Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
You remember bad Dad Bob, the spokesperson for Saddam Hussein.
He had a press conference on the roof telling the
cameras that Iraq has successfully defended itself and no tanks
are allowed in. The camera pans over to the street
and there are hundreds of American tanks rolling down the street.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Good morning everybody, Handle and the morning crew.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It is a Wednesday, Honday, June twenty five, and as
Amy said, this morning six months till Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
And so there you go, by the way, where is
Amy on the zoom? And where is Will?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
And is taking care of AND's taking care of me?
Speaker 5 (01:09):
And Will is going to be incognito today.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Which means what that he's.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
You're not going to see him.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That's a technical issue.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
He's probably wearing a shirt that you're going to make
fun of me. Don't want to.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm gonna doesn't matter what he wears. I make fun
of him, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
You know what was it? Neil?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Neil and I were talking about which a story I'm
going to do tomorrow B two bombers, the B two,
the B two plane, right, the bomber and the pilots,
and I'll do this tomorrow. It's a thirty forty hour flight.
Two guys that are flying with this little crap be
(02:01):
pun intended, little chemical toilet, this little tiny thing that
they use, and a cot behind the seats, and the
doctors prescribe amphetamine amphetamines to these guys. It's crazy how
(02:21):
they fly and they take little cat naps and it's boy,
you don't want to be a B two bomber. And
then Neil said, were you jealous about the amphetamines, Like, no,
I'm not jealous. I've never done amphetamines. Now if it
were cocaine, that would be different. Yeah, but that could
be jealous.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
You would just like you you take your amphetamines or
you do your cocaine or whatever, and then you just
have to sit there.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, that would start there.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, and you have well someone has to be awake
the whole time, and you put it on autopilot, so
there really is nothing to be there. The last part
of it is twenty minutes where you where the plane
is going in and then you have the eighteen hour
trip back to Missouri where the planes are based.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I think in Nellys. No, I forgot the name of
the base, but in any.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Case, Yeah. Then Neil said, are you jealous? And I
said no, And he said if phetamines, you know, would
that make you? Is it possible that would make you
even crazier and more absurd? I go, I'm always absurd
and crazy. I'm absurd and crazy under anesthesia, So it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Okay, if it made you loud and obnoxious, yeah, either way, Joe,
playing on the fact that you are always loud obnoxious.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
That's true. Oh, talking about being loud and obnoxious real quickly. Well,
first of all, let me say.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Hello Amy, good morning, Hi cono Neil, and will are
you there? Since I can't see you, I am here.
Good morning Bill, Okay, good morning. Now loud and obnoxious.
That segues right into ask handle anything on Friday, of
(04:06):
which you out there in radio land, the listeners, you're
part of this, you're all of it, actually, and you
record questions and it doesn't matter what the question, and
I answer them personal questions and they're all used a
lot of fun. So during the course of the show,
if you're interested in asking a hand, ask handle anything.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
During the course of the show.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You go to the iHeartRadio app, click on the Bill
Handle show and then click on the microphone in the
upright hand corner, and then just record the question. And
if they're good, we play them. If they're bad, we
play them. If you can't be understood, we play them.
If you're in a facility in a straight jacket and
(04:49):
somehow we're able to still call, we play them. If
you are a quadruple amputee and simply a torso with
a head, play them. Okay, are you guys ready for
a handle on the news?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Ready?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Santa?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Amy, Neil and Me lead story. All kinds of controversy
about the strike against the Iran nuclear facilities. The President said,
complete obliteration. And now we have the report, initial report
assessment coming out from the Pentagon saying nah, Now, if
(05:33):
the Iran program has in fact been delayed, it's just
a matter of months. So we're going back and forth
as to which one. Also, it was leaked and the
President is saying the assessment is wrong. I don't believe it,
and so it's.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We probably will never know.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
The Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Pardon it was leaked out of the Pentagon.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
And we've got big problems.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh yeah, well that you have an administration that doesn't
believe the intelligence, doesn't trust American intelligence. Remember when he said,
I believe Putin and not our own intelligence forces. So
if someone disagrees, it's fake news. So we'll see, we'll see.
(06:16):
I don't think they're going to continue on and really build.
Maybe they will, but Israel, many is mainly Israel. Israel
said you are not going to have a bomb. It
just won't happen. Presidents said the same thing. And I
do believe he will be part of the Israeli attack
if they come close to a bomb.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Again.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Now, does Israel come, does iron come to the table?
That we don't know?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Well, Iran's parliament just pass something to fast track, like
a resolution that said no, we're not going to cooperate
with the IAEA anymore, which is that nuclear watchdog group.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I mean, they're a dead set in terms of building
their bomb, which I don't understand why that's more important
than the country moving forward economically and socially.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
The economy of Iran is devastated.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
The sanctions are killing Iran the value of the Iranian
currency is five percent of what it was a few
years ago, even a couple of years ago. It's in
a free fall the economy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But it's more important.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
They can't move forward until they have the bomb and
can be yes.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But what do they do? What do they do when
they have the bomb, and even then, what do they do?
It's real simple. Israel says, you use the bomb you got,
Tehran disappears. Matter of fact, all of Iran disappears. However,
one bomb in Tel Aviv and that destroys Israel.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So it's a god awful mess. Okay, continuing on, this.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Guy, as Bill would say, is completely dead.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
A guy from Washington State who's facing terrorism charges related
to the bombing of that for utility clinic in Palm Springs.
He died in a federal detention facility at the Metropolitan
Detention Center in la. It happened on Tuesday morning. Apparently
they tried to do life saving measures, didn't work, but
(08:15):
they have not released the cause of death at this point.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
The guy's name was Daniel Park.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
He was in federal custody since his arrest at JFK
in New York this month. Remember, he was charged with
providing and attempting to provide material support to a terrorist
in the form of hundreds of pounds of ammonium nitrates.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, he went to I think, where do you go?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
He went to Europe and was picked up and extradited
back to the United States. You have to thank him,
by the way, this is a good guy in that
he killed himself probably and he saved the federal government
and a taxpayer a crapload of money in terms of
trying him. So you gotta you gotta thank him at
(09:02):
least for that, don't you.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
We should make that an option in all big cases.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We should. Right, here's a belt.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
You want, you want some string? The battle of the
hairdoes Newsom versus Trump? Trump administration must turn over a
cash of documents, internal reports, photos, any evidence detailing the
activities of the military in southern California. This comes from
(09:29):
a federal judge ruling yesterday. Uh, this is a procedural victory,
I guess to come.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
No, it is after you know, rulings that have a
string of rulings from the US Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals that have been coming down and gone the way.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
This is the same judge that put an injunction on
the administration saying you cannot use federal troops to enforce
immigration policy in southern California. The administration appeal that the
appeals court said, yes, you can overturned it, and now
(10:09):
the judge is saying, you've got to turn over all
the documents, photos, internal reports detailing the activities of the military.
And of course you know, the appeals are hitting big time.
By the way you talk about the battle of the hairdos,
you and I will never have a battle of the hairdos.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
You know that which horseshoe is better?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
You can't have a battle of the hairdoos.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
That's the point.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, that is exactly the point. Although I think Neil
would win because I leave just a little tiny amount
of hair, and Neil I would win on more hair.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Do you like have a Charlie Brown wisp or something
I do?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Actually I do.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Partss are Homer Simpson.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
No evictions for immigrants.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Community groups are saying too many families are living in
fear because of the immigration raids across southern California, So
they're calling on the city council to pass emergency protections
for people impacted.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Including an eviction moratorium.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
The unions that are calling for this say that renters
make up more than sixty percent of residents in LA
and a lot of them are facing fear of deportation.
Families might not be able to cover rent if a
family members taken into ice custody, or they might be
able to pay rent because family members are staying home
and not going to work because they're afraid.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, Dan Ugilson, who used to be at KFI, by
the way, he used to be controller here a million
years ago when Cox owned it, and he runs the
Apartment Owner Association of Greater LA or he does the
pr for them. He says, here's the problem. You've got
most of the people, over eighty percent of those apartments
are owned by mom and poppers who rely on that
(12:05):
rent to pay their bills. I mean, this is a
double edged sword. Someone has to lose on this one,
and it's one or the other.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Orange County's top prosecutor that Bill knows quite well. Just
Attorney Todd Spitzer said he's dissolving the California injunctions, or
the Orange County injunctions rather gang injunctions. If you remember,
they go back to like two thousand and six or something,
and this means that there's thirteen gangs or so that
(12:40):
aren't allowed to be when they're in certain areas. They
can't wear their colors, they can't wear gang clothing, things
like that. And he says that it served its purpose
and he's seeking the does ilus solution of any solution? Yeah, yeah,
at this point and moving on.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, in the meantime, there was a twenty twenty two
Assembly bill that seriously reduced the definition of who was
a gang member and the association. And now Todd has
come back and said, oh, okay, oh, by the way,
I'm going to go to I'm going to have dinner
at a very conservative Republican organization. My goddaughter is very involved,
(13:25):
and she and my invited me to dinner at this
gala gala which is hugely conservative. And I once spoke
in front of them. I actually got booed. I actually
got booed in the room.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
It's not normal.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
No, it was a lot of fun. In the meantime,
guess who I'm sitting next to, Todd Spitzer.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Well, that should be fun.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It is always fun. Todd and I always get into it. Okay,
one more before we take our bail our bail before
we take our news, say I'm thinking of bail all right?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Moving on, The former governor of the State of New York,
Andrew Cuomo, will not be the next mayor of the
City of New York.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Zorn Mom Donnie.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Is a thirty three year old state assemblyman and Democratic Socialist.
He won the Democratic the primary election yesterday, so he's
going to be in the running. He didn't get fifty
percent of the vote, so there's going to be another election.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, he's got it.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, who's up against him?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Eric Adam, Yeah, who's the cow? Yeah? Is an independent? Yeah,
who's in a vote for him?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But Chris Flywa Slee Wah is the Republican And.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There's a piece of work too. This thirty three year
old is an out and out socialist and he's the
first Muslim that would be the mayor of the New
York City And the Democratic nomination usually wins it because
it's a very democratic city.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Isn't he a defund the NYPD guy?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah? Oh, this guy is so left wing it's scary.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
He wants rent freezes, he wants to make city buses free,
he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. He wants
city owned grocery stores.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And he wants free pizzas every Friday, like I offered
when I ran for fourth grade president.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I could get on board with that.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
See there you go. That's how you win in elementary school.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
All right, state run grocery stores.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Just it's all crazy, and he may win. And by
the way, I think he's going to win. This is
gonna be great, great fun.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
All right. Trump is grounding everybody. He says that just
yesterday told Senate Republicans to lock themselves in a room
if necessary, to work out their differences and pass the
megabill that will fund his second term agenda. He said,
get the deal done this week. No one goes on
(15:57):
vacation until it's done.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Has no jurisdiction to say that, but Mike Johnson is
will do anything, he said. Trump also said that for
anybody who does not stay there and vote for the
bill is going to, under a directive from the President,
take the cinnamon challenge, and Mike Johnson has immediately ordered
(16:22):
all the cinnamon in Washington, DC.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You gotta try new techniques. I guess you certainly do.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Got some familiar names here. President Trump has announced appointments
to an advisory council inside the Department of Homeland Security.
The list includes Mark Levin, who's a Fox.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Guy, very very conservative, yep.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Very conservative, former attorney, former mayor of New York City,
Rudy Giuliani of course. Uh, Corey Lewandowski, who was I
believe he was. He was the first press guy for
like Trump's first guys, right, who is a campaign leader
in twenty sixteen. He kind of got fired, didn't he.
(17:11):
Other members of the council include South Carolina Governor Henrymaster
is going to be the chair, other government officials, attorney,
security experts, and founders of Bikers for Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Okay, by the way, thank goodness that Charles Manson is dead.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's this is kind of insane.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
None of these have any expert expertise in security, homeland security,
but it's all political. Now once again, if you are
on his side, you actually you can't even commit a crime,
even overrunning the Capitol.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You're a patriot. And if you're not, you are a
trader and.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
The investigation starts. I mean, it's pretty crazy, it really is.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I mean, this is kind of nuts, guies.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Yeah, speaking of zero expertise, let's go to RFK Junior.
Shall we professional medical societies, pharmacists, state health officials, and
even vaccine manufacturers have put together or stepped in together
along with a new advocacy group that are mobilizing. They're
(18:19):
really kind of behind the scenes looking around and going,
we got to preserve access for vaccines and health because
the Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, is working to
kind of upend the nation's decades and decades and decades
old vaccine systems. So they are trying to put together
(18:40):
actual scientists to help preserve the ability to obtain and
have a process of getting vaccines.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah. Now, in the meantime, you've got the seventeen member.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Committee that was advised the government and insurance companies followed
their advice in terms of vaccines, they've all been fired
and replaced with some vaccine deniers, anti vax folks. And
Robert Kennedy has said before that there was no double
(19:16):
blind study for vaccines and every single one of them.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Has not been tested correctly and therefore may not have.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Efficacy, including polio by the way, because it was never
double there was never a double blind study. Would you
say at this point though that, thank you, it has
not had a double blind study, he says, a double
blind study peer reviewed. That's true, even though polio has
been vaccine has been around since what nineteen fifty three,
(19:46):
nineteen fifty four. And oh, by the way, Bill Cassidy,
who was the deciding vote to put RFK into that position,
I'm sure is kicking himself in the ass on this one.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I mean, come on again, this is all insanity.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I mean, just RFK has no expertise in terms of
running the department none. He's an anti vaxxer, clearly, and
he's a supporter of President Trump, which seems to be
the only way. As I've mentioned, you know, my favorite
(20:27):
story is about Abraham Lincoln, who for many reasons considered
the greatest president we ever had.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
He put on his cabinet people who hated.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Him, who opposed him, who went public saying he was
a gorilla. Edwin Stanton, specifically Secretary of War, who came
to idolize him.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
It's just a different it's a different world.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I mean, granted, you know this goes a while ago,
back to the Civil War, but there have been plenty
of presidents who have put cabinet members on who actually
were against them as president or were against their policies.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, you think that's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's just you know, this morning I'm doing this is insane.
This is insane stories. But you know, it's kind of
hard to argue.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Sing it with me. That's what a lawsuit's all about. Okay.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
In and Out is suing a YouTuber because he did
a prank at several of its restaurants last week. In
and Out filed a lawsuit against Brian Arnett, who posed
as a In and Out employee at several of its
restaurants around southern California, took orders from customers, and then
(21:48):
also made some kind of nasty comments while wearing In
and Out branded clothing, like he said that In and
Out had cockroaches and condoms in its food, and also
said that In and Out associates put their feet in
lettuce that served customers. The lawsuit also accuses the YouTuber
of asking customers if they want their food made doggie style,
(22:11):
a little bit of a play on the restaurant famous
animal style menu option, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
No, these are really good, only serving gay people, and
asking a customer if the customer would like to sleep
with his wife and allow him to watch.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
This is pretty good stuff, isn't it? Wow?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And they're upset in and out is upset? Come on, guys,
can't you take a joke?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
All right. Santa Anna Unified School District has suspended all
summer field trips third consecutive week. This all has to
deal with the ongoing federal immigration raids in the area.
And they made it very clearly said, hey, please note,
no schools or school programs or district affiliated activities have
been targeted by federal agents. There's just and they don't
(23:03):
expect them to be. There's just a lot going on distractions,
and obviously concern there in the district.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Is the school district's actually fearful of ice agents getting
on a school bus and handcuffing the kids.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
No, they seem to make that very clear, that's not
their concern. They just think it's in the best interest
of their students to keep summer activities on campus just
for now.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
We're a bunch of busy bees in California.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Last year, California's seventeen million workers created productivity growth of
three point nine percent That puts us at the sixth
best most productive workers in the country, nearly double the
median growth, which is at two percent for all of
the states. The workplace efficiencies tied two thousand and eight
(23:53):
for its third biggest productivity yearly jump in the seventeen
year history of the statistics. So who's better than the
than California? Indiana ranked number one, Rhode Island was second,
Washington State in third, New Hampshire fourth, and Maine in fifth.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, So what's another way to define this great productivity?
It's asking employers employees to do more with fewer employees.
You are now we're letting go of someone and you
are going to do more work for the same.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Money, And that increases productivity, doesn't.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
It makes the numbers look better, doesn't It.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Sure does, doesn't it?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
All Right, Diddy is not going to take the stand
in his own defense, So it looks like maybe closing
arguments are set for Thursday. A lot of people from
male escorts, law enforcement agents, hotel stuff, staphors, former assistants
and girlfriends and all kinds of witnesses, but he's not
(24:58):
taking the stand.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, for them, this is a very interesting defense.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
No witnesses thirty minutes and I think they're going to
do and I think the consensus is they're going to
argue during closing arguments is going to be their entire defense,
and the main argument is this was all consensual and
to prove it after these alleged rapes and freak outs
(25:25):
or whatever we call them, there were the techs I
still love you and continued on with relationships for two
years after the alleged rape and there. So the defense
is thinking there's enough doubt there without calling any witnesses,
just attacking and the premise is this was all consensual
(25:46):
and we'll see there are some defense attorneys says, yeah,
there may be some reasonable doubt there, and what do
you do with that hung jury acquittal because the jury
thinks it was consensual, although that kicking of his girlfriend
in the hotel room and that lobby that is proplesing
(26:10):
to give you.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Enough to say that it was based on duress and fear.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Or it was racketeering. Remember there.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Uh they're going after Combs for racketeering and conspiracy Uh
to transfer uh these women across state lines for the
purposes of sex. You know, we're going to see it's
at first I thought this was just a dead bang
winner for the prosecution. Now I don't know all right,
(26:41):
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You've been listening to The Bill Handle Show.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Which means what that he's.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
You're not going to see him.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That's a technical issue.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
He's probably wearing a shirt that you're going to make
fun of me. Don't want to.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm gonna doesn't matter what he wears. I make fun
of him, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
You know what was it? Neil?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Neil and I were talking about which a story I'm
going to do tomorrow B two bombers, the B two,
the B two plane, right, the bomber and the pilots,
and I'll do this tomorrow. It's a thirty forty hour flight.
Two guys that are flying with this little crap be
(02:01):
pun intended, little chemical toilet, this little tiny thing that
they use, and a cot behind the seats, and the
doctors prescribe amphetamine amphetamines to these guys. It's crazy how
(02:21):
they fly and they take little cat naps and it's boy,
you don't want to be a B two bomber. And
then Neil said, were you jealous about the amphetamines, Like, no,
I'm not jealous. I've never done amphetamines. Now if it
were cocaine, that would be different. Yeah, but that could
be jealous.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
You would just like you you take your amphetamines or
you do your cocaine or whatever, and then you just
have to sit there.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, that would start there.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, and you have well someone has to be awake
the whole time, and you put it on autopilot, so
there really is nothing to be there. The last part
of it is twenty minutes where you where the plane
is going in and then you have the eighteen hour
trip back to Missouri where the planes are based.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I think in Nellys. No, I forgot the name of
the base, but in any.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Case, Yeah. Then Neil said, are you jealous? And I
said no, And he said if phetamines, you know, would
that make you? Is it possible that would make you
even crazier and more absurd? I go, I'm always absurd
and crazy. I'm absurd and crazy under anesthesia, So it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Okay, if it made you loud and obnoxious, yeah, either way, Joe,
playing on the fact that you are always loud obnoxious.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
That's true. Oh, talking about being loud and obnoxious real quickly. Well,
first of all, let me say.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Hello Amy, good morning, Hi cono Neil, and will are
you there? Since I can't see you, I am here.
Good morning Bill, Okay, good morning. Now loud and obnoxious.
That segues right into ask handle anything on Friday, of
(04:06):
which you out there in radio land, the listeners, you're
part of this, you're all of it, actually, and you
record questions and it doesn't matter what the question, and
I answer them personal questions and they're all used a
lot of fun. So during the course of the show,
if you're interested in asking a hand, ask handle anything.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
During the course of the show.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You go to the iHeartRadio app, click on the Bill
Handle show and then click on the microphone in the
upright hand corner, and then just record the question. And
if they're good, we play them. If they're bad, we
play them. If you can't be understood, we play them.
If you're in a facility in a straight jacket and
(04:49):
somehow we're able to still call, we play them. If
you are a quadruple amputee and simply a torso with
a head, play them. Okay, are you guys ready for
a handle on the news?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Ready?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Santa?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Amy, Neil and Me lead story. All kinds of controversy
about the strike against the Iran nuclear facilities. The President said,
complete obliteration. And now we have the report, initial report
assessment coming out from the Pentagon saying nah, Now, if
(05:33):
the Iran program has in fact been delayed, it's just
a matter of months. So we're going back and forth
as to which one. Also, it was leaked and the
President is saying the assessment is wrong. I don't believe it,
and so it's.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We probably will never know.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
The Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Pardon it was leaked out of the Pentagon.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
And we've got big problems.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh yeah, well that you have an administration that doesn't
believe the intelligence, doesn't trust American intelligence. Remember when he said,
I believe Putin and not our own intelligence forces. So
if someone disagrees, it's fake news. So we'll see, we'll see.
(06:16):
I don't think they're going to continue on and really build.
Maybe they will, but Israel, many is mainly Israel. Israel
said you are not going to have a bomb. It
just won't happen. Presidents said the same thing. And I
do believe he will be part of the Israeli attack
if they come close to a bomb.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Again.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Now, does Israel come, does iron come to the table?
That we don't know?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Well, Iran's parliament just pass something to fast track, like
a resolution that said no, we're not going to cooperate
with the IAEA anymore, which is that nuclear watchdog group.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I mean, they're a dead set in terms of building
their bomb, which I don't understand why that's more important
than the country moving forward economically and socially.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
The economy of Iran is devastated.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
The sanctions are killing Iran the value of the Iranian
currency is five percent of what it was a few
years ago, even a couple of years ago. It's in
a free fall the economy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But it's more important.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
They can't move forward until they have the bomb and
can be yes.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But what do they do? What do they do when
they have the bomb, and even then, what do they do?
It's real simple. Israel says, you use the bomb you got,
Tehran disappears. Matter of fact, all of Iran disappears. However,
one bomb in Tel Aviv and that destroys Israel.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So it's a god awful mess. Okay, continuing on, this.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Guy, as Bill would say, is completely dead.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
A guy from Washington State who's facing terrorism charges related
to the bombing of that for utility clinic in Palm Springs.
He died in a federal detention facility at the Metropolitan
Detention Center in la. It happened on Tuesday morning. Apparently
they tried to do life saving measures, didn't work, but
(08:15):
they have not released the cause of death at this point.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
The guy's name was Daniel Park.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
He was in federal custody since his arrest at JFK
in New York this month. Remember, he was charged with
providing and attempting to provide material support to a terrorist
in the form of hundreds of pounds of ammonium nitrates.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, he went to I think, where do you go?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
He went to Europe and was picked up and extradited
back to the United States. You have to thank him,
by the way, this is a good guy in that
he killed himself probably and he saved the federal government
and a taxpayer a crapload of money in terms of
trying him. So you gotta you gotta thank him at
(09:02):
least for that, don't you.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
We should make that an option in all big cases.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We should. Right, here's a belt.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
You want, you want some string? The battle of the
hairdoes Newsom versus Trump? Trump administration must turn over a
cash of documents, internal reports, photos, any evidence detailing the
activities of the military in southern California. This comes from
(09:29):
a federal judge ruling yesterday. Uh, this is a procedural victory,
I guess to come.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
No, it is after you know, rulings that have a
string of rulings from the US Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals that have been coming down and gone the way.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
This is the same judge that put an injunction on
the administration saying you cannot use federal troops to enforce
immigration policy in southern California. The administration appeal that the
appeals court said, yes, you can overturned it, and now
(10:09):
the judge is saying, you've got to turn over all
the documents, photos, internal reports detailing the activities of the military.
And of course you know, the appeals are hitting big time.
By the way you talk about the battle of the hairdos,
you and I will never have a battle of the hairdos.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
You know that which horseshoe is better?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
You can't have a battle of the hairdoos.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
That's the point.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, that is exactly the point. Although I think Neil
would win because I leave just a little tiny amount
of hair, and Neil I would win on more hair.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Do you like have a Charlie Brown wisp or something
I do?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Actually I do.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Partss are Homer Simpson.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
No evictions for immigrants.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Community groups are saying too many families are living in
fear because of the immigration raids across southern California, So
they're calling on the city council to pass emergency protections
for people impacted.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Including an eviction moratorium.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
The unions that are calling for this say that renters
make up more than sixty percent of residents in LA
and a lot of them are facing fear of deportation.
Families might not be able to cover rent if a
family members taken into ice custody, or they might be
able to pay rent because family members are staying home
and not going to work because they're afraid.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, Dan Ugilson, who used to be at KFI, by
the way, he used to be controller here a million
years ago when Cox owned it, and he runs the
Apartment Owner Association of Greater LA or he does the
pr for them. He says, here's the problem. You've got
most of the people, over eighty percent of those apartments
are owned by mom and poppers who rely on that
(12:05):
rent to pay their bills. I mean, this is a
double edged sword. Someone has to lose on this one,
and it's one or the other.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Orange County's top prosecutor that Bill knows quite well. Just
Attorney Todd Spitzer said he's dissolving the California injunctions, or
the Orange County injunctions rather gang injunctions. If you remember,
they go back to like two thousand and six or something,
and this means that there's thirteen gangs or so that
(12:40):
aren't allowed to be when they're in certain areas. They
can't wear their colors, they can't wear gang clothing, things
like that. And he says that it served its purpose
and he's seeking the does ilus solution of any solution? Yeah, yeah,
at this point and moving on.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, in the meantime, there was a twenty twenty two
Assembly bill that seriously reduced the definition of who was
a gang member and the association. And now Todd has
come back and said, oh, okay, oh, by the way,
I'm going to go to I'm going to have dinner
at a very conservative Republican organization. My goddaughter is very involved,
(13:25):
and she and my invited me to dinner at this
gala gala which is hugely conservative. And I once spoke
in front of them. I actually got booed. I actually
got booed in the room.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
It's not normal.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
No, it was a lot of fun. In the meantime,
guess who I'm sitting next to, Todd Spitzer.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Well, that should be fun.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It is always fun. Todd and I always get into it. Okay,
one more before we take our bail our bail before
we take our news, say I'm thinking of bail all right?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Moving on, The former governor of the State of New York,
Andrew Cuomo, will not be the next mayor of the
City of New York.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Zorn Mom Donnie.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Is a thirty three year old state assemblyman and Democratic Socialist.
He won the Democratic the primary election yesterday, so he's
going to be in the running. He didn't get fifty
percent of the vote, so there's going to be another election.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, he's got it.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, who's up against him?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Eric Adam, Yeah, who's the cow? Yeah? Is an independent? Yeah,
who's in a vote for him?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But Chris Flywa Slee Wah is the Republican And.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There's a piece of work too. This thirty three year
old is an out and out socialist and he's the
first Muslim that would be the mayor of the New
York City And the Democratic nomination usually wins it because
it's a very democratic city.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Isn't he a defund the NYPD guy?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah? Oh, this guy is so left wing it's scary.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
He wants rent freezes, he wants to make city buses free,
he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. He wants
city owned grocery stores.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And he wants free pizzas every Friday, like I offered
when I ran for fourth grade president.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I could get on board with that.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
See there you go. That's how you win in elementary school.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
All right, state run grocery stores.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Just it's all crazy, and he may win. And by
the way, I think he's going to win. This is
gonna be great, great fun.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
All right. Trump is grounding everybody. He says that just
yesterday told Senate Republicans to lock themselves in a room
if necessary, to work out their differences and pass the
megabill that will fund his second term agenda. He said,
get the deal done this week. No one goes on
(15:57):
vacation until it's done.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Has no jurisdiction to say that, but Mike Johnson is
will do anything, he said. Trump also said that for
anybody who does not stay there and vote for the
bill is going to, under a directive from the President,
take the cinnamon challenge, and Mike Johnson has immediately ordered
(16:22):
all the cinnamon in Washington, DC.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You gotta try new techniques. I guess you certainly do.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Got some familiar names here. President Trump has announced appointments
to an advisory council inside the Department of Homeland Security.
The list includes Mark Levin, who's a Fox.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Guy, very very conservative, yep.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Very conservative, former attorney, former mayor of New York City,
Rudy Giuliani of course. Uh, Corey Lewandowski, who was I
believe he was. He was the first press guy for
like Trump's first guys, right, who is a campaign leader
in twenty sixteen. He kind of got fired, didn't he.
(17:11):
Other members of the council include South Carolina Governor Henrymaster
is going to be the chair, other government officials, attorney,
security experts, and founders of Bikers for Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Okay, by the way, thank goodness that Charles Manson is dead.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's this is kind of insane.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
None of these have any expert expertise in security, homeland security,
but it's all political. Now once again, if you are
on his side, you actually you can't even commit a crime,
even overrunning the Capitol.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You're a patriot. And if you're not, you are a
trader and.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
The investigation starts. I mean, it's pretty crazy, it really is.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I mean, this is kind of nuts, guies.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Yeah, speaking of zero expertise, let's go to RFK Junior.
Shall we professional medical societies, pharmacists, state health officials, and
even vaccine manufacturers have put together or stepped in together
along with a new advocacy group that are mobilizing. They're
(18:19):
really kind of behind the scenes looking around and going,
we got to preserve access for vaccines and health because
the Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, is working to
kind of upend the nation's decades and decades and decades
old vaccine systems. So they are trying to put together
(18:40):
actual scientists to help preserve the ability to obtain and
have a process of getting vaccines.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah. Now, in the meantime, you've got the seventeen member.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Committee that was advised the government and insurance companies followed
their advice in terms of vaccines, they've all been fired
and replaced with some vaccine deniers, anti vax folks. And
Robert Kennedy has said before that there was no double
(19:16):
blind study for vaccines and every single one of them.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Has not been tested correctly and therefore may not have.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Efficacy, including polio by the way, because it was never
double there was never a double blind study. Would you
say at this point though that, thank you, it has
not had a double blind study, he says, a double
blind study peer reviewed. That's true, even though polio has
been vaccine has been around since what nineteen fifty three,
(19:46):
nineteen fifty four. And oh, by the way, Bill Cassidy,
who was the deciding vote to put RFK into that position,
I'm sure is kicking himself in the ass on this one.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I mean, come on again, this is all insanity.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I mean, just RFK has no expertise in terms of
running the department none. He's an anti vaxxer, clearly, and
he's a supporter of President Trump, which seems to be
the only way. As I've mentioned, you know, my favorite
(20:27):
story is about Abraham Lincoln, who for many reasons considered
the greatest president we ever had.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
He put on his cabinet people who hated.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Him, who opposed him, who went public saying he was
a gorilla. Edwin Stanton, specifically Secretary of War, who came
to idolize him.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
It's just a different it's a different world.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I mean, granted, you know this goes a while ago,
back to the Civil War, but there have been plenty
of presidents who have put cabinet members on who actually
were against them as president or were against their policies.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, you think that's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's just you know, this morning I'm doing this is insane.
This is insane stories. But you know, it's kind of
hard to argue.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Sing it with me. That's what a lawsuit's all about. Okay.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
In and Out is suing a YouTuber because he did
a prank at several of its restaurants last week. In
and Out filed a lawsuit against Brian Arnett, who posed
as a In and Out employee at several of its
restaurants around southern California, took orders from customers, and then
(21:48):
also made some kind of nasty comments while wearing In
and Out branded clothing, like he said that In and
Out had cockroaches and condoms in its food, and also
said that In and Out associates put their feet in
lettuce that served customers. The lawsuit also accuses the YouTuber
of asking customers if they want their food made doggie style,
(22:11):
a little bit of a play on the restaurant famous
animal style menu option, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
No, these are really good, only serving gay people, and
asking a customer if the customer would like to sleep
with his wife and allow him to watch.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
This is pretty good stuff, isn't it? Wow?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And they're upset in and out is upset? Come on, guys,
can't you take a joke?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
All right. Santa Anna Unified School District has suspended all
summer field trips third consecutive week. This all has to
deal with the ongoing federal immigration raids in the area.
And they made it very clearly said, hey, please note,
no schools or school programs or district affiliated activities have
been targeted by federal agents. There's just and they don't
(23:03):
expect them to be. There's just a lot going on distractions,
and obviously concern there in the district.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Is the school district's actually fearful of ice agents getting
on a school bus and handcuffing the kids.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
No, they seem to make that very clear, that's not
their concern. They just think it's in the best interest
of their students to keep summer activities on campus just
for now.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
We're a bunch of busy bees in California.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Last year, California's seventeen million workers created productivity growth of
three point nine percent That puts us at the sixth
best most productive workers in the country, nearly double the
median growth, which is at two percent for all of
the states. The workplace efficiencies tied two thousand and eight
(23:53):
for its third biggest productivity yearly jump in the seventeen
year history of the statistics. So who's better than the
than California? Indiana ranked number one, Rhode Island was second,
Washington State in third, New Hampshire fourth, and Maine in fifth.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, So what's another way to define this great productivity?
It's asking employers employees to do more with fewer employees.
You are now we're letting go of someone and you
are going to do more work for the same.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Money, And that increases productivity, doesn't.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
It makes the numbers look better, doesn't It.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Sure does, doesn't it?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
All Right, Diddy is not going to take the stand
in his own defense, So it looks like maybe closing
arguments are set for Thursday. A lot of people from
male escorts, law enforcement agents, hotel stuff, staphors, former assistants
and girlfriends and all kinds of witnesses, but he's not
(24:58):
taking the stand.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, for them, this is a very interesting defense.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
No witnesses thirty minutes and I think they're going to
do and I think the consensus is they're going to
argue during closing arguments is going to be their entire defense,
and the main argument is this was all consensual and
to prove it after these alleged rapes and freak outs
(25:25):
or whatever we call them, there were the techs I
still love you and continued on with relationships for two
years after the alleged rape and there. So the defense
is thinking there's enough doubt there without calling any witnesses,
just attacking and the premise is this was all consensual
(25:46):
and we'll see there are some defense attorneys says, yeah,
there may be some reasonable doubt there, and what do
you do with that hung jury acquittal because the jury
thinks it was consensual, although that kicking of his girlfriend
in the hotel room and that lobby that is proplesing
(26:10):
to give you.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Enough to say that it was based on duress and fear.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Or it was racketeering. Remember there.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Uh they're going after Combs for racketeering and conspiracy Uh
to transfer uh these women across state lines for the
purposes of sex. You know, we're going to see it's
at first I thought this was just a dead bang
winner for the prosecution. Now I don't know all right,
