Pardon classic Mickey.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, classic Mickey. All right, will good morning, and I
can't hear you. You may want to put your microphone on.
I understand you're doing a great impression of Helen Keller,
but this is radio. Okay, he's trying. Threw his hands
(02:19):
up in the air because our equipment fifty five years old.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Actually this one's kind of new.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But yeah, I had the wrong thing, pushed my fault. Okay,
very low on the volume.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That okay, there we go.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
No, you're still low on the volume. I can't be
any higher.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Okay, all kinds of technical fund this morning, and and good.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
See there you go, and you have your san diego.
Let's go, Padre Yay, Okay, A couple of things I
want to share with you which I have not yet shared.
Pageant of the Masters every summer my friend DD who
is or D who is the director of it, And.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
This year is spectacularly good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And I think it's going on for another two three weeks.
And boy is it well worth going. Tickets are very
reasonably priced and there is no bad seat in the house.
So I'm going to suggest if you want a great evening,
and I mean a unique evening, there's nothing in the world. Seriously,
there's nothing in the world like the pageant. Just look
(03:34):
up Pageant of the Masters. Okay, so much for that.
What else is going on? Well, the President is on
his way to Alaska.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Has he landed there yet?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
No, it's a seven hour flight. He took off maybe
an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Okay, quite an hour ago.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, And I understand the cease for the president aren't bad.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They're business class.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Aren't they a little bit better than that?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I think you're absolutely right. So we'll be talking about
that today. We've got special election coming up in November,
and I'll talk.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
A lot about that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And oh, Costco news, how unusual? And when was I
last at Costco?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Good god, I'm trying to remember. You know, it has
been such a long Yesterday, I was at Costco. It's
not my therapy, you know, after my therapist fired me,
and she did, she absolutely straight out fired me. She said,
there is nothing I can do for you, Bill, you
are fired. So I had to figure out some other therapy.
(04:43):
And I found out the best therapy for me in
the world is going to Costco and just walking around
and seeing where things are and picking up some stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
And I'm now getting to the point.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Where I buy Costco goods for less than two hundred
dollars ago, which never used to happen before.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
How much was therapy?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh good God to fifty an hour?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So you're saying, no, therapy is pricey. Now, therapy is pricy.
I know my wife, no, no, she let me tell you.
She has a her credentials are amazing, phenomenal degree from
junior college. But she's one of the few therapists who
could actually get her degree from junior college. Your wife
(05:30):
is a therapist neil us junior college also no USC
and a master's degree also, yes, is necessarily Okay?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You guys ready to do this? Yep, Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's time for handle on the news on this Friday
Morning and more, and we start with plenty of It
with Amy Neil and me lead story. Well, I'm going
to just do the headlines on this one because coming
up at seven twenty, I'm going to really dive into
the story. But it looks like California is going forward
(06:13):
with the redistricting vote to counter what Texas has done,
and that is a redistrict the congressional district in Texas
to gain five seats in Congress and California is going
tit for tat toe to toe, and the fight is incredible.
(06:35):
The Republicans are screaming how illegal it is for California
to do this, while it's perfectly okay for Texas to
do this. It is hilarious. The hypocrisy is stunning. And
I'll do that at seven twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
That's all you have to say on that, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So I have to say because I'm really going to
expand it at seven twenty, okay, And it has to
do with a special election and canad happened and why
it's happening and the fight that's going on. So there's
a lot and the special election, why it's you know,
when it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Is it going to happen? So we'll move that on
to that one.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
At seven twenty Okay, the governor's event got iced. Governor
Newsom of course, was announcing his plans to hold that
special election yesterday and outside at the Japanese American National
Museum in downtown LA Border Patrol showed up and did
(07:34):
did a little immigration enforcement detain one person. They're denying
that it had anything to do with the governor's event.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, because it was at the Japanese Cultural Center. Historically
interesting because that is the very spot where the Japanese
were thrown onto buses to be interred in various in
tournament camps across Western United States, Man's and R being
the most famous one here in California. And all of
(08:02):
a sudden, Border Patrol shows up. But the head of
Border Patrol, the chief of this section, Gregory Bovino, said, oh, no, no, no,
we have nothing to do with Newsom's call.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It is completely coincidental.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, you know why it's so ham handed when they
do stuff like this, And how do they do this
with a straight face? Oh, they don't have to show
a straight face because their faces are masked.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Alrighty, this is a sad story. You had a day
laborer who was killed during a home depot immigration raid
in Monrovia, so it's normal they gather there. The day
laborers gather there about eight eight am or so every
single day, and this day was similar, except someone started
(09:01):
yelling in Spanish immigration run and all the workers scrambled.
One person fled from the hardware store running on foot,
obviously didn't get into a car, jumped concrete wall, entered
the eastbound two ten freeway, where he was hit by
a vehicle, taken to the hospital, and he did not
(09:24):
survive his injuries.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, that is a heartbreaking story.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
All you want to get a group going, all you
have to do is say la migra core immigration running,
and that is I mean, can you imagine the panic
where you jump onto a freeway and try to run
across it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, you know, the thing to me that is so
sad is that they are just as unprotected in Los
Angeles as the homeless. And you've got the left thinking
they're doing right by these people, and they're not. They're
you know, they claim a sanctuary city, but it's not
a sanctuary. There's still laws. So they're totally unprotected.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
And you know, protection, you know, depends on how you
determine or how you define protection.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
In the sanctuary city, it doesn't it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's called the sanctuary city, but it's not sanctuary, the
biblical sanctuary the way we know it. You run into
a house of worship and you grab the horns of
the bull.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's a sanctuary city.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The way it's defined that local authorities will not cooperate
with the FEDS. Local authorities will fund centers that help
these people, uh, the illegal migrants legally will give them
in the case of schools, for example, give them packets,
Tell them here the lawyers are going to help you.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Here are safe zones. That is the definition of sanctuary.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
But you're right traditional it's traditionally speaking, the definition sanctuary
is it is not a sanctuary. You are right, definitionally,
so we have to look up sanctuary.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
The former first son has two words for the First
Lady f that That was his response to First Lady
Milania Trump threatening to sue him for a billion dollars
in damages because of comments he made that linked her
to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently he said, I
(11:35):
think that Epstein might have introduced Trump and Millennia, And
he said, if that not apologizing, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know, that's a billion dollars in damages.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
My shocker is it's not twenty billion dollars in damages.
I love lawsuits that have these kinds of figures. I mean,
come on, where's the credibility ask for real damages?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
What are they? Who they?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Hell knows but a billion, two billion, five billion?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Okay? And by the way, what's the allegation.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That she introduced Epstein to or yeah, she introduced Epstein
to her husband?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
No, that Epstein introduced to Trump and Malania to each other.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Okay, So there's worth a billion dollars in damages, right, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
All right. Bondie is clarifying a little bit about the
chain of command in d C right now. She came out,
pam Bondi. Of course, the US Attorney General named Terry Cole,
the head of the DEA as DC's what they're referring
to as Emergency Police Commissioner, which means that the chief
(12:52):
of Police, Pamela Smith will be answering to him, and
that it's the current chain of command. This will go
on obviously as long as Donald Trump as president. Well
doesn't he have like thirty days.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, but he's going to get Congress.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
But Congress has to vote to extend it, in which
it of course it will. And this is kind of
interesting because it's the only place in the country where
the president has the right to federalize the local police department.
Is effective what he did, and no other state, no
other city, can he do that.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
But DC is an outlier. As we all know.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It's not a state, it's a city. It's an autonomous city.
Except it's not the It was just reported by I
think it was BBC or CNN. As I'm looking at
both that the chief of police, the current chief of police,
it says, I don't have to listen to Pam Bondi
or report to this new Terry Cole, who is the
(13:56):
interim chief of police according to the Justice Department.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I think he does. I think I think she does. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Obama's backing his boys and girls. The former president joined
a virtual meeting with Texas House Democrats who left the
state to stop a vote on redistricting. He cheered on
their efforts and stress that their work comes at a
critical time in the fight against partisan jerry mandering. He said,
I want all of you to be returning feeling invigorated,
(14:29):
and know that you've helped to lead what is going
to be a long struggle. It's not going to be
resolved right away, and it's going to require ultimately the
American people understanding the stakes and realizing we cannot take
our freedoms and democracy for granted.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What makes this story interesting is former presidents traditionally stay
the hell out of politics.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Just state.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To this extent, it is unprecedented.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yes, you had George w just complet completely follow that tradition.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Oh yeah, he started.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Ronald Reagan followed that tradition.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Ronald Reagan, on the other hand, went to Japan and
got two million dollars for a speech, which is not
a bad gig, but stayed out of politics. And now
Obama feels so strongly about what's going on, He's jumping
and jumping right in and he is by far the
most popular Democrat that exists in the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All Right, the DOO So today, the Dow is on
pace to hit its first record high of the year.
Optimism is behind this Wall Street. Strangely enough, a lot
of turbulence going on financially, but things look good. Dall
fires were hired.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Was that the total contradiction because you look at the
tariffs and prices are going up. There's no question they
are going to be more expensive for Americans, There's no
question about that. But longer term, the president with the
terrorist saying we're gonna move jobs and manufacturing in the
United States, and you would think based on that the Dow.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Would be down. It's it's up.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Corporate earnings are strong, Investor enthusiasm is strong, particularly about AI.
Employment is good in certain fields. There are fields in
which you can't get a job, but for the most part,
employment is strong. It's it's almost contradictory. And as of
right now, it looks like a pretty big win for
(16:35):
the President in terms of where he has said we
are going to go.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
That's because that's we're going in that direction.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'm gonna let this one stand. The Supreme Court has
declined to block for now law in Mississippi that imposes
age verification and parental consent requirements on social media sites.
So net choice represents Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, x YouTube and
other sites. It had asked the Supreme Court to intervene
(17:07):
after an appeals court said that Mississippi could enforce its
law while the courts decided whether it's constitutional. Justice Britt
Kavanaugh wrote that while Mississippi law, the Mississippi law is
likely unconstitutional, Net Choice didn't show that letting it be
enforced during the legal challenge is sufficiently harmful.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So this is one of those you didn't make a decision, really.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, this is one of those quote technical arguments and decisions.
The decision is we're going to not make a decision
because the plaintiffs have not shown that they have been damaged.
Plaintiffs being all of these major tech companies, the major platforms,
(17:51):
and so it's the only difference is okay, the law.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Either we're going to put it on hold or we're
going to let.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It go forward until we decide, and they're going effectively.
What the court said is you you better, you better
find someone who's been damaged by this, and then we'll
hear the case.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
All right, So be careful what you asked chat GPT
see AI is not necessarily smarter than the person using it,
and this is unfortunate but there was a man who
went on chat GPT. He wanted to cut salt sodium
from his diet, so he asked what would replace or
(18:33):
what is an alternative to salt, and a sixty year
old guy the chat GPT suggested sodium bromide, which is
you know, used in pharmaceuticals manufacturing, but it's not something
you would take as a assault, you know, yeah, substitute.
So the guy got very sick. He started hallucinating. They
(18:57):
call it bromide toxicity or broke not broism, don't know,
but he had these neurological psychiatric symptoms rather acne, these
bumps on his skin, fatigue, all these things, and he
was hospitalized very for three months. He was doing this.
(19:18):
Take him genius.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Put put his name in ask GPT what this guy's
name is, and the word moron will appear somewhere in
his name.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Gonna come, couldna come back? Suka? I call him sucka.
But the thing is is that I don't know what
the prompt was. The doctors couldn't find the prompt on
his chat GPT conversation, so it might have just thought,
you mean for cleaning, you know, replacing salt for cleaning.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Probably the hells well, either that it was either wrong
or the AI is already trying to kill us.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh, very good, very good.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We're gonna do a story about that, by the way,
at seven fifty. Good segue for that.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
This could be a truly magical cruise. Princess Cruises has
unveiled new details about its latest version of Spellbound by
Magic Castle. Yes, the Magic Castle, a castle in la
has teamed up with Princess Cruises for an immersive, mystifying
experience found on the cruise line's newest ship, It's the
(20:24):
Star Princess, which will arrive in Florida on her maiden voyage.
Cruise guests will have a chance to experience the Magic
Castle at sea. It's modeled after a nineteen twenty theater
that hides a secret speakeasy and takes direct inspiration from
the Victorian mansion on Franklin Avenue. That is the Magic Castle.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That is seriously cool. If you're in the magic you
would do that. And as it pulls into port, you
have no is it really there? Now?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
You see it? Now you don't you really don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
You pull up to the dock and then it disappears.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It's correct, David Copperfield is going to make it completely disappear.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
That would be cool, all right, So more fun stuff
coming out of climate pollution. This time it's messing with
Earth's atmosphere and that is messing with GPS and satellites.
So there apparently is greater risk that is gonna, you know,
be exacerbated over the next couple decades or so that
(21:23):
solar triggered geomagnetic storms are going to start messing with
GPS and other satellite usages. And this is all because
of the volume of planet warming carbon dioxide from cow's buds.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Hey, I have a question, and maybe I'm wrong on this,
Amy correct me. I had read earlier this week someplace
that today certain satellites that deal with weather prediction, helping
the climatologists figure out what weather is like, are being decommissioned.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Is that story come up?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Word that I just is some Is this fake news
that I picked up somewhere I have not heard.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think it's then it's fake news.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Okay, then it's an anti Trump administration theory that's out there.
Don't we absolutely love the Internet.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Well, some older satellites are being decommissioned.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And Okay, so it's the way you interpret it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Now, the fact that they happen to be weather reading
satellites and they're just older, that may be a coincidence.
And I don't know the answer to that, because at
this point, no matter what side of the political spectrum
does anything, it's always an attack of some kind.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
It's always a political move.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
They have three specifically, or actually four that they've listed.
They were older, like one of them it had a failure,
so they shut it down. One had degraded their subsystems
and instruments weren't working.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They've been up there for years.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
All I'm saying is look at the way that can
be portrayed. It's a question of definition. It's a question
of how you describe what's happening. Like Neily all got
into the definition of a sanctuary city, what does that
actually mean?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I think we all agree on this show that older,
decrepit things that don't work anymore should be decommissioned.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh that's a good point. Oh you're talking about me? No, what, bastard? What?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
When they say people are acting like babies, they're not kidding.
Stressed out young adults in China are popping pacifiers in
their mouths to sue their weary souls. The Silicon southers
reportedly now big business on e commerce sites in China.
They're adult sized sold as sleep aids, stress relievers, and
(23:54):
even smoking cessation tools, and shoppers are suckers for the.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Passifiers, you know, adult pacifiers. I could do forty five
minutes on that alone. It is just why not you
walk around with a passifier in your mouth and people
take you very seriously?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You know that?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Well, boss Baby people respected him? Who boss Baby? The cartoon? Okay,
the Wonder Horse, nothing, okay right. Renowned comic actor Paul Rodriguez,
as you heard Amy talking about earlier earlier, was arrested
(24:40):
in Burbank again. Wasn't it gosh last month or maybe
the month before where he was arrested with someone and
he made a big stink about how he was. You know,
what's the word I'm looking for when you.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
When you drugs, drug trafficking, drug use.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Uh, it'll come to me. It's Friday. I'm a little slow.
But it unfolded on Monday around eight thirty pm in
a parking instruction Burbank's downtown area, which is lovely. And
I guess you and a woman were leaving a nearby
restaurant and they appeared to be under the influence and
not alert. The officers, you know, located them and reportedly
(25:25):
found some xanax and you know, other paraphernalia on them,
and he was arrested.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No, you know, he's seventy years old, and you know
by the time you're seventy's, isn't it time to stop
using drugs?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
You tell us.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, Oh, good point, very good point.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, but he you know, last time he was like
referring to the Caucasian officer and all that. Oh yah, yeah,
so it's uh.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
He was targeted. He was a Yeah, of course xanax.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I can see that is that I think xanix and
even if so, even if a doctor doesn't prescribe it,
I can see xanix heroin a little tougher.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, that's that's rough.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
This girl has moves. A ten year old British girl
made chess history. She's the youngest girl to ether ever
beat so called chess grandmaster. Her name is Bodonna Vivananden.
She's from Northwest London. She beat sixty year old grandmaster
Pete Wells in the final round of the twenty twenty
(26:45):
five British Chess Championships in Liverpool. Her dad told to
beat BBC that nobody in their family had previously excelled
at chess, but she got into it during the pandemic
when she was five.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Ten year olds can do that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
They are prodigies, music prodigies, math prodigies, in this case,
a chess prodigy. How come we've never seen a ten
year old have the fastest hundred one hundred yard dash.
That would be impressive, don't you think.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well, you know, there are theories that kids are a
genius is judged based on troubleshooting, problem solving. That's like
mensa all that is all based on problem solving. And
they said kids are naturally geniuses when they're born, and
that we ugeniusfy them by complicating how they see the world,
(27:41):
but ultimately young kids are problem solvers.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, that's actually a very good point.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
My goddaughter who had a degree in chemistry from London University,
which is just a hair below Oxford and Cambridge, and
would have gone into either one, but she was sick
at the interviews. Okay, so with that, so she wasn't
going to go into chemistry, And I said, when you
(28:08):
have job interviews, how does a chemistry degree help you
as opposed to a business degree, as opposed to computer
science degree. And she said, exactly what you said. It's
all it's what it is is problem solving. That's it.
That is where it is at and everything is problem solving.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
And she got a great job.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Great job, she's sweeping floors.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Same with logic. It's all problem solving. Lastly, some sad
news for the Bezos family, and that is is it Bezos? Right? Yes, Bezos? Okay,
because handle says Bezos and then the screen.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I know and I mispronounced it is Bezos.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It's all right, you know those maga people. Anyways, the
mother of tech pioneer Jeff Bezos is you know. She
passed away at the age of seventy eight, which for
me seems young. I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Seventy eight yeah today today's but she had a brain
disorder on like Alzheimer's, but I think worse because there's a.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Bunch of these diseases where.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Yeah, it's I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, no, I know someone whose dad has one of those,
where has just been put into a facility that is worse.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He was described to me as Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
He has Alzheimer's squared, I MEI, there are diseases that
are even worse than Alzheimer's. Dementia happens quicker, you die quicker,
and so that's a shame.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, and she I guess was the had her own
organization philanthropic or organization called the Bezos Family Foundation.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, okay, guys, we are done. KF I am sixty.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.

That's coming up at age thirty. So that was a
good morning to Neil Cono, Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You always wear pretty much the same outfit.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Do you sleep and shower in that outfit with the
hat and the sweatshirt?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I want to call it an outfit. It's just what.
It's just clothes.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Sometimes I have a shirt. Sometimes it's flannel. Today it's
a sweatshirt. Because I didn't want to look for clothes.
M just know if it's black, people were black.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I just in general seen you with your hat off once?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
What, yeah, special occasions, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes it was Amy. Good morning, Hi Bill. How are
you good. You're wearing a steamboat Willy shirt.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Well, he's Mickey Mouse with his cool leopard pants on.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
No, but it's the steamboat Willie. It's the earliest Disney
classic Willie.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Pardon classic Mickey.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, classic Mickey. All right, will good morning, and I
can't hear you. You may want to put your microphone on.
I understand you're doing a great impression of Helen Keller,
but this is radio. Okay, he's trying. Threw his hands
(02:19):
up in the air because our equipment fifty five years old.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Actually this one's kind of new.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But yeah, I had the wrong thing, pushed my fault. Okay,
very low on the volume.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That okay, there we go.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
No, you're still low on the volume. I can't be
any higher.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Okay, all kinds of technical fund this morning, and and good.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
See there you go, and you have your san diego.
Let's go, Padre Yay, Okay, A couple of things I
want to share with you which I have not yet shared.
Pageant of the Masters every summer my friend DD who
is or D who is the director of it, And.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
This year is spectacularly good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And I think it's going on for another two three weeks.
And boy is it well worth going. Tickets are very
reasonably priced and there is no bad seat in the house.
So I'm going to suggest if you want a great evening,
and I mean a unique evening, there's nothing in the world. Seriously,
there's nothing in the world like the pageant. Just look
(03:34):
up Pageant of the Masters. Okay, so much for that.
What else is going on? Well, the President is on
his way to Alaska.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Has he landed there yet?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
No, it's a seven hour flight. He took off maybe
an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Okay, quite an hour ago.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, And I understand the cease for the president aren't bad.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They're business class.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Aren't they a little bit better than that?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I think you're absolutely right. So we'll be talking about
that today. We've got special election coming up in November,
and I'll talk.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
A lot about that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And oh, Costco news, how unusual? And when was I
last at Costco?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Good god, I'm trying to remember. You know, it has
been such a long Yesterday, I was at Costco. It's
not my therapy, you know, after my therapist fired me,
and she did, she absolutely straight out fired me. She said,
there is nothing I can do for you, Bill, you
are fired. So I had to figure out some other therapy.
(04:43):
And I found out the best therapy for me in
the world is going to Costco and just walking around
and seeing where things are and picking up some stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
And I'm now getting to the point.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Where I buy Costco goods for less than two hundred
dollars ago, which never used to happen before.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
How much was therapy?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh good God to fifty an hour?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So you're saying, no, therapy is pricey. Now, therapy is pricy.
I know my wife, no, no, she let me tell you.
She has a her credentials are amazing, phenomenal degree from
junior college. But she's one of the few therapists who
could actually get her degree from junior college. Your wife
(05:30):
is a therapist neil us junior college also no USC
and a master's degree also, yes, is necessarily Okay?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You guys ready to do this? Yep, Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's time for handle on the news on this Friday
Morning and more, and we start with plenty of It
with Amy Neil and me lead story. Well, I'm going
to just do the headlines on this one because coming
up at seven twenty, I'm going to really dive into
the story. But it looks like California is going forward
(06:13):
with the redistricting vote to counter what Texas has done,
and that is a redistrict the congressional district in Texas
to gain five seats in Congress and California is going
tit for tat toe to toe, and the fight is incredible.
(06:35):
The Republicans are screaming how illegal it is for California
to do this, while it's perfectly okay for Texas to
do this. It is hilarious. The hypocrisy is stunning. And
I'll do that at seven twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
That's all you have to say on that, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So I have to say because I'm really going to
expand it at seven twenty, okay, And it has to
do with a special election and canad happened and why
it's happening and the fight that's going on. So there's
a lot and the special election, why it's you know,
when it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Is it going to happen? So we'll move that on
to that one.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
At seven twenty Okay, the governor's event got iced. Governor
Newsom of course, was announcing his plans to hold that
special election yesterday and outside at the Japanese American National
Museum in downtown LA Border Patrol showed up and did
(07:34):
did a little immigration enforcement detain one person. They're denying
that it had anything to do with the governor's event.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, because it was at the Japanese Cultural Center. Historically
interesting because that is the very spot where the Japanese
were thrown onto buses to be interred in various in
tournament camps across Western United States, Man's and R being
the most famous one here in California. And all of
(08:02):
a sudden, Border Patrol shows up. But the head of
Border Patrol, the chief of this section, Gregory Bovino, said, oh, no, no, no,
we have nothing to do with Newsom's call.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It is completely coincidental.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, you know why it's so ham handed when they
do stuff like this, And how do they do this
with a straight face? Oh, they don't have to show
a straight face because their faces are masked.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Alrighty, this is a sad story. You had a day
laborer who was killed during a home depot immigration raid
in Monrovia, so it's normal they gather there. The day
laborers gather there about eight eight am or so every
single day, and this day was similar, except someone started
(09:01):
yelling in Spanish immigration run and all the workers scrambled.
One person fled from the hardware store running on foot,
obviously didn't get into a car, jumped concrete wall, entered
the eastbound two ten freeway, where he was hit by
a vehicle, taken to the hospital, and he did not
(09:24):
survive his injuries.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, that is a heartbreaking story.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
All you want to get a group going, all you
have to do is say la migra core immigration running,
and that is I mean, can you imagine the panic
where you jump onto a freeway and try to run
across it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, you know, the thing to me that is so
sad is that they are just as unprotected in Los
Angeles as the homeless. And you've got the left thinking
they're doing right by these people, and they're not. They're
you know, they claim a sanctuary city, but it's not
a sanctuary. There's still laws. So they're totally unprotected.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
And you know, protection, you know, depends on how you
determine or how you define protection.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
In the sanctuary city, it doesn't it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's called the sanctuary city, but it's not sanctuary, the
biblical sanctuary the way we know it. You run into
a house of worship and you grab the horns of
the bull.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's a sanctuary city.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The way it's defined that local authorities will not cooperate
with the FEDS. Local authorities will fund centers that help
these people, uh, the illegal migrants legally will give them
in the case of schools, for example, give them packets,
Tell them here the lawyers are going to help you.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Here are safe zones. That is the definition of sanctuary.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
But you're right traditional it's traditionally speaking, the definition sanctuary
is it is not a sanctuary. You are right, definitionally,
so we have to look up sanctuary.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
The former first son has two words for the First
Lady f that That was his response to First Lady
Milania Trump threatening to sue him for a billion dollars
in damages because of comments he made that linked her
to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently he said, I
(11:35):
think that Epstein might have introduced Trump and Millennia, And
he said, if that not apologizing, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know, that's a billion dollars in damages.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
My shocker is it's not twenty billion dollars in damages.
I love lawsuits that have these kinds of figures. I mean,
come on, where's the credibility ask for real damages?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
What are they? Who they?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Hell knows but a billion, two billion, five billion?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Okay? And by the way, what's the allegation.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That she introduced Epstein to or yeah, she introduced Epstein
to her husband?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
No, that Epstein introduced to Trump and Malania to each other.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Okay, So there's worth a billion dollars in damages, right, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
All right. Bondie is clarifying a little bit about the
chain of command in d C right now. She came out,
pam Bondi. Of course, the US Attorney General named Terry Cole,
the head of the DEA as DC's what they're referring
to as Emergency Police Commissioner, which means that the chief
(12:52):
of Police, Pamela Smith will be answering to him, and
that it's the current chain of command. This will go
on obviously as long as Donald Trump as president. Well
doesn't he have like thirty days.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, but he's going to get Congress.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
But Congress has to vote to extend it, in which
it of course it will. And this is kind of
interesting because it's the only place in the country where
the president has the right to federalize the local police department.
Is effective what he did, and no other state, no
other city, can he do that.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
But DC is an outlier. As we all know.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It's not a state, it's a city. It's an autonomous city.
Except it's not the It was just reported by I
think it was BBC or CNN. As I'm looking at
both that the chief of police, the current chief of police,
it says, I don't have to listen to Pam Bondi
or report to this new Terry Cole, who is the
(13:56):
interim chief of police according to the Justice Department.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I think he does. I think I think she does. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Obama's backing his boys and girls. The former president joined
a virtual meeting with Texas House Democrats who left the
state to stop a vote on redistricting. He cheered on
their efforts and stress that their work comes at a
critical time in the fight against partisan jerry mandering. He said,
I want all of you to be returning feeling invigorated,
(14:29):
and know that you've helped to lead what is going
to be a long struggle. It's not going to be
resolved right away, and it's going to require ultimately the
American people understanding the stakes and realizing we cannot take
our freedoms and democracy for granted.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What makes this story interesting is former presidents traditionally stay
the hell out of politics.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Just state.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To this extent, it is unprecedented.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yes, you had George w just complet completely follow that tradition.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Oh yeah, he started.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Ronald Reagan followed that tradition.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Ronald Reagan, on the other hand, went to Japan and
got two million dollars for a speech, which is not
a bad gig, but stayed out of politics. And now
Obama feels so strongly about what's going on, He's jumping
and jumping right in and he is by far the
most popular Democrat that exists in the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All Right, the DOO So today, the Dow is on
pace to hit its first record high of the year.
Optimism is behind this Wall Street. Strangely enough, a lot
of turbulence going on financially, but things look good. Dall
fires were hired.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Was that the total contradiction because you look at the
tariffs and prices are going up. There's no question they
are going to be more expensive for Americans, There's no
question about that. But longer term, the president with the
terrorist saying we're gonna move jobs and manufacturing in the
United States, and you would think based on that the Dow.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Would be down. It's it's up.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Corporate earnings are strong, Investor enthusiasm is strong, particularly about AI.
Employment is good in certain fields. There are fields in
which you can't get a job, but for the most part,
employment is strong. It's it's almost contradictory. And as of
right now, it looks like a pretty big win for
(16:35):
the President in terms of where he has said we
are going to go.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
That's because that's we're going in that direction.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'm gonna let this one stand. The Supreme Court has
declined to block for now law in Mississippi that imposes
age verification and parental consent requirements on social media sites.
So net choice represents Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, x YouTube and
other sites. It had asked the Supreme Court to intervene
(17:07):
after an appeals court said that Mississippi could enforce its
law while the courts decided whether it's constitutional. Justice Britt
Kavanaugh wrote that while Mississippi law, the Mississippi law is
likely unconstitutional, Net Choice didn't show that letting it be
enforced during the legal challenge is sufficiently harmful.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
So this is one of those you didn't make a decision, really.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, this is one of those quote technical arguments and decisions.
The decision is we're going to not make a decision
because the plaintiffs have not shown that they have been damaged.
Plaintiffs being all of these major tech companies, the major platforms,
(17:51):
and so it's the only difference is okay, the law.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Either we're going to put it on hold or we're
going to let.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It go forward until we decide, and they're going effectively.
What the court said is you you better, you better
find someone who's been damaged by this, and then we'll
hear the case.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
All right, So be careful what you asked chat GPT
see AI is not necessarily smarter than the person using it,
and this is unfortunate but there was a man who
went on chat GPT. He wanted to cut salt sodium
from his diet, so he asked what would replace or
(18:33):
what is an alternative to salt, and a sixty year
old guy the chat GPT suggested sodium bromide, which is
you know, used in pharmaceuticals manufacturing, but it's not something
you would take as a assault, you know, yeah, substitute.
So the guy got very sick. He started hallucinating. They
(18:57):
call it bromide toxicity or broke not broism, don't know,
but he had these neurological psychiatric symptoms rather acne, these
bumps on his skin, fatigue, all these things, and he
was hospitalized very for three months. He was doing this.
(19:18):
Take him genius.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Put put his name in ask GPT what this guy's
name is, and the word moron will appear somewhere in
his name.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Gonna come, couldna come back? Suka? I call him sucka.
But the thing is is that I don't know what
the prompt was. The doctors couldn't find the prompt on
his chat GPT conversation, so it might have just thought,
you mean for cleaning, you know, replacing salt for cleaning.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Probably the hells well, either that it was either wrong
or the AI is already trying to kill us.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh, very good, very good.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We're gonna do a story about that, by the way,
at seven fifty. Good segue for that.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
This could be a truly magical cruise. Princess Cruises has
unveiled new details about its latest version of Spellbound by
Magic Castle. Yes, the Magic Castle, a castle in la
has teamed up with Princess Cruises for an immersive, mystifying
experience found on the cruise line's newest ship, It's the
(20:24):
Star Princess, which will arrive in Florida on her maiden voyage.
Cruise guests will have a chance to experience the Magic
Castle at sea. It's modeled after a nineteen twenty theater
that hides a secret speakeasy and takes direct inspiration from
the Victorian mansion on Franklin Avenue. That is the Magic Castle.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That is seriously cool. If you're in the magic you
would do that. And as it pulls into port, you
have no is it really there? Now?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
You see it? Now you don't you really don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
You pull up to the dock and then it disappears.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It's correct, David Copperfield is going to make it completely disappear.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
That would be cool, all right, So more fun stuff
coming out of climate pollution. This time it's messing with
Earth's atmosphere and that is messing with GPS and satellites.
So there apparently is greater risk that is gonna, you know,
be exacerbated over the next couple decades or so that
(21:23):
solar triggered geomagnetic storms are going to start messing with
GPS and other satellite usages. And this is all because
of the volume of planet warming carbon dioxide from cow's buds.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Hey, I have a question, and maybe I'm wrong on this,
Amy correct me. I had read earlier this week someplace
that today certain satellites that deal with weather prediction, helping
the climatologists figure out what weather is like, are being decommissioned.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Is that story come up?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Word that I just is some Is this fake news
that I picked up somewhere I have not heard.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think it's then it's fake news.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Okay, then it's an anti Trump administration theory that's out there.
Don't we absolutely love the Internet.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Well, some older satellites are being decommissioned.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And Okay, so it's the way you interpret it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Now, the fact that they happen to be weather reading
satellites and they're just older, that may be a coincidence.
And I don't know the answer to that, because at
this point, no matter what side of the political spectrum
does anything, it's always an attack of some kind.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
It's always a political move.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
They have three specifically, or actually four that they've listed.
They were older, like one of them it had a failure,
so they shut it down. One had degraded their subsystems
and instruments weren't working.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They've been up there for years.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
All I'm saying is look at the way that can
be portrayed. It's a question of definition. It's a question
of how you describe what's happening. Like Neily all got
into the definition of a sanctuary city, what does that
actually mean?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I think we all agree on this show that older,
decrepit things that don't work anymore should be decommissioned.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh that's a good point. Oh you're talking about me? No, what, bastard? What?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
When they say people are acting like babies, they're not kidding.
Stressed out young adults in China are popping pacifiers in
their mouths to sue their weary souls. The Silicon southers
reportedly now big business on e commerce sites in China.
They're adult sized sold as sleep aids, stress relievers, and
(23:54):
even smoking cessation tools, and shoppers are suckers for the.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Passifiers, you know, adult pacifiers. I could do forty five
minutes on that alone. It is just why not you
walk around with a passifier in your mouth and people
take you very seriously?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You know that?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Well, boss Baby people respected him? Who boss Baby? The cartoon? Okay,
the Wonder Horse, nothing, okay right. Renowned comic actor Paul Rodriguez,
as you heard Amy talking about earlier earlier, was arrested
(24:40):
in Burbank again. Wasn't it gosh last month or maybe
the month before where he was arrested with someone and
he made a big stink about how he was. You know,
what's the word I'm looking for when you.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
When you drugs, drug trafficking, drug use.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Uh, it'll come to me. It's Friday. I'm a little slow.
But it unfolded on Monday around eight thirty pm in
a parking instruction Burbank's downtown area, which is lovely. And
I guess you and a woman were leaving a nearby
restaurant and they appeared to be under the influence and
not alert. The officers, you know, located them and reportedly
(25:25):
found some xanax and you know, other paraphernalia on them,
and he was arrested.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No, you know, he's seventy years old, and you know
by the time you're seventy's, isn't it time to stop
using drugs?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
You tell us.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, Oh, good point, very good point.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, but he you know, last time he was like
referring to the Caucasian officer and all that. Oh yah, yeah,
so it's uh.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
He was targeted. He was a Yeah, of course xanax.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I can see that is that I think xanix and
even if so, even if a doctor doesn't prescribe it,
I can see xanix heroin a little tougher.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, that's that's rough.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
This girl has moves. A ten year old British girl
made chess history. She's the youngest girl to ether ever
beat so called chess grandmaster. Her name is Bodonna Vivananden.
She's from Northwest London. She beat sixty year old grandmaster
Pete Wells in the final round of the twenty twenty
(26:45):
five British Chess Championships in Liverpool. Her dad told to
beat BBC that nobody in their family had previously excelled
at chess, but she got into it during the pandemic
when she was five.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Ten year olds can do that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
They are prodigies, music prodigies, math prodigies, in this case,
a chess prodigy. How come we've never seen a ten
year old have the fastest hundred one hundred yard dash.
That would be impressive, don't you think.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well, you know, there are theories that kids are a
genius is judged based on troubleshooting, problem solving. That's like
mensa all that is all based on problem solving. And
they said kids are naturally geniuses when they're born, and
that we ugeniusfy them by complicating how they see the world,
(27:41):
but ultimately young kids are problem solvers.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, that's actually a very good point.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
My goddaughter who had a degree in chemistry from London University,
which is just a hair below Oxford and Cambridge, and
would have gone into either one, but she was sick
at the interviews. Okay, so with that, so she wasn't
going to go into chemistry, And I said, when you
(28:08):
have job interviews, how does a chemistry degree help you
as opposed to a business degree, as opposed to computer
science degree. And she said, exactly what you said. It's
all it's what it is is problem solving. That's it.
That is where it is at and everything is problem solving.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
And she got a great job.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Great job, she's sweeping floors.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Same with logic. It's all problem solving. Lastly, some sad
news for the Bezos family, and that is is it Bezos? Right? Yes, Bezos? Okay,
because handle says Bezos and then the screen.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I know and I mispronounced it is Bezos.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It's all right, you know those maga people. Anyways, the
mother of tech pioneer Jeff Bezos is you know. She
passed away at the age of seventy eight, which for
me seems young. I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Seventy eight yeah today today's but she had a brain
disorder on like Alzheimer's, but I think worse because there's a.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Bunch of these diseases where.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Yeah, it's I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, no, I know someone whose dad has one of those,
where has just been put into a facility that is worse.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He was described to me as Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
He has Alzheimer's squared, I MEI, there are diseases that
are even worse than Alzheimer's. Dementia happens quicker, you die quicker,
and so that's a shame.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, and she I guess was the had her own
organization philanthropic or organization called the Bezos Family Foundation.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, okay, guys, we are done. KF I am sixty.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
