a practicing lawyer, and he won a Tony. He was
the first lead in Lema's rob when it opened, and
(03:22):

Hope to see their tickets are cheap twenty bucks. It
starts with and this is the orchestra it so it
doesn't matter where you see it, although all the seats
(04:29):
are great at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. All right, guys,
let's do it. We got lots and lots to cover.
I'm going to wake up the girls, I think, and
wish them happy birthday. Sure, I am okay, here we
go handle on the news, Amy neil me lead story. Well,
(04:50):
today the court ends it's a nine month term and
as always we will receive a bunch of rulings, which
they do it the very last second. The most interesting
one is the birthright citizenship dispute, but it really won't
be because it is going to be a procedural issue.
(05:11):
The underlying issue, and that is the Fourteenth Amendment, the
language that if you're born in the United States, you're
a citizen. Eh. I wish the Court would deal with that.
They could, but they won't. Also, we've got what else
we have conservative parents, religious parents opting their kids out
(05:32):
of LBGT themed books, and class can't read those congressional
districts in Louisiana. I mean, there are some technical stuff.
We've gotten most of their big ones out of the way,
But the fun one is the birthright one, because they
have to do with anchor babies, and the President is
pushing hard of getting rid of the birthright and a
(05:56):
lot of people agree with him.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Moving on, it looks like we got a deal. China
has signaled that it will approve the export of rare
earth minerals to the US. That signal comes hours after
officials of the White House said the two sides had
reached a deal in what will be a breakthrough after
weeks of negotiations over US access to those rare earths,
(06:20):
which are used in everything from electronics to fighter jets.
They'd become a key focus of trade frictions between the
world's two largest economies in the recent weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So we're getting the are orange rare earths, aren't we
That's an orange chicken joke that didn't work at all
at all. Okay, moving on, They can't all win.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Fact, some of them would see some of them.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah, that's more moving on in the GOP Senate has
transformed key provisions from the House past version of Trump
very well known One.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Big Beautiful Bill Act, And this measure that would extend
trillions of dollars in tax cuts actually spend hundreds of
billions in immigration enforcement defense.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
The whole thing here is.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That that it's spending a lot of money. So House
budget hardliners are the ones that are speaking up. They
tanked the legislation in May, saying that it added too
much to the national debt. We'll see where it ends
up landing.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's this one is interesting because you have the House
Republicans that want in the Senate hardcore Republicans want to
tank it because the cuts aren't deep enough, and the
Democrats are saying the cuts are way too deep because
you've got social programs that are being cut. Non immigration,
(07:52):
not enforcement of the border is certainly not defense, but
social program are being cut, and it's not the bill
that the president wants. Now, the president gets a strong
arm the Republicans, and every president does that to his
own party as he starts calling up the congressman and
the senators and starts really strong arming them, and in
(08:15):
this case, Donald Trump, who controls the Republican Party unlike
any president ever has The ammunition he has is extraordinary
because he can say, you don't vote this way, I'm
going to primary you out. You will not be a
US Senator or you will not be a US congress
person if you don't vote. And it takes someone who
(08:38):
number one is willing to stand up or number two,
the election is so guaranteed in that district that there
is no way that person.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Is going to lose.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And even then, do you go against this president? Now?
If not with the control that Donald Trump has the
Republican Party. And we'll see, because there's some hard core
well already the most a lot of the provisions I
have disappeared. He's not going to be anywhere near the
bill he wants. It could be very interesting to see
what happens, all right.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
South Carolina wins before Scotis. The Supreme Court has blocked
Planned Parenthood from suing South Carolina over the state's decision
to pull funding because it provides abortions. The legal issue
at the center of this case was technically not about abortion,
(09:29):
but the Court's decision threatens funding for the organization that
is a leading provider of reproductive healthcare and could lead
other predominantly red states to target planned parenthood to make
it harder for it to get Medicare funding.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
One of the rules about courts in general, appeals courts
not one of the rules, but basically one of their
practices is they tend to rule very narrowly and most
of the cases are a technical procedural, like the birthright issue.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
They're not going to.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Rule on the merits of are people born in this
country citizens of the United States. It has to do
with the power of a judge to determine who or
what goes in front of the court. And this is unfortunately,
it's always technical. Now, occasionally you have these far reaching
decisions Roe v. Wade, overturning Roe v. Wade, those are
(10:28):
big time decisions, Brown versus Board of Education, Miranda, the
Miranda warnings. I mean, those are massive decisions. The Supreme
Court doesn't make those very often, so I don't think
you're going to see any The last massive decision was
the overturning of Roe. Oh, maybe the overfelt decision ten
(10:49):
years ago legalizing marriage and gay marriage, but that doesn't
happen very often. The Court can by the way, it
can do anything at once. It can make a statement
of huge import It's just normally doesn't.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
La County Department of Public Health offering its final free
community blood testing event two day.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Why is this important?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
While this screen's victims of the firestorms we had back
in January of possible exposure to lead. So if you
are in the area of the Eaton Palisade fire, you know,
they found some lead in the levels in the soil. Today,
from nine am to four pm there in Altadena at
(11:38):
the Community Center there at seven three zero East Altaden
to drive you can go and get your blood drawn
and tested to see if you have any you know,
heightened levels of lead. So far they've found some, but
not to the dangerous dangerous level.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
By the way, this could be a very easy test.
They don't even need to draw blood. They just throw
you into a swimming pool and if you have success
levels of lead.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Boy, you just think there's one way and you'd also
find out if they were a witch.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
That's also true.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
So Trump gets sued a lot and really likes to
sue too. An attorney has sent legal letters to CNN
and The New York Times alleging that stories by both
organizations were false and defamatory regarding recent US air strikes
against Iranian nuclear facilities. CNN responded that they rejected the
(12:39):
claims made, and The Times also responded, saying no retraction
is needed, no apology will be forthcoming. We told the
truth to the best of our ability and will continue
to do so.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, where is the defamation here? That's what I love
about this. Remember he sued CBS and based on that
interview with Kamala Harris, and they caved, and they talk
about settling. This is just about settling. So what's CNN
gonna do? Cave? There's no defamation. They reported that the
(13:15):
Pentagon Intelligence arm said that there was little damage done
to the Iranian nuclear facilities. The administration's information said there
wasn't that there was far more damage.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It was an obliteration.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
So all the Times did, CNN and the New York
Times report what the Pentagon said, It still carried what
Trump said. So what's the takeaway here? You disagree with Trump,
you get sued. And if this isn't scary for any
news organization because the threat is I'll sue, you can't
(13:59):
say I'll shut you down.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
That would be a little bit tough.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Did the Okay Bar Association support Trump and in his
re election because they should have They are making more money.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, that's true. Now that's absolutely true. Good point.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, So one.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
More and we will bail and take a break.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
All right.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
So you have President Donald Trump administration planning to deport
migrant kilmar A Brigado Abrigo Garcia Brego. I know that
sounded strange, Thank you, Amy for a second time. But
the deportation will not happen until after Abrego is tried
in federal court on migrant smuggling charges.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So we will see how that goes. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You know, we haven't heard much about the evidence of
the migrant smuggling prosecution. The Department of Justice says they
have them all over the place. I mean, they have
the evidence that he did that we don't know because
that hasn't been covered a whole lot. What was covered
is he was pick up, it picked up and deported
to Venezuela, to that prison, and the President said, we
(15:13):
can't do anything about it now he's gone, even though
a court had ordered him to be returned. And the
administration then caved and Venezuela did return him, so as
soon as he returns, they'd pick him up and arrest him.
And I'm trying to remember was he released on bail
or is he still being held amy.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
He was going to be released on bail, but then
they decided to keep him in custody for at least
a few more days because and maybe this is decided now,
but because they were worried if he was let out
on bail while he was waiting for trial, Ice might
nab him into port him.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
It's this whole thing is such a cockale that is
fascinating anyway, And if they do try him for this,
then he goes to prison, and upon his release from prison,
he is deported. And that's the way it goes with
illegal migrants who are convicted of pretty serious crimes in
(16:14):
this country. They do their time and then they're tossed.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
RFK Junior's new vaccine panel has taken its first action.
The panel of advisers selected by Health Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Junior, voted yesterday to recommend that no one get
a flu vaccine that contains thimmers.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The mamasol t marisol.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I think is the way he's pronounced.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
It's a preservative that has been the target of anti
vaxxers and Kennedy himself. Five members voted to recommend that
no children, pregnant women, or adults get any flu vaccine
with tamarsol or however you say it. There was one
panel member who voted no. He said, the risk from
influenza is so much greater than the non existence is
(17:01):
existent as far as we know risk from the preservative.
He said he'd hate for a person not to get
the influenza vaccine because the only available preparation has the
preservative in it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, now here's the fun one. This is another page
out of the insanity of this department in Robert Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
First of all, Robert F.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Kennedy Junior doesn't have any experience in when he's dealing
with health issues, big health issues across the board. His
position is anti vax that's his experience. And tamarasol. The
connection between tamarasol and autism. The anti vaxers quote one
(17:45):
study that was completely debunked. There is study after study
that shows there is no connection between autism and tamarasol.
And here we go, and now you watch that he
is so anti vaxed that the CDC at some point
(18:06):
is going to say we recommend no vaccines because they're
so dangerous to you. This is just insane. And there
was a presentation from A Lynn Redwood, who was president
of the Kennedy's anti vax group. She identified herself as
(18:27):
just quote a private citizen because she has no experience
either in this world. And she is a quote expert
who actually works for the government in the office of
the Assistant Secretary for Health. But she is an expert,
and she's just a private citizen. She says, this is
all of this is insane. It is crazy, beyond crazy.
(18:51):
What's going on with this?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
This can get you worse.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
If Jenny McCarthy, if she was a big fan of Trump,
she'd probably have his job.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I mean, all of it is. It's just crazy, you know,
to Marisol, because it is used as a preservative, which
has been debunked to connection to autism. Don't take vaccines.
Don't take the flu vaccine, even though what fifty thousand
people a year in the United States die of the flu. Okay,
(19:23):
one more and then we'll take.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Our break, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
The Santa Inez Reservoir in the Palisades that we heard
a lot about was empty and undergoing repair during the
time of the January firestorm. There it's back online. It's
had problems. This floating cover had a significant tear that
needed to be fixed. They fixed it supposedly a couple
months back, and then they found in April some more
(19:50):
issues when they were filling it back up, so they
drained it, did more repairs, and it looks like it
is back online.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Pinhole size leaks in.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The cover the second time, the big I understand the.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
First time there were terrors, but the second time it
was another I don't know, six months, eight months whatever.
To repair pin hole size.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
They actually had to have divers go in to see
the holes. Well, they probably only just get bigger if
you've ever had.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, okay, i'll bind.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
We had a pool cover that a pin hole size.
We've had it replaced three times.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
All right, Okay, iris tracked. We won't be doing this
again when you correct me. I just want to let
you know.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Okay. So, speaking of free falling, we told you about
that guy who was who helped the fertility clinic bomber
in Palm Springs get the ammonium nitrate or whatever to
make the bombs. We told you that he died in
the Metropolitan jail. Well, now we know that he died
because he jumped off a balcony.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Took a swan dive.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, speaking of free falling. Nice segue, maybe, cakey.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Governor Gav Newsom, who is fighting in court to bring
the Guard back under his command, says Trump's action in
Los Angeles is harming public safety. So he says, whether
it's ventanyl takedown operations or wildfire response, the California National
Guard plays a critical role in protecting our communities and
(21:26):
Trump is deliberately undermining that work.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Are there any flowers burning right now?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, that's exactly the question. Has it affected fire prevention
in the sense of fires burning right now and we
don't know? And if there are no fires, he gets
a pass. If there are fires and they needed those
National Guard troops, it's a little bit different. But I
(21:52):
think the underlying argument here of Newsom is, come on,
you know, we have you know, we need these guys
ready to go.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The other question is how many how many National Guard
troops as Donald Trump brought to the table, was that
like four thousand something like that?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
There's four thousand, but then he had remembered he had
said he wanted another two thousand. But we haven't heard
that they've been brought here. Maybe they were just activated.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But yeah, and if there is a fire, my question
is can a lot more be activated in the thousands?
In other words, did this make a huge effect on
the number that can be called up? And I don't
know the answer. That's predicated on how many National Guard
troops are available, how many are firefighters have been trained
in firefighting.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Looks like the biggest fire that's burning in California right
now is up near Vizilia. It's eighty three acres.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Right American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit what are
the odds wins Day on behalf of a fourteen year
old student who said a teacher humiliated her for refusing
to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance in protest of
US support of Israel's war in Gaza. So the teacher
(23:16):
told her, since you live in this country and enjoy
its freedom, if you don't like it, you should go
back to your country.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And then the parents, they're Palestinian descent, said that their
daughter suffered extensive emotional and social injuries.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, I mean, you know, and we'll never be able
to sleep again and can't get an elevator and seize
the flag and Flips's.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Crappy of the teacher, though I.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Think you know as much as in the other side.
It ticks me off, and it does. It rubs me
the wrong way. It's like, if you're going to love America,
you're going to love America's constitution, which says she has
the right.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Not to precisely. And here's the other issue that the
argument was made during Brown versus Board when the Supreme
Court under Earl Warren, when the advocates in favor of
segregation said separate but equal, which was a bunch of crap.
As long as we give them equal education, we can
(24:14):
segregate black students and white students. And what the Supreme
Court said, just the separation, the stigma of being separated
out is enough, and I think that's the case here.
Just the stigma of this kid being held out or
being called out by the teacher is enough. And I
(24:38):
agree with you, that's enough. And by the way, the
other issue is there's a constitutional issue. Saying no statement
is being made just doesn't want to stand during the
Pledge of Allegiance. By the way, there was a lawsuit
that was filed in San Francisco that the Pledge of
Allegiance in and of itself is a violation of church
and state because you say under God in the pledge.
(25:02):
And how about the students were that were atheists? Why
were they stigmatized? And the court, the appeals court ruled
in favor of the plaintiff and said, Okay, you can't
use under God, and the law was changed instantly. Under
God is fine, much like much like in God we
(25:22):
trust on the dollar bill.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
So what about the teacher's right to do what to
stigmatize kids or the freedom to say, hey, this is
in my opinion, no.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The teacher does not have a right to move a kid.
How about a teacher's right to move a black kid
over to the back of the class.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So if she did that, she just said no, no.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
But that's not the point when you talk about teachers' rights.
The teacher does not have the right to separate kids
out or call out some kid for not standing up
during the pledge. Okay, I think we have another.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Brad wasn't home when his home was broken into. Brad
Pitt's house in Los Phelis was broken into Wednesday night,
officials are saying. Police are saying that they're not sure
if his home was targeted by burglars or if it
was just another expensive home that got broken into. Not
known how much was taken, but apparently it was ransacked
(26:23):
pretty good. Three people got into the house around ten
thirty on Wednesday night by jumping over a fence and
then breaking in through a front window.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
You would think by now, these high end, these actors
and particularly sports figures who are being burglarized, at what
point do they bring in armed security guards and someone
breaks in, they just shoot him in the heart right there.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I would good to know.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, by the way, just to let you know when
I'm gone, my house is not worth breaking in two
which is true. By the way, it is full of
goods from Costco. Uh, that's it, Curt.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Speaking of Costco, did you see that they're putting fast
charging EV stations.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
At Costco's No, I haven't noticed.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Yeah, Crow's got a oister on.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
It, which oh, okay, you have to find out which ones?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, oh, look at him? Get it so excited?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Well, I knew. I you know what I heard the
I heard Crow's story on it this morning, and I went, oh,
Bill's going to be excited about that. In fact, I'll
do it in my seven o'clock now da.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I'm straight.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know where I'm going today? Yes, I'm going. I'm
going to a therapy session that I'm going to have
today at Costco.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Oh I was what was that?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
A few days ago? Earlier in the week, I went
to Costco and the clerk recognized me, recognized my voice,
and he said, hey, you're Bill Handle. You really do
come here to Costco. I go, yeah, of course I do.
And then the lady in front of me turned to
the clerk and said, of course. Worse he goes to
Costco and then asks for a selfie.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Did you do it?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Oh? Yeah, of course? Oh yeah, no, it's uh, you know,
someone asked me for a selfie. I mean, these are
