Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI
AM six forty. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, I just want to put it on the record
that Neil is an ass for coming up with that
idea that somehow I'm wealthy, wealthy, wealthy.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You don't hurt me. The white rich man has been
trying to keep US Mexicans down for a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Oh, stop and successfully so and now handle on the news,
ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Talk about Tuesday, August five, as we jump into another
show tomorrow, big big Day, August sixth, as we celebrate
August six every single year?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
What amy giving me the look?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Did I give you a look?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, just give me a look when I said, as
we celebrate August sixth every year.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Oh, I was trying to figure out why we celebrate
August sixth, and I'm thinking it's BJ Day.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
No close, No, No, she didn't say BJ Day, I understand.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, it is Hiroshima Day, August ninth being Nagasaki Day.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
And then when was VJ Day on May?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think it was May thirty one. I think somewhere
along the line. Not nearly as impressive as Hiroshima day.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Oh, I know, but didn't we declare victory over Japan
shortly after?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, those two events, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think, but I think it was a couple of
weeks later it was. Yeah, you're right, it was probably
mid August, mid August. Yeah, yeah, I just don't pay
attention to those dates as much as I do to
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don't know why I did tell
you the last time I went to Japan that I
(02:14):
went to the Hiroshima it's called the Peace Park now,
where the atomic bomb actually did hit. And you saw
that skeleton of the exposition hall, you know, that rounded
dome building which was ground zero, and that is considered
a national treasure, a national park because it signifies the
(02:36):
first and hopefully the only use of the atomic weapon.
Plus Nagasaki, and there were there's a little railing around it,
and there were two Japanese businessmen that were there, and
they were two three yards away from me, and I
look at them, and they look at me because clearly
I'm a Westerner in they're Japanese. And I looked at
(02:59):
them and said, don't grew with us again, and they
did not, I don't think understood I hope they did.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Anyway, Good morning, Neil.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I don't want to follow that, right, Good morning, Amy,
morning Pill, there you go, Cono, good morning.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Good morning, Happy National Underwear Day? Oh is it today today?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And for those of you people that do wear underwear,
congratulations will Good.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Morning to you. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Hey. You know those horizontal stripes that you're wearing your
shirts take you know you look ten pounds dinner?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Appreciate You're welcome and there is Amy.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Good morning Amy?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh, good morning again.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Oh I'm sorry, I'm in Anne.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Sorry about that. I was looking at Anne. No I
conflate the two anyway. They both start with an A.
You're both in the female persuasion. It's close in the meantime, An,
you were at so FI last night?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Right?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I was and you were?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Who was?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Then me?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Have to watch Shakira till almost midnight last night?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Did you say that?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Amazing?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah? She's she's smiling. You know what the best thing
about her is her hips don't lie. They don't.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It didn't last night.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I love a girl whose hips tell the truth. So yeah,
and she's.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
There again tonight. If anybody wants to go see the
tickets still available?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Cono you in? Yeah, I don't take five tickets, yeah,
for sure, just so no one sits next to you,
for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And it was sold out the first night, right, yeah,
how about the second and third night?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
There's only one more night. No, there's still tickets available
for this evening. What happens when someone shows up in
half of so far is empty?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Does that happen?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
It hasn't. They usually book pretty big artists.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
I don't think you would rent that space or just
to play there unless you knew you could sell the
tickets because the forum is across the street and that's
much smaller.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah that makes sense. All right.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
We got a lot going on today, as always, and
let's start with Handle on the news with Amy, not
an Amy, Neil and me lead. Sorry, Well, the big
one is the redisterer King redistricting of the congressional districts
(05:31):
in Texas, and the legislature is about to redraw the map,
which happens every ten years based on the census, and
almost never mid census does the map get redrawn. And
the whole point of redrawing it is to add, in
this case add Republican seats. So the way it works
(05:54):
is they take the Democrats and move all of them
into one district and that becomes a safe Democratic district,
and then the districts around them are no longer Democrat
because they're drawing a map around Republican enclaves. So it
looks like if they're able to pull it off, five
new Republican seats. This was done upon the order of
(06:18):
Donald Trump. Donald Trump said this is what I want done,
and of course the the Texas legislature said yes sir, yes,
or yes sir with a salute, and I don't know
if they gen reflected or not. Maybe they did. So
what the Democrats are doing, they're leaving the state because
you need a quorum to make the vote.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So they're in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
New York Governor Abbott said, we're sending state troopers out
there to.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Arrest them and bring them back. It's the Old West.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It is insane, a posse, that's exactly what they're handling.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So undocumenteds, yes, are counted in the census. Yes they are,
And that doesn't sway California.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, you know, I don't know if they if it's
how many are I think the census does count legal
and illegal it's not used for the purposes of immigration,
but the census wants to know.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But wouldn't it be used to decide how many seats
and things like that we get.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
No, because you have a number of voting citizens.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And that's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I don't think they count illegal migrants as voters. I
may be wrong on that. I don't know, and you
want to look that up and see if I'm right
on that. But what's happened in retaliation is you got
Newsom and you've got a huckle of New York the
governor saying we're going to do that ourselves. The problem
(07:52):
is that blue states have voted in independent committees to
make that draw those districts that are nonpartisan, and so
it is, well, here's.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
What's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I guarantee you UH is the uh the governor's gonna
put on the ballot and they have to do it
very very quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The same thing.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Republican money will come in and we'll push for the
fact that you can't undo a a committee that is
by part that is nonpartisan. The law is nonpartisan, and
you can't undo that. You'll see the Republicans doing that
in response. But you guys did it. Uh, and then
(08:39):
they deflect completely. Watch what's going to happen. So if
the democratic governors are able to pull the same thing
in democratic states, I don't know who's gonna win on
that one.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's a tit for tat.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And you know, my Schafuntz is bigger than your shauns
and that's what ends up happening.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's it's a mess.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
And the US census does count illegal immigrants as voters, yeah,
all US residents, And that's kind to have some play,
I would think.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But it's also and they do count him as voters
or they don't differentiate his voters, they.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Count him as people, because then the districts are representing
that number of people.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Kay, got it all right?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Since primarily right?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay, Okay, I was wrong, and we won't be doing
that again. As a matter of fact, Kno, for purposes
the podcast, would you edit all that out?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I would appreciate that. Okay, All kinds of interesting things
being tossed around since Trump was put in office. One
of the newest ones last month, if you remember, you
had Trump coming out and accusing Obama of treason, which
is you know, he didn't provide any evidence or anything,
(09:53):
but pretty damn thing. I guess when you think about
it that way. Trump won the twenty sixteen election againainst
Hillary Clinton. We all know that. But now you have
US Attorney General Pam Bondi. She's directing the federal prosecutors
to launch this grand jury investigation to see if basically
(10:13):
the members of the Democratic Party foreign President Barack Obama's
administration had manufactured this intelligence on Russia and Russian interference
there back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Now, and the general consensus, at least among the administration
at that time and most Democrats, is that Russia did interfere,
but it didn't do anything to affect the election. And
with the Trump administration, and now we have Pam Bondi,
the Attorney General, the FBI, everybody is saying, is that
even the suggestion that the interference is in of itself
(10:49):
criminal to make that suggestion and is the weaponization of
the Department of Justice, And of course Donald Trump is
guilty of treason. Now, I would love us take that
to a the first example, not that it's going to
because is Donald Trump doing his normal bombastic statements. Wouldn't
you love to see the FBI showing up at Obama's
(11:11):
house and handcuffing him and arresting him for treason.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
How is that for a visual So what would it
have to what would they have to prove that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Actually treason is during a wartime, you help the enemy.
That I understand, the aid and comfort to the enemy
during the during the time of war.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It used to be death right. You could be hanging
in the public square. You couldn't It.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Could be it could be treason. It has does have
the death penalty. I don't know if it still does.
But the last time anybody was killed for treason, I
don't even know. I mean, there was one guy during
World War Two that was executed for desertion, which was
(11:59):
also the death penalty.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
But treason, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, I'll tell you the Julius Julius Ethel Rosenberg nineteen
forty nine were executed for giving the secrets of the
atomic bomb to the Russians.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
They were executed.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That was considered treason, although it wasn't treason, I don't think,
because again, this is times war, I do believe that
war has to be declared in any ways, I doubt
that Obama is going to be handcuffed and tried for treason,
just a wild ass.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Guess, getting ready to go all in to get Gaza.
Negotiations on a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza appeared
to be at an impasse. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says,
you know what, those hostages aren't coming out until we
take over Gaza. And so they're meeting with Security Cabinet
(12:52):
and pushing for support to do a full conquest of
the Gaza strip isels in net cited senior officials close
to net y'all who is saying the die is cast,
We're going for full conquest.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
This has to do with the reaction to those two
Israelis who are being held hostage, and Hamas released the
video of them emaciated, much like you see people in
Gaza who are starving to death, and it was effectively
a tit for tad except as I said yesterday, Hamas
(13:30):
is crazy to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
This was a reaction to the starvation.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Now, Israel of course denies there's any starvation going on,
denies that they're stopping human humanitarian aid.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
For coming in.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Israel has its own fantasy going on right now, saying
oh no, no, we're not shooting anybody. Nobody is starving,
aid is coming through and it's insane. And then Hamas
is not going to give up. Israel's real simple up.
The hostages leave, demilitarize, and senior leaders of Hamas leave
(14:05):
God and that is simply not going to happen. So
as you said Natsagna, who said, okay, we're going to
double down and we are now going to wipe out
the rest of Gaza and we're going to occupy Gaza.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Just what we need. Boy, that's going to help the world,
isn't it. So you take the way back machine. I
heard that earlier on wake Up Call, and you go
back to the early nineteen nineties and technology and science
was really jumping off when it came to the freezing
and thawing of embryos. This was huge news. So thirty
(14:40):
one years ago you had a woman put her eggs
on ice. She uses one, has a daughter, then gets
a divorce, things change, she doesn't use the other three.
Now comes something interesting, the adoption of frozen eggs, frozen embryos,
and embryos for frozen embryos. Yes, that's actually big business,
(15:02):
by the way I would imagine. But huge business, you
tell me. They yeah, they say about two percent of
the US berths are from in vitro fertilization, and smaller
number of those come from donated embryos. But in this
particular case, you have one that was in storage frozen
for eleven thousand, one and forty eight days, believed to
(15:25):
be the longest storage time before a successful berth, and
that birth has been made.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, a couple of things, this is my wheelhouse, and
a couple things about frozen sperm. Okay, there is frozen
sperm from champion bulls where the bull's been dead for
forty years. Because sperm and embryos will last virtually and
definitely in a frozen state. It's almost absolute zero in
(15:52):
liquid nitrogen. And when I taught reproductive law, yes I
was a professor of God Forbid, I would come up
early days when we knew we just started freezing embryos.
I said, let me give you a scenario which is
absolutely scientifically. Here you have two embryos that have been created.
(16:16):
Let's call them too embryos, female embryo sisters, because they
came at the same time and they were created with
the same egg and with the same sperm. One embryo
is frozen, the other one is fresh and is implanted.
(16:37):
And twenty years later the embryo is defrosted and goes
into her sister. Her sister carries the child created by
that frozen embryo. Her sister is her mom. Where to
go legally with that one? That was a fun class
(17:02):
that I taught. And that was just one of the scenarios.
And now reproductive law and third party of reproduction. And
by the way, I was stoned on cocaine every day
of my die was every single day that I taught.
I was ripped on cocaine all right.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Long Beach has fleas. Health officials are urging residents to
take steps to reduce flea exposure after confirming a higher
than average number of fleaborn typhus infections. As of the
end of July, the public Health Department has reported twenty
confirmed cases of typhus. That's compared to what they usually
(17:48):
see during the same period, which is about twelve. Fleaborn
Typhus is a bacterial disease transmitted to humans through infected fleas,
which are typically found on things like rats, opossums, and
or feral cats.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
It's not to human.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Now, do you know who was one of the most
famous victims of typhus who died of typhus?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
No Wilbur Wright in nineteen twelve the y.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yes, he died of ty Yes, he died of typhus
or it was maybe it was typhoid, or maybe it
was the clap.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think it was a typhoid. Sounds probably more period accurate, but.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, it may be typhus. We have to look that up.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Do you know did he know anybody named Mary? Oh? Typhoid?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Mary Wilbur died of typhoid fever.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
See, I told you it was either typhus or typhoid.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I told you it was one. You are two for
two today. Yeah, well no, I that know.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I get a C plus on that one too. It
was one of it was one of the two, and
it wasn't the clap, but I just used that as
a third go round.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Wow, like watching a plane crash. Okay, every day movie. Okay,
So you've got Russia invasion in Ukraine, putin thrown around
nuclear threats all the time, but when we do it,
all hell breaks loose. So you've got Moscow finally breaking
(19:22):
their silence on the statement or not the statement, but
the reality of President Donald Trump ordering those two nuclear
submarines to the appropriate regions. I think was the term
he used. And so you've got Russia, Russia saying, hey,
(19:43):
we are paying, we are very attentive and paying a
lot of attention to what's going on, and people should
not be throwing around. They should be, in their words,
very very cautious with nuclear rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Now this is bomb basted on both sides. The President
movie nuclear subs in that area. It doesn't matter where
in the world nuclear subs are. Missiles can be launched
to hit anywhere in the world. So that is not realistic.
It is merely a statement. And the Russians have no
idea where our nuclear subs are either. They're still super
(20:18):
duper secret, so it can happen anyway. And it's just
tit for tat. It's Putin and President Trump just going
back and forth, and thank goodness, it's a war of
words at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh great story.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
If you don't want your pet anymore, a zoo in
Denmark will take it, but you might not like what
it's going to do with it. The zoo is requesting
donations of healthy horses and other small pets to feed
to their captive predatory animals. The zoo says it accepts
live horses, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs to give to
(20:59):
its carve carnivorous animals. They say it is their responsibility
to mimic the natural food chain as much as possible.
It says donated animals are gently euthanized by the staff
before they're served up for dinner.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Well, okay, you think you think they will do that
with people who would be gently euthanized and combine death
with dignity and use them as a carnivorm carnivorm meat?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
But it's weird. This is weird, but it makes sense
when you think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, when you it's the circle of life. Man, you
want me to sing it, But let me tell you
it's different in a zoo. Yeah, but why euthanize them?
I mean, I know, no, you no, you know, for
cruelty reading, But if you're trying to upkeep the the
nature of the animal, wanting to hunt and and all that,
(21:58):
you're not really you're just giving them meat. Yes that's true.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Then why but meet in its original state where they
have to tear through the skin and the feathers and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
All right, No, I wasn't like advocating for one.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, and it'd be a little and it's a little
rough if you throw in live animals.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
It's just no fun, the screaming.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
All right, Ups, what could Brown do for you except
you know, poison the supply chain? Maybe? So they are paying.
They've been ordered to pay one over one point seven
million in civil penalties. And this is all related to
you know, costs and stuff like that following the statewide investigation.
(22:44):
So it looks like they are accused of the improper
disposal of hazardous garbage like medical waste and stuff like that.
One hundred and forty of its facilities here in California
is where they're doing this. They have not only UPS
that we know, but the UP Supply Chain Solutions is
part of their group and UPS General Services. They say
(23:06):
that they violated these environmental laws and discarded this hazarded
medical waste in the regular trash bit. So that means
that it ends up in you know, landfills.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Right, And what's the I have a question, what's point
one seven four five million dollars to a company like
ups that probably does north of one hundred billion dollars
a year in business, and I don't know if one
hundred billion dollars a year is the right figure.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, how would they calculate that bill? Well, how do
they calculate that that number? Is that just for the cleanup?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
No, the cleanup there, I'm throwing in another couple one
hundred thousand dollars, so I I just the numbers are
pocket change here, So I did this is when they
have these small fines and this is in the couch,
you know, and then the sofa is in the waiting room.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Is what this is?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Well, this could kill tourism. The State Department is proposing
requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a
bond of up to fifteen thousand dollars to come into
the US. The Department says it would start a twelve
month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to
have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls
(24:28):
could be required to post a bond of five, ten,
or fifteen thousand dollars when they apply for a visa.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, I'm assuming this is mainly third world countries and
they don't spend a lot of money here the big
countries that come in from northern Europe.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
This isn't going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Now. I can see the method here, method to the madness,
if you will. And this is part of a we
don't want furners in this country, particularly those that overstay
their visas, and there are lots of those, so I
can see it now. Fifteen thousand dollars, Yeah, maybe that's
a little high, but they're also talking ten thousand dollars.
(25:06):
They're also talking five thousand dollars. So obviously this is
in the initial stages and a lot of stuff goes
on with the Trump administration that never pans out.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
All right, You ever taste something and it takes you back,
and you go, wow, that really takes me back. If
I'm tasting something and have it take you way back
to like the beginning. There's a new ice cream available nationwide.
If you haven't heard about this, and I think we
talked about it sometime ago, Freedom, which is the you know,
they are part of Odd Fellows. They do small batch
(25:42):
ice cream. Well, they have a limited number of breast
milk flavored ice cream pints and they're nationwide you can
purchase them online now, and it's not made with actual
breast milk.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Little.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Doesn't that sound a little weird? Breast milk?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Very strong? Yeah, just it just sounds weird. That's all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Jumping into breast milk when you're in your thirties or
forties or fifty.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
He's kind of sweet. Do you know what I do?
Know what it tastes like?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Oh you do?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, there's a there's a subject that we can talk about.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But it's weird, okay. Moving on.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
The EUS showing restraint, the European Union is not going
to impose its countermeasure tariffs on the US for six months.
They were supposed to go into effect on the seventh
of August, but the European Union Commission says they're going
to hold off for six months while they still continue
(26:58):
to work out this deal with the US. The EU
agreement still has a lot of questions open, including tariff
rates on spirits or booze, and also that the deal
last week did not include any carve outs for cars
and car parts and that kind of stuff. But EU
officials say they're thinking there's going to be some tweaks to.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That yeah, so far Trump is winning this battle for sure.
Now what is going to be the fallout? He says,
The truck prices are not going to go up. Prices
have to go up, and they do go up when
there's tariffs. But this retaliatory stuff from Europe at this
point or the other countries, they're all caving. They're all caving. Now,
(27:43):
how big are tariffs that we're paying? Example, I've said
this before. My partner Saville and I we bring in
cookwear with our cookwear business, and we get it from
China and it's stainless steel. So the last little batch
we ordered, because we're ordering small, small batches with seventy
(28:04):
two thousand dollars, the duty was eighty seven thousand dollars
on seventy two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That's a lot of duty, you.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Think, so oh very well said, yeah, that's been. Yeah,
this is going.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
We'll see how this pans out, and right now pans out,
pop and thank you. And when it's all said and done,
what's left now is ten percent tariff on everything coming
in this country at a minimum.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Oh, I think we have one more. That is what
Trump has been doing. What he hasn't been doing is
mandating IVF medical care. If you remember, that was one
of the promises Trump said, we want to produce babies
in our country, Right, will mandate your insurance company to
pay for IVF. Right. Well, nothing's come of that, and
(28:59):
some people are frustrated. He got six months in and nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Right, nothing, And he had promised in virtual fertilization would
be a big deal, and uh, it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
It's just not happening.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Uh. And there's some pushback on this. One even said
anything about it. I mean six months, I mean, everybody,
I understand, but it was doing too much. He's not
doing enough.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well, you can argue that it was.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's it was, but it was a major campaign promise,
and for infertile couples this is a big deal. Also,
if you look at it, the rate of masturbation has
dropped precipitously in the United States.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Not in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I heard going, nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You know how this works.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You know how to fur, you know how you fertilize
an egg with Well, okay, I think we're done. Poor egg, Yeah,
poor egg. This is KF I A M sixty.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You've been listening to the bill handles show.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Catch My Show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI
AM six forty. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, I just want to put it on the record
that Neil is an ass for coming up with that
idea that somehow I'm wealthy, wealthy, wealthy.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You don't hurt me. The white rich man has been
trying to keep US Mexicans down for a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Oh, stop and successfully so and now handle on the news,
ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Talk about Tuesday, August five, as we jump into another
show tomorrow, big big Day, August sixth, as we celebrate
August six every single year?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
What amy giving me the look?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Did I give you a look?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, just give me a look when I said, as
we celebrate August sixth every year.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Oh, I was trying to figure out why we celebrate
August sixth, and I'm thinking it's BJ Day.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
No close, No, No, she didn't say BJ Day, I understand.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, it is Hiroshima Day, August ninth being Nagasaki Day.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
And then when was VJ Day on May?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think it was May thirty one. I think somewhere
along the line. Not nearly as impressive as Hiroshima day.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Oh, I know, but didn't we declare victory over Japan
shortly after?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, those two events, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think, but I think it was a couple of
weeks later it was. Yeah, you're right, it was probably
mid August, mid August. Yeah, yeah, I just don't pay
attention to those dates as much as I do to
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don't know why I did tell
you the last time I went to Japan that I
(02:14):
went to the Hiroshima it's called the Peace Park now,
where the atomic bomb actually did hit. And you saw
that skeleton of the exposition hall, you know, that rounded
dome building which was ground zero, and that is considered
a national treasure, a national park because it signifies the
(02:36):
first and hopefully the only use of the atomic weapon.
Plus Nagasaki, and there were there's a little railing around it,
and there were two Japanese businessmen that were there, and
they were two three yards away from me, and I
look at them, and they look at me because clearly
I'm a Westerner in they're Japanese. And I looked at
(02:59):
them and said, don't grew with us again, and they
did not, I don't think understood I hope they did.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Anyway, Good morning, Neil.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I don't want to follow that, right, Good morning, Amy,
morning Pill, there you go, Cono, good morning.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Good morning, Happy National Underwear Day? Oh is it today today?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And for those of you people that do wear underwear,
congratulations will Good.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Morning to you. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Hey. You know those horizontal stripes that you're wearing your
shirts take you know you look ten pounds dinner?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Appreciate You're welcome and there is Amy.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Good morning Amy?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh, good morning again.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Oh I'm sorry, I'm in Anne.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Sorry about that. I was looking at Anne. No I
conflate the two anyway. They both start with an A.
You're both in the female persuasion. It's close in the meantime, An,
you were at so FI last night?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Right?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I was and you were?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Who was?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Then me?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Have to watch Shakira till almost midnight last night?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Did you say that?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Amazing?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah? She's she's smiling. You know what the best thing
about her is her hips don't lie. They don't.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It didn't last night.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I love a girl whose hips tell the truth. So yeah,
and she's.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
There again tonight. If anybody wants to go see the
tickets still available?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Cono you in? Yeah, I don't take five tickets, yeah,
for sure, just so no one sits next to you,
for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And it was sold out the first night, right, yeah,
how about the second and third night?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
There's only one more night. No, there's still tickets available
for this evening. What happens when someone shows up in
half of so far is empty?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Does that happen?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
It hasn't. They usually book pretty big artists.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
I don't think you would rent that space or just
to play there unless you knew you could sell the
tickets because the forum is across the street and that's
much smaller.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah that makes sense. All right.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
We got a lot going on today, as always, and
let's start with Handle on the news with Amy, not
an Amy, Neil and me lead. Sorry, Well, the big
one is the redisterer King redistricting of the congressional districts
(05:31):
in Texas, and the legislature is about to redraw the map,
which happens every ten years based on the census, and
almost never mid census does the map get redrawn. And
the whole point of redrawing it is to add, in
this case add Republican seats. So the way it works
(05:54):
is they take the Democrats and move all of them
into one district and that becomes a safe Democratic district,
and then the districts around them are no longer Democrat
because they're drawing a map around Republican enclaves. So it
looks like if they're able to pull it off, five
new Republican seats. This was done upon the order of
(06:18):
Donald Trump. Donald Trump said this is what I want done,
and of course the the Texas legislature said yes sir, yes,
or yes sir with a salute, and I don't know
if they gen reflected or not. Maybe they did. So
what the Democrats are doing, they're leaving the state because
you need a quorum to make the vote.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So they're in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
New York Governor Abbott said, we're sending state troopers out
there to.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Arrest them and bring them back. It's the Old West.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It is insane, a posse, that's exactly what they're handling.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So undocumenteds, yes, are counted in the census. Yes they are,
And that doesn't sway California.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, you know, I don't know if they if it's
how many are I think the census does count legal
and illegal it's not used for the purposes of immigration,
but the census wants to know.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But wouldn't it be used to decide how many seats
and things like that we get.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
No, because you have a number of voting citizens.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And that's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I don't think they count illegal migrants as voters. I
may be wrong on that. I don't know, and you
want to look that up and see if I'm right
on that. But what's happened in retaliation is you got
Newsom and you've got a huckle of New York the
governor saying we're going to do that ourselves. The problem
(07:52):
is that blue states have voted in independent committees to
make that draw those districts that are nonpartisan, and so
it is, well, here's.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
What's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I guarantee you UH is the uh the governor's gonna
put on the ballot and they have to do it
very very quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The same thing.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Republican money will come in and we'll push for the
fact that you can't undo a a committee that is
by part that is nonpartisan. The law is nonpartisan, and
you can't undo that. You'll see the Republicans doing that
in response. But you guys did it. Uh, and then
(08:39):
they deflect completely. Watch what's going to happen. So if
the democratic governors are able to pull the same thing
in democratic states, I don't know who's gonna win on
that one.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's a tit for tat.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And you know, my Schafuntz is bigger than your shauns
and that's what ends up happening.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's it's a mess.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
And the US census does count illegal immigrants as voters, yeah,
all US residents, And that's kind to have some play,
I would think.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But it's also and they do count him as voters
or they don't differentiate his voters, they.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Count him as people, because then the districts are representing
that number of people.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Kay, got it all right?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Since primarily right?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay, Okay, I was wrong, and we won't be doing
that again. As a matter of fact, Kno, for purposes
the podcast, would you edit all that out?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I would appreciate that. Okay, All kinds of interesting things
being tossed around since Trump was put in office. One
of the newest ones last month, if you remember, you
had Trump coming out and accusing Obama of treason, which
is you know, he didn't provide any evidence or anything,
(09:53):
but pretty damn thing. I guess when you think about
it that way. Trump won the twenty sixteen election againainst
Hillary Clinton. We all know that. But now you have
US Attorney General Pam Bondi. She's directing the federal prosecutors
to launch this grand jury investigation to see if basically
(10:13):
the members of the Democratic Party foreign President Barack Obama's
administration had manufactured this intelligence on Russia and Russian interference
there back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Now, and the general consensus, at least among the administration
at that time and most Democrats, is that Russia did interfere,
but it didn't do anything to affect the election. And
with the Trump administration, and now we have Pam Bondi,
the Attorney General, the FBI, everybody is saying, is that
even the suggestion that the interference is in of itself
(10:49):
criminal to make that suggestion and is the weaponization of
the Department of Justice, And of course Donald Trump is
guilty of treason. Now, I would love us take that
to a the first example, not that it's going to
because is Donald Trump doing his normal bombastic statements. Wouldn't
you love to see the FBI showing up at Obama's
(11:11):
house and handcuffing him and arresting him for treason.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
How is that for a visual So what would it
have to what would they have to prove that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Actually treason is during a wartime, you help the enemy.
That I understand, the aid and comfort to the enemy
during the during the time of war.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It used to be death right. You could be hanging
in the public square. You couldn't It.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Could be it could be treason. It has does have
the death penalty. I don't know if it still does.
But the last time anybody was killed for treason, I
don't even know. I mean, there was one guy during
World War Two that was executed for desertion, which was
(11:59):
also the death penalty.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
But treason, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, I'll tell you the Julius Julius Ethel Rosenberg nineteen
forty nine were executed for giving the secrets of the
atomic bomb to the Russians.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
They were executed.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That was considered treason, although it wasn't treason, I don't think,
because again, this is times war, I do believe that
war has to be declared in any ways, I doubt
that Obama is going to be handcuffed and tried for treason,
just a wild ass.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Guess, getting ready to go all in to get Gaza.
Negotiations on a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza appeared
to be at an impasse. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says,
you know what, those hostages aren't coming out until we
take over Gaza. And so they're meeting with Security Cabinet
(12:52):
and pushing for support to do a full conquest of
the Gaza strip isels in net cited senior officials close
to net y'all who is saying the die is cast,
We're going for full conquest.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
This has to do with the reaction to those two
Israelis who are being held hostage, and Hamas released the
video of them emaciated, much like you see people in
Gaza who are starving to death, and it was effectively
a tit for tad except as I said yesterday, Hamas
(13:30):
is crazy to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
This was a reaction to the starvation.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Now, Israel of course denies there's any starvation going on,
denies that they're stopping human humanitarian aid.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
For coming in.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Israel has its own fantasy going on right now, saying
oh no, no, we're not shooting anybody. Nobody is starving,
aid is coming through and it's insane. And then Hamas
is not going to give up. Israel's real simple up.
The hostages leave, demilitarize, and senior leaders of Hamas leave
(14:05):
God and that is simply not going to happen. So
as you said Natsagna, who said, okay, we're going to
double down and we are now going to wipe out
the rest of Gaza and we're going to occupy Gaza.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Just what we need. Boy, that's going to help the world,
isn't it. So you take the way back machine. I
heard that earlier on wake Up Call, and you go
back to the early nineteen nineties and technology and science
was really jumping off when it came to the freezing
and thawing of embryos. This was huge news. So thirty
(14:40):
one years ago you had a woman put her eggs
on ice. She uses one, has a daughter, then gets
a divorce, things change, she doesn't use the other three.
Now comes something interesting, the adoption of frozen eggs, frozen embryos,
and embryos for frozen embryos. Yes, that's actually big business,
(15:02):
by the way I would imagine. But huge business, you
tell me. They yeah, they say about two percent of
the US berths are from in vitro fertilization, and smaller
number of those come from donated embryos. But in this
particular case, you have one that was in storage frozen
for eleven thousand, one and forty eight days, believed to
(15:25):
be the longest storage time before a successful berth, and
that birth has been made.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, a couple of things, this is my wheelhouse, and
a couple things about frozen sperm. Okay, there is frozen
sperm from champion bulls where the bull's been dead for
forty years. Because sperm and embryos will last virtually and
definitely in a frozen state. It's almost absolute zero in
(15:52):
liquid nitrogen. And when I taught reproductive law, yes I
was a professor of God Forbid, I would come up
early days when we knew we just started freezing embryos.
I said, let me give you a scenario which is
absolutely scientifically. Here you have two embryos that have been created.
(16:16):
Let's call them too embryos, female embryo sisters, because they
came at the same time and they were created with
the same egg and with the same sperm. One embryo
is frozen, the other one is fresh and is implanted.
(16:37):
And twenty years later the embryo is defrosted and goes
into her sister. Her sister carries the child created by
that frozen embryo. Her sister is her mom. Where to
go legally with that one? That was a fun class
(17:02):
that I taught. And that was just one of the scenarios.
And now reproductive law and third party of reproduction. And
by the way, I was stoned on cocaine every day
of my die was every single day that I taught.
I was ripped on cocaine all right.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Long Beach has fleas. Health officials are urging residents to
take steps to reduce flea exposure after confirming a higher
than average number of fleaborn typhus infections. As of the
end of July, the public Health Department has reported twenty
confirmed cases of typhus. That's compared to what they usually
(17:48):
see during the same period, which is about twelve. Fleaborn
Typhus is a bacterial disease transmitted to humans through infected fleas,
which are typically found on things like rats, opossums, and
or feral cats.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
It's not to human.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Now, do you know who was one of the most
famous victims of typhus who died of typhus?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
No Wilbur Wright in nineteen twelve the y.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yes, he died of ty Yes, he died of typhus
or it was maybe it was typhoid, or maybe it
was the clap.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think it was a typhoid. Sounds probably more period accurate, but.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, it may be typhus. We have to look that up.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Do you know did he know anybody named Mary? Oh? Typhoid?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Mary Wilbur died of typhoid fever.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
See, I told you it was either typhus or typhoid.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I told you it was one. You are two for
two today. Yeah, well no, I that know.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I get a C plus on that one too. It
was one of it was one of the two, and
it wasn't the clap, but I just used that as
a third go round.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Wow, like watching a plane crash. Okay, every day movie. Okay,
So you've got Russia invasion in Ukraine, putin thrown around
nuclear threats all the time, but when we do it,
all hell breaks loose. So you've got Moscow finally breaking
(19:22):
their silence on the statement or not the statement, but
the reality of President Donald Trump ordering those two nuclear
submarines to the appropriate regions. I think was the term
he used. And so you've got Russia, Russia saying, hey,
(19:43):
we are paying, we are very attentive and paying a
lot of attention to what's going on, and people should
not be throwing around. They should be, in their words,
very very cautious with nuclear rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Now this is bomb basted on both sides. The President
movie nuclear subs in that area. It doesn't matter where
in the world nuclear subs are. Missiles can be launched
to hit anywhere in the world. So that is not realistic.
It is merely a statement. And the Russians have no
idea where our nuclear subs are either. They're still super
(20:18):
duper secret, so it can happen anyway. And it's just
tit for tat. It's Putin and President Trump just going
back and forth, and thank goodness, it's a war of
words at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh great story.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
If you don't want your pet anymore, a zoo in
Denmark will take it, but you might not like what
it's going to do with it. The zoo is requesting
donations of healthy horses and other small pets to feed
to their captive predatory animals. The zoo says it accepts
live horses, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs to give to
(20:59):
its carve carnivorous animals. They say it is their responsibility
to mimic the natural food chain as much as possible.
It says donated animals are gently euthanized by the staff
before they're served up for dinner.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Well, okay, you think you think they will do that
with people who would be gently euthanized and combine death
with dignity and use them as a carnivorm carnivorm meat?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
But it's weird. This is weird, but it makes sense
when you think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, when you it's the circle of life. Man, you
want me to sing it, But let me tell you
it's different in a zoo. Yeah, but why euthanize them?
I mean, I know, no, you no, you know, for
cruelty reading, But if you're trying to upkeep the the
nature of the animal, wanting to hunt and and all that,
(21:58):
you're not really you're just giving them meat. Yes that's true.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Then why but meet in its original state where they
have to tear through the skin and the feathers and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
All right, No, I wasn't like advocating for one.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, and it'd be a little and it's a little
rough if you throw in live animals.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
It's just no fun, the screaming.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
All right, Ups, what could Brown do for you except
you know, poison the supply chain? Maybe? So they are paying.
They've been ordered to pay one over one point seven
million in civil penalties. And this is all related to
you know, costs and stuff like that following the statewide investigation.
(22:44):
So it looks like they are accused of the improper
disposal of hazardous garbage like medical waste and stuff like that.
One hundred and forty of its facilities here in California
is where they're doing this. They have not only UPS
that we know, but the UP Supply Chain Solutions is
part of their group and UPS General Services. They say
(23:06):
that they violated these environmental laws and discarded this hazarded
medical waste in the regular trash bit. So that means
that it ends up in you know, landfills.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Right, And what's the I have a question, what's point
one seven four five million dollars to a company like
ups that probably does north of one hundred billion dollars
a year in business, and I don't know if one
hundred billion dollars a year is the right figure.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, how would they calculate that bill? Well, how do
they calculate that that number? Is that just for the cleanup?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
No, the cleanup there, I'm throwing in another couple one
hundred thousand dollars, so I I just the numbers are
pocket change here, So I did this is when they
have these small fines and this is in the couch,
you know, and then the sofa is in the waiting room.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Is what this is?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Well, this could kill tourism. The State Department is proposing
requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a
bond of up to fifteen thousand dollars to come into
the US. The Department says it would start a twelve
month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to
have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls
(24:28):
could be required to post a bond of five, ten,
or fifteen thousand dollars when they apply for a visa.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, I'm assuming this is mainly third world countries and
they don't spend a lot of money here the big
countries that come in from northern Europe.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
This isn't going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Now. I can see the method here, method to the madness,
if you will. And this is part of a we
don't want furners in this country, particularly those that overstay
their visas, and there are lots of those, so I
can see it now. Fifteen thousand dollars, Yeah, maybe that's
a little high, but they're also talking ten thousand dollars.
(25:06):
They're also talking five thousand dollars. So obviously this is
in the initial stages and a lot of stuff goes
on with the Trump administration that never pans out.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
All right, You ever taste something and it takes you back,
and you go, wow, that really takes me back. If
I'm tasting something and have it take you way back
to like the beginning. There's a new ice cream available nationwide.
If you haven't heard about this, and I think we
talked about it sometime ago, Freedom, which is the you know,
they are part of Odd Fellows. They do small batch
(25:42):
ice cream. Well, they have a limited number of breast
milk flavored ice cream pints and they're nationwide you can
purchase them online now, and it's not made with actual
breast milk.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Little.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Doesn't that sound a little weird? Breast milk?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Very strong? Yeah, just it just sounds weird. That's all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Jumping into breast milk when you're in your thirties or
forties or fifty.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
He's kind of sweet. Do you know what I do?
Know what it tastes like?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Oh you do?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, there's a there's a subject that we can talk about.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
But it's weird, okay. Moving on.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
The EUS showing restraint, the European Union is not going
to impose its countermeasure tariffs on the US for six months.
They were supposed to go into effect on the seventh
of August, but the European Union Commission says they're going
to hold off for six months while they still continue
(26:58):
to work out this deal with the US. The EU
agreement still has a lot of questions open, including tariff
rates on spirits or booze, and also that the deal
last week did not include any carve outs for cars
and car parts and that kind of stuff. But EU
officials say they're thinking there's going to be some tweaks to.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That yeah, so far Trump is winning this battle for sure.
Now what is going to be the fallout? He says,
The truck prices are not going to go up. Prices
have to go up, and they do go up when
there's tariffs. But this retaliatory stuff from Europe at this
point or the other countries, they're all caving. They're all caving. Now,
(27:43):
how big are tariffs that we're paying? Example, I've said
this before. My partner Saville and I we bring in
cookwear with our cookwear business, and we get it from
China and it's stainless steel. So the last little batch
we ordered, because we're ordering small, small batches with seventy
(28:04):
two thousand dollars, the duty was eighty seven thousand dollars
on seventy two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That's a lot of duty, you.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Think, so oh very well said, yeah, that's been. Yeah,
this is going.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
We'll see how this pans out, and right now pans out,
pop and thank you. And when it's all said and done,
what's left now is ten percent tariff on everything coming
in this country at a minimum.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Oh, I think we have one more. That is what
Trump has been doing. What he hasn't been doing is
mandating IVF medical care. If you remember, that was one
of the promises Trump said, we want to produce babies
in our country, Right, will mandate your insurance company to
pay for IVF. Right. Well, nothing's come of that, and
(28:59):
some people are frustrated. He got six months in and nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Right, nothing, And he had promised in virtual fertilization would
be a big deal, and uh, it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
It's just not happening.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Uh. And there's some pushback on this. One even said
anything about it. I mean six months, I mean, everybody,
I understand, but it was doing too much. He's not
doing enough.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well, you can argue that it was.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's it was, but it was a major campaign promise,
and for infertile couples this is a big deal. Also,
if you look at it, the rate of masturbation has
dropped precipitously in the United States.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Not in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I heard going, nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You know how this works.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You know how to fur, you know how you fertilize
an egg with Well, okay, I think we're done. Poor egg, Yeah,
poor egg. This is KF I A M sixty.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You've been listening to the bill handles show.
