Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Can you plase focus?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
No, I'm telling you I I I'm talking about I'm
talking about Senor Wentz's before we go.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
To the news. It's not a question of not focused. No, No,
it just was. It's just something that I wanted to
share that is terrific. Nobody that's ours?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, I do and now handle on the news, Ladies
and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
All right, Thursday morning, July twenty four, as we're.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Getting close to August, and wow, August, it's my birthday
month in August, I'm gonna be one hundred and two.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I feel that way, and unlike most people, I mean,
you've got hold on a moment. Where's my icon?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Here?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Am I? Okay, I'll get there. How long have I've
been doing this show?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I don't know, thirty two years? We do that again?
There we go? Okay, yeah, the pro of all pros?
Where was I before I lost? I lost the thought?
Oh August my birthday Monday. There are and I will
not be taking my birthday off. I've never understood that
(01:28):
there are people that take weeks off, it's my birthday
entire month and here we go, or it's my birthday week.
We see a lot of that. Come on, guys, really okay,
I just thought i'd throw that out. First of all,
let me say hello, and then we got something really
fun I want to talk about, and we may change
the show a little bit because we do that. You know,
(01:50):
a lot of this show we do on the fly,
which is making so much fun. First, Hello, Cono, good morning,
Good morning William. And there is the lovely Ann good morning,
good morning Bill and Amy.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh, that was so sweet. Amy morning Bill, thank you,
that was reasonably sweet.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
That was sweet minus and will Cole Schreiber good morning,
good morning Bill. Oh that was sort of I would
say mid range and good morning Neil. I know, I'm
just I'll just get some some silence there, and that
was going to be a little shtick.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But thank you Will for ruining the Okay.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Now, yesterday we had a really fun, fun segment based
on some conversations we had if you didn't listen to
it yesterday, and it was what the a twenty hour
That a twenty segment that was manufactured, done, performed by
artificial intelligence. It's that simple I did not speak, and
(02:55):
the algorithm did my speaking for me, and we were
absolutely stunned how good it was. Matter of fact, the
best one of all of mine. Uh my part was,
I would say a little bit off. It was as
a little bit robotic. Amy's was a little bit less robotic.
(03:18):
The best one was Will. The AI absolutely did the
best job of impersonating Will.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
First one is going to be gone. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh yeah, absolutely, that's what Bill's been saying all along.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Oh yeah, that's what I've been saying.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Will's out first, then comes then Amy is gone, and
I'm gone. Paul Corvino, our division president, I texted me
and said, please send me a copy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Of the of that segment. And that is what this is.
Scary as hell. I already sent it. I know you did.
I'm looking to work with some new people.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Oh yeah, well no, no, no, your algorithm is going
to work with a new algorithm.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's what's going to happen. So here's what I want
to do.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Is share that bit of a I will doing the
traffic broadcast. Okay, without Will doing the traffic broadcast. CONO,
please pay it, play it. This is the computer.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Yes, we have quite the backup on the four oh
five South at sunset looks like a truckload of tomatoes overturned,
and we have a massive cleanup that needs to happen
pretty quickly. Right now, it looks like everyone is squeezing
over into the far left lane to pass. Bill Handle
is a stupid moron with an ugly face and a
big butt, and his butt smells and he likes to
kiss his own butt. With Southern California's most accurate traffic Reports.
(04:44):
I'm Will Cole Schreiber. Now a couple things about that.
I thought that was flawless. I couldn't tell the difference.
I really could not.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It was that good. Let me ask you, well.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Of course you're just laughing your ass off, Amy were
did you find that as stunningly right on as I did?
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yes, okay, thank you for the analysis.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And wow, well you just asked me a yes or
no question.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I know, I know it's yeah, but yeah you could
have yeah, you could have added to that yes it
was or wow.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I think that Will's was incredible and didn't sound robotic.
I think mine sounded pretty robotic, and I was very
surprised at how parts of yours were like right on
like with inflection and emotion and stuff. There were parts
of it that sound a little computery, but overall it's.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Pretty freaky and it has the ability to learn, and
over the course of doing it a few times, it's
going to learn to do it better and better. So
here's what we're gonna do today before we hit the news,
is that we don't have lars Guard today because Joel
lars Guard I think is taking six months off or
(06:04):
something for vacation. So what I'd like to do and
and it is, we're trying to put this together if possible.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
As I said, we do this show on the fly.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
A lot of the time is put together a Joel
lars Guard I would say, it's not a question and answer.
It would be just a segment of Joel talking about
some aspect of the economy, and do I we decide,
have we decided? Is there going to be Joel? Is
there enough out there for Joel to do it? Or
(06:33):
would I be doing it? What do you think, Anne?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think, well, you said you wanted to have a
U I know, but don throwing it up in the
air of your opinion. Now, what do you think? I
think it'd be great to have Joel do it. I
don't know we can pull it off.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Today, so I'm ay it may end up being doing
a segment on the economy in lieu of Joel's normal segment.
So it's I gotta tell you, we're playing with this
AI business.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
This is extraordinary stuff. You're really trying to drive it
home that we're not needed.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yes, pretty much. Oh listen, I have a contract that
Oh yeah. I even told Corbino when we talked about
me not being here anymore. I'll give him the address
where he can send a check to for the.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Next few years. I'm for you. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean I would love listening to my show without
with me sitting in some restaurant in Italy and looking
at my check that was sent by iHeart. Couldn't get better,
could it. I'm pushing very, very hard for that. All right,
let's do it, guys, it's time for handle on the news. Well,
Amy Neil is not here this week and me lead story.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Ryan Coberger.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yesterday, during the sentencing phase in the murder of those
four college students, I didn't have anything to say. The
family did. The impact statement took virtually the entire day,
and it was heartbreaking. And when asked, when he was asked,
you want to say anything, he spoke at exactly three
(08:11):
words and said, I respectfully decline. And the judge they
then came in and absolutely ripped him and talked about
how inhumane he is and how depraved he is, and
the judge got visibly emotional, and then the judge handed
him four life sentences without possibility at parole, running consecutively,
(08:33):
which is really rare. And that's one sentence following followed
by the next sentence followed by the next sentence, which
means he does life, then he dies, and then that
kicks into the next life sentence without possibility at parole.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And when he dies the second time, the third.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Part of that sentence kicks in, so he would have
to live four lifetimes. It's probably not going to happen,
is my guess.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Okay, preemptive payoff, So cal Edison says it's going to
offer a compensation to fire victims in Altadena for damages suffered,
even though they haven't yet admitted that their equipment ignited
the blaze on January seventh that destroyed thousands of homes.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
About ninety four hundred of them.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
It's called the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program. It would kick
in this fall and would be open to those who
lost their homes, their businesses, or rental product properties in
the wildfire.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, a couple things. And number one, we're going to
do this at seven am. And then are I'm going
to parse this a little bit so we have a
better understanding. This is real early days in terms of litigation.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
This is a.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Preemptive move and obviously there's a lot of controversy because
anything that would happen under these circumstances would be controversial.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
All right, love me, nicely done.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Thank you. See you can't get that from AI.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Lawmakers really want to talk to Jeffrey Epstein's right hand woman,
you know, Glaine Maxwell. House subcommittee has voted to subpoena
the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking
investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, and also subpoena Glaine Maxwell. Whether
she will talk to the committee is according to ABC,
(10:26):
Stephen Portnoy, who will be talked to you during wake
up call? Is her lawyer is saying, we'll see, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
And I was talking to Anne this morning before we
started the show. At what point does the president reduce
her sentence when she says nothing there now that file
had nothing to do with President Trump?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What do you think? Just asking?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Moving on, things continue to deteriorate in Gaza, and medical
staff in the Gaza strips say.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
They are increasingly hungry and.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
There's an a lack of available food and it's beginning
to leave them too weak to provide the medical care
to patients in the hospitals that are full of malnourished
and injured Palestinians.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, this is absolutely horrific. Starvation has kicked in. We
have that there are people in Gaza now dying because
of malnutrition, and those numbers are going to increase. And
the Israelis are saying, oh, we're letting in aid probably
five percent, four percent, two percent of what is necessary
(11:41):
and people are dying straight out. And what Israel is
doing is it's unconscionable, is what it is. And is
ray this was the country they came out of the
ashes of the Holocaust. You talk about people that were
I can't even use the word oppressed, and what Israel
is doing to the power Indians is I don't understand
(12:04):
how people can do that to someone else, especially people
that came out of the Holocaust.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I don't get how many people are how many people
can starve to death before somebody or Israel is so
pressured by the international community. It's almost like the pressure
that South Africa had during the apartheid years and finally
cave because of international pressure. Israel should be a rogue
(12:31):
parie estate because of what it's doing, and people are
eating just because of a that is the only ability
for the Palestinians to stay alive in Israel is not
letting humanitarian aid in.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Pete's problems continue with classified information. The Pentagons Inspector General
has says it has received evidence that military plans shared
from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signal account to a
group chat We're taken from a US Sentcom document that
was marked classified at the time. CNN says that's according
(13:09):
to two people familiar with the ongoing review. The Pentagon
Watchdog launched its review in April of hegss use of
the commercial messaging app to share that information related to
remember the US military operations in Yemen. The document was
marked secret slash no foreign meaning no foreign nationals.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Should see it.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Hegseth's claim that nothing was classified was shared in the signal.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
App Yeah, now I find that interesting. The document was
released and hegseets and the Pentagon says nothing was classified.
We're all over that document. It says classified and secret.
This is what's up is down, what's left is right,
what's white as black is coming out of the administration.
(13:57):
It's just okay. Outside of it's raining. The administration says,
the sun is out there, skies are blue, and you
walk out there getting drenched, and I'm not. It's not rainy.
It's I find this astounding. I find a lot of
what's going on astounding these days.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Church is offering a helping hand. The Archdiocese of Los
Angeles says it's launching a new program to help families
that are impacted by recent ice immigration raids. The Family
Assistance Program is going to provide meals, groceries, and prescription
deliveries to families through its parishes, and it's to families
(14:38):
who the advocates say are worried about leaving their homes
because of the ongoing raids around Los Angeles. Kickstarted by
developer Rick Caruso. He donated fifty thousand dollars to it.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, and a statement was made by the Archbishop Jose
Gomez just before he was arrested by ICE as a
purported illegal alien. So we're now going to be contacting
him some kind of detention center.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
He was not arrested. It'd be a great story, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It would be a great story.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yes, First, Colbert, could the View be next? So on
the View, the ladies did their normal thing where they
spend a lot of time against Trump, and joy Behar said,
the thing about him is he's so jealous of Obama
(15:29):
because Obama is everything he is not. He's trim, smart, handsome,
happily married, and can sing Al Green's song Let's Stay
Together better than Al Green. Obama did do a great
job with that song. Trump cannot stand it, says joy Behart.
It's driving him crazy. So in response to that, the
White House spokesman Taylor Rogers told Entertainment Weekly in an
(15:52):
email statement that joy Behart is in irrelevant loser suffering
from a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome, and claimed
that the show has the lowest ratings it's had in
recent years. And that Joy Beharsh should self reflect on
her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her
show is next to be pulled off the air.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
You have to admit, this is entertainment entertaining as hell.
All of these attacks and attacks back and statements. Now
it just so happens at the show who's doing fine
ratings wise, But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
The entertainment is Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
That's what that's according to the network.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's what they're saying.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
The view is up and it's having it's one of
its best season, most watched in four years, that's what
they're saying. You know, I don't keep up on ratings,
especially the view. I don't think I've ever seen the
view even once. But that's not the point. The point
is is the entertainment aspect of it. The attacks on
(16:58):
the president, the present attacking back.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I love this stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I mean, you have to admit you don't get this
in any other administration. I'm just talking about the capital
e for entertainment.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Yeah, it might be nice, you know, if we've focused
a little bit on the war in Gaza or maybe Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Well, I think the administration is focusing.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I mean, you can do a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Most administrations multitask, and certainly Trump multitasks. You can do
a lot of stuff simultaneously, and one of them is
entertaining the hell out of us.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Okay, Trump's getting two hundred mili. Columbia Universities agreed to
pay two hundred million dollars to President Trump's administration over
accusations that it failed to protect Jewish students on campus.
In exchange, the government has agreed to return some of
the four hundred million in federal grants that it froze
or terminated Back in March. Columbia was the first school
(17:55):
targeted by the administration for alleged failures to curb anti Semitism.
After last year's attacks in Israel by Hamas, there were
a bunch of protests and Columbia apparently was charged with
not protecting its Jewish students.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, a couple of things about this.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
First of all, the history of universities in this country
is anti Israel and pro Palestinian. That's a given, that's
just simply part of it. For years and years and
years because of the left wing attitudes of the university,
the professors as well as the students. Also, you have
(18:35):
Trump being as pro Israel as any president, and.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He just didn't take it.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
And this is one of those things where he has
the power and no other president has done this. And
I think they have the power to simply say to
the universities, Okay, here's the bottom line. We issue I
issue tons of federal money that I can stop unless
you comply with certain policies. This case, he's talking about
Title six, which is discrimination on its face, and the
(19:06):
university purporting to in fact back up discrimination with not
protecting Jewish students, and Columbia Cave Harvard is negotiations right now,
and you're gonna see this is President Trump extending, extending
presidential powers to the very limit of what he can.
(19:26):
With this Supreme Court probably backing him up. Trump has
gotten a win virtually every time on issues like this.
So Columbia caves, Harvard's going to cave. You've got other
universities are going to cave. Israel is thrilled with this.
Jewish students are thrilled. But I remember going to school
and it was, you know, pro Palestinians. That was just
(19:46):
that simple, you know, And everybody hates the Jews. There's
even a song everybody hates the Jews. Is there a
song everybody hates the Palestinians out there?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I don't think so. Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Apparently change isn't coming. The EPA is put together a
proposal that would undo the governments in Endangerment Finding. That's
a determination that pollutants from burning fuels like carbon dioxide
and methane can be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
The finding has long served as a foundation for a
bunch of policies and rules to address climate change. Already,
(20:23):
environmentalists and climate activists and others are bracing for what
they say could be a fundamental shift away from trying
to address the problem of a hotter client because of
this EPA designation.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, look good under the federal government, and look under
climate change, it's all disappeared. The whole concept of climate
change just is gone as far as the federal government
is concerned.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Have you been.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Watching the news the last few days, the national news,
even the local news, with these unbelievable storms that are
happening up and down the Eastern Seaboard and in America,
and now heat waves that they've never seen before.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
So if you do watch.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
The news and I don't know if you've paid attention,
a story will be of this massive flood happening in
a given area of the United States, with the reporter
ending the story with and.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
This is not happening every time.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Nope, we're just sharing this with you. But none of
this is true.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
No men allowed in these ubers.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Uber has announced a new feature called Women's Preferences. It's
designed to allow women riders to have women only drivers
so they feel more safe. It's for the first time
in the US that they'll be doing this. Uber says
it'll give women riders and drivers more choice, more confidence,
and more flexibility. The pilot program is rolling out first
(21:57):
in San Francisco, and then in a few weeks it
should be expanding to Los Angeles. It's been used in
forty countries, but not here in the US yet.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah. I wonder if there's gonna be a lawsuit on
this one for discrimination. Is some crazy ass going to
file a lawsuit? I think so. And of course it
makes all the sense in the world in terms of safety,
because there are just too many horrors of Uber drivers
acting acting out, even to the point of rape. Not
(22:29):
that many, but enough where women are uncomfortable. I ever,
I have met women that are uncomfortable with Uber drivers,
the women in the audience here.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
And do you ever take Uber? No, she doesn't. Amy
Have you ever take an Uber?
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And I haven't ever been concerned about it.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
But I don't do it in the middle of the
night either, like after a night out drinking.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Do you find a conversation with the driver who only
speaks far Sea uncomfortable?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I find it's very short, okay, or.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Sometimes as Pakistani, you know, depends on the language.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
The grandson of former President John F.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Kennedy, has ripped a plan introduced by House Republicans that
would rename the Kennedy Centers opera house in honor of
Milania Trump. Jack Schlassenberg says JFK believed the arts made
our country great and could be our most effective weapon
in the fight for civil rights and against authoritarian governments
around the world. He went on to say that the
(23:29):
Trump administration stands for freedom of oppression, not expression. Representative
Mike Simpson of Ohio, obviously a Republican, called the move
an excellent way to recognize Malania Trump's support and commitment
to promoting the arts.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Now here's a good news that if you ever go
to Costco, you will not see the Milania Trump collection
at Costco. That you will never see. I mean, come on,
the Milana I why not?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Because why not? What else? There's nothing more to say.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Flu vaccines getting a makeover. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy
Junior has signed a controversial recommendation from a vaccine panel
that advised removing the marisol from influenza vaccines. So ther
marasol is a preservative, It's largely been phased out of
US vaccines and has been targeted by anti vax people
(24:33):
after more than two decades of delay. This action, according
to Kennedy, fulfills a long overdue promise to protect our
most vulnerable populations from unnecessary mercury exposure.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, that's right, mercury.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Thermerisol does have mercury in it in it, However, it's
not mercury that can, from what I understand, cannot be
used metabolized in the body. And they're talking about percent
of the vaccines now that have that in there.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And other than the crack pots out there.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
All the peer reviewed all the medical scientists, the doctors
who have looked at this who have studied this say
there is no issue. This is not at all dangerous
to anybody getting a vaccine. But doesn't matter if you're
an anti vax person. You're an anti vax person, and
the good I guess it's good news that it's only
an advisory panel that then tells the CDC. It advises
(25:34):
the CDC for recommendations. There is no enforcement issue until
vaccines are illegal. Where are you going to go with
this one?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
All this here's the thought.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Okay, if it's got this the marisol in it, yes,
it is a preservative and does have mercury in it. Yes,
So if you look it out to assuage anti vaxxers,
maybe that would encourage them to get vaccinated and then
we would have a measles outbreak like we were having.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Well, first of all, a measles outbreak is only happening
because they're not being vaccinated.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
I know, but I'm just saying if some anti vaccins, maybe.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
No.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You make a very good point here, But here is
the retort to that.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
The thermerisol does not go into the body at all.
This is what science has said. There is no connection
between autism or whatever. It just doesn't happen. It's only
used under very specific circumstances. The problem is the science
isn't there for the anti vaxxers. That is the problem.
(26:48):
And they're not saying it's a small chance. There's no chance.
That is what medical science is saying. That's it's probably
not going to change any minds, hopefully not. No.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
I mean I'm saying it wouldn't change the minds of
the anti vaccine.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh no, nothing changes the mind of the anti vaxxers.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I mean, nothing changes the mind. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
If you go among Republicans, you know that three quarters
Republicans think that the election in twenty twenty was stolen.
I mean that part I don't get. So the point
to your point is nothing changes the mind. Everything is
baked in now, everything is baked in to everyone's position
(27:30):
and belief. You can't talk anybody out of anything.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Macroll is mad.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
French President Manuel Macrone and his wife have filed a
defamation lawsuit against podcast host Candice Owen, she's a far
right podcaster, in response to claims that she peddled that
France's first lady was born a man. It's a twenty
two count complaint asking for an unspecified amount of damages.
(27:59):
Owens did an eight part series saying that the Macrones
that Bridget Macron was born a man, stole another person's
identity and transition to a woman, right.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
And Macrone is suing and this delightful woman Candae is saying,
this is a foreign government attacking First Amendment rights of
an American independent journalist. The problem is, it's not a
foreign government. It's an individual who has been accused of
being trans having once been a man and is now
(28:33):
a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
By the way, that's completely untrue.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Now he used to be a woman and is now
a man, but that's not being told by anybody.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I think we're done.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Okay, what do you don't want this one more?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Okay, Disney and the Olympics coming together, this is a
great idea.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I think.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Former twenty first century Fox and Whialt Disney Company executive
Peter Rice has been named ahead of sarahremonies and content
for the Summer Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
So he's going to be in charge of physical production
and creative oversight for the opening and closing ceremonies for
both games that will be held in the Coliseum and
(29:15):
Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Choosing someone associated with Disney is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Who does ceremonies better than Disney?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Nobody, Nobody.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
China's China's opening ceremonies were pretty spectacular.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah they were, But I still think this is going
to outdo it. I really do because the Disney connection. Okay,
this is KFI AM six forty. 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 kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Can you plase focus?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
No, I'm telling you I I I'm talking about I'm
talking about Senor Wentz's before we go.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
To the news. It's not a question of not focused. No, No,
it just was. It's just something that I wanted to
share that is terrific. Nobody that's ours?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, I do and now handle on the news, Ladies
and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
All right, Thursday morning, July twenty four, as we're.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Getting close to August, and wow, August, it's my birthday
month in August, I'm gonna be one hundred and two.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I feel that way, and unlike most people, I mean,
you've got hold on a moment. Where's my icon?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Here?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Am I? Okay, I'll get there. How long have I've
been doing this show?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I don't know, thirty two years? We do that again?
There we go? Okay, yeah, the pro of all pros?
Where was I before I lost? I lost the thought?
Oh August my birthday Monday. There are and I will
not be taking my birthday off. I've never understood that
(01:28):
there are people that take weeks off, it's my birthday
entire month and here we go, or it's my birthday week.
We see a lot of that. Come on, guys, really okay,
I just thought i'd throw that out. First of all,
let me say hello, and then we got something really
fun I want to talk about, and we may change
the show a little bit because we do that. You know,
(01:50):
a lot of this show we do on the fly,
which is making so much fun. First, Hello, Cono, good morning,
Good morning William. And there is the lovely Ann good morning,
good morning Bill and Amy.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh, that was so sweet. Amy morning Bill, thank you,
that was reasonably sweet.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
That was sweet minus and will Cole Schreiber good morning,
good morning Bill. Oh that was sort of I would
say mid range and good morning Neil. I know, I'm
just I'll just get some some silence there, and that
was going to be a little shtick.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But thank you Will for ruining the Okay.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Now, yesterday we had a really fun, fun segment based
on some conversations we had if you didn't listen to
it yesterday, and it was what the a twenty hour
That a twenty segment that was manufactured, done, performed by
artificial intelligence. It's that simple I did not speak, and
(02:55):
the algorithm did my speaking for me, and we were
absolutely stunned how good it was. Matter of fact, the
best one of all of mine. Uh my part was,
I would say a little bit off. It was as
a little bit robotic. Amy's was a little bit less robotic.
(03:18):
The best one was Will. The AI absolutely did the
best job of impersonating Will.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
First one is going to be gone. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh yeah, absolutely, that's what Bill's been saying all along.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Oh yeah, that's what I've been saying.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Will's out first, then comes then Amy is gone, and
I'm gone. Paul Corvino, our division president, I texted me
and said, please send me a copy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Of the of that segment. And that is what this is.
Scary as hell. I already sent it. I know you did.
I'm looking to work with some new people.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Oh yeah, well no, no, no, your algorithm is going
to work with a new algorithm.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's what's going to happen. So here's what I want
to do.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Is share that bit of a I will doing the
traffic broadcast. Okay, without Will doing the traffic broadcast. CONO,
please pay it, play it. This is the computer.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Yes, we have quite the backup on the four oh
five South at sunset looks like a truckload of tomatoes overturned,
and we have a massive cleanup that needs to happen
pretty quickly. Right now, it looks like everyone is squeezing
over into the far left lane to pass. Bill Handle
is a stupid moron with an ugly face and a
big butt, and his butt smells and he likes to
kiss his own butt. With Southern California's most accurate traffic Reports.
(04:44):
I'm Will Cole Schreiber. Now a couple things about that.
I thought that was flawless. I couldn't tell the difference.
I really could not.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It was that good. Let me ask you, well.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Of course you're just laughing your ass off, Amy were
did you find that as stunningly right on as I did?
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yes, okay, thank you for the analysis.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And wow, well you just asked me a yes or
no question.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I know, I know it's yeah, but yeah you could
have yeah, you could have added to that yes it
was or wow.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I think that Will's was incredible and didn't sound robotic.
I think mine sounded pretty robotic, and I was very
surprised at how parts of yours were like right on
like with inflection and emotion and stuff. There were parts
of it that sound a little computery, but overall it's.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Pretty freaky and it has the ability to learn, and
over the course of doing it a few times, it's
going to learn to do it better and better. So
here's what we're gonna do today before we hit the news,
is that we don't have lars Guard today because Joel
lars Guard I think is taking six months off or
(06:04):
something for vacation. So what I'd like to do and
and it is, we're trying to put this together if possible.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
As I said, we do this show on the fly.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
A lot of the time is put together a Joel
lars Guard I would say, it's not a question and answer.
It would be just a segment of Joel talking about
some aspect of the economy, and do I we decide,
have we decided? Is there going to be Joel? Is
there enough out there for Joel to do it? Or
(06:33):
would I be doing it? What do you think, Anne?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think, well, you said you wanted to have a
U I know, but don throwing it up in the
air of your opinion. Now, what do you think? I
think it'd be great to have Joel do it. I
don't know we can pull it off.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Today, so I'm ay it may end up being doing
a segment on the economy in lieu of Joel's normal segment.
So it's I gotta tell you, we're playing with this
AI business.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
This is extraordinary stuff. You're really trying to drive it
home that we're not needed.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yes, pretty much. Oh listen, I have a contract that
Oh yeah. I even told Corbino when we talked about
me not being here anymore. I'll give him the address
where he can send a check to for the.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Next few years. I'm for you. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean I would love listening to my show without
with me sitting in some restaurant in Italy and looking
at my check that was sent by iHeart. Couldn't get better,
could it. I'm pushing very, very hard for that. All right,
let's do it, guys, it's time for handle on the news. Well,
Amy Neil is not here this week and me lead story.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Ryan Coberger.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yesterday, during the sentencing phase in the murder of those
four college students, I didn't have anything to say. The
family did. The impact statement took virtually the entire day,
and it was heartbreaking. And when asked, when he was asked,
you want to say anything, he spoke at exactly three
(08:11):
words and said, I respectfully decline. And the judge they
then came in and absolutely ripped him and talked about
how inhumane he is and how depraved he is, and
the judge got visibly emotional, and then the judge handed
him four life sentences without possibility at parole, running consecutively,
(08:33):
which is really rare. And that's one sentence following followed
by the next sentence followed by the next sentence, which
means he does life, then he dies, and then that
kicks into the next life sentence without possibility at parole.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And when he dies the second time, the third.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Part of that sentence kicks in, so he would have
to live four lifetimes. It's probably not going to happen,
is my guess.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Okay, preemptive payoff, So cal Edison says it's going to
offer a compensation to fire victims in Altadena for damages suffered,
even though they haven't yet admitted that their equipment ignited
the blaze on January seventh that destroyed thousands of homes.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
About ninety four hundred of them.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
It's called the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program. It would kick
in this fall and would be open to those who
lost their homes, their businesses, or rental product properties in
the wildfire.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, a couple things. And number one, we're going to
do this at seven am. And then are I'm going
to parse this a little bit so we have a
better understanding. This is real early days in terms of litigation.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
This is a.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Preemptive move and obviously there's a lot of controversy because
anything that would happen under these circumstances would be controversial.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
All right, love me, nicely done.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Thank you. See you can't get that from AI.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Lawmakers really want to talk to Jeffrey Epstein's right hand woman,
you know, Glaine Maxwell. House subcommittee has voted to subpoena
the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking
investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, and also subpoena Glaine Maxwell. Whether
she will talk to the committee is according to ABC,
(10:26):
Stephen Portnoy, who will be talked to you during wake
up call? Is her lawyer is saying, we'll see, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
And I was talking to Anne this morning before we
started the show. At what point does the president reduce
her sentence when she says nothing there now that file
had nothing to do with President Trump?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What do you think? Just asking?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Moving on, things continue to deteriorate in Gaza, and medical
staff in the Gaza strips say.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
They are increasingly hungry and.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
There's an a lack of available food and it's beginning
to leave them too weak to provide the medical care
to patients in the hospitals that are full of malnourished
and injured Palestinians.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, this is absolutely horrific. Starvation has kicked in. We
have that there are people in Gaza now dying because
of malnutrition, and those numbers are going to increase. And
the Israelis are saying, oh, we're letting in aid probably
five percent, four percent, two percent of what is necessary
(11:41):
and people are dying straight out. And what Israel is
doing is it's unconscionable, is what it is. And is
ray this was the country they came out of the
ashes of the Holocaust. You talk about people that were
I can't even use the word oppressed, and what Israel
is doing to the power Indians is I don't understand
(12:04):
how people can do that to someone else, especially people
that came out of the Holocaust.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I don't get how many people are how many people
can starve to death before somebody or Israel is so
pressured by the international community. It's almost like the pressure
that South Africa had during the apartheid years and finally
cave because of international pressure. Israel should be a rogue
(12:31):
parie estate because of what it's doing, and people are
eating just because of a that is the only ability
for the Palestinians to stay alive in Israel is not
letting humanitarian aid in.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Pete's problems continue with classified information. The Pentagons Inspector General
has says it has received evidence that military plans shared
from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signal account to a
group chat We're taken from a US Sentcom document that
was marked classified at the time. CNN says that's according
(13:09):
to two people familiar with the ongoing review. The Pentagon
Watchdog launched its review in April of hegss use of
the commercial messaging app to share that information related to
remember the US military operations in Yemen. The document was
marked secret slash no foreign meaning no foreign nationals.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Should see it.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Hegseth's claim that nothing was classified was shared in the signal.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
App Yeah, now I find that interesting. The document was
released and hegseets and the Pentagon says nothing was classified.
We're all over that document. It says classified and secret.
This is what's up is down, what's left is right,
what's white as black is coming out of the administration.
(13:57):
It's just okay. Outside of it's raining. The administration says,
the sun is out there, skies are blue, and you
walk out there getting drenched, and I'm not. It's not rainy.
It's I find this astounding. I find a lot of
what's going on astounding these days.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Church is offering a helping hand. The Archdiocese of Los
Angeles says it's launching a new program to help families
that are impacted by recent ice immigration raids. The Family
Assistance Program is going to provide meals, groceries, and prescription
deliveries to families through its parishes, and it's to families
(14:38):
who the advocates say are worried about leaving their homes
because of the ongoing raids around Los Angeles. Kickstarted by
developer Rick Caruso. He donated fifty thousand dollars to it.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, and a statement was made by the Archbishop Jose
Gomez just before he was arrested by ICE as a
purported illegal alien. So we're now going to be contacting
him some kind of detention center.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
He was not arrested. It'd be a great story, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It would be a great story.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yes, First, Colbert, could the View be next? So on
the View, the ladies did their normal thing where they
spend a lot of time against Trump, and joy Behar said,
the thing about him is he's so jealous of Obama
(15:29):
because Obama is everything he is not. He's trim, smart, handsome,
happily married, and can sing Al Green's song Let's Stay
Together better than Al Green. Obama did do a great
job with that song. Trump cannot stand it, says joy Behart.
It's driving him crazy. So in response to that, the
White House spokesman Taylor Rogers told Entertainment Weekly in an
(15:52):
email statement that joy Behart is in irrelevant loser suffering
from a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome, and claimed
that the show has the lowest ratings it's had in
recent years. And that Joy Beharsh should self reflect on
her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her
show is next to be pulled off the air.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
You have to admit, this is entertainment entertaining as hell.
All of these attacks and attacks back and statements. Now
it just so happens at the show who's doing fine
ratings wise, But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
The entertainment is Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
That's what that's according to the network.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's what they're saying.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
The view is up and it's having it's one of
its best season, most watched in four years, that's what
they're saying. You know, I don't keep up on ratings,
especially the view. I don't think I've ever seen the
view even once. But that's not the point. The point
is is the entertainment aspect of it. The attacks on
(16:58):
the president, the present attacking back.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I love this stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I mean, you have to admit you don't get this
in any other administration. I'm just talking about the capital
e for entertainment.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Yeah, it might be nice, you know, if we've focused
a little bit on the war in Gaza or maybe Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Well, I think the administration is focusing.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I mean, you can do a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Most administrations multitask, and certainly Trump multitasks. You can do
a lot of stuff simultaneously, and one of them is
entertaining the hell out of us.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Okay, Trump's getting two hundred mili. Columbia Universities agreed to
pay two hundred million dollars to President Trump's administration over
accusations that it failed to protect Jewish students on campus.
In exchange, the government has agreed to return some of
the four hundred million in federal grants that it froze
or terminated Back in March. Columbia was the first school
(17:55):
targeted by the administration for alleged failures to curb anti Semitism.
After last year's attacks in Israel by Hamas, there were
a bunch of protests and Columbia apparently was charged with
not protecting its Jewish students.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, a couple of things about this.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
First of all, the history of universities in this country
is anti Israel and pro Palestinian. That's a given, that's
just simply part of it. For years and years and
years because of the left wing attitudes of the university,
the professors as well as the students. Also, you have
(18:35):
Trump being as pro Israel as any president, and.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He just didn't take it.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
And this is one of those things where he has
the power and no other president has done this. And
I think they have the power to simply say to
the universities, Okay, here's the bottom line. We issue I
issue tons of federal money that I can stop unless
you comply with certain policies. This case, he's talking about
Title six, which is discrimination on its face, and the
(19:06):
university purporting to in fact back up discrimination with not
protecting Jewish students, and Columbia Cave Harvard is negotiations right now,
and you're gonna see this is President Trump extending, extending
presidential powers to the very limit of what he can.
(19:26):
With this Supreme Court probably backing him up. Trump has
gotten a win virtually every time on issues like this.
So Columbia caves, Harvard's going to cave. You've got other
universities are going to cave. Israel is thrilled with this.
Jewish students are thrilled. But I remember going to school
and it was, you know, pro Palestinians. That was just
(19:46):
that simple, you know, And everybody hates the Jews. There's
even a song everybody hates the Jews. Is there a
song everybody hates the Palestinians out there?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I don't think so. Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Apparently change isn't coming. The EPA is put together a
proposal that would undo the governments in Endangerment Finding. That's
a determination that pollutants from burning fuels like carbon dioxide
and methane can be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
The finding has long served as a foundation for a
bunch of policies and rules to address climate change. Already,
(20:23):
environmentalists and climate activists and others are bracing for what
they say could be a fundamental shift away from trying
to address the problem of a hotter client because of
this EPA designation.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, look good under the federal government, and look under
climate change, it's all disappeared. The whole concept of climate
change just is gone as far as the federal government
is concerned.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Have you been.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Watching the news the last few days, the national news,
even the local news, with these unbelievable storms that are
happening up and down the Eastern Seaboard and in America,
and now heat waves that they've never seen before.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
So if you do watch.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
The news and I don't know if you've paid attention,
a story will be of this massive flood happening in
a given area of the United States, with the reporter
ending the story with and.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
This is not happening every time.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Nope, we're just sharing this with you. But none of
this is true.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
No men allowed in these ubers.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Uber has announced a new feature called Women's Preferences. It's
designed to allow women riders to have women only drivers
so they feel more safe. It's for the first time
in the US that they'll be doing this. Uber says
it'll give women riders and drivers more choice, more confidence,
and more flexibility. The pilot program is rolling out first
(21:57):
in San Francisco, and then in a few weeks it
should be expanding to Los Angeles. It's been used in
forty countries, but not here in the US yet.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah. I wonder if there's gonna be a lawsuit on
this one for discrimination. Is some crazy ass going to
file a lawsuit? I think so. And of course it
makes all the sense in the world in terms of safety,
because there are just too many horrors of Uber drivers
acting acting out, even to the point of rape. Not
(22:29):
that many, but enough where women are uncomfortable. I ever,
I have met women that are uncomfortable with Uber drivers,
the women in the audience here.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
And do you ever take Uber? No, she doesn't. Amy
Have you ever take an Uber?
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And I haven't ever been concerned about it.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
But I don't do it in the middle of the
night either, like after a night out drinking.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Do you find a conversation with the driver who only
speaks far Sea uncomfortable?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I find it's very short, okay, or.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Sometimes as Pakistani, you know, depends on the language.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
The grandson of former President John F.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Kennedy, has ripped a plan introduced by House Republicans that
would rename the Kennedy Centers opera house in honor of
Milania Trump. Jack Schlassenberg says JFK believed the arts made
our country great and could be our most effective weapon
in the fight for civil rights and against authoritarian governments
around the world. He went on to say that the
(23:29):
Trump administration stands for freedom of oppression, not expression. Representative
Mike Simpson of Ohio, obviously a Republican, called the move
an excellent way to recognize Malania Trump's support and commitment
to promoting the arts.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Now here's a good news that if you ever go
to Costco, you will not see the Milania Trump collection
at Costco. That you will never see. I mean, come on,
the Milana I why not?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Because why not? What else? There's nothing more to say.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Flu vaccines getting a makeover. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy
Junior has signed a controversial recommendation from a vaccine panel
that advised removing the marisol from influenza vaccines. So ther
marasol is a preservative, It's largely been phased out of
US vaccines and has been targeted by anti vax people
(24:33):
after more than two decades of delay. This action, according
to Kennedy, fulfills a long overdue promise to protect our
most vulnerable populations from unnecessary mercury exposure.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, that's right, mercury.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Thermerisol does have mercury in it in it, However, it's
not mercury that can, from what I understand, cannot be
used metabolized in the body. And they're talking about percent
of the vaccines now that have that in there.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And other than the crack pots out there.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
All the peer reviewed all the medical scientists, the doctors
who have looked at this who have studied this say
there is no issue. This is not at all dangerous
to anybody getting a vaccine. But doesn't matter if you're
an anti vax person. You're an anti vax person, and
the good I guess it's good news that it's only
an advisory panel that then tells the CDC. It advises
(25:34):
the CDC for recommendations. There is no enforcement issue until
vaccines are illegal. Where are you going to go with
this one?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
All this here's the thought.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Okay, if it's got this the marisol in it, yes,
it is a preservative and does have mercury in it. Yes,
So if you look it out to assuage anti vaxxers,
maybe that would encourage them to get vaccinated and then
we would have a measles outbreak like we were having.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Well, first of all, a measles outbreak is only happening
because they're not being vaccinated.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
I know, but I'm just saying if some anti vaccins, maybe.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
No.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You make a very good point here, But here is
the retort to that.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
The thermerisol does not go into the body at all.
This is what science has said. There is no connection
between autism or whatever. It just doesn't happen. It's only
used under very specific circumstances. The problem is the science
isn't there for the anti vaxxers. That is the problem.
(26:48):
And they're not saying it's a small chance. There's no chance.
That is what medical science is saying. That's it's probably
not going to change any minds, hopefully not. No.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
I mean I'm saying it wouldn't change the minds of
the anti vaccine.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh no, nothing changes the mind of the anti vaxxers.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I mean, nothing changes the mind. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
If you go among Republicans, you know that three quarters
Republicans think that the election in twenty twenty was stolen.
I mean that part I don't get. So the point
to your point is nothing changes the mind. Everything is
baked in now, everything is baked in to everyone's position
(27:30):
and belief. You can't talk anybody out of anything.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Macroll is mad.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
French President Manuel Macrone and his wife have filed a
defamation lawsuit against podcast host Candice Owen, she's a far
right podcaster, in response to claims that she peddled that
France's first lady was born a man. It's a twenty
two count complaint asking for an unspecified amount of damages.
(27:59):
Owens did an eight part series saying that the Macrones
that Bridget Macron was born a man, stole another person's
identity and transition to a woman, right.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
And Macrone is suing and this delightful woman Candae is saying,
this is a foreign government attacking First Amendment rights of
an American independent journalist. The problem is, it's not a
foreign government. It's an individual who has been accused of
being trans having once been a man and is now
(28:33):
a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
By the way, that's completely untrue.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Now he used to be a woman and is now
a man, but that's not being told by anybody.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I think we're done.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Okay, what do you don't want this one more?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Okay, Disney and the Olympics coming together, this is a
great idea.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I think.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Former twenty first century Fox and Whialt Disney Company executive
Peter Rice has been named ahead of sarahremonies and content
for the Summer Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
So he's going to be in charge of physical production
and creative oversight for the opening and closing ceremonies for
both games that will be held in the Coliseum and
(29:15):
Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Choosing someone associated with Disney is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Who does ceremonies better than Disney?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Nobody, Nobody.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
China's China's opening ceremonies were pretty spectacular.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah they were, But I still think this is going
to outdo it. I really do because the Disney connection. Okay,
