Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I didn't want to lead you on, so I figured
it's best to be honest. I hope you understand, and
I really do wish you all the best, leaving out
the part where I really think your escape that is
not put into the AI the chat GPT.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That's what I would do.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Good warning everybody handle here on a humpday, Wednesday, July ninth. Hey, Heather,
did I hear you correctly when you said before we
came on the air during As You Finish wake Up
Call that there is a new Barbie that has diabetes.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
It is a diabetes awareness barbie. So she has an
insulin pump and she has a blue polka dot dress,
which is the color for diabetes.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Wow, but I don't believe.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I think the idea is that she has diabetes and
it is to comfort children who have it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah. Let me tell you my yeah, well that's the
worst diabetes.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
But let me tell you the vision that I had,
the visual that I oh no, and that is they're
going to come out because they want to invoke you
know an inclusion a double amputee Barbie and the double
amputee Barbie came out of a focus group where one
(01:39):
very treble troubled kid started tearing the arms off of
Barbie doll instead of playing, and some suit said, Hey,
I think we have something here. I think this one's
going to work. That is ludicrous.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I mean there might be some children who are amputees
who are will resonate with that doll.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
No, I understand.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
How about July fourth, the barbiees with a hand blowing off.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Oh my, that works, Good morning everyone, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Cd Ken, that one is really pop comes a little
blue pills and then Barbie has a you pull a
string and she goes, Oh, don't worry, it happens.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
It's okay, it happens to everyone.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
You can do a lot with this, just a loot.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, there's a story that I was telling you,
Ann there may be a story there of the history
of Barbies, how they've gotten more and more and more ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
They just want to appeal to everyone. Metallica's correct.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Okay, so now we have to go right into the
trans Barbies, the Carbie dolls. We've got to do you know,
I can't wait to see what's finished with this. We
should have a contest, that's what we should do. We
should that's very funny. We should have a contest as
to uh where think canon Barbie are going to go
(03:02):
in the world. Now, in this world.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
There is you know, as Heather was saying, there is
something about having things that make if they're supposed to
comfort kids find that.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I have no idea. It's just where you go with it.
But bluff sized Barbie.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yet they do. Yeah, and the Kirby Barbie, I think
her name was skipper curve, curvy, snippervy Barbie.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
And my listen, my friend, one of my dearest friends,
her daughter has type one and she is so excited
about this Barbie because type one is different than a
type two diabetes, you know, so for her she wears
an insulin pump and she's excited to have all.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Let me ask you this, Okay, how do you differentiate
the Barbie who, for example, has a syringe for insulin
versus the Barbie who's a heroin addict.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Well, I think one is probably a little cheaper.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
One's a lot skinnier, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's uh yeah, how about the Barbie with no teeth
because she's a tweaker.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You could do a lot with Barbie's Listen, Mortel.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You've got some good ideas. They need to hire us.
We basically got their little workshop here.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, I knows. Oh yeah, well there's a great story
about you. Remember Build a Bear? Yeah, I was asked
to do commercials for Build a Bear, and they were
going to do I was going to create my own
Build a Bear seriously, and negotiations broke down very quickly
because I wanted to do a Build a Bear with
(04:32):
AIDS that was during the eighth Scare that had purple
splotches on it.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
It just person, are you that is correct? I Am
not a good people.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Even had their coffee yet this morning, and we have
hit them with with.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Of course we have.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That's Heroine Barbie and AIDS Bear.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, that's what this show is all about. Good morning, Heather.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Heather's in this week for Amy Neil still there always
shaking head and saying you are not a good person.
Will Coleschreiver, Hello, Will, good morning, And there he is
with his horizontal stripes, thin as ever, and there is
and good morning, Hi, good Hi.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
And then Cono always good. All right, guys, you ready
to do it? This is actually it was a good
start this morning. I feel invigorated now.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
This is Handle on the News with Heather Brooker, Neil
Savedra and me lead story.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yours call de Ice. The city and the County.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Of La are among local governments and they're trying to
join a lawsuit already filed against the Trump administration to
stop what they're arguing our unlawful detentions.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
During these immigration sweeps.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And so you've got a bunch of cities trying to
join in this lawsuit originally filed by the ACLU, and
the lawsuits is that our region is under siege by
federal governments and aims to stop federal agencies from this
ongoing pattern and practice of flouting the Constitution and federal
law during immigration rates. Kind of interesting because they're both
(06:13):
sides are arguing siege. The ACLU is arguing that the
Feds are sieging is that's a verb. And at the
same time, the ACLU is are well that the Feds
are engaging in the siege, and the government is saying
that the migrants are engaging in this siege on southern California,
(06:37):
particularly La is the poster child of this whole immigration thing,
and we're going to be at the forefront of this
for a very long time.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
All right.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
In Texas, we're getting some new details about how inspectors
signed off on Camp Mystics emergency planning just two days
before this catastrophic flood killed one hundred and now the
death rolds at one hundred and ten people one hundred
and sixty are still unaccounted for. The Department of State
(07:06):
Health Services says there that the camp complied with a
lot of the state regulations regarding procedures to be implemented
in case of a disaster, and then, of course, just
two days later the flooding happened.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, I'm going to this story I'm gonna do at
eight o'clock because the blame game has already started, and
there has to be a reality check here that I'm
going to bring to the table because this thing is
already spinning if from the second has happened, and we're
going to put to bed some of the facts and
the speculation.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
All right, Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the
right hand is doing. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did
not inform the White House before authorizing a pause on
weapons shipments to Ukraine last week. Apparently these are coming
from some sources familiar with the matter in the government.
President Donald Trump suggested yesterday that he was not responsible
(08:05):
for the.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Move to pause.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
And this is sort of underscoring this haphazard policy making
process inside the administration, particularly under Hegseth and the Defense Department,
where communication seems to be light.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
On existent.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, it's you're right, the right hand doesn't know what
the right hand or the left hand is doing. I mean,
this government, that is the administration is in total disarray.
I think we've ever seen an administration so scrambled out,
not only in its leadership people that are totally unqualified
(08:45):
to be heads of these agencies, but also how they're
running them, and people who have expertise, the secondary and
you know, the secondary tier, the career people who actually
run the agencies, if they didn't have utmost loyalty to
Donald Trump, they're gone gone.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
But don't you think that that On that note, it's
strange that he is not more aware of what's going
like he isn't in the like, you know, micromanaging.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, first of all, he may not be a micro
manager at all. I don't know how he operates like
Donald Trump is certainly not a micromanager. And if you
don't have the expertise that goes up and establishes here's
our procedures, here's our policy, where they head of the
agency can just wake up in the morning saying, Hey,
this is what I think we're going to do.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Kennedy does that all every morning. RFK.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now I got another story coming up about OURFK. You go,
come on, really, give me a break on this.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
So they didn't have the files, or they do have
the files, then now they don't have the files. There's
a lot of back and forth here going on. Attorney
General Pam Bondie is saying that they do not have
the Epstein files, and now her handling of the case
is coming into question. There's a lot of criticism, a
lot of division happening here from insiders and people outside
(10:09):
the White House. Her memo that she released said that
they found no evidence that that Epstein was murdered, and
a lot of conspiracy theories running wild here.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's after she said that on her desk is a
list of those involved with Epstein, which of course didn't exist.
What I'm going to do is talk about that one,
because this is the conspiracy theorists running.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
A mock but the other way.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, usually it's this is one hundred and eighty degree
different than the usual conspiracy theories, same theorists, same lunatics,
but it's just a different spin. And I'm going to
cover that one coming up at seven point thirty.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
It does go to show you how people will will
protect they're crazy. Oh yeah, you know, they love Trump
and then all of a sudden, you know there's nothing there.
But like you pointed out, you've got to lie on
one side or the other. Either it was on your
desk or it doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh you should. Well, I'm gonna give you the quote
from the White House.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It is absolutely hilarious with Caroline Levitt, said Levitt is
she is my absolute favorite press secretary because it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
It's it could be pouring rain.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
And with a straight face, she'll say the President says
it's a sunny day.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
He saw his shadow.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Yes, okay, So an impostor this is, I mean, what
can you believe? At this point, an impostor was pretending
to be Secretary of State Marco Rubio he's contacting foreign ministers,
a US governor, members of Congress, sending them voice and
text messages that mimic Rubio's voice, his writing style, and
(12:00):
they're doing all of this using artificial intelligent intelligence powered software.
This is according to a senior US official and State
Department Department cable that was obtained by the washed IT posts.
So US authorities at this point they have no idea
who's behind this string of impersonation attempts, but it looks
(12:21):
like they were attempting to manipulate powerful government officials in
one way or another. The goal of gaining access to
information or accounts is pretty scary because this is not
the first time.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, can you imagine now what you can do with AI.
You can be anybody talk about anything under any circumstances,
even within government circles where it's highly classified and top secret,
because AI is going to be able to figure out
to get involved basically hack almost anything.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It's pretty scary stuff, all right.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
So this could have some pretty big implications here in California.
But Agriculture Secretary Agriculture Secretary Brook Rawlins has said there's
not going to be any amnesty for migrants and mass
deportations will continue to achieve one hundred percent American workforce.
She's saying that there are enough adults in the Medicaid
(13:17):
program to fill any available positions left by migrants who
have been deported. She says, there's thirty four million able
bodied adults in the Medicaid program and their goal is
to have one hundred percent American workforce.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Okay, with that being said, all right, First of all,
this is a departure from what the President said when
he talked about agricultural workers and how valuable they are.
And there's some good people there, and we don't want
to go after these good people.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Well, Secretary brook Rawlins goes the other way and says
we're tossing all of them out. Then you have the
situation there are tons of able bodied workers. I said,
I don't know anybody whose job has been replaced by
an illegal migrant. Neil pointed out, and rightly so, that
there are plenty of jobs in construction that are being
(14:12):
filled by illegal migrans.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
What listeners have said, and I understand, and I'll buy that. Yeah, no,
I'll buy that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
So let's talk about I just did some concrete work
at my house, of course, did not ask, don't ask,
don't tell, no idea who's illegal who is not, Although
they were picked up at the home depot and every
time anybody with a green uniform showed up, it didn't
matter from what agency they scrambled. The point is, I
(14:39):
asked my contractor, I said, how long does it take
for someone to really know concrete, to really know how
to pour concrete. I'm talking about the rebar, I'm talking
about the finishing. It's pretty skilled stuff. And he said
two years. Two years. So now illegal migrants and the
(15:02):
construction business and the highly skilled construction jobs are gone,
and it takes years to effectively build up the expertise.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
What do you do during those two three years? What
does she suggest?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
She doesn't have any suggestions for it, does she?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
No, I'm just a practical matter. I'm not even talking
about morally. I'm not talking about politically. I'm just talking
about practically. What do you do when your skilled labor
walks out the door and you don't have anybody to
replace them for at least a couple of years while
they're being trained.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
You have a gaping hole in the workforce.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
And my question in this too, is how do we
determine who is able bodied? Because I know people who
are Medicaid and they may be able to, you know,
stand up right, but they may not be.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That's a very good point for a long that's a
very good Now we go back to the barbie with
one arm story, right, who is able bodied? What is?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
What are the parameters there? Does it also include men?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
And that's that's you know, you're absolutely right the exception
and no one's handicapped anymore. They're all handy capable. But
that is a different story that we're getting into. Did
I just confuse everything?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
No, we have systems for all of this. We have
systems for getting a placard. Although some people in moral
people get it. Yeah, use it, but there's there. You
have to do it for insurance. I have to do
it for all kinds of things.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
So a doctor's note essentially was probably what it's going
to end up coming down to, is doctors can determine
who is able bodied or not. So that puts a
lot of power in the hands of doctors.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
It's already there. Now, Okay, I mean seriously, for insurance,
I understand, But.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
The reality is anybody can get a doctor note. But
that's the point that besides the point. So do you establish, ah,
some kind of ubreaucracy, bureaucracy to oversee this, because now
we're talking about ten of millions of people.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I mean, that is no small endeavor, all right.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
President Donald Trump yesterday stepped up his criticism of his
old bestie, Russian President Vladimir Putin. He reiterated plans to
send more weapons to Ukraine to aid in the war
against Russia that we know about. But he says, I'm
not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much
(17:26):
right now, because he's killing a lot of people. This
is during a cabinet meeting. We got a lot of bs.
He said, the whole thing thrown at us by Putin.
You want to know the truth. He's very nice all
the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So much for ending the war, honest, so much for
ending that war. Day one of the administration of his administration. Now,
do I think that was just a political statement, No,
I think he believed it. I think Trump did believe
that he could end the war. Underestimating who Putin is.
Putin's been the hancho there for a generation. For twenty
(18:06):
five years, twenty six years. And you know it's this war,
this Ukrainian war is really important to putin, really important.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
All right.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
The Trump administration can now move forward with plans to
slash the federal workforce and dismantle federal agencies. This comes
from the Supreme Court. The decision could result in job
losses for tens of thousands of employees, including at agencies
like the Department of Housing and Urban Development and State
and Treasury.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Now I have a question.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Why wouldn't the executive branch be able to downsize the
executive branch, whether.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
You agree with it or not.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Why wouldn't agency decide to say, Okay, we don't need
these many people working because we believe we can.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Do X, Y and z.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And how lawsuit is file saying you don't have the
right to do this. I'm missing something here. I don't
get it, all right.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Elon Musk and his rock Ai chatbot that is used
on x apparently praised Hitler and used anti Semitic phrases,
attacked users with traditionally Jewish surnames before it was rained
in so users report of July eighth that they would
get disturbing phrases after typing in questions to the chatbot.
(19:32):
I don't know what the questions were.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
What do you think about Jews? Do you like Hitler?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Who knows?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
But apparently they're fixing it or have fixed it, and
that it has Musk said, improved significantly. Maybe he only
hates Jews a little bit.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Now, that's right.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well, Musk's philosophy is this is basically a First Amendment issue.
Why he has put so many people or back on
who are misogynists, racist, anti religious because he believes everybody
effectively has the right to use social platforms.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
This one went a little bit far, and so we'll
see if.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
It is horrible, if anyone is on X it is horrible.
The sexual content, the violent content, the racist content.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I understand horrible.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But the argument is, it is First Amendment. You are
allowed in this country to be horrible. You're allowed to
be racist, you're allowed to be misogynists. You are allowed.
You can't advocate well, certainly violence. You can't say. You
can say I want the president to die. You cannot
say go out and kill the president or I will
(20:44):
kill There is a distinction there.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Now anything like that, the Secret.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Service shows up and has a nice conversation with you
under any circumstances.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
I don't mind that it exists. I just want to
be able to filter it out of my feed. I
don't know how it gets in mind.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
How do you do that? How do you feel out
of your own feet? I don't either.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
It drives me nuts. It just comes and I look
and I'm not following the person. I'm like, why the
hell did that shot here?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
And both sides have an argument they do.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
One is unlimited First Amendment and the other one is
who decides how far something goes?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Where is that line? Who makes that decision?
Speaker 5 (21:19):
All right?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I really quickly. I don't know if we just had
a minor earthquake here or not. Did you guys feel
any shaking or anything. I feel like I just felt
a little bit of something. So maybe Carla can.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Maybe it's a gastro intestinal issue.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Maybe it is Maybe it's just me in my chair
shaking around a little too much coffee for me.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
All right, thank you for that, Bill, You're welcome. All right.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
So President Trump says that his administration is considering taking
over Washington, DC, and it suggested that he would also
consider targeting New York City should Democratic candidate zorn mom
Donnie win the mayoral race this fall. He made these
comments to reporters at the White House yesterday.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
The guy just is bombastic.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I mean there are things he says that I take
seriously and things just say, come on, this is Trump
that's talking. The federal government is going to take over
New York because the mayor is too liberal or too communist.
We're too socialists. You know, we can elect a socialist mayor.
Welcome to America. We can elect a communist into power.
(22:30):
That's America. But no, no, if it's a socialist mayor,
the government is going to come in and take over
New York City.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Did you think I think he came back on it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
He probably walk it back a bit, Yeah, I think
he did.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Thirteen year old boy has been arrested in connection with
firework brush fire in Laguna Beach. We heard about that
fire burned as many as five acres, prompted evacuations, all
kinds of craziness. They investigators later obtained a video evidence
clearly shown a juvenile suspect lighting fireworks and cleaning the scene.
(23:08):
No injuries that we know about or immediate threats to structure.
Thank God, but we'll see what goes.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
On, all right.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I wish we could show everybody this picture. Maybe there's
a way we can. But apparently this little chihuahua, this
little tiny chihuahua, I don't know if we have his
name here, maybe I missed it, but this chihuahua alerted
rescue cruise in Switzerland to his person who had fallen
(23:41):
in a glacier. That he was hiking the flee Fee
glacier and when he broke through a snowbridge, fell eight
meters which is about twenty six feet down, and this
little chihuahua was pacing back and forth on the rocks there,
and that is how rescue crews saw him and were
able to locate the man who had fallen down. Why
(24:03):
does this not give the dog's name? That is essential information?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
And really want to see this picture?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Head that's right, because you have this little chiuala literally
pulling a guy up out of the crevice with a rope.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
It is so impressive with his with his paws even,
that's what's impressive about it.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He looks like a furry baby. Yoda's dog dogs are
the best.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Trinity Rodman is at Wimbledon and she wants everybody to
know that her dad is not Her dad is Dennis Rodman,
and I guess he keeps his She's there supporting her
boyfriend who's in the tournament, and I guess announcers and
the like keep mentioning that she's Dennis Rodman's daughter. But
(24:49):
apparently they didn't have, you know, a great relationship, or
maybe still don't have a great relationship. He wasn't there
much for her.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Apparently, Well, he can't get in because he can't make
it through the metal detector.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Oh boy, that Prince Albert will get you every time.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Okay, I think we have time for one more, Heather.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
All right.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
The US Apartment of Agriculture again broke rawlins. She made
an announcement that the government will move to ban sales of
farmland to Chinese buyers and other foreign adversaries, citing threats
to national security and food security.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I didn't Well, I guess I did know this, But
Chinese investors own huge amount of farmland acreage and sixty acres.
It makes a lot of I mean relative to the
land that's available. Of course, it's out there for agriculture.
It's a drop in the bucket, but the government is
arguing that this is national security, which I don't know how.
(25:54):
And you can kiss could buy orange in orange Chicken.
That's done.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
One more, This one's for you, Bill. A man died
after he was sucked into an engine of a departing
plane in Milan.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Wow, it's it, that's visual.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
No he doesn't say everyone, Yeah, no he does.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
And just real quickly.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
You want to end it with the fact that right
after he was sucked into the engine, they halted all
sales of Hamburgers at the airport for the next week.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Yeah, he was a spokesperson for Zelman's after he got
sucked in. Then it swallowed the capsule which went to
work in the belly with parsley sin oil.
