Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I've always wanted to give marginal spiritual advice always, and
they just won't let me because you know, the show
gets people who are just really really distressed. I mean
even suicide, that people contemplating suicide, and of course Jesus
in the show is compassionate caring. If it were me,
(00:33):
jump right now, leave us alone.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You're taking up too much time, and.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And good morning. It is Aday, Wednesday, June tenth.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Handle and the morning crew that promo just we just
heard about the offering to give marginal spiritual advice filling
in on the Jesus Show.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I've been doing that for years.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yesterday I was having a conversation with my trainer as
I work out three days a week because I will well,
I wanted to get in decent shape. And he's a
pretty religious guy. I mean he really is, basically I
would say, a fundamental Christian. Great guy doesn't proselytize or anything,
and so we have all kinds of religious conversations and
(01:28):
we were discussing the God of the Old Testament versus
the God of the New Testament and the God of
the Old Testament. Man was about it was not a
nice god. I mean slavery and.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Death for a lot of infractions.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And then God turns into the nicest God in the
world after Jesus has worn turned the other cheek, and
you know you're wonderful and you're going to get everlasting
life if you follow my word. And I said, when
you think about it, that after the New Testament God
(02:05):
found Jesus, didn't he He had a coming home to
coming home to Jesus meeting and turned into another God.
And then you got all kinds of scriptures. Now you
can interpret them anyway. Oh no, you're really like eating
with rattlesnakes and when they bite you, you die.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And that's God's will. God is a vengeful god. No,
only in the Old Testament.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You don't think he's still vengeful a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Not like not like the Old Testament turning people into
sault How about murdering every human being other than Noah
and his wife. That's a tough one. Okay, we're gonna
have a religious conversation. These are conversations I have in
the meantime, head there, good morning, Good morning. Heather was
(02:53):
in for the next week and a half until Amy
comes back from her vacation. Michelle, Michelle the Cube Meister,
who was a producer of this show for twenty six years.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
So Michelle still makes fun of me and still tells
me what to do. Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And Michelle is here for the rest of the week
and comes back on Monday. Neil is probably coming back
on Monday. I've been talking to him about his bariatric surgery.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
And Will is still here. Good morning, Will, Good morning, Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
There you go, And there's Cono, who is always here too.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Will. Was that T shirt? I can't quite see it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's from our wiggle Waggle walk thing that we oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
How many Koreans were there at the walk?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
No, no, no, no, don't go there. I used to
get in a lot of trouble for that. Used to yeah, no,
I used to. Oh, I used to. Not so much
anymore because I don't straight out and make an accusation
because I was just curious, that's all.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Don't get in trouble for anything anymore. You're like you
reached the point where no untouchable Bill.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Ham no, you know what, Heather, we are in even
with that, it's much looser today than it has been
for the last few years. I mean the last few
years it was woke city here. I mean it was
crazy making. But we've now come back. Actually ever since
Trump has attacked wokeness, which I have no problem with
(04:22):
at all, because we went too far, you know, the
pendulum swings and the.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
You know, that's to defund the police.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Let's disband the police. No such thing as an illegal immigrant.
People are not illegal. I almost I almost wanted to
carry a sign at one of these demonstrations it says
felons are not illegal, they are human beings. Okay, why not?
(04:50):
All right, enough of that, here we go into political
dietribe once again.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Let's do it though.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It is time for handle on the news and no
Amy today, so it it's Heather and.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Me let Well.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Xavier Javier Bassara has taken the Democratic primary, which that's
the story in of itself because he was down at
the bottom of the heap and was asked to bail
out because there were just too many Democrats And I
don't know how you say we're going to pound sand
here in Spanish, but he wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Leave and it worked out for him.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then Steve Hilton is also he's the Republican and
he was pretty close to Bessara in the numbers.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
But but Sarah's going to wipe him out.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Not because we're talking about it as a better candidate
or is bringing more to the table. It's Democrat versus Republican.
We're two to one Democrat in the state. We are
probably the most left wing state in the United States.
Trump endorsed Steve Hilton, and you know, what are you
(06:02):
gonna do with that?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
In California?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's actually a death knoll for a Republican today to
have Trump.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Endorse down say, some of the unhappiness that people are
experiencing in the state might translate over like some people might,
you know, cross.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Over and vote. Not nearly enough, it's not even going
to be close. There may be someone happiness.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But also Trump is more underwater in California than any
other state. I mean, there's a lot of dissatisfaction. I'll
tell you what's going to happening. Hilton's going to do
this is separate himself from Donald Trump. You will see
that where these candidates are moving away from trump Ism
now that we're going into.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
The general election.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
During the primaries, you have to line up and you
have to kiss the ring with Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You have no choice. He has that kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Power, but he doesn't have any power with the Democrats,
that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah, we're already starting to see some of that breaking away,
if you can believe it.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Just days after the primary.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Steve Hilton is saying that the elections in California are
not rigged, which is what Donald Trump has been saying
repeatedly with no proof, for no evidence that it is rigged.
He went Steve Hilton went on CNN and said that
he has seen no evidence that there has been any
(07:19):
issues with the voting in California, that it's been rigged.
But he does say that he thinks that the vote
counting has been slow and there's a lot of things
wrong with the system and the processes, but he does
not believe and does not agree that it is rigged.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, California has probably the slowest vote counting because of
the rules of the state, and the Republicans, including Donald
Trump and other Republicans that are going to lose, are
arguing the very system itself is open to fraud. And
so there's a big difference between arguing about the system
(07:54):
and saying specifically there is fraud.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
There was fraud because there wasn't any.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now, can you argue that the way California counts its
vote in the length of time you can go ahead
and vote with mail in balloting. Sure, you can say
that California is arguing that the way it's done, as
a matter of fact, it guarantees a fair count.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
So because they're double checking signatures, they're taking.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
No matter how many times you say that though and
explain it in so many different ways, people don't hear that.
They don't hear that side of the explanation for a while.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Although to the point.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Now you have to show ID when registering, which I
did when registering, But last time I went to vote
at the pulling booth, I walk in and you have
to give your name and then what's your name, and
then they check it against an address in your name,
and I said, I'd like to show you my ID
that I'm really William Handle. They go, no, we don't
want to see it. I'd like to show it to you.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
They rejected you. They said, we don't want to see it.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yes, literally said I this is the poolworker. I don't
want to see it. And we almost had a fight
over it, and he refused to look at my driver's license,
straight out.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Refused, and you were shoving, You were like, look at it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh yeah, I almost crammed it down his throat and
look me, look at me, Look at me, look at me.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So there's so there is probably something to see Filton's
point that there are some issues with the election process
and guilty that could be adjusted.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
But yeah, I argue that, Yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
There's been no signs and any evidence that this current
election is rigged.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, and that's the problem because the Republicans are saying
it is rigged. And the big move, of course, both
federally and statewide with a proposition, is to prove id
when voting. It has become a huge issue. And the
point is there's no problem. It's an answer, it's a
fix for no problem. And at this point there's never
(09:55):
been proof of widespread fraud. Now, some fraud, well, in
the United States, you have one hundred and fifty million
votes during a presidential you might find one or two
where fraud does occur, but that's not gonna fly.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
So in Boyle Heights, an LPD officer was shot on
the chest. It's happened during an exchange of gunfire at
the end of a pursuit. They took the suspects into
custody and the officer is expected.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
To be okay, which is very good news, very good news.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yes, a lot of back and forth going on here
Over in Tehran now, authorities there are saying they're reviewing
their negotiations with the US because the US struck Iran
last night, and US said they did that in response
to Iran taking down that army helicopter yesterday. And now
(10:48):
authorities in Tehran are saying they're accusing the US and
Israel of repeated cease fire negotiations. Officials are saying diplomacy
cannot take place in a vacuum, basically, that they don't
trust the US to continue this ceasefire negotiation process, and
(11:09):
so everything is still up in the air right now.
Trump said this morning, just a couple hours ago, that
this is taking too long and that he is going
to have to take some other steps.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Of course, of course, if you look at the history
of Iranians negotiating with anybody in anything in any country,
they drag it out as long as possible. The deal
with Obama, for example, the Obama administration, which Trump said
it was a worst deal in the world, that took
two years to negotiate. So the President saying this is over.
(11:40):
It'll be over in this weekend. It'll be over in
two days, it'll be over in three days. We'll get
a bomb away Wednesday night. It's two to four week war.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
We won.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
We wiped out their military, which for the most part
we did other than wiping out their abilities and the
missiles and the drones. And Iran's position is real simple,
lift the sanction, let us have the money that we.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That we have that you frozen, twelve or fifteen billion.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Dollars, and then we'll beginning to talk about our nuclear program. Yeah,
that's not such a good deal, and I don't think
the president can agree to that even if he wanted to.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
He painted himself into a corner.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
So this is an interesting story, and I have been
curious to get your take on this since I saw
this come down yesterday. Nick Reiner is the son of
Robin Michelle Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents,
really violent murder, and he is now asking for the
court to release the funds from a trust that his
(12:44):
parents established for him, and he wants to use it
to help pay for his legal defense, and.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Can he do that, Well, there's a law in the
books that said that people who commit felonies this was
the son of Sam Law out of New York, in
which what's there's phase is Sam Berkowitz who committed all
those murders, and you had murders write books and get
the money royalties and get advances, and the law was
(13:13):
passed saying no. Here is why I think he's going
to get the money. He is merely accused at this
point of doing it. Of course he did it, but
he's not convicted. And what he is arguing is I
have money for me in that trust account, and I
wanted to use for my defense.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
And one of the good reasons.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That I think the judge is going to allow that
money to be released is number one, there's no conviction whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's his money.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And the court likes that you don't hire a public
defender because public defenders cost the state money. And this
is not going to be any small trial either, so
there's be issues of sanity and experts brought in. It's
going to be expensive case. And the judge could say, hey,
you know what, he's got the money at talks about
(14:00):
his conviction after the conviction, so I.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Think it's going to be released. I think.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
So.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Do you talk about the California Probate Code called the
slayer statue?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Does that apply in this case?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No, I can't talk about it because I have no
idea what I would be talking about. Usually I'm fine
having no idea what I'm going to be talking about. Yeah,
I just listened to the Saturday show, So okay, how
about this? Yes or no? Okay, I'll go with yes, Okay, Yeah,
I don't know the answer to that one. All right,
(14:34):
just take a break. We'll come back. And normally I
would look it up or have Michelle.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Look at information for you. I can tell you, yeah,
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I am going to answer your question.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I head there regarding whether or not Nick Render can
take money out of his trust account to pay for
his defense, and I think the judge is going to
say yes. Now, there are some restrictions. For example, in
cal Fournia, it is stricter where a judge can go
beyond that, but it all is based on adjudication. There
(15:08):
is no adjudication yet. He's only been charged and so
I think the judge is going to release those trust
funds to pay for his defense and limited at that.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That's what I think is going to happen. Okay, okay,
does that help you?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
It does?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Also, just a bit of news that I want to
share with you is that the space xipo happens on
Friday and you can buy shares maybe one point seven
seven trillion dollar valuation, which would make Trump if it
goes at full valuation, he would be the world's first trillionaire.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
That's going to be huge.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It's going to be huge because it's huge. Yeah, that's
the story.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And we'll see it's opening at one hundred and thirty
five dollars a share, we think, and we'll see what
happens right when it opens up.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Millionaire president in history, right, all right? Oh, he's hung
about Musk Trump. Oh Trump, Now Trump is not going
to be a trillionaire. That'll be Musk.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Oh, Musk will be a trillionaire.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Okay, Yeah, sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, that's okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
So, so apparently the Sofi Stadium workers who have been
working on their contract negotiations with Unite Here Local eleven
and Sofi Stadium. They've reached a tentative agreement to potentially
avoid a strike and walking off the job for the
World Cup, which the first game starts on Friday here
(16:36):
in Los Angeles. The World Cup it begins tomorrow in
other parts of the country. The contract that they've agreed
upon guarantees most workers forty dollars an hour, more than
forty dollars an hour premium pay for major events like
the World Cup and protections against AI. But the big
one I think is the well the fifis tournament that
(16:56):
requires them to stadium workers to submit highly so into
a personal information including social security and fingerprints, and so
a lot of the workers there were worried about ICE
and Homeland Security coming in to snatch him up while
they're at work.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, that's a big fear. And forty dollars per hour.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Kno, would you ever imagine in your lifetime making forty
dollars an hour? And the answer, of course is new precisely. Okay,
that's wild.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Yeah, maybe we need to revisit our union here at KFI.
All right, nobody heard me say that. All right, So
gene Evan Atkins, this name might sound familiar because he
is the man who is responsible for that shootout that
happened outside the Trader Joe's and Silver Lake in twenty eighteen. Well,
(17:48):
he's been acquitted a first degree murder, but he was
found guilty on forty counts. Forty other counts, including attempted murder,
assault with a semi automatic on a firearm, on a
peace office her, fleeing a pursuing peace officer, a lot
of other charges that he was convicted of, but he
was not charged with first degree murder and the death
(18:10):
of the assistant manager. There are Trader Joe's twenty seven
year old Melinda Maricella Corrado.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well, he was charged with first agreement.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
He was charged, he was not convicted.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yet, not because murderer involves the intent to kill, right
and his argument and legitimately he didn't tend to kill anybody.
I mean, he was shooting, but did he intend to kill?
Now implied malice will be there. I mean, you can
be charged with murder. For example, you plow into a
group of people on the sidewalk with your car, but
(18:43):
you didn't intend to kill anybody, but it is so
dangerous and someone is dead, someone dies, implied, malice will
be there, but not for murder.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
It was actually the police officer LP Yeah. Yeah, and
then right bullet that killed right.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Well, we have the fellow any murder rule is if
you're committee a felony and someone dies, even if you
haven't pulled the trigger, you are guilty of You can
guitars and convicted of murder, but not first degree murder.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
So cal Edison is.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
A little bit of trouble, which I think we've all
known for quite some time. New surveillance video shows and
there's some more evidence as well, confirms that a century
old IDOL transmission line that utility failed to remove is
the one that ignited last year and started that deadly
eaten wildfire.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And they and they have video, they have video on video. Yeah,
it didn't help them. They also have a video of
an Edison employee lighting a fire to cook some s'mores
right next to the tower there.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Yeah, that also did not help their case.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Speaking of fires, a lot of people used the watch
Duty app last year during the and continue to use
it to track wildfires in the area. Well, now it
is going to introduce flood alerts to its disaster awareness service.
So not only can you track wildfires in your area,
you can also track for flooding as well.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Okay, so what color are we talking about? Amber is
already taken?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Oh for alerts?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Does watch you to use the alert? I think this
is a different alert.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You're just throwing something out there.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I was just trying to be entertaining and it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Sometimes it does well, I think actually they don't have colors.
All right, you could let me know when you see.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I love I love Heather being here because it's it's
fresh meat for me.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Listen, if you could let me know when you're gonna
do your jokes.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, that's the whole point, because I'll say something like
that and am you'll just go no, shake your head,
you know, come on, handle all right?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Moving on, So, uh, this story is fascinating to me.
In Michigan, a third grader wore a hat to school
for great for the Great Kindness challenge at her school,
and the hat that she featured inn ar style rifle
and the phrase come and take it so the school,
(21:16):
I guess, took the hat away and because they said
the hat's message was disruptive, and it went.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
All the way.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
This disagreement over the hat went all the way to
Supreme Court, and they declined to review the lower court's
ruling that the school did not violate the student's free
speech rights by prohibiting the hat.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Right, so you can't do it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
The court said, that is not a First Amendment right now,
going back to nineteen sixty nine, when the Supreme Court
said that a high school could not prevent students from
wearing black armbands and supporting the end of the war
in Vietnam.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So the court has reversed itself. Really, I like the
fact this was a third grader.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Well, I immediately got into a very deep discussion about
the Supreme Court decisions as to Second Amendment as third
graders do and First Amendment, yeah, as first graders, as
third graders tend to do.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Good gree if I can't even imagine my daughter in
third grade talking about First Amendment rights.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Second Amendment rights, I know, it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Sorry, Second Amendment rights, yeah or no, this.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Was first Amendment, by the way, this was First Amendment
or dealing with we're dealing with guns.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah, that's wild, all right.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
So Bill Gates will be testifying before congressional hearing today
that is investigating the Epstein files. Bill Gates has had
a previous relationship with Epstein. It began in twenty eleven,
three years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from
a minor, and lasted to least twenty fourteen. So he's
(22:48):
going to be answering questions about their relationship and hopefully,
you know, just the first of many that will be
questioned about their relationship with Epstein.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
How many people do you think it are gonna be?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Quite from what I understand, Uh, the only connection is
correspondence between the two about philanthropic projects, some photos of
Gates and Epstein at those events.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
No, not even an allegation.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
That there was any criminal or untoward activity that Epstein
and Bill Gates engaged in.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But but Bill Gates is Bill Gates.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
And if they go to that entire list of people,
including Bill Clinton, uh, including MENI, meny, big players, They're
going to be added a long long time.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yes, apparently there's a fat squirrel problem in Santa Monica.
The city leaders have put up signs and they're asking
people to stop feeding the squirrels there. It's become a
big environmental issue. A lot of squirrels that become very dominant.
They're eating the snacks and junk food and like you know,
(24:00):
trash all over I guess. And now all the squirrels
are overweight. And Michelle included these cute pictures of these big,
chunky squirrels.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
They're so fat.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, they don't run away, they just sit there and
watch you feed them.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Oh, here is a Michelle story for you.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yeather, Yes, So I actually I am very excited. And
Michelle and I already talked about this. So a family
is stepping in to save the Prim Casino, Las Vegas
based Terribles, which is owned by the Herbs family is
going to step in and save the Prim Valley Casino
(24:40):
from being closed. So it was one of it would
have been one of three. I guess, Buffalo Bills closed already,
Whiskey Pete's already closed. So they're going to step in
and save the Prim casino.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, Michelle, who goes to Vegas more than anybody, I know.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Your thoughts. Have you ever been to Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:58):
I used to stop at state Line pretty regularly.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
They used to stop at Whisky Pete's on my way
home just to play like a hundred bucks see if
I would win. And the last time I stopped there
about a month before it closed. It was really really sad.
The casinos, they just haven't been great. And the casinos
on the other side, I mean prim you know, is
the one that's open that used to be the Prima Donna,
and that's where that murder happened in nineteen ninety seven
(25:22):
of The Little Girl by Jeremy Strollmeyer. It never really
recovered after that, you know, and they changed the name
and they tried to update it, and it just I've
never it just I think because there's so many casinos
now in California, the Indian casinos in California, people don't
stop at state Line anymore. It used to be people
(25:44):
would stop at state Line on the way to Vegas
and they'd play there for a while, and they would
occasionally have some good acts and stuff that would perform
out there. But it's gone really downhill for a long time.
I don't know if they're going to be able to
revive it. I really don't.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Okay, we'll be interesting to see if it survives, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
An Orange County rideshare customer got cell phone footage of
his Uber driver falling asleep behind the wheel of a
Tesla when they were on the four O five earlier
this year.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
So, and that's after there was one on the five
the other day.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
And they had a defense.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Though, test, I gotta tell you, Uber is absolutely going
to be able to defend, saying that the passenger started
talking and it was so boring.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
All right.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Idris Elba said that James Bond shouldn't become woke.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
What do you think, Bill, should James Bond be woke?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Idris said, the way James Bond was written, it was
a white guy and it should stay exactly the way
it was written. I think it should expand. I like
the I like the idea of a quadruple amptite emputy
in a wheelchair becoming James Bond.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
I will tell you Idris would have been a great James.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, he is a phenomenal ass. He has been.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
He has been knighted by I think was it the
queen who knighted him or King Charles?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I have no.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Idea, but seriously, good actor and uh, you know, even
he says, you know what, you know, it's not a
black guy. Okay, it's a white guy.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
I have to respect that he is taking that stance though,
because so many actors would not do that. They would
just jump at the chance to be like, I'm going
to be a part of this branch.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
No, and he turned down a he turned down the
part of the Imperial Wizard of the KKK.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
And you have to give him credit for that.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Okay, see, Amy, there was my Amy sigh for you.
Oh see, we're already there.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Coming up, Steve Hilton is number two in the race
for California governorship. And who is still Steve Hilton? Interesting
guy to say the least. I'll come back with that.
This is kf I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Catch my show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I've always wanted to give marginal spiritual advice always, and
they just won't let me because you know, the show
gets people who are just really really distressed. I mean
even suicide, that people contemplating suicide, and of course Jesus
in the show is compassionate caring. If it were me,
(00:33):
jump right now, leave us alone.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You're taking up too much time, and.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And good morning. It is Aday, Wednesday, June tenth.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Handle and the morning crew that promo just we just
heard about the offering to give marginal spiritual advice filling
in on the Jesus Show.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I've been doing that for years.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yesterday I was having a conversation with my trainer as
I work out three days a week because I will well,
I wanted to get in decent shape. And he's a
pretty religious guy. I mean he really is, basically I
would say, a fundamental Christian. Great guy doesn't proselytize or anything,
and so we have all kinds of religious conversations and
(01:28):
we were discussing the God of the Old Testament versus
the God of the New Testament and the God of
the Old Testament. Man was about it was not a
nice god. I mean slavery and.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Death for a lot of infractions.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And then God turns into the nicest God in the
world after Jesus has worn turned the other cheek, and
you know you're wonderful and you're going to get everlasting
life if you follow my word. And I said, when
you think about it, that after the New Testament God
(02:05):
found Jesus, didn't he He had a coming home to
coming home to Jesus meeting and turned into another God.
And then you got all kinds of scriptures. Now you
can interpret them anyway. Oh no, you're really like eating
with rattlesnakes and when they bite you, you die.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And that's God's will. God is a vengeful god. No,
only in the Old Testament.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You don't think he's still vengeful a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Not like not like the Old Testament turning people into
sault How about murdering every human being other than Noah
and his wife. That's a tough one. Okay, we're gonna
have a religious conversation. These are conversations I have in
the meantime, head there, good morning, Good morning. Heather was
(02:53):
in for the next week and a half until Amy
comes back from her vacation. Michelle, Michelle the Cube Meister,
who was a producer of this show for twenty six years.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
So Michelle still makes fun of me and still tells
me what to do. Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And Michelle is here for the rest of the week
and comes back on Monday. Neil is probably coming back
on Monday. I've been talking to him about his bariatric surgery.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
And Will is still here. Good morning, Will, Good morning, Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
There you go, And there's Cono, who is always here too.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Will. Was that T shirt? I can't quite see it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's from our wiggle Waggle walk thing that we oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
How many Koreans were there at the walk?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
No, no, no, no, don't go there. I used to
get in a lot of trouble for that. Used to yeah, no,
I used to. Oh, I used to. Not so much
anymore because I don't straight out and make an accusation
because I was just curious, that's all.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Don't get in trouble for anything anymore. You're like you
reached the point where no untouchable Bill.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Ham no, you know what, Heather, we are in even
with that, it's much looser today than it has been
for the last few years. I mean the last few
years it was woke city here. I mean it was
crazy making. But we've now come back. Actually ever since
Trump has attacked wokeness, which I have no problem with
(04:22):
at all, because we went too far, you know, the
pendulum swings and the.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
You know, that's to defund the police.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Let's disband the police. No such thing as an illegal immigrant.
People are not illegal. I almost I almost wanted to
carry a sign at one of these demonstrations it says
felons are not illegal, they are human beings. Okay, why not?
(04:50):
All right, enough of that, here we go into political
dietribe once again.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Let's do it though.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It is time for handle on the news and no
Amy today, so it it's Heather and.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Me let Well.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Xavier Javier Bassara has taken the Democratic primary, which that's
the story in of itself because he was down at
the bottom of the heap and was asked to bail
out because there were just too many Democrats And I
don't know how you say we're going to pound sand
here in Spanish, but he wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Leave and it worked out for him.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then Steve Hilton is also he's the Republican and
he was pretty close to Bessara in the numbers.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
But but Sarah's going to wipe him out.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Not because we're talking about it as a better candidate
or is bringing more to the table. It's Democrat versus Republican.
We're two to one Democrat in the state. We are
probably the most left wing state in the United States.
Trump endorsed Steve Hilton, and you know, what are you
(06:02):
gonna do with that?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
In California?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's actually a death knoll for a Republican today to
have Trump.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Endorse down say, some of the unhappiness that people are
experiencing in the state might translate over like some people might,
you know, cross.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Over and vote. Not nearly enough, it's not even going
to be close. There may be someone happiness.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But also Trump is more underwater in California than any
other state. I mean, there's a lot of dissatisfaction. I'll
tell you what's going to happening. Hilton's going to do
this is separate himself from Donald Trump. You will see
that where these candidates are moving away from trump Ism
now that we're going into.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
The general election.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
During the primaries, you have to line up and you
have to kiss the ring with Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You have no choice. He has that kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Power, but he doesn't have any power with the Democrats,
that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah, we're already starting to see some of that breaking away,
if you can believe it.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Just days after the primary.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Steve Hilton is saying that the elections in California are
not rigged, which is what Donald Trump has been saying
repeatedly with no proof, for no evidence that it is rigged.
He went Steve Hilton went on CNN and said that
he has seen no evidence that there has been any
(07:19):
issues with the voting in California, that it's been rigged.
But he does say that he thinks that the vote
counting has been slow and there's a lot of things
wrong with the system and the processes, but he does
not believe and does not agree that it is rigged.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, California has probably the slowest vote counting because of
the rules of the state, and the Republicans, including Donald
Trump and other Republicans that are going to lose, are
arguing the very system itself is open to fraud. And
so there's a big difference between arguing about the system
(07:54):
and saying specifically there is fraud.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
There was fraud because there wasn't any.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now, can you argue that the way California counts its
vote in the length of time you can go ahead
and vote with mail in balloting. Sure, you can say
that California is arguing that the way it's done, as
a matter of fact, it guarantees a fair count.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
So because they're double checking signatures, they're taking.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
No matter how many times you say that though and
explain it in so many different ways, people don't hear that.
They don't hear that side of the explanation for a while.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Although to the point.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Now you have to show ID when registering, which I
did when registering, But last time I went to vote
at the pulling booth, I walk in and you have
to give your name and then what's your name, and
then they check it against an address in your name,
and I said, I'd like to show you my ID
that I'm really William Handle. They go, no, we don't
want to see it. I'd like to show it to you.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
They rejected you. They said, we don't want to see it.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yes, literally said I this is the poolworker. I don't
want to see it. And we almost had a fight
over it, and he refused to look at my driver's license,
straight out.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Refused, and you were shoving, You were like, look at it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh yeah, I almost crammed it down his throat and
look me, look at me, Look at me, look at me.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So there's so there is probably something to see Filton's
point that there are some issues with the election process
and guilty that could be adjusted.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
But yeah, I argue that, Yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
There's been no signs and any evidence that this current
election is rigged.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, and that's the problem because the Republicans are saying
it is rigged. And the big move, of course, both
federally and statewide with a proposition, is to prove id
when voting. It has become a huge issue. And the
point is there's no problem. It's an answer, it's a
fix for no problem. And at this point there's never
(09:55):
been proof of widespread fraud. Now, some fraud, well, in
the United States, you have one hundred and fifty million
votes during a presidential you might find one or two
where fraud does occur, but that's not gonna fly.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
So in Boyle Heights, an LPD officer was shot on
the chest. It's happened during an exchange of gunfire at
the end of a pursuit. They took the suspects into
custody and the officer is expected.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
To be okay, which is very good news, very good news.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yes, a lot of back and forth going on here
Over in Tehran now, authorities there are saying they're reviewing
their negotiations with the US because the US struck Iran
last night, and US said they did that in response
to Iran taking down that army helicopter yesterday. And now
(10:48):
authorities in Tehran are saying they're accusing the US and
Israel of repeated cease fire negotiations. Officials are saying diplomacy
cannot take place in a vacuum, basically, that they don't
trust the US to continue this ceasefire negotiation process, and
(11:09):
so everything is still up in the air right now.
Trump said this morning, just a couple hours ago, that
this is taking too long and that he is going
to have to take some other steps.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Of course, of course, if you look at the history
of Iranians negotiating with anybody in anything in any country,
they drag it out as long as possible. The deal
with Obama, for example, the Obama administration, which Trump said
it was a worst deal in the world, that took
two years to negotiate. So the President saying this is over.
(11:40):
It'll be over in this weekend. It'll be over in
two days, it'll be over in three days. We'll get
a bomb away Wednesday night. It's two to four week war.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
We won.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
We wiped out their military, which for the most part
we did other than wiping out their abilities and the
missiles and the drones. And Iran's position is real simple,
lift the sanction, let us have the money that we.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That we have that you frozen, twelve or fifteen billion.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Dollars, and then we'll beginning to talk about our nuclear program. Yeah,
that's not such a good deal, and I don't think
the president can agree to that even if he wanted to.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
He painted himself into a corner.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
So this is an interesting story, and I have been
curious to get your take on this since I saw
this come down yesterday. Nick Reiner is the son of
Robin Michelle Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents,
really violent murder, and he is now asking for the
court to release the funds from a trust that his
(12:44):
parents established for him, and he wants to use it
to help pay for his legal defense, and.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Can he do that, Well, there's a law in the
books that said that people who commit felonies this was
the son of Sam Law out of New York, in
which what's there's phase is Sam Berkowitz who committed all
those murders, and you had murders write books and get
the money royalties and get advances, and the law was
(13:13):
passed saying no. Here is why I think he's going
to get the money. He is merely accused at this
point of doing it. Of course he did it, but
he's not convicted. And what he is arguing is I
have money for me in that trust account, and I
wanted to use for my defense.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
And one of the good reasons.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That I think the judge is going to allow that
money to be released is number one, there's no conviction whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's his money.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And the court likes that you don't hire a public
defender because public defenders cost the state money. And this
is not going to be any small trial either, so
there's be issues of sanity and experts brought in. It's
going to be expensive case. And the judge could say, hey,
you know what, he's got the money at talks about
(14:00):
his conviction after the conviction, so I.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Think it's going to be released. I think.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
So.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Do you talk about the California Probate Code called the
slayer statue?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Does that apply in this case?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No, I can't talk about it because I have no
idea what I would be talking about. Usually I'm fine
having no idea what I'm going to be talking about. Yeah,
I just listened to the Saturday show, So okay, how
about this? Yes or no? Okay, I'll go with yes, Okay, Yeah,
I don't know the answer to that one. All right,
(14:34):
just take a break. We'll come back. And normally I
would look it up or have Michelle.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Look at information for you. I can tell you, yeah,
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I am going to answer your question.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I head there regarding whether or not Nick Render can
take money out of his trust account to pay for
his defense, and I think the judge is going to
say yes. Now, there are some restrictions. For example, in
cal Fournia, it is stricter where a judge can go
beyond that, but it all is based on adjudication. There
(15:08):
is no adjudication yet. He's only been charged and so
I think the judge is going to release those trust
funds to pay for his defense and limited at that.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That's what I think is going to happen. Okay, okay,
does that help you?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
It does?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Also, just a bit of news that I want to
share with you is that the space xipo happens on
Friday and you can buy shares maybe one point seven
seven trillion dollar valuation, which would make Trump if it
goes at full valuation, he would be the world's first trillionaire.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
That's going to be huge.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It's going to be huge because it's huge. Yeah, that's
the story.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And we'll see it's opening at one hundred and thirty
five dollars a share, we think, and we'll see what
happens right when it opens up.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Millionaire president in history, right, all right? Oh, he's hung
about Musk Trump. Oh Trump, Now Trump is not going
to be a trillionaire. That'll be Musk.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Oh, Musk will be a trillionaire.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Okay, Yeah, sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, that's okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
So, so apparently the Sofi Stadium workers who have been
working on their contract negotiations with Unite Here Local eleven
and Sofi Stadium. They've reached a tentative agreement to potentially
avoid a strike and walking off the job for the
World Cup, which the first game starts on Friday here
(16:36):
in Los Angeles. The World Cup it begins tomorrow in
other parts of the country. The contract that they've agreed
upon guarantees most workers forty dollars an hour, more than
forty dollars an hour premium pay for major events like
the World Cup and protections against AI. But the big
one I think is the well the fifis tournament that
(16:56):
requires them to stadium workers to submit highly so into
a personal information including social security and fingerprints, and so
a lot of the workers there were worried about ICE
and Homeland Security coming in to snatch him up while
they're at work.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, that's a big fear. And forty dollars per hour.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Kno, would you ever imagine in your lifetime making forty
dollars an hour? And the answer, of course is new precisely. Okay,
that's wild.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Yeah, maybe we need to revisit our union here at KFI.
All right, nobody heard me say that. All right, So
gene Evan Atkins, this name might sound familiar because he
is the man who is responsible for that shootout that
happened outside the Trader Joe's and Silver Lake in twenty eighteen. Well,
(17:48):
he's been acquitted a first degree murder, but he was
found guilty on forty counts. Forty other counts, including attempted murder,
assault with a semi automatic on a firearm, on a
peace office her, fleeing a pursuing peace officer, a lot
of other charges that he was convicted of, but he
was not charged with first degree murder and the death
(18:10):
of the assistant manager. There are Trader Joe's twenty seven
year old Melinda Maricella Corrado.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well, he was charged with first agreement.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
He was charged, he was not convicted.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yet, not because murderer involves the intent to kill, right
and his argument and legitimately he didn't tend to kill anybody.
I mean, he was shooting, but did he intend to kill?
Now implied malice will be there. I mean, you can
be charged with murder. For example, you plow into a
group of people on the sidewalk with your car, but
(18:43):
you didn't intend to kill anybody, but it is so
dangerous and someone is dead, someone dies, implied, malice will
be there, but not for murder.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
It was actually the police officer LP Yeah. Yeah, and
then right bullet that killed right.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Well, we have the fellow any murder rule is if
you're committee a felony and someone dies, even if you
haven't pulled the trigger, you are guilty of You can
guitars and convicted of murder, but not first degree murder.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
So cal Edison is.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
A little bit of trouble, which I think we've all
known for quite some time. New surveillance video shows and
there's some more evidence as well, confirms that a century
old IDOL transmission line that utility failed to remove is
the one that ignited last year and started that deadly
eaten wildfire.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And they and they have video, they have video on video. Yeah,
it didn't help them. They also have a video of
an Edison employee lighting a fire to cook some s'mores
right next to the tower there.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Yeah, that also did not help their case.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Speaking of fires, a lot of people used the watch
Duty app last year during the and continue to use
it to track wildfires in the area. Well, now it
is going to introduce flood alerts to its disaster awareness service.
So not only can you track wildfires in your area,
you can also track for flooding as well.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Okay, so what color are we talking about? Amber is
already taken?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Oh for alerts?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Does watch you to use the alert? I think this
is a different alert.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You're just throwing something out there.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I was just trying to be entertaining and it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Sometimes it does well, I think actually they don't have colors.
All right, you could let me know when you see.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I love I love Heather being here because it's it's
fresh meat for me.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Listen, if you could let me know when you're gonna
do your jokes.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, that's the whole point, because I'll say something like
that and am you'll just go no, shake your head,
you know, come on, handle all right?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Moving on, So, uh, this story is fascinating to me.
In Michigan, a third grader wore a hat to school
for great for the Great Kindness challenge at her school,
and the hat that she featured inn ar style rifle
and the phrase come and take it so the school,
(21:16):
I guess, took the hat away and because they said
the hat's message was disruptive, and it went.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
All the way.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
This disagreement over the hat went all the way to
Supreme Court, and they declined to review the lower court's
ruling that the school did not violate the student's free
speech rights by prohibiting the hat.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Right, so you can't do it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
The court said, that is not a First Amendment right now,
going back to nineteen sixty nine, when the Supreme Court
said that a high school could not prevent students from
wearing black armbands and supporting the end of the war
in Vietnam.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
So the court has reversed itself. Really, I like the
fact this was a third grader.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Well, I immediately got into a very deep discussion about
the Supreme Court decisions as to Second Amendment as third
graders do and First Amendment, yeah, as first graders, as
third graders tend to do.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Good gree if I can't even imagine my daughter in
third grade talking about First Amendment rights.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Second Amendment rights, I know, it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Sorry, Second Amendment rights, yeah or no, this.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Was first Amendment, by the way, this was First Amendment
or dealing with we're dealing with guns.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah, that's wild, all right.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
So Bill Gates will be testifying before congressional hearing today
that is investigating the Epstein files. Bill Gates has had
a previous relationship with Epstein. It began in twenty eleven,
three years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from
a minor, and lasted to least twenty fourteen. So he's
(22:48):
going to be answering questions about their relationship and hopefully,
you know, just the first of many that will be
questioned about their relationship with Epstein.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
How many people do you think it are gonna be?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Quite from what I understand, Uh, the only connection is
correspondence between the two about philanthropic projects, some photos of
Gates and Epstein at those events.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
No, not even an allegation.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
That there was any criminal or untoward activity that Epstein
and Bill Gates engaged in.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But but Bill Gates is Bill Gates.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
And if they go to that entire list of people,
including Bill Clinton, uh, including MENI, meny, big players, They're
going to be added a long long time.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yes, apparently there's a fat squirrel problem in Santa Monica.
The city leaders have put up signs and they're asking
people to stop feeding the squirrels there. It's become a
big environmental issue. A lot of squirrels that become very dominant.
They're eating the snacks and junk food and like you know,
(24:00):
trash all over I guess. And now all the squirrels
are overweight. And Michelle included these cute pictures of these big,
chunky squirrels.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
They're so fat.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, they don't run away, they just sit there and
watch you feed them.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Oh, here is a Michelle story for you.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yeather, Yes, So I actually I am very excited. And
Michelle and I already talked about this. So a family
is stepping in to save the Prim Casino, Las Vegas
based Terribles, which is owned by the Herbs family is
going to step in and save the Prim Valley Casino
(24:40):
from being closed. So it was one of it would
have been one of three. I guess, Buffalo Bills closed already,
Whiskey Pete's already closed. So they're going to step in
and save the Prim casino.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, Michelle, who goes to Vegas more than anybody, I know.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Your thoughts. Have you ever been to Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:58):
I used to stop at state Line pretty regularly.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
They used to stop at Whisky Pete's on my way
home just to play like a hundred bucks see if
I would win. And the last time I stopped there
about a month before it closed. It was really really sad.
The casinos, they just haven't been great. And the casinos
on the other side, I mean prim you know, is
the one that's open that used to be the Prima Donna,
and that's where that murder happened in nineteen ninety seven
(25:22):
of The Little Girl by Jeremy Strollmeyer. It never really
recovered after that, you know, and they changed the name
and they tried to update it, and it just I've
never it just I think because there's so many casinos
now in California, the Indian casinos in California, people don't
stop at state Line anymore. It used to be people
(25:44):
would stop at state Line on the way to Vegas
and they'd play there for a while, and they would
occasionally have some good acts and stuff that would perform
out there. But it's gone really downhill for a long time.
I don't know if they're going to be able to
revive it. I really don't.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Okay, we'll be interesting to see if it survives, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
An Orange County rideshare customer got cell phone footage of
his Uber driver falling asleep behind the wheel of a
Tesla when they were on the four O five earlier
this year.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
So, and that's after there was one on the five
the other day.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
And they had a defense.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Though, test, I gotta tell you, Uber is absolutely going
to be able to defend, saying that the passenger started
talking and it was so boring.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
All right.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Idris Elba said that James Bond shouldn't become woke.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
What do you think, Bill, should James Bond be woke?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Idris said, the way James Bond was written, it was
a white guy and it should stay exactly the way
it was written. I think it should expand. I like
the I like the idea of a quadruple amptite emputy
in a wheelchair becoming James Bond.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
I will tell you Idris would have been a great James.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, he is a phenomenal ass. He has been.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
He has been knighted by I think was it the
queen who knighted him or King Charles?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I have no.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Idea, but seriously, good actor and uh, you know, even
he says, you know what, you know, it's not a
black guy. Okay, it's a white guy.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
I have to respect that he is taking that stance though,
because so many actors would not do that. They would
just jump at the chance to be like, I'm going
to be a part of this branch.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
No, and he turned down a he turned down the
part of the Imperial Wizard of the KKK.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
And you have to give him credit for that.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Okay, see, Amy, there was my Amy sigh for you.
Oh see, we're already there.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Coming up, Steve Hilton is number two in the race
