Speaker 3 (00:07):
Can you hear me? You can? And I don't know
if there's an echo going on there because I just
lost my mouse. Here it is, I just found it.
Oh underneath, it was underneath my plate of locks and bagels.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
There it is, okay, priorities, man, priorities.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Sorry what you say, Neil, I was just putting my
headset on too.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I said priorities, you dumb ass.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You know, we get started.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You know this week I get started.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
You know I have, I have. I must tell you
that we've been doing this show for a very very
long time. In all of the years that our morning
show has been broadcast, never once, not once, have we
ever been accused of professionality.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Don't say we yeah, Oh no, it's a wee. It's
only no. You're like a nineteen seventy seven buick that
you need to like heat up, run on the driveway
for a while before you can drive it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Good morning, Neil, Oh, hey Bill, Hey there you are?
And Amy, Good morning Bill, Yes, ma'am, and oh will
costco shirt right? Can't hear you will now microphone off
see profession. Oh there you go. That's my Costco finest
(01:39):
yep it is.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The other day I went to Costco and I bought
four Hawaiian shirts four They were fifteen bucks apiece, and
I brought them home and Lindsay says, you're going to
return these right now? She goes, these are not going
to we will not deign to have these in the closet.
Has she got a hold of your Root sixty six shirt? Yeah, no,
(02:01):
I'm not letting that one go, mainly because of what
does to Michelle. She goes out of her mind when
I don't know, I don't just she just has a
thing about it. You know, there's it just presses some
kind of button it does with her. I have no
idea why, but it's maybe she has an allergy to
Root sixty six Hawaiian shirts, which are way I.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Mean, why does your wife care? What if you buy
shirts at Costco?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Oh no, it's not a question to buying shirts at Costco.
She's fine with Costco clothes. I have a bunch of
shorts for example. Your taste she just hates, uh, just
hates Costco shirts. She's fine with pants she's fine with.
She's fine with socks, underwear. T shirts, that's fine. It's
just the shirts she can't stand. The Hawaiian shirts she
(02:48):
can't stand because that's all I buy. All right, An,
there you are, good morning. Hello, Hello, and Tony is
in for Kono today. Cono is From what I understand,
it's his daughter's first day at kindergarten. So that is
kind of special, although I don't. I don't understand why
(03:08):
you would ever want to go to your kid's first
day of kindergarten. It's stop.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It for.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Very special. I cried, it's going to be so cute.
I was just saying, yeah, I was thinking, Conna is
just going to.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Cry like baby.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I cried.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's really it's pretty intense when they go to their first.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
How come I don't understand? Why do I not understand that.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You have a pig heart? No, I have a pig valve,
same thing.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No, it's not. Valves are not hearts.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Valves are your parents didn't love you and you're still
make up for it. I just can't.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
They realized very early on as a little tiny baby.
Although I wasn't tiny, I was born enormous by the way.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
It that's why your mother hated you.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, she was in.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Labor for twenty four hours. Those were in days when
c sections were up and down and not across. They
actually used to do sea sections vertically and she had
a sea section scar basically from her neck all the
way down.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'd hate you too, And then he talked early. He
came right out and went.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Why, yeah, it was. It was a rough labor, it
really was. And it was. It was in Brazil some Paula,
which you know and not to some Paula was a
backwards country. But there was some issues. Uh there was
a witch doctor that actually delivered me with he put
to the chicken blood at the corners. He cut off
(04:39):
a chicken's head and was dancing around the delivery room
and hey, yeah, and uh there was it was.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It was good.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
A lot of feathers boone through the nose. I mean
those are the doctors. Okay, Uh, that's let us start
if we will. All right, it's time for Handle on
the News on this Thursday morning, August thirteenth. As we
begin the show, late story, Carolyn Lovett is stepping down
(05:12):
as the White House Press Secretary, and this was announced
by the president, and she is very close. Not one
of those where the resident is firing her. I'm sure
he's not very happy about that. And she said, and
he said, it's to let her spend more time with
her family. She has, I think a two year old,
and then she has just a baby that was born
(05:33):
a couple of months ago and came back from maternity leave.
And it's just it's a tough job. Her job is
almost impossible. The press secretary's job is a twenty four
to seven job. It is very difficult to do. Also,
you know, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong on this one.
How do you stand in front of the press day
after day after day an utter lie after lie. A
(06:00):
lot of press secretary does not to that extent.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Every press secretary.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So let me ask you this. Okay, Let's say the
stock market goes down four hundred points and this press
secretary stands up and goes the stock market is up
four hundred pounds or four See, that's the problem. We're
not talking about spinning, We're not talking about obfuscating. We're
(06:27):
talking about straight out inflation is down.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
President Biden is top fit and ready to go. That
is they all they all have to garbage. I get
that he's unique. He's a unique brand of I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Telling you, telling you I had a you know, Biden.
I mean there, that's true. You know there was a
time when press secretary is actually told some truth. I
mean they spun it. Of course there was spin on it,
but not just making stuff up out a whole cloth.
And if I remember correctly again and not that spin
did it? Did Carol Levitt or press secretary of Joe
(07:05):
Biden say the doctors determined he is the most fit
president in the history of the United States? Did you
hear that?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Because nobody is more hyperbolic than the Orange Man. However, Uh,
they all spin. That's when you start getting off. It's
beyond spinning. I'm sorry, guys, it's beyond spinning. You can't
argue it's it's taken spin to another level. I just
have a hard time with any press secretary the president
(07:33):
is uh, we had they never said fit. Maybe they did,
But if cognizant doesn't have a problem with Biden, and
yeah he was, the inner circle was worried sick about
the president, and they were covering up how how horribly
Biden was doing.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I get that but it's just uh, this one. I'll
tell you what my problem is is Karen Levitt stands
up and it's raining outside, and she says, the sun
is shining. That's the problem I have. The stock market
is up, it's not inflation. Is thou under control? And
(08:09):
prices are lower than they have ever been? You view
out a spin? Okay, moving on, kneel I couldn't hear you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh, I said, you get up every morning and tell
us that the sky is falling and we're all dying.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's true, I do, but I am not the press
secretary because no one believes me. No one believes me. Okay,
let's move on.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
LA doesn't want to get stuck with the bill, so
the city council has a new deal with the organizers
of the twenty twenty eight Summer Games to hopefully control
the city's costs. The council improved the Enhanced City Resources
Master Agreement big title lays out the process for the
(08:55):
city to get reimbursed for services provided during the games.
But still some on the council are warning that taxpayers
could wind up on the hook for a billion dollars
in police and other public safety costs if LA twenty
eight incurs serious losses.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Well, according to this story that the city is going
to only go to losses up at two hundred and seventy.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
No, the city council said they could not wind up
on the hook for a billion dollars in police and
public safety costs, particularly if the President comes to La
to open the games.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
What if the president comes?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, No, if the president opens the games, the security
based on the risks and based on the threats against
this president, particularly because the threats I think are far
greater with Donald Trump than any other president for a
long long time. That is going to increase the secure
purity triple. And that happens across the board. I mean,
(10:04):
this is a tough time for a president to go
public in any sense. It's just the security is just
completely crazy. You have to be I mean the risks,
I mean, look at this.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Haven't they planned for him? Like presidents always show up
for like McCrone was in France.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, sometimes they do, Usually they do. Usually they open
the games. I don't know did Putin open the games
in Moscow? Did he say I now declare the whatever
olympiad opened? Uh? I know he was at opening ceremonies
where he's sat.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Don't don't they doesn't the head of the IOC declare
the games opening.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
No, No head of state declares that open. Yeah, it's uh.
And the security is going to be crazy. It's going
to reach levels that we don't even know, and so
it's uh. There's that two hundred and six seventy million
dollars contingency fund was set up by LA twenty eight
that's going to be used. Anything above that goes to
the state. Uh, it's going to be pretty expensive stuff
(10:59):
to say the lead.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Do you think he's gonna want to medal?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, and it'll be.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Gold medals.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
His base off.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
He's going to walk around the entire Olympic Games.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
With medals bronze, silver, and Trump.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
He's pushing people off the podium. Mine.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I was going to do the gymnastics, but I sprained
an ankle.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You see, Amy, you were you were about to hit
me because I was. But to say an anti Trump
statement about that, it didn't. It was just recognizing the
security levels of security that.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Well, I'm sure that.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
But what I'm saying is I think that they've already
planned for that contingency because you're right, it's the head
of state of the host country is who declares the
games open.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Okay, let's take a break. We're coming back.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Let's do it more. Handle on the news, Amy and
Neil and me.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The eighth largest powerball jackpot in history was one just
yesterday night by a single ticket in Illinois. So the
winning balls, who cares what they were, but the number
then they have the power play multiplier, which was the
number two. But the final ticket sales pushed the final
jackpot to one point zero four billion, making it the
(12:21):
largest powerball prize one this year.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And in Illinois, which makes a lot of sense. The
winner can remain anonymous. How in states where the winter
is made public is completely insane.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, I don't understand that. Why don't you want to
do that? It's like target on something.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't you know. The
biggest one was here or southern California. I guess some
guy won that two billion dollar one, and I think
he ended up buying a place out in Malibu for
forty four million dollars. Oh yeah, remember that one.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
He bought a place in the Hollywood Hill. Yeah, and
I believe he bought was it an Alta dinner? He
one of I think he lost one of his homes
in the fires.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Didn't he buy Alta Dina?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh? Boy? But a crazy about. The only way I'd
want to want win that much money is so I
could treat you like a peon.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh is if you don't already all right?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No, but like I would be able to go. Oh,
I would get the four houses too on both sides
of you, knock them down and build a palace. Yeah.
That was to look down on you.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And if I want anywhere near that kind of money,
you would be listening to my assistance. Assistant assistant, do this,
show your harem, your forth and fifth wife.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
We got a special circumstance. Prosecutors unsealed a murder indictment
against Nick Reiner in the deadly stabbing of his parents,
Rob and Michelle Rhiner. You remember that happened last December
at their home in Brentwood after a holiday party. The
new indictment replaces the original murder counts filed late last year,
(14:06):
and it includes the allegation that he was lying in wait,
which is a special circumstance that makes him subject to
either life without parole or possibly the death penalty.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, it's one or the other. That's a special circumstance.
He's going to get life imprisonment without parole because there's
too many issues going on with his mental state. This
is not just a cold blooded killer who is going
around killing people. I mean, obviously there's some huge issues.
And it's if he's convicted, which it looks like he is,
(14:41):
the defense will argue for life imprisonment because of his
mental issues, and I think it's going to fly.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, that's a whole lot of nuts. All right. So
we heard about the catering cart incident, the switching of
the planes, all of that stuff with the president. The
other day, US intelligence officials were skeptical, apparently of an
Iranian assassination threat against President Donald Trump. It was relayed
to the US Powers that Be by Israel and prompted
(15:11):
that extraordinary kind of cleandestine maneuver we were all talking about.
But you know, another official reports that threats against Trump's
life that were Israeli derived, not US generated, we're you know,
acted upon but with low confidence.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, because that's what happens with intelligence. It doesn't say
this is going to happen. This is not going to happen.
It's levels of confidence low, medium confidence, high confidence. And
this is Israel crying a lot of wolf anything to
get Trump on their side, and they're saying, hey, we
got some intelligence and we're basically going to save the
(15:55):
president's life. Is effectively what they were saying. I'm surprised,
and this was shoulder shoulder mounted missiles or rockets, these
stingers which go surface to air. I'm kind of surprised
that they haven't been used before to bring down planes
for heads of state, where we don't hear about that
all the time. Smuggling in one of these you can
(16:16):
do in a large suitcase. So anyway, did it happen?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
We don't have any anti missile defense on the Yeah,
we do, of course one.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There are some there are, but at what point and
how effective they are, that's that's completely secret. Now the
CIA and Secret Surface had to act on this even
with low level confidence. I mean, there's no choice. So
tomorrow I want to do a story on how this
was so unique, so unusual as to dealing with the president.
(16:50):
There have been Bill Clinton took a secret flight George W.
Bush took a secret flight and didn't tell the press.
There's a story about Putin. This is how he lives.
I mean, it's story after story of how secret he
runs around. I think we're going to do that tomorrow.
It's a great story. Okay, let's do one more and
we'll take a break.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Cracking down on animal cruelty. Animal and law enforcement officers
are going to be cracking down on illegal breeding and
animal sales in and around skid Row. It's part of
the Mayor's plan to prevent animal cruelty. So the LAPD
and LA Animal Services now have a permanent partnership and
(17:35):
they had some training, so now they're working together to
do this. The message from Mayor Bass is, our message
is clear. If you abuse, are a neglect an animal,
you will be held accountable to the fullest extent of
the law.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Okay, let's go ahead and take a break.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You're listening to Bill Handled on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And we continue Handle on the news. Amy here is here,
Neil is here. I am not the am here, if
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The Ukraine is limping along, they say with only a
tenth of the interceptor missiles it urgently needs from the
United States here to stop surging Russian ballistic missile attacks.
And you know, Russia is not stupid. The ballistic attacks
have risen fast in recent weeks because you know, they
(18:30):
hit the capital of Kiv particularly hard, because they're exploiting
the fact that Ukraine's near zero stocks of the Patriot
interceptor missiles are a huge achilles heel right now.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And the story is is that, as zelenskis saying, if
the US sell's ten percent of its US patriots, then
they will be able to really fight Russia. The problem is,
I don't know if how many US patriots are left
because of the story of how much of the stock
(19:04):
was used in the Iranian war and the war that's
going on, and we're getting all kinds of different takes
on this. Either we have tons of them, or we're
almost out, or somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I thought Europe was helping them as well.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Europe was helping them and is helping them because the
United States, from what I understand, for the last year,
has not given them much of anything. And what they're
looking for specifically are this major missile system and the
problem is fighting drones, and Russia is quickly gaining a
(19:38):
tremendous ability to use drones coming in from North Korea.
Iran uses drones as helping Russia out. And Ukraine actually
is the best at drone technology in the world right now.
And so thirty five thousand dollars you can launch a
very successful drone program that's per drone. These interception missiles
(20:00):
are four million dollars apiece. How is that for? You
fight thirty five million dollars, You fight thirty five thousand
dollars with four million dollars. That goes south pretty quickly.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
No big surprise.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Bessara's beating Steve Javier Basera still has a strong lead
over Republican Steve Hilton in the race to be the
next governor of California. Bessara has support from fifty five
percent of likely voters surveyed. Hilton has thirty seven percent.
The remaining seven percent are undecided, And of course they're
(20:38):
falling along party lines pretty much. Eighty eight percent of
Democrats prefer Basara. Ninety one percent of Republicans say that
they will back Hilton.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, and the problem for any Republican candidate here in
California is that Democrats are going to win, come hell
or high water, because the number of Democratic voters versus
Republican voters, so we're the bluest of the blue states,
and so the I think Republicans have a very very
poor chance of grabbing anything other than those particular districts
(21:09):
in which there is a Republican stronghold, a couple of
them even. You know, traditionally red areas are now purple
in California.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's the color you get when you're choking and then
finally die. That's why AH got it. Well, the recent
wildfires causing all kinds of destruction here in southern California,
the last thing we need is betting on it. Apparently
turns out people are placing bets on wildfires on these
(21:45):
prediction markets sites like poly Market. I guess I don't
know much about these, not a big gambling man myself.
And now California lawmakers are trying to crack down on
that because this is a massive trend, warning that those
bets could create incentive for arson, and I can I
(22:05):
can't argue with that.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
How is it not going to create an incentive for arson?
Is because you can bet on a fire starting. Oh yeah,
go out there and start a fire. You've just won
the bet. Yeah, this is you know, I can see that.
The problem is proving it. How do they know who's
going to start a fire, who isn't? So you just
(22:28):
don't bet on wildfire starting at all or who's going
to be killed. You can't do that many structures that Yeah,
Oh fun story.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
A new election denier, Mike Lindell. But my pillow guy
was running for governor of Minnesota and the Republican primary,
but he lost by eleven percentage points, and he's not
conceding the race.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
No.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
He says that he believes two hundred and sixty five
thousand votes cast on election day had not yet been counted,
and says that could push him into the lead. He says,
there's two hundred and sixty five thousand votes left to count.
I'm down by eighteen thousand. We just gained five thousand.
I'm not going to give up this race until the
votes are counted.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Now this gets interesting. A couple questions I have is
number one two hundred and sixty five thousand votes? And
where did he get that figure? Because certainly the state
said no, nope, and the election official said, no, they
don't exist. Second of all, why did he only say
two hundred and sixty five thousand votes. Why didn't he
(23:34):
say twenty six point five million votes haven't been counted yet,
and they're all for me. Well, because the population is
a third of that doesn't matter. It's I get these votes.
And by the way, the election denier thing, he's always
been an election denier.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But don't they just do the math and say you're
not going to there is no path to?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Of course they do, of course they do. But then
he makes up a fit figure saying X number of
votes are they haven't counted? And where are they? It
doesn't matter you haven't counted them. There's there's nothing here.
And unfortunately, I don't know how much we're hearing fixed,
election rigged. I don't think we're hearing as much as
(24:15):
I thought we were going to hear. And I think
at least we're getting reasonable or getting let's say more
reality is kicking in. But you got crazy people. Mike
Lindell he lost his company basically because he's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
He's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Bad story, which is too bad because I like his pillows.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, I wouldn't buy a pillow, and that's the problem
because of Lindell. They could be the best pillows in
the world, and people just don't buy them because of
how crazy he is. And so here we go, I
have I'm gonna win the election, and everybody goes, what
are you talking about? So no surprise there. All right,
(24:52):
let's take a break. We will come back and we'll
finish up Handle on the News on this Thursday morning.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It is a Thursday morning, August thirteenth, and we finish
Handle on the News with Amy Neil and me.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
This is a special for you, Bill.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oklahoma, Alabama, and Tennessee are each planning to carry out
an execution on the same day, and that, my friend,
is today.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah. Now what I'm hoping is they do it in
subsequent time, you know, ten eighteen and then ten twenty
and then ten twenty two, and will pretend it's a
relay race and it's all way to go. Yees oh.
I would in an instant, if I, if I had
(25:45):
the ability to make the decision, I would put these
executions on a pay per view and the money goes
to whatever program anti crime program, and how much money
do you think it would raise? How much would people
pay to see at execution?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
And before this is the first, by the way, to
have this triple execution on the same day on three
different states, will be the first such triple execution in
the country in sixteen years. But before you right us
or send a talk back about how horror well we're being,
Alabama is planning to execute Jeremy Williams by lethal injection
(26:26):
today for the twenty twenty one rape and murder of
a five year old girl.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah. By the people who are against the death penalty
say things like everybody can be rehabilitated. The only ones
that I actually pay attention to is morally, the state
should not put people to death. Wrong, I have no
problem with the state putting people to death. Oh a
quick factoid. California when it did the gate, when it
(26:54):
had the gas chamber, they could do two at the
same time, do a double hit, and they're right next
to each other, like a pilot and a co pilot
in a fighter plane, right next to each other. And
I think there are a couple of times when we
did the double hit.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
The other murder was two thousand and three murder of
the guy's common law wife. These were all women, by
the way. Yeah yeah, well females, five year old girls,
not a woman, but that's just horrific. Then Tennessee is
putting down a winning human for the death in nineteen
eighty five murder of a mother of four. Yeah great, huh, So.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Taylor Farms takes another hit. These guys can't catch a break.
So Taylor Farms, of course dealing with the cyclost bariasis
outbreak from that lettuce that was sourced out of Sineloa, Mexico.
Now they've got a recall going because of jalapenos that
(27:59):
are tainted with or possibly tainted with salmonella. We mentioned
last week that they were sold at Chipotle's in Minnesota,
so they took them off the menu, and then Kedoba's
took them off the menu.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Well, now they are.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Doing recalls in twenty seven states. Had products that have
jalapenos in them at Kroger's, Targets, Trader Joe's, Walmart's, Whole Foods,
Hannaford Stopping Shop. The only good news in all of
this is it does not affect stores in California.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, so, I mean, here's a question I want to
ask you yet. Yeah, all of these taken off the menu.
When is Taylor Farmers going to be taken out of often?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
That's what I was thinking too.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I don't know, but I love their salads.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well, oh, well, enjoy it's you'll lose some weight. I
think it's cute that in the break room now at
Taylor Farms, they have a science says, let us not
poop on the produce. It lettuce is spelled like lettuce.
I think that's very team building. All right. Assembly Bill
eight seventeen and Senate Bill seven sixteen would hold certain
(29:07):
businesses like lineage to higher standards. So, of course lineage.
We've been hearing about that massive warehouse fire boil Heights
since it began nearly two months ago. So the fire
there at the warehouse broke out on June seventeenth. Millions
of pounds of rotting food remained, futrid odors, flies, pests
and all that it attracted. And now they're looking for ways.
(29:29):
If you're going to operate near community like this, you
have the responsibility to take care of that community. And
you know, time tide, I know.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Lineage is getting nailed for this. Oh and my question
is what have they done to clean this up? Is
have they acted reasonably that a company of this size,
under these circumstances, there's been a reasonable attempt to clean
it up, or have they just fallen by the wayside
and not I have done its job, which it should do.
(30:02):
And I haven't heard that story yet, Amy, I haven't
heard a report on that yet.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Well, they're cleaning it up. They've got ninety percent of
the food out. They had more than eighty five million pounds.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And that's the point. That's the point I'm making. What
more can be done? If they're doing everything reasonable? You know,
for example recalls. All right, you have a car that's recalled,
and there's eight hundred thousand of them been recalled, and
your car happens to be seven hundred thousand, nine hundred
and ninety nine. Oh my god, I'm three years away.
(30:34):
Look what you're doing to me? Well, what's reasonable? If
you've got eight hundred thousand, someone's got to be at
the back end. And the point is, when you have
this kind of cleanup, something has to not be cleaned
up until the back end.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I don't know for the community big time, and there's
good people. They're Boil Heights. It's a great community. However,
I think that the politicians don't know how to have
hand a list, and they're just pointing fingers at the
company and it's going.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
And again, I would like to know what the company
has done.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
They wanted to rebuild, and Bass was saying, how dare
you asked to rebuild them? And then I thought, well,
doesn't that mean cleaning it up as fast as you
can and getting a structure back there? Who put who
allowed the license to be able to have a factory
or a warehouse that close to a community.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Then well it could be that that that that business
was there before the community uh even went to that
area that it was it was open land when when
the company first started. Happens all the time. You know
Fullerton for example, you remember when the uh the tower
went down, uh the KFI tower. Uh? Oh yeah, airplane
(31:49):
went into the tower. Remember that. And by the way,
that plane very few people know about this, but that
plane was actually chartered by KBC uh and was purposely
people that died. Jackass, Okay, well you can't argue too soon.
This happened years ago and then it fell down again
because the company screwed up that did it. But the
(32:09):
point is Fullerton Airport went completely nuts with the neighborhood
and it was there before the neighborhood was that airport.
So what do you do with that? Okay, we're done.
Guys coming up, chatbots tell you where they're hitting. How
about writing your laws and the chatbots are doing it? Okay,
(32:30):
we'll come back with that. Kf I am sixty.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my
show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
You're listenings k F I am six forty the Bill
Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

No, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Can you hear me? You can? And I don't know
if there's an echo going on there because I just
lost my mouse. Here it is, I just found it.
Oh underneath, it was underneath my plate of locks and bagels.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
There it is, okay, priorities, man, priorities.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Sorry what you say, Neil, I was just putting my
headset on too.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I said priorities, you dumb ass.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You know, we get started.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You know this week I get started.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
You know I have, I have. I must tell you
that we've been doing this show for a very very
long time. In all of the years that our morning
show has been broadcast, never once, not once, have we
ever been accused of professionality.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Don't say we yeah, Oh no, it's a wee. It's
only no. You're like a nineteen seventy seven buick that
you need to like heat up, run on the driveway
for a while before you can drive it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Good morning, Neil, Oh, hey Bill, Hey there you are?
And Amy, Good morning Bill, Yes, ma'am, and oh will
costco shirt right? Can't hear you will now microphone off
see profession. Oh there you go. That's my Costco finest
(01:39):
yep it is.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The other day I went to Costco and I bought
four Hawaiian shirts four They were fifteen bucks apiece, and
I brought them home and Lindsay says, you're going to
return these right now? She goes, these are not going
to we will not deign to have these in the closet.
Has she got a hold of your Root sixty six shirt? Yeah, no,
(02:01):
I'm not letting that one go, mainly because of what
does to Michelle. She goes out of her mind when
I don't know, I don't just she just has a
thing about it. You know, there's it just presses some
kind of button it does with her. I have no
idea why, but it's maybe she has an allergy to
Root sixty six Hawaiian shirts, which are way I.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Mean, why does your wife care? What if you buy
shirts at Costco?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Oh no, it's not a question to buying shirts at Costco.
She's fine with Costco clothes. I have a bunch of
shorts for example. Your taste she just hates, uh, just
hates Costco shirts. She's fine with pants she's fine with.
She's fine with socks, underwear. T shirts, that's fine. It's
just the shirts she can't stand. The Hawaiian shirts she
(02:48):
can't stand because that's all I buy. All right, An,
there you are, good morning. Hello, Hello, and Tony is
in for Kono today. Cono is From what I understand,
it's his daughter's first day at kindergarten. So that is
kind of special, although I don't. I don't understand why
(03:08):
you would ever want to go to your kid's first
day of kindergarten. It's stop.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It for.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Very special. I cried, it's going to be so cute.
I was just saying, yeah, I was thinking, Conna is
just going to.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Cry like baby.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I cried.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's really it's pretty intense when they go to their first.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
How come I don't understand? Why do I not understand that.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You have a pig heart? No, I have a pig valve,
same thing.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No, it's not. Valves are not hearts.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Valves are your parents didn't love you and you're still
make up for it. I just can't.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
They realized very early on as a little tiny baby.
Although I wasn't tiny, I was born enormous by the way.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
It that's why your mother hated you.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, she was in.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Labor for twenty four hours. Those were in days when
c sections were up and down and not across. They
actually used to do sea sections vertically and she had
a sea section scar basically from her neck all the
way down.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'd hate you too, And then he talked early. He
came right out and went.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Why, yeah, it was. It was a rough labor, it
really was. And it was. It was in Brazil some Paula,
which you know and not to some Paula was a
backwards country. But there was some issues. Uh there was
a witch doctor that actually delivered me with he put
to the chicken blood at the corners. He cut off
(04:39):
a chicken's head and was dancing around the delivery room
and hey, yeah, and uh there was it was.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It was good.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
A lot of feathers boone through the nose. I mean
those are the doctors. Okay, Uh, that's let us start
if we will. All right, it's time for Handle on
the News on this Thursday morning, August thirteenth. As we
begin the show, late story, Carolyn Lovett is stepping down
(05:12):
as the White House Press Secretary, and this was announced
by the president, and she is very close. Not one
of those where the resident is firing her. I'm sure
he's not very happy about that. And she said, and
he said, it's to let her spend more time with
her family. She has, I think a two year old,
and then she has just a baby that was born
(05:33):
a couple of months ago and came back from maternity leave.
And it's just it's a tough job. Her job is
almost impossible. The press secretary's job is a twenty four
to seven job. It is very difficult to do. Also,
you know, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong on this one.
How do you stand in front of the press day
after day after day an utter lie after lie. A
(06:00):
lot of press secretary does not to that extent.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Every press secretary.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So let me ask you this. Okay, Let's say the
stock market goes down four hundred points and this press
secretary stands up and goes the stock market is up
four hundred pounds or four See, that's the problem. We're
not talking about spinning, We're not talking about obfuscating. We're
(06:27):
talking about straight out inflation is down.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
President Biden is top fit and ready to go. That
is they all they all have to garbage. I get
that he's unique. He's a unique brand of I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Telling you, telling you I had a you know, Biden.
I mean there, that's true. You know there was a
time when press secretary is actually told some truth. I
mean they spun it. Of course there was spin on it,
but not just making stuff up out a whole cloth.
And if I remember correctly again and not that spin
did it? Did Carol Levitt or press secretary of Joe
(07:05):
Biden say the doctors determined he is the most fit
president in the history of the United States? Did you
hear that?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Because nobody is more hyperbolic than the Orange Man. However, Uh,
they all spin. That's when you start getting off. It's
beyond spinning. I'm sorry, guys, it's beyond spinning. You can't
argue it's it's taken spin to another level. I just
have a hard time with any press secretary the president
(07:33):
is uh, we had they never said fit. Maybe they did,
But if cognizant doesn't have a problem with Biden, and
yeah he was, the inner circle was worried sick about
the president, and they were covering up how how horribly
Biden was doing.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I get that but it's just uh, this one. I'll
tell you what my problem is is Karen Levitt stands
up and it's raining outside, and she says, the sun
is shining. That's the problem I have. The stock market
is up, it's not inflation. Is thou under control? And
(08:09):
prices are lower than they have ever been? You view
out a spin? Okay, moving on, kneel I couldn't hear you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh, I said, you get up every morning and tell
us that the sky is falling and we're all dying.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's true, I do, but I am not the press
secretary because no one believes me. No one believes me. Okay,
let's move on.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
LA doesn't want to get stuck with the bill, so
the city council has a new deal with the organizers
of the twenty twenty eight Summer Games to hopefully control
the city's costs. The council improved the Enhanced City Resources
Master Agreement big title lays out the process for the
(08:55):
city to get reimbursed for services provided during the games.
But still some on the council are warning that taxpayers
could wind up on the hook for a billion dollars
in police and other public safety costs if LA twenty
eight incurs serious losses.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Well, according to this story that the city is going
to only go to losses up at two hundred and seventy.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
No, the city council said they could not wind up
on the hook for a billion dollars in police and
public safety costs, particularly if the President comes to La
to open the games.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
What if the president comes?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, No, if the president opens the games, the security
based on the risks and based on the threats against
this president, particularly because the threats I think are far
greater with Donald Trump than any other president for a
long long time. That is going to increase the secure
purity triple. And that happens across the board. I mean,
(10:04):
this is a tough time for a president to go
public in any sense. It's just the security is just
completely crazy. You have to be I mean the risks,
I mean, look at this.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Haven't they planned for him? Like presidents always show up
for like McCrone was in France.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, sometimes they do, Usually they do. Usually they open
the games. I don't know did Putin open the games
in Moscow? Did he say I now declare the whatever
olympiad opened? Uh? I know he was at opening ceremonies
where he's sat.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Don't don't they doesn't the head of the IOC declare
the games opening.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
No, No head of state declares that open. Yeah, it's uh.
And the security is going to be crazy. It's going
to reach levels that we don't even know, and so
it's uh. There's that two hundred and six seventy million
dollars contingency fund was set up by LA twenty eight
that's going to be used. Anything above that goes to
the state. Uh, it's going to be pretty expensive stuff
(10:59):
to say the lead.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Do you think he's gonna want to medal?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, and it'll be.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Gold medals.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
His base off.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
He's going to walk around the entire Olympic Games.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
With medals bronze, silver, and Trump.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
He's pushing people off the podium. Mine.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I was going to do the gymnastics, but I sprained
an ankle.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You see, Amy, you were you were about to hit
me because I was. But to say an anti Trump
statement about that, it didn't. It was just recognizing the
security levels of security that.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Well, I'm sure that.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
But what I'm saying is I think that they've already
planned for that contingency because you're right, it's the head
of state of the host country is who declares the
games open.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Okay, let's take a break. We're coming back.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Let's do it more. Handle on the news, Amy and
Neil and me.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The eighth largest powerball jackpot in history was one just
yesterday night by a single ticket in Illinois. So the
winning balls, who cares what they were, but the number
then they have the power play multiplier, which was the
number two. But the final ticket sales pushed the final
jackpot to one point zero four billion, making it the
(12:21):
largest powerball prize one this year.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And in Illinois, which makes a lot of sense. The
winner can remain anonymous. How in states where the winter
is made public is completely insane.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, I don't understand that. Why don't you want to
do that? It's like target on something.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't you know. The
biggest one was here or southern California. I guess some
guy won that two billion dollar one, and I think
he ended up buying a place out in Malibu for
forty four million dollars. Oh yeah, remember that one.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
He bought a place in the Hollywood Hill. Yeah, and
I believe he bought was it an Alta dinner? He
one of I think he lost one of his homes
in the fires.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Didn't he buy Alta Dina?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh? Boy? But a crazy about. The only way I'd
want to want win that much money is so I
could treat you like a peon.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh is if you don't already all right?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
No, but like I would be able to go. Oh,
I would get the four houses too on both sides
of you, knock them down and build a palace. Yeah.
That was to look down on you.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And if I want anywhere near that kind of money,
you would be listening to my assistance. Assistant assistant, do this,
show your harem, your forth and fifth wife.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
We got a special circumstance. Prosecutors unsealed a murder indictment
against Nick Reiner in the deadly stabbing of his parents,
Rob and Michelle Rhiner. You remember that happened last December
at their home in Brentwood after a holiday party. The
new indictment replaces the original murder counts filed late last year,
(14:06):
and it includes the allegation that he was lying in wait,
which is a special circumstance that makes him subject to
either life without parole or possibly the death penalty.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, it's one or the other. That's a special circumstance.
He's going to get life imprisonment without parole because there's
too many issues going on with his mental state. This
is not just a cold blooded killer who is going
around killing people. I mean, obviously there's some huge issues.
And it's if he's convicted, which it looks like he is,
(14:41):
the defense will argue for life imprisonment because of his
mental issues, and I think it's going to fly.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, that's a whole lot of nuts. All right. So
we heard about the catering cart incident, the switching of
the planes, all of that stuff with the president. The
other day, US intelligence officials were skeptical, apparently of an
Iranian assassination threat against President Donald Trump. It was relayed
to the US Powers that Be by Israel and prompted
(15:11):
that extraordinary kind of cleandestine maneuver we were all talking about.
But you know, another official reports that threats against Trump's
life that were Israeli derived, not US generated, we're you know,
acted upon but with low confidence.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, because that's what happens with intelligence. It doesn't say
this is going to happen. This is not going to happen.
It's levels of confidence low, medium confidence, high confidence. And
this is Israel crying a lot of wolf anything to
get Trump on their side, and they're saying, hey, we
got some intelligence and we're basically going to save the
(15:55):
president's life. Is effectively what they were saying. I'm surprised,
and this was shoulder shoulder mounted missiles or rockets, these
stingers which go surface to air. I'm kind of surprised
that they haven't been used before to bring down planes
for heads of state, where we don't hear about that
all the time. Smuggling in one of these you can
(16:16):
do in a large suitcase. So anyway, did it happen?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
We don't have any anti missile defense on the Yeah,
we do, of course one.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There are some there are, but at what point and
how effective they are, that's that's completely secret. Now the
CIA and Secret Surface had to act on this even
with low level confidence. I mean, there's no choice. So
tomorrow I want to do a story on how this
was so unique, so unusual as to dealing with the president.
(16:50):
There have been Bill Clinton took a secret flight George W.
Bush took a secret flight and didn't tell the press.
There's a story about Putin. This is how he lives.
I mean, it's story after story of how secret he
runs around. I think we're going to do that tomorrow.
It's a great story. Okay, let's do one more and
we'll take a break.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Cracking down on animal cruelty. Animal and law enforcement officers
are going to be cracking down on illegal breeding and
animal sales in and around skid Row. It's part of
the Mayor's plan to prevent animal cruelty. So the LAPD
and LA Animal Services now have a permanent partnership and
(17:35):
they had some training, so now they're working together to
do this. The message from Mayor Bass is, our message
is clear. If you abuse, are a neglect an animal,
you will be held accountable to the fullest extent of
the law.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Okay, let's go ahead and take a break.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You're listening to Bill Handled on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And we continue Handle on the news. Amy here is here,
Neil is here. I am not the am here, if
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The Ukraine is limping along, they say with only a
tenth of the interceptor missiles it urgently needs from the
United States here to stop surging Russian ballistic missile attacks.
And you know, Russia is not stupid. The ballistic attacks
have risen fast in recent weeks because you know, they
(18:30):
hit the capital of Kiv particularly hard, because they're exploiting
the fact that Ukraine's near zero stocks of the Patriot
interceptor missiles are a huge achilles heel right now.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And the story is is that, as zelenskis saying, if
the US sell's ten percent of its US patriots, then
they will be able to really fight Russia. The problem is,
I don't know if how many US patriots are left
because of the story of how much of the stock
(19:04):
was used in the Iranian war and the war that's
going on, and we're getting all kinds of different takes
on this. Either we have tons of them, or we're
almost out, or somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I thought Europe was helping them as well.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Europe was helping them and is helping them because the
United States, from what I understand, for the last year,
has not given them much of anything. And what they're
looking for specifically are this major missile system and the
problem is fighting drones, and Russia is quickly gaining a
(19:38):
tremendous ability to use drones coming in from North Korea.
Iran uses drones as helping Russia out. And Ukraine actually
is the best at drone technology in the world right now.
And so thirty five thousand dollars you can launch a
very successful drone program that's per drone. These interception missiles
(20:00):
are four million dollars apiece. How is that for? You
fight thirty five million dollars, You fight thirty five thousand
dollars with four million dollars. That goes south pretty quickly.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
No big surprise.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Bessara's beating Steve Javier Basera still has a strong lead
over Republican Steve Hilton in the race to be the
next governor of California. Bessara has support from fifty five
percent of likely voters surveyed. Hilton has thirty seven percent.
The remaining seven percent are undecided, And of course they're
(20:38):
falling along party lines pretty much. Eighty eight percent of
Democrats prefer Basara. Ninety one percent of Republicans say that
they will back Hilton.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, and the problem for any Republican candidate here in
California is that Democrats are going to win, come hell
or high water, because the number of Democratic voters versus
Republican voters, so we're the bluest of the blue states,
and so the I think Republicans have a very very
poor chance of grabbing anything other than those particular districts
(21:09):
in which there is a Republican stronghold, a couple of
them even. You know, traditionally red areas are now purple
in California.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's the color you get when you're choking and then
finally die. That's why AH got it. Well, the recent
wildfires causing all kinds of destruction here in southern California,
the last thing we need is betting on it. Apparently
turns out people are placing bets on wildfires on these
(21:45):
prediction markets sites like poly Market. I guess I don't
know much about these, not a big gambling man myself.
And now California lawmakers are trying to crack down on
that because this is a massive trend, warning that those
bets could create incentive for arson, and I can I
(22:05):
can't argue with that.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
How is it not going to create an incentive for arson?
Is because you can bet on a fire starting. Oh yeah,
go out there and start a fire. You've just won
the bet. Yeah, this is you know, I can see that.
The problem is proving it. How do they know who's
going to start a fire, who isn't? So you just
(22:28):
don't bet on wildfire starting at all or who's going
to be killed. You can't do that many structures that Yeah,
Oh fun story.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
A new election denier, Mike Lindell. But my pillow guy
was running for governor of Minnesota and the Republican primary,
but he lost by eleven percentage points, and he's not
conceding the race.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
No.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
He says that he believes two hundred and sixty five
thousand votes cast on election day had not yet been counted,
and says that could push him into the lead. He says,
there's two hundred and sixty five thousand votes left to count.
I'm down by eighteen thousand. We just gained five thousand.
I'm not going to give up this race until the
votes are counted.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Now this gets interesting. A couple questions I have is
number one two hundred and sixty five thousand votes? And
where did he get that figure? Because certainly the state
said no, nope, and the election official said, no, they
don't exist. Second of all, why did he only say
two hundred and sixty five thousand votes. Why didn't he
(23:34):
say twenty six point five million votes haven't been counted yet,
and they're all for me. Well, because the population is
a third of that doesn't matter. It's I get these votes.
And by the way, the election denier thing, he's always
been an election denier.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But don't they just do the math and say you're
not going to there is no path to?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Of course they do, of course they do. But then
he makes up a fit figure saying X number of
votes are they haven't counted? And where are they? It
doesn't matter you haven't counted them. There's there's nothing here.
And unfortunately, I don't know how much we're hearing fixed,
election rigged. I don't think we're hearing as much as
(24:15):
I thought we were going to hear. And I think
at least we're getting reasonable or getting let's say more
reality is kicking in. But you got crazy people. Mike
Lindell he lost his company basically because he's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
He's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Bad story, which is too bad because I like his pillows.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, I wouldn't buy a pillow, and that's the problem
because of Lindell. They could be the best pillows in
the world, and people just don't buy them because of
how crazy he is. And so here we go, I
have I'm gonna win the election, and everybody goes, what
are you talking about? So no surprise there. All right,
(24:52):
let's take a break. We will come back and we'll
finish up Handle on the News on this Thursday morning.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It is a Thursday morning, August thirteenth, and we finish
Handle on the News with Amy Neil and me.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
This is a special for you, Bill.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oklahoma, Alabama, and Tennessee are each planning to carry out
an execution on the same day, and that, my friend,
is today.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah. Now what I'm hoping is they do it in
subsequent time, you know, ten eighteen and then ten twenty
and then ten twenty two, and will pretend it's a
relay race and it's all way to go. Yees oh.
I would in an instant, if I, if I had
(25:45):
the ability to make the decision, I would put these
executions on a pay per view and the money goes
to whatever program anti crime program, and how much money
do you think it would raise? How much would people
pay to see at execution?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
And before this is the first, by the way, to
have this triple execution on the same day on three
different states, will be the first such triple execution in
the country in sixteen years. But before you right us
or send a talk back about how horror well we're being,
Alabama is planning to execute Jeremy Williams by lethal injection
(26:26):
today for the twenty twenty one rape and murder of
a five year old girl.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah. By the people who are against the death penalty
say things like everybody can be rehabilitated. The only ones
that I actually pay attention to is morally, the state
should not put people to death. Wrong, I have no
problem with the state putting people to death. Oh a
quick factoid. California when it did the gate, when it
(26:54):
had the gas chamber, they could do two at the
same time, do a double hit, and they're right next
to each other, like a pilot and a co pilot
in a fighter plane, right next to each other. And
I think there are a couple of times when we
did the double hit.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
The other murder was two thousand and three murder of
the guy's common law wife. These were all women, by
the way. Yeah yeah, well females, five year old girls,
not a woman, but that's just horrific. Then Tennessee is
putting down a winning human for the death in nineteen
eighty five murder of a mother of four. Yeah great, huh, So.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Taylor Farms takes another hit. These guys can't catch a break.
So Taylor Farms, of course dealing with the cyclost bariasis
outbreak from that lettuce that was sourced out of Sineloa, Mexico.
Now they've got a recall going because of jalapenos that
(27:59):
are tainted with or possibly tainted with salmonella. We mentioned
last week that they were sold at Chipotle's in Minnesota,
so they took them off the menu, and then Kedoba's
took them off the menu.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Well, now they are.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Doing recalls in twenty seven states. Had products that have
jalapenos in them at Kroger's, Targets, Trader Joe's, Walmart's, Whole Foods,
Hannaford Stopping Shop. The only good news in all of
this is it does not affect stores in California.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, so, I mean, here's a question I want to
ask you yet. Yeah, all of these taken off the menu.
When is Taylor Farmers going to be taken out of often?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
That's what I was thinking too.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I don't know, but I love their salads.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Well, oh, well, enjoy it's you'll lose some weight. I
think it's cute that in the break room now at
Taylor Farms, they have a science says, let us not
poop on the produce. It lettuce is spelled like lettuce.
I think that's very team building. All right. Assembly Bill
eight seventeen and Senate Bill seven sixteen would hold certain
(29:07):
businesses like lineage to higher standards. So, of course lineage.
We've been hearing about that massive warehouse fire boil Heights
since it began nearly two months ago. So the fire
there at the warehouse broke out on June seventeenth. Millions
of pounds of rotting food remained, futrid odors, flies, pests
and all that it attracted. And now they're looking for ways.
(29:29):
If you're going to operate near community like this, you
have the responsibility to take care of that community. And
you know, time tide, I know.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Lineage is getting nailed for this. Oh and my question
is what have they done to clean this up? Is
have they acted reasonably that a company of this size,
under these circumstances, there's been a reasonable attempt to clean
it up, or have they just fallen by the wayside
and not I have done its job, which it should do.
(30:02):
And I haven't heard that story yet, Amy, I haven't
heard a report on that yet.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Well, they're cleaning it up. They've got ninety percent of
the food out. They had more than eighty five million pounds.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And that's the point. That's the point I'm making. What
more can be done? If they're doing everything reasonable? You know,
for example recalls. All right, you have a car that's recalled,
and there's eight hundred thousand of them been recalled, and
your car happens to be seven hundred thousand, nine hundred
and ninety nine. Oh my god, I'm three years away.
(30:34):
Look what you're doing to me? Well, what's reasonable? If
you've got eight hundred thousand, someone's got to be at
the back end. And the point is, when you have
this kind of cleanup, something has to not be cleaned
up until the back end.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I don't know for the community big time, and there's
good people. They're Boil Heights. It's a great community. However,
I think that the politicians don't know how to have
hand a list, and they're just pointing fingers at the
company and it's going.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
And again, I would like to know what the company
has done.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
They wanted to rebuild, and Bass was saying, how dare
you asked to rebuild them? And then I thought, well,
doesn't that mean cleaning it up as fast as you
can and getting a structure back there? Who put who
allowed the license to be able to have a factory
or a warehouse that close to a community.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Then well it could be that that that that business
was there before the community uh even went to that
area that it was it was open land when when
the company first started. Happens all the time. You know
Fullerton for example, you remember when the uh the tower
went down, uh the KFI tower. Uh? Oh yeah, airplane
(31:49):
went into the tower. Remember that. And by the way,
that plane very few people know about this, but that
plane was actually chartered by KBC uh and was purposely
people that died. Jackass, Okay, well you can't argue too soon.
This happened years ago and then it fell down again
because the company screwed up that did it. But the
(32:09):
point is Fullerton Airport went completely nuts with the neighborhood
and it was there before the neighborhood was that airport.
So what do you do with that? Okay, we're done.
Guys coming up, chatbots tell you where they're hitting. How
about writing your laws and the chatbots are doing it? Okay,
(32:30):
we'll come back with that. Kf I am sixty.
