You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So you know who really tip the barrel? The straw
on the camel's tip of the barrel, Iceberg, the monkeys
in the barrel that tip over? Do I have that
right drunk? I know No, I'm just trying to figure
out the phrase straw that broke the camel's back. Okay,
that was a little That was a little shtick, all right, And.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Okay, Friday is here.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's a Friday, it's a foody Friday, and it's TG
y q N p r Z, thank.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
God Friday and everything else attached. So everybody's in a
pretty good mood on Friday, and we have a pretty
good time on Friday. We do stories that are fun, unique, heartfeld, uplifting.
Except today, today is going to be another one. Your
(01:21):
life is going to fall apart now between the three
premises here. And I'm not going to put myself in
the same league. I'm simply going to say attitude wise,
So before you start writing the emails and posting, I
am not comparing myself to Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, however,
(01:45):
who prescribes the world in more dire terms. Former President Trump,
who says that we are in the worst shape this
country has ever been with been in and if Tamala
Harris becomes president, world war three is guaranteed, and inflation
(02:07):
will explode and everybody will die a horrible economic breath death.
Kamala Harris explaining Donald Trump no guard rails America disappears
as a democracy. Look what he is going to do?
Or is it me telling you you're going to be
(02:28):
dead next week? Life is horrible across the board. I
don't care what political arena you're in. So I'm I'm
going to take the credit for this one because I
am across the board. Life is crap, not just looking
across the aisle.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Oh yeah, your life is horrible, by the way, I'm
so sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well no, no, I didn say my life was horrible. I'm
saying your life is horrible. I love my life, I understand,
but it is horrible. It is horrible. By definition, your
life being horrible makes my life wonderful. It's a little complicated. Oh,
I got a text for my shrink last night reminding
(03:15):
me that I've been fired, She said, justice Trump. And
here I'm gonna give her huge kudos on this one.
She said, just as Donald Trump got the nomination in
twenty sixteen and Hillary had a lock in twenty sixteen,
do you remember, I mean, there was no issue when
(03:36):
Trump got the nomination and my shrink said Trump is
going to win this and I said, you are out
of your mind. She said, you watch, Trump is going
to win this election. Last night the text came in
saying twenty sixteen I predicted correctly, Trump was winning. Twenty
(03:58):
twenty four acting Harris is going to win. And I
give her a lot of credit for being right on,
for being prescient. All right, So last night was the
Democratic National Convention, the last night Kamala Harris in fact
(04:20):
accepted in accepted the nomination. And I thought she did
a very good job. I really did. I thought she
came off. She had soaring rhetoric, could not plan the
speech in such a way that it attacked Trump over
(04:41):
and over and over again. And at the same time
this soaring rhetoric about where the country is going to
go and hope and joy, and she was able to
put it together, the joy and the hatred side by side,
a hatred of Donald Trump and what he is going
(05:02):
to do and what a Trump administration would do side
by side, And I thought she did a pretty good job.
Her speech was appropriate. Talked about her background A lot
of I was. I grew up in the middle class.
A lot of that. My mom was terrific. Look at
how hard she had to work, Look at how hard
I had to work. There was a lot of When
(05:24):
I was a kid, I walked four miles to school
uphill both ways in the snow, even though it was
southern California. I mean, there was a lot of that.
First of all, let me say hello to the crowd.
There's and good morning. Oh you're echoing Neil, good morning,
(05:49):
Good morning, Willie Wolf. And there's Cono, good morning. Pretty good.
I don't see Amy anywhere on the screen.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Call this tall red hair, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
No, I know, very tall, very long, yeah, very long legs,
very attractive.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I can't even say you're attractive, Amy.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Because that's say that if you can, you knowlaint.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It doesn't matter, Chris. The way you see it, Bill
is weird. You're pretty good looking. No, it's because it's
no longer you being offended, Amy, it's someone hearing that
who is offended and argues that this somehow is an
(06:35):
inappropriate sexual comment. All right, hey, what are you wearing?
I haven't seen you on the screen yet.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
You move your camera. It's just all of it now
is creepy?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Is heck?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
All right? Real quickly before we get to our first
break list, to it handle on the news with Amy
Neil and Me, and the lead story is, of course,
the acceptance by Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention
as it ended last night, and I'm going to do
(07:11):
much much more of that at seven o'clock and go
through some takeaways, do some grading of the performances, because
that's what they are. You know, we knew that, and
the promises they're made have very little to do with
the actuality. And some allegations were made by Kamala Harris
(07:31):
that I went come on, really, I mean a lot
of it was legitimate. But the problem is when you
go and connect it to some times where you don't know,
for example, Project twenty twenty five. Right, even though Trump
has distanced himself, it's an automatic because his advisors have
written it. You know what. I'm going to talk about
(07:52):
a lot about that coming up. At seven. Also a
quick word about what is policy and legal here at KFI,
I had mentioned how attractive Amy is and I do
not do not want to be accused of any kind
of discrimination. So, and you're pretty high up on the
(08:15):
attractiven scale. I'll give you about an eight point four. Cono.
Now I'm getting to you, Kno, you're a pretty good
looking guy. I feel stirrings in my loins as I'm
looking at you and Neil. I've always been impressed with
your fruit package.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's all good.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
No one's going to debate that with you. But I
would have liked the little you know eyes up here.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No, I understand. It's it's such a shame you're sitting
at a desk, now, Cono. I don't know if that
is a promo, but it sure sounds like it, doesn't
it Already get it, it's already there. All right, back
we go more. It's a Friday, that's the matter.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
If it was a three is compliments, I know it's like, uh,
it's weird.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, that's that's you know. You can't use the word
weird anymore without all kinds of political connotations. All right, guys,
let's do it more handle on the news with Amy
and Neil and me.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
I always hear an Optimus Prime's voice in my head
when I say this.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
It would be an honor, sir, honor. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Former President Trump has weighed in as Robert F. Kennedy
Junior weighs in on dropping out of the race and
throwing his support behind Trump. Trump said, if he endorsed me,
I would be honored by it. I would be very
honored by it. Kennedy Junior's campaign withdrew from the ballot
in Arizona, and he's doing some sort of a news
(09:53):
conference today and it just happens to be on the
same day that Trump is going to be in Arizona
and his teas.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
He will have a special guess at his rally.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Is it Beyonce Taylor's That's very funny.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I have a question to ask, as Trump said he
regarding RFK, he really has his heart in the right place.
He is respected person. Women love some of his policies,
and I guess some people don't like some of his policies.
Let me ask, if it turns out they can't cut
a deal does and the endorsement doesn't come through, are
(10:29):
we going to still hear he is a respected person
and he really has his heart in the right place.
I don't think so. I doubt that. By the way,
that is not an anti Trump. Well, actually it is.
You know, there's a lot about Trump. I don't like it.
There's a lot about commonly Harris. I don't like, you know,
some of her policies. So I'm gonna have a good
(10:50):
time during certainly this presidential race.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Did you like anything about uh about Kennedy Robert Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No, nothing. I think he's out of his mind. I
think RFK Junior is basically a lunatic and his family
has completely disowned him.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
He seems crazy adjacent.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
To me, Yeah, well, you know he's a conspiracy theorist.
I mean, he's gone beyond just being a conservative. You know,
I'm fine with people being conservative. I mean, there's no issue.
I'm actually, even though I'm insanely pro choice, I'm fine
with people who are anti abortion in terms of I
will discuss it. It's a legitimate It is a legitimate point,
(11:41):
both morally and legally. But when you talk about conspiracy
theories and anti vax and getting autism, and I mean,
you're just call you're just nuts at that point.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Already divided Supreme Court just yesterday ruled that Arizona may
require proof of citizenship and registering new voters for future elections.
The court refused the GOP request to block voting in
November by more than forty thousand people who have already
registered without proving proof.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, it's an interesting decision because they're saying the forty
thousand who have already registered, they're registered. However, in the
future proof must be given if the state decides proofs
of citizenship must be given. Hey, here's the bottom line.
You have to be an American citizen to vote. Why
what God's name aren't you asked to prove your American
(12:39):
citizen I don't get it. All you have to do
is say you're an American citizen. That's like being stopped
by a cop for blowing through a red light. Can
I see your license? I have one? Can I see it? No,
you can't see it. You have to take my word
that I have a driver's license. I have never understood this. Now.
(13:03):
The premise is that you have the disenfranchised, the minority,
the poor, who are it's hard for them to prove
their citizenship. So therefore the whole concept of proving your
citizenship how somehow is either illegal or certainly immoral, because
you're disenfranchising a whole group of people. Well you know what,
(13:25):
can I tell you? It's hard to get a driver's
license too? Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
And why don't they solve the problem by making sure
that those that feel disenfranchised get ID?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
They do. It's a law that you have to have
ID you get a Californy.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I don't understand why this is a why this is
a political issue.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's a political issue, is the prem because well, no,
the law does No. The law doesn't say you have
to prove citizenship. Nope, nope. It says you must be
a citizen, but you don't have to prove it.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Well, except the Supreme Court says that you do.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, well now, yeah, now you do, but only in Arizona. Okay,
not across Remember they just held the area. This is
an Arizona suit and they did not go so far
as the court tends to in most cases, be as
narrow as it can. And so this is not a
universal right.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
No states can now require it? States?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well no, well, yeah, I think so. Under this decision,
but they could have said states can now require it.
They didn't. This is Arizona. They did not make a
sweeping decision, and that's what the courts do anyway. So
I don't get how you don't have to prove citizenship.
(14:46):
The only argument is that there is virtually no fraud
involved if you look at the number of cases in
which non citizens vote. Democrats are saying it's infinite tissimal.
I don't know how that works, but that is the allegation.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Okay, can you hear my voice? I can, you can't.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
In Afghanistan, the Taliban rulers say they're cracking down on
the sound of women's voices in public. It's under strict
new rules. They're called vice and virtue laws under the
Islamist regime.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Just crazy shadia law they take to the most extreme.
In Afghanistan, it's the most anti woman country in the
world by a long shot.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well let's not. Let's let's think this through for a second.
I'm joking. I know, so women can see Anne's face.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah it's true. I mean women you can't hear their voices.
So everybody has to learn sign language. Oh no, because
your hand show you can't do that either.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
But you know what we should, We should approach test
to protect. Yeah, that'll do it all right, no longer
places to go. A thousands of Palestinian Palestinians in Gaza
are having to flee again and again and again. After
(16:17):
the Israeli military issued a new evacuation order. Experts are saying, hey,
this just is encroaching further on aid roots and humanitarian z.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
And it is Israel is pounding areas which heretofore were
safe evacuation areas, saying this is a safe zone, and
then a few days or a few weeks later, boom,
it's hit again. Now Israel says that a mosque goes
into that area and sets up or moves into that
area and sets up its command control and its fighters
(16:54):
in civilian areas as they embed. I don't know, I
don't know. All I know is I would love Israel
to prove that and to say, here's some video of
these command centers. Here's video of a bunch of Hamas
militants who are dead in a hospital. Haven't seen it.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Well, you know what Hamas says, you can't have human
shields without humans.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, that's a good point. So, I mean, both sides
of this are just so insane. I just parts of it.
I just don't understand.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Everyone is welcome.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
A federal judge has ruled the US military can no
longer turn away people who want to enlist to our
HIV positive The US District judge made the ruling saying
the Pentagon's ban on HIV positive people seeking to enlist
in the armed forces contributes to the ongoing stigma surrounding
HIV positive individuals, and also adds that modern science has
(17:57):
transformed the treatment of HIV. So now there are asymptomatic
HIV positive service members who have undetectable viral loads. They
maintain the treatment they have, they're capable of performing all
of their military duties, including worldwide deployment.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, it's become a chronic. It's become chronic. That's it.
You take your medication and you're a viral loads so
low that first of all, the prognosis is the same.
I mean, the lifespan doesn't change as to people who
don't have HIV, and you know, there really is not
a lot of risk of transmission, especially with viral loads
(18:36):
that are undetected, so you know, and it's not easy
to get HIV. I mean blood transfusions. Those you don't
get them anymore because the testing is so extraordinary. So
you have unprotected sex, both vaginal and non vaginal sex.
I mean, that will transfer HIV. But you know it's
(19:00):
it's just it's not as big a deal where it
was a death sentence twenty twenty five years ago. I
notice how well I did you notice how well I
did that, How totally politically correct I did that. I
did not go into a I did not take it
into the gutter, which I would normally do.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Can you not say that word again?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
What you know I didn't Okay, I didn't say that word.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
There's no need to shine in line on it.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's another thing. You can't get HIV doing that either. Okay,
I'm moving at her. Okay, we're moving in the wrong direction.
Let's continue.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
The FBI rated a Tustin home owned by an Orange
County supervisor's daughter. She was named in a lawsuit that
accuses her and a nonprofit of misusing millions of dollars.
I mean, like the two of thirteen million bucks. The
name of the organization is Via America Society, and her
(20:07):
name is Rihannan Doe and is the daughter of Andrew Doe.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
By the way, I've interviewed Andrew a bunch of times.
He's a real good guy. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's
a good guy. He is in the meantime, his daughter
not so much. Now keep in mind, this is not
criminal they have well I'm talking of the act. Of course,
his criminal life it proves, but this is Orange County
filing a civil lawsuit to get money back. She has
(20:39):
not been arrested yet, and if any of this is true,
of course she will be arrested. Okay, it's too one
more before we take a break.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Careful when you're making fun of the ugly cry, as
you remember, it was actually one of the sweetest things.
Tim Waltz's Wells's seventeen year old son Gus was crying
as his dad was accepting the nomination to become vice president,
and Culter put a post up and said, talk about weird.
She did that on X She's deleted it because the
(21:10):
backlash was huge because the seventeen year old son, Gus
apparently has a nonverbal learning disorder.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, you know, you could tell that there was some
kind of disability, and I think that's what she alluded to,
or just the extent of his crying, and he cried
the entire time during the nomination or during his father speaking,
(21:38):
and it was, you know, I started tearing up. I mean,
he is bawling, tears are coming down his face. He
looks at the camera and he goes, that's my dad,
that's my dad. It was the sweetest thing. And culture right,
I don't know how many memes came out ripping into
(22:01):
Gus crying.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
More than you would hope, trusting more than you would hope.
And I, you know, I like a good I got
a cross sense of humor. I like a good joke.
I just don't see it in this. I maybe it's
because I'm a dad. There's just something in that. May
we all be put in a situation where our kids
are proud of us like that? I just I think
(22:24):
she's a horrible human being. I don't care about her politics.
She's a disgusting human being. And even the Mafia lays
off of children.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
And she deleted it very quickly. I might add, there's
no I don't like.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
The people that bust on Baron Trump either. And when
he was a kid and all of it's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
It is.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Practice times may look a little different for some student
athletes across southern California as the CIF places new guidelines
on the student athletes practicing in the heat. How many
stories have we heard of kids dropping in the heat
and the like?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So you got too many and it's becoming more and
more prevalent. Why, Well, because the heat is becoming more
and more prevalent, So it's gonna been early morning practice
or late afternoon practice. Boy, that one screw up family
life or your school, the way you go to school.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Well, it's about time. A guy has been arrested in Guatemala.
The US authorities say they're going to seek extradition. He's
charged with helping to coordinate the smuggling of a group
of people into the US. You'll remember, Oh, yeah, they
found like fifty three people and they all died. They
were an abandoned big rig and it was like one
(23:46):
hundred degrees outside.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, it was crazy. I remember that story vividly as
we covered it.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Yeah, so they're they're charging him.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
They arrested seven people, this guy, particularly maybe the ringleader,
and they're they're going to extra died.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, it was so weird. I don't remember amy whether
he was. They were fearful that the border patrol was
on their tail, because what was the reason they that
the driver would just abandon the rig on the side
of the road, having locked the doors, the back doors
of the truck. It was a big semi trailer, take
(24:25):
away all the phones, so no one could have a
phone inside, and people were screaming. And how many died?
I think there were only seven or eight that survived.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Right, fifty three died. Forty eight were already dead when
they found them, So they were locked in that trailer.
And authorities are saying that the men knew that the
trailer's air conditioning unit wasn't working and they wouldn't blow
any cool air to the migrants, and they were just
stuck there.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
How do you do that to a human being? Man,
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
We shouldn't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Anyway. He was arrested in Guatemala and is now awaiting extradition.
The United States has asked for extradition, and I can't
imagine Guatemala is not going to grant it.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
All right, A California bill that would allow undocumented immigrants
to qualify for first time home buying loans. Continues to
progress in the state legislator and legislature, and now the
bill would need to be signed by Governor gav Look
at how handsome I am before it becomes law.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This is California. Can you imagine this happening in the
Southern States. So now undocumented immigrants, of course they can vote.
All they have to do is say they're American citizens.
We did that story earlier, but now we have tax
money where it goes to undocumented immigrants to help buy
(25:55):
a house first time buyers. Is that another reason why
we have such an influx of illegal migrants coming into
this country because we are the land of opportunity. I mean,
you know you starve in Mexico or Honduras or Guatemala.
I mean you literally eat twigs for dinner. And look
(26:15):
at the opportunities in the United States. Even minimum wage
jobs that pay virtually nothing are a king's ransom. And
now let's come to California because the undocumented now are
also eligible from the state to help them buy their
first home. Matter of fact, we're well part of the
(26:38):
bill which didn't make it. If you look at the
hearings was part of AB eighteen forty, would allow only
undocumented members or undocumented people living in the States to
buy homes and to get governmental help if you are illegal.
If you are a citizen, you are not eligible for this.
(27:00):
But if you are illegal, you are. By the way,
I just made that up. That was a political statement.
I just made up. But still, I mean, it's gonn't
get to the point where and a lot of the
left wing believes this is that as soon as someone
crosses the border, they are effectively US citizens. VINCENTE. Fox,
(27:24):
former president of Mexico, years ago, said the border between
the United States and Mexico is just literally a line,
and that's it. It's like a border between the states.
We go from here to Nevada, there's just a sign
that says, welcome to Nevada. There's your border. And a
(27:49):
lot of people are arguing that should be the case
with illegal aliens entering the country. I don't buy it.
I just don't buy it. They are not citizens. A
lot of that is personal. My family, my dad waited
eleven years to get in this country legally, and he
(28:10):
should have just walked over the border.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Well, he shouldn't have been let in.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That's another point. Oh now, yeah, that's another point in retrospect,
he should not his but that is another issue for
discussion at another time. This is KFI AM six forty

So before you start writing the emails and posting, I

Or is it me telling you you're going to be
(02:28):
dead next week? Life is horrible across the board. I
don't care what political arena you're in. So I'm I'm
going to take the credit for this one because I
am across the board. Life is crap, not just looking
across the aisle.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Oh yeah, your life is horrible, by the way, I'm
so sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well no, no, I didn say my life was horrible. I'm
saying your life is horrible. I love my life, I understand,
but it is horrible. It is horrible. By definition, your
life being horrible makes my life wonderful. It's a little complicated. Oh,
I got a text for my shrink last night reminding
(03:15):
me that I've been fired, She said, justice Trump. And
here I'm gonna give her huge kudos on this one.
She said, just as Donald Trump got the nomination in
twenty sixteen and Hillary had a lock in twenty sixteen,
do you remember, I mean, there was no issue when
(03:36):
Trump got the nomination and my shrink said Trump is
going to win this and I said, you are out
of your mind. She said, you watch, Trump is going
to win this election. Last night the text came in
saying twenty sixteen I predicted correctly, Trump was winning. Twenty
(03:58):
twenty four acting Harris is going to win. And I
give her a lot of credit for being right on,
for being prescient. All right, So last night was the
Democratic National Convention, the last night Kamala Harris in fact
(04:20):
accepted in accepted the nomination. And I thought she did
a very good job. I really did. I thought she
came off. She had soaring rhetoric, could not plan the
speech in such a way that it attacked Trump over
(04:41):
and over and over again. And at the same time
this soaring rhetoric about where the country is going to
go and hope and joy, and she was able to
put it together, the joy and the hatred side by side,
a hatred of Donald Trump and what he is going
(05:02):
to do and what a Trump administration would do side
by side, And I thought she did a pretty good job.
Her speech was appropriate. Talked about her background A lot
of I was. I grew up in the middle class.
A lot of that. My mom was terrific. Look at
how hard she had to work, Look at how hard
I had to work. There was a lot of When
(05:24):
I was a kid, I walked four miles to school
uphill both ways in the snow, even though it was
southern California. I mean, there was a lot of that.
First of all, let me say hello to the crowd.
There's and good morning. Oh you're echoing Neil, good morning,
(05:49):
Good morning, Willie Wolf. And there's Cono, good morning. Pretty good.
I don't see Amy anywhere on the screen.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Call this tall red hair, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
No, I know, very tall, very long, yeah, very long legs,
very attractive.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I can't even say you're attractive, Amy.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Because that's say that if you can, you knowlaint.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It doesn't matter, Chris. The way you see it, Bill
is weird. You're pretty good looking. No, it's because it's
no longer you being offended, Amy, it's someone hearing that
who is offended and argues that this somehow is an
(06:35):
inappropriate sexual comment. All right, hey, what are you wearing?
I haven't seen you on the screen yet.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
You move your camera. It's just all of it now
is creepy?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Is heck?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
All right? Real quickly before we get to our first
break list, to it handle on the news with Amy
Neil and Me, and the lead story is, of course,
the acceptance by Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention
as it ended last night, and I'm going to do
(07:11):
much much more of that at seven o'clock and go
through some takeaways, do some grading of the performances, because
that's what they are. You know, we knew that, and
the promises they're made have very little to do with
the actuality. And some allegations were made by Kamala Harris
(07:31):
that I went come on, really, I mean a lot
of it was legitimate. But the problem is when you
go and connect it to some times where you don't know,
for example, Project twenty twenty five. Right, even though Trump
has distanced himself, it's an automatic because his advisors have
written it. You know what. I'm going to talk about
(07:52):
a lot about that coming up. At seven. Also a
quick word about what is policy and legal here at KFI,
I had mentioned how attractive Amy is and I do
not do not want to be accused of any kind
of discrimination. So, and you're pretty high up on the
(08:15):
attractiven scale. I'll give you about an eight point four. Cono.
Now I'm getting to you, Kno, you're a pretty good
looking guy. I feel stirrings in my loins as I'm
looking at you and Neil. I've always been impressed with
your fruit package.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's all good.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
No one's going to debate that with you. But I
would have liked the little you know eyes up here.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No, I understand. It's it's such a shame you're sitting
at a desk, now, Cono. I don't know if that
is a promo, but it sure sounds like it, doesn't
it Already get it, it's already there. All right, back
we go more. It's a Friday, that's the matter.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
If it was a three is compliments, I know it's like, uh,
it's weird.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, that's that's you know. You can't use the word
weird anymore without all kinds of political connotations. All right, guys,
let's do it more handle on the news with Amy
and Neil and me.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
I always hear an Optimus Prime's voice in my head
when I say this.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
It would be an honor, sir, honor. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Former President Trump has weighed in as Robert F. Kennedy
Junior weighs in on dropping out of the race and
throwing his support behind Trump. Trump said, if he endorsed me,
I would be honored by it. I would be very
honored by it. Kennedy Junior's campaign withdrew from the ballot
in Arizona, and he's doing some sort of a news
(09:53):
conference today and it just happens to be on the
same day that Trump is going to be in Arizona
and his teas.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
He will have a special guess at his rally.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Is it Beyonce Taylor's That's very funny.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I have a question to ask, as Trump said he
regarding RFK, he really has his heart in the right place.
He is respected person. Women love some of his policies,
and I guess some people don't like some of his policies.
Let me ask, if it turns out they can't cut
a deal does and the endorsement doesn't come through, are
(10:29):
we going to still hear he is a respected person
and he really has his heart in the right place.
I don't think so. I doubt that. By the way,
that is not an anti Trump. Well, actually it is.
You know, there's a lot about Trump. I don't like it.
There's a lot about commonly Harris. I don't like, you know,
some of her policies. So I'm gonna have a good
(10:50):
time during certainly this presidential race.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Did you like anything about uh about Kennedy Robert Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No, nothing. I think he's out of his mind. I
think RFK Junior is basically a lunatic and his family
has completely disowned him.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
He seems crazy adjacent.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
To me, Yeah, well, you know he's a conspiracy theorist.
I mean, he's gone beyond just being a conservative. You know,
I'm fine with people being conservative. I mean, there's no issue.
I'm actually, even though I'm insanely pro choice, I'm fine
with people who are anti abortion in terms of I
will discuss it. It's a legitimate It is a legitimate point,
(11:41):
both morally and legally. But when you talk about conspiracy
theories and anti vax and getting autism, and I mean,
you're just call you're just nuts at that point.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Already divided Supreme Court just yesterday ruled that Arizona may
require proof of citizenship and registering new voters for future elections.
The court refused the GOP request to block voting in
November by more than forty thousand people who have already
registered without proving proof.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, it's an interesting decision because they're saying the forty
thousand who have already registered, they're registered. However, in the
future proof must be given if the state decides proofs
of citizenship must be given. Hey, here's the bottom line.
You have to be an American citizen to vote. Why
what God's name aren't you asked to prove your American
(12:39):
citizen I don't get it. All you have to do
is say you're an American citizen. That's like being stopped
by a cop for blowing through a red light. Can
I see your license? I have one? Can I see it? No,
you can't see it. You have to take my word
that I have a driver's license. I have never understood this. Now.
(13:03):
The premise is that you have the disenfranchised, the minority,
the poor, who are it's hard for them to prove
their citizenship. So therefore the whole concept of proving your
citizenship how somehow is either illegal or certainly immoral, because
you're disenfranchising a whole group of people. Well you know what,
(13:25):
can I tell you? It's hard to get a driver's
license too? Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
And why don't they solve the problem by making sure
that those that feel disenfranchised get ID?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
They do. It's a law that you have to have
ID you get a Californy.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I don't understand why this is a why this is
a political issue.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's a political issue, is the prem because well, no,
the law does No. The law doesn't say you have
to prove citizenship. Nope, nope. It says you must be
a citizen, but you don't have to prove it.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Well, except the Supreme Court says that you do.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, well now, yeah, now you do, but only in Arizona. Okay,
not across Remember they just held the area. This is
an Arizona suit and they did not go so far
as the court tends to in most cases, be as
narrow as it can. And so this is not a
universal right.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
No states can now require it? States?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well no, well, yeah, I think so. Under this decision,
but they could have said states can now require it.
They didn't. This is Arizona. They did not make a
sweeping decision, and that's what the courts do anyway. So
I don't get how you don't have to prove citizenship.
(14:46):
The only argument is that there is virtually no fraud
involved if you look at the number of cases in
which non citizens vote. Democrats are saying it's infinite tissimal.
I don't know how that works, but that is the allegation.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Okay, can you hear my voice? I can, you can't.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
In Afghanistan, the Taliban rulers say they're cracking down on
the sound of women's voices in public. It's under strict
new rules. They're called vice and virtue laws under the
Islamist regime.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Just crazy shadia law they take to the most extreme.
In Afghanistan, it's the most anti woman country in the
world by a long shot.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well let's not. Let's let's think this through for a second.
I'm joking. I know, so women can see Anne's face.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah it's true. I mean women you can't hear their voices.
So everybody has to learn sign language. Oh no, because
your hand show you can't do that either.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
But you know what we should, We should approach test
to protect. Yeah, that'll do it all right, no longer
places to go. A thousands of Palestinian Palestinians in Gaza
are having to flee again and again and again. After
(16:17):
the Israeli military issued a new evacuation order. Experts are saying, hey,
this just is encroaching further on aid roots and humanitarian z.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
And it is Israel is pounding areas which heretofore were
safe evacuation areas, saying this is a safe zone, and
then a few days or a few weeks later, boom,
it's hit again. Now Israel says that a mosque goes
into that area and sets up or moves into that
area and sets up its command control and its fighters
(16:54):
in civilian areas as they embed. I don't know, I
don't know. All I know is I would love Israel
to prove that and to say, here's some video of
these command centers. Here's video of a bunch of Hamas
militants who are dead in a hospital. Haven't seen it.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Well, you know what Hamas says, you can't have human
shields without humans.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, that's a good point. So, I mean, both sides
of this are just so insane. I just parts of it.
I just don't understand.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Everyone is welcome.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
A federal judge has ruled the US military can no
longer turn away people who want to enlist to our
HIV positive The US District judge made the ruling saying
the Pentagon's ban on HIV positive people seeking to enlist
in the armed forces contributes to the ongoing stigma surrounding
HIV positive individuals, and also adds that modern science has
(17:57):
transformed the treatment of HIV. So now there are asymptomatic
HIV positive service members who have undetectable viral loads. They
maintain the treatment they have, they're capable of performing all
of their military duties, including worldwide deployment.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, it's become a chronic. It's become chronic. That's it.
You take your medication and you're a viral loads so
low that first of all, the prognosis is the same.
I mean, the lifespan doesn't change as to people who
don't have HIV, and you know, there really is not
a lot of risk of transmission, especially with viral loads
(18:36):
that are undetected, so you know, and it's not easy
to get HIV. I mean blood transfusions. Those you don't
get them anymore because the testing is so extraordinary. So
you have unprotected sex, both vaginal and non vaginal sex.
I mean, that will transfer HIV. But you know it's
(19:00):
it's just it's not as big a deal where it
was a death sentence twenty twenty five years ago. I
notice how well I did you notice how well I
did that, How totally politically correct I did that. I
did not go into a I did not take it
into the gutter, which I would normally do.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Can you not say that word again?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
What you know I didn't Okay, I didn't say that word.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
There's no need to shine in line on it.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's another thing. You can't get HIV doing that either. Okay,
I'm moving at her. Okay, we're moving in the wrong direction.
Let's continue.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
The FBI rated a Tustin home owned by an Orange
County supervisor's daughter. She was named in a lawsuit that
accuses her and a nonprofit of misusing millions of dollars.
I mean, like the two of thirteen million bucks. The
name of the organization is Via America Society, and her
(20:07):
name is Rihannan Doe and is the daughter of Andrew Doe.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
By the way, I've interviewed Andrew a bunch of times.
He's a real good guy. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's
a good guy. He is in the meantime, his daughter
not so much. Now keep in mind, this is not
criminal they have well I'm talking of the act. Of course,
his criminal life it proves, but this is Orange County
filing a civil lawsuit to get money back. She has
(20:39):
not been arrested yet, and if any of this is true,
of course she will be arrested. Okay, it's too one
more before we take a break.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Careful when you're making fun of the ugly cry, as
you remember, it was actually one of the sweetest things.
Tim Waltz's Wells's seventeen year old son Gus was crying
as his dad was accepting the nomination to become vice president,
and Culter put a post up and said, talk about weird.
She did that on X She's deleted it because the
(21:10):
backlash was huge because the seventeen year old son, Gus
apparently has a nonverbal learning disorder.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, you know, you could tell that there was some
kind of disability, and I think that's what she alluded to,
or just the extent of his crying, and he cried
the entire time during the nomination or during his father speaking,
(21:38):
and it was, you know, I started tearing up. I mean,
he is bawling, tears are coming down his face. He
looks at the camera and he goes, that's my dad,
that's my dad. It was the sweetest thing. And culture right,
I don't know how many memes came out ripping into
(22:01):
Gus crying.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
More than you would hope, trusting more than you would hope.
And I, you know, I like a good I got
a cross sense of humor. I like a good joke.
I just don't see it in this. I maybe it's
because I'm a dad. There's just something in that. May
we all be put in a situation where our kids
are proud of us like that? I just I think
(22:24):
she's a horrible human being. I don't care about her politics.
She's a disgusting human being. And even the Mafia lays
off of children.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
And she deleted it very quickly. I might add, there's
no I don't like.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
The people that bust on Baron Trump either. And when
he was a kid and all of it's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
It is.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Practice times may look a little different for some student
athletes across southern California as the CIF places new guidelines
on the student athletes practicing in the heat. How many
stories have we heard of kids dropping in the heat
and the like?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So you got too many and it's becoming more and
more prevalent. Why, Well, because the heat is becoming more
and more prevalent, So it's gonna been early morning practice
or late afternoon practice. Boy, that one screw up family
life or your school, the way you go to school.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Well, it's about time. A guy has been arrested in Guatemala.
The US authorities say they're going to seek extradition. He's
charged with helping to coordinate the smuggling of a group
of people into the US. You'll remember, Oh, yeah, they
found like fifty three people and they all died. They
were an abandoned big rig and it was like one
(23:46):
hundred degrees outside.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, it was crazy. I remember that story vividly as
we covered it.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Yeah, so they're they're charging him.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
They arrested seven people, this guy, particularly maybe the ringleader,
and they're they're going to extra died.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, it was so weird. I don't remember amy whether
he was. They were fearful that the border patrol was
on their tail, because what was the reason they that
the driver would just abandon the rig on the side
of the road, having locked the doors, the back doors
of the truck. It was a big semi trailer, take
(24:25):
away all the phones, so no one could have a
phone inside, and people were screaming. And how many died?
I think there were only seven or eight that survived.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Right, fifty three died. Forty eight were already dead when
they found them, So they were locked in that trailer.
And authorities are saying that the men knew that the
trailer's air conditioning unit wasn't working and they wouldn't blow
any cool air to the migrants, and they were just
stuck there.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
How do you do that to a human being? Man,
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
We shouldn't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Anyway. He was arrested in Guatemala and is now awaiting extradition.
The United States has asked for extradition, and I can't
imagine Guatemala is not going to grant it.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
All right, A California bill that would allow undocumented immigrants
to qualify for first time home buying loans. Continues to
progress in the state legislator and legislature, and now the
bill would need to be signed by Governor gav Look
at how handsome I am before it becomes law.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This is California. Can you imagine this happening in the
Southern States. So now undocumented immigrants, of course they can vote.
All they have to do is say they're American citizens.
We did that story earlier, but now we have tax
money where it goes to undocumented immigrants to help buy
(25:55):
a house first time buyers. Is that another reason why
we have such an influx of illegal migrants coming into
this country because we are the land of opportunity. I mean,
you know you starve in Mexico or Honduras or Guatemala.
I mean you literally eat twigs for dinner. And look
(26:15):
at the opportunities in the United States. Even minimum wage
jobs that pay virtually nothing are a king's ransom. And
now let's come to California because the undocumented now are
also eligible from the state to help them buy their
first home. Matter of fact, we're well part of the
(26:38):
bill which didn't make it. If you look at the
hearings was part of AB eighteen forty, would allow only
undocumented members or undocumented people living in the States to
buy homes and to get governmental help if you are illegal.
If you are a citizen, you are not eligible for this.
(27:00):
But if you are illegal, you are. By the way,
I just made that up. That was a political statement.
I just made up. But still, I mean, it's gonn't
get to the point where and a lot of the
left wing believes this is that as soon as someone
crosses the border, they are effectively US citizens. VINCENTE. Fox,
(27:24):
former president of Mexico, years ago, said the border between
the United States and Mexico is just literally a line,
and that's it. It's like a border between the states.
We go from here to Nevada, there's just a sign
that says, welcome to Nevada. There's your border. And a
(27:49):
lot of people are arguing that should be the case
with illegal aliens entering the country. I don't buy it.
I just don't buy it. They are not citizens. A
lot of that is personal. My family, my dad waited
eleven years to get in this country legally, and he
(28:10):
should have just walked over the border.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Well, he shouldn't have been let in.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That's another point. Oh now, yeah, that's another point in retrospect,
he should not his but that is another issue for
discussion at another time. This is KFI AM six forty
