Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well before we jump in, we have not did you
know that it was a national gay Pride month starting today?
Big business for stores selling BoA's and two twos.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Okay, moving on or Handle on the news.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Good morning. Everybody. Is a Wednesday morning, June, third day
after the primary election. And I don't know about you, man.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I was tired before, tired of what's going on politically,
and even more tired now. Interesting, I might add, but
I'll talk more about what happened at seven o'clock. Obviously
there'll be a recap. No big surprises, however, one moderately
surprising aspect of the erection, which maybe you'll agree or disagree.
(01:11):
All right, quick, good morning to the crowd. Uh there
is Amy, Good morning Amy, Hi Bill, Hi Cono?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Hello Bill?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh just just a T shirt today?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah? Yeah, suns out, guns out?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, very well said, very well said.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't know if the view with the camera or not,
but Cono has the moves, at least from what I
can see over here.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm saying from this view, Michelle, he has.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Is very fit.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Those are his pecks brouh.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, and just a quick word about that.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Since Michelle has been with me for so.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Long and twenty five years ago or when she started,
what we used to do is comment on the fact
that Michelle is abundantly endowed.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Is true. This is absolutely true.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And when we do the when we did promotion photos
which we have, we had Michelle's photos simply a picture
of the Grand Teton Mountains and she would sign Michelle
Cube KFI Radio. By the way, that's true. Okay, Neil,
(02:36):
good morning, not after that, sure, after that, after that,
will good morning, good morning Bill. And there's some great
stories about Michelle too. She's got some fabulous stories in
that range. At some point we have to share those stories.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Michelle, there's exactly one story about.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It is a fabulous story. Would you like to share
with your other hold off on that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It happened in the nineties when I was drinking quite
a bit and I got banned from Angel Stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
She got banned from Angel Stadium. And why do you
think she was banned from Angel Stadium?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I flashed somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
In the stands.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
No, I well, I flashed somebody on the field, that's right.
She was anyone in particular, I can't remember. I can't remember.
It might have been Chuck Finley when he was pitching.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
But it knocked out the second base coach. It really did.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And if you if you actually listened to the audio
that was recorded that day, you heard a lot of.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
My God, will look at those It wasn't caught on JumboTron.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It was caught on there are no cell phones.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The worst part about that is that I had to
leave the stadium, but my stupid boyfriend stayed and so
I had to wait outside the stadium for him.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
And that's the night that we broke up.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Because he was one of those guys who like put
down all the pitches and he tracks.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
The He sounds fun.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
No, it sounds like a lot of fun. Okay, I
said hello to everybody. Let me see, Amy, I did
say hello to you, didn't I you are obviously forgotten already.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Lindsey talks about how on this show, for the most part,
I'm focused except when I say hello to people. Uh,
And then the rest of the time I just don't
pay attention. I'll say something, and she said, I told
you three days ago. I told you yesterday, the day before,
for the last three days.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Did you listen? No, No, not at all. All right,
you guys ready to do it?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Sure, it's the day after election day, and of course,
uh we are doing the news with Amy Neil and me.
It is lead story. I was surprised, I thought was
that Steve Hilton actually got more votes, or at least
up to this point.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I mean, all the votes have not been counted.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
He got twenty seven percent, Besarah twenty five percent, give
or take. I'm going to say a few words about
that at seven o'clock because that says a whole lot
about what we are thinking and where we were going,
and an analogy to work at the same place we were,
was it six seven years ago? Stier came in third
(05:24):
with almost twenty percent. So Stier spent about fifteen eighteen
maybe twenty two dollars per vote, and Chad Bianco came
in with only eleven percent of the vote. So that's done.
That's finished on that one, and so we'll do a
lot more than that. The governor's race the mayor's race,
(05:45):
which are the two big races, and both those races
were covered nationally. Even the LA mayors race covered nationally much.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
More lugely on both Fox and Cenna.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's like the mayor's run for New York. It is
a big national story. Well, the mayor of either New
York or LA instantly becomes a national figure, or one
of the two, or both become national figures.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So we'll talk more about that.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Well, who to thunk Spencer's surging in the race for
LA mayor. Karen Bass has like thirty five percent of
the vote, and I said that's enough. She's going to
go to the runoffs. So the question is does Spencer
Pratt have enough to make it or could Nithia Ramans
still come back. Spencer Pratt has about thirty percent of
the vote right now. Nythia Rahman has twenty two percent.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, I think that's going to be tough for her
to come back. Maybe not though, you know, because mail
in ballots and there's huge number of mail in ballots.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yesterday I mailed in my ballot.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, actually I had to go to the post office
because I did it at the last moment, and so
went to the post office and dropped off the my
envelopes and because I was carrying so much stuff in
the post office to be mailed. I was holding both
of the envelopes with my teeth and there they had
(07:12):
teeth marks and spittle all over the envelopes. And as
the gal behind the counter took them, it was I
got a very interesting look. Just thought I share that
with you. Not that has anything to do with anything,
but you know, it's what happened yesterday.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
The teeth marks are different, but the spittle is pretty
much on everything you hold. All right, this was a
strange story. It's still going as far as I know.
You tell me Amy King if things have changed, but
you have we.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Are waiting for confirmation that things have changed.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Gotcha. So you have several buildings downtown Bakersfield on lockdown,
active bomb threat, hostage situation. You even have have, you know,
out of an abundance of caution, you have the city
Hall and the police headquarters among those that are on lockdown.
You've got the FBI Department of Homeland Security out there.
(08:12):
And this is just an unidentified man at this point
entered the bank and barricaded himself in there with an
unknown number of people. Some I think two hostages have
been released so far from the building. Everyone else.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Now up to nine nine that have been really nine
have been released, and they're just negotiating, right, well, they
were saying that they were negotiating. And what I'm waiting
for confirmation on is that a swat team may have
gone in and got him out this morning. But he
had like a what looked like a bomb strapped to
his chest.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And it started around one pm yesterday.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So it went overnight. And we'll get confirmation on that
as soon as we can and let you know.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But hold, what was the Alpachino movie where Dog Day Afternoon,
which is exactly what happened here.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Really, that's such a Yeah, it's a great movie.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's one of al Pacino's early films after he broke
out in The Godfather, and it was this situation exactly.
He goes in, holds a bunch of people, he's going
to rob the bank, but holds a bunch of people hostage,
and it was for his boyfriend to turn into his girlfriend,
if I'm not mistaken. And this was way way back
(09:29):
when where the concept of trans was and the surgery
was pretty risky at that time. Okay, I thought I'd share,
Oh we can do one more. Let's do one more
before take a break.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Scott Pelly sacked. CBS News has fired Scott Pelly. So
they had a meeting and things got pretty heated. So,
of course, Scott Pelley has been working for sixty minutes forever,
and they rather new executive producer. Nick Bilton was having
(10:03):
a meeting and said, you know the that what's her name? Weiss?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Serious?
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Yeah, CBS News editor in chief Barry Weiss loves this institution. Well,
that set Pelly off and he said, Weiss murdered sixty minutes.
He said, she does not love this place. She was
brought in to kill it and she's been doing exactly that.
And after that he was fired.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Fired, and I think he wanted to get fired.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm gonna do that story at eight o'clock and then
throwing a personal story about sixty minutes when I was
lucky enough to have a segment of sixty minutes done
on me in the mid eighties, and I'll give you
some inside baseball about that. Yeah, it's I practiced a lot,
putting a file in front of my face and running
out in the parking lot. Yes I did, okay, bills
(10:57):
coming down fourhead, yes, oh yes, all.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Right, us President Donald Trump said yesterday Monday, rather that
talks with Iran were ongoing. Here's the thing. He said,
talks are continuing at a rapid pace with the Islamic
Republic about Iran. And he said this untruth social because
that's where he does most of it. And he then
went on to say that he thinks we've been doing
(11:24):
too much talking, and if you want to know the truth,
he thinks going silent would be very good and that
could be for a long time. Separate interview with CNBC,
Trump had said that he didn't mind if the talks
were over. I don't care if they're over. Honestly, I
could care less. Interesting tact.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Rubio's getting grilled.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said when he
testified before Congress that President Trump's negotiating team has not
offered Iran's sanctions relief in exchange for reopening the Strait
of Hormuz, and insisted that any sanction relief was tied
to Tehran giving up its nuclear program. He said, Iran
is being sanctioned because they have highly enriched uranium. Iran
(12:15):
is being sanctioned because of their nuclear activities. If they
agree to give those things up. There will be sanctioned
relief associated with that commitment and compliance to those agreements.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
A lot of this in the sense that it's now
come to their nuclear program and that's it. And then
opening up the Strait of Hormuz. We really don't know. Yeah,
it's a free waterway. I'm going to assume we're going
to go back to that, and then we want to
see that nuclear program reduced or given up entirely.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No more even mention.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Of supporting terrorists to organizations throughout the world that's off
the table, building their roans and ballistic missiles, those manufacturing sites,
no more mentioned to that.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
That's all gone.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Wow, always about the it wasn't it always about the
nuclear weapons, and then the strait came in later, and
but that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
No, the attack initially, the attack initially was certainly about
nuclear weapons, but it was also about the other litany
of issues that the United States wanted the support of
Risbola and other proxy terrorists organizations that was important. Regime
change was part of it, and the President of course
says we have regime change. When the senior leadership of
(13:43):
around was taken out, we have regime regime change. You're going,
what different regime, no different leadership. It's like if God forbid,
our president is assassinated and the vice president comes in,
that's regime change.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's still the same sit it's just different people. And
so that was off the table, and then all of that.
Then we have then the ballistics, the manufacturing, the use
of drones, all of that was part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
That's all disappeared.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now we're back simply to nuclear weapons enrichment, and we'll
see what happens with that one. Oh, in the Strait
of Hormuz is now controlled by the US, as if
the Iranians have nothing to do with closing the straight
That's weird, although at the same time, well, there's a
lot of contradictions and no surprise there.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
In terms of the US.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Rubio does a pretty good job by the way of
considering he has to do what the president wants him
to do, which cabinet members must do.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
They work for the president.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
He's probably the most rational voice out there for the
presidency or for the administration.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Representative Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat here in Los Angeles, being
instigated by the House Ethics Committee over allegations of sexual misconduct.
So this is a report that came out yesterday. Three
unnamed sources told CNN that Gomez, being investigated by the
Committee Panels Panel, has not confirmed or commented at all
(15:20):
on this supposed report. Kind of goes back sometimes years ago.
He said, years ago, he made some personal mistakes outside
of his marriage and that have caused real pain to
his wife and family. Although my actions were consensual in
nature and haven't violated any law or House ethics rule.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Apparently I don't understand kissing. I don't understand aid of somebody.
I don't understand no, not his aid. I don't understand
how plutish we have become here he is he is
ostensibly kissing, maybe stooping, a staffer who works for another
congress person, of which he didn't have the ability, I
guess to make any decisions, and therefore sexual misconduct. Explain
(16:03):
to me what the sexual misconduct is when you have
two consenting adults, granted one of them is married or not.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
How about it's nobody's business.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And for him and all these politicians to say I
made mistakes is between me and my wife, and I've
caused great harm. How about it's none of your business. Okay,
you can talk to me about my voting record. You
can talk to me if there was an issue of
a subordinate does it.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Become an ethics issue?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Uh, it's but it's beyond that.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It's sexual misconduct under any circumstances. Ethics means you can't
have sex with someone who is not your wife. Okay,
that's great us. At some point, is it ever nobody's business?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
This is part of.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Their business though, because it was an aid, so it
really is. It was an aid for somebody else.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
But that's right, it is amazing somebody else. That's the problem.
If it was his aid, you have an argument, gotcha,
but someone else? Come on, what if it wasn't even
an age? What if he was stopping the gal behind
the counter at a Jack in the box while he
was married? Does that come out to yike? That's like
a takshow.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Host leavin his wife for a listener.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Hello, a gender reveal party is going to cost millions.
You know that the gender reveal parties are so popular,
But this one went tragically wrong. It sparked a major
wildfire that led to the death of a firefighter three
companies have now agreed to pay more than four million
(17:40):
dollars for their role in the fire. It happened in
U Kuipa, part in a park in U Kaipa, And
if you'll remember, it was in twenty twenty and a
couple used a pyrotechnic that was supposed to put out
either blue or pink smoke, but the device ended up
setting off the El Dorado fire that burned nearly twenty
(18:01):
three thousand acres, damaged or destroyed nine buildings, and killed
us for a service wildland firefighter.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yikes, yikes? How many of these has there been? Though?
There's been explosions, there's been fires, there's been can't you.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Just cut the cake in it's either blue or pink inside?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah? You know, it's interesting with these people.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I mean, I mean it's almost like, guess what, you know,
you're that stupid?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, then do it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It's like kids who the fireworks and they blow their
hands off. Oh my god, that's horrible. That's horrible. You
know what, you got to take some responsibility for this too.
Now they're arguing a lawsuit because it blew up or
it shouldn't have, and the city because it allowed it.
I just want some responsibility there and it never happens,
(18:48):
all right.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I saw this come over the wire yesterday. Sad legendary
singer songwriter pbo bryce And has died. He was seventy five,
which seems young by today's standards.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, no kidding, was something something went on wrong? Obviously?
Yeah he had he had a stroke and just yeah,
that comes out of the blue.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
What a voice though?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Oh yeah, you know, no one, I didn't know his name.
I don't know, No, I know, I didn't know his name.
I didn't know who people was or Piabo. I didn't
know his name. But as soon as you talk about
his voice and what he's saying, Beauty and the Beast,
it's a whole new world, all of these R and
B classics, you instantly obviously know who he was. But anyway,
(19:33):
it's uh man, what a talent.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, what a talent.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Speaking of talent, as if Garth Brooks didn't have enough
money already, he said years and years ago that he
had more money than his children's children's children's children could
ever spend. Well, now he is considering a sale of
his catalog. About two billion dollars is what he's looking for.
To get the rights to his songs and recordings. It
(19:59):
would be among the largest deals for an individual artist
or group catalog. He's been looking at doing this for
a few years. Recently told some investors he's one of
the few artists of his level of fame who has
not sold and is considering it. Of course, he's behind
Friends in Low Places, Shameless, the Dance and tons more songs.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, when you look at the numbers, I mean, this
is astronomical, more than why he's asking more than two billion,
but they figure that, well, you put it this way,
was it? Queen's catalog sold for more than a billion
dollars in twenty twenty four, And I think Queen would
be worth more because the music goes across a large
(20:43):
segment that maybe Garth Brooks doesn't. I mean, it's basically
country music. And do you if you remember that the
Beatles publishing and ownership of their rights for the early Beatles,
they were selling half of it for seventy five million
dollars and Michael Jackson bought that that half for seventy
(21:06):
five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Paul McCartney bit on it.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
And he thought seventy five million dollars was too much,
and McCartney rude the day. He said, oh my god,
and I think he ended up buying the last half.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
So what does that mean. It just gives them the
rights to.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, they own the song. Yeah, they just owned the song.
They own the publishing. For example, when you hear a
commercial with an old song that goes to the publisher.
When on radio, when you hear any one of these
songs played, I mean, when's the last time you heard
a major song not being played on radio stations? I
(21:42):
mean I listened to the song as an easy listening
station and I hear basically the same song over and
over again Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. So it's two
billion dollars. I mean that is completely insane. Oh a
quick word. I was talking this story came out. I
was talking to Lindsay, who is a Garth Brooks fan.
She went to a Garth Brooks concert. He was four
(22:03):
hours late. Four hours.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
I thought you were going to say he played for
four hours.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I've seen him twice and he played for three hours.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
He wasn't late when I saw him, But that was
way and then that was back in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That's what she said, and he has a he's notorious
for being late. From what I understand, I'm telling you
maybe Lindsay made it up.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Lindsay quit making stuff up.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah she made She makes up a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
To be honest with you, just to assuage my guilt
and feelings.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Although you know there are people that show up.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Late, there are he does put on a fabulous, fast, fabulous.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Everybody everybody today puts on three hours with no opening acts.
Do you know when the Beatles first came out and
you would go to or anybody would go to a
Beatles concept concert? You know how long those concerts were?
Ten minutes, now, thirty minutes, twenty seriously, twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
To thirty minutes.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Wow, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That was it. They come out.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I saw McCartney. He did at least three hours.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Oh yeah, no, he was. He was absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
One of my great regrets in my life is going
to see the not going to see the Beatles when
prices were actually reasonable. I should have gone to I
think they did Dodger Stadium. I know they did Hollywood Bowl. Anyway,
moving on.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
All right, out back the steakhouse. We all know and
love a Virginia woman is seeking one point five million
dollars for what being hitting in the face with a
hot bluemin onion. Nope, she slipped on mashed potatoes, fell
faith first. That sounds horrible, Uh, but you know she's
(23:44):
saying that she has, you know, all kinds of lasting
issues and.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, no, she fell straight on her on her face.
I can understand there's some you can do some big damage.
But here is a legal aspect of this. She is
suing the steakhouse out back for negligence because the mashed
potatoes were on the floor and she's arguing that they
should have known and should have cleaned it up. And
they're going to argue, it just happened beforehand. What did
(24:13):
we do that is negligent? We weren't told. It just
happened before. Let's going into a supermarket. I slipped on
a banana peel. You should have known, well the banana
peel was, it was ten minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Now? There's an argument that there should be someone walking
around looking at what could cause a slip. It's a
better argument against a restaurant. But again they're saying, you
know what, someone's build their mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Wait, here's the weird thing. Would it be in the
location it was apparently by a bathroom.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Is that a server that spilled it? Or is that
it doesn't matter? I don't think it matters on that one.
It doesn't matter. It was the fact that the mashed
potatoes were on the ground. Also, I think the restaurant
has a big, big problem when it's going to them
out that when the order was taken and she was asked,
do you want your mashed potatoes on the floor or
on your plate?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Therein lies the rub okay.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Scrapping the fund. Acting Attorney General Todd blanche says the
Trump administration is scrapping plans to create the one point
seven seven six billion dollar fund to compensate people who
they say were targeted by the Biden administration. It's that
anti weaponization fund that everybody had a fit about.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, this avoid of the Trump administration missed the boat
on that one, underestimating the pushback that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I mean everybody.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
There were a few congress people and senators who would
have backed it up, but the leadership but just said
you can't do that. I mean, you cannot leave open
paying people who overran our capital and tried to an election,
and that was just a bridge too far in the
(26:05):
red sand.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Never mind, you know what's worse than paying them out
of a slush fund, hiring them as an employee and
paying them every two weeks. So the Trump administration has
hired a convicted January sixth rioter to work at the
Pentagon's office that oversees sensitive special operations and what they
(26:33):
referred to as a regular warfare matters. Elias Irizari is
what I'm going with. He was nineteen at the time
when he participated in the attack, and actually he pleaded
guilty to entering in remaining in a restricted building or grounds,
was sentenced to fourteen days in prison.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But now he got a job at the Pentagon and
he apologized. So how does this happen? Oh, it's real simple.
Keep in mind, the underlying premise is that every one
of those people who was prosecuted or accused or went
to jail of overrunning the capitol and causing harm and
you attacking police officer, they were all patriots, right, every
(27:17):
one of them were patriots, and they were held hostile.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Was accused of any of that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Okay, now, hold on hold on, no, no, no, I
want to go to a point. And so this is
akin to hiring a veteran that you give a veteran precedence,
you give extra points to a veteran whenever hiring in government.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
And this is it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
If you were one of the January sixth defendants, you are,
you should get more, You should get more consideration than
someone who is not, because look at this, you were.
You were a hero, a patriot trying to undo an
unconstitutional rigged election. That's the craziness here, that's the craziness.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I mean, I where do you go with this?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
But the good news is they shut it down. Todd Blanche,
Oh they're still defending it. By the way, Todd Blanche is.
No one is saying in the administration, Okay, maybe we overstepped.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
He said, oh there was there was a weaponization, but
we're not going forward. Why because we're not going forward.
That's why.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
George Santos, remember he he got himself in little trouble.
He was former US representative. Well, he has been betting
on himself, apparently prediction marks prediction market Calci reported Santos
to federal prosecutors after he boasted that he would be
going to President Trump's State of the Union address and
(28:48):
then he bet against his own attendance.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And he didn't show up.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Imagine that.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Imagine yeah, of course he did. Now what I find
interesting is he's even talking to prosecutors. These are federal prosecutors.
This is a guy who was pardoned by the president,
and why would they even go forward? For example, Tom Homan,
who is the immigration Zar. They have video of him
(29:16):
with cash being handed over video and Pam Bondi, the
Eternal General, has asked about that. She says, We've done
the investigation and there is no evidence there. So when
you're on the side of the administration, what's going to happen?
He was pardoned by the president for his craziness when
(29:36):
he ran for office, and he lied through his teeth
about that that what he was just a bogus total
bogus resume. All right, I think we have time for
one more and this is good news. And Amy is
really excited about. Let Amy do this one because this
is an Amy topic.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Okay, they're animals, Amy.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
I know, I'm just aftah.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Depending on our audience their dinner. Okay, moving on, Amy,
why don't you give us the good news.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Okay, The Great Beagle Rescue of Wisconsin continues as animal
rights groups say they plan to remove more dogs from
a medical research facility. It's called Ridgeland Farms. They agreed
to allow animal rights groups to remove one hundred and
thirty five beagles from the facility, on top of the
(30:23):
fifteen hundred dogs that have already been removed and relocated.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, it's not that they were treated poorly. I don't
think that's the accusation. It's just that the emimeral medical
research place.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, and that is well.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Again, keep in mind, I'm going to give you the
other side of the coin on this one, because when
you look at these things, they are these beagles are
so adorable being held up and hugging and I mean
just you love it. You love this story and it's
being covered all over the place. But when new drugs
come out to save human beings, they have to go
(30:58):
the pharmaceutical companies have to go through animal testing. And
do you not now, and no one cares about mice.
You can kill all the mice you want, but when
it comes to animal testing with these beagles, I.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Don't know what happens. And they kill them.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Afterwards, and I sometimes yeah, and I don't know the answer,
but when you look at how utterly cute and you go,
how can you do this?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Well?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And you know why they they use beagles, right because
beagles they don't fight back, Like beagles are the calmest
dogs and they can do almost anything to them and
they don't fight back.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
That's okay, I would you will?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeahs yeah, yeah, I'm never eating at a Korean restaurant again. Okay,
we are done. Coming up the election recap, We'll do
that right here. Kf I A M.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Six. You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Catch My Show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
and any time on demand on the iHeartRadio app
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well before we jump in, we have not did you
know that it was a national gay Pride month starting today?
Big business for stores selling BoA's and two twos.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Okay, moving on or Handle on the news.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Good morning. Everybody. Is a Wednesday morning, June, third day
after the primary election. And I don't know about you, man.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I was tired before, tired of what's going on politically,
and even more tired now. Interesting, I might add, but
I'll talk more about what happened at seven o'clock. Obviously
there'll be a recap. No big surprises, however, one moderately
surprising aspect of the erection, which maybe you'll agree or disagree.
(01:11):
All right, quick, good morning to the crowd. Uh there
is Amy, Good morning Amy, Hi Bill, Hi Cono?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Hello Bill?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh just just a T shirt today?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah? Yeah, suns out, guns out?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, very well said, very well said.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't know if the view with the camera or not,
but Cono has the moves, at least from what I
can see over here.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm saying from this view, Michelle, he has.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Is very fit.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Those are his pecks brouh.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, and just a quick word about that.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Since Michelle has been with me for so.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Long and twenty five years ago or when she started,
what we used to do is comment on the fact
that Michelle is abundantly endowed.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Is true. This is absolutely true.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And when we do the when we did promotion photos
which we have, we had Michelle's photos simply a picture
of the Grand Teton Mountains and she would sign Michelle
Cube KFI Radio. By the way, that's true. Okay, Neil,
(02:36):
good morning, not after that, sure, after that, after that,
will good morning, good morning Bill. And there's some great
stories about Michelle too. She's got some fabulous stories in
that range. At some point we have to share those stories.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Michelle, there's exactly one story about.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It is a fabulous story. Would you like to share
with your other hold off on that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It happened in the nineties when I was drinking quite
a bit and I got banned from Angel Stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
She got banned from Angel Stadium. And why do you
think she was banned from Angel Stadium?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I flashed somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
In the stands.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
No, I well, I flashed somebody on the field, that's right.
She was anyone in particular, I can't remember. I can't remember.
It might have been Chuck Finley when he was pitching.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
But it knocked out the second base coach. It really did.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And if you if you actually listened to the audio
that was recorded that day, you heard a lot of.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
My God, will look at those It wasn't caught on JumboTron.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It was caught on there are no cell phones.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The worst part about that is that I had to
leave the stadium, but my stupid boyfriend stayed and so
I had to wait outside the stadium for him.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
And that's the night that we broke up.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Because he was one of those guys who like put
down all the pitches and he tracks.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
The He sounds fun.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
No, it sounds like a lot of fun. Okay, I
said hello to everybody. Let me see, Amy, I did
say hello to you, didn't I you are obviously forgotten already.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Lindsey talks about how on this show, for the most part,
I'm focused except when I say hello to people. Uh,
And then the rest of the time I just don't
pay attention. I'll say something, and she said, I told
you three days ago. I told you yesterday, the day before,
for the last three days.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Did you listen? No, No, not at all. All right,
you guys ready to do it?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Sure, it's the day after election day, and of course,
uh we are doing the news with Amy Neil and me.
It is lead story. I was surprised, I thought was
that Steve Hilton actually got more votes, or at least
up to this point.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I mean, all the votes have not been counted.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
He got twenty seven percent, Besarah twenty five percent, give
or take. I'm going to say a few words about
that at seven o'clock because that says a whole lot
about what we are thinking and where we were going,
and an analogy to work at the same place we were,
was it six seven years ago? Stier came in third
(05:24):
with almost twenty percent. So Stier spent about fifteen eighteen
maybe twenty two dollars per vote, and Chad Bianco came
in with only eleven percent of the vote. So that's done.
That's finished on that one, and so we'll do a
lot more than that. The governor's race the mayor's race,
(05:45):
which are the two big races, and both those races
were covered nationally. Even the LA mayors race covered nationally much.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
More lugely on both Fox and Cenna.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's like the mayor's run for New York. It is
a big national story. Well, the mayor of either New
York or LA instantly becomes a national figure, or one
of the two, or both become national figures.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So we'll talk more about that.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Well, who to thunk Spencer's surging in the race for
LA mayor. Karen Bass has like thirty five percent of
the vote, and I said that's enough. She's going to
go to the runoffs. So the question is does Spencer
Pratt have enough to make it or could Nithia Ramans
still come back. Spencer Pratt has about thirty percent of
the vote right now. Nythia Rahman has twenty two percent.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, I think that's going to be tough for her
to come back. Maybe not though, you know, because mail
in ballots and there's huge number of mail in ballots.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yesterday I mailed in my ballot.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, actually I had to go to the post office
because I did it at the last moment, and so
went to the post office and dropped off the my
envelopes and because I was carrying so much stuff in
the post office to be mailed. I was holding both
of the envelopes with my teeth and there they had
(07:12):
teeth marks and spittle all over the envelopes. And as
the gal behind the counter took them, it was I
got a very interesting look. Just thought I share that
with you. Not that has anything to do with anything,
but you know, it's what happened yesterday.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
The teeth marks are different, but the spittle is pretty
much on everything you hold. All right, this was a
strange story. It's still going as far as I know.
You tell me Amy King if things have changed, but
you have we.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Are waiting for confirmation that things have changed.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Gotcha. So you have several buildings downtown Bakersfield on lockdown,
active bomb threat, hostage situation. You even have have, you know,
out of an abundance of caution, you have the city
Hall and the police headquarters among those that are on lockdown.
You've got the FBI Department of Homeland Security out there.
(08:12):
And this is just an unidentified man at this point
entered the bank and barricaded himself in there with an
unknown number of people. Some I think two hostages have
been released so far from the building. Everyone else.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Now up to nine nine that have been really nine
have been released, and they're just negotiating, right, well, they
were saying that they were negotiating. And what I'm waiting
for confirmation on is that a swat team may have
gone in and got him out this morning. But he
had like a what looked like a bomb strapped to
his chest.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And it started around one pm yesterday.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So it went overnight. And we'll get confirmation on that
as soon as we can and let you know.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But hold, what was the Alpachino movie where Dog Day Afternoon,
which is exactly what happened here.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Really, that's such a Yeah, it's a great movie.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's one of al Pacino's early films after he broke
out in The Godfather, and it was this situation exactly.
He goes in, holds a bunch of people, he's going
to rob the bank, but holds a bunch of people hostage,
and it was for his boyfriend to turn into his girlfriend,
if I'm not mistaken. And this was way way back
(09:29):
when where the concept of trans was and the surgery
was pretty risky at that time. Okay, I thought I'd share,
Oh we can do one more. Let's do one more
before take a break.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Scott Pelly sacked. CBS News has fired Scott Pelly. So
they had a meeting and things got pretty heated. So,
of course, Scott Pelley has been working for sixty minutes forever,
and they rather new executive producer. Nick Bilton was having
(10:03):
a meeting and said, you know the that what's her name? Weiss?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Serious?
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Yeah, CBS News editor in chief Barry Weiss loves this institution. Well,
that set Pelly off and he said, Weiss murdered sixty minutes.
He said, she does not love this place. She was
brought in to kill it and she's been doing exactly that.
And after that he was fired.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Fired, and I think he wanted to get fired.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm gonna do that story at eight o'clock and then
throwing a personal story about sixty minutes when I was
lucky enough to have a segment of sixty minutes done
on me in the mid eighties, and I'll give you
some inside baseball about that. Yeah, it's I practiced a lot,
putting a file in front of my face and running
out in the parking lot. Yes I did, okay, bills
(10:57):
coming down fourhead, yes, oh yes, all.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Right, us President Donald Trump said yesterday Monday, rather that
talks with Iran were ongoing. Here's the thing. He said,
talks are continuing at a rapid pace with the Islamic
Republic about Iran. And he said this untruth social because
that's where he does most of it. And he then
went on to say that he thinks we've been doing
(11:24):
too much talking, and if you want to know the truth,
he thinks going silent would be very good and that
could be for a long time. Separate interview with CNBC,
Trump had said that he didn't mind if the talks
were over. I don't care if they're over. Honestly, I
could care less. Interesting tact.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Rubio's getting grilled.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said when he
testified before Congress that President Trump's negotiating team has not
offered Iran's sanctions relief in exchange for reopening the Strait
of Hormuz, and insisted that any sanction relief was tied
to Tehran giving up its nuclear program. He said, Iran
is being sanctioned because they have highly enriched uranium. Iran
(12:15):
is being sanctioned because of their nuclear activities. If they
agree to give those things up. There will be sanctioned
relief associated with that commitment and compliance to those agreements.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
A lot of this in the sense that it's now
come to their nuclear program and that's it. And then
opening up the Strait of Hormuz. We really don't know. Yeah,
it's a free waterway. I'm going to assume we're going
to go back to that, and then we want to
see that nuclear program reduced or given up entirely.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No more even mention.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Of supporting terrorists to organizations throughout the world that's off
the table, building their roans and ballistic missiles, those manufacturing sites,
no more mentioned to that.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
That's all gone.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Wow, always about the it wasn't it always about the
nuclear weapons, and then the strait came in later, and
but that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
No, the attack initially, the attack initially was certainly about
nuclear weapons, but it was also about the other litany
of issues that the United States wanted the support of
Risbola and other proxy terrorists organizations that was important. Regime
change was part of it, and the President of course
says we have regime change. When the senior leadership of
(13:43):
around was taken out, we have regime regime change. You're going,
what different regime, no different leadership. It's like if God forbid,
our president is assassinated and the vice president comes in,
that's regime change.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's still the same sit it's just different people. And
so that was off the table, and then all of that.
Then we have then the ballistics, the manufacturing, the use
of drones, all of that was part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
That's all disappeared.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now we're back simply to nuclear weapons enrichment, and we'll
see what happens with that one. Oh, in the Strait
of Hormuz is now controlled by the US, as if
the Iranians have nothing to do with closing the straight
That's weird, although at the same time, well, there's a
lot of contradictions and no surprise there.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
In terms of the US.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Rubio does a pretty good job by the way of
considering he has to do what the president wants him
to do, which cabinet members must do.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
They work for the president.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
He's probably the most rational voice out there for the
presidency or for the administration.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Representative Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat here in Los Angeles, being
instigated by the House Ethics Committee over allegations of sexual misconduct.
So this is a report that came out yesterday. Three
unnamed sources told CNN that Gomez, being investigated by the
Committee Panels Panel, has not confirmed or commented at all
(15:20):
on this supposed report. Kind of goes back sometimes years ago.
He said, years ago, he made some personal mistakes outside
of his marriage and that have caused real pain to
his wife and family. Although my actions were consensual in
nature and haven't violated any law or House ethics rule.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Apparently I don't understand kissing. I don't understand aid of somebody.
I don't understand no, not his aid. I don't understand
how plutish we have become here he is he is
ostensibly kissing, maybe stooping, a staffer who works for another
congress person, of which he didn't have the ability, I
guess to make any decisions, and therefore sexual misconduct. Explain
(16:03):
to me what the sexual misconduct is when you have
two consenting adults, granted one of them is married or not.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
How about it's nobody's business.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And for him and all these politicians to say I
made mistakes is between me and my wife, and I've
caused great harm. How about it's none of your business. Okay,
you can talk to me about my voting record. You
can talk to me if there was an issue of
a subordinate does it.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Become an ethics issue?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Uh, it's but it's beyond that.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It's sexual misconduct under any circumstances. Ethics means you can't
have sex with someone who is not your wife. Okay,
that's great us. At some point, is it ever nobody's business?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
This is part of.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Their business though, because it was an aid, so it
really is. It was an aid for somebody else.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
But that's right, it is amazing somebody else. That's the problem.
If it was his aid, you have an argument, gotcha,
but someone else? Come on, what if it wasn't even
an age? What if he was stopping the gal behind
the counter at a Jack in the box while he
was married? Does that come out to yike? That's like
a takshow.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Host leavin his wife for a listener.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Hello, a gender reveal party is going to cost millions.
You know that the gender reveal parties are so popular,
But this one went tragically wrong. It sparked a major
wildfire that led to the death of a firefighter three
companies have now agreed to pay more than four million
(17:40):
dollars for their role in the fire. It happened in
U Kuipa, part in a park in U Kaipa, And
if you'll remember, it was in twenty twenty and a
couple used a pyrotechnic that was supposed to put out
either blue or pink smoke, but the device ended up
setting off the El Dorado fire that burned nearly twenty
(18:01):
three thousand acres, damaged or destroyed nine buildings, and killed
us for a service wildland firefighter.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yikes, yikes? How many of these has there been? Though?
There's been explosions, there's been fires, there's been can't you.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Just cut the cake in it's either blue or pink inside?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah? You know, it's interesting with these people.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I mean, I mean it's almost like, guess what, you know,
you're that stupid?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, then do it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It's like kids who the fireworks and they blow their
hands off. Oh my god, that's horrible. That's horrible. You
know what, you got to take some responsibility for this too.
Now they're arguing a lawsuit because it blew up or
it shouldn't have, and the city because it allowed it.
I just want some responsibility there and it never happens,
(18:48):
all right.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I saw this come over the wire yesterday. Sad legendary
singer songwriter pbo bryce And has died. He was seventy five,
which seems young by today's standards.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, no kidding, was something something went on wrong? Obviously?
Yeah he had he had a stroke and just yeah,
that comes out of the blue.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
What a voice though?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Oh yeah, you know, no one, I didn't know his name.
I don't know, No, I know, I didn't know his name.
I didn't know who people was or Piabo. I didn't
know his name. But as soon as you talk about
his voice and what he's saying, Beauty and the Beast,
it's a whole new world, all of these R and
B classics, you instantly obviously know who he was. But anyway,
(19:33):
it's uh man, what a talent.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, what a talent.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Speaking of talent, as if Garth Brooks didn't have enough
money already, he said years and years ago that he
had more money than his children's children's children's children could
ever spend. Well, now he is considering a sale of
his catalog. About two billion dollars is what he's looking for.
To get the rights to his songs and recordings. It
(19:59):
would be among the largest deals for an individual artist
or group catalog. He's been looking at doing this for
a few years. Recently told some investors he's one of
the few artists of his level of fame who has
not sold and is considering it. Of course, he's behind
Friends in Low Places, Shameless, the Dance and tons more songs.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, when you look at the numbers, I mean, this
is astronomical, more than why he's asking more than two billion,
but they figure that, well, you put it this way,
was it? Queen's catalog sold for more than a billion
dollars in twenty twenty four, And I think Queen would
be worth more because the music goes across a large
(20:43):
segment that maybe Garth Brooks doesn't. I mean, it's basically
country music. And do you if you remember that the
Beatles publishing and ownership of their rights for the early Beatles,
they were selling half of it for seventy five million
dollars and Michael Jackson bought that that half for seventy
(21:06):
five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Paul McCartney bit on it.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
And he thought seventy five million dollars was too much,
and McCartney rude the day. He said, oh my god,
and I think he ended up buying the last half.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
So what does that mean. It just gives them the
rights to.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, they own the song. Yeah, they just owned the song.
They own the publishing. For example, when you hear a
commercial with an old song that goes to the publisher.
When on radio, when you hear any one of these
songs played, I mean, when's the last time you heard
a major song not being played on radio stations? I
(21:42):
mean I listened to the song as an easy listening
station and I hear basically the same song over and
over again Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. So it's two
billion dollars. I mean that is completely insane. Oh a
quick word. I was talking this story came out. I
was talking to Lindsay, who is a Garth Brooks fan.
She went to a Garth Brooks concert. He was four
(22:03):
hours late. Four hours.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
I thought you were going to say he played for
four hours.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I've seen him twice and he played for three hours.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
He wasn't late when I saw him, But that was
way and then that was back in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That's what she said, and he has a he's notorious
for being late. From what I understand, I'm telling you
maybe Lindsay made it up.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Lindsay quit making stuff up.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah she made She makes up a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
To be honest with you, just to assuage my guilt
and feelings.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Although you know there are people that show up.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Late, there are he does put on a fabulous, fast, fabulous.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Everybody everybody today puts on three hours with no opening acts.
Do you know when the Beatles first came out and
you would go to or anybody would go to a
Beatles concept concert? You know how long those concerts were?
Ten minutes, now, thirty minutes, twenty seriously, twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
To thirty minutes.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Wow, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That was it. They come out.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I saw McCartney. He did at least three hours.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Oh yeah, no, he was. He was absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
One of my great regrets in my life is going
to see the not going to see the Beatles when
prices were actually reasonable. I should have gone to I
think they did Dodger Stadium. I know they did Hollywood Bowl. Anyway,
moving on.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
All right, out back the steakhouse. We all know and
love a Virginia woman is seeking one point five million
dollars for what being hitting in the face with a
hot bluemin onion. Nope, she slipped on mashed potatoes, fell
faith first. That sounds horrible, Uh, but you know she's
(23:44):
saying that she has, you know, all kinds of lasting
issues and.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, no, she fell straight on her on her face.
I can understand there's some you can do some big damage.
But here is a legal aspect of this. She is
suing the steakhouse out back for negligence because the mashed
potatoes were on the floor and she's arguing that they
should have known and should have cleaned it up. And
they're going to argue, it just happened beforehand. What did
(24:13):
we do that is negligent? We weren't told. It just
happened before. Let's going into a supermarket. I slipped on
a banana peel. You should have known, well the banana
peel was, it was ten minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Now? There's an argument that there should be someone walking
around looking at what could cause a slip. It's a
better argument against a restaurant. But again they're saying, you
know what, someone's build their mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Wait, here's the weird thing. Would it be in the
location it was apparently by a bathroom.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Is that a server that spilled it? Or is that
it doesn't matter? I don't think it matters on that one.
It doesn't matter. It was the fact that the mashed
potatoes were on the ground. Also, I think the restaurant
has a big, big problem when it's going to them
out that when the order was taken and she was asked,
do you want your mashed potatoes on the floor or
on your plate?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Therein lies the rub okay.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Scrapping the fund. Acting Attorney General Todd blanche says the
Trump administration is scrapping plans to create the one point
seven seven six billion dollar fund to compensate people who
they say were targeted by the Biden administration. It's that
anti weaponization fund that everybody had a fit about.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, this avoid of the Trump administration missed the boat
on that one, underestimating the pushback that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I mean everybody.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
There were a few congress people and senators who would
have backed it up, but the leadership but just said
you can't do that. I mean, you cannot leave open
paying people who overran our capital and tried to an election,
and that was just a bridge too far in the
(26:05):
red sand.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Never mind, you know what's worse than paying them out
of a slush fund, hiring them as an employee and
paying them every two weeks. So the Trump administration has
hired a convicted January sixth rioter to work at the
Pentagon's office that oversees sensitive special operations and what they
(26:33):
referred to as a regular warfare matters. Elias Irizari is
what I'm going with. He was nineteen at the time
when he participated in the attack, and actually he pleaded
guilty to entering in remaining in a restricted building or grounds,
was sentenced to fourteen days in prison.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But now he got a job at the Pentagon and
he apologized. So how does this happen? Oh, it's real simple.
Keep in mind, the underlying premise is that every one
of those people who was prosecuted or accused or went
to jail of overrunning the capitol and causing harm and
you attacking police officer, they were all patriots, right, every
(27:17):
one of them were patriots, and they were held hostile.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Was accused of any of that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Okay, now, hold on hold on, no, no, no, I
want to go to a point. And so this is
akin to hiring a veteran that you give a veteran precedence,
you give extra points to a veteran whenever hiring in government.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
And this is it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
If you were one of the January sixth defendants, you are,
you should get more, You should get more consideration than
someone who is not, because look at this, you were.
You were a hero, a patriot trying to undo an
unconstitutional rigged election. That's the craziness here, that's the craziness.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I mean, I where do you go with this?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
But the good news is they shut it down. Todd Blanche,
Oh they're still defending it. By the way, Todd Blanche is.
No one is saying in the administration, Okay, maybe we overstepped.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
He said, oh there was there was a weaponization, but
we're not going forward. Why because we're not going forward.
That's why.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
George Santos, remember he he got himself in little trouble.
He was former US representative. Well, he has been betting
on himself, apparently prediction marks prediction market Calci reported Santos
to federal prosecutors after he boasted that he would be
going to President Trump's State of the Union address and
(28:48):
then he bet against his own attendance.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And he didn't show up.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Imagine that.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Imagine yeah, of course he did. Now what I find
interesting is he's even talking to prosecutors. These are federal prosecutors.
This is a guy who was pardoned by the president,
and why would they even go forward? For example, Tom Homan,
who is the immigration Zar. They have video of him
(29:16):
with cash being handed over video and Pam Bondi, the
Eternal General, has asked about that. She says, We've done
the investigation and there is no evidence there. So when
you're on the side of the administration, what's going to happen?
He was pardoned by the president for his craziness when
(29:36):
he ran for office, and he lied through his teeth
about that that what he was just a bogus total
bogus resume. All right, I think we have time for
one more and this is good news. And Amy is
really excited about. Let Amy do this one because this
is an Amy topic.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Okay, they're animals, Amy.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
I know, I'm just aftah.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Depending on our audience their dinner. Okay, moving on, Amy,
why don't you give us the good news.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Okay, The Great Beagle Rescue of Wisconsin continues as animal
rights groups say they plan to remove more dogs from
a medical research facility. It's called Ridgeland Farms. They agreed
to allow animal rights groups to remove one hundred and
thirty five beagles from the facility, on top of the
(30:23):
fifteen hundred dogs that have already been removed and relocated.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, it's not that they were treated poorly. I don't
think that's the accusation. It's just that the emimeral medical
research place.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, and that is well.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Again, keep in mind, I'm going to give you the
other side of the coin on this one, because when
you look at these things, they are these beagles are
so adorable being held up and hugging and I mean
just you love it. You love this story and it's
being covered all over the place. But when new drugs
come out to save human beings, they have to go
(30:58):
the pharmaceutical companies have to go through animal testing. And
do you not now, and no one cares about mice.
You can kill all the mice you want, but when
it comes to animal testing with these beagles, I.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Don't know what happens. And they kill them.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Afterwards, and I sometimes yeah, and I don't know the answer,
but when you look at how utterly cute and you go,
how can you do this?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Well?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And you know why they they use beagles, right because
beagles they don't fight back, Like beagles are the calmest
dogs and they can do almost anything to them and
they don't fight back.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
That's okay, I would you will?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeahs yeah, yeah, I'm never eating at a Korean restaurant again. Okay,
we are done. Coming up the election recap, We'll do
that right here. Kf I A M.
