Oh yeah, you got that solstice where you know, people
dance around bushes and things and where you know, the
the druids, you know, druids.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Being clearly wear the druids.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
No, they wear that those white things. You know Stonehenge.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's you ever go to stoneh and you really are
looking for the people who dance around, you know, with
you know, cutting off chicken heads and you know, chicken
blood flying all over the place.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
And do you know that you can't go do that anymore?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, I know they put the fence around Stonehenge. Bastards.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
That's why we didn't go visit stoneh.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That's yeah, it's just it is a waste.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Now you just have a fence around it and you
can't dance around stone hinge.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You actually used to be able to walk through stonehenge.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I know, wouldn't that be the cool part of it?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, it was great. And then they and and people
pretended they were druids would do that too. That was
the fun part where you look at the lunatics going
through there and uh, you know, chanting things and there
are no bushes around there, but uh, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It's on the it's on the Salisbury Steak plane. You
know that, don't you.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh boy?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
The in Machu Pichu, that's one of the things that
I loved about it is that there's no fencing.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You just walk. No, you just walk in the grass
and hanging out.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, you have to get in, I mean they have
an entrance, but yeah, you just there.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It is.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And people hike for four days of hiking the Macha Picchi,
they're out of their minds.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And they have a bus. Much easier, much yeah, much easier.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Okay, you fly into Cusco, where you instantly go into
the death zone because it's eleven thousand feet Cousco and
they have oxygen in the hotel rooms.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh no, I remember Costco. My wife got pretty heavy
altitude sickness.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, so did Barbara, very sick. Okay, let me say
hello to everybody real quickly. Amy, Good morning, Hi, Bill, Hi.
Who did not go to Stonehenge, which is a waste
of time?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Now, we did not. We went to the White Cliffs
of Dover instead.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Those you don't need. Those don't have walls or fences
around them. By the way, you can look up the
Salisbury Steak planes because that's where Stonehenge is without the
steak part.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Okay, Well, good morning.

all be able to talk to one another.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's gonna be a fun event.
Speaker 1 (04:01):

Speaker 1 (04:41):
My memory's already gone. That You go to the iHeartRadio
app and then click on the bill Handle show, which
only during the course of the show can you do that,
and then on to the microphone in the upper right
hand corner, and tell us either why you should have
dinner with us or why you want to have dinner
(05:01):
with us.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
That's it, those two questions.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And please don't oh because I love the show, because
I've been listening for such a long time, I don't
want to hear Oh, I grew up with your show,
crapp ole, don't want to hear it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And here's what happens.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
We'll get some of the better calls we've already done
a few, played a few, and then all those names
will go into a hat and we pull out five.
So you can continue doing that during the course of
the show if you'd like to be invited, and we
are going to. By the way, this is just an
excuse to eat at the Anaheim White House. You know
that I'll come up with any excuse to eat there
(05:35):
and not have to pay, So I'm fine with that. Oh,
I forgot to tell you. If you win, you get

Speaker 5 (05:42):
What a lot of entries were like Listen, I don't
even care about the show.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm just broke and want a free meal.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
See that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
See that's good stuff, all right, you know that's not bad,
all right?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So we had that going on.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
If you still want to call and ask Candle anything,
I'd love to have you do that, but everybody is
so hard up for a free meal.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
And by the way, it really is worthwhile to go there.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I mean, it is probably my most most dis favorite restaurant,
sit down restaurant, designation resident, resident restaurant.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
All right, let's do it, guys, I've got plenty to cover.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Boy, what a week broke? What did you just stroke
out on the air?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
What I just do?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Designation a.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Designation restaurant?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, destination restauran.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah that too.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's a designation restaurant that is also a destination restaurant.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I think that is.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Wow, that's true.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
The dog Linds is coming down with the dogs. By
the way.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Uh, you've got to get trumpets or something.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But I know, I know it's this one's loud. This
is loud, and I left the door.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Open to all right, anyway, are you ready for the
designation show we're about to do.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, you know, was a dog, it'd be put down.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I know. I don't management as they've already stopped telling
us what to do on the show.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
They've given up the ghost. You know that don't you.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
See now the elevator is going down. See you have
to call it to go up. Uh, and then it
has to be called then you have to take it down.
So that's what you're hearing in the background. You know,
it generally only happens once.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Do you take the elevator down in the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I do because I'm my foot I'm in a boot, right,
I'm in a boot, and I get my pin out
on Friday and then I'll be able to walk down.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
You just call it up to the top and stay
at the top.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, it's a weird. Yeah you can, and I do.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
But yeah, I don't know why it went twice and
should only have gone down one, not because I took
it down this morning and then it to No, I
can't send it back up. It doesn't have It's not
a blast oh five thousand A lame.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Oh, it is not a lame. It is not a lame.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's one of those pneumatic tube elevators. They're really neat,
like all the pieces. No, yeah, yeah, but a big
but a big version.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Do you know what it looks like?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
A transporter beam sort of an enclosed transporter device on
Star on Star Trek it's around the cylinder plexiglass. They
just go up and down. You can take a look
at it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Look under pneumatic elevators on the U just.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
To do a Google search and you'll see what they
look like. Very very neat, very neat things. And I've
put one in and the reason I put in my
last house too, because what happens with people by two
this is think about this for a moment and it
makes sense. First of all, if you have a foot problem,
I mean a real foot problem, I would have to
be sleeping downstairs for two weeks with my foot surgery
(08:58):
because I couldn't walk up the stairs.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
That's for starters.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Second of all, is we all live in two story homes.
Very few people live in single story homes.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, you know, I got to tell you.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
People get old and when you hit a certain age,
which I hit yesterday, it's you have to move.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
You can't walk up the stairs anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
When people get old, it's just difficult and you have
to sell your house.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And with an elevator, you don't you stay there. And
I'm pardoned.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Oh it's not his birthday, No, No, what did you.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Say about yesterday?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
He was just getting old and I said yesterday it
happened to me.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Okay, let's do let's do it. Handle on the news,
Amy Neil and me lead.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Story as horrible story coming out of Gaza. Thirty people killed,
hundreds wounded, and it was at an aid center in Israel.
Course said, oh no, we didn't do it, and basically
everybody else said that Israel did it, and thirty one
(10:01):
people have been killed. What Israel is doing to the Palestinians,
the people of Gaza is unconscionable, unconscionable.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I am surprised that Israel.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Has not yet been designated a pariah country, where other
countries have just stopped having relations with them, pulling ambassadors
and just cutting off, cutting off connections with the country.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Just shocked.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I think a lot of it has to do with
that Gaza is controlled by terrorists and that's what they're about,
and the fight against Hamas is legitimate. The problem is
that the Palestinians live there, and over fifty thousand have
been killed. We don't know how many are fighters, probably
about a third.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Which means two thirds of those people killed.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Two thirds of fifty four thousand people are a lot
of men, women and children who are innocent.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
All right, let's take a break.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
We'll come back and then we'll really dive into the
news and I'll take a ride up and down the
elevator if you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Oh, I got a new name for your for your house.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh okay, oh good, don't we'll do that when we
come back.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
No, I'll do it right now. But what its perishing palace?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The perishing palace.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Because you got an elevator so you could die there.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh yeah, that's not bad. We'll tell that's another thing.
We'll have a contest with that too. It's the Bill
Handle show.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
No, No, I'm here, I'm here. I was talking to
Linz all right. She came in. We were talking out
so totally distracted.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
We were talking about her coming down the elevator in
the morning, and she suggested Cono that when you hear
the elevator, you break out in some kind of coronation music.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That was her idea, you know, as we make a
fan fare.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
As Amy pointed out the elevator this morning and started laughing.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Okay, guys, oh yeah, we have a show to do.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
We're in the middle of the new aren't we.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yes, Okay, well, there you are, all right, Uh, let's
go ahead and do that more.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Handle on the news with Amy and Neil and me.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Ukraine may be down, but it's not out. It hit
Russia in a big way.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Ukrainian forces used drones to destroy dozens of Russian warplanes
deep inside Russian territories. So what they did this is
absolutely fascinating, is they had basically what looked like mobile
homes on the back of trucks and in them were
(12:38):
hidden all these drones. And so as they got closer
to where the military targets were, Ukraine opened up the
roofs and the drones flew out and attacked.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
They looked like they were basically containers on college on
trucks like you were describing, and it wasn't they well
they opened it up, but it was remote control. They
the roofs were mechanized, so someone pulled the remote control,
the tops rolled off somehow, and the drones all took
off and went for this airfield.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So modern day trojan horse.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Exactly what that was.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And a third of the Russian air force of those
bombers were put out, forty of them forty big time.
It cost billions of dollars and years to replace them.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
And the drones were like something you could they.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Were modified five hundred dollars drones Amazon.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So you take out an eight hundred million dollar bomber
five hundred million dollar bomber with a five hundred dollars drone.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Okay, war has gotten interesting? Hasn't it work?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Smarter not harder?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
A lot of controversy surrounding this.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
A transgender athlete best did the competition Saturday at the
California High School Track and Field Competition to take home
the gold and the girl's high jump and triple jump
at a meat Obviously, people have a lot of different
views about this. The individual's name ab Hernandez finished the
(14:11):
high jump with a mark of five feet seven inches
one point seven meters with no failed attents, but there
were co winners, is it Jelene Jelene Wetteland and Leilanie.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Exactly, well said this is you remember they changed the rules.
We talked about this last last week. Where this track
and field you have the winner who if it's trans,
if she usually of course he has to be a
she because it's women's sports. Is a trans then the
non trans net the next one up is also a winner,
(14:53):
so there are two winners.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
If a trans wins, it's it's insanity.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
I don't understand how that work though, because I thought
with the high jump, you keep going until you right
well clear the highest turtles.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I know, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't understand because well, first of all, she would
have won, and then they have to go back to
you know what do we do.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
We follow the CIF rules and do rules. I don't
understand any of it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I really don't. I'm waiting for the gender relief parties
where you have, you know, these explosions of both blue
and pink talcum powder flying in the air because and
you say, my kid's a hermaphrodite. It's just it's become
completely crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I would do that, by the way, or okay, let's
move on.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
So there's got to be some we're not stupid people,
there's got to be some way to think through this
so that.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, it's real easy.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Trans women cannot compete because the physiologically they are different.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
So that one is different.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
But if they're athletes, they should be able to compete somewhere.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, Again, in the sports, you have paralegal or you
have the Paralympics, which didn't exist before. Yeah, those are
just people want to be lawyers. They have their own,
but Paralympics they have. And I don't know why you
can't have, you know, LGBTQ Olympics.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Well, you wouldn't have LGBTQ.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It just for trans well not necessarily, you have a
trans division of it.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Right, but I mean if you're if you're lesbian, you
can still run with the women, right.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Well you yeah, you have to run with the women
because you're dear.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
It wouldn't be an LGBTQ category.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But no, but you have let me put it this way.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You you would have day runners right because they're it's
a disadvantage. They're running in two two's and they have
bows around their neck and it's just not the same.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Uh no, no.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's visual two twos.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Let's just move on, OKAYU.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
On a much more serious subject, Terror and Bolder, A
group was out supporting the release of hostages held by
Hamas on a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado. When someone
comes up and hurls what appears to be like a
homemade flamethrower or Molotov cocktail or something at the group
(17:18):
basically burns them. Eight people are injured, four men, four women.
We don't know their condition, but we know it is
at least very serious. The guy was yelling free Palestine
and was taken into custody without incident to police.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Did you see the video.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
They have a video of him with the two bottles
in his hands, one in each hand, glass bottles, clearly
which had yasoline in him because some flammable liquid, and
he's screaming, and they have the video of him doing it,
doesn't show him throwing the bottles or somehow igniting the
fla flammable liquid on someone.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I mean, two people are in real trouble there too. Medically.
It's pretty horrific, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
All right, we're gonna take a break and come back
and we'll engage in more Handle on the News.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Good morning, everybody. Handle here.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It is a Monday morning, June two, as we're getting
close to summertime.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Solstice is at twenty first, right Amy.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
It's actually on Friday seventh, the twentieth.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh the twentieth this year.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, ye, fair enough, all right, let's do it. More
Handle on the News with Amy neil Me.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
All right, this is scary if you think about it.
Law enforcement investigation is underway. They're looking into the fact
that somebody tried to impersonate penal President Donald Trump's chief
of staff, Susie Wiles, and I guess they were writing,
(18:54):
texting and doing things to senators, being in contact with governors,
top u, US business executives and very well known figures
that received these text messages phone calls from a person
who claimed to be the chief of staff. So you
could see where that would be problematic.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, and some of them, some of the recipients said,
we knew something was wrong, you know, just the way
the messages were written. So you know, I don't know
how much damage was done, but yeah, you know, you
don't want to do that chief of staff to the
President of United States, And all of a sudden, these
fake texts and emails are going out.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I can see the problem now.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Well, and they're using AI too, so it sounds like
Susie Wise.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Just sounds it.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And when you you know, but when you see a
text that goes out to one of the department heads
from Susie Willis's what are you wearing today, sailor?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You know you know something is wrong.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
You know, if we we were trying to imitate you,
we'd have to type in the prompt to do malaprops
and misspeaks and excellent.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
If these companies have pride, they're not owing it this
Pride Month. A lot of retail chains and brands are
keeping quiet. Companies treading lightly, avoiding big campaigns that have
been done in the past that you may remember, windows
with rainbow flags and LGBTQ themed T shirts and coffee
(20:18):
mugs at the entrances target. They're scaling that way back
this year, wary of provoking right wing customers and activists.
And they say they also are refering reprint reprisals from
the Trump administration. A lot of businesses too, say they're
tightening their advertising spending because of economic concern.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But how much of it is the I'd love to
see the proportion of the decrease of spending total relative
to the LGBTQ the pride advertising they do. You know
what's interesting is over nine percent of the population now
identifies as LGBTQ. It's a lot of people. That is
a lot of people, and these companies are caught between
(21:01):
a rock and a hard place.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Which way do you go? You know, pride used to
do be a thing.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Now good luck now because the power of the right wing,
which is what we're going through at this point in life.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
It's a shame because there was a lot of progress,
and I think the trans question is a hard one
to swallow across the board from people.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Notice you use the word progress. There'd be a lot
of people who disagree with that. Describing what was going
in that direction is progress. They would be calling it regressive.
Move back back to the anti Bible.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Days right now. I just men were men and women
were women.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
No, I can show you some. I can show you
gays in the Bible. Really absolutely who was gay in
the Bible? There were I'm not a big Bible guy.
I don't read the Bible, so I just read.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You know, for this man, there's man on man and
woman on woman sex in scripture referenced.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Seriously they could.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
If they made an accurate movie of the Bible, there
would be no Christian that would be allowed to see it.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well, he said the Old Testament, man, I love the
God of the Old Testament.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
That was one rough guy. Uh you know you went
on his rough side.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Man, you die, you were a slave, or you died,
or your wife became a pillar of salt and your
otherwise became seasoned pepper.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
But you get some tequila and live.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, I know, I know that with your wife. All right.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I'm so sorry to have to be the one to
read this.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I feel like this is going to cause problems between
handle and me. So US Health and Human Services Secretary
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, going after all the things that
cause chronic health prices in America or whatever. He thinks
zero calories, zero had sugar, But experts say diet coke
(23:02):
is not generally considered a healthy beverage.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
All kinds of studies show.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
May increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. We hey,
we witnessed this on a daily basis.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
News will suck down his coke. When you were saying that,
you know what.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
They're saying, though, This is about the sweetener, the artificial I.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Know what I use. Asked me. You know, I do
nothing but drink aspartain my iced tea, and I just.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Think about That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
So they're going after diet coke, but I put artificial sweeteners.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, it's Esprestle each day. Yeah, how is that different?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It's not And okay, go on, I just don't want
to hear that because it's just not true.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Sorry, I didn't upset your buddy.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You know, certain things.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
There's a lie, you know, I you know when I
hear fake news, the term fake news.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You know, I am. Come on, except once in a while,
it's true.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah that it is, no bias, no bias. Okay, Ham
and cheese sandwiches will kill you too.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's true. That's true. Amy, one last one before we
take a break.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
So there's a new protective net up at Dodgers Stadium.
But it's not for foul balls. It's for falling concrete.
The Dodgers put some netting around a small section of
the upper deck at the stadium on Saturday after a
chunk of concrete fell on a fan during Friday, the
night's game against the Yankees. It hit the fan from
(24:34):
above in section ten of the reserve level, right along
the first baseline. The fan did receive medical attention, but
then said, I'm okay. Stayed for the rest of the game.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
So are we going to have a falling concrete day
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Now they put net up.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Oh that's a shame. All right, let's take a break,
we'll come back. Let's finish handle on the news with
Amy neil Me.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
In the category of rotten hell. California State Parole Board
recommended parole for Patricia Crenwinkle, a follower of the cult
leader Charles Manson.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
This was on Friday. This is the second time.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
She's seventy seven years old now serving a life sentence
in California Institution for Women in her role of the
killings of the pregnant actor Sharon Tate and four other
people there in August of nineteen sixty nine. And it
looks like, you know, this has to go through the
governor's review and the parole board hearing and all of that.
(25:36):
But this can take up to one hundred and fifty
days or so. And last time Gavin k Newso gave
it the big thumbs down, and I hope.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
He does the same thing this time.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Well, he's the way it works. Parole Board says, yep,
she's ready for parole.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
We're okay with it, and then goes to the governor
and the governor says no, thank you, and can deny it.
And this is one of the situations where it's one
of the things parole board does is say yay your
name based on and usually whether they're still a risk
to society. Well, you got a seventy seven year old
or a seventy five year old, there's no risk anymore
of going out and killing people.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
But sometimes the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Crime is so horrific that there's just no chance, there's
no thank you. You're going to spend the rest of
your life in jail, especially someone like this who was
originally given the death sentence for the murder. I mean,
these murders were heinous. This isn't your normal just killing people,
part of the Manson murders. And so is she going
to be let out? Yeah? Probably men, she's been in
(26:33):
prison for so long. I told you I went to
the Manson trials. I went to a couple of.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
No graduation for you.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
The twenty twenty five class president at MIT was barred
from going to her graduation ceremony on Friday after she
delivered a speech on Thursday denouncing the war in Gaza.
It was a commencement event. She will still get her degree,
according to mi T, but the class president was supposed
to be the speaker at the one MIT commencement ceremony.
(27:11):
She took the podium though with a cafia I don't
know how to say, yeah, which is a symbol of
pro Palestinian solidarity, draped over a graduation robe. But she
went on to praise her peers for protesting the war
in Gaza and criticized the university's ties to Israel, and
then MIT pulled the plug on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They said, no, thank you. You know, we're not going
to have that kind of a political statement.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
But you all seen the key of it, particularly that
that head garb that is worn by a lot of
h in this case the Palestinians. Theirs have a very
distinctive head covering. It looks like they went to an
Italian restaurant the night before and stole the tablecloth and
are now wearing it.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
It's like the red and white and the black and
white checkered Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Yeah, the check I actually have that one. I brought
one back from Jordan when I when I visited, right,
we went.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, I didn't get the Palestinian one, but I got
the white one, right, because the Saudis wear white.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And I think I have black black, and.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
They also you can see black certain groups where black.
I think Moroccan they wear black and the black Cafiet
and the Palestinians have their own. And it's political statement
today to say that, and I just said, no politics,
it's just not going to happen. Also, being pro Palestinian
and not so much, you know, that doesn't really fly.
What they did during the Vietnam War. I think there
(28:36):
were people that also graduates who you know, wore t
shirts and things, and I think they got nailed to
saying no, you're not going to down the graduation with that.
I went down with a hat, that chef's hat.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, I said, law on it.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah, I did big.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Your parents must have been so proud.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Proud, beyond belief. Do we have that picture, by.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
The way, I've seen it on your post before.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, do we have it.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I don't have it at archives. I have to find
it and we'll send it out.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
We don't have the bill Handle Photograph archive. If that's
what you're wondering.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
You have a lot of bill Handle Archive. You have
a lot of archives of everybody.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I'm just saying that there isn't. It's not like you know,
Smithsonian or something.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You know, but you have tons of you know, Conway stuff,
and tons of John and Ken stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You've got plenty.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, we don't have any room for you.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Well, there you go. That's something else.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It's all co belt, all right, Huntington Beach.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
If you were listening to Tavid King earlier in the news,
city officials in Huntington Beach enforcing a crackdown on street vending.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Now this this isn't across the board. They do.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
You can get a permit to do this, selling food, merchandise,
these types of things in public, but you can't do
it in certain areas. So that on the beach, the Pier,
Pacific Coast Highway, downtown district. That's the no no, and
they're enforcing it.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
It's been on the books since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, that just a permit, and they should make it.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Here's the problem with this is you got the food
vendors that are in brick and mortar stores and you
have a taco a little card or.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Selling hot dogs or selling fruit.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Now you're talking about interfering with and competing, and I
think the way you do it the way you get
a permitted, you get a certain location, and it cannot compete.
The food cannot compete with what's behind there in a store.
That makes all this that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
They said the same thing about, you know, the food trucks,
because they park icee food trucks park right in front
of restaurants.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Selling the same kind of food.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Well, not necessarily the exact same, but trust me, in
Los Angeles, you can't have a taco cart without being
within one hundred feet of a taco you know, brick.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
And mortar restaurant that serves tacos. All right, we're done, guys,
Finish feenee.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Coming up.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
The environmental law that California passed decades ago. It was
considered the most restrictive environmental law. You know, they're getting
rid of it. They said, okay, we're done with that.
It makes no sense, and I'll share that with you
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (31:18):

the druids, you know, druids.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Being clearly wear the druids.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
No, they wear that those white things. You know Stonehenge.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's you ever go to stoneh and you really are
looking for the people who dance around, you know, with
you know, cutting off chicken heads and you know, chicken
blood flying all over the place.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
And do you know that you can't go do that anymore?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, I know they put the fence around Stonehenge. Bastards.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
That's why we didn't go visit stoneh.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
That's yeah, it's just it is a waste.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Now you just have a fence around it and you
can't dance around stone hinge.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You actually used to be able to walk through stonehenge.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I know, wouldn't that be the cool part of it?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, it was great. And then they and and people
pretended they were druids would do that too. That was
the fun part where you look at the lunatics going
through there and uh, you know, chanting things and there
are no bushes around there, but uh, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It's on the it's on the Salisbury Steak plane. You
know that, don't you.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh boy?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
The in Machu Pichu, that's one of the things that
I loved about it is that there's no fencing.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You just walk. No, you just walk in the grass
and hanging out.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, you have to get in, I mean they have
an entrance, but yeah, you just there.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It is.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And people hike for four days of hiking the Macha Picchi,
they're out of their minds.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And they have a bus. Much easier, much yeah, much easier.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Okay, you fly into Cusco, where you instantly go into
the death zone because it's eleven thousand feet Cousco and
they have oxygen in the hotel rooms.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh no, I remember Costco. My wife got pretty heavy
altitude sickness.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, so did Barbara, very sick. Okay, let me say
hello to everybody real quickly. Amy, Good morning, Hi, Bill, Hi.
Who did not go to Stonehenge, which is a waste
of time?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Now, we did not. We went to the White Cliffs
of Dover instead.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Those you don't need. Those don't have walls or fences
around them. By the way, you can look up the
Salisbury Steak planes because that's where Stonehenge is without the
steak part.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Okay, Well, good morning.

Good morning Willie Wolf happy.

all be able to talk to one another.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's gonna be a fun event.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Now we are probably not going to do ask Handle

Speaker 1 (04:41):
My memory's already gone. That You go to the iHeartRadio
app and then click on the bill Handle show, which
only during the course of the show can you do that,
and then on to the microphone in the upper right
hand corner, and tell us either why you should have
dinner with us or why you want to have dinner
(05:01):
with us.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
That's it, those two questions.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And please don't oh because I love the show, because
I've been listening for such a long time, I don't
want to hear Oh, I grew up with your show,
crapp ole, don't want to hear it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And here's what happens.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
We'll get some of the better calls we've already done
a few, played a few, and then all those names
will go into a hat and we pull out five.
So you can continue doing that during the course of
the show if you'd like to be invited, and we
are going to. By the way, this is just an
excuse to eat at the Anaheim White House. You know
that I'll come up with any excuse to eat there
(05:35):
and not have to pay, So I'm fine with that. Oh,
I forgot to tell you. If you win, you get
to pay for our dinner.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
What a lot of entries were like Listen, I don't
even care about the show.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm just broke and want a free meal.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
See that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
See that's good stuff, all right, you know that's not bad,
all right?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So we had that going on.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
If you still want to call and ask Candle anything,
I'd love to have you do that, but everybody is
so hard up for a free meal.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
And by the way, it really is worthwhile to go there.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I mean, it is probably my most most dis favorite restaurant,
sit down restaurant, designation resident, resident restaurant.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
All right, let's do it, guys, I've got plenty to cover.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Boy, what a week broke? What did you just stroke
out on the air?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
What I just do?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Designation a.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Designation restaurant?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, destination restauran.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah that too.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's a designation restaurant that is also a destination restaurant.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I think that is.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Wow, that's true.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
The dog Linds is coming down with the dogs. By
the way.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Uh, you've got to get trumpets or something.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But I know, I know it's this one's loud. This
is loud, and I left the door.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Open to all right, anyway, are you ready for the
designation show we're about to do.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, you know, was a dog, it'd be put down.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I know. I don't management as they've already stopped telling
us what to do on the show.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
They've given up the ghost. You know that don't you.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
See now the elevator is going down. See you have
to call it to go up. Uh, and then it
has to be called then you have to take it down.
So that's what you're hearing in the background. You know,
it generally only happens once.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Do you take the elevator down in the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I do because I'm my foot I'm in a boot, right,
I'm in a boot, and I get my pin out
on Friday and then I'll be able to walk down.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
You just call it up to the top and stay
at the top.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, it's a weird. Yeah you can, and I do.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
But yeah, I don't know why it went twice and
should only have gone down one, not because I took
it down this morning and then it to No, I
can't send it back up. It doesn't have It's not
a blast oh five thousand A lame.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Oh, it is not a lame. It is not a lame.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's one of those pneumatic tube elevators. They're really neat,
like all the pieces. No, yeah, yeah, but a big
but a big version.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Do you know what it looks like?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
A transporter beam sort of an enclosed transporter device on
Star on Star Trek it's around the cylinder plexiglass. They
just go up and down. You can take a look
at it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Look under pneumatic elevators on the U just.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
To do a Google search and you'll see what they
look like. Very very neat, very neat things. And I've
put one in and the reason I put in my
last house too, because what happens with people by two
this is think about this for a moment and it
makes sense. First of all, if you have a foot problem,
I mean a real foot problem, I would have to
be sleeping downstairs for two weeks with my foot surgery
(08:58):
because I couldn't walk up the stairs.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
That's for starters.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Second of all, is we all live in two story homes.
Very few people live in single story homes.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, you know, I got to tell you.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
People get old and when you hit a certain age,
which I hit yesterday, it's you have to move.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
You can't walk up the stairs anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
When people get old, it's just difficult and you have
to sell your house.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And with an elevator, you don't you stay there. And
I'm pardoned.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Oh it's not his birthday, No, No, what did you.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Say about yesterday?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
He was just getting old and I said yesterday it
happened to me.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Okay, let's do let's do it. Handle on the news,
Amy Neil and me lead.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Story as horrible story coming out of Gaza. Thirty people killed,
hundreds wounded, and it was at an aid center in Israel.
Course said, oh no, we didn't do it, and basically
everybody else said that Israel did it, and thirty one
(10:01):
people have been killed. What Israel is doing to the Palestinians,
the people of Gaza is unconscionable, unconscionable.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I am surprised that Israel.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Has not yet been designated a pariah country, where other
countries have just stopped having relations with them, pulling ambassadors
and just cutting off, cutting off connections with the country.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Just shocked.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I think a lot of it has to do with
that Gaza is controlled by terrorists and that's what they're about,
and the fight against Hamas is legitimate. The problem is
that the Palestinians live there, and over fifty thousand have
been killed. We don't know how many are fighters, probably
about a third.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Which means two thirds of those people killed.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Two thirds of fifty four thousand people are a lot
of men, women and children who are innocent.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
All right, let's take a break.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
We'll come back and then we'll really dive into the
news and I'll take a ride up and down the
elevator if you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Oh, I got a new name for your for your house.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh okay, oh good, don't we'll do that when we
come back.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
No, I'll do it right now. But what its perishing palace?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The perishing palace.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Because you got an elevator so you could die there.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh yeah, that's not bad. We'll tell that's another thing.
We'll have a contest with that too. It's the Bill
Handle show.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
No, No, I'm here, I'm here. I was talking to
Linz all right. She came in. We were talking out
so totally distracted.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
We were talking about her coming down the elevator in
the morning, and she suggested Cono that when you hear
the elevator, you break out in some kind of coronation music.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That was her idea, you know, as we make a
fan fare.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
As Amy pointed out the elevator this morning and started laughing.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Okay, guys, oh yeah, we have a show to do.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
We're in the middle of the new aren't we.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yes, Okay, well, there you are, all right, Uh, let's
go ahead and do that more.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Handle on the news with Amy and Neil and me.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Ukraine may be down, but it's not out. It hit
Russia in a big way.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Ukrainian forces used drones to destroy dozens of Russian warplanes
deep inside Russian territories. So what they did this is
absolutely fascinating, is they had basically what looked like mobile
homes on the back of trucks and in them were
(12:38):
hidden all these drones. And so as they got closer
to where the military targets were, Ukraine opened up the
roofs and the drones flew out and attacked.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
They looked like they were basically containers on college on
trucks like you were describing, and it wasn't they well
they opened it up, but it was remote control. They
the roofs were mechanized, so someone pulled the remote control,
the tops rolled off somehow, and the drones all took
off and went for this airfield.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So modern day trojan horse.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Exactly what that was.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And a third of the Russian air force of those
bombers were put out, forty of them forty big time.
It cost billions of dollars and years to replace them.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
And the drones were like something you could they.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Were modified five hundred dollars drones Amazon.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So you take out an eight hundred million dollar bomber
five hundred million dollar bomber with a five hundred dollars drone.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Okay, war has gotten interesting? Hasn't it work?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Smarter not harder?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
A lot of controversy surrounding this.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
A transgender athlete best did the competition Saturday at the
California High School Track and Field Competition to take home
the gold and the girl's high jump and triple jump
at a meat Obviously, people have a lot of different
views about this. The individual's name ab Hernandez finished the
(14:11):
high jump with a mark of five feet seven inches
one point seven meters with no failed attents, but there
were co winners, is it Jelene Jelene Wetteland and Leilanie.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Exactly, well said this is you remember they changed the rules.
We talked about this last last week. Where this track
and field you have the winner who if it's trans,
if she usually of course he has to be a
she because it's women's sports. Is a trans then the
non trans net the next one up is also a winner,
(14:53):
so there are two winners.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
If a trans wins, it's it's insanity.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
I don't understand how that work though, because I thought
with the high jump, you keep going until you right
well clear the highest turtles.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I know, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't understand because well, first of all, she would
have won, and then they have to go back to
you know what do we do.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
We follow the CIF rules and do rules. I don't
understand any of it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I really don't. I'm waiting for the gender relief parties
where you have, you know, these explosions of both blue
and pink talcum powder flying in the air because and
you say, my kid's a hermaphrodite. It's just it's become
completely crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I would do that, by the way, or okay, let's
move on.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
So there's got to be some we're not stupid people,
there's got to be some way to think through this
so that.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, it's real easy.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Trans women cannot compete because the physiologically they are different.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
So that one is different.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
But if they're athletes, they should be able to compete somewhere.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, Again, in the sports, you have paralegal or you
have the Paralympics, which didn't exist before. Yeah, those are
just people want to be lawyers. They have their own,
but Paralympics they have. And I don't know why you
can't have, you know, LGBTQ Olympics.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Well, you wouldn't have LGBTQ.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It just for trans well not necessarily, you have a
trans division of it.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Right, but I mean if you're if you're lesbian, you
can still run with the women, right.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Well you yeah, you have to run with the women
because you're dear.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
It wouldn't be an LGBTQ category.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But no, but you have let me put it this way.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You you would have day runners right because they're it's
a disadvantage. They're running in two two's and they have
bows around their neck and it's just not the same.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Uh no, no.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's visual two twos.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Let's just move on, OKAYU.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
On a much more serious subject, Terror and Bolder, A
group was out supporting the release of hostages held by
Hamas on a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado. When someone
comes up and hurls what appears to be like a
homemade flamethrower or Molotov cocktail or something at the group
(17:18):
basically burns them. Eight people are injured, four men, four women.
We don't know their condition, but we know it is
at least very serious. The guy was yelling free Palestine
and was taken into custody without incident to police.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Did you see the video.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
They have a video of him with the two bottles
in his hands, one in each hand, glass bottles, clearly
which had yasoline in him because some flammable liquid, and
he's screaming, and they have the video of him doing it,
doesn't show him throwing the bottles or somehow igniting the
fla flammable liquid on someone.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I mean, two people are in real trouble there too. Medically.
It's pretty horrific, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
All right, we're gonna take a break and come back
and we'll engage in more Handle on the News.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Good morning, everybody. Handle here.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It is a Monday morning, June two, as we're getting
close to summertime.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Solstice is at twenty first, right Amy.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
It's actually on Friday seventh, the twentieth.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh the twentieth this year.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, ye, fair enough, all right, let's do it. More
Handle on the News with Amy neil Me.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
All right, this is scary if you think about it.
Law enforcement investigation is underway. They're looking into the fact
that somebody tried to impersonate penal President Donald Trump's chief
of staff, Susie Wiles, and I guess they were writing,
(18:54):
texting and doing things to senators, being in contact with governors,
top u, US business executives and very well known figures
that received these text messages phone calls from a person
who claimed to be the chief of staff. So you
could see where that would be problematic.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, and some of them, some of the recipients said,
we knew something was wrong, you know, just the way
the messages were written. So you know, I don't know
how much damage was done, but yeah, you know, you
don't want to do that chief of staff to the
President of United States, And all of a sudden, these
fake texts and emails are going out.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I can see the problem now.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Well, and they're using AI too, so it sounds like
Susie Wise.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Just sounds it.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And when you you know, but when you see a
text that goes out to one of the department heads
from Susie Willis's what are you wearing today, sailor?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You know you know something is wrong.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
You know, if we we were trying to imitate you,
we'd have to type in the prompt to do malaprops
and misspeaks and excellent.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
If these companies have pride, they're not owing it this
Pride Month. A lot of retail chains and brands are
keeping quiet. Companies treading lightly, avoiding big campaigns that have
been done in the past that you may remember, windows
with rainbow flags and LGBTQ themed T shirts and coffee
(20:18):
mugs at the entrances target. They're scaling that way back
this year, wary of provoking right wing customers and activists.
And they say they also are refering reprint reprisals from
the Trump administration. A lot of businesses too, say they're
tightening their advertising spending because of economic concern.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But how much of it is the I'd love to
see the proportion of the decrease of spending total relative
to the LGBTQ the pride advertising they do. You know
what's interesting is over nine percent of the population now
identifies as LGBTQ. It's a lot of people. That is
a lot of people, and these companies are caught between
(21:01):
a rock and a hard place.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Which way do you go? You know, pride used to
do be a thing.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Now good luck now because the power of the right wing,
which is what we're going through at this point in life.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
It's a shame because there was a lot of progress,
and I think the trans question is a hard one
to swallow across the board from people.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Notice you use the word progress. There'd be a lot
of people who disagree with that. Describing what was going
in that direction is progress. They would be calling it regressive.
Move back back to the anti Bible.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Days right now. I just men were men and women
were women.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
No, I can show you some. I can show you
gays in the Bible. Really absolutely who was gay in
the Bible? There were I'm not a big Bible guy.
I don't read the Bible, so I just read.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You know, for this man, there's man on man and
woman on woman sex in scripture referenced.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Seriously they could.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
If they made an accurate movie of the Bible, there
would be no Christian that would be allowed to see it.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well, he said the Old Testament, man, I love the
God of the Old Testament.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
That was one rough guy. Uh you know you went
on his rough side.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Man, you die, you were a slave, or you died,
or your wife became a pillar of salt and your
otherwise became seasoned pepper.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
But you get some tequila and live.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, I know, I know that with your wife. All right.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I'm so sorry to have to be the one to
read this.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I feel like this is going to cause problems between
handle and me. So US Health and Human Services Secretary
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, going after all the things that
cause chronic health prices in America or whatever. He thinks
zero calories, zero had sugar, But experts say diet coke
(23:02):
is not generally considered a healthy beverage.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
All kinds of studies show.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
May increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. We hey,
we witnessed this on a daily basis.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
News will suck down his coke. When you were saying that,
you know what.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
They're saying, though, This is about the sweetener, the artificial I.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Know what I use. Asked me. You know, I do
nothing but drink aspartain my iced tea, and I just.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Think about That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
So they're going after diet coke, but I put artificial sweeteners.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, it's Esprestle each day. Yeah, how is that different?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It's not And okay, go on, I just don't want
to hear that because it's just not true.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Sorry, I didn't upset your buddy.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You know, certain things.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
There's a lie, you know, I you know when I
hear fake news, the term fake news.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You know, I am. Come on, except once in a while,
it's true.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah that it is, no bias, no bias. Okay, Ham
and cheese sandwiches will kill you too.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's true. That's true. Amy, one last one before we
take a break.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
So there's a new protective net up at Dodgers Stadium.
But it's not for foul balls. It's for falling concrete.
The Dodgers put some netting around a small section of
the upper deck at the stadium on Saturday after a
chunk of concrete fell on a fan during Friday, the
night's game against the Yankees. It hit the fan from
(24:34):
above in section ten of the reserve level, right along
the first baseline. The fan did receive medical attention, but
then said, I'm okay. Stayed for the rest of the game.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
So are we going to have a falling concrete day
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Now they put net up.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Oh that's a shame. All right, let's take a break,
we'll come back. Let's finish handle on the news with
Amy neil Me.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
In the category of rotten hell. California State Parole Board
recommended parole for Patricia Crenwinkle, a follower of the cult
leader Charles Manson.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
This was on Friday. This is the second time.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
She's seventy seven years old now serving a life sentence
in California Institution for Women in her role of the
killings of the pregnant actor Sharon Tate and four other
people there in August of nineteen sixty nine. And it
looks like, you know, this has to go through the
governor's review and the parole board hearing and all of that.
(25:36):
But this can take up to one hundred and fifty
days or so. And last time Gavin k Newso gave
it the big thumbs down, and I hope.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
He does the same thing this time.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Well, he's the way it works. Parole Board says, yep,
she's ready for parole.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
We're okay with it, and then goes to the governor
and the governor says no, thank you, and can deny it.
And this is one of the situations where it's one
of the things parole board does is say yay your
name based on and usually whether they're still a risk
to society. Well, you got a seventy seven year old
or a seventy five year old, there's no risk anymore
of going out and killing people.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
But sometimes the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Crime is so horrific that there's just no chance, there's
no thank you. You're going to spend the rest of
your life in jail, especially someone like this who was
originally given the death sentence for the murder. I mean,
these murders were heinous. This isn't your normal just killing people,
part of the Manson murders. And so is she going
to be let out? Yeah? Probably men, she's been in
(26:33):
prison for so long. I told you I went to
the Manson trials. I went to a couple of.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
No graduation for you.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
The twenty twenty five class president at MIT was barred
from going to her graduation ceremony on Friday after she
delivered a speech on Thursday denouncing the war in Gaza.
It was a commencement event. She will still get her degree,
according to mi T, but the class president was supposed
to be the speaker at the one MIT commencement ceremony.
(27:11):
She took the podium though with a cafia I don't
know how to say, yeah, which is a symbol of
pro Palestinian solidarity, draped over a graduation robe. But she
went on to praise her peers for protesting the war
in Gaza and criticized the university's ties to Israel, and
then MIT pulled the plug on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They said, no, thank you. You know, we're not going
to have that kind of a political statement.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
But you all seen the key of it, particularly that
that head garb that is worn by a lot of
h in this case the Palestinians. Theirs have a very
distinctive head covering. It looks like they went to an
Italian restaurant the night before and stole the tablecloth and
are now wearing it.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
It's like the red and white and the black and
white checkered Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Yeah, the check I actually have that one. I brought
one back from Jordan when I when I visited, right,
we went.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, I didn't get the Palestinian one, but I got
the white one, right, because the Saudis wear white.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And I think I have black black, and.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
They also you can see black certain groups where black.
I think Moroccan they wear black and the black Cafiet
and the Palestinians have their own. And it's political statement
today to say that, and I just said, no politics,
it's just not going to happen. Also, being pro Palestinian
and not so much, you know, that doesn't really fly.
What they did during the Vietnam War. I think there
(28:36):
were people that also graduates who you know, wore t
shirts and things, and I think they got nailed to
saying no, you're not going to down the graduation with that.
I went down with a hat, that chef's hat.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, I said, law on it.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah, I did big.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Your parents must have been so proud.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Proud, beyond belief. Do we have that picture, by.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
The way, I've seen it on your post before.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, do we have it.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I don't have it at archives. I have to find
it and we'll send it out.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
We don't have the bill Handle Photograph archive. If that's
what you're wondering.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
You have a lot of bill Handle Archive. You have
a lot of archives of everybody.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I'm just saying that there isn't. It's not like you know,
Smithsonian or something.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You know, but you have tons of you know, Conway stuff,
and tons of John and Ken stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You've got plenty.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, we don't have any room for you.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Well, there you go. That's something else.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It's all co belt, all right, Huntington Beach.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
If you were listening to Tavid King earlier in the news,
city officials in Huntington Beach enforcing a crackdown on street vending.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Now this this isn't across the board. They do.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
You can get a permit to do this, selling food, merchandise,
these types of things in public, but you can't do
it in certain areas. So that on the beach, the Pier,
Pacific Coast Highway, downtown district. That's the no no, and
they're enforcing it.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
It's been on the books since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, that just a permit, and they should make it.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Here's the problem with this is you got the food
vendors that are in brick and mortar stores and you
have a taco a little card or.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Selling hot dogs or selling fruit.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Now you're talking about interfering with and competing, and I
think the way you do it the way you get
a permitted, you get a certain location, and it cannot compete.
The food cannot compete with what's behind there in a store.
That makes all this that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
They said the same thing about, you know, the food trucks,
because they park icee food trucks park right in front
of restaurants.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Selling the same kind of food.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Well, not necessarily the exact same, but trust me, in
Los Angeles, you can't have a taco cart without being
within one hundred feet of a taco you know, brick.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
And mortar restaurant that serves tacos. All right, we're done, guys,
Finish feenee.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Coming up.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
The environmental law that California passed decades ago. It was
considered the most restrictive environmental law. You know, they're getting
rid of it. They said, okay, we're done with that.
It makes no sense, and I'll share that with you
when we come back.
