Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listenings KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio f.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And did Good.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Morning everybody a Monday morning, July twenty eighth. This is
the week we leave July and go into August.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Just in case you didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Damn, I am so good as I do all this
very heavy analysis.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, we have a modified team this morning. Neil
comes back tomorrow, so he's back with the team. Sam
is with us this morning because KNO is doing whatever
the hell Kno is doing this morning and is here,
and Will Cole Schreiber is here with us as he
(00:46):
normally is every morning. And that's about it, all right.
So I want to tell you a story of what
happened over the weekend. On Saturday night, there was an
event at the Lincoln Club.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
The Lincoln Club in Orange.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is a very conservative organization that supports Republican candidates and
it's very influential, and my goddaughter helps run it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
She's one of the execs.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So I was invited and I brought Steve Gregory as
my plus one.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Steve, as you know who is well.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It was I think one of the premier reporters here
on KFI. As a matter of fact, I think he's
the best reporter in what he does in the country.
And he has gone over to another radio station and
the name of that radio station is So it's easy
for me to invite Steve because Steve is actually a
(01:47):
very dear friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So because it was such a conservative group.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
As we were going around introducing ourselves, I introduced Steve
as my husband.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
All night long, I had to do that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And so as we sat down, I sat next to
Todd Spitzer.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Todd who is the DA of.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Orange County and I have been and Todd's been a
friend of mine for thirty five years.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
He was a state.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Senator, a Settleman Orange County supervisor, and he is now
the District Attorney of Orange County. And thirty five years
ago or thirty two years ago, he was a screener,
thus screener on handle on the law. That's how far
back we go. And the keynote speaker was Nicole Shanahan,
(02:38):
who was rfk's running mate vice presidential running mate for
Robert Kennedy before he dropped out of the race and
endorsed Donald Trump. And he is of course now Health
and Human Services secretary, and as she got up to speak,
(02:59):
I mentioned that it looks like she has the measles.
The table was not amused. I just wanted to let
you know it was great time had by all. First
of all, very nice people, really nice people, and a
couple of them listened to this show, which I don't
(03:19):
understand why and came up and said hello.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But it was quite an event.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I thought it was going to be rabid political, because
I've been to democratic events where it's rabid political, where
literally they foam at the mouth. It looks like they've
just brushed their teeth and have not rinsed yet. Not
at all, not at all. I mean they ripped into
the Democratic Party. You would expect that as Democrats rip
(03:46):
into the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So it was very political in that sense.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But I have to tell you I was expecting a
lot more rabidity. Is that the word I'm looking for?
In any case, great fun, great fun. And just for
the record, Steve Gregory is not my husband, although very
I'm sure that there are quite a few people there
(04:11):
who think that he is. And I had my diet
coke and it was an open bar. Very elegant, great
food too. Okay, that's and there are more awards being
given out on Saturday night where I think I was
the only person that didn't get an award in that
room and there were over five hundred and fifty people
(04:33):
in the room.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
All right, so much for that.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Amy, good morning, Good morning, Bill, and Will.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Good morning to you. Good morning Bill.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I never asked you, is it legally William? Yes? From
there we go.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Not a Willy, will not a wil not Wilbur, not
a Willie, not a Billy.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There are a lot of kids when I was growing
up with a lot of other Bills, and I liked,
it's cool to be a will.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, actually I was Willy when I was really young.
But will Yeah, okay, yeah, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Uh. Well, my middle name is Wolf because that was
my name, legal name.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I wish I kept it. I wish I kept it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But in kindergarten, first grade, you know, it's a little
rough being a wolf.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So I actually chose my own name William. Oh you
out of the blue.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I don't even remember why I picked it, but I'm
the one that picked it. When we became naturalized. Uh,
and your name becomes legal at that point, and that
is what your name is in the United States, or
a name for some reason, I chose William, and then
I moved Wolf into my middle name, which is why
I am William Wolf Handle.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's why Neil says that when he says, that's why.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, Okay, there you go, and Sam, good morning,
good morning, Bill, there you go, and and the one
and only Hello, good morning Bill.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
There we go. Everybody's happy on a Monday, why not?
Huh you? Yeah, Okay, let's do it, guys.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It is time for Handle on the news on this
Monday morning with Amy and Me O'Neil until tomorrow lead story.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
One thing about Donald Trump, and I'm not a huge fan.
I tell you what he's done with the tariffs is
exactly what he.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And you've got one guy, and I've never seen this
who can literally turn around and upset the entire world
market now mark its now. I think presidents have the power,
but no presidents have ever had the guts to do this,
and he's done exactly that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And he's talked about how great tariffs are.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
We don't know how tariffs are going to pan out,
but he's getting what he wants. Yesterday it was the
US European Union deal fifteen percent, and frankly European Union
caved on this, and the President is getting what he wants,
and he is right.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
The tariffs have been unfair in.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
The United States, and now the United States through Donald Trump,
is using its power, which it has lots of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So we'll see in long term.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now right now, as you know, my partner, Saville and
I are in the cookwear import business and it's stainless
steel cookware from China. So we just brought in a container,
were part of a container and spent seventy two thousand
(07:38):
dollars for the goods Our tariff bill was eighty seven
thousand dollars on seventy two thousand dollars. Now, how far
does that go. Well, there's going to be a deal
cut with China and they're going to reduce the cost
of stainless steel coming in because how sustainable is that?
(08:02):
And we had no choice. We had to do it
because our customers needed it and we can't have them
go out of business. So that segment, or that little
import package was not particularly profitable.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
All right, Amy Aids on the way Israel has begun
allowing more trucks of food aid into Gaza and also
turned the power back on to a critical water treatment plant.
It's NETANYAHUO appears to have bowed to growing international pressure
(08:39):
like everybody because of the growing humanitarian crisis. They're saying
that more and more children are starving and they're not
getting the food in. So what Israel is doing is
they're pausing operations for a certain amount of hours a
day and letting trucks in.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And Natanya who says there is no starvation effectively, I
know there are the videos of kids starving to death,
and every single un organization and every single doctor who
is volunteering that go into Gaza, and there are plenty
of American doctors who volunteer for a number of weeks
(09:17):
that go in because there aren't enough doctors. Every one
of them is saying starvation, starvation, starvation. In addition to
all of this placement. And Nittanya who is oh, no,
that's not true, fake news. Well he's caving because Israel
is very close to being a prie estate. It's going
(09:38):
to be on the same level of North Korea if
they don't straighten out.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
And what's happening.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Is Nettaw who is caved is caved, and he should
and there should be unlimited humanitarian aids oh. Also, the
argument is Hamas is stealing the food and using it
as a weapon of war or using it to control
its ow people so we can funnel that money to
buy arms. I'm sorry, which it is not in any
(10:08):
major way. That's according to the humanitarian people that are there.
Of course, Kamas denies it, but Israel says that it's happening,
you know what, not in any major way. Of course,
there are incidents where it is, but not as a
fundamental philosophy. That is what is being reported by all
the UN people. Israel is the only one that's saying
(10:32):
that Hamas is using that. I don't know if any
other country, any other organization that says Hamas is stealing
the food in a great in a massive way or
as part of policy. I thought they'd let their people starve. Nope,
nor not, as far as the evidence is concerned. This
is what we're looking at. Okay, let's go ahead and
(10:55):
take a break. We'll come back, and we've got plenty
more handle on the news sect. This is KFI Bill
handle here and the Morning Cruise Shorta on Monday, July
twenty eighth. Back we Go more handle on the news,
Amy no Neil until tomorrow and me.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Making sure all can see the Games. La Meyrit Bass
has hosted a special event and signed an official Games
host City Accessibility Commitment that she says promises to make
sure that the Olympic Games are inclusive for all. Team
USA paralympian Jack O'Neill said he thought it was pretty incredible.
(11:34):
Incredible because spectators are at the heart of why athletes
want us or like us want to compete. So making
sure that people in wheelchairs and people with visual or
hearing impairments can see and hear the games not only
just to witness the games, but also enjoy the great
city of La So he thinks it's a great thing.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know, have you noticed the Paralympic Games started as
sort of an offshoot of the Olympic Games, sort of
a kind of the little stepsister that it was no
big deal, And now it has come to the point
where it is almost as big and they do it
together and it's kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And then did you see what was it the man who.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Spoke on behalf of the Braille Institute that is part
of it, and a little bit injured because he ran
into a doorway stop.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Okay, what what.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Speaker Johnson is doing a bit of a balancing act.
He was on Meet the Press yesterday and he was
talking about Glaine Maxwell, of course, the right hand woman
to Jeffrey Epstein. She's serving her twenty years in prison
for sex trafficking, and he said that, you know, I
(12:57):
think she should have a lifetime since she said twenty
years as a pittance. But then they went on and
they were talking more about how Gallaine Maxwell was talking
to the Deputy Attorney General last week and whether Trump
might pardon Gallaine Maxwell in exchange for her testimony. And
he said, obviously that's the decision of the president. I'm
(13:21):
not going to get in front of him. It's not
my lane.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, clearly Trump is not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Can you imagine pardoning someone who was involved in sexually
molesting and raping fourteen year old girls, women, young women.
I don't think there's going to be a pardon in
the works here. Now, what was I going to say, Oh,
this is about Mike Johnson? He said, oh, no, the
government is doing what it could, and it's doing its investigation.
(13:50):
That's why I sent Congress home one day early, one
day before a vote was to be taken to mandate
the administration and in releasing its records.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And Trump thinks this is going to go away.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He's dismissing this, or keeps on trying to dismiss this,
I tell you, and so and Johnson, who of course
is backing up Trump whatever Trump wants. Mike Johnson has
said that over and over again, is also trying to
minimize it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
This is not going to go away.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, here's a question for you, Bill. If he's trying
to dismiss it, which he keeps saying, yeah, there's nothing
to see here whatever, Right, But then why did he
have the Deputy Attorney General go and spend two days
talking to Gallaine Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He didn't, He had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
That's Department of Justice, and there is a lot of
pressure on the Trump administration, and I think what they're
doing Trump administration is going over there and hoping Glaine
Maxwell says, no, Trump was not involved, he has nothing
to do with it, in the hopes that she's going
(14:58):
to get some kind of a deal. Maybe we're do sentence,
I don't think that's going to happen. And Trump's name
is all over the Epstein files. I listened to an
interview of Epstein's brother talked about how close Epstein and
Donald Trump were. I mean they hung out a lot together.
(15:19):
Now does that.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Mean that Trump did any wrong? Do we know? I
don't think so.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I don't think he was involved in fourteen or fifteen
or sixteen year old girls. And then Epstein's brother explained,
and everybody knew this. Incidentally, Trump was elected on this.
It was not a secret. Everybody knew this that Trump
number one is a womanizer and his thing are young models,
(15:44):
models in their twenties. I mean, look who he married
the Miss Universe contest. That was his thing, and that
was That's what Trump was. So he was not particularly
interested in girls under eighteen. So do I think Trump
did anything wrong? Nope, I don't think other than well,
(16:05):
we know he screws around. But everybody knows he screws around.
He's a womanizer, and so there's no secret there, none
at all.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
All Right, moving on, Trump loses around. A federal judge
has dismissed Trump administration lawsuit against Chicago's sanctuary laws. The
lawsuit was filed in February at alleged that's so called
sanctuary laws in Chicago thwart federal efforts to enforce immigration laws.
(16:35):
Judge Lindsay Jenkins said the individual defendants are dismissed because
the United States lacks standing to sue them with respect
to the sanctuary policies. So did she say that they
didn't have standing or did she rule that the sanctuary
laws can stand? Because that's a I mean, that's kind
of no.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Just that the Trump administration didn't have standing to go
against a city with its own policy. That's what they
It's a technical issue. It's a question of standing. Now
all of this is going to go to the Supreme Court.
I guarantee it because it's a very very big deal,
and it's I'm sorry you.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Were going to go, well, I was going to say
if she said that it doesn't have standing. She didn't
say that the lawsuit didn't have merit. She said that
the US didn't have standing. Can that Can that be
decided by the Supreme Court?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Absolutely? And standing.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Here's what you have to have in a lawsuit. You
have to be damaged. There has to be an active
case in front of you. You can't do a hypothetical case.
I once what went up to the appeals court on
the law that I was fighting in the world of surrogacy,
and it was the sperm donation law. How men were
being hurt by the sperm donor law. And the appeals
(17:48):
court looked at me and said, any guys who have
been hurt by this, well, no, there's no standing here.
There's no damage. When someone actually he is damage, you
can come to me. So there are a lot of
issues going up, but standing is just the ability to
go into court and argue.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And the judge, now this is just a federal.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Judge, hasn't gone up on appeals yet, and I'm sure
it is going to go to the Supreme Court because
it is the relationship between the federal government and a
city government having to do with city policy.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So let's go on. That's we'll continue on with the
Handle on the News.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
KFI AM six forty Bill Handle.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Here. It is a Monday morning, July twenty eighth, As
we start a new week of continuing on with Handle
on the News.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Amy kneels back tomorrow and me.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Dairy farms are getting a shot in the arm. Federal
government has paid California dairy farms more than two hundred
and thirty million dollars. It's to help subsidize the losses
in milk production from the bird flu. That H five
N one bird flu swept through more than seventy five
percent of the one thousand dairy farms in California just
(19:11):
since last August. Of course, lots of cattle sick lots
put down and that led to steep drop offs in
milk production.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, it's going to go up too, as claims are
being made to the federal government. Surprising at the federal
government at this point with its administration, he's not saying
a word about California. They're coming to the table, I believe,
like anybody else, as if anybody else any other state
had the same problem.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
So that's good news.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Well, it turns out you don't need a gun to
carry out a mass casualty incident. A man with a
folding knife went on a random stabbing attack in Walmart
in Michigan. Eleven people were stabbed, I think six men,
five women. A couple of them had to have surgery.
Everyone survived. The guy was arrested. His name is Bradford Giel.
(20:09):
He's forty two from Alton, Michigan. Officials don't know what
the actual motive is for the attack, but they are
seeking to charge him with terrorism.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Did you see did you see that video? I have
everybody around him. He looks really mentally ill. It looks
like he's got some real problems. Also, there were a
group of people that surrounded him to stop him from
going forward with more of these attacks. One guy with
a gun pointing right at him, and they all de
(20:41):
escalated and were able to hold him until authorities arrived.
It was even the sheriff said, it was extraordinary how
these people reacted, just to not only heroism, but how
I mean they could have This guy with a gun
could have blown his head off and it would have
been complete self defense. He was having a knife and
swinging it around in his hand. And now usually I
(21:05):
go crazy on gun control, as you know, So I
was switching gears for a moment, and I'm going to
push for knife control.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
What pilot gets a police escort of sorts. A Delta
Airlines co pilot was taken into custody shortly after the
plane landed at San Francisco International Airport. So the plane
had landed, nobody had gotten off the plane, and agents
(21:38):
got on the plane. People on board said that they
stormed it, went up to the cockpit and cuffed one
of the pilots and took him out.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, and it wasn't because he was drunk, and it
wasn't because he was unruly the report. One news outlet
in Minnesota said the charges related to a child sexual
abuse issue, which is pretty unusual and never heard of
a pilot being taken off an airplane in handcuffs.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We y, they haven't said officially who it was or
what the charges are, but child sexual abuse is one thing.
I also saw child porn possibility, So we'll have to
wait and see him.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Needles to say he's not going to be flying for
the airline anytime soon, assuming. I wonder, if he's just charged,
does the airline keep him? And I would say yes,
because I think this becomes a lawsuit If they don't,
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I'm just speculating here.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I don't either.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Forget Kim. His sister is tough. The sister of North
Korean leader Kim Jong un has rebuffed overtures by South
Korea's new government, saying that North Korea has no interest
in talks with South Korea no matter what proposal it offers.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
They go back and forth over the years, they and treats,
and treaties are made. Let's talk, they do talk, and
they turn around and don't talk. And they have programs
where people can visit family members.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That is on and off.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
His sister, by the way, just pointing out, as you
just said, Amy, it looks like she is next in line.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
To be the leader of North Korea.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
He has brought her up to enormous power and came
from nowhere too, So that's a little unusual.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Okay, let's go ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I was just gonna say, it'll be interesting to see
too if they continue this kind of tough stance. Yeah,
if because of Russia, you know, because they're like, no,
we have an open line with Russia now, so they
might feel emboldened.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, And why is Russia so close Because North Korea
is providing arms, lots of it, and personnel also fighters
and Russia is in fair amount of trouble with its
soldiers all right now, We're going to come back and
finish up handle on the news. Canfie handle here. It
(24:21):
is a Monday morning, July twenty eight, Modified Morning Team
this morning, Sam in for Kdos back tomorrow, Nobody in
for Neil who is back tomorrow, and Amy in for
Amy who is back tomorrow clearly and the rest of
(24:42):
the week. All right, let's go ahead and finish up
handle on the news on this morning with Amy, and
as I said, O'Neil and me.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Hopefully the clashes will not continue. We're just getting word
that Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an unconditional cease
fire to end the deadly border class classes that have
been breaking out recently. Dozens have been killed, tens of
thousands of people have been displaced. But today the Cambodian
(25:13):
Prime Minister and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand had
a meeting and then they shook hands when it was
over and said, we got an unconditional ceasefires starting at midnight.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Now look at the difference.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
First of all, they've had this border dispute for generations,
I mean for years and years and years, and so
you now have an attack. I don't even know who
started it across the border. But this happened what last week.
And these are two countries that wanted peace, and I
mean they did not want to go to war and
(25:49):
wanted to straighten this out, and they did in a
matter of just a couple of days. A few countries
out there that don't do this. For example, you've got
Israel Kamas, where neither one of them were willing to
come to the table with any kind of I won't
even say the word legitimate, with any kind of forceful
(26:10):
accommodation or compromise. So good news for Thailand and Campbod. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Trump apparently was using alternative facts when it comes to
Quinn b He claimed on social media that Beyonce broke
the law by getting paid eleven million dollars for endorsing
Kamala Harris during the last presidential campaign. So that's apparently
not exactly right.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
By a long shot money wise.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yes, Federal campaign campaign spending records show that there was
a one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars payment from
the Harris campaign to Beyonce's production company, which the campaign
listed as a campaign event production. I think Beyonce performed
at one of her events but they said they don't
pay celebrity endorsers, but they are required to cover production
(27:06):
costs or not quite eleven million.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
No, and not only that, I mean, if the law
says they have to cover production costs, I'm assuming that's
the law. And there's a big difference paying for the
production versus getting paid eleven million dollars for an endorsement.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I don't know where this came up.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It was he described this figure, and he did this
in an interview in February that somebody just showed me
something that they gave.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Her eleven million dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And you know, these allegations that come out not just
a front of the Trump administration, but from MAGA supporters
and I mean all the crazy people. It just drives
me nuts. Has anybody actually said among MAGA supporters that,
(28:01):
as a matter of fact, there was not a Democratic
cabal led by Hillary Clinton under that pizza parlor in
Chicago where it was a child molestation ring. Do you
remember that one? That was my favorite one, That was
one of the best. It really was. Forget about the
contrails of jets being a government conspiracy, all the rest
(28:25):
of it. That one is absolutely the most beauteous one
out there.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
It's going to be a creepy crawley summer. I think
this is actually very cool. If you're hiking or camping
in the Southwest and the West for the next few months,
you could experience the fright of a lifetime, depending on
how you feel about spiders. In California, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico,
and Texas, tens of thousands of tarantulas we'll be crawling
(28:53):
out of their burrows looking for dates. Its mating season
for tarantulas, and apparently sometimes you even see them in
hordes crossing roads certain times of the years.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And they're very gentle.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I mean they're huge, they're as big as your hand,
but they're very gentle. They I mean, they'll bite you,
but there's no venom or anything in them.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Well, they won't bite you if you don't make them.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
But if you pick them up and you're gentle about it,
they're not going to leave you alone.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I understand. You can even train them.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You can go paw, but you don't know which leg
to actually grab when they do that.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I got to hold one last year at the at
the Natural History Museum. Is that where it was there?
I mean, yeah, they're very cool.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, it's a little disconcerting to have this thing crawl around,
but still, yeah, it's they're hairy, and it's just sort
of have to get over the initial fright.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah, and thousands of them at one time might be
a bit much. That's like what horror movies are made of.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, that's a whole bunch of Nope, Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Listen up if you want to. If you love your liver.
Serious liver disease is becoming more common among Americans who
drink heavily. So they're not saying it's because more people
are out partying or that people are having more drinks.
It's that more people who drink regularly are getting sick.
Over the last two decades, the share of heavy drinkers
(30:18):
who have advanced liver scarring has jumped from one point
eight percent to four point three percent.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Let me ask you, isn't this a question of just
reporting in a different statistic.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean, what a shocker. You drink a lot, you
get liver disease.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But we're finding out, for example, autism, right, autism has exploded. Well,
they're just they're assessing who has autism. Before they couldn't
even diagnose it. They had no idea. So I think
that's the case here. That is a question of just
new reporting.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
It's not more people getting sick, it's just that we
know why they're getting sick.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I think so it could be.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I think that's the case where they're just paying more
attention to it. All right, guys, we are done with
the news coming up. Just announced over the weekend, the
President and the chair or the head of the EU,
the Economic twenty I think seven country Economic Union, I
(31:17):
have agreed to a deal, the trade deal. And I
got to tell you Trump went on this one. He's
getting exactly what he wants and we don't know what
the fallout is going to be. But I tell you
when he said the most beautiful words are terrorists, I
mean he's going balls to the wall on that. No
surprise there. We'll be back with that. This is KFI
(31:40):
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
You're listening to Bill Handle on Demand from KFI AM
six forty
You're listenings KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio f.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And did Good.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Morning everybody a Monday morning, July twenty eighth. This is
the week we leave July and go into August.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Just in case you didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Damn, I am so good as I do all this
very heavy analysis.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, we have a modified team this morning. Neil
comes back tomorrow, so he's back with the team. Sam
is with us this morning because KNO is doing whatever
the hell Kno is doing this morning and is here,
and Will Cole Schreiber is here with us as he
(00:46):
normally is every morning. And that's about it, all right.
So I want to tell you a story of what
happened over the weekend. On Saturday night, there was an
event at the Lincoln Club.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
The Lincoln Club in Orange.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is a very conservative organization that supports Republican candidates and
it's very influential, and my goddaughter helps run it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
She's one of the execs.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So I was invited and I brought Steve Gregory as
my plus one.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Steve, as you know who is well.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It was I think one of the premier reporters here
on KFI. As a matter of fact, I think he's
the best reporter in what he does in the country.
And he has gone over to another radio station and
the name of that radio station is So it's easy
for me to invite Steve because Steve is actually a
(01:47):
very dear friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So because it was such a conservative group.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
As we were going around introducing ourselves, I introduced Steve
as my husband.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
All night long, I had to do that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And so as we sat down, I sat next to
Todd Spitzer.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Todd who is the DA of.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Orange County and I have been and Todd's been a
friend of mine for thirty five years.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
He was a state.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Senator, a Settleman Orange County supervisor, and he is now
the District Attorney of Orange County. And thirty five years
ago or thirty two years ago, he was a screener,
thus screener on handle on the law. That's how far
back we go. And the keynote speaker was Nicole Shanahan,
(02:38):
who was rfk's running mate vice presidential running mate for
Robert Kennedy before he dropped out of the race and
endorsed Donald Trump. And he is of course now Health
and Human Services secretary, and as she got up to speak,
(02:59):
I mentioned that it looks like she has the measles.
The table was not amused. I just wanted to let
you know it was great time had by all. First
of all, very nice people, really nice people, and a
couple of them listened to this show, which I don't
(03:19):
understand why and came up and said hello.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But it was quite an event.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I thought it was going to be rabid political, because
I've been to democratic events where it's rabid political, where
literally they foam at the mouth. It looks like they've
just brushed their teeth and have not rinsed yet. Not
at all, not at all. I mean they ripped into
the Democratic Party. You would expect that as Democrats rip
(03:46):
into the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So it was very political in that sense.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But I have to tell you I was expecting a
lot more rabidity. Is that the word I'm looking for?
In any case, great fun, great fun. And just for
the record, Steve Gregory is not my husband, although very
I'm sure that there are quite a few people there
(04:11):
who think that he is. And I had my diet
coke and it was an open bar. Very elegant, great
food too. Okay, that's and there are more awards being
given out on Saturday night where I think I was
the only person that didn't get an award in that
room and there were over five hundred and fifty people
(04:33):
in the room.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
All right, so much for that.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Amy, good morning, Good morning, Bill, and Will.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Good morning to you. Good morning Bill.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I never asked you, is it legally William? Yes? From
there we go.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Not a Willy, will not a wil not Wilbur, not
a Willie, not a Billy.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There are a lot of kids when I was growing
up with a lot of other Bills, and I liked,
it's cool to be a will.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, actually I was Willy when I was really young.
But will Yeah, okay, yeah, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Uh. Well, my middle name is Wolf because that was
my name, legal name.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I wish I kept it. I wish I kept it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But in kindergarten, first grade, you know, it's a little
rough being a wolf.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So I actually chose my own name William. Oh you
out of the blue.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I don't even remember why I picked it, but I'm
the one that picked it. When we became naturalized. Uh,
and your name becomes legal at that point, and that
is what your name is in the United States, or
a name for some reason, I chose William, and then
I moved Wolf into my middle name, which is why
I am William Wolf Handle.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's why Neil says that when he says, that's why.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, Okay, there you go, and Sam, good morning,
good morning, Bill, there you go, and and the one
and only Hello, good morning Bill.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
There we go. Everybody's happy on a Monday, why not?
Huh you? Yeah, Okay, let's do it, guys.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It is time for Handle on the news on this
Monday morning with Amy and Me O'Neil until tomorrow lead story.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
One thing about Donald Trump, and I'm not a huge fan.
I tell you what he's done with the tariffs is
exactly what he.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And you've got one guy, and I've never seen this
who can literally turn around and upset the entire world
market now mark its now. I think presidents have the power,
but no presidents have ever had the guts to do this,
and he's done exactly that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And he's talked about how great tariffs are.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
We don't know how tariffs are going to pan out,
but he's getting what he wants. Yesterday it was the
US European Union deal fifteen percent, and frankly European Union
caved on this, and the President is getting what he wants,
and he is right.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
The tariffs have been unfair in.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
The United States, and now the United States through Donald Trump,
is using its power, which it has lots of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So we'll see in long term.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now right now, as you know, my partner, Saville and
I are in the cookwear import business and it's stainless
steel cookware from China. So we just brought in a container,
were part of a container and spent seventy two thousand
(07:38):
dollars for the goods Our tariff bill was eighty seven
thousand dollars on seventy two thousand dollars. Now, how far
does that go. Well, there's going to be a deal
cut with China and they're going to reduce the cost
of stainless steel coming in because how sustainable is that?
(08:02):
And we had no choice. We had to do it
because our customers needed it and we can't have them
go out of business. So that segment, or that little
import package was not particularly profitable.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
All right, Amy Aids on the way Israel has begun
allowing more trucks of food aid into Gaza and also
turned the power back on to a critical water treatment plant.
It's NETANYAHUO appears to have bowed to growing international pressure
(08:39):
like everybody because of the growing humanitarian crisis. They're saying
that more and more children are starving and they're not
getting the food in. So what Israel is doing is
they're pausing operations for a certain amount of hours a
day and letting trucks in.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And Natanya who says there is no starvation effectively, I
know there are the videos of kids starving to death,
and every single un organization and every single doctor who
is volunteering that go into Gaza, and there are plenty
of American doctors who volunteer for a number of weeks
(09:17):
that go in because there aren't enough doctors. Every one
of them is saying starvation, starvation, starvation. In addition to
all of this placement. And Nittanya who is oh, no,
that's not true, fake news. Well he's caving because Israel
is very close to being a prie estate. It's going
(09:38):
to be on the same level of North Korea if
they don't straighten out.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
And what's happening.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Is Nettaw who is caved is caved, and he should
and there should be unlimited humanitarian aids oh. Also, the
argument is Hamas is stealing the food and using it
as a weapon of war or using it to control
its ow people so we can funnel that money to
buy arms. I'm sorry, which it is not in any
(10:08):
major way. That's according to the humanitarian people that are there.
Of course, Kamas denies it, but Israel says that it's happening,
you know what, not in any major way. Of course,
there are incidents where it is, but not as a
fundamental philosophy. That is what is being reported by all
the UN people. Israel is the only one that's saying
(10:32):
that Hamas is using that. I don't know if any
other country, any other organization that says Hamas is stealing
the food in a great in a massive way or
as part of policy. I thought they'd let their people starve. Nope,
nor not, as far as the evidence is concerned. This
is what we're looking at. Okay, let's go ahead and
(10:55):
take a break. We'll come back, and we've got plenty
more handle on the news sect. This is KFI Bill
handle here and the Morning Cruise Shorta on Monday, July
twenty eighth. Back we Go more handle on the news,
Amy no Neil until tomorrow and me.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Making sure all can see the Games. La Meyrit Bass
has hosted a special event and signed an official Games
host City Accessibility Commitment that she says promises to make
sure that the Olympic Games are inclusive for all. Team
USA paralympian Jack O'Neill said he thought it was pretty incredible.
(11:34):
Incredible because spectators are at the heart of why athletes
want us or like us want to compete. So making
sure that people in wheelchairs and people with visual or
hearing impairments can see and hear the games not only
just to witness the games, but also enjoy the great
city of La So he thinks it's a great thing.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know, have you noticed the Paralympic Games started as
sort of an offshoot of the Olympic Games, sort of
a kind of the little stepsister that it was no
big deal, And now it has come to the point
where it is almost as big and they do it
together and it's kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And then did you see what was it the man who.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Spoke on behalf of the Braille Institute that is part
of it, and a little bit injured because he ran
into a doorway stop.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Okay, what what.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Speaker Johnson is doing a bit of a balancing act.
He was on Meet the Press yesterday and he was
talking about Glaine Maxwell, of course, the right hand woman
to Jeffrey Epstein. She's serving her twenty years in prison
for sex trafficking, and he said that, you know, I
(12:57):
think she should have a lifetime since she said twenty
years as a pittance. But then they went on and
they were talking more about how Gallaine Maxwell was talking
to the Deputy Attorney General last week and whether Trump
might pardon Gallaine Maxwell in exchange for her testimony. And
he said, obviously that's the decision of the president. I'm
(13:21):
not going to get in front of him. It's not
my lane.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, clearly Trump is not going to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Can you imagine pardoning someone who was involved in sexually
molesting and raping fourteen year old girls, women, young women.
I don't think there's going to be a pardon in
the works here. Now, what was I going to say, Oh,
this is about Mike Johnson? He said, oh, no, the
government is doing what it could, and it's doing its investigation.
(13:50):
That's why I sent Congress home one day early, one
day before a vote was to be taken to mandate
the administration and in releasing its records.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And Trump thinks this is going to go away.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He's dismissing this, or keeps on trying to dismiss this,
I tell you, and so and Johnson, who of course
is backing up Trump whatever Trump wants. Mike Johnson has
said that over and over again, is also trying to
minimize it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
This is not going to go away.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, here's a question for you, Bill. If he's trying
to dismiss it, which he keeps saying, yeah, there's nothing
to see here whatever, Right, But then why did he
have the Deputy Attorney General go and spend two days
talking to Gallaine Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He didn't, He had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
That's Department of Justice, and there is a lot of
pressure on the Trump administration, and I think what they're
doing Trump administration is going over there and hoping Glaine
Maxwell says, no, Trump was not involved, he has nothing
to do with it, in the hopes that she's going
(14:58):
to get some kind of a deal. Maybe we're do sentence,
I don't think that's going to happen. And Trump's name
is all over the Epstein files. I listened to an
interview of Epstein's brother talked about how close Epstein and
Donald Trump were. I mean they hung out a lot together.
(15:19):
Now does that.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Mean that Trump did any wrong? Do we know? I
don't think so.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I don't think he was involved in fourteen or fifteen
or sixteen year old girls. And then Epstein's brother explained,
and everybody knew this. Incidentally, Trump was elected on this.
It was not a secret. Everybody knew this that Trump
number one is a womanizer and his thing are young models,
(15:44):
models in their twenties. I mean, look who he married
the Miss Universe contest. That was his thing, and that
was That's what Trump was. So he was not particularly
interested in girls under eighteen. So do I think Trump
did anything wrong? Nope, I don't think other than well,
(16:05):
we know he screws around. But everybody knows he screws around.
He's a womanizer, and so there's no secret there, none
at all.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
All Right, moving on, Trump loses around. A federal judge
has dismissed Trump administration lawsuit against Chicago's sanctuary laws. The
lawsuit was filed in February at alleged that's so called
sanctuary laws in Chicago thwart federal efforts to enforce immigration laws.
(16:35):
Judge Lindsay Jenkins said the individual defendants are dismissed because
the United States lacks standing to sue them with respect
to the sanctuary policies. So did she say that they
didn't have standing or did she rule that the sanctuary
laws can stand? Because that's a I mean, that's kind
of no.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Just that the Trump administration didn't have standing to go
against a city with its own policy. That's what they
It's a technical issue. It's a question of standing. Now
all of this is going to go to the Supreme Court.
I guarantee it because it's a very very big deal,
and it's I'm sorry you.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Were going to go, well, I was going to say
if she said that it doesn't have standing. She didn't
say that the lawsuit didn't have merit. She said that
the US didn't have standing. Can that Can that be
decided by the Supreme Court?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Absolutely? And standing.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Here's what you have to have in a lawsuit. You
have to be damaged. There has to be an active
case in front of you. You can't do a hypothetical case.
I once what went up to the appeals court on
the law that I was fighting in the world of surrogacy,
and it was the sperm donation law. How men were
being hurt by the sperm donor law. And the appeals
(17:48):
court looked at me and said, any guys who have
been hurt by this, well, no, there's no standing here.
There's no damage. When someone actually he is damage, you
can come to me. So there are a lot of
issues going up, but standing is just the ability to
go into court and argue.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
And the judge, now this is just a federal.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Judge, hasn't gone up on appeals yet, and I'm sure
it is going to go to the Supreme Court because
it is the relationship between the federal government and a
city government having to do with city policy.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So let's go on. That's we'll continue on with the
Handle on the News.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
KFI AM six forty Bill Handle.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Here. It is a Monday morning, July twenty eighth, As
we start a new week of continuing on with Handle
on the News.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Amy kneels back tomorrow and me.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Dairy farms are getting a shot in the arm. Federal
government has paid California dairy farms more than two hundred
and thirty million dollars. It's to help subsidize the losses
in milk production from the bird flu. That H five
N one bird flu swept through more than seventy five
percent of the one thousand dairy farms in California just
(19:11):
since last August. Of course, lots of cattle sick lots
put down and that led to steep drop offs in
milk production.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, it's going to go up too, as claims are
being made to the federal government. Surprising at the federal
government at this point with its administration, he's not saying
a word about California. They're coming to the table, I believe,
like anybody else, as if anybody else any other state
had the same problem.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
So that's good news.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Well, it turns out you don't need a gun to
carry out a mass casualty incident. A man with a
folding knife went on a random stabbing attack in Walmart
in Michigan. Eleven people were stabbed, I think six men,
five women. A couple of them had to have surgery.
Everyone survived. The guy was arrested. His name is Bradford Giel.
(20:09):
He's forty two from Alton, Michigan. Officials don't know what
the actual motive is for the attack, but they are
seeking to charge him with terrorism.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Did you see did you see that video? I have
everybody around him. He looks really mentally ill. It looks
like he's got some real problems. Also, there were a
group of people that surrounded him to stop him from
going forward with more of these attacks. One guy with
a gun pointing right at him, and they all de
(20:41):
escalated and were able to hold him until authorities arrived.
It was even the sheriff said, it was extraordinary how
these people reacted, just to not only heroism, but how
I mean they could have This guy with a gun
could have blown his head off and it would have
been complete self defense. He was having a knife and
swinging it around in his hand. And now usually I
(21:05):
go crazy on gun control, as you know, So I
was switching gears for a moment, and I'm going to
push for knife control.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
What pilot gets a police escort of sorts. A Delta
Airlines co pilot was taken into custody shortly after the
plane landed at San Francisco International Airport. So the plane
had landed, nobody had gotten off the plane, and agents
(21:38):
got on the plane. People on board said that they
stormed it, went up to the cockpit and cuffed one
of the pilots and took him out.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, and it wasn't because he was drunk, and it
wasn't because he was unruly the report. One news outlet
in Minnesota said the charges related to a child sexual
abuse issue, which is pretty unusual and never heard of
a pilot being taken off an airplane in handcuffs.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We y, they haven't said officially who it was or
what the charges are, but child sexual abuse is one thing.
I also saw child porn possibility, So we'll have to
wait and see him.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Needles to say he's not going to be flying for
the airline anytime soon, assuming. I wonder, if he's just charged,
does the airline keep him? And I would say yes,
because I think this becomes a lawsuit If they don't,
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I'm just speculating here.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I don't either.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Forget Kim. His sister is tough. The sister of North
Korean leader Kim Jong un has rebuffed overtures by South
Korea's new government, saying that North Korea has no interest
in talks with South Korea no matter what proposal it offers.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
They go back and forth over the years, they and treats,
and treaties are made. Let's talk, they do talk, and
they turn around and don't talk. And they have programs
where people can visit family members.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That is on and off.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
His sister, by the way, just pointing out, as you
just said, Amy, it looks like she is next in line.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
To be the leader of North Korea.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
He has brought her up to enormous power and came
from nowhere too, So that's a little unusual.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Okay, let's go ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I was just gonna say, it'll be interesting to see
too if they continue this kind of tough stance. Yeah,
if because of Russia, you know, because they're like, no,
we have an open line with Russia now, so they
might feel emboldened.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, And why is Russia so close Because North Korea
is providing arms, lots of it, and personnel also fighters
and Russia is in fair amount of trouble with its
soldiers all right now, We're going to come back and
finish up handle on the news. Canfie handle here. It
(24:21):
is a Monday morning, July twenty eight, Modified Morning Team
this morning, Sam in for Kdos back tomorrow, Nobody in
for Neil who is back tomorrow, and Amy in for
Amy who is back tomorrow clearly and the rest of
(24:42):
the week. All right, let's go ahead and finish up
handle on the news on this morning with Amy, and
as I said, O'Neil and me.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Hopefully the clashes will not continue. We're just getting word
that Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an unconditional cease
fire to end the deadly border class classes that have
been breaking out recently. Dozens have been killed, tens of
thousands of people have been displaced. But today the Cambodian
(25:13):
Prime Minister and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand had
a meeting and then they shook hands when it was
over and said, we got an unconditional ceasefires starting at midnight.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Now look at the difference.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
First of all, they've had this border dispute for generations,
I mean for years and years and years, and so
you now have an attack. I don't even know who
started it across the border. But this happened what last week.
And these are two countries that wanted peace, and I
mean they did not want to go to war and
(25:49):
wanted to straighten this out, and they did in a
matter of just a couple of days. A few countries
out there that don't do this. For example, you've got
Israel Kamas, where neither one of them were willing to
come to the table with any kind of I won't
even say the word legitimate, with any kind of forceful
(26:10):
accommodation or compromise. So good news for Thailand and Campbod. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Trump apparently was using alternative facts when it comes to
Quinn b He claimed on social media that Beyonce broke
the law by getting paid eleven million dollars for endorsing
Kamala Harris during the last presidential campaign. So that's apparently
not exactly right.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
By a long shot money wise.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yes, Federal campaign campaign spending records show that there was
a one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars payment from
the Harris campaign to Beyonce's production company, which the campaign
listed as a campaign event production. I think Beyonce performed
at one of her events but they said they don't
pay celebrity endorsers, but they are required to cover production
(27:06):
costs or not quite eleven million.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
No, and not only that, I mean, if the law
says they have to cover production costs, I'm assuming that's
the law. And there's a big difference paying for the
production versus getting paid eleven million dollars for an endorsement.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I don't know where this came up.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
It was he described this figure, and he did this
in an interview in February that somebody just showed me
something that they gave.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Her eleven million dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And you know, these allegations that come out not just
a front of the Trump administration, but from MAGA supporters
and I mean all the crazy people. It just drives
me nuts. Has anybody actually said among MAGA supporters that,
(28:01):
as a matter of fact, there was not a Democratic
cabal led by Hillary Clinton under that pizza parlor in
Chicago where it was a child molestation ring. Do you
remember that one? That was my favorite one, That was
one of the best. It really was. Forget about the
contrails of jets being a government conspiracy, all the rest
(28:25):
of it. That one is absolutely the most beauteous one
out there.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
It's going to be a creepy crawley summer. I think
this is actually very cool. If you're hiking or camping
in the Southwest and the West for the next few months,
you could experience the fright of a lifetime, depending on
how you feel about spiders. In California, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico,
and Texas, tens of thousands of tarantulas we'll be crawling
(28:53):
out of their burrows looking for dates. Its mating season
for tarantulas, and apparently sometimes you even see them in
hordes crossing roads certain times of the years.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And they're very gentle.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I mean they're huge, they're as big as your hand,
but they're very gentle. They I mean, they'll bite you,
but there's no venom or anything in them.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Well, they won't bite you if you don't make them.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
But if you pick them up and you're gentle about it,
they're not going to leave you alone.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I understand. You can even train them.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You can go paw, but you don't know which leg
to actually grab when they do that.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I got to hold one last year at the at
the Natural History Museum. Is that where it was there?
I mean, yeah, they're very cool.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, it's a little disconcerting to have this thing crawl around,
but still, yeah, it's they're hairy, and it's just sort
of have to get over the initial fright.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah, and thousands of them at one time might be
a bit much. That's like what horror movies are made of.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, that's a whole bunch of Nope, Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Listen up if you want to. If you love your liver.
Serious liver disease is becoming more common among Americans who
drink heavily. So they're not saying it's because more people
are out partying or that people are having more drinks.
It's that more people who drink regularly are getting sick.
Over the last two decades, the share of heavy drinkers
(30:18):
who have advanced liver scarring has jumped from one point
eight percent to four point three percent.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Let me ask you, isn't this a question of just
reporting in a different statistic.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean, what a shocker. You drink a lot, you
get liver disease.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But we're finding out, for example, autism, right, autism has exploded. Well,
they're just they're assessing who has autism. Before they couldn't
even diagnose it. They had no idea. So I think
that's the case here. That is a question of just
new reporting.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
It's not more people getting sick, it's just that we
know why they're getting sick.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I think so it could be.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I think that's the case where they're just paying more
attention to it. All right, guys, we are done with
the news coming up. Just announced over the weekend, the
President and the chair or the head of the EU,
the Economic twenty I think seven country Economic Union, I
(31:17):
have agreed to a deal, the trade deal. And I
got to tell you Trump went on this one. He's
getting exactly what he wants and we don't know what
the fallout is going to be. But I tell you
when he said the most beautiful words are terrorists, I
mean he's going balls to the wall on that. No
surprise there. We'll be back with that. This is KFI
