Pennsylvania has already become ground zero for election-fraud claims.There's no such thing as a guaranteed Supreme Court vacancy. The little sins we commit at work and the bosses who are cracking down.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty KFI AM six forty Handle Here Morning Crew
on Thursday morning, October thirty one. Halloween Tonight, coming up
at eight thirty. I'm gonna give you the history of
trick or treating and it's kind of fun where it

(00:22):
came from and what's going on, and maybe some personal
stories around here, and that's gonna be just fun. Joe
Larsguard at eight o'clock. Now, I want to talk about
what's going on next Tuesday, the general election. And as
was well anticipated, the Republicans, especially Donald Trump, is already

(00:47):
claiming fraud, already claiming that if he loses, the election
is rigged. He cannot lose without a rigged election. He
says that the only free election in this country is
if he wins, and he's got a whole lot of people.
This is where the detractors of Donald Trump are saying

(01:09):
that he is a risk to the democracy of this country.
Here's what Basically the reason is the one that resonates
to me in a big way. I mean the personal stuff.
I don't like him because as an individual and I
find him I don't think he is fit personality wise,
moral compass wise to be the president. But the argument

(01:30):
that he is a risk to democracy makes sense because
of what Trump and his followers have done. So many
people in this country do not believe there are fair
elections anymore, that our democracy is gone, and elections are
the most secure we have ever had because of the

(01:54):
backlash of these attacks. The elections are the safest, the
most secure we've had in the history of the United States.
Yet they are rigged. And I'll tell you where it's
really coming down ground zero in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is a
make or break and whoever wins Pennsylvania probably wins the presidency.

(02:17):
So let's look at some of the posts and some
of the conspiracy theories that are now flying around. Nuns
in Erie, Pennsylvania are being accused of perpetrating voter fraud. Nuns,
there is a suburban Philadelphia election line snaffoo. There was

(02:37):
a line snaffoo, and that's being amplified across the world.
Under half an hour and on Tuesday a rally, Trump
declared quote, they have already started cheating. In Lancaster, Pennsylvania
and across Pennsylvania, local and state officials are warning that

(02:59):
Trump and his supporters calling into question the integrity of
the election already is a huge risk. And this is
before a single ballot has been counted. As I said
earlier before the election, one hundred and thirty lawsuits have
already been filed. I mean, it is devastating, by the way,

(03:24):
as far as the rigging of the previous election, when
Joe Biden won and still the majority of Republicans, seventy
four percent of Republicans still believe it was rigged. My
question has always been to them, how did those lawsuits
get past sixty four judges? How did that work? The
Democrats are that smart? How did they convince every single government,

(03:51):
every single state government, fifty of them to certify the elections.
Are the Democrats that smart? And if they are, we'll
stop right now. We've got Kamala Harris as president. I'll
tell you right now. If the Democrats are that smart,
of course they're not. Republican Secretary of Pennsylvania, the top

(04:12):
election official, Al Schmith, Republican Republican really conservative, said in
the previous twenty four hours, there have been several widely
disseminated videos that were out completely out of context or
were outright lies. Here's the quote. Sharing social posts filled
with half truths or even outright lies is harmful to

(04:34):
our representative democracy. That's the issue where the risk to
our democracy is. And he added, voters should get information
from trusted sources. Well, let's trusted sources. The Internet info wars.
That's where trusted sources are. The major news outlets are

(04:55):
not trusted, the major networks not trusted, the major newspapers
not trusted, the major services reuters not trusted. That's the problem.
You have to go from trust to sources. And there's
no such thing as trust the sources anymore. Mainstream it

(05:18):
doesn't exist. And that's Trump. That is Trump. And I
don't care what side of it is you're on. You
tell me that Trump did not start this. He absolutely did.
And Schmidt as other authorities are worrying that the attacks
will erode faith in our system of representative governments. And

(05:42):
of course it's setting the stage for some really fierce
like legal challenges after the election, much less one hundred
and thirty that have already been filed, which by the way,
some are legitimate. That's the problem. There are some legitimate
lawsuits that have been filed attacking the voting process in
very technical issues. But now that's expanded to fraud is

(06:08):
happening all over Pennsylvania, widespread fraud. It's being rigged by
the Democrats. Why wouldn't it be why do the Democrats
only rig this? By the way, why woudn't the Republicans
rig the election? Two to go making sure that Trump wins.
Republicans are honest and Democrats are They're, you know, all dishonest,

(06:33):
including the Republican election officials, which at least there are
at least half of them are Republican. Democrats have convinced
them to rig the election. I would think that some
Republicans would argue that asking the Democratic officials to rig
the election for Kamala Harris, but that does not happening.

(06:56):
That doesn't exist now Pennsylvanian and the argument that the
election has been rigged already by the Democrats. Trump has
already said that it is a rigged election, and one
hundred and thirty lawsuits have already been filed, and now
keep in mind that's before Tuesday. After Tuesday, you're going

(07:17):
to see hundreds more filed, but only in battleground states
and only in counties where Trump loses, and in those
counties it is rigged. That's not to say it's not
rigged all over the country, but it doesn't. You wouldn't
file a lawsuit in a county where it didn't matter
or Trump had won. And it's really tough Pennsylvania. By

(07:41):
the way, he had one of the most the biggest
number of lawsuits in twenty twenty, but that occurred afterwards.
And by the way, as I've said, every single one
of those was deemed frivolous by the courts. Lawnie lost
his law license because of his lies. John Eastman, who

(08:06):
was responsible for that ridiculous attempt or argument that Mike
Pence could stop the election by failing to count the votes.
He lost his law license, and they're looking at criminal
I don't know if he's been indicted yet or not.
I have no idea. And so here's what's going on.
This is a quote on truth Social that happened Wednesday morning, yesterday.

(08:32):
Pennsylvania is cheating, getting caught at large scale levels rarely
seen before, and demands an immediate law enforcement intervention. By
the way, foreign operatives are also playing a role in this.
In the Pennsylvania issue, for example, there is a recent footage,

(08:53):
viral footage showing a person destroying mail in ballots, obviously
destroying Trump ballots. That's a given, and that was a
hoax created by Russia. Russia wants to see disruption in
the United States. And so you have a lot of
claims in Pennsylvania circulating on x There's an election integrity

(09:18):
community launched by a pack that was created by Elon Musk,
and it's for people to share suspected fraud. There's one
that's gone crazy Alex Jones, right conspiracy theorists. And there
is a report of a bus of non English speaking
citizens fast tracked to the front of voting lines. In

(09:43):
the meantime, there is no voting at this point other
than mail in. I don't think polls are open in
Pennsylvania yet. Conservative activists Scott Presler shared a video an
official speaking at a public meeting about a batch of

(10:03):
last minute voter applications and here is and those should
be investigated. Well, guess what the district attorney did investigate
and say none of those were fraudulent. The point is,
these allegations are being investigated and the election officials are

(10:24):
doing their job. So here's what's happening. You have Trump
supporters arguing, here's fraud. It should be investigated. This is
the Elon musk, It should be investigated, leaving out that
it was investigated and deemed legitimate. Okay, I don't even
know what to do with that. Now, there was a question,

(10:46):
legitimate question, a complaint about county workers in Bucks County
closing down the line too early, and it raced across
social media, and of course, and it was investigated, and
Buck's officials said it was a miscommunication because people lined
up to apply for on demand mail ballots briefly told

(11:06):
they could not be accommodated because the lines were too long,
and they got all of the votes in. They got
their ballots, and of course the argument is they couldn't
get them, and leave out the fact it was investigated
and they did get them. Now, there's also an investigation

(11:29):
of twenty five hundred possible fraudulent voter resident registration applications
that was submitted to the election board. The workers notified
there were irregularities as in boxes were not checked off.
I am an American citizen and they're checking if those
boxes are not checked off, which are not allowed to

(11:51):
count those votes, and so now there's a question of
was that simply a minor problem where the vote should
be counted? There's a lawsuit going on and are should
they be counted? Should they not be counted? And that
is I think a legitimate lawsuit. But those votes have
those ballots have been segregated while the investigation is going on.

(12:15):
What is going on when there is a legitimate argument.
The cops are investigating, the election officials are investigating. And
at this point, is there any widespread fraud? Absolutely not,
absolutely not. And the one where there's any question, the
investigation starts with the election officials and law enforcement. But

(12:40):
that's widespread fraud. And by the way, what you have
twenty five hundred votes right the ballots that said I
am a US citizen cross it off And there is
some kind of question as to even when they do
cross off. Isn't non American citizens that are claiming that
they are are citizens being investigated? Why is it only

(13:05):
the Democrats do that? No Republicans wouldever lie on a ballot. Ever,
no Republicans should be counted because there are none that
do that. Only Democrats are cheating. It's that crazy, and
the fear is that our election process and doesn't matter

(13:28):
how safe it is, it doesn't matter if Trump loses.
It is rigged. And you're going to see Republicans all
over the country who have lost. They're going to go
forward with that Mantra, governor of Arizona last time out,
who lost to a Democrat. Right, the Democrat, the Republican

(13:50):
candidate rigged election. I should have won. Well, you didn't
have the votes. It doesn't matter. It was rigged why
I lost the election. Oh god, it is so scary.
I hate that. Hate that, hate that. All right, Uh
now I want to move to what's going on with

(14:11):
the Supreme Court. And the reason I'm doing that is
because no, you know what, Yeah, here's what. Yeah, the
Supreme Court. What's going on with the Court? I'm sorry,
I was a little confused about what topic we're going
to do. And let me tell you the numbers. First
of all, we start with the number of Supreme Court justices.

(14:33):
We have nine, by the way, that's not in the constitution.
We get a many as we want. Nine actually was
created in the eighteen sixties. Before that, we bounced around
with numbers and the Supreme Court. Here's what's wrong with it.
It's a lifetime appointment, and it's not supposed to be political.
Because it's a lifetime appointment. These Supreme Court justices should

(14:54):
not be influenced by politics. Going backwards and forwards, I
think those days are still here gone. You tell me
that the three last justices that were appointed by Trump,
which by the way, is totally legitimate, are not politics,
were not involved, and the overturning of Roe was not involved.

(15:16):
Of course it was. Now people and liberals are up
in arms. Oh my god, it's political. It's horrible. It's terrible.
Read the constitution. President nominates, Senate confirms, and if you
have a president of one party and the Senate of
the same party, you have a confirmation. Bitch and moan

(15:36):
all you want, because there were times when the Court
was insanely liberal, when you had Thurgood Marshall, when you
had William O. Douglas. Douglas put on the court, I
mean you talk about First Amendment. I've told this story
many times. There was a case or cases of pornography

(15:59):
and Douglas and they showed those films to the court
to look at what was pornography and what wasn't. They
actually had screenings in front of the Court of Porno.
Douglas wouldn't even go. I don't care. It's all protected
by the First Amendment. Third, Good Marshall, the first black
Supreme Court justice, who was a lead attorney in Brown

(16:21):
versus Board of Education, he would always go because he
just happened to love Porno and he would be running
to the place where they screened those And by the way,
that was that was that came out of the Brethren,
a book that Woodward and Bernstein wrote, which I believe
every word of it because they're the ones that broke

(16:43):
the Watergate case. And so the court is political, and
the problem is that usually the justices are nominated and
confirmed in their fifties. So when a president cident makes
a nomination, when a president nominates and it's confirmed, that

(17:06):
goes on for thirty or thirty five years. The legacy
of Donald Trump is not going to be his presidency.
The legacy is going to be that he put three
justices on the Supreme Court who are insanely conservative. But
that is his right, that is the Constitution. I don't

(17:28):
like those three justices. I'm in favor of Roe v. Wade,
but you know, how much pitching can I do about that?
Is there a way to undo all of that? Yeah?
The argument which makes sense to me. Justices have twelve
year terms. That's it. And then then that space is
re nominated. And if you're going to have a Democrat,

(17:51):
as far as it goes now, you're going to have
a liberal justice. If you're going to have a Republican,
it's going to be a conservative justice. I mean, is
that an answer? Yeah, it is. So the only thing
in the Constitution is we have a Supreme Court nominated
by the President, confirmed by the Senate, and interpret the

(18:16):
law of the land. By the way, that was up
in the air too. Did you know that until eighteen
oh three that established the power Supreme Court case called
Marbury versus Madison. That's just a fact that is completely
useless that I just wanted to throw in there. Asked
me what I had last night for dinner. I don't

(18:37):
have the foggiest notion. Asked me what our last segment was.
I don't know. But you can look up Marbury versus
Madison and you'll see the powers of the Supreme Court delineated. Okay,
here's what companies are doing, and that is they're firing

(19:01):
people for little, tiny infractions. Now, you wouldn't think if
you steal a package of paper clips, for example, can
a company fire you for that? Absolutely, that's cause you
take a credit card. I mean that one's a little ridiculous.
But there's some real stuff happening made up for a meta.

(19:23):
Employees were fired for spending twenty five dollars meal allowances
allowances for their own stuff buying at Kroger. Now you
take an employee and do you fire him for that
as opposed to just writing him or her up? You
bet when you want to get rid of that employee.
Why are they doing that, I'll tell you why. They

(19:44):
can lay off that employee unless there's a contract, or
unless there's some policy, you can be laid off. But
that means that there's some financial issues going on with
the company. And all of a sudden, you have the market,
you have customers looking at there's something wrong here, or

(20:05):
business goes down, or because of the pandemic, there was
that incredible rush afterwards to hire everybody, and all of
a sudden, we got too many people here. So do
you fire them? No? Yes? Do you lay them off? No? No?
You fire them for cause, because that is legitimate, that
has nothing to do with how good your business is

(20:26):
doing or not. And that way you get unwanted in employees.
And by the way, when they file for they file
for unemployment, firing for cause they don't collect unemployment. What
is cause, well, stealing paper clips, maybe that's cause because
you've stolen from the company or meta for example, taking

(20:47):
your twenty five dollars meal allowance and spending it for
stuff other than meals. There is a company that is
a real interesting company called payhowk and Payhawk. What it
does is pay attention to companies who hire them and

(21:08):
for example, credit cards for lunch. If they go over
a certain limit, immediately they're declined and the company is
told and in real time they can say no in
the company. They don't have to walk, They don't even
have to worry till at the end of the month
when the report is made. It happens right now. So
and this is happening more and more and more for small, tiny,

(21:34):
little infractions, because it makes sense. It's not the infraction
per se, it's all the financial reasons reasons around it.
So here at iHeart, I don't know of anybody who's
been fired for stealing. There may be, and it depends,
obviously on the level of stealing. I will tell you
that when I took pencils and pens and paper clips,

(21:59):
no one boy bothered me. When I set up my
office my home studio, and I walked out the door
with microphones, equipment, speakers, computers, no one bothered me. Uh
but that's iHeart good place to work. They're not going
to screw with you. Neil you ever come on, I've

(22:22):
seen you walk out with monitors and no one cares. Yeah, right, yeah,
I mean I'm looking at my microphone right now. You
know how they engrave. You know the name of the company.
You know there it is iHeartMedia right there on the microphone.
I didn't get fired. The point I'm making, obviously, is

(22:46):
it makes a whole lot of sense for a company
that wants to get rid of someone, a company that
wants to contract employees, and the best way to do it,
as far as the company is concerned, is to not
lay them off, fire them for cause on stealing and
stealing can be any number of things. Meals at the office.

(23:08):
If you're working late and all of a sudden you're
spending too much, or you're taking the meal later on
after you go home. And also there's a real effect
on the company's remaining employees, and they're looking at a
coworker being fired for spending thirty five dollars instead of

(23:31):
twenty five dollars. And one of one person who was
fired described it this way. It's like you're driving down
a street every day with a thirty mile per hour
speed limit and no one bothers you, and you're driving
thirty seven forty miles an hour regularly and nobody cares,

(23:53):
and all of a sudden, one day you're pulled over
and you get a ticket, and the cops all of
us sudden, are nailing you for But you didn't bother
me yesterday. You've seen me go across here the entire year. Well,
you know, in the case of the cops, we have
to make our quota and you happen to be there

(24:16):
by the way. The police will say there's never a quota.
You know that, don't you. They say that doesn't exist.
And do I believe the police, you know, I'm so
pro cop, not a chance. I think there are quota
systems up and down, the system up and down. The
police hierarchy. All right, guys, we're done with that, all right.

(24:37):
I just wanted to throw that at you, because paper
clips don't steal them around here. By the way, Neil,
you were in management here for a while. Okay, what
was the policy was there if you take paper clips
or pencils or whatever sort of You know, I understand
if you steal there's obviously you can be fi eric

(25:00):
for cause. But how much did they enforce it while
you were in management? How much did you enforce it?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I don't recall a whole lot of thievery. I think
probably around the pandemic, some toilet paper went missing.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, okay, by the way, but good point.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
I don't remember, you know, any any cases were large
enough to to react to.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
