Well you did say hi to me already, but good morning. Okay,
that's a mighty arrow. Do it twice, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I'll do it twice. That's fine. I was on a.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Plane, Bill, I was in Las Vegas switching planes and
people were watching that game and they wouldn't get off
the plane because they were watching it on the Wi Fi.
And the flight attendants were like, you gotta go, people,
you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It was it was that good. It was that good.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yep, it was it was is that good. It was
just a crazy, crazy ass game. Okay, we have a
fair amount talk about today. A couple of things that
are going on in of course, you know, the political
games that are happening in Washington, A couple of things.
I don't understand what the Trump administration is doing. I
just don't get it. I mean, I don't get it.
(04:20):
But then this one, I really don't get it. Where
where's the upside here?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
The rules have changed.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It used to be that if the planes were delayed
over three hours, you would get compensation. All of that
is gone gone. Rules changed completely. Also, junk fees which
were not allowed that all the fees had to be
put onto the ticket. That's all gone too. Airlines can
now throw whatever junk fees they want.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I mean, you just remove those. Those are like two
of the things you can point at. I know that
that's worthy. That's my that's my question.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
What is the upside here? What is the upside? I
don't get it. But yeah, there's a lot that I
don't get obviously, m okay, A lot of people came
up to me, by the way, Uh oh, so Lindsay
was there. You know, Lindsay's a couple of years younger
and I am, huh, just a couple so She's in
(05:23):
front of some ladies who didn't know that she was there,
and they were going, well, you know, she's all she's
in it for the money, you know that. And and
she turns around and goes, you're talking about me, and
so yeah, that's right. Well here's the fun part is
she actually has more money than I do.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
She does not have more money than you do.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
She certainly that you you protest too much, just say yeah,
so what oh I do it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
But it's true she has more money. Her parents have money.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, but she's the only she is the only thing.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
They may give it to a charity. You don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I've already had I've had conversations with them. Now just
stop with that.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
She married you for your money. Be proud of it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah. Well, that's the other thing I can say is
that's God running around.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It's absolutely correct.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
That's I'm running around without the burden knowing that my
wife married me for my looks. I listen, I'm not
gonna make up some sort of stupid story about it.
I know, I get it. I see my reflection. Okay,
I know why you should just own it. Okay, I'm
a piece of meat to her, big whoop.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Okay, we'll go there. Okay, fair enough, Thank you for that, Neil.
Neil's actually perspected that. Yeah, perspective way is just to
admit it. Go, that's absolutely correct. Whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
We just have to own it. Bill, We're hunks of
meat to them.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I love She calls you her adonnas and it cracks
me up every day.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
She does not call me her adonnas to me, she
does really Ada's yeah and forth, she's that's just a
screw with you, Neil. You know that, don't you. Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I love it. I'm sweet.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
All right, enough of that, enough, enough of that, all right?
And Neil chooses the question on ask handle anything. That's
the part that's depressing, all.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Right, are you asking them?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Are you guys ready to do that? Are you guys
ready to do some news? Everybody, let's do it. Handle
on the news with Amy, Neil and me lead story.
The biggest dare attack of the war, Russia hitting Ukraine. Wow,
it just hasn't stopped. And when we talk about the
(07:41):
biggest attack of the war, yesterday was the biggest attack
of the war, and all of a sudden, two days
later it's the biggest attack of the war. Then comes
the biggest attack of the war. Can you imagine what
the magnitude of all of this is. And if you
remember this was supposed to be a peace conference in Alaska,
(08:03):
there is going to be no peace. Putin is not
going to cut this deal unless until he gets Eastern
Ukraine period done. Until then, it's going to just keep
on going and going and going.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Do you think he's going to escalate to even worse damage?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, he'll do with the He'll
try to do what the Israelis are doing to Gaza.
Will he get that close? No, because the Palestinians and
gaz that have no defenses at all, zero, And Israel
has one of the most modern armies with the most
(08:46):
sophisticated weaponry in the world. And Palestinians have no missiles
or they don't have any anti aircraft missiles. They just
can't deal with it. They don't have the training, They
just they don't have the andry. It's just there's just
no chance. Oh you know what it was. It was
I was reading an interesting article about this, and it
(09:09):
was a Hamas leader who was interviewed and was asked
about the fact that does anybody think you've made a
mistake when you attacked Israel, and he said, not only no,
but they're all willing to die as martyrs for the cause.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And Israel's willing to make that happen.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Yeah, for sure, SEMO needs money.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Santa Monica City leaders are going to be meeting tomorrow
and are being asked to declare a fiscal emergency because
they just don't have enough money. They've got a budget
of four hundred and eighty four point three million dollars
but only expecting four hundred and seventy three point five
million in revenue. And a big chunk of this, apparently
(09:59):
is because of all these settlements two hundred and twenty
nine million dollars so far relating to the sexual abuse
of by Eric Euler, who was a former Santa Monica
police dispatcher.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, very special. And Cinemonic is about to declare bankruptcy
and coming up at seven point fifty, I'm going to
talk more about that. Some news about the city declaring bankruptcy.
You'd be surprised how many of these municipalities and states
and counties have declared bankruptcy.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Well, the place as a rat hole now though it's
got so many problems there to begin with. All right,
the carousel that I'm very familiar with in Griffith Park.
If you know the story of Walt Disney, you know this.
As a matter of fact, the original seat, the park
bench where Disney sat watching his daughter that inspired Disneyland
(10:55):
is at Disneyland, and this is referred to as the
crown jewel of the park there. Right, So Walt Disney
dreamt up Disneyland at the carousel there in Griffith Park,
and since what twenty twenty two, I think it hasn't
been working.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, because there's a whole story here. Who owns it,
who doesn't? But the city is buying it and it
was coming. Yeah, I mean it's nothing, but the restoration
is going to be some serious kind.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I tried running it for a while and.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I'm doing that at seven twenty. And I have a
great KFI story connected with the uh the carousel we
used to take.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Back there all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh all right, well you still we still have a
great KFI stories Phenolal, That wasn't it? I know fact
that I took back there. No, it wasn't close, but close.
I will do that at seven twenty. It's a fun
story you're gonna love it.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Real life wedding crasher caught. So remember we told you
about this guy who went to a wedding in Glendale, Eding.
We actually went to the reception and was there for
quite a while, wandered around, mingled with the wedding reception people,
and then it gets caught on video. He grabs a
box full of presents like gift cards and checks in
(12:22):
cash and takes off.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Well. Police have arrested this guy.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
He was picked up in his home in Sherman Oaks
on Thursday, and then the guy who is accused of
being his getaway driver was also arrested.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
They went to the houses.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
And searched them and they found weapons, drugs, and let's
say twenty six checks, about ten thousand in cash. They
think that they stole about sixty thousand dollars worth of it.
And neither one of these guys had criminal records.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And that's what they do. I think the wedding is
probably Iranian. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Pro Armenian, Yeah,
maybe Armenian. And they just do that. You talk about
these cultures. They give a pile of money to the
bride and groom. That's simply the way they simply the
way weddings run.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
They got to hit up bar mitzvahu.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, and not if they're Armenian, No, they don't hit.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Or No, I'm just saying that there's you know.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Cash, You're saying that bad guys should hit a bar mitzvah. Yeah,
are you suggesting that?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No, I'm just thinking like if Cono and I were
on the lamb, like what and I'm like, don't know
me in this please, no, noboddy, somebody's got to drive
the car.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'll tell you. Yeah. The people that my daughters bought
bitzvah that didn't work out well in terms of how
much they got, not even a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Really, Yeah, all.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Right, let's do one more.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
All right, Pope Leo in the news, he's got this
you hear about this computer whiz Carlo Kudis. He's the
first millennial saint. They actually referred to him as God's influencer,
and a website documented a so called eucharistic miracle. This
young man used to pray for hours. Fifteen year old
(14:15):
kid would pray for hours in front of the Eucharist,
which is something that is not totally normal in the
Catholic Church. But he died in two thousand and six
during an open air mass, and he has been canonized
as a saint.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And I'm not particularly familiar with the Catholic Church, as
you know, but there have to be what is it,
three miracles attributed to him before he can be beatified
and then move into the sainthood.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
So that's a miracle, is you know, miracles are depends
how you want to describe what a miracle is.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Imp what normally is people where science cannot describe coming
back or living. I mean, there's a whole thing. They
have doctors. I mean, it's a big deal in the
Catholic Church. But I'll tell you one thing. I have
never seen God come back and grow a limb on
someone as a miracle that I've never.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You prayed for your limb.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I've seen that on I've seen that on salamanders, but
I've never seen that on a human being. That's a miracle.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
The kid, by the way, he was diagnosed with a
cute leukemia and.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Died within days according to this story.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
All right, so South Korea is going to come pick
up their citizens. More than three hundred South Korean workers
were detained in a massive immigration rate at a Hyundai
plant in Georgia last week.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
They're going to be.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Released, and South Korea says there it's going to charter
a plane to bring its workers home.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You don't think of South Korean's being illegal migrants. That's
just not a group that comes to mind. But I
guess they worked at a Hyundai plant. Now, I think
Hyundai is saying that these were they worked for another party,
a contract company. They didn't work directly from for Hyundai,
(16:18):
because that would have been, to say a little bit,
uh in the least embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
And look at it just seems like a way to
protect yourself by just always hiring from a second contractor.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You know, and it's it's hot and over there and
you work at the plan is the dog days of summer,
and let's move on.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
All right.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
This one goes into the Bill handle Wind column President
Donald Trump. You know, they're saying that he and his
top at political advisors in his I don't know cronies
are plotting aggressively to push out a Republican adversary, Representative
(17:02):
Thomas Massey. Of course, you've heard a Handle talk about
the fact if you're not stepping in line with you know,
if you're not forming, you're against me type stuff. Speaker
of Mike Johnson, his leadership team sending very clear signals.
Apparently that says this guy needs to be tossed out
of Northeastern Kentucky district. He's representative for thirteen years because
(17:27):
he is not in lockstep.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
He wants to get those on the Epstein files out.
The president doesn't, and the President's made it very clear
if you in the legislature vote for the Epstein files
to be released, that the government has you are an
enemy and I'm going to do everything I can to
primary you out. You are going to lose.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I have a weird theory, and I want people to
know this is just a theory.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But I want to hear your feedback. Bell.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
What if he's not protecting himself as much as may
he's protecting Millenia. Maybe she was tied into Epstein in
a different way, And what if yes, he was good
friends with him and they were very very close, but
he wasn't into them.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I don't know. But I wonder if he's trying
to protect someone.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Else on social media.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, I'll tell you no, but I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I mean, I've seen memes about her and Epstein, but
I'll tell you why, because I still believe if Biden
had information on Trump and the Biden administration, they would
have released it. But if it's information on her, that
would have been seen as tacky or I don't know.
(18:43):
I just I wonder if maybe it's more about her
than it is about him.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I've never saw the theory. Okay, I that never entered
my mind. Okay, fair enough, And his amy points out
there are means, but there are beings about everything. All
you have to do is come up with one crazy
ass theory and all of a sudden, the Internet explodes.
Except some are you know, they come out to be legitimate,
(19:10):
even the crazy theories. We found out that there really
was a room under that Chicago pizza parlor where the
Democratic leadership were molesting young children.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
If you're going to hide that, hide that in a
pizza shop, I'd never know.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Kamala's on her own sort of.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
So remember her Secret Service protection that was extended by
President Biden was pulled by President Trump. So La said, okay,
we'll help. So the LAPD and the CHP. We're going
to be providing her security. That was criticized just a
little bit, and I'm being facetious. So LAPD now says
(19:57):
it has discontinued its protection of the form.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
I'm or vice president.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, I want it on the record.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I told you it was Karen Bass that made the
decision for the LAPD to protect Kamala Harris. Another bonehead
move by Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I told you, I told you, I told you.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
C HP is one thing, but LAPD, we don't have
enough cops and you're going to put them on her.
It's just we are only moving based on what Trump does.
Will do the opposite whatever it is. You know, you've
got new sube.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That's why this is why the Democrats lost in the
last election, because the Democrats, instead of putting together a
vision of where America would go should go under their leadership,
the whole premise was anti Trump.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
That was on us anymore.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's correct, And you know, she's not worried about what
happens to us and our safety. She's worried about the
you know, countering. They're playing tic tac toe with the
president in the United States instead of giving a rats
ass about what's going on on our own streets.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, the President's going to win because the president is
a lot better at tic tac Toe than Karen bass Is.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
All Right, there will be rain and there will be weather,
but hopefully not so bad. If you've been if you
were listening to Wake Up Call with Aim King this
morning preceding the show here, Hurricane Kiko was is forecasted
to weaken there in Central Pacific as it approaches Hawaii
(21:30):
this week. So the hurricane hit at a Category four
strength but is slowly weakening in recent days. So fingers
crossed that it only brings you know, wind and rain,
but nothing to.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Well still like threatening surf and rip currents, but no
direct Yeah, but you could stay out of the water, right,
and she's gonna get a lot of rain. Yeah, as
opposed to a direct hit. I mean, direct hits are
no fun. Look at what happened with New Orleans and
Hurricane Katrina.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Looks like lawmakers say they've got the votes they need.
Last week, several of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors came together and
stood on the steps of Capitol Hill, demanding Congress stop
playing games, stop protecting the rich and powerful and pass
the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It was put up by
(22:28):
California's Rocanna and Kentucky's Thomas Massey. We mentioned earlier that
now Trump's going after him. The act would require the
Justice Department, the FBI, the Treasury Department, and national security
agencies to unseal and release everything they have on Epstein.
And they're saying this morning that they do have enough
support to pass this.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, this was a little different. The President has called
this a hoax, the whole thing. And when you get
a dozen women up there who argue and successfully argue
with complete ability that they were molested as minors, not
even with Trump supporters, that certainly with females. I don't
(23:10):
care how Ardent a Trump supporter or someone is. That
this one is a different animal. This one crosses a
line that politics heretofore has not crossed. So Mike Johnson
is doing everything of corners to shut it down because
that's what President Trump wants them to do. And oh
(23:30):
and they're arguing that thirty thousand pages have already been released.
They were already in the public domain. This is the
stuff that people want.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Do we know how many pages there are bill across
the board, and what percentage that would be of no idea.
All right, Treasury Department might have to give back some money,
give them in the form of rebates.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
This is all.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
If Supreme Court upholds the ruling the President Donald Trump's
reciprocal tariffs that we've heard so much about, if those
are seen as an overstep of power, then this Treasure
Secretary Scott Bessent, you know, basically said we have to
do it.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
The court says we give back half the money. You
have to give them back.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, half the money we have to give back. Yeah,
about fifty percent. And one of the things about tariffs,
as much as we bitch and moan, which I'm part
of bitching and moaning, because it really is affecting consumers
and businesses, the government is awash with money because the
tariffs go to the government, and the money coming into
(24:41):
the government is it's basically hurricane level money that's going in.
And we'll see if it has to come back or not.
Oh uh, football games if you enjoy watching football. Amy
knows about this because she is involved in this. Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
I am not involved in this, but you know how
this reminded me that, you know, when you go to
a football game or a baseball game, and you would
hear the PA announswer say, anybody who throws.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Objects on the field will be ejected.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Well, they're doing it, and that's they threw a sex
toy out onto the field at the Cleveland Browns game,
right in front of the Dog Pound apparently. And this
is a trend that started with w NBA games a
couple months ago, and it's continuing and moving over to
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It's now it's going to die a very quick death
because those sex toy sex toys are expensive.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
You're saying it's a waste of.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Money, A waste of money. I just think they're just
very expensive. Amy am I right? Aren't they expensive?
Speaker 6 (25:49):
I don't know, Bill, Oh, come on, you would know
better than I.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
She's right there. Hey, uh is it different like Lokia
Will's face?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Is it the mail one at the WNBA and then
like a flashlight or something for the NFL?

So in any case, uh, so we were and there
was so much fast food and my car was filled
to the brim with wrappers that her diving coach said,

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well you did say hi to me already, but good morning. Okay,
that's a mighty arrow. Do it twice, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I'll do it twice. That's fine. I was on a.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Plane, Bill, I was in Las Vegas switching planes and
people were watching that game and they wouldn't get off
the plane because they were watching it on the Wi Fi.
And the flight attendants were like, you gotta go, people,
you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It was it was that good. It was that good.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yep, it was it was is that good. It was
just a crazy, crazy ass game. Okay, we have a
fair amount talk about today. A couple of things that
are going on in of course, you know, the political
games that are happening in Washington, A couple of things.
I don't understand what the Trump administration is doing. I
just don't get it. I mean, I don't get it.
(04:20):
But then this one, I really don't get it. Where
where's the upside here?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
The rules have changed.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It used to be that if the planes were delayed
over three hours, you would get compensation. All of that
is gone gone. Rules changed completely. Also, junk fees which
were not allowed that all the fees had to be
put onto the ticket. That's all gone too. Airlines can
now throw whatever junk fees they want.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I mean, you just remove those. Those are like two
of the things you can point at. I know that
that's worthy. That's my that's my question.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
What is the upside here? What is the upside? I
don't get it. But yeah, there's a lot that I
don't get obviously, m okay, A lot of people came
up to me, by the way, Uh oh, so Lindsay
was there. You know, Lindsay's a couple of years younger
and I am, huh, just a couple so She's in
(05:23):
front of some ladies who didn't know that she was there,
and they were going, well, you know, she's all she's
in it for the money, you know that. And and
she turns around and goes, you're talking about me, and
so yeah, that's right. Well here's the fun part is
she actually has more money than I do.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
She does not have more money than you do.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
She certainly that you you protest too much, just say yeah,
so what oh I do it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
But it's true she has more money. Her parents have money.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, but she's the only she is the only thing.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
They may give it to a charity. You don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I've already had I've had conversations with them. Now just
stop with that.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
She married you for your money. Be proud of it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah. Well, that's the other thing I can say is
that's God running around.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It's absolutely correct.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
That's I'm running around without the burden knowing that my
wife married me for my looks. I listen, I'm not
gonna make up some sort of stupid story about it.
I know, I get it. I see my reflection. Okay,
I know why you should just own it. Okay, I'm
a piece of meat to her, big whoop.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Okay, we'll go there. Okay, fair enough, Thank you for that, Neil.
Neil's actually perspected that. Yeah, perspective way is just to
admit it. Go, that's absolutely correct. Whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
We just have to own it. Bill, We're hunks of
meat to them.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I love She calls you her adonnas and it cracks
me up every day.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
She does not call me her adonnas to me, she
does really Ada's yeah and forth, she's that's just a
screw with you, Neil. You know that, don't you. Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I love it. I'm sweet.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
All right, enough of that, enough, enough of that, all right?
And Neil chooses the question on ask handle anything. That's
the part that's depressing, all.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Right, are you asking them?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Are you guys ready to do that? Are you guys
ready to do some news? Everybody, let's do it. Handle
on the news with Amy, Neil and me lead story.
The biggest dare attack of the war, Russia hitting Ukraine. Wow,
it just hasn't stopped. And when we talk about the
(07:41):
biggest attack of the war, yesterday was the biggest attack
of the war, and all of a sudden, two days
later it's the biggest attack of the war. Then comes
the biggest attack of the war. Can you imagine what
the magnitude of all of this is. And if you
remember this was supposed to be a peace conference in Alaska,
(08:03):
there is going to be no peace. Putin is not
going to cut this deal unless until he gets Eastern
Ukraine period done. Until then, it's going to just keep
on going and going and going.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Do you think he's going to escalate to even worse damage?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, he'll do with the He'll
try to do what the Israelis are doing to Gaza.
Will he get that close? No, because the Palestinians and
gaz that have no defenses at all, zero, And Israel
has one of the most modern armies with the most
(08:46):
sophisticated weaponry in the world. And Palestinians have no missiles
or they don't have any anti aircraft missiles. They just
can't deal with it. They don't have the training, They
just they don't have the andry. It's just there's just
no chance. Oh you know what it was. It was
I was reading an interesting article about this, and it
(09:09):
was a Hamas leader who was interviewed and was asked
about the fact that does anybody think you've made a
mistake when you attacked Israel, and he said, not only no,
but they're all willing to die as martyrs for the cause.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And Israel's willing to make that happen.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Yeah, for sure, SEMO needs money.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Santa Monica City leaders are going to be meeting tomorrow
and are being asked to declare a fiscal emergency because
they just don't have enough money. They've got a budget
of four hundred and eighty four point three million dollars
but only expecting four hundred and seventy three point five
million in revenue. And a big chunk of this, apparently
(09:59):
is because of all these settlements two hundred and twenty
nine million dollars so far relating to the sexual abuse
of by Eric Euler, who was a former Santa Monica
police dispatcher.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, very special. And Cinemonic is about to declare bankruptcy
and coming up at seven point fifty, I'm going to
talk more about that. Some news about the city declaring bankruptcy.
You'd be surprised how many of these municipalities and states
and counties have declared bankruptcy.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Well, the place as a rat hole now though it's
got so many problems there to begin with. All right,
the carousel that I'm very familiar with in Griffith Park.
If you know the story of Walt Disney, you know this.
As a matter of fact, the original seat, the park
bench where Disney sat watching his daughter that inspired Disneyland
(10:55):
is at Disneyland, and this is referred to as the
crown jewel of the park there. Right, So Walt Disney
dreamt up Disneyland at the carousel there in Griffith Park,
and since what twenty twenty two, I think it hasn't
been working.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, because there's a whole story here. Who owns it,
who doesn't? But the city is buying it and it
was coming. Yeah, I mean it's nothing, but the restoration
is going to be some serious kind.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I tried running it for a while and.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I'm doing that at seven twenty. And I have a
great KFI story connected with the uh the carousel we
used to take.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Back there all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh all right, well you still we still have a
great KFI stories Phenolal, That wasn't it? I know fact
that I took back there. No, it wasn't close, but close.
I will do that at seven twenty. It's a fun
story you're gonna love it.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Real life wedding crasher caught. So remember we told you
about this guy who went to a wedding in Glendale, Eding.
We actually went to the reception and was there for
quite a while, wandered around, mingled with the wedding reception people,
and then it gets caught on video. He grabs a
box full of presents like gift cards and checks in
(12:22):
cash and takes off.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Well. Police have arrested this guy.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
He was picked up in his home in Sherman Oaks
on Thursday, and then the guy who is accused of
being his getaway driver was also arrested.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
They went to the houses.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
And searched them and they found weapons, drugs, and let's
say twenty six checks, about ten thousand in cash. They
think that they stole about sixty thousand dollars worth of it.
And neither one of these guys had criminal records.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And that's what they do. I think the wedding is
probably Iranian. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Pro Armenian, Yeah,
maybe Armenian. And they just do that. You talk about
these cultures. They give a pile of money to the
bride and groom. That's simply the way they simply the
way weddings run.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
They got to hit up bar mitzvahu.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, and not if they're Armenian, No, they don't hit.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Or No, I'm just saying that there's you know.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Cash, You're saying that bad guys should hit a bar mitzvah. Yeah,
are you suggesting that?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No, I'm just thinking like if Cono and I were
on the lamb, like what and I'm like, don't know
me in this please, no, noboddy, somebody's got to drive
the car.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'll tell you. Yeah. The people that my daughters bought
bitzvah that didn't work out well in terms of how
much they got, not even a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Really, Yeah, all.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Right, let's do one more.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
All right, Pope Leo in the news, he's got this
you hear about this computer whiz Carlo Kudis. He's the
first millennial saint. They actually referred to him as God's influencer,
and a website documented a so called eucharistic miracle. This
young man used to pray for hours. Fifteen year old
(14:15):
kid would pray for hours in front of the Eucharist,
which is something that is not totally normal in the
Catholic Church. But he died in two thousand and six
during an open air mass, and he has been canonized
as a saint.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And I'm not particularly familiar with the Catholic Church, as
you know, but there have to be what is it,
three miracles attributed to him before he can be beatified
and then move into the sainthood.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
So that's a miracle, is you know, miracles are depends
how you want to describe what a miracle is.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Imp what normally is people where science cannot describe coming
back or living. I mean, there's a whole thing. They
have doctors. I mean, it's a big deal in the
Catholic Church. But I'll tell you one thing. I have
never seen God come back and grow a limb on
someone as a miracle that I've never.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You prayed for your limb.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I've seen that on I've seen that on salamanders, but
I've never seen that on a human being. That's a miracle.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
The kid, by the way, he was diagnosed with a
cute leukemia and.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Died within days according to this story.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
All right, so South Korea is going to come pick
up their citizens. More than three hundred South Korean workers
were detained in a massive immigration rate at a Hyundai
plant in Georgia last week.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
They're going to be.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Released, and South Korea says there it's going to charter
a plane to bring its workers home.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You don't think of South Korean's being illegal migrants. That's
just not a group that comes to mind. But I
guess they worked at a Hyundai plant. Now, I think
Hyundai is saying that these were they worked for another party,
a contract company. They didn't work directly from for Hyundai,
(16:18):
because that would have been, to say a little bit,
uh in the least embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
And look at it just seems like a way to
protect yourself by just always hiring from a second contractor.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You know, and it's it's hot and over there and
you work at the plan is the dog days of summer,
and let's move on.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
All right.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
This one goes into the Bill handle Wind column President
Donald Trump. You know, they're saying that he and his
top at political advisors in his I don't know cronies
are plotting aggressively to push out a Republican adversary, Representative
(17:02):
Thomas Massey. Of course, you've heard a Handle talk about
the fact if you're not stepping in line with you know,
if you're not forming, you're against me type stuff. Speaker
of Mike Johnson, his leadership team sending very clear signals.
Apparently that says this guy needs to be tossed out
of Northeastern Kentucky district. He's representative for thirteen years because
(17:27):
he is not in lockstep.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
He wants to get those on the Epstein files out.
The president doesn't, and the President's made it very clear
if you in the legislature vote for the Epstein files
to be released, that the government has you are an
enemy and I'm going to do everything I can to
primary you out. You are going to lose.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I have a weird theory, and I want people to
know this is just a theory.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But I want to hear your feedback. Bell.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
What if he's not protecting himself as much as may
he's protecting Millenia. Maybe she was tied into Epstein in
a different way, And what if yes, he was good
friends with him and they were very very close, but
he wasn't into them.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I don't know. But I wonder if he's trying
to protect someone.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Else on social media.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, I'll tell you no, but I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I mean, I've seen memes about her and Epstein, but
I'll tell you why, because I still believe if Biden
had information on Trump and the Biden administration, they would
have released it. But if it's information on her, that
would have been seen as tacky or I don't know.
(18:43):
I just I wonder if maybe it's more about her
than it is about him.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I've never saw the theory. Okay, I that never entered
my mind. Okay, fair enough, And his amy points out
there are means, but there are beings about everything. All
you have to do is come up with one crazy
ass theory and all of a sudden, the Internet explodes.
Except some are you know, they come out to be legitimate,
(19:10):
even the crazy theories. We found out that there really
was a room under that Chicago pizza parlor where the
Democratic leadership were molesting young children.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
If you're going to hide that, hide that in a
pizza shop, I'd never know.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Kamala's on her own sort of.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
So remember her Secret Service protection that was extended by
President Biden was pulled by President Trump. So La said, okay,
we'll help. So the LAPD and the CHP. We're going
to be providing her security. That was criticized just a
little bit, and I'm being facetious. So LAPD now says
(19:57):
it has discontinued its protection of the form.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
I'm or vice president.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, I want it on the record.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I told you it was Karen Bass that made the
decision for the LAPD to protect Kamala Harris. Another bonehead
move by Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I told you, I told you, I told you.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
C HP is one thing, but LAPD, we don't have
enough cops and you're going to put them on her.
It's just we are only moving based on what Trump does.
Will do the opposite whatever it is. You know, you've
got new sube.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That's why this is why the Democrats lost in the
last election, because the Democrats, instead of putting together a
vision of where America would go should go under their leadership,
the whole premise was anti Trump.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
That was on us anymore.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's correct, And you know, she's not worried about what
happens to us and our safety. She's worried about the
you know, countering. They're playing tic tac toe with the
president in the United States instead of giving a rats
ass about what's going on on our own streets.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, the President's going to win because the president is
a lot better at tic tac Toe than Karen bass Is.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
All Right, there will be rain and there will be weather,
but hopefully not so bad. If you've been if you
were listening to Wake Up Call with Aim King this
morning preceding the show here, Hurricane Kiko was is forecasted
to weaken there in Central Pacific as it approaches Hawaii
(21:30):
this week. So the hurricane hit at a Category four
strength but is slowly weakening in recent days. So fingers
crossed that it only brings you know, wind and rain,
but nothing to.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Well still like threatening surf and rip currents, but no
direct Yeah, but you could stay out of the water, right,
and she's gonna get a lot of rain. Yeah, as
opposed to a direct hit. I mean, direct hits are
no fun. Look at what happened with New Orleans and
Hurricane Katrina.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Looks like lawmakers say they've got the votes they need.
Last week, several of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors came together and
stood on the steps of Capitol Hill, demanding Congress stop
playing games, stop protecting the rich and powerful and pass
the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It was put up by
(22:28):
California's Rocanna and Kentucky's Thomas Massey. We mentioned earlier that
now Trump's going after him. The act would require the
Justice Department, the FBI, the Treasury Department, and national security
agencies to unseal and release everything they have on Epstein.
And they're saying this morning that they do have enough
support to pass this.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, this was a little different. The President has called
this a hoax, the whole thing. And when you get
a dozen women up there who argue and successfully argue
with complete ability that they were molested as minors, not
even with Trump supporters, that certainly with females. I don't
(23:10):
care how Ardent a Trump supporter or someone is. That
this one is a different animal. This one crosses a
line that politics heretofore has not crossed. So Mike Johnson
is doing everything of corners to shut it down because
that's what President Trump wants them to do. And oh
(23:30):
and they're arguing that thirty thousand pages have already been released.
They were already in the public domain. This is the
stuff that people want.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Do we know how many pages there are bill across
the board, and what percentage that would be of no idea.
All right, Treasury Department might have to give back some money,
give them in the form of rebates.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
This is all.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
If Supreme Court upholds the ruling the President Donald Trump's
reciprocal tariffs that we've heard so much about, if those
are seen as an overstep of power, then this Treasure
Secretary Scott Bessent, you know, basically said we have to
do it.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
The court says we give back half the money. You
have to give them back.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, half the money we have to give back. Yeah,
about fifty percent. And one of the things about tariffs,
as much as we bitch and moan, which I'm part
of bitching and moaning, because it really is affecting consumers
and businesses, the government is awash with money because the
tariffs go to the government, and the money coming into
(24:41):
the government is it's basically hurricane level money that's going in.
And we'll see if it has to come back or not.
Oh uh, football games if you enjoy watching football. Amy
knows about this because she is involved in this. Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
I am not involved in this, but you know how
this reminded me that, you know, when you go to
a football game or a baseball game, and you would
hear the PA announswer say, anybody who throws.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Objects on the field will be ejected.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Well, they're doing it, and that's they threw a sex
toy out onto the field at the Cleveland Browns game,
right in front of the Dog Pound apparently. And this
is a trend that started with w NBA games a
couple months ago, and it's continuing and moving over to
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It's now it's going to die a very quick death
because those sex toy sex toys are expensive.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
You're saying it's a waste of.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Money, A waste of money. I just think they're just
very expensive. Amy am I right? Aren't they expensive?
Speaker 6 (25:49):
I don't know, Bill, Oh, come on, you would know
better than I.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
She's right there. Hey, uh is it different like Lokia
Will's face?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Is it the mail one at the WNBA and then
like a flashlight or something for the NFL?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Or Oh what ask Cono?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Oh yeah, ConA knows this stuff.
