Speaker 2 (04:01):

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
She is.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Actually I can't hear you, Nikki. I can't hear you. Well,
I love her Australian accent. Let's listen to this.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Okay, Nikki, I am wearing shorts today. I'm trying to
look very preppy this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, okay, shorts are preppy.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
My shorts are their designer.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Their designer design accent.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That's me. I could tease yours.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know that, when you think about it, is everybody
else has an accent.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Exactly. I don't have that accent.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know, no one ever has an accent.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Now here's a quick factoid, and this is not one
of those general factoids I've told you many times. My
dad spoke not nine languages dead ass fluently and a
few more that he could get along in.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
He did not have a native tongue.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
He had an accent in every single language he spoke.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So he was like a James Bond Villa.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was just so weird. I mean, his native tongue.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He grew up and was Serbo Croatian and when he
spoke Serbo Croatian, he sounded like he obviously spoke perfect
Serbo Croatian, he grew up with it, but he sounded
like he came from somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Honestly, your dad sounds hot.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh yeah, I believe me. Act he was a little.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Hot when he was running a temperature just before he died. Yeah,
that's that's true, all right, guys. But it was really weird.
For example, he spoke Italian, but when he spoke Italian,
people knew he was Italian, but didn't quite know where
in Italy he was from.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's always a little bit of a different dialect. It
was very interesting.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
He was like, you can't tell Bruno Serrato from the
wonderful White House restaurant Nanaheim. He's got a different accent,
but speaks like he sounds French.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
He sounds Italian. He sounds but it's an accent in
every language.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Although I think it's Italian, he's Italian Italian. My dad
who spoke My dad was an interpreter after World War
Two in the Italian course. I mean, he knew Italian,
but he always sounded like he was someplace else.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Same thing with German.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I know you're German, but I don't quite know where
in Germany you're from.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That was that was my dad. Okay, we got a
lot to cover, so let's do it, guys.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm gonna do the first two stories because we just
have the jobs report in, so we'll do that.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's time for handle.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
On the news, Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, the jobs report came in and they're not very good.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Twenty two thousand new jobs added, way less than expectations.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And here is I want to throw a few things
at you. Number one.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The last time the jobs report came in horribly was
when Erica in Tarfer was the head of the Bureau,
the head of Bureau Bureau ahead of Statistics or head
of Bureau Statistics, I'll get that. And that was a
Trump appointee and he fired her because bad numbers are
(07:19):
fake news.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And now you've got e J. And Tony, who was
a longtime.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Critic of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who just was
in charge of issuing this report. Now it's bad news.
Is Trump going to fire him? And I don't know
the answer to that. I hope so, because bad news
is fake news and good news is good news, that's real.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
What's the saying, kill the messenger?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah except the message, but yeah, kill the messenger unless
well that's true, kill the messengers when it's bad news. Now,
the stock market, the futures are up. How do you
figure that? Why did that happen? Because what this does
is solidify the chances of the Fed lower interest rates,
(08:10):
which is going to happen later on this month. And
so when even the anticipation of lower interest rates comes
into being, the stock market reacts.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So it is it's difficult.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There's a lot of contradictory things going on in the economy,
and we'll see what happens to the stock market. It's
the futures are up, so you're gonna see it pretty strong. Okay,
one more before we take a break, and that is
Robert F.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yesterday, Oh man, that hearing that was in front of
the Senate Committee, the Senate Finance Committee.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
He got nailed. I mean it was a fistfight.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This is a guy who grew up in politics, is
not cowed at all by a Senate hearing, and he
just threw it right back about him. They called him
a liar straight out. He told them that they're out
of their minds. I'm going to talk more about that
at seven o'clock because there are a lot of pieces
on that one hugely entertaining. And he is part of
(09:15):
what's white as black, what's left is right, what's up
is down?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That philosophy, he's right in the middle of it, all right.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
New nuclear race, Russia says it'll help China overtake the
US as the world's biggest producer of nuclear power. The
US currently operates the world's largest network of nuclear reactors
nearly ninety seven gigawatts of installed capacity. Whatever that means.
(09:44):
China's racing to build dozens of reactors, and asked on
State TV about whether Russia would help China get to
their goal of overtaking the US, Russia's Rosa Toms Nuclear
Corporation chief said, of course, we will help. We are
(10:04):
already helping.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah. A couple of things. First of all, this is
a nuclear power. This is not nuclear weaponry. You said it. No,
you said it.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I just want to reiterate and make that super clear
because people conflate the two. And Russia has really advanced
technology in terms of nuclear power, not as good as
the US, but pretty damn close and so Turnobile taught
them a lesson, didn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Moving on, Wow, this one you can file under yikes.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
You've got senior Justice Department officials apparently holding meetings since
last week's deadly Minneapolis Catholic school shooting. They're considering banning
transgender people from owning firearms.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And how do you do that, Neil, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Tell you how they're determining that to be transgender is
a mental illness?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well what they're doing, but really, hell exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And you know who's against it is the gun advocates
are going to be fighting this.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Because then, you know, then you start stepping into that right.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Then you have the slippery slope.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Once you start allowing transgender people or you stop transgender
people from having guns, you can do anybody. It is
astounding the anti transgender, anti LGBTQ philosophy that this administration has.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
It's amazing and it's unfathomable to me because you think
Republicans are the ones that are talking about freedoms and rights.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's totally changed.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
You would think that this would be the most patriotic
thing in the world is to support now the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Wait till they find out that transgender people have better eyesight.
A bitter Hedeim, Yeah, what do you do with that?
You go onto the next story.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Uber's going to old school.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
If you take an Uber ride, you can now pay
in cash. Of course, you've only been able to use
credit card and you have to pay through the app.
But they're testing it out. They've tested it out in
other markets. Now it's coming to La So it's for
verified riders and only drivers with strong feedback can accept cash,
and the drivers can opt out at any time. But apparently,
(12:30):
when you go into the app, you choose the cash
option for your payment method, and then you pay at
the end of the trip, just like you did with
a cab in days gone by.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I wonder how many people you have to have a
smartphone obviously to book an Uber. How many people have
a phone and don't have a credit card.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Well, maybe you've been maxed out. Maybe you've been.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Maxed out on your credit card, okay, and then you
can pay in cash.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
All right, I just answered my question. Good for your
bill or your burner phone? Like Cono correct? Do you
know what a burner phone is?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I know exactly what a burner phone is. So we're
going to talk about burner phones and barbecuing burner phones tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh boy, all right, how do you barbecue on a phone? Well,
you use a burner phone and you do it on
a big green egg.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Los Angeles Police Metropolitan Division officers are now going to
be part of that CHP protection unit for Kamala Harris,
former Vice president as Trump pulled the Secret Service, you know,
one thing to have the CHP, But you're talking about
the Metropolitan Division and these are guys and gals that
(13:43):
normally work on crime suppression assignments in very, very hard
hit areas of the city. We are low on cops.
CHP is one thing, man, but we're low on cops.
Last thing they need is pulling anybody.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
All right, I'm gonna throw the other side at you.
First of all, really, what are the odds? Okay?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Whenever, whenever any kind of a let's say, a foreign visitor, Yeah,
a dignitary or someone who is visiting from a foreign government.
The cops here in Los Angeles provide protection. They do, Okay,
you see them all over the place. She was entitled
(14:24):
to protect. This whole thing has to do with removal
her protection from the Secret Service for six months. Yeah,
for six months, and Trump stopped it. They were in
they're into the six months, so they're past the six
months and Biden Biden extended it.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
So I don't understand way the extension he didn't. Yeah,
that's it, just took away the extension.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So now State of California said we're going to protect her.
She is a resident of State of California, highly vulnerable,
high profile politician, and the and once she goes locally
to Los Angeles, she gets protection. But we're talking permanent
because she has house in Brentwood.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And by the way, she's in California.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Newsom and Bass have said over and over how safe
it is in California.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Both of them have.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Karen Bass I believe has protection from the LAPD. We
should look that up from the LAPD. With the LAPD,
I think the l from that's good, actually that I know.
With the LAPD, I think she gets protection because.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Listen, she's she served our country. I think she deserves protection.
I just think that when we have a low head
count in our LAPD, the last thing we need is
how long are they are? They just is it temporary
like you used in your analogy for a dignitary coming
for a small amount of time or is this years
and years?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Well, it depends.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The only person that gets lifetime protection are former presidents.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
So after that, this go how long is reasonable for
you if they're supposed to get six months?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
If I had to do, well, six months is reasonable
for me? If that is the law, it's done.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Then she is done. That's that number one. That's true.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And therefore, because she is done, and we're talking about
federal protection, we're talking about Secret Service protection, she is done.
And so now in lieu of that, you've got the
state and the and the city of La saying we're
gonna protect her.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Here's what I think. Yeah, here's what I think. Here's
what I think.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I think it is reasonable the Yankor protection, and I
think it's unreasonable to give her protection from the state
and the city. This should be means tested. She has
tons of money. I mean, she's a very wealthy woman.
Let her buy her own damn protection. If you can
afford it, you buy it.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Okay my thoughts, Mayor bass is protected by the LAPD. Okay,
you're yeah, No, I said it was true, and you're
confirming it. Yes, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You can always confirm, always, always interrupt and say you're right,
Bill every single time.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I just want to point that out.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
The other time year it was funny when he was
cowtowing to people during protests about how bad the cops
were and being protected by them.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You gotta love La politics, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Moving on, something positive may come out of a tragedy.
The Heavens twenty seven Camp Safety Bill is expected to
be signed into law in Texas. Parents of the campers
and camp counselors who died in the Texas floods over
the fourth of July weekend support the bill. It's been
two months since a whole summer's worth of rain fell
(17:37):
on July fourth that triggered those flash floods that rushed
through Texas hill Country, converged around Camp Mystic and killed
at least twenty six campers and counselors in Kerr County.
It's called the Heavens twenty seven because there is a
twenty seventh person is still missing.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You know, I wonder how much of it is going
to be. Here are the new rules and regulations and
the new safety aspects of this versus how campers and
camps have to stay away from flood zones that they
already knew were in the flood zone.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Area where Camp Mystic.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Was was right there where it had flooded before, and
protocol I may even be law that said you cannot
put camp that in that area.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So I don't know how much beyond they and they
did something.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, and maybe that is what the rules are. There
will be no exceptions.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I think you're right.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I think that was the biggest mistake there, all right.
US State Department imposed sanctions now on these three Palestinian
human rights groups. These are the groups that went to
the International Criminal Court that Bill Handle always likes to
say means nothing. But they went to the ICC to
(19:02):
investigate and arrest Israeli leaders over war crimes in Gaza.
So they're saying, hey, there's war crimes in Gaza. Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yov Gallant, that these
people need to be held accountable.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, okay, nothing ever happens as a result of that.
It's kind of nothing on nothing on nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, pretty much. I mean it's a political statement for
the most part. And this is sure, why not? This
is war crimes investigation putin for example, they're straight out
an arrest warrant for putin under the criminal court, under
the international criminal courts. So yeah, no judicial court, international
(19:52):
judicial court. I always get confused at all these courts
that have absolutely no influence on anything.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Have pleaded not guilty to murder. The parents of the
missing seven month old Emmanuel Harrow pleaded guilty yesterday each
to a single count of murder. Jake Harrow and Rebecca
Harrow were charged last week in Riverside County Superior Court
with one count each of murder with malice and also
(20:21):
charged with making that false police report because if you'll recall,
Rebecca Harrow said, oh, I got knocked out in the
Big Five parking lot. When I woke up, my baby
was gone then.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And by the way, baby Emmanuel's body has never been found,
and so they're going to I mean, based on the circumstance,
I think there's not much of a defense here. The
mom said she was changing the diapers of her little
one outside of the Big Five, as you mentioned, and
all of a sudden she was attacked and the perpetrator
(20:55):
took the baby, and then when the cops showed up,
of course, her story fell apart as it did, she
shut up, and I'm assuming a lawyer up.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
At that point stop cooperating.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
So it looks like they're gonna nail them, and they should,
because I don't think that any credence to her story
that there was a kidnapping and she was attacked in
broad daylight outside of the store.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
And law enforcement made some statement bill along the lines of,
we have inarguable evidence that that story was false. So
they must have either video of that not happening or
at the time she claimed or something.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
But what we shall see, all right.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
The semi controversial Zorron Mamdani, who is the mayoral candidate
for New York City, he came out on Wednesday and
said that the White House is considering administration jobs for
Eric Adams, Maryork Adams, and Curtis Sliwa, and he says
(22:00):
it's a front to democracy, and there's these back room
dealings that are going on right now. And you know,
if you remember, back in mid July, Trump told reporters
that Cuomo should remain in the race, yea, that he
thought he had a shot and all that so well.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Because if all these people stayed in and Andrew Cuomo
stays in, then he's got a shot at going against Mamdani.
If you have a bunch of Republicans fighting against each
other running his independence, Mamdanni gets it by default because
there's no one there to split his no one there
to split his votes. By the way, this is not
(22:38):
backroom deals. This is all front room deals. There's no
secrets here.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
So what you're saying, to be clear is that if
he takes Sleiwa out, he takes the other candidates, Republican
candidates out, then they're not going to split each other's.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Right, So there'll be one.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
There'll be one running as an independent, and that will
probably be Andrew Cuomo, and there's a shot there. And
if Slee Sleiwa is running, I think Eric Adams is
running again. So if Adams gets an administration job, which
is very interesting because Adams is a tried and true
(23:15):
blue member of the Democratic Party who sold out completely
to Trump. Uh. And then Sleewah, who's a really weird guy.
He was he created the Guardian Angels, remember that. And
he's been around forever and he was a talk shows
in New York. Yeah yeah, and he has a lot
of name recognition.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Also known for being unlistenable on radio.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
And I have absolutely no idea how he kept his
job other than name recognition.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Huh. And they have those neat parats, Yeah, neat anybody
that does that. What has name with? No?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
No, I don't keep my job. No, no, wrong, I
don't keep my job because of name recognition. No one
recognizes recognizes my name.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Do a survey, go out there and go, hey, do
you know who Bill Handle is? And I'll tell you what.
The answer is going to be nine out of ten.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Who wow.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
It's because you start to forget when you get older.
Oh god, I'm having fun today.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's Friday. I don't even remember what you said.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
So we've got alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
So what are they going to call this one?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Behind bars in the Bayou?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
The Trump administration says it's going to detain immigrants in
the nation's largest maximum security prison. It's no notorious and
known as a prison plantation in Louisiana. Louisiana has the
second highest number of ice detention centers outside Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Who knew Wei says they're looking at securing eighty eighty
thousand new beds in existing prisons.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Facilities on a military basis.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
So I don't know how much that's going to cost,
but at least they're not building new facilities. And that's
top on top of forty one thousand detention beds already
in the system.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
And remember, and they're going to hire ten thousand new agents.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
They have over one hundred thousand applications and Department of
Homeland Security has eliminated age restrictions.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You can be sixty five years old and apply. You
can apply.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
No, okay, interested, okay, good to know. So Trump is
doing stuff in the Oval office. Now, he's expected to
sign an executive order renaming the Department of Defense to
its original name, Department of War.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Dun dun dum.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
And you know there's a point there, he says, because
Department of Defense is it is defense.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
All we do is we react.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
A Department of War is war like we have and
it was the Department of War up until I think
it was Truman, uh that that changed it. So there's
some history there and there's and there's some logic now
and now in reality, what you're going to hear is
the renaming of all the departments. Uh, it'll be the
(26:17):
Department of Trump won one point one, and then it'll
be the Department of Trump one point two. Because when
we have to rename all the departments, that, by the way,
is me with a cheap political jobe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I will say this.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
There's talk about them renaming the White House to the
White Powerhouse.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
But uh, that's better than mine. That's much better than mine.
I must tell you. Let's not do that again. Okay,
it's hard for me not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
To, I know you.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
The fight for truth, justice, and the American way is
on against AI. Warner Brothers Discovery has joined a key
copyright infringement case against AI company mid Journey Incorporated. Warner
Brothers claims that its image generator produces blatant ripoffs of
some of its most well known and copyright protected characters
(27:10):
like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and even Scooby Doo.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Who.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, So this this.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Puts them in the same battle that has been launched
by Walt Disney Company and also Comcast Universal Pictures. They
filed a suit in June.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And this is an easy one.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
How close to the copyrighted figures does this a come
close to? Or how close does it come? And so
you're gonna have a jury go Yeah, that's too close.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
That's all superheroes up off of other superheroes. You would think, well,
a water guy, Superman, really tough guy.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
They're all I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Hey, lastly, Sidney Sweeney is fine, and so is American
Eagle Outfitters. All's well, their stock swored more than twenty
percent after hours trading this past Wednesday, and they say
that it has been the best advertising campaign to date.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But who knows.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, and now I'm going to show you what a
complete dinosaur I am.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Who is Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
She's an actress. She's very popular.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh and she lives at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Maybe
is she tubular?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
No, she's a very popular actress though.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, all right, so she's not an influencer of some kind.
She's an actress person.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
No legitimate Hollywood star.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Okay, fair enough. All right, guys, we are done with

there's a big hole at the bottom and the water
is pouring out.

Okay, you were raised in organ I was actually raised

a California Gonian.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like wow, okay, not bad. I think I've said to
load everybody.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Uh, and then we have a Nikki back there, the
crazy ass uh uh, the Australian jew who's over there?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Are you wearing shorts?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
She is.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Actually I can't hear you, Nikki. I can't hear you. Well,
I love her Australian accent. Let's listen to this.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Okay, Nikki, I am wearing shorts today. I'm trying to
look very preppy this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, okay, shorts are preppy.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
My shorts are their designer.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Their designer design accent.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That's me. I could tease yours.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know that, when you think about it, is everybody
else has an accent.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Exactly. I don't have that accent.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know, no one ever has an accent.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Now here's a quick factoid, and this is not one
of those general factoids I've told you many times. My
dad spoke not nine languages dead ass fluently and a
few more that he could get along in.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
He did not have a native tongue.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
He had an accent in every single language he spoke.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So he was like a James Bond Villa.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was just so weird. I mean, his native tongue.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He grew up and was Serbo Croatian and when he
spoke Serbo Croatian, he sounded like he obviously spoke perfect
Serbo Croatian, he grew up with it, but he sounded
like he came from somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Honestly, your dad sounds hot.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh yeah, I believe me. Act he was a little.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Hot when he was running a temperature just before he died. Yeah,
that's that's true, all right, guys. But it was really weird.
For example, he spoke Italian, but when he spoke Italian,
people knew he was Italian, but didn't quite know where
in Italy he was from.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's always a little bit of a different dialect. It
was very interesting.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
He was like, you can't tell Bruno Serrato from the
wonderful White House restaurant Nanaheim. He's got a different accent,
but speaks like he sounds French.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
He sounds Italian. He sounds but it's an accent in
every language.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Although I think it's Italian, he's Italian Italian. My dad
who spoke My dad was an interpreter after World War
Two in the Italian course. I mean, he knew Italian,
but he always sounded like he was someplace else.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Same thing with German.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I know you're German, but I don't quite know where
in Germany you're from.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That was that was my dad. Okay, we got a
lot to cover, so let's do it, guys.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm gonna do the first two stories because we just
have the jobs report in, so we'll do that.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's time for handle.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
On the news, Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, the jobs report came in and they're not very good.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Twenty two thousand new jobs added, way less than expectations.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And here is I want to throw a few things
at you. Number one.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The last time the jobs report came in horribly was
when Erica in Tarfer was the head of the Bureau,
the head of Bureau Bureau ahead of Statistics or head
of Bureau Statistics, I'll get that. And that was a
Trump appointee and he fired her because bad numbers are
(07:19):
fake news.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And now you've got e J. And Tony, who was
a longtime.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Critic of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who just was
in charge of issuing this report. Now it's bad news.
Is Trump going to fire him? And I don't know
the answer to that. I hope so, because bad news
is fake news and good news is good news, that's real.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
What's the saying, kill the messenger?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah except the message, but yeah, kill the messenger unless
well that's true, kill the messengers when it's bad news. Now,
the stock market, the futures are up. How do you
figure that? Why did that happen? Because what this does
is solidify the chances of the Fed lower interest rates,
(08:10):
which is going to happen later on this month. And
so when even the anticipation of lower interest rates comes
into being, the stock market reacts.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So it is it's difficult.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There's a lot of contradictory things going on in the economy,
and we'll see what happens to the stock market. It's
the futures are up, so you're gonna see it pretty strong. Okay,
one more before we take a break, and that is
Robert F.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yesterday, Oh man, that hearing that was in front of
the Senate Committee, the Senate Finance Committee.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
He got nailed. I mean it was a fistfight.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This is a guy who grew up in politics, is
not cowed at all by a Senate hearing, and he
just threw it right back about him. They called him
a liar straight out. He told them that they're out
of their minds. I'm going to talk more about that
at seven o'clock because there are a lot of pieces
on that one hugely entertaining. And he is part of
(09:15):
what's white as black, what's left is right, what's up
is down?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That philosophy, he's right in the middle of it, all right.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
New nuclear race, Russia says it'll help China overtake the
US as the world's biggest producer of nuclear power. The
US currently operates the world's largest network of nuclear reactors
nearly ninety seven gigawatts of installed capacity. Whatever that means.
(09:44):
China's racing to build dozens of reactors, and asked on
State TV about whether Russia would help China get to
their goal of overtaking the US, Russia's Rosa Toms Nuclear
Corporation chief said, of course, we will help. We are
(10:04):
already helping.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah. A couple of things. First of all, this is
a nuclear power. This is not nuclear weaponry. You said it. No,
you said it.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I just want to reiterate and make that super clear
because people conflate the two. And Russia has really advanced
technology in terms of nuclear power, not as good as
the US, but pretty damn close and so Turnobile taught
them a lesson, didn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Moving on, Wow, this one you can file under yikes.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
You've got senior Justice Department officials apparently holding meetings since
last week's deadly Minneapolis Catholic school shooting. They're considering banning
transgender people from owning firearms.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And how do you do that, Neil, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Tell you how they're determining that to be transgender is
a mental illness?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well what they're doing, but really, hell exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And you know who's against it is the gun advocates
are going to be fighting this.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Because then, you know, then you start stepping into that right.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Then you have the slippery slope.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Once you start allowing transgender people or you stop transgender
people from having guns, you can do anybody. It is
astounding the anti transgender, anti LGBTQ philosophy that this administration has.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
It's amazing and it's unfathomable to me because you think
Republicans are the ones that are talking about freedoms and rights.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's totally changed.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
You would think that this would be the most patriotic
thing in the world is to support now the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Wait till they find out that transgender people have better eyesight.
A bitter Hedeim, Yeah, what do you do with that?
You go onto the next story.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Uber's going to old school.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
If you take an Uber ride, you can now pay
in cash. Of course, you've only been able to use
credit card and you have to pay through the app.
But they're testing it out. They've tested it out in
other markets. Now it's coming to La So it's for
verified riders and only drivers with strong feedback can accept cash,
and the drivers can opt out at any time. But apparently,
(12:30):
when you go into the app, you choose the cash
option for your payment method, and then you pay at
the end of the trip, just like you did with
a cab in days gone by.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I wonder how many people you have to have a
smartphone obviously to book an Uber. How many people have
a phone and don't have a credit card.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Well, maybe you've been maxed out. Maybe you've been.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Maxed out on your credit card, okay, and then you
can pay in cash.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
All right, I just answered my question. Good for your
bill or your burner phone? Like Cono correct? Do you
know what a burner phone is?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I know exactly what a burner phone is. So we're
going to talk about burner phones and barbecuing burner phones tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh boy, all right, how do you barbecue on a phone? Well,
you use a burner phone and you do it on
a big green egg.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Los Angeles Police Metropolitan Division officers are now going to
be part of that CHP protection unit for Kamala Harris,
former Vice president as Trump pulled the Secret Service, you know,
one thing to have the CHP, But you're talking about
the Metropolitan Division and these are guys and gals that
(13:43):
normally work on crime suppression assignments in very, very hard
hit areas of the city. We are low on cops.
CHP is one thing, man, but we're low on cops.
Last thing they need is pulling anybody.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
All right, I'm gonna throw the other side at you.
First of all, really, what are the odds? Okay?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Whenever, whenever any kind of a let's say, a foreign visitor, Yeah,
a dignitary or someone who is visiting from a foreign government.
The cops here in Los Angeles provide protection. They do, Okay,
you see them all over the place. She was entitled
(14:24):
to protect. This whole thing has to do with removal
her protection from the Secret Service for six months. Yeah,
for six months, and Trump stopped it. They were in
they're into the six months, so they're past the six
months and Biden Biden extended it.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
So I don't understand way the extension he didn't. Yeah,
that's it, just took away the extension.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So now State of California said we're going to protect her.
She is a resident of State of California, highly vulnerable,
high profile politician, and the and once she goes locally
to Los Angeles, she gets protection. But we're talking permanent
because she has house in Brentwood.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And by the way, she's in California.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Newsom and Bass have said over and over how safe
it is in California.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Both of them have.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Karen Bass I believe has protection from the LAPD. We
should look that up from the LAPD. With the LAPD,
I think the l from that's good, actually that I know.
With the LAPD, I think she gets protection because.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Listen, she's she served our country. I think she deserves protection.
I just think that when we have a low head
count in our LAPD, the last thing we need is
how long are they are? They just is it temporary
like you used in your analogy for a dignitary coming
for a small amount of time or is this years
and years?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Well, it depends.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The only person that gets lifetime protection are former presidents.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
So after that, this go how long is reasonable for
you if they're supposed to get six months?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
If I had to do, well, six months is reasonable
for me? If that is the law, it's done.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Then she is done. That's that number one. That's true.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And therefore, because she is done, and we're talking about
federal protection, we're talking about Secret Service protection, she is done.
And so now in lieu of that, you've got the
state and the and the city of La saying we're
gonna protect her.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Here's what I think. Yeah, here's what I think. Here's
what I think.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I think it is reasonable the Yankor protection, and I
think it's unreasonable to give her protection from the state
and the city. This should be means tested. She has
tons of money. I mean, she's a very wealthy woman.
Let her buy her own damn protection. If you can
afford it, you buy it.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Okay my thoughts, Mayor bass is protected by the LAPD. Okay,
you're yeah, No, I said it was true, and you're
confirming it. Yes, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You can always confirm, always, always interrupt and say you're right,
Bill every single time.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I just want to point that out.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
The other time year it was funny when he was
cowtowing to people during protests about how bad the cops
were and being protected by them.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You gotta love La politics, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Moving on, something positive may come out of a tragedy.
The Heavens twenty seven Camp Safety Bill is expected to
be signed into law in Texas. Parents of the campers
and camp counselors who died in the Texas floods over
the fourth of July weekend support the bill. It's been
two months since a whole summer's worth of rain fell
(17:37):
on July fourth that triggered those flash floods that rushed
through Texas hill Country, converged around Camp Mystic and killed
at least twenty six campers and counselors in Kerr County.
It's called the Heavens twenty seven because there is a
twenty seventh person is still missing.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You know, I wonder how much of it is going
to be. Here are the new rules and regulations and
the new safety aspects of this versus how campers and
camps have to stay away from flood zones that they
already knew were in the flood zone.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Area where Camp Mystic.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Was was right there where it had flooded before, and
protocol I may even be law that said you cannot
put camp that in that area.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So I don't know how much beyond they and they
did something.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, and maybe that is what the rules are. There
will be no exceptions.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I think you're right.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I think that was the biggest mistake there, all right.
US State Department imposed sanctions now on these three Palestinian
human rights groups. These are the groups that went to
the International Criminal Court that Bill Handle always likes to
say means nothing. But they went to the ICC to
(19:02):
investigate and arrest Israeli leaders over war crimes in Gaza.
So they're saying, hey, there's war crimes in Gaza. Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yov Gallant, that these
people need to be held accountable.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, okay, nothing ever happens as a result of that.
It's kind of nothing on nothing on nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, pretty much. I mean it's a political statement for
the most part. And this is sure, why not? This
is war crimes investigation putin for example, they're straight out
an arrest warrant for putin under the criminal court, under
the international criminal courts. So yeah, no judicial court, international
(19:52):
judicial court. I always get confused at all these courts
that have absolutely no influence on anything.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Have pleaded not guilty to murder. The parents of the
missing seven month old Emmanuel Harrow pleaded guilty yesterday each
to a single count of murder. Jake Harrow and Rebecca
Harrow were charged last week in Riverside County Superior Court
with one count each of murder with malice and also
(20:21):
charged with making that false police report because if you'll recall,
Rebecca Harrow said, oh, I got knocked out in the
Big Five parking lot. When I woke up, my baby
was gone then.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And by the way, baby Emmanuel's body has never been found,
and so they're going to I mean, based on the circumstance,
I think there's not much of a defense here. The
mom said she was changing the diapers of her little
one outside of the Big Five, as you mentioned, and
all of a sudden she was attacked and the perpetrator
(20:55):
took the baby, and then when the cops showed up,
of course, her story fell apart as it did, she
shut up, and I'm assuming a lawyer up.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
At that point stop cooperating.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
So it looks like they're gonna nail them, and they should,
because I don't think that any credence to her story
that there was a kidnapping and she was attacked in
broad daylight outside of the store.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
And law enforcement made some statement bill along the lines of,
we have inarguable evidence that that story was false. So
they must have either video of that not happening or
at the time she claimed or something.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
But what we shall see, all right.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
The semi controversial Zorron Mamdani, who is the mayoral candidate
for New York City, he came out on Wednesday and
said that the White House is considering administration jobs for
Eric Adams, Maryork Adams, and Curtis Sliwa, and he says
(22:00):
it's a front to democracy, and there's these back room
dealings that are going on right now. And you know,
if you remember, back in mid July, Trump told reporters
that Cuomo should remain in the race, yea, that he
thought he had a shot and all that so well.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Because if all these people stayed in and Andrew Cuomo
stays in, then he's got a shot at going against Mamdani.
If you have a bunch of Republicans fighting against each
other running his independence, Mamdanni gets it by default because
there's no one there to split his no one there
to split his votes. By the way, this is not
(22:38):
backroom deals. This is all front room deals. There's no
secrets here.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
So what you're saying, to be clear is that if
he takes Sleiwa out, he takes the other candidates, Republican
candidates out, then they're not going to split each other's.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Right, So there'll be one.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
There'll be one running as an independent, and that will
probably be Andrew Cuomo, and there's a shot there. And
if Slee Sleiwa is running, I think Eric Adams is
running again. So if Adams gets an administration job, which
is very interesting because Adams is a tried and true
(23:15):
blue member of the Democratic Party who sold out completely
to Trump. Uh. And then Sleewah, who's a really weird guy.
He was he created the Guardian Angels, remember that. And
he's been around forever and he was a talk shows
in New York. Yeah yeah, and he has a lot
of name recognition.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Also known for being unlistenable on radio.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
And I have absolutely no idea how he kept his
job other than name recognition.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Huh. And they have those neat parats, Yeah, neat anybody
that does that. What has name with? No?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
No, I don't keep my job. No, no, wrong, I
don't keep my job because of name recognition. No one
recognizes recognizes my name.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Do a survey, go out there and go, hey, do
you know who Bill Handle is? And I'll tell you what.
The answer is going to be nine out of ten.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Who wow.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
It's because you start to forget when you get older.
Oh god, I'm having fun today.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's Friday. I don't even remember what you said.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
So we've got alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
So what are they going to call this one?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Behind bars in the Bayou?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
The Trump administration says it's going to detain immigrants in
the nation's largest maximum security prison. It's no notorious and
known as a prison plantation in Louisiana. Louisiana has the
second highest number of ice detention centers outside Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Who knew Wei says they're looking at securing eighty eighty
thousand new beds in existing prisons.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Facilities on a military basis.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
So I don't know how much that's going to cost,
but at least they're not building new facilities. And that's
top on top of forty one thousand detention beds already
in the system.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
And remember, and they're going to hire ten thousand new agents.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
They have over one hundred thousand applications and Department of
Homeland Security has eliminated age restrictions.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You can be sixty five years old and apply. You
can apply.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
No, okay, interested, okay, good to know. So Trump is
doing stuff in the Oval office. Now, he's expected to
sign an executive order renaming the Department of Defense to
its original name, Department of War.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Dun dun dum.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
And you know there's a point there, he says, because
Department of Defense is it is defense.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
All we do is we react.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
A Department of War is war like we have and
it was the Department of War up until I think
it was Truman, uh that that changed it. So there's
some history there and there's and there's some logic now
and now in reality, what you're going to hear is
the renaming of all the departments. Uh, it'll be the
(26:17):
Department of Trump won one point one, and then it'll
be the Department of Trump one point two. Because when
we have to rename all the departments, that, by the way,
is me with a cheap political jobe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I will say this.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
There's talk about them renaming the White House to the
White Powerhouse.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
But uh, that's better than mine. That's much better than mine.
I must tell you. Let's not do that again. Okay,
it's hard for me not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
To, I know you.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
The fight for truth, justice, and the American way is
on against AI. Warner Brothers Discovery has joined a key
copyright infringement case against AI company mid Journey Incorporated. Warner
Brothers claims that its image generator produces blatant ripoffs of
some of its most well known and copyright protected characters
(27:10):
like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and even Scooby Doo.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Who.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, So this this.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Puts them in the same battle that has been launched
by Walt Disney Company and also Comcast Universal Pictures. They
filed a suit in June.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And this is an easy one.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
How close to the copyrighted figures does this a come
close to? Or how close does it come? And so
you're gonna have a jury go Yeah, that's too close.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
That's all superheroes up off of other superheroes. You would think, well,
a water guy, Superman, really tough guy.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
They're all I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Hey, lastly, Sidney Sweeney is fine, and so is American
Eagle Outfitters. All's well, their stock swored more than twenty
percent after hours trading this past Wednesday, and they say

complete dinosaur I am.
