1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:11.679
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand
from kf I AM six forty. I

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:17.120
came up with the best themed day
that you could ever have for a restaurant.

3
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:26.359
August sixth, What Bill the day
that Hiroshima was bombed sauteed mushrooms?

4
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.480
No, oh my god. No, the guy thought it was good.

5
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:36.719
Nobody thinks that's good. Bill Nobody, And now handle on the news,

6
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:44.320
ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle, and good morning everybody. Bill Handle

7
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.479
here on Tuesday morning, July sixteenth. Oh, so I thought yesterday was

8
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:55.200
a big day as we talked about
what happened on Saturday night and last night

9
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.479
the RNC opened up the Republican National
Convention. And I had said this,

10
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.879
I said, football pool, how
big would the bandage be on Donald Trump's

11
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.079
ear? Turned out it was a
Maxi pad. Oh, it wasn't that

12
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.120
big. It was pretty big.
It was a good point. You know,

13
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.439
anybody else would have had one of
those flesh colored band aids on the

14
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.799
wound. By the way, that's
not me, well it is me making

15
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.719
fun of it. But and I'm
gonna talk more about this. This was

16
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.560
the most brilliantly staged national convention we've
ever had. And you have to give

17
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.400
all the credit for that one on
Donald Trump. This is his stuff,

18
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.000
this is what he does better than
anybody else, and he's a showman.

19
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:55.319
And but he pulled it off brilliantly
walking into the convention hall and what's his

20
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.040
face singing I'm proud to be an
American. Yeah, I mean, just

21
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.280
brilliant, brilliantly done. And I'm
gonna talk more about that. Also,

22
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.000
he teared up, He literally teared
up. Son did as well, Yeah,

23
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.800
Son did. But I've never seen
Donald Trump tear up in all the

24
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.439
years, and it was appropriate for
him to do so. I mean,

25
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.560
the guy two nights before came that
close to dying. Here's a man who

26
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.280
he could have been dead two nights
before, came as close to dying being

27
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.199
killed as you can get. And
you could see and then the accolades in

28
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.240
the audience. I mean it was
more than even Chris Wallace, who's been

29
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.800
covering these conventions forever, I've never
seen anything like it. But I said

30
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.639
that was going to happen. I
mean, Donald Trump to these people is

31
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.360
a deity. This is no longer
he is not a political figure. He

32
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.439
is not He is this short of
God to these people. And it's true.

33
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.479
It's just it's extraordinary what he has
done. As I said, two

34
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.840
hundred years from now, you know
whether you think this is a good president

35
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:02.879
or bad president. And history will
tell us because and it takes decades and

36
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:08.319
decades for historians to really look at
this, never in within fifty or sixty

37
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.280
years. But I will tell you
he will be considered the most unique president.

38
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.159
Maybe Teddy Roosevelt was considered, but
I don't think even on the same

39
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.039
level. I really don't. All
right, hello to one and all.

40
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.000
Neil, good morning, good morning, Willie Wolf, Yes, and good

41
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:31.319

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:08.439

little. I would fill in for everybody,

49
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.159
and that's just the way it works. So who's uh, and who's

50
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.639

in on next week? Do we know?

51
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.879
I'm not sure yet, Okay,
I think it might be Petros.

52
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.240
Haven't gottensation either one. I mean, is going to be a I me,

53
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.360
yeah, we could do that.
It'll just be It'll just be audio

54
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:36.639
of being going oh Bill, now, now now. So it's going to

55
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.079
be a combination. I'll ask Petros
about some singular play that happens, and

56
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.759
he'll tell me what the player had
for lunch. And because it's you,

57
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.079
yeah, being pretty much always food
with me pretty much. All right.

58
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.439
Oh, we have so much to
cover today, that's for sure. Republican

59
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.120
nominee for president interesting guy. JD
fans to say the least. Boy has

60
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.920
he turned around? I mean he
was a Trump hater and vicious attacks on

61
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.040
Trump. That's changed, didn't a
good chunk of the Republican Party. Not

62
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.319
like Trump at the beginning? Oh
yeah, I mean he was like a

63
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:20.079
never Trump. Oh absolutely absolutely.
We have just so much going on today,

64
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:25.560
all right, So let's do it
and we start first hour as we

65
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.160
always do, handle on the news
with Ammy King, Neil and me lead

66
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:40.160
Sorry JD Vance, Ohio Senator.
Is Trump's running mate. It was announced

67
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.800
yesterday, you know, in Dvance
found out twenty minutes before Trump announces it

68
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.600
on True Social. Isn't that crazy? It was almost like a game show.

69
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.040
It was almost like the Oscars America
where they go, why know the

70
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.319
runner up? Yeah, he's just
still. And it came out that way

71
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.759
too, because as we're I was
watching CNN and Fox yesterday and they were

72
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.240
like, oh, Marco Rubio just
got the call, he's out. Oh,

73
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.040
Doug Bergham got the call he's no
longer in the running, and all

74
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.560
of them. Well, I only
saw the Doug Bergman interview where it was

75
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.879
no, I'm not disappointed. No, Vance is the perfect choice. No

76
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.600
I am. I'm the governor and
I'm going to stay the governor. It's

77
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.319
the best job. You know.
It's almost like it's almost as if if

78
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.000
he were asked, he would say, no, I'm really busy. Well

79
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.959
not quite. Yeah, I didn't
want it anyway. Yeah, a lot

80
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.199
going on. Wouldn't it be fun
if they actually said, you know what,

81
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.319
I'm ticked, I really wanted the
job. I know, God forbid

82
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.399
anybody being honest. Vance is an
interesting choice. We're gonna talk more about

83
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.600
him later on he's an interesting guy. Yeah, he is a very interesting

84
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:57.000
guy. Married to a Hindu.
I just by the way woman and they

85
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.759
had a Hindu ceremony. I just
saw her for the first time. Yeah.

86
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:06.399
I would like to say good for
him. Did you see Uh?

87
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.600
I don't know if you saw pictures
of their wedding. It was a Hindu

88
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:16.279
ceremony. Uh. The uh the
clergy The clergyman had eight arms. It

89
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:27.680
was just fascinating. Okay, anybody
else hearing crickets not, it's just me.

90
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:33.839
Okay, geez man Ah, it's
a visual Yeah, yeah, Hey,

91
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:40.480
it's not over yet. So the
judge in Florida yesterday dismissed the classified

92
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:46.959
documents case against Trump, but the
special counsel, who the judge said was

93
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:51.279
unconstitutionally appointed to the case, uh, is appealing and the DOJ said,

94
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.560
Yep, go ahead. I think
the appeal is going to fly. It

95
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.319
was such a long shot argument in
front of the judge that the Trump team

96
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.480
didn't even bring it up in all
of the other cases in a special prosecutor

97
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.759
case there's two of them going on, and didn't bring it up in the

98
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.879
first one. It was a last
minute hail Mary and the judge bought it.

99
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.279
But then again, this judge,
Aileen Cannon, has been so pro

100
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:26.839
Trump across the board. Trump is
the teff law and candidate slash president slash

101
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.960
future president. I mean he cannot
lose in court. Well, he's lost

102
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:39.519
in the stormy Daniels travel. That's
unimportant. This is but lost versus gain.

103
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.480
Oh yeah, I mean his gain
is just and then of course,

104
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.679
I mean, thank goodness that he
survived. It was Van van Jones yesterday

105
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.279
on CNN who I like. I
mean, the guy is brilliant in terms

106
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.279
of his analy analysis, super liberal, and he said something that I thought

107
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.639
was absolutely great. He goes,
I don't want Trump to win, but

108
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.159
I also don't want him in the
hospital or dead. And I thought a

109
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.799
good way of putting it was a
very good way of putting it. Yeah,

110
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.919
I thought that was excellent. I'm
going to talk more about this,

111
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:16.600
by the way, at at seven
thirty the case. Oh, Judge Cannon,

112
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.559
Yeah, yeah, what happened?
All right? Elon Musk, who

113
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.360
said that he wasn't going to back
either of the candidates, has said that

114
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.519
now he plans to commit around forty
five million a month to a new super

115
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:39.120
political action committee a pack back backing
former president Donald truck. This is astronomical

116
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:46.240
money. He had not endorsed Trump
until the assassination attempt, and then literally

117
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.759
within minutes he endorses Trump. I
thought it came a little bit before that.

118
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.720
No, I think it came after
that. Well, I will tell

119
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.159
you this. The interesting thing is
when you put these dollars in mind that

120
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:05.159
big Hally would charit, not charity, but a fundraiser. Yeah, for

121
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.279
Biden was thirty million. Yeah that
they raised for that night forty five million

122
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.200
yere kick Keep in mind a month, yeah, a month, forty five

123
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.559
million dollars a month over the next
four months. I mean, this is

124
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.480
astronomical money. I don't think anybody
has given this much money ever in the

125
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.320
history of presidential policy. That's ugly
Truck money. Oh man, it is.

126
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.919
It is serious money. And so
he even was one hundred and seventy

127
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.519
one hundred and eighty million dollars.
Come on, I mean, you know,

128
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.759
how does anybody afford that? Well, I'll tell you why, because

129
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:43.080
Elon Musks were two hundred and forty
five billion dollars as of today, the

130
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.159
richest man on the planet. Before
we go on, I want to tell

131
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.480
you a story. We were at
Neil and I were at the Anaheim White

132
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.279
House for their bast Still Day amazing. It was great dinner, amaze and

133
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.080
a couple of videos that I did
there, which I'm not going to tell

134
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.519
you about because there's so much fun, and I'm i'll post some stuff to

135
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.639
Neil is going to put them up. And I don't know if you were

136
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:13.159
there when this this woman comes up
to me and she said, I build

137
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.360
you recognize me. I go,
no, she goes, I was a

138
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.000
surrogate mother for you twenty six years
ago. Oh the woman in Green.

139
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.159
Yes she had. She did it
twice for the same couple. No,

140
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.679
she did for two different couples,
twins both times. And I was moved.

141
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.039
I was moved. Not as moved
as I was with the smoked salmon,

142
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:39.639
which was particularly good, but still
very your priorities. So that was

143
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.240
pretty neat. I mean that,
do you know that I've had in my

144
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.879
career? In story he had twenty
five hundred kids? Wow, thank god

145
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.000
they're not yours. Yeah, I
will tell you. You and I were

146
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.879
talking about it that night, and
I was blown away when we all did

147
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.159
the math that your first kid is
forty four or yeah, forty four years

148
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.279
old. Now that's and the first
kid I did for a gay couple.

149
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.879
And this is when we couldn't even
admit that gay couples having kids for gay

150
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.240
couples was even allowed. I mean, you know, I thought I'd go

151
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.840
to prison for that. Didn't you
write the law I did? But that

152
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.039
kid is forty two years old,
so I mean, it's hard to believe.

153
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.679
And now no longer in surrogacy,
and I'm staying with the most important

154
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.480
job on the planet, harassing you. Neil. It's it's an honor.

155
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.559
It is an honor, an honor. Huh. Okay, back we go

156
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.440
more handle on the news with Amy
Neil and me. It's kind of like

157
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.120
a don't ask, don't tell policy. But Governor Newsom has signed a bill

158
00:12:52.279 --> 00:13:01.159
into law that bans school districts from
requiring staff to notify parents and if their

159
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.600
child starts identifying as a different gender, changes his or her pronouns, that

160
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.240
kind of thing. I don't quite
understand this. I understand that kids having

161
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.279
privacy, but how do parents not
know yet at the same time the kid

162
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:22.559
in school is identifying as the other
sex. Let's say you have a young

163
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:28.080
boy mom and dad don't know when
he comes down for dinner. In address,

164
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.679
I mean, I don't. Practically
speaking, I don't understand. I

165
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.519
understand the political aspects of this.
And by the way, this is a

166
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.720
political statement more than any practical statement. Well, I'll tell you one.

167
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.720
I mean, this is not even
in the same stratosphere. But when I

168
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.120
was a young punk rocker, my
parents didn't let me dress a certain way,

169
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.879
and I would leave the house looking
one way. Of course, I

170
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.679
knids do that all the time,
and that was an expression of who I

171
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.440
was. That No, understand this
is different. There is such a difference

172
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.080
between gender identification and dressing. I
remember Barbara who would cont for a couple

173
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.200
of times changing clothes. I go, what, we're going to make some

174
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.080
extra money down on Santa Monica Boulevard. Is that what you plan on doing?

175
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.960
Woh, Father of the Year,
You're done? Not dit it out

176
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.960
of your system. I'm done,
okay. The impacts of human caused climate

177
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.639
change, that's an interesting way.
I don't know that I've ever read.

178
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.159
Oh this is CNN. Never mind. The impacts of human caused climate change

179
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.600
are so overwhelming they're actually messing with
time. According to New research. Now,

180
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.960
it's small matter of milliseconds a day, but with high tech equipment and

181
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.360
everything like that, that is important
when you're dealing with computers, when you're

182
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.120
dealing with all kinds of high tech. I mean milliseconds a day. I

183
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.799
mean, this will have just tremendous
influence in next I don't know, two

184
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.519
point three billion years in terms of
actually having an effect. And by then

185
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:05.799
the Earth is going to be spinning
so fast we're all going to fly right

186
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.600
off. That's right, absolutely,
because it's getting that. Yes, it's

187
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:15.120
definitely speeding up. I mean we're
going to hell in a hand basket quickly.

188
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.360
The world will be fine, will
be dead. Yeah, nothing's happening.

189
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.799
The Earth is going to be fine. Now. The world has the

190
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:28.519
ability of being very resilient. The
planet is very resilient. Ten billion what

191
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.159
would it the equivalent of the asteroid
or whatever that hit sixty five How old?

192
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.960
The universe is fourteen billion years old, so I guess the Earth is

193
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.679
in the range of that's something to
ask, Well, sixty five million years

194
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.480
ago an asteroid or something hit the
Earth and the dinosaurs gold. Yeah,

195
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.320
yeah, but that is the equivalent
I think of ten million atomic bombs,

196
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.159
So I think it's gonna be just
fine. Hey, sirih oh Man,

197
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:03.559
how old is the Earth? Four
point five billion? We're both wrong?

198
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.200
Well, no, you were both
wrong. I never made that. I

199
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:11.440
never said ten billion. No you
said ten billion? Amy? Did it

200
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.559
say billien billion? I swis,
do not draw me into this. I

201
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.559
said ten million atomic bombs. I
think is what I was trying to say.

202
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.159
And I think that might even be
incorrect. Hey, Siri, Oh,

203
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.240
for the love of Pete, what
is the equivalent of ten million atomic

204
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.600
bombs? Your mom? I have
no idea what you're talking about. Okay,

205
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.519
Uh, that's Siri by the way, all right, let's move on.

206
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.120
That is the only girl that we'll
talk to you, and that's the

207
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.799
only reason why you keep asking her
questions, all right, Amy? Yeah,

208
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.360
COVID's going down the drain, literally, because that's where they're measuring COVID

209
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:49.840
levels. National virus measurements in sewage
have reached high levels for the first time

210
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:56.360
the summer. Coronavirus levels in California's
wastewater are now estimated to be slightly are

211
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:02.559
actually significantly higher than they were last
summer. So that's how they tell Now,

212
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.839
I guess ye, they test the
sewage. Now, how about you

213
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.759
walking in with one hundred and four
temperature. No, no, we're gonna

214
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.920
test the sewage. Well that's a
you're not gonna go test. Everybody test

215
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.799
their poop. It's easier, It's
easier, all right. During the Republican

216
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:26.920
National Convention in Milwaukee, Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell, who you know,

217
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:32.640
has had a bumpy relationship, to
say the least, with Trump, he

218
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.240
faced booze from the crowd as he
cast Kentucky's delegate votes for US. And

219
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:42.480
look at what he did. He
was one of the biggest criticizers of Trump

220
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:49.440
during the January sixth running of the
Capitol, and he stood up and he

221
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.319
blamed Donald Trump not for the actual
attack, but he said Donald Trump did

222
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.359
act did not act appropriately. It
was appropriately, It was a derelict in

223
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.000
duty, et cetera. He ended
up endorsing Trump, Okay, outright.

224
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.720
I mean, he's a strong endorser
supporter of Trump. He never took that

225
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.759
back. He never said I was
wrong. Now you have Republicans that are

226
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:17.880
saying, not only was Donald Trump
not wrong, he was right. He

227
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.559
is uh. He asked patriots to
change what was an illegal, unconstitutional election.

228
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.839
So you have those who are in
prison are patriots or hostages, and

229
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:32.720
if Trump gets elected vast vast majority. I mentioned this last night filling in

230
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.119
for Tim Conway Junior, that if
that is your mentality, then you could

231
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:42.880
have someone on the left say that
Donald Trump is such a threat to democracy.

232
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.920
Oh absolutely that it was right what
that wing nut did on that.

233
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.680
Yeah, there are people. Oh
no, you should have seen Instagram.

234
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:56.000
I mean I was checking out Instagram. I mean it exploded with liberals saying,

235
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.160
oh my god, he missed.
What a shame. I mean a

236
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.000
lot of that, a lot of
that going down. There's something really wrong

237
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.279
with us. Oh, there is
something so wrong it's ridiculous. Now,

238
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.519
is Trump going to pardon all of
the hostages. No. I think there

239
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:18.119
are one or two that have been
convicted of attacking police officers and harming them

240
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:25.359
with their own weapons. I think
those people may not be pardoned because Trump

241
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.920
did say I'm not going to pardon
all of them. I'll look at it

242
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.039
on a case by case basis,
but the general premise is that they are

243
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.440
patriots who overran the election. I
mean, it's tough, You're right,

244
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.839
I mean, it's just it's a
different world last night. Well, we'll

245
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.480
talk more about the convention later on, because last night, I mean,

246
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:48.079
I was watching another planet that the
one I live on. All right.

247
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:55.720
Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab is going
to gradually wind down its operations in the

248
00:19:55.799 --> 00:20:00.880
US and says it's going to lay
off all its US based employees after the

249
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.319
Department of Commerce announced a ban on
the firm selling its products in the States.

250
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.920
They say that after two decades of
operations in the US, the company

251
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:15.079
has carefully examined and evaluated the impact
of the US legal requirements and made this

252
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.440
sad difficult decision as business opportunities in
the country are no longer viable. Yeah.

253
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.720
Too close to the Russian government,
So Russian company and Putent controls everything.

254
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.680
But that's no big deal. I
mean, this is not that big

255
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.480
a company four hundred million people in
two hundred and forty thousand companies around the

256
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:36.000
world. Eh, yeah, could
be bigger. It's tiny, yeah,

257
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.079
tiny ah. This is this is
big, big stuff, all right.

258
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:48.720
Macy's, Macy's not Macy's management ended
talks with private investors. This was a

259
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.559
you know, they were attempting to
take over the company, but Macy says,

260
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.680
you know what, We're going to
pursue our own turnaround strategy, strategy

261
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:02.359
and remain remake the chain as a
whole. But they want to do it

262
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.960
themselves rather than just selling it out
right to someone else. Yeah. And

263
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.079
by the way, that's up in
the air, because we may see it

264
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:15.119
go one way, or we may
see it go another way. That wait,

265
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.200
what we may may see it go
one way, we may see it

266
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:23.920
go another way. Let me explain
that to you. I wasn't so lazy.

267
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:32.000
Had get up and slap your face
right now. Okay, So,

268
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.319
speaking of up in the air in
the not so friendly skies, United Airlines

269
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.720
has issued an apology to Hall of
Fame running back Terrell Davis. He was

270
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:48.880
detained and questioned following a flight from
Denver to the John Wayne Airport. Here's

271
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.920
what Terrell Davis says happened. He
said that he was on a flight with

272
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.519
his wife, his two sons,
and a daughter. He says his son

273
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.000
asked a flight attendant for a cup
of ice. The flight attendant didn't respond

274
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.720
on so Terrell Davis says he tapped
the flight attendant to get his attention.

275
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.160
The flight attendant yelled, don't hit
me and ran off toward the front of

276
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:15.319
the cabin. And then nothing happened
until the plane landed. And that's when

277
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.960
Terrell Davis says that FBI agents and
other law enforcement agents got on board,

278
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.720
handcuffed him and escorted him off the
plane. Yeah, and he told his

279
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:33.839
story, which was corroborated by the
people sitting around him. And United is

280
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.920
apologizing left, right and center,
as they should. And we don't know

281
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.119
the flight attendant's name rightly, so
because I think the flight attendant would be

282
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:47.039
killed suddenly. Football McGee was the
name of the flight attendant. Yeah,

283
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.839
And so if this flight attendant is
not fired, I mean instantly, I

284
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.640
would be shocked. All right,
We're going to get some audio on this

285
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.279
in a second. But country singer
I'd never heard of her before England d

286
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:07.160
and Dress was the talk of social
media yesterday. She delivered a memorable version

287
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.319
of the national anthem before the MLB
home run derby at Globe Life Field in

288
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.960
Arleeington, Texas. Now she is
apparently an accomplished singer songwriter. You couldn't

289
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:26.119
tell, but this dethroned Fergie from
twenty eighteen in her NBA All Star Game

290
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:41.720
song. So let's give it a
listen. Yes, very strong? Wow,

291
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:52.279
what ofless? Okay, now I
have a question. Oh my lord,

292
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.759
was that booing or were people just
stunned? I think it's a little

293
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.799
bit all the above. That that's
the first time I heard that. I

294
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.920
had read, I'd seen that that
it took place, and I saw pictures.

295
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:08.359
That's God bless her Rose Roseanne Bart
what I first of all, the

296
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:14.680
national anthem, star Spangled Banners impossible
to sing. It's just Whitney Houston.

297
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.559
No, it's it's you can't sing
it. Well, you have Irving Berlin

298
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.160
who wrote America the Beautiful, which
is a lovely song written by an American.

299
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.960
Uh, and it's not the national
anthem. And so now it's star

300
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.200
Spangled Banner, which was an English
drinking song in the English pubs. Yep.

301
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:40.160
But most of our songs are not
are modified, not the Irving Berlin

302
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.039
songs. That's an original, but
there are a lot of that were that

303
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.559
were drinking, you know, English
drinking songs. That a kind of I

304
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:51.160
don't know if you remember in the
sixties at the Olympics, Russia did not

305
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.160
have a national anthem for many many
many years. So as the Olympics,

306
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.519
the flags go up and the national
anthem of the country wins goes up at

307
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.480
the Olympics, you know, on
a banner or whatever. It would be

308
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:08.359
silent. When Russia had its national
anthem, it had no national anthem.

309
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:12.839
So the polup Burero said, we're
writing one for next year, for the

310
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:21.279
next Olympics, and they came up
with one. Lusha is and the Hatikva,

311
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:23.880
which is the Israeli national anthem,
which is very easy to sing.

312
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:30.960
By the way, is that was
written I think in the late forties,

313
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.200
early fifties. So you know,
national anthems do change. I think they

314
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.720
go back to the founding of a
country. Well when was ours written?

315
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.279
Well, I don't know when to
put the song, but this is the

316
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.440
basis of the Franciscott Key poem,
you know, the bombs bursting in era

317
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.240
he was talking I think it was
eighteen thirties, eighteen forties, so I

318
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.680
was talking about the War of eighteen
twelve. That was a poem that he

319
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.519
wrote that then those words were put
to this English drinking song of which some

320
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:03.480
kind, which song of ours is
basically God Save the Queen. Uh we

321
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:06.519
don't have God, no, no, but we have a song where the

322
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:10.799
music is the same. Oh yeah, that is my country to the Yeah

323
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.920
yeah, my country tis if he
is based on the English God Save the

324
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:19.440
Queen so tune. Yeah, So
why why wouldn't they the United States adopt

325
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:29.319
an American uh songwriter with a song
that says everything about America and it's easy

326
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:41.200
to sing where people can sing it
like that's Roseen bar Yeah I know that

327
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.160
was great too, with a grab
of the crotch at the end. That

328
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.319
was impressive. If they both sound
like somebody trying to skin a cat,

329
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.880
but when you sing it, it
sounds well anyway. So there's a move

330
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:59.960
afoot to have the Irving Berlin America, the Irving Berlin's America the beautiful.

331
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:06.000
You just like him because he does
show tunes, that's true. Just you

332
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:12.440
know, you're absolutely right. He
was the master of show tunes before Learner

333
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:17.000
and Low. I mean he was
early days he Irving and his brother.

334
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.960
All right. So here's a weird
little twist of fate. The investment giant

335
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:26.759
Blackrock has pulled an ad that had
Thomas Crooks in it. That's the guy

336
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:32.559
who took the shot at former President
Trump. In twenty twenty two, Blackrock

337
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:37.759
ran an ad featuring a teacher from
Bethel Park High School in which several unpaid

338
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.799
students briefly appeared in the background,
and that included Thomas Matthew Crooks. What

339
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.519
are the odds? What are the
odds? You know? What this reminds

340
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.839
me of is when they were doing
a documentary about the Beatles, gonna be

341
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.599
a docu drama or whatever, and
one of the lead roles, an actor

342
00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:00.720
by the name of Mark I think
David Chapman or Mark Chapman, got the

343
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:07.039
role, and then they realized that's
the name of the guy who killed John

344
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:12.920
Lennon. Oops, no thanks,
we're pulling this one. In much like

345
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:18.039
this, we have a video that
shows this guy. Oops, we're pulling

346
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:19.920
this one. Of course, they
didn't do on purpose. What else could

347
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:22.279
they do? You're right, what
are the odds? It's one of those

348
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:32.519
bizarre odds. You remember who was
it, Adrian van dud Komfa who was

349
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.359
ad Dition? Yeah, great guy, Yeah, great guy. And I

350
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.960
saw him in front of the Mona
Lisa at the loof when I was traveling,

351
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.680
just random, just randomly, and
I'm right behind him and I recognize

352
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.599
him, and I'm saying, hey, buddy, you're in the way.

353
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.000
And he turned to look at me, going what kind of an ass is

354
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:57.839
doing that to me? And you
wave it's me as He's like, oh

355
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:03.880
great, you just ruined the trip
knowing you're here. Speaking of Disney,

356
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:11.799
the Splash Mountain wildly popular ride at
Disneyland, and I was never a fan

357
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:18.920
personally, but Anyo Disney spent one
hundred and forty two million turning Splash Mountain

358
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:26.200
into Tiana's Bayou Adventure, both at
Disneyland and Walt Disney World in Florida.

359
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:33.680
The early stuff that I've seen of
the animatronics is insane, except that when

360
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:41.200
you look at social media, this
is what New York Times where it came

361
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.240
from, this story. This one
is KTLA okay, and that's KTL the

362
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.440
local version, but it comes out
of a national story. They looked at

363
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.359
social media eight hundred and eleven thousand
views, eleven thousand likes, forty five

364
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:57.039
thousand dislikes of that ride. So
I don't know, Well, you're going

365
00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:59.839
to go on it? Have you
been on it? You have a people

366
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.039
are not open yet it, yeah, but people are stupid. They just

367
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.039
don't like when there's change, because
they're going to see it. You're going

368
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.640
to have some people seeing that this
is about being woke one hundred and four.

369
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.920
It is, yeah, well yeah, because it was brayer rabbit.

370
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.359
The theme in Splash Mountain, which
you look at it in context, is

371
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:25.559
uh was okay at the time and
is completely racist now. For example,

372
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.000
minstrel shows in blackface, right,
well, it's turned the last century.

373
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.440
Uh, you know that was not
considered particularly racist. I mean it was

374
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.319
just part and parcel of what it
was. And of course today you look

375
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:40.279
at it back to the N word. You don't use the N word constantly.

376
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:45.559
Abraham Lincoln would tell jokes using the
N word as a as a constant.

377
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.720
It's it's you have to look at
it in historical context. By the

378
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:53.720
way, I'm not defending it.
I was about to ask, no,

379
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.279
no, no, I'm not defending
about to ask I'm not. But we

380
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:02.160
don't look at anything in his sortical
context at all. If it was if

381
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:07.200
it's racist now, and it wasn't
racist all those years ago. You know,

382
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.559
women not being allowed to vote,
We look at that today as gets

383
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.279
unbelievable. Well before nineteen twenty,
within the context people, and yeah,

384
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.759
other than the suffer jette movement.
Yeah that makes sense. You know,

385
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.680
women voting, What the hell is
that about? So anyway, I'm not

386
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:27.279
defending, but I'm saying they got
rid of it, and to your point,

387
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:33.480
maybe it is. It is getting
rid of something that now you cannot

388
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.200
have. So I just wanted to
point that out. Yeah, they were

389
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:40.079
moved rape from the rape and pillaging
of the Pirates song, that's true,

390
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:44.240
or the man of it, yeah, or the or you got the pirate

391
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:48.799
chasing that woman around and around and
read yeah, and yeah, that's right.

392
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:55.759
And so they changed it to the
woman chasing the guy, which is

393
00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:01.920
somehow better. Yeah. So I
don't know that there's anything better about this.

394
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.279
But Whoopi Goldberg said her mom was
a big fan of Disney Parks,

395
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.519
so after her mom died, Whoopy
took her ashes and spread them around Walt

396
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:15.680
Disney World. But you can't do
remember wait, we did it. It's

397
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:20.079
a small world at Disneyland. It's
not legal. No, no, no,

398
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.079
it's not legal. Yeah, you
know what, I did a podcast

399
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.000
on it. You know what would
be better, I'll come out soon.

400
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.759
They should just make a place for
it and say you can do it here

401
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:37.559
like a big hole. And they
said, this is the ash hole here,

402
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.200
and what they should do is put
the old animatronic figures that used to

403
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:47.079
be it's a small world down there
and sing about the ashes going down and

404
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:51.240
so the code. I did a
whole podcast on this thing, and it

405
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.519
is I don't know when it's coming
out because today is day two of my

406
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.720
podcast or day one of my podcast. This week. Every Tuesday and Thursday,

407
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.119
I drive a podcast at nine o'clock
right after the show, and you

408
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:07.000
can go to the iHeartRadio app.
It's still only on the iHeartRadio app.

409
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.640
We're moving it to the other platforms
and hopefully by next week. And I'm

410
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.480
talking about a din An emergency podcast. I'm talking about what happened, the

411
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.079
assassination attempt and the aftermath, and
I just I dive into it a little

412
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.599
bit deeper, and that's available on
the iHeartRadio app, Bill handle Pod Bill

413
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:30.799
Handles Show podcast. Okay, but
you did a podcast about this about the

414
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:32.440
cleanup, Yeah, I just know. Not. Yes, I did it

415
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:37.799
about not just the cleanup, about
burials across the board. And this is

416
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.680
one of the weirdest one people distributing
the ashes, and it happens all the

417
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:44.640
time. I bet yeah. And
if it's on a ride, they have

418
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:50.279
to shut it down because it's considered
an environmental it's considered an environmental issue.

419
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.359
How can you can mess with the
Yeah, it's a bo it's considered a

420
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:57.039
bio hazard. Here's what I'd like
to do. How is that a bio

421
00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:59.880
has I don't know. Ashes,
I don't know, but I'll tell you

422
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:06.480
it's fun is going into my fireplace
and getting a ziplock bag full of ashes

423
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:10.440
and spreading them around Disneyland so they
have to clean it up and just shut

424
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:15.360
down rides. That's fun. I
leave my disney Land alone. Everybody.

425
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:22.880
Don't do that. Bill, Come
on, that's entertainment. That's a ride.

426
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.159
I'm going to try and spread you
all over someplace and I can just

427
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.719
imagine you going, I'm not dead. Yes, all right, we are

428
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:35.480
done. By the way, guys, WHOOPI Goldberg admits it, which is

429
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:38.920
kind of weird. Okay, we
