Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Here's what I want to do. If our friend who
was deported is able to show up, Neil, we have
to put her next to him. Rodrigo will not be
showing up. He's already gone. You can call him in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I mean, good morning everybody, Bill Handle here. By the
way that promove it made no sense to you. That
was in reference to this event we're having tomorrow night
at the Anaheim White House, and we have five winners
of a contest, one of them being Rodrigo. And I
had mentioned that Rodrigo will be there in spirit only
(00:55):
because he has already been deported.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Gabe, it was his talkback was entirely.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
All in Spanish, very kind.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Then we found out that another winner used to work for.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Ice. Yeah, that's why I'm going to put both of
them together. It's going to be a really entertaining evening,
to say the least. All Right, Will Colesreiber, good morning, Will,
Good morning, sir. Oh you're all in black. You're going
to a funeral today.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'm doing my Cono impression.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You know what, not bad, not bad, Okay, not bad.
But you need a hat more than he needs a hat.
Woa the baseball hat. Whoa, that's true. Anyway, there's con O,
good morning, and Neil there you are, Amy, and everybody
is hello, hello, hello, hello, hello hello. All right, a
(01:49):
couple of things. When we are Astronaut Haig Colonel haigu
is showing up on the fourth or the seventeenth, right, seventeenth, yes, seventeenth.
He will be in stut Video, and of course I
will be there because we are being fed any idea
as to the menu at this point, because that is
critically important.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
No, nope, we're still working on that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Sure, all right, Neil and I will help with the menu.
As a matter of fact, Neil and I are thinking
of putting together a KFI night just at the Anaheim
White House sometime this summer, where he and I are
going to design the menu, and there is I'm already
(02:35):
working on my handle part of the menu that I'm
going to bring to the table.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Okay, which is absolutely inedible by its.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Bo that's besides the point. But it's it's going to
be very strong in one.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Right, you could destroy the whole reputation of white of
the White House.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, absolutely, I was. I had an idea for ice cream,
but I was told that if we do that with
the ice cream maker, they were going to have to
throw it away afterwards. So that's kind of off that. Yeah,
that's kind of off the table I was doing. I
was gonna do a smoked cod ice cream and thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You realize that this is supposed to be edible.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yes, well, well, okay, fair enough, all right, you guys ready,
we got a lot of fun stuff to do. First
of all, we have Foody Friday that's coming up at
eight o'clock, some Costco news food and Costco of course,
and then asps club news too. There's some Sam's Club news,
which I don't go to. I don't know where. Then,
I don't even know. I don't think I've ever gone
(03:38):
into a Sam's Club.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
They're they're great, there's just not as many of them.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, a couple of days ago, I went to both
Costco and Trader Joe's same same day.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Do you change outfits or do you, like, uh, get
the lipstick off your collar before you go to the
other ones?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
No, I put a mask on. Yeah, I put a
hoodie on and where a black mask. So people think
I'm going to bomb the place. But no, when I
go to Trader Joe's, because when I go to Trader Joe's,
it's spelled tr A tr ai t o R Trader
(04:15):
Joe's because of you see costco guy. All Right, fair enough,
let's do it, guys. We've got plenty to talk about today.
I'll also ask handle anything a thirty to nine So Friday,
we always have a good time. Here we go, it's
time for news. Handle on the news with Amy and
Neil and me lead story. All Right, it doesn't get
(04:39):
more delicious than this. It truly doesn't. Not only the
entertainment value, but this is not earthshaking in the sense
of it's not destroying economy, it's not dealing with immigration,
things that are fairly important, no matter which side of
the coin you're on. This is pure entertainment. Now, it's
(04:59):
the fight between Trump and Elon Musk. And I had said,
and a lot of people had said, when must started
getting Musk started getting all of the attention when he
became head of Doze and was at the White House
constantly slept there A few nights maybe with Trump. I
don't know. And I said, man, this is not going
(05:19):
to last. You got two egomaniacs, one Donald Trump, the president,
the other one the richest guy in the world. It
is not going to work out. So there was a
first hint of a problem when Trump, when Musk left Doge.
It has devolved into a full fight between the two.
(05:43):
It's almost fisticuffs. So we're going to talk more about it.
And yesterday it literally dissolved into this public fight. And
not only it's mainly on social media, but it's tremendous.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It is the best. It is public breakup in history.
It is fantastic. It is so magical. I saw some
fake posts two that were hilarious. One where Trump was
telling Elon that he wanted his records back, even his
Abba albums that he said he could keep. He wants
(06:21):
those back. But it is ugly. Elon posted a photo
of the promotional poster for the movie Kill Bill, referencing
the bill the Big Beautiful Bill killed the Bill.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
So he's saying that Epstein the files won't come out.
In the Epstein files won't come out because Trump's all over.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It, and there's no and by the way, there's no evidence,
and he could be named in the file. We're talking
about Musk accusing Trump of being named in the Epstein file.
The number of people who Epstein named in the files
are incredible because the guy was a socialite New York.
Everybody knew everybody well.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
And even said he knew Epstein, but he said yea,
the kind of ended their face.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I don't know, I don't die. And even if he
didn't think he was a creep big deal, who the
hell knew at that point. So anyway, we're gonna do
a lot of this at seven o'clock.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
See, I tell you guys on wake up call that
Bill would be digging into this one.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh yeah, yeah. It's a schoolyard. It's a school yard,
school yard fight. It's my dad is bigger than your dad,
and my schwantz is bigger than your schwants That's where
it's come to.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's so ugly. I you and I go out the
same way.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
No, it's not you, No, No, I disagree. It's not ugly.
It's like a sharpay is so ugly. It's beautiful, and
this is so ugly. It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yes, the big beautiful pizza sales are going through the roof.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You know's is that Trump didn't start this.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
When you think about it, No he didn't. You're right, yeah, No,
you're right. Trump held back, Actually he did, and then
it just got to be too much. He just kept
you must kept on. He kept on, prodding the bear,
prodding the bear. And you're absolutely right, Amy, and then
he finally broke down. I don't think. I don't know
(08:25):
if he if Trump has gotten personal yet with us
personal personal, I don't know if personal.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
He said he would win, he would have won without him, right.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That's not personal and that's not a personal attack. And
then he's going to cancel and he's going to cancel
some contracts. Yeah, yeah, but he doesn't.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Say he's like a low down dirty dog or anything.
He must kind of have.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeah, well, he called him something, uh, marginal Musk.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
He started with name called it's yeah, it's it's good.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I can't yeah, don't make up nollent. Yeah, absolutely all right.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Is this gonna split MAGA in half?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I mean, are they no now and dat are foul?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh No, Musk is going to lose this one big time.
There's no chance anybody could go against Trump with his supporters.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Must value on the stock market. Is stock tanked like
fourteen percent?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yes, yeah, I know, way way down. Okay, seven o'clock
to do a lot more than this. It's just too
good to be true.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Just let us be please.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
California and three other states have petitioned the US Food
and Drug Administration to ease restrictions on the abortion pill
mif of pristone. They say the drug's got a proven
safety record and says the limits that have been placed
on it are unnecessary. California Attorney General Rob Bonta says
the medication is a lifeline for millions of women who
(09:52):
need access to time sensitive, critical healthcare, especially low income
women and those who live in rural and underserved area.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Is. Yeah, they're Kennedy out doing himself. And you know
the hearings that are coming up in again about vaccines.
He's going to bring in an eight year old who's
not going to say anything and won't look anybody in
the eye prove positive as to what's going on. That's
another one who's nuts. RFK all right.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
The judge in the Shawn Ditty Comb's case delivered a
strong warning to Shawn Comb's and his lead council yesterday.
I guess what was happening is you had Sean didty
Comb's vigorously nodding to testimony. I'm guessing maybe shaking his
(10:41):
head no while directly eyeing the jury, which is forbidden,
right Bill, Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, you can. Absolutely, you cannot look at the jury.
You cannot in any way gesticulate. You cannot none of that.
You have to sit there, remain stoic. Well, occasionally people's
but there's not much they can do about that.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Isn't he accused of gesticulating someone that's not bad, that's
not bad. In this particular case, the judges said that
he's going to be removed if he does it even
once more.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There have been some great cases. Charles Manson was tossed
out first of all. I think the first time out,
what did the judge do? I think he put duct
tape on his mouth over his mouth as he sat there.
They shackled him because he was so outrageous, then threw
him out of the courtroom and had to watch the
trial in another room. So there are people that do that,
(11:37):
and you know it just that's really a way to
piss off the judge. But you know, it's this guy
is I'm guessing he is going to be convicted and
will spend the rest of his life in prison. That's
my guess.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
One can hope.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Will the duck talk Half Oversight Chair James Comer has
subpoened a former President Biden's White House physician. It's doctor
Kevin O'Connor. They initially invited O'Connor to come in for
to do it, to have a transcribed interview, but then
(12:15):
the doctor said, nah, he can't make it. They cited
legal and ethical obligations as well as physician patient privilege.
So the subpoena comes as President Trump orders an investigation
into some of the things that Biden did with his
auto pen and also cites his predecessor's cognitive decline.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, and that's the question I have because the doctor
patient privilege is a privilege that's pretty high up on
the food chain where doctors do not share information about patients.
This is the President United States, This is a guy
who runs a free world, is what we're talking about.
Does a doctor have the obligation? Yep? And is there
(13:02):
enough there? I mean, I agree that there should be
an investigation, is because if the doctor is part and
parcel of covering up cognitive inabilities that our president had.
That I don't know if that's criminal or not. I
have no idea. It may not be, because I don't
think we've ever had that issue come before the courts.
But man, I think there should be some consequences. You
(13:24):
can't do that. You can't cover up the fact that
the president has cognitive disabilities. Give me a break. So normally,
where this would be political in nature, which by the way,
I think it very well may be political in nature
because this is Republicans, and every time a Republican attacks
a Democrat, it's somewhere's politics, and when Democrats attack Republicans,
(13:50):
they're politics in there.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
But this is the other day bill that sometimes they're
not mutually exclusive, and they are not mutually exclusive.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That is correct, much like Donald Trump with his convictions, right,
was it purely political? No, it was political. But does
that mean he didn't do it? Does that mean that
he wasn't guilty of for example, that document case. So anyway,
I think everybody who was involved in hiding from the
(14:19):
American people the problems that Biden had should should be
held accountable for that. I don't know what that means
in terms of accountability.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But the autopin are they basically saying things were signed
without his cognity?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't know. No autopins are known. They're saying, yeah,
auto pins is how many documents does the president signed
in a given day?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I get why you have them.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I'm just saying that if somebody was having that done
when he didn't have the ability to do it, then
somebody wasn't. President is signing documents, which is scary.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
All of it is scary, all of it. Hiding this
from the public is crazy making. But then again morning, yeah,
thank you. J jfk was deathly ill had Addison's. Uh
his cognitive abilities were fine, but he has some very
very serious physical ailments. Yep. John F. Kennedy really, Oh yeah,
(15:19):
he was a very sick man, very sick.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
It's Addison's.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Uh it's a disease named after doctor Addison. Uh yeah,
I think it. Uh, you know what, I I don't
know exactly what addison is Addison's. I think it's a neurological,
uh disease. You're looking that up? Yes, yes, say I
should know that. I should know what Addison's is, and
I don't.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Chronic condition where the adrenal glands don't produce enough of
the hormones cortisol and.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Al dosterone.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yes, due to an autommune attack against the adrenal glands.
Without treatment, it can be life threatening.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
All right, So it's close enough. I'll take it. I'll
take it.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Okay, it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
An economic study commissioned by Disney says that Disneyland and
Disney World had an economic impact of nearly sixty seven
billion dollars nationwide that supported more than four hundred thousand
jobs across the United States. This was the Oxford Economics
Report and analyzed the impact of Disneyland Resort Anaheim in
(16:27):
twenty twenty three and then Walt Disney World resort in Orlando,
Florida in twenty twenty two to come up with these
overall numbers. But that puts here in Southern California. Put
sixteen point one billion dollars in Southern California's pocket that
directly and indirectly supported more than one hundred and two
thousand jobs.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, and I'm assuming by far the largest eplowyer in
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I would imagine.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Yeah, Russia is not letting up Russia launched a barrage
of drones and Blissa missiles across Ukraine early this morning
local time. At least four people were killed dozens of
others were injured. It happened days after Kiev launched that
raid on Moscow's fleet of strategic bombers and did a
(17:15):
lot of damage. Ukraine's president Zelensky said Russia had used
more than four hundred drones and forty missiles in the
overnight attack, making it among the largest since the war started.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
YEP. And after the conversation that President Trump had with Putin,
Putin basically said, I'm not stopping done. I'm just not stopping.
And so I think the President misread the not only
the intent, but misread the what Putin was going to
(17:48):
do and what Zalnzia was going to do. He thought
he would be able to end the war. Remember day one,
the war is over, not quite even to the point
he said, let him duke it out, because his influence
that seems to be really minimal in terms of that war.
I think, same thing with the Arab with the is
Hamas Israel war, same thing.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
They're complicated.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, speaking of complications, the Pentagon is planning to put
its military oversight of Greenland under US Northern Command. This is,
according to a report, largely symbolic gesture, but it's an
interesting time as President Donald J. Trump continues to press
for the world's largest island to break from Denmark.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, it keeps ongoing with that one, as if Denmark
is going to give up Greenland or Greenlanders are going
to give up being part of Denmark. We talked about
the symbolic, it's actually look at why right now under
the US European Command, right what does the European Command
oversee Europe? So Greenland is attached to Europe, and with
(18:54):
the President doing no, no, it's the Northern Command outside
of Europe that we're going to put the overseeing military
oversight of Greenland. So it's a move that effectively says, hey,
Denmark does not have anything to do with this, and
we're going to grab Greenland and either going to buy
(19:15):
it or they're going to vote to join US, who
the hell knows. But that's not going to happen either.
Now there will be a treaty for the rare earths.
But you know, I mean, Denmark is a strong ally
of the US anyway, all right, moving on blocked again.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
A federal judge is halted President Trump's latest attempt to
stop international students from going to Harvard University. The temporary
restraining order was issued hours after Harvard urged a district
judge to step in on an emergency basis to block
the proclamation that Trump signed the day before. It suspends
(19:55):
international visas for new students at the Ivy League university.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
So we'll see how far that goes. Lawsuits are coming. Hey, guys,
let's take an early break and we will come back
and I'll give a whole lot more time. Okay, Kono,
do you have to go to the bathroom? Well, I
got to throw up. Actually, my stomach and my I'm
not feeling well. All right, more handle on the news,
actually the Senate shit, No more handle on the news,
(20:22):
will be Let's start Amy. Nope, Neil your story.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Man, I know, listen, yeah, I know you're not well,
but I.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Am not feeling well. No, don't be concerned. I just go.
You know, thank God, there's a bathroom where I can
throw up ten minutes, ten feet from here.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I'm concerned about the show. I'm concerned about tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
We're gonna oh, I'll be fine for tomorrow. Are you kidding?
A free meal? I don't care if I'm throwing up
in my plate. You know, I don't say no to
a free meal.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I don't know that would be pleasant for the rest
of us.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Ask me if I care. It's like it's a lot
of regurgitation. It's like your favorite Oh, it's like your eagle. Okay,
how they feed their young.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
So Handel's talked about the earliest of reverse discrimin discrimination
cases before on the show, but now judges ruled nine
to zero in a case where Marlene Ames argued she
was denied a promotion because she is heterosexual.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
That cysts you. The US Supreme Court made it easier.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
On Thursday for people from majority backgrounds like whites or
straight individuals, to pursue claims alleging workplace reverse discrimination, So.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
This I guess.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
She argued that she was denied a promotion within the
Ohio Department of Youth Services because she's heterosexual. A lesbian
was hired for the job instead, and then Ames was
eventually demoted to a lower position with lower pay, with
a gay man taking her previous.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Role, and her boss was gay. That's what she was passed.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
This is pretty blatant. I mean, this story it really
has to do. It's a technical issue because to reverse discrimination,
normally you have to prove it that the employer has
a history of discriminating against the majority group racially. That's
already been proved, that's been established. There was a case
nineteen eighty two Baki versus the Regents of the University
(22:25):
of California, which a white guy was denied entrance to
medical school and an African American was put in place
and did not meet the same qualifications as the white
did per the school's requirement, per that you see. And
it went up and he won. Court said, yeah, yeah,
(22:46):
you can't do that. Race cannot be the determining factor.
And this one now is you're talking about if someone
is straight, cannot be discriminated on the basis of being straight.
So it's going both ways. Court says, discrimination is discrimination.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
No, she doesn't go both ways. That was the problem.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Yeah, okay, talk talk talk, talk talk. Apparently China and
the US are going to talk some more. So President
Trump and President She had a about an hour hour
and a half talk too. They're at an impasse, of
course with the trade tariffs, and the US is accusing
(23:29):
China not making good on the deal that they made
to lower tariffs and all of that. So President Trump
said the call was very positive and both sides have
agreed to hold more trade talks in hope of breaking
that impass.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, for sure. Let me tell you what's going on.
They're playing chicken with each other, Orange Chicken. This is
a real fight between these two. And I think she
is going to win on this one. You think, yeah,
I think a couple of reasons. Even though China is
going to be hurt more than the United States, probably China.
(24:06):
The people of China have a history of sucking it
up and going through some really bad times with the
leadership saying suck it up during Maos time during civil war.
They just do it. They're just a very stoic group people. Also,
you have a leadership a complete dictatorship there too, which helps.
So we'll see. And when the President says constructive talks, right,
(24:30):
it's or productive talks, it's that's political speech for we
went no place.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
This is an interesting story. The number of newborns in
Japan is just decreasing, but faster than projected. So the
number of annual births falling to another record low last year.
This is government data that they have. This is data
in this country is rapidly aging, shrinking population. So the
(25:01):
concern is about sustainability of the economy. Of course, national
security need young people to protect and.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, it's really simple. I mean, we're going through here
are the numbers. It's just math. The more young people,
the fewer young people that are born, the fewer people
that will work or will have a lifetime of work
to support the older people. Because people retire, and when
you have you don't sustain the retirees. You don't have
(25:37):
an economy, much like so security. So security started with
five I think it was five employee employees supporting every
single retired person, and then only for a very short
period of time. People didn't last much past sixty five.
And now I think you have two people supporting retirees
and they last forever. Who they hell dies at sixty
(26:00):
five or sixty seven, eighty more? Nobody and they were.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Was it the norm for people to uh to retire
at fifty five.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Sixty five, sixty But at one time was it the norm?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Because no, so you used to work until right before
you died.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, and sixty five, I mean a sociority kicked in
in thirty nineteen thirty five or nineteen thirty six under FDR.
And the point is it was a safety net obviously,
so people didn't starve to death, and it was but
sixty five was chosen because that's when people got old
and the retirement plan kicked in. Now it makes no
(26:35):
sense mathematically, which is why retirement today, I think is
sixty seven. And you're going to see benefits go down
because there are fewer workers that are paying into the
social security because there are fewer people. With Japan that's exacerbated.
That's one of the worst places in the world. It's
a mess.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Put that phone down.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
State Appeals Court has ruled that the state law prohibiting
drivers from texting or talking on the cell phone while
driving also makes it illegal to even hold the phone
to look at a map on the screen. So if
you're using your GPS, better have the phone on a
mount because just looking at the map on the screen
with the phone in hand can justify being pulled over
(27:21):
and being ticketed.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Now, didn't you think that only speaking on the phone
handheld would get you in trouble. But looking at a
map in your hand that you got to pass on that.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
No, my understanding is you can't have it in your
hand at all.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Yeah, you just can't have it in your hand. Period.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well, clearly that's what the law says, and the trick
is not to have it. Well, if you're going to
have it in your hand, well how do they know
they're speaking? What if you're hanging on to it. Now,
you're allowed to drive with one hand, that's not illegal.
So if you're going to speak into the phone, just
just be a ventriloquist and don't move your lips. You'll
(28:02):
do just fine. This is analysis, Okay, this is why
I'm here getting paid the big bucks for stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You put dass in analysas all right.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Paramount Global chairwoman, the controlling shareholder, Sherry Redstone, is battling cancer.
She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She is going, you know,
obviously going through that with her family. The prognosis is excellent.
But this comes, you know, like eleven months after she
agreed to sell Paramount to David Ellison's sky Dance Media
(28:40):
and so to be doing juggling that big massive sale
and being sick has got to be crazy difficult.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, and look at the politics here. Donald Trump sues
CBS over a sixty minute piece and says it was
it was an edited interview with Kamala Harris, and therefore
fraud was perpetrated on the American people and to make
him look bad and make him look and make her
look good. He sues for twenty billion dollars. That lawsuit
(29:13):
has no merit whatsoever. It is a ridiculous lawsuit. And
you know what paramount is doing. What she is doing
negotiating with the president to cave already CBS already she
has said, will cave. Why because she is selling the
company to Skydance. She has to have okay to it.
(29:35):
She has to have a governmental okay. The government can
stop it. And she wants the government to allow the sale.
And if Trump is mad, we are going to cowtow
to Trump. We will apologize and we will end. They're
negotiating how much money CBS is going to pay. And
since Trump doesn't need the money, it goes. I think
it's to the Presidential Library, Trump's Presidential library, but it is.
(29:59):
It's a troup that and by the way, all interviews
are edited, all of them.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
You can't edit it for you can't edit it that way.
I don't know why you keep saying that they're editing.
They're not talking about the fact that it was shortened
for time. They're talking about that it was crafted. Yeah,
but hang on a minute, Hold on a minute. They're
saying that substantially. That's not true.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I wish it would go to trial because I know
how sixty minutes work. I don't think. I don't think
that they do edit to make her look better.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I don't buy that they did in this case, though. Bill.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
They took an interview, they aired part of the interview,
and then when it aired again, it was different. They
had changed it, and she sounded better and more articulate
than the first time.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
All right, well, let me ask you this. They still edited,
because you know, I have experience with sixty minutes. I
was interviewed by sixty minutes. I had a second on it.
I was in front of that camera for probably two hours,
and they gave me a couple of minutes. It's what
they do, edited one hundred percent, making me look a
whole lot better because the producer happened to like what
(31:13):
I was doing. In surrogacy. She had me pro surrogacy.
It was a pure edit to make me look good
because I was a blubbered and blabbered and I was
off on tangents much like I do here.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
But they didn't air the one where you were bluffing
and blathering. I understand it.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
But they made but to make her look better is
not fraud. Is not fraud on the American people. They
did it to make her look better asient. Bill, I
know you know what. I don't buy it. And by
the way, where is the damage? Okay, so he's silly
for twenty billion dollars? Now what he won? The he won?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I saw your sixty minutes hit. They should have edited short.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
They should have edited me out. I understand. Okay, we're done. Guys.
You've been listening to The Bill handle Show. Catch My
Show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Here's what I want to do. If our friend who
was deported is able to show up, Neil, we have
to put her next to him. Rodrigo will not be
showing up. He's already gone. You can call him in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I mean, good morning everybody, Bill Handle here. By the
way that promove it made no sense to you. That
was in reference to this event we're having tomorrow night
at the Anaheim White House, and we have five winners
of a contest, one of them being Rodrigo. And I
had mentioned that Rodrigo will be there in spirit only
(00:55):
because he has already been deported.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Gabe, it was his talkback was entirely.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
All in Spanish, very kind.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Then we found out that another winner used to work for.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Ice. Yeah, that's why I'm going to put both of
them together. It's going to be a really entertaining evening,
to say the least. All Right, Will Colesreiber, good morning, Will,
Good morning, sir. Oh you're all in black. You're going
to a funeral today.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'm doing my Cono impression.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You know what, not bad, not bad, Okay, not bad.
But you need a hat more than he needs a hat.
Woa the baseball hat. Whoa, that's true. Anyway, there's con O,
good morning, and Neil there you are, Amy, and everybody
is hello, hello, hello, hello, hello hello. All right, a
(01:49):
couple of things. When we are Astronaut Haig Colonel haigu
is showing up on the fourth or the seventeenth, right, seventeenth, yes, seventeenth.
He will be in stut Video, and of course I
will be there because we are being fed any idea
as to the menu at this point, because that is
critically important.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
No, nope, we're still working on that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Sure, all right, Neil and I will help with the menu.
As a matter of fact, Neil and I are thinking
of putting together a KFI night just at the Anaheim
White House sometime this summer, where he and I are
going to design the menu, and there is I'm already
(02:35):
working on my handle part of the menu that I'm
going to bring to the table.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Okay, which is absolutely inedible by its.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Bo that's besides the point. But it's it's going to
be very strong in one.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Right, you could destroy the whole reputation of white of
the White House.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, absolutely, I was. I had an idea for ice cream,
but I was told that if we do that with
the ice cream maker, they were going to have to
throw it away afterwards. So that's kind of off that. Yeah,
that's kind of off the table I was doing. I
was gonna do a smoked cod ice cream and thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You realize that this is supposed to be edible.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yes, well, well, okay, fair enough, all right, you guys ready,
we got a lot of fun stuff to do. First
of all, we have Foody Friday that's coming up at
eight o'clock, some Costco news food and Costco of course,
and then asps club news too. There's some Sam's Club news,
which I don't go to. I don't know where. Then,
I don't even know. I don't think I've ever gone
(03:38):
into a Sam's Club.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
They're they're great, there's just not as many of them.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, a couple of days ago, I went to both
Costco and Trader Joe's same same day.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Do you change outfits or do you, like, uh, get
the lipstick off your collar before you go to the
other ones?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
No, I put a mask on. Yeah, I put a
hoodie on and where a black mask. So people think
I'm going to bomb the place. But no, when I
go to Trader Joe's, because when I go to Trader Joe's,
it's spelled tr A tr ai t o R Trader
(04:15):
Joe's because of you see costco guy. All Right, fair enough,
let's do it, guys. We've got plenty to talk about today.
I'll also ask handle anything a thirty to nine So Friday,
we always have a good time. Here we go, it's
time for news. Handle on the news with Amy and
Neil and me lead story. All Right, it doesn't get
(04:39):
more delicious than this. It truly doesn't. Not only the
entertainment value, but this is not earthshaking in the sense
of it's not destroying economy, it's not dealing with immigration,
things that are fairly important, no matter which side of
the coin you're on. This is pure entertainment. Now, it's
(04:59):
the fight between Trump and Elon Musk. And I had said,
and a lot of people had said, when must started
getting Musk started getting all of the attention when he
became head of Doze and was at the White House
constantly slept there A few nights maybe with Trump. I
don't know. And I said, man, this is not going
(05:19):
to last. You got two egomaniacs, one Donald Trump, the president,
the other one the richest guy in the world. It
is not going to work out. So there was a
first hint of a problem when Trump, when Musk left Doge.
It has devolved into a full fight between the two.
(05:43):
It's almost fisticuffs. So we're going to talk more about it.
And yesterday it literally dissolved into this public fight. And
not only it's mainly on social media, but it's tremendous.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It is the best. It is public breakup in history.
It is fantastic. It is so magical. I saw some
fake posts two that were hilarious. One where Trump was
telling Elon that he wanted his records back, even his
Abba albums that he said he could keep. He wants
(06:21):
those back. But it is ugly. Elon posted a photo
of the promotional poster for the movie Kill Bill, referencing
the bill the Big Beautiful Bill killed the Bill.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
So he's saying that Epstein the files won't come out.
In the Epstein files won't come out because Trump's all over.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It, and there's no and by the way, there's no evidence,
and he could be named in the file. We're talking
about Musk accusing Trump of being named in the Epstein file.
The number of people who Epstein named in the files
are incredible because the guy was a socialite New York.
Everybody knew everybody well.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
And even said he knew Epstein, but he said yea,
the kind of ended their face.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I don't know, I don't die. And even if he
didn't think he was a creep big deal, who the
hell knew at that point. So anyway, we're gonna do
a lot of this at seven o'clock.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
See, I tell you guys on wake up call that
Bill would be digging into this one.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh yeah, yeah. It's a schoolyard. It's a school yard,
school yard fight. It's my dad is bigger than your dad,
and my schwantz is bigger than your schwants That's where
it's come to.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's so ugly. I you and I go out the
same way.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
No, it's not you, No, No, I disagree. It's not ugly.
It's like a sharpay is so ugly. It's beautiful, and
this is so ugly. It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yes, the big beautiful pizza sales are going through the roof.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You know's is that Trump didn't start this.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
When you think about it, No he didn't. You're right, yeah, No,
you're right. Trump held back, Actually he did, and then
it just got to be too much. He just kept
you must kept on. He kept on, prodding the bear,
prodding the bear. And you're absolutely right, Amy, and then
he finally broke down. I don't think. I don't know
(08:25):
if he if Trump has gotten personal yet with us
personal personal, I don't know if personal.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
He said he would win, he would have won without him, right.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That's not personal and that's not a personal attack. And
then he's going to cancel and he's going to cancel
some contracts. Yeah, yeah, but he doesn't.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Say he's like a low down dirty dog or anything.
He must kind of have.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeah, well, he called him something, uh, marginal Musk.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
He started with name called it's yeah, it's it's good.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I can't yeah, don't make up nollent. Yeah, absolutely all right.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Is this gonna split MAGA in half?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I mean, are they no now and dat are foul?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh No, Musk is going to lose this one big time.
There's no chance anybody could go against Trump with his supporters.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Must value on the stock market. Is stock tanked like
fourteen percent?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yes, yeah, I know, way way down. Okay, seven o'clock
to do a lot more than this. It's just too
good to be true.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Just let us be please.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
California and three other states have petitioned the US Food
and Drug Administration to ease restrictions on the abortion pill
mif of pristone. They say the drug's got a proven
safety record and says the limits that have been placed
on it are unnecessary. California Attorney General Rob Bonta says
the medication is a lifeline for millions of women who
(09:52):
need access to time sensitive, critical healthcare, especially low income
women and those who live in rural and underserved area.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Is. Yeah, they're Kennedy out doing himself. And you know
the hearings that are coming up in again about vaccines.
He's going to bring in an eight year old who's
not going to say anything and won't look anybody in
the eye prove positive as to what's going on. That's
another one who's nuts. RFK all right.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
The judge in the Shawn Ditty Comb's case delivered a
strong warning to Shawn Comb's and his lead council yesterday.
I guess what was happening is you had Sean didty
Comb's vigorously nodding to testimony. I'm guessing maybe shaking his
(10:41):
head no while directly eyeing the jury, which is forbidden,
right Bill, Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, you can. Absolutely, you cannot look at the jury.
You cannot in any way gesticulate. You cannot none of that.
You have to sit there, remain stoic. Well, occasionally people's
but there's not much they can do about that.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Isn't he accused of gesticulating someone that's not bad, that's
not bad. In this particular case, the judges said that
he's going to be removed if he does it even
once more.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There have been some great cases. Charles Manson was tossed
out first of all. I think the first time out,
what did the judge do? I think he put duct
tape on his mouth over his mouth as he sat there.
They shackled him because he was so outrageous, then threw
him out of the courtroom and had to watch the
trial in another room. So there are people that do that,
(11:37):
and you know it just that's really a way to
piss off the judge. But you know, it's this guy
is I'm guessing he is going to be convicted and
will spend the rest of his life in prison. That's
my guess.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
One can hope.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Will the duck talk Half Oversight Chair James Comer has
subpoened a former President Biden's White House physician. It's doctor
Kevin O'Connor. They initially invited O'Connor to come in for
to do it, to have a transcribed interview, but then
(12:15):
the doctor said, nah, he can't make it. They cited
legal and ethical obligations as well as physician patient privilege.
So the subpoena comes as President Trump orders an investigation
into some of the things that Biden did with his
auto pen and also cites his predecessor's cognitive decline.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, and that's the question I have because the doctor
patient privilege is a privilege that's pretty high up on
the food chain where doctors do not share information about patients.
This is the President United States, This is a guy
who runs a free world, is what we're talking about.
Does a doctor have the obligation? Yep? And is there
(13:02):
enough there? I mean, I agree that there should be
an investigation, is because if the doctor is part and
parcel of covering up cognitive inabilities that our president had.
That I don't know if that's criminal or not. I
have no idea. It may not be, because I don't
think we've ever had that issue come before the courts.
But man, I think there should be some consequences. You
(13:24):
can't do that. You can't cover up the fact that
the president has cognitive disabilities. Give me a break. So normally,
where this would be political in nature, which by the way,
I think it very well may be political in nature
because this is Republicans, and every time a Republican attacks
a Democrat, it's somewhere's politics, and when Democrats attack Republicans,
(13:50):
they're politics in there.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
But this is the other day bill that sometimes they're
not mutually exclusive, and they are not mutually exclusive.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That is correct, much like Donald Trump with his convictions, right,
was it purely political? No, it was political. But does
that mean he didn't do it? Does that mean that
he wasn't guilty of for example, that document case. So anyway,
I think everybody who was involved in hiding from the
(14:19):
American people the problems that Biden had should should be
held accountable for that. I don't know what that means
in terms of accountability.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But the autopin are they basically saying things were signed
without his cognity?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't know. No autopins are known. They're saying, yeah,
auto pins is how many documents does the president signed
in a given day?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I get why you have them.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I'm just saying that if somebody was having that done
when he didn't have the ability to do it, then
somebody wasn't. President is signing documents, which is scary.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
All of it is scary, all of it. Hiding this
from the public is crazy making. But then again morning, yeah,
thank you. J jfk was deathly ill had Addison's. Uh
his cognitive abilities were fine, but he has some very
very serious physical ailments. Yep. John F. Kennedy really, Oh yeah,
(15:19):
he was a very sick man, very sick.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
It's Addison's.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Uh it's a disease named after doctor Addison. Uh yeah,
I think it. Uh, you know what, I I don't
know exactly what addison is Addison's. I think it's a neurological,
uh disease. You're looking that up? Yes, yes, say I
should know that. I should know what Addison's is, and
I don't.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Chronic condition where the adrenal glands don't produce enough of
the hormones cortisol and.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Al dosterone.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yes, due to an autommune attack against the adrenal glands.
Without treatment, it can be life threatening.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
All right, So it's close enough. I'll take it. I'll
take it.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Okay, it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
An economic study commissioned by Disney says that Disneyland and
Disney World had an economic impact of nearly sixty seven
billion dollars nationwide that supported more than four hundred thousand
jobs across the United States. This was the Oxford Economics
Report and analyzed the impact of Disneyland Resort Anaheim in
(16:27):
twenty twenty three and then Walt Disney World resort in Orlando,
Florida in twenty twenty two to come up with these
overall numbers. But that puts here in Southern California. Put
sixteen point one billion dollars in Southern California's pocket that
directly and indirectly supported more than one hundred and two
thousand jobs.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, and I'm assuming by far the largest eplowyer in
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I would imagine.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Yeah, Russia is not letting up Russia launched a barrage
of drones and Blissa missiles across Ukraine early this morning
local time. At least four people were killed dozens of
others were injured. It happened days after Kiev launched that
raid on Moscow's fleet of strategic bombers and did a
(17:15):
lot of damage. Ukraine's president Zelensky said Russia had used
more than four hundred drones and forty missiles in the
overnight attack, making it among the largest since the war started.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
YEP. And after the conversation that President Trump had with Putin,
Putin basically said, I'm not stopping done. I'm just not stopping.
And so I think the President misread the not only
the intent, but misread the what Putin was going to
(17:48):
do and what Zalnzia was going to do. He thought
he would be able to end the war. Remember day one,
the war is over, not quite even to the point
he said, let him duke it out, because his influence
that seems to be really minimal in terms of that war.
I think, same thing with the Arab with the is
Hamas Israel war, same thing.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
They're complicated.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, speaking of complications, the Pentagon is planning to put
its military oversight of Greenland under US Northern Command. This is,
according to a report, largely symbolic gesture, but it's an
interesting time as President Donald J. Trump continues to press
for the world's largest island to break from Denmark.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, it keeps ongoing with that one, as if Denmark
is going to give up Greenland or Greenlanders are going
to give up being part of Denmark. We talked about
the symbolic, it's actually look at why right now under
the US European Command, right what does the European Command
oversee Europe? So Greenland is attached to Europe, and with
(18:54):
the President doing no, no, it's the Northern Command outside
of Europe that we're going to put the overseeing military
oversight of Greenland. So it's a move that effectively says, hey,
Denmark does not have anything to do with this, and
we're going to grab Greenland and either going to buy
(19:15):
it or they're going to vote to join US, who
the hell knows. But that's not going to happen either.
Now there will be a treaty for the rare earths.
But you know, I mean, Denmark is a strong ally
of the US anyway, all right, moving on blocked again.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
A federal judge is halted President Trump's latest attempt to
stop international students from going to Harvard University. The temporary
restraining order was issued hours after Harvard urged a district
judge to step in on an emergency basis to block
the proclamation that Trump signed the day before. It suspends
(19:55):
international visas for new students at the Ivy League university.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
So we'll see how far that goes. Lawsuits are coming. Hey, guys,
let's take an early break and we will come back
and I'll give a whole lot more time. Okay, Kono,
do you have to go to the bathroom? Well, I
got to throw up. Actually, my stomach and my I'm
not feeling well. All right, more handle on the news,
actually the Senate shit, No more handle on the news,
(20:22):
will be Let's start Amy. Nope, Neil your story.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Man, I know, listen, yeah, I know you're not well,
but I.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Am not feeling well. No, don't be concerned. I just go.
You know, thank God, there's a bathroom where I can
throw up ten minutes, ten feet from here.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I'm concerned about the show. I'm concerned about tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
We're gonna oh, I'll be fine for tomorrow. Are you kidding?
A free meal? I don't care if I'm throwing up
in my plate. You know, I don't say no to
a free meal.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I don't know that would be pleasant for the rest
of us.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Ask me if I care. It's like it's a lot
of regurgitation. It's like your favorite Oh, it's like your eagle. Okay,
how they feed their young.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
So Handel's talked about the earliest of reverse discrimin discrimination
cases before on the show, but now judges ruled nine
to zero in a case where Marlene Ames argued she
was denied a promotion because she is heterosexual.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
That cysts you. The US Supreme Court made it easier.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
On Thursday for people from majority backgrounds like whites or
straight individuals, to pursue claims alleging workplace reverse discrimination, So.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
This I guess.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
She argued that she was denied a promotion within the
Ohio Department of Youth Services because she's heterosexual. A lesbian
was hired for the job instead, and then Ames was
eventually demoted to a lower position with lower pay, with
a gay man taking her previous.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Role, and her boss was gay. That's what she was passed.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
This is pretty blatant. I mean, this story it really
has to do. It's a technical issue because to reverse discrimination,
normally you have to prove it that the employer has
a history of discriminating against the majority group racially. That's
already been proved, that's been established. There was a case
nineteen eighty two Baki versus the Regents of the University
(22:25):
of California, which a white guy was denied entrance to
medical school and an African American was put in place
and did not meet the same qualifications as the white
did per the school's requirement, per that you see. And
it went up and he won. Court said, yeah, yeah,
(22:46):
you can't do that. Race cannot be the determining factor.
And this one now is you're talking about if someone
is straight, cannot be discriminated on the basis of being straight.
So it's going both ways. Court says, discrimination is discrimination.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
No, she doesn't go both ways. That was the problem.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Yeah, okay, talk talk talk, talk talk. Apparently China and
the US are going to talk some more. So President
Trump and President She had a about an hour hour
and a half talk too. They're at an impasse, of
course with the trade tariffs, and the US is accusing
(23:29):
China not making good on the deal that they made
to lower tariffs and all of that. So President Trump
said the call was very positive and both sides have
agreed to hold more trade talks in hope of breaking
that impass.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, for sure. Let me tell you what's going on.
They're playing chicken with each other, Orange Chicken. This is
a real fight between these two. And I think she
is going to win on this one. You think, yeah,
I think a couple of reasons. Even though China is
going to be hurt more than the United States, probably China.
(24:06):
The people of China have a history of sucking it
up and going through some really bad times with the
leadership saying suck it up during Maos time during civil war.
They just do it. They're just a very stoic group people. Also,
you have a leadership a complete dictatorship there too, which helps.
So we'll see. And when the President says constructive talks, right,
(24:30):
it's or productive talks, it's that's political speech for we
went no place.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
This is an interesting story. The number of newborns in
Japan is just decreasing, but faster than projected. So the
number of annual births falling to another record low last year.
This is government data that they have. This is data
in this country is rapidly aging, shrinking population. So the
(25:01):
concern is about sustainability of the economy. Of course, national
security need young people to protect and.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, it's really simple. I mean, we're going through here
are the numbers. It's just math. The more young people,
the fewer young people that are born, the fewer people
that will work or will have a lifetime of work
to support the older people. Because people retire, and when
you have you don't sustain the retirees. You don't have
(25:37):
an economy, much like so security. So security started with
five I think it was five employee employees supporting every
single retired person, and then only for a very short
period of time. People didn't last much past sixty five.
And now I think you have two people supporting retirees
and they last forever. Who they hell dies at sixty
(26:00):
five or sixty seven, eighty more? Nobody and they were.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Was it the norm for people to uh to retire
at fifty five.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Sixty five, sixty But at one time was it the norm?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Because no, so you used to work until right before
you died.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, and sixty five, I mean a sociority kicked in
in thirty nineteen thirty five or nineteen thirty six under FDR.
And the point is it was a safety net obviously,
so people didn't starve to death, and it was but
sixty five was chosen because that's when people got old
and the retirement plan kicked in. Now it makes no
(26:35):
sense mathematically, which is why retirement today, I think is
sixty seven. And you're going to see benefits go down
because there are fewer workers that are paying into the
social security because there are fewer people. With Japan that's exacerbated.
That's one of the worst places in the world. It's
a mess.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Put that phone down.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
State Appeals Court has ruled that the state law prohibiting
drivers from texting or talking on the cell phone while
driving also makes it illegal to even hold the phone
to look at a map on the screen. So if
you're using your GPS, better have the phone on a
mount because just looking at the map on the screen
with the phone in hand can justify being pulled over
(27:21):
and being ticketed.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Now, didn't you think that only speaking on the phone
handheld would get you in trouble. But looking at a
map in your hand that you got to pass on that.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
No, my understanding is you can't have it in your
hand at all.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Yeah, you just can't have it in your hand. Period.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well, clearly that's what the law says, and the trick
is not to have it. Well, if you're going to
have it in your hand, well how do they know
they're speaking? What if you're hanging on to it. Now,
you're allowed to drive with one hand, that's not illegal.
So if you're going to speak into the phone, just
just be a ventriloquist and don't move your lips. You'll
(28:02):
do just fine. This is analysis, Okay, this is why
I'm here getting paid the big bucks for stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You put dass in analysas all right.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Paramount Global chairwoman, the controlling shareholder, Sherry Redstone, is battling cancer.
She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She is going, you know,
obviously going through that with her family. The prognosis is excellent.
But this comes, you know, like eleven months after she
agreed to sell Paramount to David Ellison's sky Dance Media
(28:40):
and so to be doing juggling that big massive sale
and being sick has got to be crazy difficult.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, and look at the politics here. Donald Trump sues
CBS over a sixty minute piece and says it was
it was an edited interview with Kamala Harris, and therefore
fraud was perpetrated on the American people and to make
him look bad and make him look and make her
look good. He sues for twenty billion dollars. That lawsuit
(29:13):
has no merit whatsoever. It is a ridiculous lawsuit. And
you know what paramount is doing. What she is doing
negotiating with the president to cave already CBS already she
has said, will cave. Why because she is selling the
company to Skydance. She has to have okay to it.
(29:35):
She has to have a governmental okay. The government can
stop it. And she wants the government to allow the sale.
And if Trump is mad, we are going to cowtow
to Trump. We will apologize and we will end. They're
negotiating how much money CBS is going to pay. And
since Trump doesn't need the money, it goes. I think
it's to the Presidential Library, Trump's Presidential library, but it is.
(29:59):
It's a troup that and by the way, all interviews
are edited, all of them.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
You can't edit it for you can't edit it that way.
I don't know why you keep saying that they're editing.
They're not talking about the fact that it was shortened
for time. They're talking about that it was crafted. Yeah,
but hang on a minute, Hold on a minute. They're
saying that substantially. That's not true.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
I wish it would go to trial because I know
how sixty minutes work. I don't think. I don't think
that they do edit to make her look better.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I don't buy that they did in this case, though. Bill.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
They took an interview, they aired part of the interview,
and then when it aired again, it was different. They
had changed it, and she sounded better and more articulate
than the first time.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
All right, well, let me ask you this. They still edited,
because you know, I have experience with sixty minutes. I
was interviewed by sixty minutes. I had a second on it.
I was in front of that camera for probably two hours,
and they gave me a couple of minutes. It's what
they do, edited one hundred percent, making me look a
whole lot better because the producer happened to like what
(31:13):
I was doing. In surrogacy. She had me pro surrogacy.
It was a pure edit to make me look good
because I was a blubbered and blabbered and I was
off on tangents much like I do here.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
But they didn't air the one where you were bluffing
and blathering. I understand it.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
But they made but to make her look better is
not fraud. Is not fraud on the American people. They
did it to make her look better asient. Bill, I
know you know what. I don't buy it. And by
the way, where is the damage? Okay, so he's silly
for twenty billion dollars? Now what he won? The he won?
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I saw your sixty minutes hit. They should have edited short.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
They should have edited me out. I understand. Okay, we're done. Guys.
