Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty knows.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Someone called in. Her name is Lynn.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
She is a history teacher, and she says the whole
Ben Franklin turkey thing was actually the first drawing of
the bald eagle on money or something.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
He said looked like a turkey.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Oh you know, I thought it was whether it was
an urban myth or not, but that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
So thanks, so yeah, thanks writing in Lynn.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
And now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
And good morning everybody, Wednesday morning, on his twelfthday.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
And a quick hello because I've got a couple of
fun stories to share with you before we kick into
the news.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Neil, good morning morning, and Kono there you are, and Amy, Hello,
and a hello good morning. And Will I can only
see the top of your very bald, shiny head, so
you want to make morning.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Camera a little bit? Oh yeah, good morning?

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Oh there you are on the monitor. Hey, good morning,
all right. Two stories. Story number one. Yesterday I was
on a panel that iHeart our cluster was promoting and
this was to a bunch of car dealers and which
the company does that all the time, as major companies
does pitch to specific customer base. So there were seven

(01:31):
of us, each from a radio station. Valve from whatever
the hell station he's on, but I never know who
stayed with stations the other people. Yeah that too, okay,
whatever is my FM one of our stations? Yes, okay,
thank you for that.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
So we're on a panel and everybody is talking about
buying a car, and an experience is about recently buying
a car. And as you know, last week I bought
a car and I ended up buying Alexis.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
And I was explaining in terms of looking for a car.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
I said, you know, I've been driving the BMW's now
for twenty five years and I just got tired of
it and it was time for something new.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
That sounds a lot like my marriage, okay. And then
I went into talking about buying Alexis.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, So where was the BMW folks there?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
As a matter of fact, they weren't, but there were
Alexus dealer or two there, So thank you for that.
And then the last question that was asked by the
moderator and we just went down the line is why
should advertisers advertise with you? And it went down the
line and as legitimately and it was expected. Is because

(02:49):
people trust me, because they know I'm behind the product
going down the line, because I've been talking to people
for so many years and they know what I want
and I would never misguide them. I would never guide
them in the wrong direction. And then it came to me, okay, survey.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Says, what did I say?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I don't want to know.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Okay, I would know it was clean, everybody says, because
people believe in me, because I believe in the product.
And with my turn, because I really need the money.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
That worked.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
How'd that go over?

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Not well? But I thought it was okay? Okay.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
The other story I want to share with you is
I love talking about British politics. And British politics even
the prime minister is basically a member of Congress. There
members of parliament. It's here, for example, the president is
elected separately as a president and the cabinet members are

(03:57):
chosen by the president. Well, in England, the prime minister
is just a member of Parliament and then chosen by
the party to become the prime minister, and then the
prime Minister chooses the cabinet out of the members of Parliament.
You have to be a member of parliament. And here's
what happens. Every time a member of parliament, they have
to run again. Even people that are wildly successful. Mark

(04:20):
with Thatcher for example, had to run every single time
in her district. Now here's what typically happens is that
every time a member of Parliament runs, everybody else who
is running for that office also has a chance to run.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
It's just a question of signing up.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
And what they do is usually at school auditoriums or
union halls or whatever. They're up on the stage, all
of them and pitching themselves to the electorate and some
really interestings saying happen. There is one very famous politician,
very left wing, Nigel Farage, who is nationally known and

(05:02):
wins all the time, but he's running again. So on
a radio television show, I'm looking at a photo the
moderators is interviewing one of Nigel Farage's opponent opponent, and
it is a guy dressed in a trash can uniform
or trash can costume, a trash can on his head,

(05:27):
big one with you know, a little cutouts for face
and ears, or a face and mouth and eyes, and
then the rest of the trash Can comes down and
this is Count Binface, who is running against Nigel Farage.
Is a real count, I don't think so we can't

(05:48):
tell because he's covered by this trash can. Now a
Margaret Thatcher story which I've shared before. This was the
Prime Minister of England and one of the most famous
leaders world leaders out there. I mean, you know, work
with Ronald Reagan and the Falklands War. I mean, this
is iron She was one big, big deal. Well, when

(06:09):
it's her turn to run again, which she had to
because she had to win the election members of members
of Parliament, there she is on the stage and everybody
else who signed up ran against her. There was the
guy in the tin Man costume from Wizard of Oz.
There was the guy in the Abraham Lincoln costume with
beard and top hat. It just it's it is hilarious.

(06:33):
I wish we did that, I really do.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
We're not far off.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
No, we aren't. It would be fantastic. Okay, enough of that.
I just thought i'd share those stories with you and
let's do it. It is time for Handle on the
News with Amy neil Me lead story. Well, the President
confirmed the story that he secretly switched planes. We talked
about that yesterday when he traveled back from from that

(07:00):
summit because of security threats, and the Secret Service said
they were legitimate, they were plausible. And so what he did,
as we explained, is he got on Air Force one,
the old Air Force one. The new Air Force one
that he flew over there had already left and went
to England, and it was he went there for some

(07:24):
and then the reasons he gave were ridiculous that he
had to fly an old Air Force one because he
decided to send the new one to I think London,
so the members of our service Armed services there couldture
the plane or some crapple like that. And so he's
getting on air Force one, the old Air Force one.
He gets on, he waves to the crowd, gets on,

(07:45):
and then gets off on the other side of the
plane in a container, a catering truck container, and then
it is driven off to the other plane, the seven
fifty seven that is no longer Air Force one. They
didn't say that to get him out of the country.
And then he flew out and he went to England
and then flew back on Air Force one. So the

(08:07):
story is true. We talked about it yesterday as one
of those ruses, and I thought it was a great story.
He confirmed it, he actually did, So there you go,
just a story, he said, Yep, it happened, and it's
sort of like a you know who done it?

Speaker 5 (08:21):
One of those spy political thrillers. I kind of like that.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
David Ellison may take his ball and go home to
a new home. The CEO of Paramount has told his
leadership team that he would look to pull the company
out of California on October first, if there can't be
any progress made towards resolving a lawsuit filed by state
attorneys general, led by California's Rob Bonta. It seeks to

(08:50):
block the merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery. Leaving
the state, of course, would be the loss of a
major Hollywood studio, a big blow to the economy, and
the Attorney General Rob Bontas is threatening to leave the
state is basically blackmail.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
I have a question, and that is, even if California
drops its lawsuit. I remember there are dozens of other
attorneys general around the country, at least a dozen they're
also suing to stop the merger. And does he bail
out of all of them, because he's not in those states,
just California. So this is obviously a big political issue

(09:30):
on top of money. And does it stop the filming
of videos, commercials, films, etc. Here in California? Does it
stop the hemorrhaging of it anyway? Because everything is so
expensive here in southern California. You go to other states,
other countries, they give tax rebates, They actually pay money

(09:51):
for films to be done in those other countries. Union labor,
you know, the cost of a union guy or woman
who was working in hollyw who is a big chunk
of money. They get paid a lot of money. You
can go to Croatia, these film companies and for a
fraction of the amount of money paid for labor, you
can do it there, and they have some pretty skilled people.

(10:12):
How about New Zealand where you can hire someone for
eight dollars an hour who is skilled. They have people
there too. Lord of the Rings for example, filmed there.
So it's a little more complicated than that. And is
David Elson going to bail out? You know, I don't know,
I don't know, And this all is it has to
do of course with that. You drop your case and

(10:33):
blunt is right. It is blackmail, but so what so
what a private studio can say that you drop either
you stop going against us, or we're going to get
out of here.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
Blackmail.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yes, it is pretty much lost the battle in Hollywood Hull.
I think we have hemorry, Yeah, I think I think
we have He's guilty, he's guilty. Not, he's guilty, he's
guilty not. The White House seems to not be able
to make up its mind. Still a little pissed off
at the Justice Department. They're trying to get the Justice

(11:06):
Department to prosecute the man accused of vandalizing the Lincoln
Memorial reflecting poll even after US Attorney Jeanie Piro has
basically went to the judge in surprising detail by the way,
that the government decided to indict him on a felony
charge that was ill informed. She said, the botched renovation,

(11:30):
as we know now not vandalism, was responsible for the
reflecting pools problems, and that's not sitting well with the
prosee man, so he is no.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
He wanted he wanted prosecution to this guy period, because
he had insisted it.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Was vandalism and it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
It was the fact that the contractor completely screwed the
pooch on this and pieces of that lining of the
paint were floating at the top to the top.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Of the Trump came out yesterday, right.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
And yeah, he said, well, yes it was a problem,
but there was still vandalism. And then is pushing for
David Hearn to be prosecuted. Now, the interesting part about
this is that Piro goes and says that the Parks
Department basically screwed her over and gave her the wrong
information or gave her false information. The President said, and

(12:24):
he ripped into Piro. The President said, she caved, she
folded like an umbrella, and it should go forward because quote,
a highly credible witness saw Hern ripping and tugging at
the pool's coating.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
Now that's enough to go to trial.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
By the way, if you bring someone who says I
saw that happen, that's enough to go to trial. And
then the judge of the jury makes the determination. And
Piro said, no, we're not going to go to trial.
We're dropping it. So one of two things happened, political
pressure no notice the other way, or there was no

(13:01):
highly orse Let's say it was questionable that a highly
credible witness was going to go forward. So the President
just doesn't want to let go. He just it's vandalism.
He says, it's vandalism, and even when there really isn't
any proof, he goes, Okay, so maybe the company screwed up,
but still there was plenty of vandalism, and let's go
after this guy because he forcefully put his hand into

(13:25):
the water.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
That's what Piro said. He pushed his.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Hands into the water forcibly and then screamed at the
Parks Department, all of which constitutes a felony.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Some texts could spell trouble for doctor Fauci to Senate
Republicans have released a set of twenty twenty one text
messages that show doctor Fauci and other federal health officials
talking about how to weigh the potential risks against the
benefits of pregnant women getting the COVID nineteen vaccines. The
eleven text messages made public on Monday. The messages were

(14:05):
between Fauci, Surgeon General nominee nominee Vivek Murthy, and CDC
director doctor Rochelle Wilenski, and Fauci, in his text said
there's no data or theoretical reason to believe that vaccinating
early versus later in pregnancy would be preferred, but then
also said they theoretically it could be associated with miscarriage

(14:28):
in the first trimester.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
For that second shot.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
It turned out not to be. And so I don't
understand the controversy here. He's questioning it. He says that
the COVID vaccine should be given to basically everybody and
their dog, and it turned out that for the most part.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
He was right.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
So I don't see the controversy here. I'm missing something.
I really am. Also, you know, keep in mind that
Senator Ran Paul and Senator Ron Johnson were just are
adamant about nailing Fauci under any and all circumstances. Look
what happened at that hearing. Anything to get him to
say something negative, anything to get him to wave the
Fifth Amendment?

Speaker 5 (15:07):
What's the color of your tie? What time is it?

Speaker 4 (15:12):
And he can't even do that because that waves the
fifth And so what does what does Johnson say? You see,
you won't even give us the color of your tie.
You're such a liar, you know, I mean, stupid. Okay,
let's do one more.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
And Fauci was like I've got to go. I have
a lunch with Julia Roberts.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, good for him, you know, I mean the point
is there isn't There's not much? Yeah no, he just
sat there for five hours invoking the fifth over one
hundred times.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
All right, because the color of your skin, you will
get the glove again. Immigration and Customs Enforcement aka ICE
up There's may soon be outfitted with what is referred
to as the glove generated low output voltage emitter. The

(16:08):
glove and UH actually kind of cool technology. The glove
can give an UH an electric shock that aids INN.
It's say, they say it's a conductive distraction and de
escalation device and I want one, but they.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Will use it to UH to control protesters.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, now a one or two yesters necessarily this is for.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yeah, okay, fair enough ICE enforcement.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Now let me tell you I used to pay people
to use those gloves on me during certain.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Times and oh touch me there? Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Why don't like this?

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
Do they do they subdue people? Do they give you
a shock?

Speaker 3 (16:57):
What?

Speaker 2 (16:57):
They give you a shock?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
It's listen, they already have tasers in the like. It
just sai that it would be more convenient to have
them on your hands, and you put them on.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
You choke people with him, you grab them by the gonads,
and they just really comply very quickly, unless you go, hey,
that was fun.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
The DSA candidate doesn't get the vote. David Crowley has
won the Democratic primary in Wisconsin's race for governor, beating
out Democratic socialist Francesca Hong. So Crowley had dropped out
of the race about a month ago because he just
wasn't getting traction, but then he re entered the race

(17:37):
days later without going Democratic Governor Tony Evers's endorsement. Hong
is that lawmaker, the state lawmaker from Madison, who was
leading in the polls but had some very controversial positions,
including wanting to get rid of the Senate and also
saying that she wanted to cancel Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah, he's a fruitcake, is basically what she is. And
she wants to not just defund the police. She said,
you wanted to abolish the police. She's nuts, She's out
of her mind. Although she did come back and said
I am a different person now. I am that was
a long time ago, three months ago.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
How's that for a long time ago.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Wow, yeah, Fruitcake City.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
All right, Okay, California is going to begin phasing out paraquat.
It's a powerful weed killer associated with birth defects, thyroid issues,
other serious health problems. As a matter of fact, it's
so bad. Paraquad has banned in more than sixty countries
due to its toxicity, but still allowed for some reason
in the US, and no state uses more than.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
California, California.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, So the California Department of Pesticide Regulation that they're
going to get rid of this stuff.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Yeah, I mean that birth defects.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
I mean, too many of these kids were showing up
to try did jobs as what standings for flipper. It
just isn't good stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Nice, thank you.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
Mail in ballots prevail in court. A federal judge has
ruled against President Trump's executive order that sought to create
a federal voter list and directly involved the Postal Service
in election operations in a way that would limit mail balloting.
US District Court Judge Indira Talwanne had already halted the

(19:30):
order that Trump's signed in March. Tuesday's ruling creates another
legal hurdle for the Trump administration to overcome if it
gets the initial injunction lifted by the Supreme Court.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, he doesn't stop. I mean he wants this.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Limiting mail in voting has become like the number one
issue to the President, which I don't get because literally,
how does it affect us? The war in Iran affects
us for the price of oil, Well, yeah, that effects.
It's so important to the president is limiting mail in voting.
I mean, he thinks it is a real not only

(20:07):
just the detriment, but a danger to America. And I
just think he's missing the boat on this one. And
it may be for him, I think it is that
important to him, But you know, I have to tell
you, you know, let's look at priorities, all right.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
The farm a link to cyclosporiasis. That outbreak hadn't been
inspected in seven years. I guess the FDA is lagging
big time when it comes to the foreign inspection targets.

(20:44):
So you've got the FDA conducted just under a thousand
foreign food safety inspections in twenty twenty five five. And
the farm in Mexico, this is the one that they
believe to be the epicenter there of the ongoing I
closedporiasis outbreak in the US was.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Not one of them.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
So they are struggling like everyone else in government right
now with you know, costs and budgets and all of
those and layoffs and layoffs.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, they're getting smaller. But seven years. Man, well here
look at.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
These stats that they are mandated with carrying out these
these farms, these inspections, and less than ten percent of
these farms are being inspected.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Last ten years.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, yeah, basically it's it's non existent.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
The FDA's response to that, by the way, said the
requirement is just unrealistic.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
You know, it probably is, and the only way to
do it is lots of training and lots of money.
But you know there's a lot of a lot of
agencies need lots of training, lots of money.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
This is hart you've got to focus on Hello, no
pooping on the lettuce.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
And I would argue that this is more important than
mail in voting because this is your kid's health. Now
we go back to the issue of Flipper, but that
is at another point.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
First, the penny, how the nickel might be in trouble.
Oh man, the Senate passed a bill that's already been
passed in the House with unanimous consent on Friday. It's
called the Common Sense Act ce NTS. It formally calls
for the end of penny production, so pennies will still
remain legal tender, but then people will be able to

(22:37):
round up or round down. And there's still some controversy
on how that's all going to play out because it's
a lot of money. Under the Common Sense Law, the
nickel could also change because apparently the nickel's pretty expensive
to produce. It's worth five cents, but it costs thirteen
point three to one cents to produce a single nickel.
So under the new bill, they might redesigned the nickel

(23:01):
and make it cheaper to produce, using zinc and nickel
instead of seventy five percent coppers is currently used.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
And for the first time I had a round up
on something I bought. I was going to get ninety
two cents and change, and I got ninety five cents
and change.

Speaker 6 (23:18):
So you you scored three cents on that one.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
I scored three cents. It wasn't just a round up
or round down. They just rounded up and uh or
rounded down and gave me the change. So I had
not first time. It slawly happened to me once. But
it makes a lot of sense. I mean the penny
makes no sense at all, means zero. No, it makes
no sense. I mean considering pennies and what was this
stat that was just incredible billion billion pennies. That's eight

(23:47):
hundred pennies for every US citizen and if you count,
if you count illegal aliens, that's what that's what you
pay them of the lawn.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
No, what how much is oh three hundred billion billion?
I don't know, but eight hundred that the average person
has is eight dollars right.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yeah, that's uh, that's eight hundred of them, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
Yeah, So if it's three hundred billion pennies out there.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Of we have three hundred and what fifty billion people one?
I got to do the math on this, Yeah, okay,
Oh here's the story, Neil.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
So dogs know when you're happy or sad?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh handles poor dogs are like, oh, that man has
no joy. They have found. I don't know why they
had to do a study on this. It's pretty obvious
that they know the distinguished between emoceans on people's face.
So the University of Vienna, oh don't they have sausages
find their findings. Is that yeah, direct evidence there that

(24:51):
the animals can see whether you're happy or sad.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, they're finding some incredible things about what dogs can do.
I mean, it's really he now dogs right?

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Uh? Do they know between when I'm smiling and when
I'm sad? No?

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Not when I'm drop kicking picked, drop kicking them up
against the wall when they've acted out.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
No, they can't tell.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
You have to play with every wiener in your house.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
You bet. And I've got a couple of small ones.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Medically that's very unusual, I understand, but they are my
little doxies.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
Tommy is he.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Moving oyshe Moisia? Yeah, surely, yeah, I see, okay moving on.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
Is this kind of like giving all the kids a
participation trophy to make them feel good? The University of
Michigan is getting rid of grades for first semester freshman
next year. They say they're doing it in an effort
to curb the mental health crisis unfolding among college aged individuals.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Oh boy, or kids.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
If they don't study, they get bad grades and it
makes them feel bad.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, it's like they should do that for work, where
for the first year of work you can screw up,
just uncontrollably, but we're not going to fire you because
it'll make you feel bad. Uh yeah, I just come on, guys,
a pacification is it is You're.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Absolutely right, it's it's astounding. It is where we're where
we're going.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
And as much as this administration and conservatives want to
unwoke this stuff, uh, this still comes out and they're right.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
I mean, this is crazy stuff. And then some really
bad news on the cat front.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, this is a horrible story. Los Angeles Animal Shelters
recorded this sharp increase in ethan asiansation.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
No you Asians, that's right, it's among Asians. Yeah, they're
putting them down.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
Bring in someone who is Japanese into the shelter and
you go here.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Of cat, cats and kittens through the first six months
of the year, so officials tribute in part to a
raisin animals brought to the shelters. Nearly nine hundred kittens
were euthanized from January through June, up from about six
hundred the first six which is a lot from the
first six months of the last year. For a forty
