last time I fished with my dad? We were fishing

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, it was worms. He's dead. He's in the ground. Okay.
Uh and good morning, good morning Bill. There you go.
And Neil is not here. Uh he is filling in

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Okay, it's that summer because people are going on vacation.
Everybody bounces around. But Will coletriber is Will?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
What Will? What does I say on your T shirt?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's some kind of mustard ballpark mustard.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Oh that's sweet. And by the way, those extra tight
tight T shirts really do it for.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Or you know that they're not that well, they didn't
used to be this tight.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I think, yeah, it's you know, yeah, it's a it
slims you Yeah, the only thing missing? Or the horizontal
stripes wow? No, yeah, horizontal never mind?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, all right? Uh so what is going on? All right? Hot? No, Neil?
What else?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Do we have the date where Neil and I are
doing this broadcast? It is the next couple of weeks.
I think.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Whatever they held that is September something. When Neil comes
back because I'm joining him on the broadcast. We're gonna
do wild Fork at one of the wild Fork stores.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think this September sixth, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know, is it?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm really bad at dates. In any case, you can
look it up someplace. I have no idea where you
can even look it up, but love to have you there.
And it's unlike the contest that we're having at the
Anaheim White House Restaurant for Zelman's. That one you have
(04:05):
to enter, but you enter by buying stuff, mainly Zelmans,
and you're automatically entered.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That one.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Five winners, the one where we are broadcasting at wild Fork.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Everybody is a winner. Who shows up? Okay you guys
ready to do it? Yes? And how are you?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Amy?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
There you go very happy.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The nice yeah yeah. Friday is always fun. By the way,
when I asked how you were, did I sound in
the least interested?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
You actually did?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Wow, I'm good, aren't I? Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Damn right?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
All right, guys, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It's time for a handle on the news with Amy
O'Neil and me lead.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Story shut down.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
No surprise here the legislation calling for that special election
in November here in California for the congressional district districts
to be redrawn. Have this in fact pass. There will
be a special election costing two hundred million dollars, which
is controversial in and of itself, and we are we
(05:20):
Californians are going to decide whether or not the we're
going to redistrict new congressional districts actually bouncing some Republicans
and making some new ones in direct response to what
was happening in what did happen in Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm going to cover more on that, and I boy,
I love this.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
The people that are against this are coming up with
more stuff than you could ever imagine. You know what
the analogy is here, When Kamala Harris was running for president,
she she got it by default after Joe Biden completely
forgot what his name was and the people there were
Republicans that were saying this was illegal. She didn't go
(06:03):
through the primary process. We want the court to say
this is invalid. And I guess no candidate based on
the Republican So I'll tell you what's happening with what
the Republicans are doing this time around.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Okay, that's a seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Denied.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Eric Menendez will not be released. He had his first
appearance before a state parole board yesterday to plead his
case on why he should be let out of prison
after serving thirty five years for brutally murdering his parents
at their home in Beverly Hills, and after a nearly
all day meeting, the parole board said nope. We don't
(06:50):
think you're ready to be released. He can try again
in three years, and then Lyle gets his appearance before
the parole board today.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, if Eric didn't get it, I don't know how
Wyle is going to get it. Because Lyle was the
leader of the two of them. And I was surprised.
I thought he was going to I thought the pro
boar is going to say yes on this one, and
then later on knewsoon was going to say no for
strictly political purposes because governors cannot release anybody anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
There's too many anti crime or the perception of anti
crime out there, and part of that is parole. I'm
kind of surprised.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And they brought up stuff like cell phone and he said, yeah,
I use cell phones because I was never going to
get out and the downside was less for me than
getting caught. Also drug alcohol use, this is in prison
fights with other inmates. That he helped a prison gang
(07:49):
and at tax fraud scam and that he was part
of a gang, and he said I had to be
for protection. Frankly, I am surprised he didn't get in
a ok from the prole ward amy, which way do
you think he was going to go.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
With all the attention that it's gotten, I had thought
that possibly that I was thinking that they were probably
going to recommend he'd be released. But he still he
still has an opportunity for clemency from from Uh. Oh,
that's not gonna that's not gonna happen because he's the president.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, because can you imagine the optics, the pro criminal
optics that would happen. No, No, there's no way he
can take a chance. He would offend more people that
are anti crime and conservative in the crime world than
he would.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Releasing him. There's just no chance.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
A judge is taking a bite out of Alligator Alcatraz
expansion plans. Huh yeah, Okay, So Alligator Alcatraz in Florida
is holding illegal immigrants as a detention facility, but a
federal judge said that they didn't really look at environmental
impact of what would happen when they built this facility
(09:07):
before building it. So the people who are there now
can stay, but they can't expand it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, and I talked about this.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That would not only the argument that those that are
incarcerated in turn there are not getting due processed, they're
not even allowed to have lawyers.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That was one of the.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Arguments, and the other one was jurisdiction, because Florida says
it's operating it under agreements between state and local agencies
and ICE. However, ICE is said that the state is
in charge, so no one really knows who do you
file against. And that was one of the issues that
(09:47):
they're bringing up. It really is sort of a cluster
truck going on here. All right, let's take a break.
We'll come back with more handle on the news.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Can't buy handle.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Here is a Friday morning, August twenty two hot Friday morning,
August twenty two, a.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Heat spell upon us.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I think, is this the first hot spell that we've
had this year, amy, or we've gone through a few
of them.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Forecasters are saying it's the most extreme of the year.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, yeah, it's not that bad.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I mean, it's it's one hundred and ten in some areas,
but it's not as bad as I've seen.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah. No, we've seen some really nuts.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
One Woodland Hills, where my daughter lives, probably the hottest
place in the valley, which is probably the hottest place
in Los Angeles in that area when I go visit.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
There, that's hot.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh, I'm going to be doing a story later on
at seven point thirty about one of the favorite places
in the summer to go to in terms of well,
let's say even resorts, but vacation places, Death Valley. A
million people a year go to Death Valley, two hundred
(11:01):
and fifty thousand in the summer. I'm going to do
that story. Yeah, well, you're looking like they're nuts. Absolutely,
they are crazy. Got some great stories to share with you.
Now the people will not be listening to those great
stories because they're dead.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But it's still a great story, all right. Moving on,
more handle on the news, Amy O'Neill me.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Taking the DC Show on the road. President Trump says
he's going to expand the law enforcement and National Guard
crackdown that has been ordered for Washington, d C. He
appeared at a US park Police facility with some law
enforcement agents national Guard members yesterday. He said, we're going
to make it safe and then we're going to go
(11:47):
to other places, but we're going to stay here for
a while. And he's referring to the federal government takeover
of DC Metro and also ordering National Guard troops to
patrol around DC.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I wonder how much of that is him really believing
that DC is out of control in light of the statistics,
and or this is simply for political purposes, or both,
and in what percentage. But since it works among his
(12:22):
supporters in his base, he is now going to take,
as you said, take this on the road to other cities.
And here is southern California. It's going to be kind
of interesting. Our gardener that we have, yeah, I know,
I don't mow my own want I have a gardener's
We had some issues because he wasn't doing the job
(12:45):
that we wanted him to do. What he said, I've
lost most of my people. That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, check it before you smoke it.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So there's a lot of illegal marijuana growing operations around
in one of those places is up in Sequoia National
Park and a marijuana farm has been busted by the
National Park Service, removing nearly twenty four hundred marijuana plants
in about two thousand pounds of trash from a thirteen
(13:21):
acre illegal grow site that they say had toxic chemicals.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And that's one of the problems.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
All these illegal growths aren't regulated, so they can kind
of dump whatever they want onto the growing cannabis plants.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, been at this for what a decade is what
the National Park Service has said, trying to hit these
various illegal growth farms. They really do ruin the environment
big time. And you have the giant redwoods in the
Sequoia trees. Have you been up there? They are utterly magnificent.
(13:57):
I mean they're incredible. They go up to two hundred feet.
But you know, the other side, the other argument is
that the illegal cannabis is the only thing that will
actually make them grow higher.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Let me repeat that. Okay, yeah, fine, that's great.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
More moving out than moving in.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
For the first time in fifty years, more immigrants have
left the US than have arrived in the US. The
Pew Research Center released some numbers census data from January
to June, the US's foreign born population had declined by
more than a million people. The numbers also show that
in twenty twenty three, California was home to eleven point
(14:39):
three million immigrants, which is about twenty eight point four
percent of the national total.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You know, I've always had a question about this because
there are two ways of looking at illegal migrants. One
they cost us a ton of money, and where they
do cost money is education. They do because the schools
cannot ask if a kid is illegal or not. Also medical,
but only in the emergency room, because an emergency room
(15:09):
can't say no.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Other than that.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
They pay taxes, they pay Social Security, which you'll never
get back. They just pay into the system. They work,
they buy things. And one of the arguments is they're
taking our jobs. Well, I don't know about that. I
don't know how many illegal migrants are taking jobs. I
really don't. I would think not a huge not a
(15:35):
huge number. I mean, I have yet to meet someone
who's Caucasian or black or other that Hispanic wakes up
in the morning to pick strawberries. They just we white people,
we black people. We insert name of ethnic group here
other than Latino. And I'm talking about poor Latinos, non
(15:57):
skilled Latinos who come over the border illegally.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's really two sides of the coin.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I think we actually make money on the illegal migrants,
where there is a positive. But again, the optics, the optics,
the political optics of this. Okay, coming back, some horrific news,
no surprise at all.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty can if I.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Handle here on a very hot Friday, August twenty two,
another seat wave has hit us, and no surprise, and
I'm probably gonna get more because climate change doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Remember that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Now, let's move on with more. Handle on the news,
Amy no'neil today and me well.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It's official. It's a famine. Famine has been officially declared
in part of northern Gaza, including Gaza City, by the
world's leading authority on hunger. Israel military, meantime, is preparing
to push a d with a new operation to seize
Gaza City that could displace hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
and make the dire situation there even worse.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
This is insanity on both sides.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
The Israeli government through Netagyat, who says there is no famine.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, really look at the video.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
How many independent sources who are there, volunteer doctors, volunteer NGOs,
non governmental organizations that are their humanitarian organizations, all are
saying famine is causing death.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Nope, not true. As far as the military is concerned,
then you have hamas.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Nope, we're not giving back the hostages until the war stops.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Then you have a war.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Cabinet on the Israeli side, where you have members of
the war cabinet now saying Palestinians should not even be
in Gaza or any other part of what they consider Israel.
The entrand, the intransendent, the intransendents, exactly, the intransigents.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Uh is I know, I make a living with the
word the words you're trying to say in transendent.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
In you know, God in any case, Uh, they're not
moving on either side, and it is just god awful.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
The is the Israeli and they're ready to go. I mean,
they're massing and they're going to completely take over. They're
going to occupy Gaza City and occupy all of Gaza.
And you've got Hamas doesn't care if every single Palestinian
ends up dying.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Uh, as long as they stay in power. Where do
you go from there? Where do you go?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I'm curious to how much Hamas has been devastated, taken out.
You know, they they're still there, their leadership. They've taken
out leadership, but they're still there.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Not only are they still there, they're claiming and I
believe it that there are more volunteers that are joining
Hamas then they have lost and they do fine. Hamas
does great. They eat and you know where they go
they do. They have their own bomb shelters, and those
(19:14):
are the tunnels underneath virtually all of Gaza. Does the
population have bomb shelters? Absolutely not Israel. Everybody has a
bomb shelter. You cannot build a building in Israel without
a bomb shelter. It can't be done either. Private homes,
governmental organizations, governmental buildings, private corporate buildings, private small businesses
(19:40):
all have bomb shelters.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Boy, life is fair, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
In the meantime, you have these poor Palestinians starving to death,
as well as being killed and wounded grievously by Israeli fire.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And no one is going to sit down at the
table right now.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Who is here anyway? Well, the Trump administration says it
wants to know. So it's reviewing more than fifty five
million people.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
How can that be right?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Who have a valid US visa for They're looking for
violations that could lead to deportations. It's part of the
crackdown on foreigners who are allowed in the US. The
State Department said. All US visa holders, which can include
tourists from many countries are subject to continuous vetting with
an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible
(20:33):
to be in the US, and if that information is found,
the visa will be revoked.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Fifty five million, that's all.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
How can that be possible?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It isn't. It isn't.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
For example, Donald Trump, when he was campaigning, said eleven
million illegal migrants, which is very low. By the way,
that figures probably far higher, will be deported eleven million
as soon as he gets into office. I wanted the
bus franchise personally. I mean, I love the idea of
transporting eleven million people over the border. That's you know,
(21:06):
how good a business would that be. Here's the problem
is that we're probably going to talk about that later.
Anybody that, for example, posts anti American, anti anti Semitic,
pro commas, pro terrorists if you want to call whatever
group is a terrorist. Some are posting just pro Palestinian posts.
(21:31):
AI can see all of that. AI can see every
single post. So it's a lot easier. Did you know
that every single cell conversation in this country is recorded.
Everyone The NSA, national Security Agency picks everyone up and
(21:54):
then their algorithm go through and if you say things.
You know, pressure cookers. Time you're on the list. If
you're a movie reviewer and use the word the movie's
a bomb enough times, you're on the list.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Okay, keeping things undercover In spite of court orders, Uvaldi
school district officials are apparently withholding documents about classroom security
and a payout to the police chief who was fired,
even though a court ordered those documents to be released.
In the wake of the May twenty two massacre at
(22:34):
rob Elementary School, CNN apparently got its hands on some
of the emails that hadn't been seen before. In one
of them, the principal warned that classroom doors frequently could
not or were not locked, nine months before the guy
walked in through an unlocked door and open fire, killing
nineteen students and two teachers.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, I'm not surprised about the lack of security. And
the screw up me is the police chief got a
settlement after he was fired. He walked away with money,
and we don't know how much, because of course we'll
have the school board will not release those figures or
(23:16):
those emails or posts or correspondence.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I mean, wow, I find that a little stunning, don't
you think so?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
District officials were asking for a settlement offer from his lawyers,
tell us how much money you want, and then negotiations.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Happen, and that they won't turn over the documents.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yes. On top of that, AOL officials are like, oh,
what are you talking about? At what point does the
board get thrown out? Just gone and a new board
gets put in? All right, we're gonna come back and
we'll finish it out. Pandle on the news on this
very hot Friday, August twenty two. It's KFI handle here
on hey Friday morning. I would say foody Friday, but
(24:03):
Neil was not here, so we're gonna have a non
foody Friday. Although at eight thirty we still will do
ask handle anything, which we do Friday at eight thirty
where I answer your ridiculous questions with ridiculous answers. Let's
finish up by handle on the news, Amy O'Neil today
and me.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Cuts are common. The Supreme Court has ruled to allow
the Trump administration's cuts to the National Institutes of Health's
grants as part of the federal government's campaign against diversity,
equity and inclusion policies, but it was a mixed decision
in the court left in place a different part of
(24:45):
a lower court judge's ruling, which makes it unclear whether
it's going to be able to actually make those cuts
moving forward.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
A little bit confusing.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, I can see the argument against THEI.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
As far as the anti DEI people are concerned, I
understand that there is a political point.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
That they have, even though I disagree with it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
But I mean cuts to the NIH, cuts to the
CDC when we're talking about organizations, when we're talking about
studies that save people's lives. Man, I don't get that.
I really don't usaid where kids are genuinely going to
starve because we're not giving food out. Remember the big
(25:32):
deal about condoms that the Trump administration had said fifty
million dollars worth of condoms and it was one hundred
million dollars of condoms that were released or that we're
given out in Africa, And look how ridiculous that is.
It all had to do with age prevention. That's what
that was about. And they certainly don't go that far.
(25:54):
So in any case, you're going to see a lot
lot more than that. Here is a fun story. It
happened to be in studio City in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Well, the naked cowboy isn't only in New York City.
You know that guy, yeah Times Square with his underwear
and cowboy boots and plays music. Well, rapper Lil nas
X was spotted roaming down venture A boulevard and studio
City early on Yesterday morning, wearing just his undies and
matching cowboy boots. They did pick him up and arrested
(26:27):
him and took him to the hospital to check out
whether he was suffering from an overdose. He apparently lunged
at police officers when they arrived on the scene to
check it out.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
That's not indecent exposure.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Why can't you use It's underwear exposure.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, it's underwear exposure. What you can now wear? What
do you get to wear?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
All kinds of bathing suits that are really tight. You
know those speedos that people wear. Those are legal and
you can see like every little bump on a scroll.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
But he didn't get he didn't get arrested for what
he was wearing or not wearing. He got arrested because
he apparently went after the officers.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
When I think, and they didn't put him to jail.
They took him to some facility. I think also he
was putting an orange traffic cone on his head.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You know that's that says something, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah, he was arrested though, mm yeah, for battery and
a police officer. Okay, Uh, flying into the eye of
the storm. I'm glad I wasn't on this flight. A
Spirit Airlines flight from Philadelphia to San Juan appeared to
have flown directly through the path of Hurricane Erin. The
airline Spirit Airlines is insisting the course was completely safe.
(27:51):
Safety is already is always our top priority, said an
airline spokesperson. At the time, Hurricane Erin was a Category
four storm. They did get there, Okay, everybody's fine.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
But they don't even talk about a bumpy ride either
or insane surbulence.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Turbulence.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
So I've gone around storms before, I've had pilots. They're like, hey, yeah,
it's a little bit bumpy. We're going to go around
and you can look at the storm as you go
around it. Apparently they don't know which.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Way to go on that bed bathroom beyond stores.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Uh, it's a bust when it comes to California. So
they were in bankruptcy or they are in bankruptcy. They're
coming out and they're going to reopen three hundred stores
around the US. But California, according to the executive chairman
Marcus Lamonis, has created one of the most over regulated, expensive,
risky environments for businesses. He went on to say, it's
(28:46):
a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder
to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers.
So when it starts reopening those stores, none of them
are going to be in California.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Makes sense.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
And then the big news also In and Out moving
their headquarters I think to Tennessee. And In and Out
started in California in nineteen forty eight, and it has
become iconic here in southern California. Actually it's become iconic
in five states. They just open up in Washington. You know,
people were waiting all night to get a burger. The
(29:22):
wait was hours long. I mean, come on, I'm a
big fan, but at some point doesn't that get ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
If you're a fan of the Magic Mushroom, you may
be able to get your hands on it even easier.
The US Department of Health and Human Services is weighing
a petitioned sent earlier this month by the Drug Enforcement
Administration to review the scientific evidence and consider easing restrictions
on magic mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You ever done mushrooms? Nope? All right? And you ever
done mushrooms?
Speaker 4 (30:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Will you ever done mushrooms? That means yes, I have.
As a matter of fact, I've done everything, you know
in my life. I always the garbage can that I
would put anything into my body. And that's one of
the few drugs I couldn't stand. Magic mushrooms and they've
(30:27):
just I just got nauseous with it.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
It makes you really stick to your stomach. I've heard
yeah it does, yeah, And so I never got it.
All right. We are done with a Handle on the
news coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's the big story here in California, I mean a
massive political story, and that is we are going to
go to the polls in November to vote on whether
or not we're going we the legislature is going to
redistrict California to create more democratic districts.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
We'll talk about that when we return.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
This is kf I AM six forty. You're listening to
Bill Handle on demand from kf I AM six forty
You're listening to KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles

the baby and how does it get its nutrients?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
A hose? And now handle on the news Ladies and gentlemen,

Speaker 1 (01:33):
He doesn't care, and they still do it. It's a crutch.
I understand that. You know.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's a way to start a conversation. How are you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Okay, fine, I'm generally interested who and how you're doing.

Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I believe his his dad. Yeah, yeah, brothers.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No, that's sweet, that's sweet. When's the last when's the
last time I fished with my dad? We were fishing
for worms? Uh, not fish, we were fishing for fish bait. Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, it was worms. He's dead. He's in the ground. Okay.
Uh and good morning, good morning Bill. There you go.
And Neil is not here. Uh he is filling in
I think for Conway today. Do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Okay, it's that summer because people are going on vacation.
Everybody bounces around. But Will coletriber is Will?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
What Will? What does I say on your T shirt?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's some kind of mustard ballpark mustard.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Oh that's sweet. And by the way, those extra tight
tight T shirts really do it for.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Or you know that they're not that well, they didn't
used to be this tight.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I think, yeah, it's you know, yeah, it's a it
slims you Yeah, the only thing missing? Or the horizontal
stripes wow? No, yeah, horizontal never mind?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, all right? Uh so what is going on? All right? Hot? No, Neil?
What else?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Do we have the date where Neil and I are
doing this broadcast? It is the next couple of weeks.
I think.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Whatever they held that is September something. When Neil comes
back because I'm joining him on the broadcast. We're gonna
do wild Fork at one of the wild Fork stores.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think this September sixth, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know, is it?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm really bad at dates. In any case, you can
look it up someplace. I have no idea where you
can even look it up, but love to have you there.
And it's unlike the contest that we're having at the
Anaheim White House Restaurant for Zelman's. That one you have
(04:05):
to enter, but you enter by buying stuff, mainly Zelmans,
and you're automatically entered.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That one.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Five winners, the one where we are broadcasting at wild Fork.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Everybody is a winner. Who shows up? Okay you guys
ready to do it? Yes? And how are you?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Amy?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
There you go very happy.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The nice yeah yeah. Friday is always fun. By the way,
when I asked how you were, did I sound in
the least interested?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
You actually did?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Wow, I'm good, aren't I? Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Damn right?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
All right, guys, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It's time for a handle on the news with Amy
O'Neil and me lead.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Story shut down.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
No surprise here the legislation calling for that special election
in November here in California for the congressional district districts
to be redrawn. Have this in fact pass. There will
be a special election costing two hundred million dollars, which
is controversial in and of itself, and we are we
(05:20):
Californians are going to decide whether or not the we're
going to redistrict new congressional districts actually bouncing some Republicans
and making some new ones in direct response to what
was happening in what did happen in Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm going to cover more on that, and I boy,
I love this.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
The people that are against this are coming up with
more stuff than you could ever imagine. You know what
the analogy is here, When Kamala Harris was running for president,
she she got it by default after Joe Biden completely
forgot what his name was and the people there were
Republicans that were saying this was illegal. She didn't go
(06:03):
through the primary process. We want the court to say
this is invalid. And I guess no candidate based on
the Republican So I'll tell you what's happening with what
the Republicans are doing this time around.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Okay, that's a seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Denied.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Eric Menendez will not be released. He had his first
appearance before a state parole board yesterday to plead his
case on why he should be let out of prison
after serving thirty five years for brutally murdering his parents
at their home in Beverly Hills, and after a nearly
all day meeting, the parole board said nope. We don't
(06:50):
think you're ready to be released. He can try again
in three years, and then Lyle gets his appearance before
the parole board today.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, if Eric didn't get it, I don't know how
Wyle is going to get it. Because Lyle was the
leader of the two of them. And I was surprised.
I thought he was going to I thought the pro
boar is going to say yes on this one, and
then later on knewsoon was going to say no for
strictly political purposes because governors cannot release anybody anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
There's too many anti crime or the perception of anti
crime out there, and part of that is parole. I'm
kind of surprised.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And they brought up stuff like cell phone and he said, yeah,
I use cell phones because I was never going to
get out and the downside was less for me than
getting caught. Also drug alcohol use, this is in prison
fights with other inmates. That he helped a prison gang
(07:49):
and at tax fraud scam and that he was part
of a gang, and he said I had to be
for protection. Frankly, I am surprised he didn't get in
a ok from the prole ward amy, which way do
you think he was going to go.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
With all the attention that it's gotten, I had thought
that possibly that I was thinking that they were probably
going to recommend he'd be released. But he still he
still has an opportunity for clemency from from Uh. Oh,
that's not gonna that's not gonna happen because he's the president.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, because can you imagine the optics, the pro criminal
optics that would happen. No, No, there's no way he
can take a chance. He would offend more people that
are anti crime and conservative in the crime world than
he would.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Releasing him. There's just no chance.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
A judge is taking a bite out of Alligator Alcatraz
expansion plans. Huh yeah, Okay, So Alligator Alcatraz in Florida
is holding illegal immigrants as a detention facility, but a
federal judge said that they didn't really look at environmental
impact of what would happen when they built this facility
(09:07):
before building it. So the people who are there now
can stay, but they can't expand it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, and I talked about this.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That would not only the argument that those that are
incarcerated in turn there are not getting due processed, they're
not even allowed to have lawyers.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That was one of the.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Arguments, and the other one was jurisdiction, because Florida says
it's operating it under agreements between state and local agencies
and ICE. However, ICE is said that the state is
in charge, so no one really knows who do you
file against. And that was one of the issues that
(09:47):
they're bringing up. It really is sort of a cluster
truck going on here. All right, let's take a break.
We'll come back with more handle on the news.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Can't buy handle.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Here is a Friday morning, August twenty two hot Friday morning,
August twenty two, a.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Heat spell upon us.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I think, is this the first hot spell that we've
had this year, amy, or we've gone through a few
of them.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Forecasters are saying it's the most extreme of the year.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, yeah, it's not that bad.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I mean, it's it's one hundred and ten in some areas,
but it's not as bad as I've seen.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah. No, we've seen some really nuts.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
One Woodland Hills, where my daughter lives, probably the hottest
place in the valley, which is probably the hottest place
in Los Angeles in that area when I go visit.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
There, that's hot.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh, I'm going to be doing a story later on
at seven point thirty about one of the favorite places
in the summer to go to in terms of well,
let's say even resorts, but vacation places, Death Valley. A
million people a year go to Death Valley, two hundred
(11:01):
and fifty thousand in the summer. I'm going to do
that story. Yeah, well, you're looking like they're nuts. Absolutely,
they are crazy. Got some great stories to share with you.
Now the people will not be listening to those great
stories because they're dead.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But it's still a great story, all right. Moving on,
more handle on the news, Amy O'Neill me.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Taking the DC Show on the road. President Trump says
he's going to expand the law enforcement and National Guard
crackdown that has been ordered for Washington, d C. He
appeared at a US park Police facility with some law
enforcement agents national Guard members yesterday. He said, we're going
to make it safe and then we're going to go
(11:47):
to other places, but we're going to stay here for
a while. And he's referring to the federal government takeover
of DC Metro and also ordering National Guard troops to
patrol around DC.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I wonder how much of that is him really believing
that DC is out of control in light of the statistics,
and or this is simply for political purposes, or both,
and in what percentage. But since it works among his
(12:22):
supporters in his base, he is now going to take,
as you said, take this on the road to other cities.
And here is southern California. It's going to be kind
of interesting. Our gardener that we have, yeah, I know,
I don't mow my own want I have a gardener's
We had some issues because he wasn't doing the job
(12:45):
that we wanted him to do. What he said, I've
lost most of my people. That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, check it before you smoke it.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So there's a lot of illegal marijuana growing operations around
in one of those places is up in Sequoia National
Park and a marijuana farm has been busted by the
National Park Service, removing nearly twenty four hundred marijuana plants
in about two thousand pounds of trash from a thirteen
(13:21):
acre illegal grow site that they say had toxic chemicals.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And that's one of the problems.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
All these illegal growths aren't regulated, so they can kind
of dump whatever they want onto the growing cannabis plants.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, been at this for what a decade is what
the National Park Service has said, trying to hit these
various illegal growth farms. They really do ruin the environment
big time. And you have the giant redwoods in the
Sequoia trees. Have you been up there? They are utterly magnificent.
(13:57):
I mean they're incredible. They go up to two hundred feet.
But you know, the other side, the other argument is
that the illegal cannabis is the only thing that will
actually make them grow higher.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Let me repeat that. Okay, yeah, fine, that's great.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
More moving out than moving in.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
For the first time in fifty years, more immigrants have
left the US than have arrived in the US. The
Pew Research Center released some numbers census data from January
to June, the US's foreign born population had declined by
more than a million people. The numbers also show that
in twenty twenty three, California was home to eleven point
(14:39):
three million immigrants, which is about twenty eight point four
percent of the national total.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You know, I've always had a question about this because
there are two ways of looking at illegal migrants. One
they cost us a ton of money, and where they
do cost money is education. They do because the schools
cannot ask if a kid is illegal or not. Also medical,
but only in the emergency room, because an emergency room
(15:09):
can't say no.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Other than that.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
They pay taxes, they pay Social Security, which you'll never
get back. They just pay into the system. They work,
they buy things. And one of the arguments is they're
taking our jobs. Well, I don't know about that. I
don't know how many illegal migrants are taking jobs. I
really don't. I would think not a huge not a
(15:35):
huge number. I mean, I have yet to meet someone
who's Caucasian or black or other that Hispanic wakes up
in the morning to pick strawberries. They just we white people,
we black people. We insert name of ethnic group here
other than Latino. And I'm talking about poor Latinos, non
(15:57):
skilled Latinos who come over the border illegally.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's really two sides of the coin.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I think we actually make money on the illegal migrants,
where there is a positive. But again, the optics, the optics,
the political optics of this. Okay, coming back, some horrific news,
no surprise at all.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty can if I.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Handle here on a very hot Friday, August twenty two,
another seat wave has hit us, and no surprise, and
I'm probably gonna get more because climate change doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Remember that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Now, let's move on with more. Handle on the news,
Amy no'neil today and me well.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It's official. It's a famine. Famine has been officially declared
in part of northern Gaza, including Gaza City, by the
world's leading authority on hunger. Israel military, meantime, is preparing
to push a d with a new operation to seize
Gaza City that could displace hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
and make the dire situation there even worse.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
This is insanity on both sides.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
The Israeli government through Netagyat, who says there is no famine.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, really look at the video.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
How many independent sources who are there, volunteer doctors, volunteer NGOs,
non governmental organizations that are their humanitarian organizations, all are
saying famine is causing death.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Nope, not true. As far as the military is concerned,
then you have hamas.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Nope, we're not giving back the hostages until the war stops.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Then you have a war.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Cabinet on the Israeli side, where you have members of
the war cabinet now saying Palestinians should not even be
in Gaza or any other part of what they consider Israel.
The entrand, the intransendent, the intransendents, exactly, the intransigents.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Uh is I know, I make a living with the
word the words you're trying to say in transendent.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
In you know, God in any case, Uh, they're not
moving on either side, and it is just god awful.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
The is the Israeli and they're ready to go. I mean,
they're massing and they're going to completely take over. They're
going to occupy Gaza City and occupy all of Gaza.
And you've got Hamas doesn't care if every single Palestinian
ends up dying.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Uh, as long as they stay in power. Where do
you go from there? Where do you go?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I'm curious to how much Hamas has been devastated, taken out.
You know, they they're still there, their leadership. They've taken
out leadership, but they're still there.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Not only are they still there, they're claiming and I
believe it that there are more volunteers that are joining
Hamas then they have lost and they do fine. Hamas
does great. They eat and you know where they go
they do. They have their own bomb shelters, and those
(19:14):
are the tunnels underneath virtually all of Gaza. Does the
population have bomb shelters? Absolutely not Israel. Everybody has a
bomb shelter. You cannot build a building in Israel without
a bomb shelter. It can't be done either. Private homes,
governmental organizations, governmental buildings, private corporate buildings, private small businesses
(19:40):
all have bomb shelters.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Boy, life is fair, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
In the meantime, you have these poor Palestinians starving to death,
as well as being killed and wounded grievously by Israeli fire.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And no one is going to sit down at the
table right now.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Who is here anyway? Well, the Trump administration says it
wants to know. So it's reviewing more than fifty five
million people.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
How can that be right?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Who have a valid US visa for They're looking for
violations that could lead to deportations. It's part of the
crackdown on foreigners who are allowed in the US. The
State Department said. All US visa holders, which can include
tourists from many countries are subject to continuous vetting with
an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible
(20:33):
to be in the US, and if that information is found,
the visa will be revoked.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Fifty five million, that's all.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
How can that be possible?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It isn't. It isn't.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
For example, Donald Trump, when he was campaigning, said eleven
million illegal migrants, which is very low. By the way,
that figures probably far higher, will be deported eleven million
as soon as he gets into office. I wanted the
bus franchise personally. I mean, I love the idea of
transporting eleven million people over the border. That's you know,
(21:06):
how good a business would that be. Here's the problem
is that we're probably going to talk about that later.
Anybody that, for example, posts anti American, anti anti Semitic,
pro commas, pro terrorists if you want to call whatever
group is a terrorist. Some are posting just pro Palestinian posts.
(21:31):
AI can see all of that. AI can see every
single post. So it's a lot easier. Did you know
that every single cell conversation in this country is recorded.
Everyone The NSA, national Security Agency picks everyone up and
(21:54):
then their algorithm go through and if you say things.
You know, pressure cookers. Time you're on the list. If
you're a movie reviewer and use the word the movie's
a bomb enough times, you're on the list.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Okay, keeping things undercover In spite of court orders, Uvaldi
school district officials are apparently withholding documents about classroom security
and a payout to the police chief who was fired,
even though a court ordered those documents to be released.
In the wake of the May twenty two massacre at
(22:34):
rob Elementary School, CNN apparently got its hands on some
of the emails that hadn't been seen before. In one
of them, the principal warned that classroom doors frequently could
not or were not locked, nine months before the guy
walked in through an unlocked door and open fire, killing
nineteen students and two teachers.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, I'm not surprised about the lack of security. And
the screw up me is the police chief got a
settlement after he was fired. He walked away with money,
and we don't know how much, because of course we'll
have the school board will not release those figures or
(23:16):
those emails or posts or correspondence.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I mean, wow, I find that a little stunning, don't
you think so?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
District officials were asking for a settlement offer from his lawyers,
tell us how much money you want, and then negotiations.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Happen, and that they won't turn over the documents.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yes. On top of that, AOL officials are like, oh,
what are you talking about? At what point does the
board get thrown out? Just gone and a new board
gets put in? All right, we're gonna come back and
we'll finish it out. Pandle on the news on this
very hot Friday, August twenty two. It's KFI handle here
on hey Friday morning. I would say foody Friday, but
(24:03):
Neil was not here, so we're gonna have a non
foody Friday. Although at eight thirty we still will do
ask handle anything, which we do Friday at eight thirty
where I answer your ridiculous questions with ridiculous answers. Let's
finish up by handle on the news, Amy O'Neil today
and me.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Cuts are common. The Supreme Court has ruled to allow
the Trump administration's cuts to the National Institutes of Health's
grants as part of the federal government's campaign against diversity,
equity and inclusion policies, but it was a mixed decision
in the court left in place a different part of
(24:45):
a lower court judge's ruling, which makes it unclear whether
it's going to be able to actually make those cuts
moving forward.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
A little bit confusing.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, I can see the argument against THEI.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
As far as the anti DEI people are concerned, I
understand that there is a political point.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
That they have, even though I disagree with it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
But I mean cuts to the NIH, cuts to the
CDC when we're talking about organizations, when we're talking about
studies that save people's lives. Man, I don't get that.
I really don't usaid where kids are genuinely going to
starve because we're not giving food out. Remember the big
(25:32):
deal about condoms that the Trump administration had said fifty
million dollars worth of condoms and it was one hundred
million dollars of condoms that were released or that we're
given out in Africa, And look how ridiculous that is.
It all had to do with age prevention. That's what
that was about. And they certainly don't go that far.
(25:54):
So in any case, you're going to see a lot
lot more than that. Here is a fun story. It
happened to be in studio City in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Well, the naked cowboy isn't only in New York City.
You know that guy, yeah Times Square with his underwear
and cowboy boots and plays music. Well, rapper Lil nas
X was spotted roaming down venture A boulevard and studio
City early on Yesterday morning, wearing just his undies and
matching cowboy boots. They did pick him up and arrested
(26:27):
him and took him to the hospital to check out
whether he was suffering from an overdose. He apparently lunged
at police officers when they arrived on the scene to
check it out.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
That's not indecent exposure.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Why can't you use It's underwear exposure.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, it's underwear exposure. What you can now wear? What
do you get to wear?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
All kinds of bathing suits that are really tight. You
know those speedos that people wear. Those are legal and
you can see like every little bump on a scroll.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
But he didn't get he didn't get arrested for what
he was wearing or not wearing. He got arrested because
he apparently went after the officers.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
When I think, and they didn't put him to jail.
They took him to some facility. I think also he
was putting an orange traffic cone on his head.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You know that's that says something, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah, he was arrested though, mm yeah, for battery and
a police officer. Okay, Uh, flying into the eye of
the storm. I'm glad I wasn't on this flight. A
Spirit Airlines flight from Philadelphia to San Juan appeared to
have flown directly through the path of Hurricane Erin. The
airline Spirit Airlines is insisting the course was completely safe.
(27:51):
Safety is already is always our top priority, said an
airline spokesperson. At the time, Hurricane Erin was a Category
four storm. They did get there, Okay, everybody's fine.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
But they don't even talk about a bumpy ride either
or insane surbulence.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Turbulence.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
So I've gone around storms before, I've had pilots. They're like, hey, yeah,
it's a little bit bumpy. We're going to go around
and you can look at the storm as you go
around it. Apparently they don't know which.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Way to go on that bed bathroom beyond stores.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Uh, it's a bust when it comes to California. So
they were in bankruptcy or they are in bankruptcy. They're
coming out and they're going to reopen three hundred stores
around the US. But California, according to the executive chairman
Marcus Lamonis, has created one of the most over regulated, expensive,
risky environments for businesses. He went on to say, it's
(28:46):
a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder
to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers.
So when it starts reopening those stores, none of them
are going to be in California.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Makes sense.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
And then the big news also In and Out moving
their headquarters I think to Tennessee. And In and Out
started in California in nineteen forty eight, and it has
become iconic here in southern California. Actually it's become iconic
in five states. They just open up in Washington. You know,
people were waiting all night to get a burger. The
(29:22):
wait was hours long. I mean, come on, I'm a
big fan, but at some point doesn't that get ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
If you're a fan of the Magic Mushroom, you may
be able to get your hands on it even easier.
The US Department of Health and Human Services is weighing
a petitioned sent earlier this month by the Drug Enforcement
Administration to review the scientific evidence and consider easing restrictions
on magic mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You ever done mushrooms? Nope? All right? And you ever
done mushrooms?
Speaker 4 (30:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Will you ever done mushrooms? That means yes, I have.
As a matter of fact, I've done everything, you know
in my life. I always the garbage can that I
would put anything into my body. And that's one of
the few drugs I couldn't stand. Magic mushrooms and they've
(30:27):
just I just got nauseous with it.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
It makes you really stick to your stomach. I've heard
yeah it does, yeah, And so I never got it.
All right. We are done with a Handle on the
news coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's the big story here in California, I mean a
massive political story, and that is we are going to
go to the polls in November to vote on whether
or not we're going we the legislature is going to
redistrict California to create more democratic districts.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
We'll talk about that when we return.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Uh.
