it look like
(17:25):
the bike. The bear where it's demented but I mean
the bear was dead already. I don't know. It's just
a weird ass story. And the guy and there's something
dead behind his eyes when you look at him, there's
something like he's not present. Whenever I see his.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Dad of him, what his dad? That's a horrible all right,
we're done.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
COVID has some staying power.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
California's summer COVID surge has been particularly strong and enduring.
They're saying that the case numbers are about double what
they were a month ago. The surge probably related to
the ever more infectious sub variants. The ones going around
now are the flirt variants, and Elizabeth Hudson, who's the
(18:10):
regional chief of infectious Disease at Kaiser Permanente Southern California,
says it's expected because they're getting weaker, which means they're
getting more infectious, so the virus can survive.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
It's becoming endemic.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Doctor Jim Kenney has told us about this.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's gonna be get the it's gonna be the flu, that's.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
What it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
And you're gonna get a flu shot every year, and
it's going to be combined with the COVID shot and
it's gonna be one happy inoculation every year.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You've had it, right handle I had?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I think, Well, I don't know, because in those days
we didn't know that it was COVID. I got it
in December before we knew in February that it was COVID.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Before it was.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
We knew, we knew there was something coming out, and
I got it pretty early. I was sick as a dog.
Whether it was COVID or not, I don't know. Since then,
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I think I might have had it before my surgery. Yeah,
you know, you don't know, because I had this weird thing,
and that would have been in late November.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeahcember, that's early days. That's early days have had it.
March is where it really we realized it was COVID
and it was differentiated and it was and people were
dying at that point. I mean, I got pretty sick,
but not everybody died, obviously, because a.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Friend of mine has it now and she's miserable. She
said it was pretty it's our third time, says, who
is this a friend of mine?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Oh okay, yeah, two of my best friends haven't right now.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Oh man, don't go around Amy, Luckily.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
They don't live here anymore. They're up in passa roab lists.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
M hm, well you travel all right, So you heard
Amy talking about this on wake up call this morning.
How crazy is that? Normally you gain pounds when you
go to Orange County Fair. Someone became a millionaire by
gaining moolah. Lucky person purchased a one million dollar Multiplier
Craze Scratcher ticket at the California Lottery Live booth, which
(20:13):
was operated by five Star Liquor from Westminster.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Is that what hear?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We never hear of million dollar winters, winners with Chris scratchers.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
No, that's that's pretty unusual.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, I mean we don't even hear a small zillion
dollar winters. You know, we hear with billion and four
hundred million. But when it's thirty four million dollars and
it opens up at twenty six million dollars, someone's in it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Do you even do you even report that?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
We, but we not as much anymore because now we're
getting those huge billion dollar dollars jackpots.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
But we do.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
We're getting under right, and you're not gonna go someone
won five hundred thousand dollars with a scratcher.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Well, we do fit's a local person and they matched
like five of six, not with the scratchers, but with
the lotto tickets. And then every once in a while you
get a scratcher, that's a big payoff. We'll mention that
like that one getting a first look at the killers.
LAPD has released some security images of the people's suspected
(21:24):
of shooting General Hospital actor Johnny Whacter. Remember it happened
in downtown LA back on May twenty fifth. He had
just gotten off a shift as a bartender and confronted
three people who were trying to steal his catalytic converter.
One of the guys pulled out a gun and shot him,
killed him. The guy they're looking for has a tattoo
(21:45):
above his left eye and on his right cheek, and
police are also saying the getaway car was a stolen
twenty eighteen black four door Infinity Q fifty with a
tan interior, of course stolen, so chances of them still
having it, who knows?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, it's really I mean, just the horrific look.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
He sees things as being told and he goes over there,
sees that it's they're going for his catalytic converter confronts
them and they just point blank shooting. Also with this story,
it just re emphasizes how fickle acting is. He's a
star of General Hospital, a star twenty twenty to twenty
twenty two, and he is a bartender.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, isn't that interesting that it's a fickle business.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's a fickle business.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
My favorite story is there was a guy and I
don't remember the actor's name, but you'd probably recognize him,
but he's been in a couple of movies and I
saw him doing the what's it called Vita mix at
the costco. He's doing vitamins demonstrations and he'd been in
a series of movies and I was like, oh, my goodness. Yeah,
(22:53):
how your fortunes turn around so quickly?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Or or or waiting between parts?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I mean you even reasonably successful actor is there's going
to be a lull uh and you're going out auditions
but you know, maybe you want to do something and
probably not, You're probably miserable.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
If you do. You recognize them and say something. Because
I've been served by actors, fairly well known actors, working actors.
I've been served by them. Do you mention Hey, I
enjoy your work, or because I don't think, Hey, work
is work?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, yeah, No, I've recognized you know someone now you
know same thing.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Service, Go hey, how's your career doing working out for you?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Is that what you said?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Of course people don't recognize your voice handle when you go.
Do you want fries with that?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Of course they hey, of course they do, all right.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
The Vatican has joined in on the chorus of what
I'm going to call confusion. But they say that the
drag queen's mocking Christianity and a parody of the Last Supper,
as this is a really delayed reaction at the opening
of the Paris Olympics, and so the Holy See, the
(24:06):
governing body there, I guess the Vatican says that they
were offended and that it was an attack on Christianity.
Of course we know that that was not Jesus in
the Last Supper, but it was a nod to Dionysus,
who is an interesting cat unto himself, Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity,
(24:30):
madness and wild frenzy. And I think they nailed.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It fas still and from the beginning, though I correct
you a little bit. I mean it's gaining let's say
it's a snowball rolling in terms of the the anger
with it.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And also, but it wasn't Christ.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well, I think it could easily been interpreted to Christ.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
And then there was the story tells us about the
pre recorded depiction of and I quote Randy Young clowns
roaming the streets of Iris before initiating a MENAJATOI.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Okay, so that one the Vatican has a problem with.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
How about those priests conforting with those eight year old
boys running around.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm sure they're going to be upset with that.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
The reality is it is the hosting country trying to
show their culture and beliefs. It's not about us. And
as a Christian, you know, I pretty much know that
people are going to come out and mock religion and
faith of any kind except Muslims.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
But that's because you die if you do that.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You said it, not me. I'm just saying that it's
gonna happen. And if you ever saw a painting of Dionysus,
you'd go, yep, that's the guy right there from the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
US F sixteen's are taken to the skies over Ukraine
President Zelenski has confirmed for the first time that the
the F sixteen fighter jets are in his country. He's
been trying to get them since the start of the war,
like two years ago. They said that we need this
to defend against Russian missiles. And now the F sixteens
(26:13):
will be able to provide air cover for troops, attack
ground targets, take on enemy planes, and intercept missiles. They're
not saying how many they have, but apparently their pilots
have been training, and he said that they are in
the skies.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Oh and he said, oh, and we need more.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
A couple of problems with the F sixteens is, first
of all, they're obviously American made and they're American jet fighters,
and Ukrainians have never had F sixteens. They've actually always
had Russian planes. And these fighter pilots have been training
for about six nine months.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Takes three years to really know that airplane.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So that is a huge disadvantage that they're going to have.
And it is is it going to really tilt anything.
It's not going to make that big an impact. More
of a morale issue, and the Russians at this point
are winning. I mean they are just grinding outland. It's
just you know, by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
It's fodder.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And this is how Russia.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Won World War Two, by the way, is it just
eight up its fighting men, that's it by the millions.
So you know, we'll see what happens on this one boy.
Did Prutin guess wrong on this? And he keeps on
doubling down, doubling down and doubling down. He thought he
was going to take ke Evan three days.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
All right. Rioters are setting fire and they even broke
into hotels used to shelter asylum seekers in northern England
just yesterday, as the country is in this weird state
of unrest. They haven't seen this kind of unrest in years.
The violence was triggered by the stabbing of three young
(27:48):
girls in Southport, Northwest England, earlier in the week. So
far right, they say, are seizing on this, spreading a
wave of what some called disinformation, saying false claims that
the attacker was an immigrant.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Who wasn't And he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
No, it was born in Britain. Yeah, but anti Muslim answer.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
We don't even know if he was a Muslim or not.
Has that information been released.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
No, But I think it's interesting that they say, police
say the suspect was born in Britain, but they never
ever refer to I mean, who cares?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Well, No, it's a question of I tell you who cares.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
People that are looking at the right wing, whether they're
just making it up, well, you know what, you're right,
who cares?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
They're gonna do it anyway? Good peat.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
It's not about that. I mean, they were born, they're British.
Who cares what they're faith?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
All right, We're done, guys.
