Speaker 2 (02:54):
How's your seeing? I dog doing hopefully well? Okay. Anyway,
Neil is gone and he will be back next week
either Tuesday or Wednesday, So Footy Friday Day Tuesday, and
then because Neil is so heavily involved in as candle anything,
I don't think we're doing that this week either, so
(03:14):
we'll jump on that one next week. So I'm going
to be doing well every single segment. I'm going to
be doing a fun one at eight point fifty. Our
last segment is a chapter of come On, people Are Nuts. Also,
I'm starting to do spots for Anaheim White House, Like
(03:35):
my favorite all time restaurant, my deli, of course, is
Brints and it is I usually talk about Anaheim White
House in terms of Bruno Serrato with his charity that
he raised. He feeds five thousand kids a night. It's extraordinary.
So I'm gonna talk about the restaurant itself. And they
(03:57):
have a by the way, for those of you that
like s gargo, they have the best s gargo I've
ever eaten my life. They use only the premium rubber
bands to make their s cargo.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And is giving me the look hy why would you snails?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Because actually they're they're not bad. Are they filling are
they filling?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I don't. Why do you enjoy eating them?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, it's the garlic butter that you don't have that
on something else?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well, and you do.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Once you finish the s cargo, you then dip your
redd into garlic butter.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
No, it's very very strong, very very good. And then
you take Zelmonds.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know, I'm going to go through all my commercials
this morning, everything I do. Uh So then you after zelmons,
you want to drink of water, So you go to
your kitchen faucet and drink your life source water.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Okay, I can go. That's enough of pitching, all right.
Anything new going on in the world?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah. The big fun thing is Julaye Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh yeah, Well her story is her dad is an
interesting guy. He was a media mogul in England and
fell off a ship or jumped off his boat and drowned.
Really interesting, interesting story about her. So we're gonna do
that a little bit later on. In the meantime, why
(05:21):
don't we start the news. It's time for Handle on
the news with Amy and me. Neil was not here.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Today, lead sorry, I know you'll see.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So Julane Maxwell, who is serving twenty years in prison
for aiding in a bedding and actually being part of
that child molestation, child rape cabal. Well, it's just Jeffrey
Epstein actually calls two of them and he was convicted.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No, he was waiting.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
He had been tried the second time and killed himself
in prison. She got twenty years and the second in
command of the DOJ met with her yesterday, is going
to meet with her again today.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And this is in reference to this outcry because.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Donald Trump and his followers, the MAGA supporters, were screaming
about these secret files that the Biden administration had and
we're hiding about Epstein and who was on that Epstein list?
Who are the big players in society or on the list.
So they were screaming, yelling there was conspiracy. Now they
(06:34):
get into power and okay, let's see the list.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Aha, we got it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Pam Bondi says, I have it on my desk and
I'm going to be looking at it and then all
of a sudden it comes out.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Even Republicans are going out of their mind and saying,
you've got to produce everything you have. So part of
it is Julaane Maxwell. She's the one that knows everything
is being interviewed in jail two days and the DOJ official,
Todd Blanche, Deputy Attorney General, is saying that she's being cooperative,
(07:12):
She's answering every question. So here's my question. She wants
out of jail desperately. Do you think that in the
interviews she is going to say, not only was Donald
Trump and others not involved in any of the shenanigans
of Epstein. Epstein didn't even know who Donald Trump is.
(07:35):
Matter of fact, what is Donald Trump? Never heard of?
Is it an it or is it a person? I'm
going to talk more about that coming up.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
A big win for the Palestinians. French President Emanuel Macron
has announced that France is going to recognize Palestine as
a state. He said in a post on Eggs that
he'll formalize the decision at the U and General Assembly
that's coming up in December.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He said.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The urgent thing today is that the war in Gaza
stops and the civilian population is saved.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, there, or you talk about a really complicated issue.
The West Bank is what the Palestinians want, and East
Jerusalem and Gaza declared a Palestinian state. The problem is
there are five hundred thousand Israelis that live in the
West Bank. What do they do with half a million
(08:31):
Jews Israelis living on the West Bank. When the Palestinian
state is declared, should there be a two state solution?
I think so, But this does not come easy because
it's a mess either way. And Macrone is there's a
lot of countries that recognize Palestine is the state. This
is the first industrialized G seven country that is doing
(08:52):
the same thing. And of course Natagnan, who's going out
of his mind, and we're going to be talking about
that a whole bunch and a lot of it. It
has to do with the attack October seventh. So why
would you support these people? Why would you give them
any credence by giving them a stake? There'll be plenty
more to talk about there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Increasing the piece is the plan. Police Chief Jim McDonald
says that they want to prevent further incidents and restore
peace of mind to the residents of Encino. There's been
a string of break ins at homes in Encino in July,
including the one that was the double murder of an
(09:32):
American Idol music supervisor and her husband. The most recent
of them happened in broad daylight yesterday. About a half
dozen masked people broke into a house and made off
with boxes of stuff, drove off in the Mercedes.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
My house in Encino, the Persian Palace was broken into
and it was a Chilean group and it was What
they did is put a ladder. They went into the
second story master bedroom. That's it because that's where jewelry,
that's people keep their valuables, knowing Steve's ste Steel silverware.
(10:06):
And they made off with almost nothing because the important
stuff was safe and there was just a lot of
costume jewelry. And my ex Marjorie at that time was
thrilled that those really expensive bags that she had were
not taken and unfortunately that's when she found out they
(10:27):
were all thirty dollars knockoffs that I gave her for
her birthday.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Hated that she found that out.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Killing on California loses around in court. The Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals has ruled it California's policy for background
checks for bullet buyers is a violation of the Second
Amendment that basically kills the ballot measure passed in twenty
sixteen that was meant to strengthen the state's gun laws.
The judge in it, Sandra stegl Akuda, said, the right
(11:01):
to keep and bear arms incorporates the right to operate them,
which requires ammunition.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And that makes sense. Actually, I mean, think of this.
If you have a background check every time you buy ammunition,
So you decide to go to another store a couple
miles away, background check, You go to another city, background
check every time you buy a box of ammo. Tell
me that that it does not interfere with your right
(11:29):
to own a weapon. Now, now I don't particularly agree
with the Second Amendment, but this one makes a lot
of sense.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Clearing the way to clear the streets. President Trump has
signed an executive order to make it easier for cities
and states to remove homeless people from the streets and
get them treatment elsewhere. This is what the order says,
shifting homeless individuals into long term institutional settings for humane
treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore
(11:59):
public order. It goes on to say, surrendering our cities
and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to
the homeless nor other citizens. Trump says, my administration will
take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Again, how do you argue with that if there are
facilities available, and if it turns out that people don't
want to take them, And how many people on the
street are mentally ill who just won't go into a
shelter or they're not going to give up their dogs
where shelters don't allow them to have pets, or their
private possessions, where shelters don't allow you to bring in
(12:38):
your clothing goods, your private property which is probably junk
and with a supermarket card. So it's you know, in California,
it used to be there weren't too many homeless because
they would lock people up in state institutions. And Ronald
Reagan undid that. And the acl you saying you have
(13:01):
the right to be nuts, and you have the right
to live on the street if you want to, and
that is the law.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Now you don't have a right to.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You don't have the right to block businesses, You don't
have the right to interfere with people's use of the sidewalk.
And if you were a danger yourself or others, we
can put you away. But short of that, and this
is the Trump administration saying, and of course the ammunition
the Trump administration has is grants to the city. If
(13:33):
you don't do this, we are not going to give
you federal money. And most governments county, city, state, get
their money from the Feds. Huge amount of money comes
in from the Fed. So the Feds read the Trump
administration has enormous power. Well, look what happened to Harvard.
Look what happened to Columbia that just caved? Why because
(13:55):
of federal grant money?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, moving on, another hot spot breaks out. Thailand and
Cambodia have exchanged fire along their disputed border for a
second day. More than a dozen people have been killed.
More than one hundred thousand civilians have been evacuated from
the area. Tensions between the neighbors in Southeast Asia have
(14:17):
been boiling for months over disputed sections of their five
hundred mile long land border.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
How many people know that Thailand and Cambodia have a border?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I didn't together, no one. And assuming they have.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
A border and there are now skirmishes which have been
going on for decades, how many people care?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No one? So thank you for bringing that up in
the news.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Eight billion dollars approved the FCC has cleared the way
for Paramount Global to complete its merger with sky Dance Media.
Paramounts the parent company of CBS, so it's going to
be the new company is Paramount and CBS and Nickelodeon.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think Showtime, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And politics has nothing to do with this, because sky
Dance has committed to review complaints of editorial bias read
against crazy people who are conspiracy theorists and should be
that should be reported as news and so, and there
is a bias. There's a liberal bias. There's no question
(15:28):
in television, major media. But you know here's another one.
You do what we want, and if you do what
we want, this is getting rid of DEI and those programs,
then we have the power to do what you want.
And in this case, the merger was approved and it
was up in the air for a very long time,
(15:49):
and all of a sudden, you do what we want
you to do, and we will grant the permission for
the two companies to merge, the purchase to merge. And
then you have the FCC chairman. I think it's Brian Carr,
Brendan Carr, who is so biased because all these various
(16:15):
programs are left wing, radical programs, DEI programs. So those
are gone, by the way, and they used to be
a big part of media.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
They used to be a big.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Part of corporations. Gone gone, gone, got a public spat.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He had President Trump and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell
doing a little verbal back and forth yesterday as they
toured the renovations of the Fed's headquarters. The chairman has
corrected the President over some of his claims about cost overruns,
and did that while the cameras were rolling, and despite
pass threats to fire Powell over the project, saying it
(16:57):
was mismanaged, Trump left the Federal Reserve building and called
it a productive meeting and said he didn't see enough
to justify the chairman being terminated.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah, okay, a couple of things.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
First of all, he comes out, he whips out a
document I piece of paid per hands it to Powell.
He said, look all these overruns, look at what you
paid for this building that was five years ago.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You can include that in here.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So Trump was wrong on the numbers, and Powell called
him on it, and it was embarrassing. And I wonder
who is going to be fired or disciplined for handing
Trump those documents. Now, as far as keeping Powell, Trump
has no choice for two reasons.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Powell can only be removed for cause. That's it. And
so Trump has to prove.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
That Powell either was so negligent or cheated or whatever
for causes not easy to prove. And I'm assuming that
the financial people around Trump says, if you fire Jerome Powell,
the repercussions cross international markets will be devastating and you
(18:06):
will see markets all over the country just tank.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
So he said, Okay, not going to fire him.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You think he wants to though, yeah, he wants interest
rates to drop, and Paul saying no, will decide because well,
the FED makes that decision, and the President wants the
FED to be under his tutelage.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And it's just not the case, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The Fed's looking into a healthcare company, United health Group,
is facing criminal and civil investigations by the Department of Justice.
The company disclosed that yesterday. It said in an SEC
filing that it is complying with requests from the Department
of Justice. Whe's the company thrown into the spotlight after
(18:51):
United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in New York
and then it's New CEO abruptly left the company in May,
and The Wall Street Journal had reported also in May
that the Department of Justice's Healthcare Fraud Unit was investigating
possible Medicare fraud at the company.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, as the administration is arguing fraud and waste, and
I have issues with some of their allegations when it
comes to Medicare. Man, it doesn't even come close to
what the fraud actually is going on in Medicare.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Hundreds of billions of dollars. The fraud is extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's what's happening doctors, insurance companies.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I mean, it is crazy, crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Trump takes the spotlight on south Park. So South Park
kicked off its twenty seventh season last night with a
searing indictment of President Trump and its network's parent company, Paramount.
Of course, Paramount recently paid the President's sixteen million dollars
to settle that lawsuit that Trump brought against sixty Minutes
(19:58):
and then Paramount and last week the Late Show with
Stephen Colbert was being canceled. They say it was a
financial decision, but Colbert was a relentless critic of MAGA
policy and Trump. So the episodes called Sermon on the Mount,
and it opens with Cartman discovering that his favorite radio station,
NPR has been canceled. He said, the government can't cancel
(20:22):
a show, and then he drops sort of a self
referring joke about South Park's own vulnerability, saying, I mean,
what show are they going to cancel next?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Well, the decision of dropping Colbert does make financial sense
because late night, all of late night is losing money.
So I don't know if Colbert loses more money than
other shows in late night. So it's probably a combination
of politics. Is where's financial?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
But you know.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It doesn't matter. I mean the caving that's going on
is astounding. For sample of that lawsuit against sixty minutes,
which was senseless, it had no legal impact, it made
no sense whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
And Paramount caved on that.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Ooh, and it had nothing to do with the okay
of fccokaying the purchase of a paramount by sky Dance.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
No ifs ands or butts about it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
This guy is creepy.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
A man's been arrested, actually has been arrested multiple times
for sniffing women's rear ends while in public. Well, he
just got arrested again for it. Calise Crowder. He is
thirty eight years old. He was arrested by Burbank police
on Tuesday at a Walmart in the Empire Center, and
police apparently had responded to a Nordstrom rack because women
(21:54):
had said, this guy's sniffing our butts.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, but all he's doing is saying hello, the way
dogs do.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh, he's a what is that thing?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He's a ferbie? What are those? What are the what
are those?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
People who identify as animals?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, and dresses animals too, So you know it. Don't
knock it, all right, unless you've tried it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh, don't try it.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
You know, there's another there is another side of this.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I mean literally, there's another side of this, but that
would also get you in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It's creepy, it's all, and it's on like video. They
show him and he kind of he stands behind him
and then he sort of ducks down and you're like, oh, gross, Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
God, I've never I've never been caught. Thank god.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
All right, moving on, we lost the legend and what
we had first heard yesterday has been confirmed, and that
is that Hulk Hogan died of cardiac arrest. He passed
away yesterday morning in Clearwater, Florida. Paramedics were called to
the house and he was taken away on a stretcher.
(22:55):
But it had surgery. In June, he had next surgery
done and they were saying it was successful. But there's
been a lot of rumors circulating about how he was
doing after that. I know that, like TMZ had said
he was in a coma. His wife had denied that.
He's had several injuries during his wrestling wrestling career, a
(23:15):
lot of them with his back, which makes.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It yeah, I mean, this is what wrestlers do. I
mean his brutal stuff. I mean, they're all injured, and
whenever you do surgery, they do an EKG on you automatically.
They make sure that you're able to undergo the surgery.
Now does an EKG show let's say, an aneurysm, which
this isn't, or there was he had heart issues that
(23:39):
the EKG didn't show.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I mean, clearly.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
And I'm getting really paranoid because all of these people
about my age are completely popping off and all of
a sudden, I'm going, Holy moly. But here is what
I promised to do, and it's for our listeners because
you have asked me, and that is if I am
(24:01):
going to go, I will do it live on the air.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Hi, this is bill done. There's ratings. Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
The EPA may be eliminating climate change. The Trump administration
wants to overturn a two thousand and nine Environmental Protection
Agency finding. The EPA has put together a proposal that
would undo the government's Endangerment finding. It's a determination that
pollutants from burning fossil fuels, like carbon dioxide and methane
(24:39):
can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding
has long served as a foundation for a host of
policies and rules to address climate change.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
At one point, President Trump has said climate change or
the concept of climate change, is a hoax.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Has he ever back pedaled on that one.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I don't remember if he's ever come back and said, no,
it is real stuff. Now, as far as the APEPA
is concerned, all of the government's websites have yanked any
mention of climate change. That's just not part of the government.
And this is the part. I mean, that's kind of scary.
Do you know anybody that doesn't believe that climate change
(25:21):
is upon us? I mean, does anybody not believe it.
I mean, look what's going on. What happened this week
and last week. You have some of the worst storms
on the East Coast, the Eastern Seaboard in mid Us.
I mean record breaking rain two inches an hour and
flooding beyond comprehension, people dying.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
And I'm not talking.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
About just the Guadalupe River where you had those little
girls dying in the Mystic camp, but I'm talking about
floods all over the area where rivers crusted ten fifteen,
twenty feet above normal. And then the right now followed
by record breaking heat wave and humidity where you have
(26:07):
New York north of one hundred degrees, Washington north of
one hundred degrees and humidity on top of that, so
the heat index can go one fifteen one sixteen nuts.
I think New York with the heat index it's one
hundred and five, one hundred and six and the actual
temperature is ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But it is rough stuff, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Apparently no one's watching anyway. E News, the nightly pop
culture program that has helped define the cable network E
Entertainment TV, going away. The Comcast owned network informed the
staff at E News yesterday that they'll be taping their
final episode September twenty fifth. The channel's news operation will
(26:49):
continue to provide coverage online and they'll still do like
red carpet events at the Oscars and Golden Globes, and
they cover the People's Choice Awards, but the staff was
told that the E News audience prefers breaking entertainment coverage
throughout the day on social media instead of showing up
as scheduled at eleven o'clock Eastern each night for a
(27:09):
nightly live show on traditional TV.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Does anybody here watch E News or know of anybody
who watches E News?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
My friend Debbie does, all.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Right, So Debbie is not all there. Debie's special needs.
I understand that, and she enjoys E News. The point
is that it is complete, completely useless, and I.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Haven't watched it for years.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You used to before you could get all the information.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, but you know you got YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
You go to these various news outlets on the on
the internet.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's instant, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
For example, even though we have information I every two
minutes because I subcribe to see Ana and New York
Times their apps is I'm getting pings saying this is new,
this is new, this just happened, I mean seconds ago.
So so you know, why would you watch E news? Actually,
(28:05):
why would you read the newspaper? Although I read, you know,
the papers every day throughout the show. And I'm one
of those crazy people that actually read read the papers.
Sunday it's the La Times and the New York Times.
Saturday it's the Wall Street Journal, and Sunday is a
New York Times, and it is the La Times. Do
(28:28):
you know anybody who reads the paper, by the way,
who actually reads the newspaper?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, my friend Debbie.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Okay, there we go again.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And it's I'm old school, but there's just something about
holding on to the paper and then trying to fold
it and it doesn't fold very well and you have
to run your fingers up and down the middle of
the paper. And let's not forget going in and getting
a toasted bagel and streaks of ink all over the bagel.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I mean, there's just something wonderful about that.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I do miss the newspaper.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That's why I like books. I enjoy books. I like
the feel, the tactile sensation. Although I read most of
my books through the computer.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The Kindle.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Surprise Trump is suing the Justice Department has announced a
lawsuit against New York City's sanctuary city policies. The administration
blamed those policies for the shooting of an off duty
ice agent in Manhattan. The lawsuit is very similar to
the one that was filed last month against la Similar
(29:36):
lawsuits have also been filed against New York State, Colorado, Illinois,
City of Rochester, New York, and several cities in New Jersey.
It says that the government that New York City's policies
are designed to impede the federal government's ability to enforce
federal immigration laws, and goes on to say that New
York City has released thousands of criminals onto the streets
(29:57):
to commit violent crimes against law abiding citizens because of
its sanctuary policies.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Right, there are two issues in this One.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
One is just plain stupid, and that is the argument
that the government. Pambondi tries to sell us that all
crime is committed by illegal immigrants. There's no such thing
as crimes committed by an American citizen in this world
of the Trump administration. So she always PAGs on tags.
(30:27):
Look at this crime, Look who was murdered by an
illegal immigrant? So that part is just plain stupid. Now,
the part that it's not that may have some legs
is the argument that a sanctuary city not helping the
Feds enforced federal law that may be a violation in
and of itself, and that is part of the lawsuit,
(30:49):
and that's the one that's going up and I think
the Supreme Court is going to rule on that.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Does the city have the duty to cooperate with.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The Feds in dealing with immigration because of you've got
a constitutional issue, and that's the supremacy clause of the Constitution,
and that is federal law, Trump's state law, which Trump's
city law. And so the city passing its ordinance or
calling itself a sanctuary city is way at the bottom
(31:21):
of the heap. Also, is it an ordinance that is
past calling New York or Los Angeles or the state
of California a sanctuary city or is it just policy?
And that's a problem too. So this is a really
interesting case coming up. All right, I think we're done
(31:41):
with the news on that one. KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle show.

You noticed that when I talk about my advice that
I give to you, I always disclaim at every minute
of that case or an every minute of the segment
going in, going out, marginal legal advice. I do not
want to be accused of actually telling you that I
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:33):

You asking me the question I am pontiff.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yes, that's absolutely correct.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well done, well done, okay, And yeah, that was an
age shaming you. That was shaming you that you're working
in radio for the amount of money that you're working for.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I know someday my ship will come uh.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Not with a radio antenna on it. It won't.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm too pretty for radio.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Wow, so are you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
How's your seeing? I dog doing hopefully well? Okay. Anyway,
Neil is gone and he will be back next week
either Tuesday or Wednesday, So Footy Friday Day Tuesday, and
then because Neil is so heavily involved in as candle anything,
I don't think we're doing that this week either, so
(03:14):
we'll jump on that one next week. So I'm going
to be doing well every single segment. I'm going to
be doing a fun one at eight point fifty. Our
last segment is a chapter of come On, people Are Nuts. Also,
I'm starting to do spots for Anaheim White House, Like
(03:35):
my favorite all time restaurant, my deli, of course, is
Brints and it is I usually talk about Anaheim White
House in terms of Bruno Serrato with his charity that
he raised. He feeds five thousand kids a night. It's extraordinary.
So I'm gonna talk about the restaurant itself. And they
(03:57):
have a by the way, for those of you that
like s gargo, they have the best s gargo I've
ever eaten my life. They use only the premium rubber
bands to make their s cargo.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And is giving me the look hy why would you snails?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Because actually they're they're not bad. Are they filling are
they filling?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I don't. Why do you enjoy eating them?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, it's the garlic butter that you don't have that
on something else?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well, and you do.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Once you finish the s cargo, you then dip your
redd into garlic butter.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
No, it's very very strong, very very good. And then
you take Zelmonds.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know, I'm going to go through all my commercials
this morning, everything I do. Uh So then you after zelmons,
you want to drink of water, So you go to
your kitchen faucet and drink your life source water.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Okay, I can go. That's enough of pitching, all right.
Anything new going on in the world?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah. The big fun thing is Julaye Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh yeah, Well her story is her dad is an
interesting guy. He was a media mogul in England and
fell off a ship or jumped off his boat and drowned.
Really interesting, interesting story about her. So we're gonna do
that a little bit later on. In the meantime, why
(05:21):
don't we start the news. It's time for Handle on
the news with Amy and me. Neil was not here.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Today, lead sorry, I know you'll see.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So Julane Maxwell, who is serving twenty years in prison
for aiding in a bedding and actually being part of
that child molestation, child rape cabal. Well, it's just Jeffrey
Epstein actually calls two of them and he was convicted.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No, he was waiting.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
He had been tried the second time and killed himself
in prison. She got twenty years and the second in
command of the DOJ met with her yesterday, is going
to meet with her again today.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And this is in reference to this outcry because.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Donald Trump and his followers, the MAGA supporters, were screaming
about these secret files that the Biden administration had and
we're hiding about Epstein and who was on that Epstein list?
Who are the big players in society or on the list.
So they were screaming, yelling there was conspiracy. Now they
(06:34):
get into power and okay, let's see the list.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Aha, we got it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Pam Bondi says, I have it on my desk and
I'm going to be looking at it and then all
of a sudden it comes out.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Even Republicans are going out of their mind and saying,
you've got to produce everything you have. So part of
it is Julaane Maxwell. She's the one that knows everything
is being interviewed in jail two days and the DOJ official,
Todd Blanche, Deputy Attorney General, is saying that she's being cooperative,
(07:12):
She's answering every question. So here's my question. She wants
out of jail desperately. Do you think that in the
interviews she is going to say, not only was Donald
Trump and others not involved in any of the shenanigans
of Epstein. Epstein didn't even know who Donald Trump is.
(07:35):
Matter of fact, what is Donald Trump? Never heard of?
Is it an it or is it a person? I'm
going to talk more about that coming up.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
A big win for the Palestinians. French President Emanuel Macron
has announced that France is going to recognize Palestine as
a state. He said in a post on Eggs that
he'll formalize the decision at the U and General Assembly
that's coming up in December.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He said.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The urgent thing today is that the war in Gaza
stops and the civilian population is saved.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, there, or you talk about a really complicated issue.
The West Bank is what the Palestinians want, and East
Jerusalem and Gaza declared a Palestinian state. The problem is
there are five hundred thousand Israelis that live in the
West Bank. What do they do with half a million
(08:31):
Jews Israelis living on the West Bank. When the Palestinian
state is declared, should there be a two state solution?
I think so, But this does not come easy because
it's a mess either way. And Macrone is there's a
lot of countries that recognize Palestine is the state. This
is the first industrialized G seven country that is doing
(08:52):
the same thing. And of course Natagnan, who's going out
of his mind, and we're going to be talking about
that a whole bunch and a lot of it. It
has to do with the attack October seventh. So why
would you support these people? Why would you give them
any credence by giving them a stake? There'll be plenty
more to talk about there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Increasing the piece is the plan. Police Chief Jim McDonald
says that they want to prevent further incidents and restore
peace of mind to the residents of Encino. There's been
a string of break ins at homes in Encino in July,
including the one that was the double murder of an
(09:32):
American Idol music supervisor and her husband. The most recent
of them happened in broad daylight yesterday. About a half
dozen masked people broke into a house and made off
with boxes of stuff, drove off in the Mercedes.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
My house in Encino, the Persian Palace was broken into
and it was a Chilean group and it was What
they did is put a ladder. They went into the
second story master bedroom. That's it because that's where jewelry,
that's people keep their valuables, knowing Steve's ste Steel silverware.
(10:06):
And they made off with almost nothing because the important
stuff was safe and there was just a lot of
costume jewelry. And my ex Marjorie at that time was
thrilled that those really expensive bags that she had were
not taken and unfortunately that's when she found out they
(10:27):
were all thirty dollars knockoffs that I gave her for
her birthday.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Hated that she found that out.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Killing on California loses around in court. The Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals has ruled it California's policy for background
checks for bullet buyers is a violation of the Second
Amendment that basically kills the ballot measure passed in twenty
sixteen that was meant to strengthen the state's gun laws.
The judge in it, Sandra stegl Akuda, said, the right
(11:01):
to keep and bear arms incorporates the right to operate them,
which requires ammunition.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And that makes sense. Actually, I mean, think of this.
If you have a background check every time you buy ammunition,
So you decide to go to another store a couple
miles away, background check, You go to another city, background
check every time you buy a box of ammo. Tell
me that that it does not interfere with your right
(11:29):
to own a weapon. Now, now I don't particularly agree
with the Second Amendment, but this one makes a lot
of sense.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Clearing the way to clear the streets. President Trump has
signed an executive order to make it easier for cities
and states to remove homeless people from the streets and
get them treatment elsewhere. This is what the order says,
shifting homeless individuals into long term institutional settings for humane
treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore
(11:59):
public order. It goes on to say, surrendering our cities
and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to
the homeless nor other citizens. Trump says, my administration will
take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Again, how do you argue with that if there are
facilities available, and if it turns out that people don't
want to take them, And how many people on the
street are mentally ill who just won't go into a
shelter or they're not going to give up their dogs
where shelters don't allow them to have pets, or their
private possessions, where shelters don't allow you to bring in
(12:38):
your clothing goods, your private property which is probably junk
and with a supermarket card. So it's you know, in California,
it used to be there weren't too many homeless because
they would lock people up in state institutions. And Ronald
Reagan undid that. And the acl you saying you have
(13:01):
the right to be nuts, and you have the right
to live on the street if you want to, and
that is the law.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Now you don't have a right to.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You don't have the right to block businesses, You don't
have the right to interfere with people's use of the sidewalk.
And if you were a danger yourself or others, we
can put you away. But short of that, and this
is the Trump administration saying, and of course the ammunition
the Trump administration has is grants to the city. If
(13:33):
you don't do this, we are not going to give
you federal money. And most governments county, city, state, get
their money from the Feds. Huge amount of money comes
in from the Fed. So the Feds read the Trump
administration has enormous power. Well, look what happened to Harvard.
Look what happened to Columbia that just caved? Why because
(13:55):
of federal grant money?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, moving on, another hot spot breaks out. Thailand and
Cambodia have exchanged fire along their disputed border for a
second day. More than a dozen people have been killed.
More than one hundred thousand civilians have been evacuated from
the area. Tensions between the neighbors in Southeast Asia have
(14:17):
been boiling for months over disputed sections of their five
hundred mile long land border.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
How many people know that Thailand and Cambodia have a border?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I didn't together, no one. And assuming they have.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
A border and there are now skirmishes which have been
going on for decades, how many people care?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No one? So thank you for bringing that up in
the news.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Eight billion dollars approved the FCC has cleared the way
for Paramount Global to complete its merger with sky Dance Media.
Paramounts the parent company of CBS, so it's going to
be the new company is Paramount and CBS and Nickelodeon.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think Showtime, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And politics has nothing to do with this, because sky
Dance has committed to review complaints of editorial bias read
against crazy people who are conspiracy theorists and should be
that should be reported as news and so, and there
is a bias. There's a liberal bias. There's no question
(15:28):
in television, major media. But you know here's another one.
You do what we want, and if you do what
we want, this is getting rid of DEI and those programs,
then we have the power to do what you want.
And in this case, the merger was approved and it
was up in the air for a very long time,
(15:49):
and all of a sudden, you do what we want
you to do, and we will grant the permission for
the two companies to merge, the purchase to merge. And
then you have the FCC chairman. I think it's Brian Carr,
Brendan Carr, who is so biased because all these various
(16:15):
programs are left wing, radical programs, DEI programs. So those
are gone, by the way, and they used to be
a big part of media.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
They used to be a big.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Part of corporations. Gone gone, gone, got a public spat.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He had President Trump and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell
doing a little verbal back and forth yesterday as they
toured the renovations of the Fed's headquarters. The chairman has
corrected the President over some of his claims about cost overruns,
and did that while the cameras were rolling, and despite
pass threats to fire Powell over the project, saying it
(16:57):
was mismanaged, Trump left the Federal Reserve building and called
it a productive meeting and said he didn't see enough
to justify the chairman being terminated.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah, okay, a couple of things.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
First of all, he comes out, he whips out a
document I piece of paid per hands it to Powell.
He said, look all these overruns, look at what you
paid for this building that was five years ago.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You can include that in here.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So Trump was wrong on the numbers, and Powell called
him on it, and it was embarrassing. And I wonder
who is going to be fired or disciplined for handing
Trump those documents. Now, as far as keeping Powell, Trump
has no choice for two reasons.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Powell can only be removed for cause. That's it. And
so Trump has to prove.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
That Powell either was so negligent or cheated or whatever
for causes not easy to prove. And I'm assuming that
the financial people around Trump says, if you fire Jerome Powell,
the repercussions cross international markets will be devastating and you
(18:06):
will see markets all over the country just tank.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
So he said, Okay, not going to fire him.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You think he wants to though, yeah, he wants interest
rates to drop, and Paul saying no, will decide because well,
the FED makes that decision, and the President wants the
FED to be under his tutelage.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And it's just not the case, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The Fed's looking into a healthcare company, United health Group,
is facing criminal and civil investigations by the Department of Justice.
The company disclosed that yesterday. It said in an SEC
filing that it is complying with requests from the Department
of Justice. Whe's the company thrown into the spotlight after
(18:51):
United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in New York
and then it's New CEO abruptly left the company in May,
and The Wall Street Journal had reported also in May
that the Department of Justice's Healthcare Fraud Unit was investigating
possible Medicare fraud at the company.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, as the administration is arguing fraud and waste, and
I have issues with some of their allegations when it
comes to Medicare. Man, it doesn't even come close to
what the fraud actually is going on in Medicare.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Hundreds of billions of dollars. The fraud is extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's what's happening doctors, insurance companies.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I mean, it is crazy, crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Trump takes the spotlight on south Park. So South Park
kicked off its twenty seventh season last night with a
searing indictment of President Trump and its network's parent company, Paramount.
Of course, Paramount recently paid the President's sixteen million dollars
to settle that lawsuit that Trump brought against sixty Minutes
(19:58):
and then Paramount and last week the Late Show with
Stephen Colbert was being canceled. They say it was a
financial decision, but Colbert was a relentless critic of MAGA
policy and Trump. So the episodes called Sermon on the Mount,
and it opens with Cartman discovering that his favorite radio station,
NPR has been canceled. He said, the government can't cancel
(20:22):
a show, and then he drops sort of a self
referring joke about South Park's own vulnerability, saying, I mean,
what show are they going to cancel next?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Well, the decision of dropping Colbert does make financial sense
because late night, all of late night is losing money.
So I don't know if Colbert loses more money than
other shows in late night. So it's probably a combination
of politics. Is where's financial?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
But you know.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It doesn't matter. I mean the caving that's going on
is astounding. For sample of that lawsuit against sixty minutes,
which was senseless, it had no legal impact, it made
no sense whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
And Paramount caved on that.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Ooh, and it had nothing to do with the okay
of fccokaying the purchase of a paramount by sky Dance.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
No ifs ands or butts about it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
This guy is creepy.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
A man's been arrested, actually has been arrested multiple times
for sniffing women's rear ends while in public. Well, he
just got arrested again for it. Calise Crowder. He is
thirty eight years old. He was arrested by Burbank police
on Tuesday at a Walmart in the Empire Center, and
police apparently had responded to a Nordstrom rack because women
(21:54):
had said, this guy's sniffing our butts.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, but all he's doing is saying hello, the way
dogs do.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh, he's a what is that thing?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He's a ferbie? What are those? What are the what
are those?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
People who identify as animals?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, and dresses animals too, So you know it. Don't
knock it, all right, unless you've tried it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh, don't try it.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
You know, there's another there is another side of this.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I mean literally, there's another side of this, but that
would also get you in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It's creepy, it's all, and it's on like video. They
show him and he kind of he stands behind him
and then he sort of ducks down and you're like, oh, gross, Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
God, I've never I've never been caught. Thank god.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
All right, moving on, we lost the legend and what
we had first heard yesterday has been confirmed, and that
is that Hulk Hogan died of cardiac arrest. He passed
away yesterday morning in Clearwater, Florida. Paramedics were called to
the house and he was taken away on a stretcher.
(22:55):
But it had surgery. In June, he had next surgery
done and they were saying it was successful. But there's
been a lot of rumors circulating about how he was
doing after that. I know that, like TMZ had said
he was in a coma. His wife had denied that.
He's had several injuries during his wrestling wrestling career, a
(23:15):
lot of them with his back, which makes.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It yeah, I mean, this is what wrestlers do. I
mean his brutal stuff. I mean, they're all injured, and
whenever you do surgery, they do an EKG on you automatically.
They make sure that you're able to undergo the surgery.
Now does an EKG show let's say, an aneurysm, which
this isn't, or there was he had heart issues that
(23:39):
the EKG didn't show.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I mean, clearly.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
And I'm getting really paranoid because all of these people
about my age are completely popping off and all of
a sudden, I'm going, Holy moly. But here is what
I promised to do, and it's for our listeners because
you have asked me, and that is if I am
(24:01):
going to go, I will do it live on the air.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Hi, this is bill done. There's ratings. Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
The EPA may be eliminating climate change. The Trump administration
wants to overturn a two thousand and nine Environmental Protection
Agency finding. The EPA has put together a proposal that
would undo the government's Endangerment finding. It's a determination that
pollutants from burning fossil fuels, like carbon dioxide and methane
(24:39):
can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding
has long served as a foundation for a host of
policies and rules to address climate change.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
At one point, President Trump has said climate change or
the concept of climate change, is a hoax.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Has he ever back pedaled on that one.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I don't remember if he's ever come back and said, no,
it is real stuff. Now, as far as the APEPA
is concerned, all of the government's websites have yanked any
mention of climate change. That's just not part of the government.
And this is the part. I mean, that's kind of scary.
Do you know anybody that doesn't believe that climate change
(25:21):
is upon us? I mean, does anybody not believe it.
I mean, look what's going on. What happened this week
and last week. You have some of the worst storms
on the East Coast, the Eastern Seaboard in mid Us.
I mean record breaking rain two inches an hour and
flooding beyond comprehension, people dying.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
And I'm not talking.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
About just the Guadalupe River where you had those little
girls dying in the Mystic camp, but I'm talking about
floods all over the area where rivers crusted ten fifteen,
twenty feet above normal. And then the right now followed
by record breaking heat wave and humidity where you have
(26:07):
New York north of one hundred degrees, Washington north of
one hundred degrees and humidity on top of that, so
the heat index can go one fifteen one sixteen nuts.
I think New York with the heat index it's one
hundred and five, one hundred and six and the actual
temperature is ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But it is rough stuff, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Apparently no one's watching anyway. E News, the nightly pop
culture program that has helped define the cable network E
Entertainment TV, going away. The Comcast owned network informed the
staff at E News yesterday that they'll be taping their
final episode September twenty fifth. The channel's news operation will
(26:49):
continue to provide coverage online and they'll still do like
red carpet events at the Oscars and Golden Globes, and
they cover the People's Choice Awards, but the staff was
told that the E News audience prefers breaking entertainment coverage
throughout the day on social media instead of showing up
as scheduled at eleven o'clock Eastern each night for a
(27:09):
nightly live show on traditional TV.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Does anybody here watch E News or know of anybody
who watches E News?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
My friend Debbie does, all.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Right, So Debbie is not all there. Debie's special needs.
I understand that, and she enjoys E News. The point
is that it is complete, completely useless, and I.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Haven't watched it for years.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You used to before you could get all the information.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, but you know you got YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
You go to these various news outlets on the on
the internet.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's instant, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
For example, even though we have information I every two
minutes because I subcribe to see Ana and New York
Times their apps is I'm getting pings saying this is new,
this is new, this just happened, I mean seconds ago.
So so you know, why would you watch E news? Actually,
(28:05):
why would you read the newspaper? Although I read, you know,
the papers every day throughout the show. And I'm one
of those crazy people that actually read read the papers.
Sunday it's the La Times and the New York Times.
Saturday it's the Wall Street Journal, and Sunday is a
New York Times, and it is the La Times. Do
(28:28):
you know anybody who reads the paper, by the way,
who actually reads the newspaper?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, my friend Debbie.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Okay, there we go again.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And it's I'm old school, but there's just something about
holding on to the paper and then trying to fold
it and it doesn't fold very well and you have
to run your fingers up and down the middle of
the paper. And let's not forget going in and getting
a toasted bagel and streaks of ink all over the bagel.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I mean, there's just something wonderful about that.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I do miss the newspaper.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That's why I like books. I enjoy books. I like
the feel, the tactile sensation. Although I read most of
my books through the computer.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The Kindle.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Surprise Trump is suing the Justice Department has announced a
lawsuit against New York City's sanctuary city policies. The administration
blamed those policies for the shooting of an off duty
ice agent in Manhattan. The lawsuit is very similar to
the one that was filed last month against la Similar
(29:36):
lawsuits have also been filed against New York State, Colorado, Illinois,
City of Rochester, New York, and several cities in New Jersey.
It says that the government that New York City's policies
are designed to impede the federal government's ability to enforce
federal immigration laws, and goes on to say that New
York City has released thousands of criminals onto the streets
(29:57):
to commit violent crimes against law abiding citizens because of
its sanctuary policies.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Right, there are two issues in this One.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
One is just plain stupid, and that is the argument
that the government. Pambondi tries to sell us that all
crime is committed by illegal immigrants. There's no such thing
as crimes committed by an American citizen in this world
of the Trump administration. So she always PAGs on tags.
(30:27):
Look at this crime, Look who was murdered by an
illegal immigrant? So that part is just plain stupid. Now,
the part that it's not that may have some legs
is the argument that a sanctuary city not helping the
Feds enforced federal law that may be a violation in
and of itself, and that is part of the lawsuit,
(30:49):
and that's the one that's going up and I think
the Supreme Court is going to rule on that.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Does the city have the duty to cooperate with.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The Feds in dealing with immigration because of you've got
a constitutional issue, and that's the supremacy clause of the Constitution,
and that is federal law, Trump's state law, which Trump's
city law. And so the city passing its ordinance or
calling itself a sanctuary city is way at the bottom
(31:21):
of the heap. Also, is it an ordinance that is
past calling New York or Los Angeles or the state
of California a sanctuary city or is it just policy?
And that's a problem too. So this is a really
interesting case coming up. All right, I think we're done
(31:41):
with the news on that one. KFI Am sixty.
