Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handle
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
F thirty two years ago today, KFI settled for a
failed lawyer with barely any experience to fill up some
airtime while we figured out who the real.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Host was going to be. That man was Bill Handle,
and we're still on the fence.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You're listening to the thirty second anniversary celebration of Bill
Handle on KFI, which is a lot like any other.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Day, but at least there's KKE and now Handle on
the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle, KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Bill Handle here, good morning on July sixteenth, Wednesday, and
thank you for the promo. First of all, it's wrong.
It's not thirty two years here at KFI. KFI was
I think it was April of nineteen eighty nine when
KFI flipped from a big band to talk. I was
there the first week, last man standing, and thirty two
(01:18):
years in the morning.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Bye, that's a lifetime.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So anyway, thank you, and just a quick a quick
statement here. The reason we are celebrating thirty two years
is we're getting free Brince Deli, a free Brince Deli
platter of locks and bagels and the whole Schmeer thirty
(01:42):
June years.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's true. Oh yeah, so can't wait for that, Mazzle Cross.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's yeah, okay, so we're not going to do the
congratulations stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Why because it's don't pretend. Are you one of those
guys that puts your foot oh shut? But it's like
if nobody says to eat, it's like nobody said no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know, I'm really one of those people. I'm not Neil.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You know this. I'm not overly impressed with myself and
I am not overly impressed with being behind the mic,
behind the mic.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's one thing that just so pisches me off.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Is that there are people who are behind the mic
and somehow that gives them credibility more so than anybody else.
I don't get it. But then it kind of question
of no self esteem too that are allowed.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
To deal with it.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, that's you've spoken like somebody with low self esteem
that needs the esteem of others. Oh, by the way,
you're paying for Brent's today, right, because you don't think
you're above anybody else in the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Doesn't matter and you're just Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No, there's two things, two things going on. First of all,
the philosophy of radio, which I've mentioned many, many times, Neil,
and that is, if you cannot get it for free
or wholesale, you just don't need it.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's for starters, okay. And it's Brent's.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I have been eating at Brent's since I have been
a teenager. That's how long Brens has been part of
my life. And for real, I mean, I'm good friends
with Ronnie Paskin.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The owner of Brent's. Nice man, very.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Nice man, and runs a deli unlike any anybody else.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It's spectacular. Yeah, it's one of the it's.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I think it's best deli in southern California by a
long shot. And it is also it Zaggots I think
one year gave it the best.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Deli in America.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And Zaggets only cares about New York Deli's for some reason.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh yeah, it was like that for a long time too.
New York done.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Nothing compares to well, some compared to, but not very good.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Did you do like the twenty three and me DNA
test and you were like forty six percent to deli
once they broke it down yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So anyway, we're going to get Brent's Deli food and
am I going to pitch Brent's Yeah, because it's worthwhile going.
They're in Northridge and they're out in west Lake and
it's a destination deli. Okay, you just can't go if
you're not circumcised, all right, because they check at the door.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, but they do, like those places that have ties,
they do have a moil at the door.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You could still enjoy your day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, yes, and the other philosophy, basic philosophy. Never eat
calamari at day bris Okay. Oh, and it's getting a
little upset anyway. Good morning there we are, Neil, good morning.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Good morning, Willie Wolf, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Thank you, Ann, who is just finishing vomiting right now,
Good morning, Good morning, Amy, good morning.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Good morning and congratulations.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh stop it please sucks.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh gosh, I am really an shucks guy. And uh
Will is out there. Will, I just Will had just
come in. Good morning Will, Good morning Bill, and congratulats.
Oh stop it, Kno, if you say congratulations, you are
not going to have one slice of locks.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Good morning Bill.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
But I will say the only reason I took this
job was because I got to work on the Bill
Handle show. Oh, I drive an hour. I drive an
hour and I get paid peanuts. That's true, literally, and
not even the good ones. I know they're not salted
skins on. But my mom remembers when the station flipped
(05:27):
and she heard you. So I've been listening to you
since before I was born. Just so you know, wow,
wow in the boom. This is why I'm working here,
just so you know this reason.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
You know, and he's not the only one. You know
that you're the reason why I came here too.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's for the food. No.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I came here because I was already doing Christian radio
at the time, and I was listening to you during
the north Ridge earthquake and I was a fan. I'd
listened to you anyways, but that was the day listening
to you pop in because of the earthquake before or five,
but a quarter to five or something that I said
I want to I was even doing a Coast to
(06:06):
Coast show and I said I want to go work
there and came here, dropped all that and came here
as an intern and started working with you.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
As It's very sweet now, Amy, you had no idea
who the hell I was when you came aboard, correct,
And it's just by accident you happen to be here.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
My mom my mom is up in Medford and in Oregon,
and she knew you because of the handle on the.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Last show your people come up.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And I'll tell you what drives me completely nuts is
someone will be in their twenties thirties and go, hey,
your bill handle recognize me? Or someone points me out.
I go, hey, my parents just love you. I go,
how about your grandparents? Oh, they love you even more.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
My grandma does love you. See I rest my bringing
chuckles to a Walita's Yeah, and is it?
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Uh? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
In next year, I have my birthday's coming up next
month and I've I'm thirty two years thirty two years old. Yes,
I started doing this at birth. Okay, anyways, very gracious,
and everybody, this will be the last time we mentioned this.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, you're not proud.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean, you've got to start on the freaking Walk
of fame, and you know, a Marconi Listen, you're an
ass and you're.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Not likable, you know, but I understand that's impressive.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But I have to tell you and this is and
this is legitimate, Okay, I do think I'm good, Okay,
not great. I think I am good. I'm a good
journeyman talk show host that I am. Okay, I'm not
gonna lie about that. You know, I know what I'm doing.
I've been at it a long time. But a lot
of it has to do a lot of success. I
think in talk radio is that everybody else is so
(07:54):
bad and when everybody else sucks.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, but their talk station in the country, so it's
not like they suck.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So you know, everybody sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I've often said, if I were to become program director,
which of course is never gonna happen, I would fire
everybody on this station and put me on probation.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh I would have fired you first, exactly. All Right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
We took the entire segment talking about this, and we
are going to take the next segment talking about this too.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Why not the news of the day. Yeah, it's big
news of the day. Try he's gonna do He's gonna
do a big parade, right, and he's gonna and pushing
the button.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
World War Tree, World War three starts today, and we're
going to talk about this.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, okay, guys, I will Oh, by the way, let
me tell you about the star. Okay, uh people, Oh
my god, it's a star. Let me tell you it's location, location, location.
If you're in front of the pantagios, you're in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
If you're in.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Front of where my star is, you're in south central LA.
And some homeless guy is peeing on the star. And
I am not exaggerating either. You're in East Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
All right, all right?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
News handle on, yeah, thank you handling the news with
Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Two thousand National Guardsmen being withdrawn from LA. The Pentagon
says they just ran out of ammunition in shooting everybody,
so I don't need him anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Just it was just this whole thing has been so nuts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Forty seven hundred Guard National Garden active duty Marines to
quote protect the federal building and to stop the rebellion
that was going on, the attempted to overthrow over the
federal government.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Come on, guys, but that's what we're getting, so at
least that part's going to out.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Police say they got their guy, and arrest has been
made in the shootings of an award winning American Idol
music supervisor and her husband. We first heard about this
yesterday morning, that two people had been shot in their
home in Encino, and it turns out that it was
(10:23):
Robin Kay, who had been with American Idol since they
believe two thousand and nine, and her husband Tom de Luca.
She officials say that Robin had been a corner stone
of the Idle family since nine and was truly loved
and respected by all who came in contact with her.
They think that they're they're still investigating, but it looks
(10:43):
like the guy got into their house and had been
there for about a half an hour. Then they came
home and that's when the shooting happened.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Their address is probably half a mile from the Persian Palace.
I drove by their address constantly going down.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And he was a musician or something. Good looking guy too,
a lot of hair, very attractive couple, but he but
I think he was a musician. I think he's better
looking than she was. What what's okay?
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Just you know, okay, okay. Thirty two years.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Memo declining to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey
Epstein speaks for itself, so says A G. BONDI you know,
Trump is really backing her. He said that Bondi has
not told him that his name appears in the Epstein files,
despite previous accusations from you know, ex Trump, l I,
(11:40):
Elon Musk. And the interesting thing he said, he said, no, no, no,
She's given just a very quick briefing. This was something
that he said was very important. Right yet and you're
the president and you only got a quick briefing about it.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
This is splitting Magaga supporter.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah, because they say there's no transparency.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, it's because the morcas Burgers want that list because
it's deep state stuff. They want to go and find
out who is there Democrats who are on that list.
Problem is, and I have a question that wouldn't there
be just as many or if not more Republicans that
(12:19):
would be on the list. And what is the list?
Is that anybody who ever went to dinner with him?
I mean, the guy knew everybody.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Their pictures of him with Clinton, with Trump, with everybody.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Isn't there some phone book I don't know if you've
seen this amy, but a phone book or something that
was out for a while where it just has a
bunch of rich people's numbers on it, but it doesn't like, say,
you know, flight logs or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, I mean this is not Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Where there he is his arm around a fourteen year
old in the doorway of the Epstein House in New York.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I mean, I think these are people that just knew him.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Trump has a picture of him laughing with with Epstein.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
And weren't they looking for flight logs from the airline
flights to some fantasy island.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, that's islands Island.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Epstein has his own island, and he would fly people
there and do all the crazy ass stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You know, Bill Clinton's on there. Didn't he flew that
plane a bunch of times?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
There's no evidence of that.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, Oh, come on, except Bill Clinton. Look at his face.
That's true. I know.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I'm just saying, there's no evidence.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I did not have sex with that plane. Yes,
but that stewardess, but that one't yet.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Even as big as backers are pushing back, some of
President Trump's most loyal allies in Congress are not satisfied
with that decision to not release the additional files in
the Epstein case. Of course, the White House team has
been trying to shift public attention away from it yesterday,
Trump said, you're still talking about that. But House Speaker
Mike Johnson has become the high ranking Republican to say
(14:01):
he too wants to see more details from that investigation.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, they're dancing around this one.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And it's interesting how President Trump is deflecting this when
he says, who cares about Epstein anymore?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
This is a guy who doesn't matter. It's not about Epstein.
It's who was with Epstein and with those fourteen year olds.
That's the issue.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Yeah, it's bizarre to flip on that the way.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh, it's gonna be fascinating.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I just can't Is there a little I don't think
a list even exists, or if this is when crazy
is collide.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, I'd be interested.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And if it does exist, I'm guessing it's pretty benign.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
That's my guess. I may be wrong on there's no trail,
no evidence with that many people going to that island.
With that, Oh, there may very well be evidence of
people going to that island.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The trick is how connected are they to these fourteen
year olds or these eighteen year old hookers?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That is the issue.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Let's say you.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Were just bringing all though you bring in all those
eighteen year old uh women in or all of those
underage women. You're bringing them to an island, and he's
the only one that's diddling. I'm not arguing that one.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
What I'm saying is is every time he had guests
at the island, were there women there? And I'm willing
to bet sometimes they didn't diddle?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
As you say. All I'm saying, And by the way,
who diddles?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
All I'm saying is if you pull up a massive
catering truck there's probably a party inside.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Is that a verb?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
By the way, I think it is diddling to diddle,
to have diddled, we will have diddled, we shall delve
we were diddling. Also could be could be an adjective,
a diddling fool.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I was not going to call you that.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Okay, you're the band on KF five thirty two years
have coming down in the pinelhangle here it's Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You doing you're not listening to the song No Nica lidvies.
But you told you have No case.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Has happened.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, he can just mention the wish now on the radio.
Doesn't hold a candle to the thirty two years of
Bill Hender Oh my god. Who is who did this
scut out? Is Eric Losardo.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
He is a station listener and an incredibly talented guy.
You can find out more at Eric Losardo l I
s a r d O dot com. Very talented, incredibly
nice guy. And it's been a listening to the station.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And I apologize for not paying attention when Cono drops
music because I don't think I ever pay attention.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
When Mileso said listen to it before, I didn't hear that.
That's why he came on.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You guysn't listening when you said listen.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, it was not when you said listening to this,
come on. In case you haven't guessed it yet, I
don't do a whole lot of listening to you. But
that's kind of neat. We have to, you know, which,
play it out again so I can actually hear it.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
He no, he are.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
You're the man on K five thirty two years have
come and gown and the pink open hand on the
news every day.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
You can never be replaced.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
And his margin no legal advice, but you told you
have no case honors that a.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Walty has happened. Doesn't even just mentions the wist of
now dame on the radio, doesn't hold a candle to
the thirty two years old Bill Handle now come around. Yeah, wow,
that is good. That's very very talented, very talented guy.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah, when I go to prison, I want him to
write a song that would be absolutely terrific. Really, yeah,
I think so. That's very talented. Oh just a little
bit of history. Wayne Resnik, who is on our show
for years and years and years, got a job here
because he wrote a song like that for Joe Crummy
(18:13):
when Joe Crummy was here.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yes, he sent in a song about Joe Crummy and
they brought him in and before I know it, he
was working here.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Well, doctor Laura, she became doctor Laura. She would call in.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
She would do a call in because a guy by
name of Bill Balance who had a show who he
sort of did a women's you know call in, especially
if you're a psycho bitch show, and Laura would.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Call just as a caller.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And she was so good that he had her as
a guest, and then she got her own show, and
then of course she exploded as a national figure.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
As they dated too, right, they had a relationship. I
don't know if they I think they might have.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, they might have had a relationship, much like Wayne
and I had a relationship.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Oh yeah, okay, gross completely all right, Mary, it's gonna
be a weird morning.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I'll tell you that right now, lotty history this morning
we have to go through. And so for those of
you that are bored, silly, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I love when you say stuff like that, is if
every show is so pristine and focused, yes, and then oh,
every once in a while it just gets out of hand.
It's like, what, when has the show been focused?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Once? Nine to eleven? Yeah, nine to eleven, that was it? Once? Once? Once?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Okay, Wow, we're going we're zipping through these stories. More
handle on the news, Neil and Amy me.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
So, Trump gave an ultimatum to Moscow, as we know,
to sign the ceasefire deal at the end to end
the war in Ukraine with fifty days, and President Vladimir Putin,
I'm going to have to translate this indeed.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Responded with that he did, and he said yet.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And it turns out that for some reason, I don't
know why, Trump thought that Putin was going to live
up to his word or actually engage in peace.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
He's not interested at all.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Putin's just better than Trump is at these kinds of negotiations.
And even Trump said, you know, he comes off of
a nice guy. He appears to be reasonable, but in
the end nothing And.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Well he looks at Trump he goes, listen, I know
you want to be a dictator, but I am.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's true, that's true. All right, I think we can
do a couple more before you take a break.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Republicans have backed off a bit, but is it enough.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
The White House has backed off four hundred million dollars
in proposed cuts to global AIDS programs. The Senate Republicans
had a nine point four billion dollars spending bill. They're
trying to claw back all this money that's already been allocated.
It's all tied to DOGE and so they took out
the four.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Hundred million.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
And put it back in.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Put it back in.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Now the Senate would have to pass that, but that's
still iffy. And if that gets done, then it goes
back to the House and has to get passed, and
then all what is at stake here is nine billion
dollars in USAID funding and one billion dollars in public
broadcasting funding and the deadline is Friday.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, I can see we're going to talk at more
about the public broadcasting. I can understand the politics of that,
you know, on one side or the other, and the bias,
which of course PBS does have against Trump and Republicans.
But taking away AIDS money so people don't die of
AIDS that's a tougher one.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
So they're backing off of that.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, they are. That's the point.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's the point I'm saying is the politics of the
NPR money is legitimate, backing off a money is not.
And I think they're realizing the politics are not too.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Good that NPR when you look at the you know,
the landscape. Most am talk radio is conservative across the contract.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So but just as balance, No, but conservative am talk
radio does not get funding from the government.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's the difference.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
NPR is in many big chunk of NPR money. PBS
money is government money. That's that's the difference. And they're right,
it's biased. It is.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Okay, we're done thirty two years, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All right, today we celebrate thirty two years of Bill
Handle on KFI and celebrate.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I mean, we mentioned it. There's not a party or anything.
I mean, geez, we're talking about Bill Handle here. Oh man,
look at my life. You know, I think there's a
theme going on this morning.
Speaker 1 (23:05):

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Oh, thanks, Todd. Oh do you know that I'm going
to see you for dinner on the twenty six.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Yeah, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about how
you insulted the heck out of me when my cousin
Nancy called on the air to get legal advice from you.
I don't know if you remember, but you told my
cousin really right on your ride listening handling the law
of about five people on Saturday morning, you literally told
(24:45):
my cousin Nancy, oh, you're related to Todd Spitzer. He's
either going to be President of the United States or
convicted child molester. You know what you did to my career, Bill,
I mean you tube my entire career. Yeah, comment, I
just want you to know.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
That I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I've got I have Todd Spitzer stories that I could
do an hour on you, Todd of how we met.
A lot of people don't know that you screened for
me on handle on the law before you were elected
as started with Orange County Supervisor. And now you know
you've been in state government. Now you you have your
(25:24):
your dream job, DA because you can put you can
put people away, and uh you do it with impunity.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
No one can tell you not to do it. That's
a great gig.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Bill, listen to me now that you you know, now
that you've told my cousin, you know you you did
what you did. You defame me literally on the air,
and you live in Orange County. I just I have
instructed every law enforcement officer to be on the lookout
for your car.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, unfortunately it's true. By the way, uh, Todd.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Being an attorney yourself, you are a public figure. I
can say almost anything about you.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
But anyways, well, Bill, what what stopped you? You've literally
said everything about true is true.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's true? All right, Todd, thank you for calling.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
I congratulation, Thank you, career with a pretty thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Thanks. You know, I did say that about Todd what's
wrong with you? I did?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
He was either going to be elected president? Of course
he was. He has been in an elected office for
twenty five years. And he's a great public servant. He
really is guy's I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
He's doing great things in Orange County.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, I mean he is a crazy, uncorruptible. He's the
hardest working guy. And people said, oh, you're friends with
Todd Spitzer, you know, and you boy, you know you
get all kinds of benefits by being friends with Todd.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And I said, let me tell you the reality of Todd.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
If I got a traffic ticket Orange County and I
were to call Todd, and I have a cell number
and I can call him anytime and call him at home.
And I were to say, Todd, can you help me
this out? Can you help me out with this traffic ticket?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
He literally had.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Say, Bill, the only reason I am not arresting you
right now for trying to bribe a public official is
that I know you. This will be the last time
you ask that. Is how completely uncorruptible?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Were you embarrassed when you did that? Of course, not
what did he screen for you or something he did
screened on handle of the law. He was what my
screener years before he ran for office, were you the
reason why he wanted to do good law? I know,
because I will do. I know we're having a weird
day to day.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But a quick Todd Spitzer story when he ran for office,
as he asked me to host his first fundraiser or
speak to his first fundraiser and introduce him, and I
was kind of honored, And he said, Bill, I want
to tell you, there are a lot of conservative, very
religious people that are there at this fundraiser. And he
(27:55):
said at that time he was Jewish. And Todd said,
you know, I I am Jewish, but you know I
don't make a big deal out of it, you know,
so please soft pedal the issue. And I looked at
him and he said I shouldn't have asked you, should I?
And I said nope, And so as I was as
I introduced Todd, I said, ladies and gentlemen, Todd, who
(28:17):
I've known for years, started my screener now as a friend,
will be a phenomenal Orange County supervisor. And I am
honored to introduce him. It is fun first fundraiser, Ladies
and gentlemen, I want to introduce Todd the Jew Spitzer.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
And he just over there like shaking his head. He
can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And then I got into it with three nuns arguing
how Jesus does not exist, actually, how God does not exist?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Was yeah, it was. It was a great morning. Yeah,
I'm sure it was. The food was good. Uh huh.
Todd the Jew Spitzer, I want to see that. I
want to see that on a lawn side.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
He's done he's done running. He has his dream job
and he'll be he'll retire at it. And he's uh,
he's he has been in his mind law enforcement and
he has he was a reserve police officer. I mean,
he's got a huge background and uh just a and
he people get emails from him four o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
The guy does not stop working and uh he's terrific,
he is. Okay, we're done. Oh did we actually get
six stories?
Speaker 1 (29:36):

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Sure, why not? So and let me do this. Do
we go into topics?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Uh? Do we finish handle on the news. It's one
of those weird days. What what do we do?
Speaker 8 (29:48):

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yeah? I kind of like that Etsy witches Witch? You

Speaker 3 (30:07):
So let's do a seven to Yeah, listened to the seven.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
AM segment on news and get some news stories and
then we'll kick in with the stories.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
All right, it's weird day to day. I don't already
just nod and smile. All right, this is KF I
am six. You've been listening to the Bill handle Show.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Catch My Show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
You're listening to KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handle
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
F thirty two years ago today, KFI settled for a
failed lawyer with barely any experience to fill up some
airtime while we figured out who the real.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Host was going to be. That man was Bill Handle,
and we're still on the fence.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You're listening to the thirty second anniversary celebration of Bill
Handle on KFI, which is a lot like any other.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Day, but at least there's KKE and now Handle on
the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle, KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Bill Handle here, good morning on July sixteenth, Wednesday, and
thank you for the promo. First of all, it's wrong.
It's not thirty two years here at KFI. KFI was
I think it was April of nineteen eighty nine when
KFI flipped from a big band to talk. I was
there the first week, last man standing, and thirty two
(01:18):
years in the morning.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Bye, that's a lifetime.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So anyway, thank you, and just a quick a quick
statement here. The reason we are celebrating thirty two years
is we're getting free Brince Deli, a free Brince Deli
platter of locks and bagels and the whole Schmeer thirty
(01:42):
June years.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's true. Oh yeah, so can't wait for that, Mazzle Cross.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's yeah, okay, so we're not going to do the
congratulations stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Why because it's don't pretend. Are you one of those
guys that puts your foot oh shut? But it's like
if nobody says to eat, it's like nobody said no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know, I'm really one of those people. I'm not Neil.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You know this. I'm not overly impressed with myself and
I am not overly impressed with being behind the mic,
behind the mic.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's one thing that just so pisches me off.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Is that there are people who are behind the mic
and somehow that gives them credibility more so than anybody else.
I don't get it. But then it kind of question
of no self esteem too that are allowed.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
To deal with it.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, that's you've spoken like somebody with low self esteem
that needs the esteem of others. Oh, by the way,
you're paying for Brent's today, right, because you don't think
you're above anybody else in the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Doesn't matter and you're just Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No, there's two things, two things going on. First of all,
the philosophy of radio, which I've mentioned many, many times, Neil,
and that is, if you cannot get it for free
or wholesale, you just don't need it.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's for starters, okay. And it's Brent's.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I have been eating at Brent's since I have been
a teenager. That's how long Brens has been part of
my life. And for real, I mean, I'm good friends
with Ronnie Paskin.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The owner of Brent's. Nice man, very.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Nice man, and runs a deli unlike any anybody else.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It's spectacular. Yeah, it's one of the it's.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I think it's best deli in southern California by a
long shot. And it is also it Zaggots I think
one year gave it the best.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Deli in America.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And Zaggets only cares about New York Deli's for some reason.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh yeah, it was like that for a long time too.
New York done.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Nothing compares to well, some compared to, but not very good.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Did you do like the twenty three and me DNA
test and you were like forty six percent to deli
once they broke it down yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So anyway, we're going to get Brent's Deli food and
am I going to pitch Brent's Yeah, because it's worthwhile going.
They're in Northridge and they're out in west Lake and
it's a destination deli. Okay, you just can't go if
you're not circumcised, all right, because they check at the door.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, but they do, like those places that have ties,
they do have a moil at the door.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You could still enjoy your day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, yes, and the other philosophy, basic philosophy. Never eat
calamari at day bris Okay. Oh, and it's getting a
little upset anyway. Good morning there we are, Neil, good morning.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Good morning, Willie Wolf, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Thank you, Ann, who is just finishing vomiting right now,
Good morning, Good morning, Amy, good morning.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Good morning and congratulations.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh stop it please sucks.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh gosh, I am really an shucks guy. And uh
Will is out there. Will, I just Will had just
come in. Good morning Will, Good morning Bill, and congratulats.
Oh stop it, Kno, if you say congratulations, you are
not going to have one slice of locks.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Good morning Bill.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
But I will say the only reason I took this
job was because I got to work on the Bill
Handle show. Oh, I drive an hour. I drive an
hour and I get paid peanuts. That's true, literally, and
not even the good ones. I know they're not salted
skins on. But my mom remembers when the station flipped
(05:27):
and she heard you. So I've been listening to you
since before I was born. Just so you know, wow,
wow in the boom. This is why I'm working here,
just so you know this reason.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
You know, and he's not the only one. You know
that you're the reason why I came here too.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's for the food. No.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I came here because I was already doing Christian radio
at the time, and I was listening to you during
the north Ridge earthquake and I was a fan. I'd
listened to you anyways, but that was the day listening
to you pop in because of the earthquake before or five,
but a quarter to five or something that I said
I want to I was even doing a Coast to
(06:06):
Coast show and I said I want to go work
there and came here, dropped all that and came here
as an intern and started working with you.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
As It's very sweet now, Amy, you had no idea
who the hell I was when you came aboard, correct,
And it's just by accident you happen to be here.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
My mom my mom is up in Medford and in Oregon,
and she knew you because of the handle on the.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Last show your people come up.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And I'll tell you what drives me completely nuts is
someone will be in their twenties thirties and go, hey,
your bill handle recognize me? Or someone points me out.
I go, hey, my parents just love you. I go,
how about your grandparents? Oh, they love you even more.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
My grandma does love you. See I rest my bringing
chuckles to a Walita's Yeah, and is it?
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Uh? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
In next year, I have my birthday's coming up next
month and I've I'm thirty two years thirty two years old. Yes,
I started doing this at birth. Okay, anyways, very gracious,
and everybody, this will be the last time we mentioned this.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, you're not proud.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean, you've got to start on the freaking Walk
of fame, and you know, a Marconi Listen, you're an
ass and you're.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Not likable, you know, but I understand that's impressive.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But I have to tell you and this is and
this is legitimate, Okay, I do think I'm good, Okay,
not great. I think I am good. I'm a good
journeyman talk show host that I am. Okay, I'm not
gonna lie about that. You know, I know what I'm doing.
I've been at it a long time. But a lot
of it has to do a lot of success. I
think in talk radio is that everybody else is so
(07:54):
bad and when everybody else sucks.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, but their talk station in the country, so it's
not like they suck.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So you know, everybody sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I've often said, if I were to become program director,
which of course is never gonna happen, I would fire
everybody on this station and put me on probation.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh I would have fired you first, exactly. All Right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
We took the entire segment talking about this, and we
are going to take the next segment talking about this too.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Why not the news of the day. Yeah, it's big
news of the day. Try he's gonna do He's gonna
do a big parade, right, and he's gonna and pushing
the button.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
World War Tree, World War three starts today, and we're
going to talk about this.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, okay, guys, I will Oh, by the way, let
me tell you about the star. Okay, uh people, Oh
my god, it's a star. Let me tell you it's location, location, location.
If you're in front of the pantagios, you're in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
If you're in.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Front of where my star is, you're in south central LA.
And some homeless guy is peeing on the star. And
I am not exaggerating either. You're in East Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
All right, all right?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
News handle on, yeah, thank you handling the news with
Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Two thousand National Guardsmen being withdrawn from LA. The Pentagon
says they just ran out of ammunition in shooting everybody,
so I don't need him anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Just it was just this whole thing has been so nuts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Forty seven hundred Guard National Garden active duty Marines to
quote protect the federal building and to stop the rebellion
that was going on, the attempted to overthrow over the
federal government.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Come on, guys, but that's what we're getting, so at
least that part's going to out.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Police say they got their guy, and arrest has been
made in the shootings of an award winning American Idol
music supervisor and her husband. We first heard about this
yesterday morning, that two people had been shot in their
home in Encino, and it turns out that it was
(10:23):
Robin Kay, who had been with American Idol since they
believe two thousand and nine, and her husband Tom de Luca.
She officials say that Robin had been a corner stone
of the Idle family since nine and was truly loved
and respected by all who came in contact with her.
They think that they're they're still investigating, but it looks
(10:43):
like the guy got into their house and had been
there for about a half an hour. Then they came
home and that's when the shooting happened.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Their address is probably half a mile from the Persian Palace.
I drove by their address constantly going down.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And he was a musician or something. Good looking guy too,
a lot of hair, very attractive couple, but he but
I think he was a musician. I think he's better
looking than she was. What what's okay?
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Just you know, okay, okay. Thirty two years.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Memo declining to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey
Epstein speaks for itself, so says A G. BONDI you know,
Trump is really backing her. He said that Bondi has
not told him that his name appears in the Epstein files,
despite previous accusations from you know, ex Trump, l I,
(11:40):
Elon Musk. And the interesting thing he said, he said, no, no, no,
She's given just a very quick briefing. This was something
that he said was very important. Right yet and you're
the president and you only got a quick briefing about it.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
This is splitting Magaga supporter.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah, because they say there's no transparency.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, it's because the morcas Burgers want that list because
it's deep state stuff. They want to go and find
out who is there Democrats who are on that list.
Problem is, and I have a question that wouldn't there
be just as many or if not more Republicans that
(12:19):
would be on the list. And what is the list?
Is that anybody who ever went to dinner with him?
I mean, the guy knew everybody.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Their pictures of him with Clinton, with Trump, with everybody.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Isn't there some phone book I don't know if you've
seen this amy, but a phone book or something that
was out for a while where it just has a
bunch of rich people's numbers on it, but it doesn't like, say,
you know, flight logs or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, I mean this is not Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Where there he is his arm around a fourteen year
old in the doorway of the Epstein House in New York.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I mean, I think these are people that just knew him.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Trump has a picture of him laughing with with Epstein.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
And weren't they looking for flight logs from the airline
flights to some fantasy island.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well, that's islands Island.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Epstein has his own island, and he would fly people
there and do all the crazy ass stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You know, Bill Clinton's on there. Didn't he flew that
plane a bunch of times?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
There's no evidence of that.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, Oh, come on, except Bill Clinton. Look at his face.
That's true. I know.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I'm just saying, there's no evidence.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I did not have sex with that plane. Yes,
but that stewardess, but that one't yet.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Even as big as backers are pushing back, some of
President Trump's most loyal allies in Congress are not satisfied
with that decision to not release the additional files in
the Epstein case. Of course, the White House team has
been trying to shift public attention away from it yesterday,
Trump said, you're still talking about that. But House Speaker
Mike Johnson has become the high ranking Republican to say
(14:01):
he too wants to see more details from that investigation.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, they're dancing around this one.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And it's interesting how President Trump is deflecting this when
he says, who cares about Epstein anymore?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
This is a guy who doesn't matter. It's not about Epstein.
It's who was with Epstein and with those fourteen year olds.
That's the issue.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Yeah, it's bizarre to flip on that the way.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh, it's gonna be fascinating.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I just can't Is there a little I don't think
a list even exists, or if this is when crazy
is collide.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, I'd be interested.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And if it does exist, I'm guessing it's pretty benign.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
That's my guess. I may be wrong on there's no trail,
no evidence with that many people going to that island.
With that, Oh, there may very well be evidence of
people going to that island.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The trick is how connected are they to these fourteen
year olds or these eighteen year old hookers?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That is the issue.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Let's say you.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Were just bringing all though you bring in all those
eighteen year old uh women in or all of those
underage women. You're bringing them to an island, and he's
the only one that's diddling. I'm not arguing that one.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
What I'm saying is is every time he had guests
at the island, were there women there? And I'm willing
to bet sometimes they didn't diddle?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
As you say. All I'm saying, And by the way,
who diddles?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
All I'm saying is if you pull up a massive
catering truck there's probably a party inside.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Is that a verb?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
By the way, I think it is diddling to diddle,
to have diddled, we will have diddled, we shall delve
we were diddling. Also could be could be an adjective,
a diddling fool.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I was not going to call you that.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Okay, you're the band on KF five thirty two years
have coming down in the pinelhangle here it's Wednesday.

You doing you're not listening to the song No Nica lidvies.
But you told you have No case.
Speaker 8 (16:19):

Doesn't hold a candle to the thirty two years of
Bill Hender Oh my god. Who is who did this

Speaker 4 (16:31):
He is a station listener and an incredibly talented guy.
You can find out more at Eric Losardo l I

nice guy. And it's been a listening to the station.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And I apologize for not paying attention when Cono drops
music because I don't think I ever pay attention.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
When Mileso said listen to it before, I didn't hear that.
That's why he came on.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You guysn't listening when you said listen.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, it was not when you said listening to this,
come on. In case you haven't guessed it yet, I
don't do a whole lot of listening to you. But
that's kind of neat. We have to, you know, which,
play it out again so I can actually hear it.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
He no, he are.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
You're the man on K five thirty two years have
come and gown and the pink open hand on the
news every day.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
You can never be replaced.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
And his margin no legal advice, but you told you
have no case honors that a.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Walty has happened. Doesn't even just mentions the wist of
now dame on the radio, doesn't hold a candle to
the thirty two years old Bill Handle now come around. Yeah, wow,
that is good. That's very very talented, very talented guy.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah, when I go to prison, I want him to
write a song that would be absolutely terrific. Really, yeah,
I think so. That's very talented. Oh just a little
bit of history. Wayne Resnik, who is on our show
for years and years and years, got a job here
because he wrote a song like that for Joe Crummy
(18:13):
when Joe Crummy was here.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yes, he sent in a song about Joe Crummy and
they brought him in and before I know it, he
was working here.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Well, doctor Laura, she became doctor Laura. She would call in.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
She would do a call in because a guy by
name of Bill Balance who had a show who he
sort of did a women's you know call in, especially
if you're a psycho bitch show, and Laura would.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Call just as a caller.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And she was so good that he had her as
a guest, and then she got her own show, and
then of course she exploded as a national figure.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
As they dated too, right, they had a relationship. I
don't know if they I think they might have.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, they might have had a relationship, much like Wayne
and I had a relationship.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Oh yeah, okay, gross completely all right, Mary, it's gonna
be a weird morning.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I'll tell you that right now, lotty history this morning
we have to go through. And so for those of
you that are bored, silly, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I love when you say stuff like that, is if
every show is so pristine and focused, yes, and then oh,
every once in a while it just gets out of hand.
It's like, what, when has the show been focused?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Once? Nine to eleven? Yeah, nine to eleven, that was it? Once? Once? Once?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Okay, Wow, we're going we're zipping through these stories. More
handle on the news, Neil and Amy me.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
So, Trump gave an ultimatum to Moscow, as we know,
to sign the ceasefire deal at the end to end
the war in Ukraine with fifty days, and President Vladimir Putin,
I'm going to have to translate this indeed.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Responded with that he did, and he said yet.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And it turns out that for some reason, I don't
know why, Trump thought that Putin was going to live
up to his word or actually engage in peace.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
He's not interested at all.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Putin's just better than Trump is at these kinds of negotiations.
And even Trump said, you know, he comes off of
a nice guy. He appears to be reasonable, but in
the end nothing And.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Well he looks at Trump he goes, listen, I know
you want to be a dictator, but I am.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's true, that's true. All right, I think we can
do a couple more before you take a break.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Republicans have backed off a bit, but is it enough.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
The White House has backed off four hundred million dollars
in proposed cuts to global AIDS programs. The Senate Republicans
had a nine point four billion dollars spending bill. They're
trying to claw back all this money that's already been allocated.
It's all tied to DOGE and so they took out
the four.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Hundred million.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
And put it back in.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Put it back in.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Now the Senate would have to pass that, but that's
still iffy. And if that gets done, then it goes
back to the House and has to get passed, and
then all what is at stake here is nine billion
dollars in USAID funding and one billion dollars in public
broadcasting funding and the deadline is Friday.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, I can see we're going to talk at more
about the public broadcasting. I can understand the politics of that,
you know, on one side or the other, and the bias,
which of course PBS does have against Trump and Republicans.
But taking away AIDS money so people don't die of
AIDS that's a tougher one.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
So they're backing off of that.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, they are. That's the point.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's the point I'm saying is the politics of the
NPR money is legitimate, backing off a money is not.
And I think they're realizing the politics are not too.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Good that NPR when you look at the you know,
the landscape. Most am talk radio is conservative across the contract.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So but just as balance, No, but conservative am talk
radio does not get funding from the government.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's the difference.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
NPR is in many big chunk of NPR money. PBS
money is government money. That's that's the difference. And they're right,
it's biased. It is.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Okay, we're done thirty two years, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All right, today we celebrate thirty two years of Bill
Handle on KFI and celebrate.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I mean, we mentioned it. There's not a party or anything.
I mean, geez, we're talking about Bill Handle here. Oh man,
look at my life. You know, I think there's a
theme going on this morning.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
The only it's really fun is there is a poster
or a banner that was put up.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Is it a fun Instagram yet?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Okay, we have to put that up on Instagram because
that was That was very gracious and kind.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Your sixteen person staff is on it. Yes, that's true.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Also, welcome back obviously Handle in the morning crew.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's Wednesday, July sixteenth, and Amy, you saw Superman and
you saw it with was it with Will?
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Will?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
And I?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Okay, review what'd you think of Superman?
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Hold that thought.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I'm going to hold that.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We just are told somebody's on the phone. Hold on
a second.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Yeah, Hey, good morning. Can you hear me? Yes? Yeah, Hey,
good morning. I'm calling to talk to Neil Young. I'd
like to talk to a young person if I could please.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Wow. Wow, that's a familiar for me.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
You know what I want you to know? Not only
is Neil Young young, but he's also Finn. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
We're going to do a roast shall.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Dale, Good morning. It's Todd Spitzer. Congratulations on thirty two years.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Oh, thanks, Todd. Oh do you know that I'm going
to see you for dinner on the twenty six.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Yeah, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about how
you insulted the heck out of me when my cousin
Nancy called on the air to get legal advice from you.
I don't know if you remember, but you told my
cousin really right on your ride listening handling the law
of about five people on Saturday morning, you literally told
(24:45):
my cousin Nancy, oh, you're related to Todd Spitzer. He's
either going to be President of the United States or
convicted child molester. You know what you did to my career, Bill,
I mean you tube my entire career. Yeah, comment, I
just want you to know.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
That I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I've got I have Todd Spitzer stories that I could
do an hour on you, Todd of how we met.
A lot of people don't know that you screened for
me on handle on the law before you were elected
as started with Orange County Supervisor. And now you know
you've been in state government. Now you you have your
(25:24):
your dream job, DA because you can put you can
put people away, and uh you do it with impunity.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
No one can tell you not to do it. That's
a great gig.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Bill, listen to me now that you you know, now
that you've told my cousin, you know you you did
what you did. You defame me literally on the air,
and you live in Orange County. I just I have
instructed every law enforcement officer to be on the lookout
for your car.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, unfortunately it's true. By the way, uh, Todd.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Being an attorney yourself, you are a public figure. I
can say almost anything about you.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
But anyways, well, Bill, what what stopped you? You've literally
said everything about true is true.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's true? All right, Todd, thank you for calling.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
I congratulation, Thank you, career with a pretty thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Thanks. You know, I did say that about Todd what's
wrong with you? I did?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
He was either going to be elected president? Of course
he was. He has been in an elected office for
twenty five years. And he's a great public servant. He
really is guy's I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
He's doing great things in Orange County.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, I mean he is a crazy, uncorruptible. He's the
hardest working guy. And people said, oh, you're friends with
Todd Spitzer, you know, and you boy, you know you
get all kinds of benefits by being friends with Todd.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And I said, let me tell you the reality of Todd.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
If I got a traffic ticket Orange County and I
were to call Todd, and I have a cell number
and I can call him anytime and call him at home.
And I were to say, Todd, can you help me
this out? Can you help me out with this traffic ticket?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
He literally had.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Say, Bill, the only reason I am not arresting you
right now for trying to bribe a public official is
that I know you. This will be the last time
you ask that. Is how completely uncorruptible?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Were you embarrassed when you did that? Of course, not
what did he screen for you or something he did
screened on handle of the law. He was what my
screener years before he ran for office, were you the
reason why he wanted to do good law? I know,
because I will do. I know we're having a weird
day to day.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But a quick Todd Spitzer story when he ran for office,
as he asked me to host his first fundraiser or
speak to his first fundraiser and introduce him, and I
was kind of honored, And he said, Bill, I want
to tell you, there are a lot of conservative, very
religious people that are there at this fundraiser. And he
(27:55):
said at that time he was Jewish. And Todd said,
you know, I I am Jewish, but you know I
don't make a big deal out of it, you know,
so please soft pedal the issue. And I looked at
him and he said I shouldn't have asked you, should I?
And I said nope, And so as I was as
I introduced Todd, I said, ladies and gentlemen, Todd, who
(28:17):
I've known for years, started my screener now as a friend,
will be a phenomenal Orange County supervisor. And I am
honored to introduce him. It is fun first fundraiser, Ladies
and gentlemen, I want to introduce Todd the Jew Spitzer.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
And he just over there like shaking his head. He
can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And then I got into it with three nuns arguing
how Jesus does not exist, actually, how God does not exist?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Was yeah, it was. It was a great morning. Yeah,
I'm sure it was. The food was good. Uh huh.
Todd the Jew Spitzer, I want to see that. I
want to see that on a lawn side.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
He's done he's done running. He has his dream job
and he'll be he'll retire at it. And he's uh,
he's he has been in his mind law enforcement and
he has he was a reserve police officer. I mean,
he's got a huge background and uh just a and
he people get emails from him four o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
