00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:05.440
You're listening to kp I AM six
forty the Bill Handles show on demand on

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:17.600
the iHeartRadio app and now Handle on
the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's

3
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:41.560
Bill Handle and good good, good
morning everybody. A happy Friday, foodie

4
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.200
Friday here and what a pleasure.
Oh, thank you for dancing, Neil.

5
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.320
Okay, let me see who's there? Oh? Amy just jumped on.

6
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.079
Amy. Nice to see you,
nice to be seen. Well there

7
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.039
you are. Okay, we've started. That'll be the last time I'm friendly

8
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.880
to you this morning. But that's
okay. Hey, I got once during

9
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.719
It's a good day. Actually,
that is a good day, I know.

10
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:07.719
And I was just talking to Neil
too. I'll tell you about that

11
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:14.079
in a minute. Robin, good
morning, good morning. All right,

12
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.120
So Robin is here today, and
the lovely Ann comes back on Monday,

13
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:26.400
Michelle, oh no kono comes back
on Monday. Ann comes back and replaces

14
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.840
Michelle, who's replacing Ann for the
week. Good morning, good morning,

15
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:37.439
and that's it. And then Neil
again. Okay, Neil and I were

16
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.200
talking about a restaurant. I take
my daughter on foody adventures. Pamela is

17
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.879
a super foodie and I jump in
the freight and I'm going to take her

18
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.840
to Las Vegas for something called fork
Film and fork or fork in Film,

19
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:59.359
and these are pop ups where they
play films and the whatever the food related,

20
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.239
what theme in the film. Well, for example, if it's food

21
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:08.080
related or food centric the film,
they serve that food. For example,

22
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:13.879
Ratatoui is going to be shown,
and guess what they're gonna serve steak.

23
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.919
No, they're gonna serve ratatue and
other other foods that are in the film.

24
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.280
So that should be a lot of
fun, ridiculously expensive, so I

25
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.479
will you know, I wish my
daughter did something cheaper like collect rocks and

26
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.400
I go out and get a rock
and go here. Doesn't work that way.

27
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.759
It's very depressive. If your daughter's
collected rocks, they'd be diamonds.

28
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.479
Look right, collection, They're not
stupid, that's probably true. Oh.

29
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.360
Also, I have to share something
with you. I have these two little

30
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:50.879
dogs and squirrels in the backyard and
there's a little doggy door. I have

31
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:58.360
the glass doors, and so there's
they go back and forth with a little

32
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.000
swinging doggy door, and they always
go chasing after squirrels. I mean,

33
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.039
they go crazy. They can see
the squirrels and go screaming, chasing after

34
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:12.199
squirrel. And the other day I'm
sitting in my chair, my easy chair

35
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.479
that's not so easy, and reading
my book, and all of a sudden

36
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.439
I hear screaming, Gucci has a
squirrel. And you know how dogs pick

37
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:27.479
up their toys and shake them back
and forth the way they have a want

38
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.719
to do in the house, Gucci
was doing that with a live squirrel that

39
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.639
was squeaking like create. I thought
it was a toy. I thought it

40
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.759
was whatever, squeaky toys. That's
what those little dogs do. They that's

41
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:45.840
what they're bred to do, is
catch rats and squirrels. So I get

42
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.639
a scream. Lindsay starts screaming,
squirrel, squirrels, squirrel. I immediately

43
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.520
lift my legs up off the floor. I panic. It goes squirrels,

44
00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:00.199
squirrel, squirrel. In the meantime, the dog has that squirrel in its

45
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.000
mouth, shaking it back and forth, running around. Let's go of the

46
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.439
squirrel. Boom it goes into one
of the bathrooms, and so I sit

47
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.159
here. You get rid of the
squirrel, like, oh no, no,

48
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.800
you get rid of the squirrel.
No, no, you're the man

49
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.560
of the house. No I'm not. You're the man of the house,

50
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.360
get rid of the squirrel. So
thank goodness, there's a guy across the

51
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.519
street who happens to be a good
guy, and you had to call another

52
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.600
man into your home to take care
of something you should have taken care of.

53
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:36.920
It was a squirrel around the house. No, it was no.

54
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:44.399
No, what am I the squirrel
whisper? No, you go and call

55
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:50.240
a neighbor. That's right, I
think spider. I started looking. Actually,

56
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.920
I went on the internet and on
a Google search and put in squirrel

57
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.439
hunters and I couldn't find it.
Squirrel Wregler. This is the only squirrel

58
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.639
that didn't get your attention in life
every other No, no, he got

59
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.959
my attention. Oh no, he
got my attention. I hope you gave

60
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.319
him a tip for taking the getting
the squirrel out. Oh I'm sorry.

61
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.240
I already I was thinking about a
oil. And do they do squirrels?

62
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.519
I don't think so. In any
case, well they did with you.

63
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.199
So the point is that I didn't
do it. The guy across the street

64
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.759
did it. And I wish we
had videoed me in my chair. It

65
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.759
looked like I was doing exercises core
exercises when your legs go up, That's

66
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.319
what I was doing, sing squirrel, squirrel, I was very Were you

67
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.120
afraid that it was going to run
up your skirt? Or I was afraid

68
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.279
it was going to bite me?
Yeah, it was running around by that

69
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:53.439
point. The point here is handles
a woos Oh yeah, oh, one

70
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:59.839
hundred percent. Oh, no question
about it. So the squirrel was it

71
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:04.079
was not in good shape. So
the guy Acrosstreet came in and opened the

72
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.720
front door because when the door had
not been opened yet, and he put

73
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.480
the grab the squirrel, squirrel in
some kind of blanket or whatever that he

74
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.000
brought, and he let it out
the front door, and there it was

75
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.759
limping down the sidewalk. That squirrel
was not going to survive. So we

76
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:27.319
now have the squirrel assassin story of
twenty twenty four. That's going to be

77
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:33.639
in the annals of the handle Houselow
Hold the squirrel assassin story. All right,

78
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.759
guys, let's do it. It's
a Friday, which means we're gonna

79
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.439
have a good time. Well,
before I started, how has it going

80
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.399
to be? Amy? Of course, I was not listening to you in

81
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.120
the morning because I'm preparing the show. Well, it's going to be seventies

82
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.959
of the beaches, eighties, low
nineties for the metro areas, but we

83
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.920
will probably top one hundred in the
valleys, the Ie and the High Desert

84
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.920
could get one thirteen, which you're
not going to the High Desert today,

85
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.879
so you're safe. Yeah, no, I don't do that. All right,

86
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.600
guys, let's do it Handle on
It News on a Friday morning with

87
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:11.639
Amy Neil and me lead story,
set out the way stand out. Okay,

88
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.399
what else are we going to talk
about? Of course, we open

89
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.879
up with how the president did yesterday
at that press conference in Washington at the

90
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.160
NATO summit or the end of the
NATO Summit. I'm gonna do a lot

91
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.959
more of that at seven o'clock.
But here's the bottom line. President Biden

92
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.480
is the greatest single president we've ever
had in history. The world looks to

93
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.319
him as leadership and all. Yeah, how do I know that? All

94
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.360
you have to do is ask him
and he will tell you. Or he

95
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:47.360
did tell us a couple of gaffes. Somehow, President Zelensky became president putin.

96
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:56.000
Vice President Harris became Vice President Trump
Trump. Yeah. Solid. He

97
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.160
also called his chief of staff the
commander in chief. Yeah he did.

98
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.600
Now I have to tell you it's
I'm going to give him a pass on

99
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.240
that stuff. He does mix up
words and that has very little to do

100
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.560
with his ability to govern or not
governed. That was not it. That

101
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.959
was not him having cognitive issues.
It's just I don't think, no,

102
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.839
I don't. I think people mix
up words, and they do. If

103
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.399
you just do that. I mix
up my daughter things constantly. He's just

104
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.800
old. That's concerned. Yesterday,
yesterday he came off as forceful. He

105
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.320
did not come off at bomb like
he did during the debate where he lost

106
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.960
it completely. He simply called he
misspoke, okay, and then he corrected

107
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.480
himself right now. Yeah, so
yeah, on this one. The thing

108
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.679
is is that nobody has confidence with
him. It's not about those things.

109
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.759
It's about letting you know. I
think the questions that were asked, even

110
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.240
though that I didn't like the way
they were set up. You know,

111
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.120
it's like they called upon people that
were on a list. But ultimately,

112
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.159
I think when he was called out
for saying, hey, you're supposed to

113
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.879
be a bridge candidate right to bridge
to bridge, and he said, no,

114
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.240
I'm not. I don't have a
problem with his So he's sticking his

115
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.200
feet in the ground the same way
Trump did to me. I don't find

116
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.279
it any different, and so I
don't for him not to here's the problem

117
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.039
for him. For him not to
stick his feet in the ground means he

118
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:28.360
is going to give up that race. If he is staying in which he

119
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:35.480
is, then it is then it's
his call, and he's putting Trump in

120
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.519
the White House to put But the
point is, I mean, Neil,

121
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.879
you and I have been doing this
for thirty years, Michelle, you and

122
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.440
I have been doing this for thirty
years, give or take. I have

123
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:52.720
mumbled and bumbled, and how many
times have I just just positioned, just

124
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.039
opposed just I had all the problem
exactly many times. But English is your

125
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.919
second language, That's correct. But
let me ask you, is, Mike,

126
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.039
have my cognitive abilities changed at all
since you've known me. I'm the

127
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.879
same. I just mix up words, and I think that's ten. She

128
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.720
has a history of doing that,
and he stumbles because he is a study.

129
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.879
You touch nothing. No one gives
you the remote to the TV.

130
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.840
You have no power other than the
question. It's a question of who I

131
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:28.360
am. It's not a question of
cognitive disassociation. But he wasn't always this

132
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.799
way. It's yeah, he's been
that way for a very long He's always

133
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.720
done gaffs, but he hasn't lost
his train of thought like he did eleven

134
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.240
times last night. He just mixed
up words. He didn't know he was

135
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:46.559
halfway through a sentence, and then
you go out of anyway he would stop

136
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.159
a thought. Okay, what we
are going to do is talk more about

137
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.360
it. At seven o'clock. Amy
can get in and disagree with me all

138
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.240
she wants. You can say,
Bill, you're completely wrong, and Amy

139
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.320
will not be here Monday morning as
much as Bill Handles show with only Bill,

140
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:11.480
Bill Handle and the morning crew of
some squirrel that's limping around in Orange

141
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.279
County, we are coming back with
Vice President Trump. You're listening to Bill

142
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:24.720
Handle on demand from kf I am
six forty. It's becoming a parent that

143
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:30.720
Amy and I are diverging in various
political views. It's taken a while,

144
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.639
and so Amy, you know,
let's agree to agree, okay to whatever

145
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.039
I say. You got it,
Bill, Okay, thank you? Because

146
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:45.559
this is the Bill Handle Show.
Actually I kind of like it. And

147
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:50.519
Amy has to walk a very fine
line because she's a newsperson and I cannot

148
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.960
jump into arguments on a political level
or whatever. But you draw that you

149
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.200
you navigate that line pretty well.
Amy. I must admit, you know,

150
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:01.879
hold off. That's two nice things
in one day. So it's true.

151
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.559
I know, I mean, I'm
not blowing smoke. Care I'm reasonably

152
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.080
impressed with that, although the real
you is coming out. When are you

153
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.279
going to get the tattoo right,
the MS thirteen or swastika tattoo on your

154
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.120
neck? Probably never? Okay,
what an acute Oh, Neil, it's

155
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.240
a very bad accusation. Okay,
you ready to do it? Hold on

156
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.759
one second, hey, Robin,
I can't hear the station, my dear.

157
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.200
Oh okay, you go there.
You are all right. So Neil

158
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.080
missed all of that. Okay,
guys, you ready to do it?

159
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.480
Neil, he said nice things.
I said something sort of said nice things.

160
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.559
I ended it with a gun for
you. That was super nice.

161
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.799
Okay, let's do it more,
handle more handle on the news with Amy,

162
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:54.639
who's agreed to agree with me and
Neil and me. Barack and Nancy

163
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.960
are talking behind Joe's back. So
right after the press conference yesterday with President

164
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:05.120
Biden, at the NATO summit,
we got word that former President Obama and

165
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:11.600
former Speaker Pelosi had been speaking privately
about the future of the twenty twenty four

166
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:18.080
campaign, expressing concerns about how much
harder they think it's going to be for

167
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.840
Biden to beat former President Trump.
Yeah, and I don't understand Obama at

168
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:31.360
all. Why since knowing that Biden
is going to be the nominee, why

169
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.559
he doesn't jump in with both feet. I mean he has to. He

170
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.639
is the You want to be on
the right side of history, and if

171
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.679
you still have to do what you
have to do, what's the right side

172
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.679
of history? As of right now? I had to guess, is Trump

173
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.519
is going to win all The latest
poll just came out said that it really

174
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.080
hasn't changed much the pupil that came
out, But we don't I don't have

175
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.960
the battleground states yet. I haven't
seen those, and the national mean absolutely

176
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.840
nothing. It's to battleground states,
and so I haven't seen those because Trump

177
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.559
was pretty well ahead in those.
But the bottom line is, since Biden

178
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.799
is going to be the nominee,
how does the most forceful voice in the

179
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.679
Democratic Party not say, yes,
he's our guy? I don't know how

180
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.879
that's possible, because he's not stupid. Well no, no, he's everybody,

181
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.399
and even everybody knows that he would
have to do that well. And

182
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.840
Biden said something really smart last night
that he said, you know, somebody

183
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.720
else might be able to win,
but starting from zero right now is awfully

184
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.000
hard to do. And I thought
that was a really good point. Biden

185
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:45.279
actually came off if you don't count
those three or four gaffs. Biden came

186
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.120
off pretty strong. I mean his
strong his back is foreign relates, started

187
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.200
strong. He didn't hold it.
He was I disagree. He his bailey

188
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.320
Wick is foreign relations. He was
in the Senate for forty years ahead of

189
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.960
the Senate Foreign Relation Committee. I
mean he knows or did know everybody on

190
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.759
a first name basis. We're talking
about world leaders, and he's very,

191
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.559
very connected. So that's his strong
point. So yesterday did pretty well other

192
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.360
than you know, his gaffs,
and he did three or four gaffs.

193
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.159
And but that's Biden, So that
one I don't hold against him. I

194
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.720
just don't know the gaffs in any
other circumstance. I agree. But when

195
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.799
you've got Obama, who who picked
him as his VP and the people that

196
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.480
know him best going this is not
good. They know more than we do,

197
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.759
and that makes me nervous. But
Obama has been staying out of politics

198
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:41.440
anyway for the most part. He
just has' and you have former presidents do

199
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.639
exactly that. George W. Man, he walked out of that presidency.

200
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:50.360
I said, I am a private
citizen and a painter, and a pretty

201
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.120
decent painter. Okay. Uh.
The official list of speakers speaking of politics

202
00:15:54.120 --> 00:16:00.399
for next week's Republican National Convention.
It isn't solidified yet, but full of

203
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.720
politicians. And I'm going to put
this in quotes. Celebrities are confirming their

204
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.799
slady to take the stage at the
four day event there in Milwaukee. So

205
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:14.799
so far they include this one cracks
me Up, Florida governor and former Republican

206
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:22.480
candidate and complete nemesis to Trump,
right, not anymore about standing up?

207
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:30.559
Yeah? And then former reality TV
star and Kanye's ex Amber Rose. I

208
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:37.639
don't know her what it's obviously a
conservative, clearly, just not too long

209
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.320
ago. She didn't like Trump very
much at first. It's amazing how many

210
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.320
people didn't and now do. Now
everybody likes the winner and certainly in the

211
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:51.159
world of Republican politics. Uh,
that's a winner they're looking at. Let's

212
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.000
jump on. Uh, let's go
ahead and jump on some coattails. Not

213
00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:02.120
a whole lot of real a whole
lot of of real star power in the

214
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.920
Republican I'll tell you why. Well, there isn't that. Also, I

215
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:07.759
tell me if this is that,
I don't know this is if this is

216
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:12.920
true or not. Is Trump making
sure that there are no real big stars

217
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.119
because they want to He wants to
make sure that he is the big guy.

218
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.519
Rush Limba interesting, Rush Limbaugh.
When people would fill in for Rush

219
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.839
Limbaugh, he would get hacks,
just absolute hacks filling in for him.

220
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.079
That's pretty common. Yeah, it
is. Hosts don't want someone better.

221
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.000
But you know, the whole point
is they don't want someone good or better

222
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.519
to get the attention. They want
people to, oh, my good goodness,

223
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.559
we have our regular host back,
and Rush was sort of the king

224
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.680
of that. I think this goes
on here too, doesn't The attention has

225
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.119
to only go to one person and
that's it, and the rest of them

226
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.799
there. But then there aren't any
huge Republican stars. Ronda Santis actually is

227
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:03.079
a Republican star if you're looking at
star power, But then star power in

228
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.279
the Republican circles is you've got a
supernova and then you have a bunch of

229
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.960
dwindling stars. And that's what Republican
politics is right now. All right,

230
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.039
let's go ahead and take a break, and let's move through some of these

231
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.240
Some of these stories a little bit
quicker. And this is my fault,

232
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.440
so I take it back. Let's
check in with Amy, who has agreed

233
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.799
to agree with me at every moment
of this show. You're listening to Bill

234
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.799
Handle on demand from KFI AM six
forty. Both Trump and Biden are an

235
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:38.480
embarrassment. A new Pew Research survey
shows that former President Trump has a four

236
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:45.839
percentage point lead over President Biden in
the twenty twenty four presidential race. That's

237
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:52.519
the most recent there, released yesterday, But it also found that sixty three

238
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:57.880
percent of voters describe both Biden and
Trump as embarrassing. Yeah, Hi,

239
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.720
by that people have heard we have
the worst choice that we have had in

240
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.799
a very very very long time,
I think. So it's just horrible.

241
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:08.799
Either, it doesn't matter, you
can't it's a lose lose. By the

242
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:14.240
way, the poll that you just
said where Trumps they had nationally four or

243
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.200
five points. ABC News reported yesterday
that they're basically neck and neck. So

244
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.640
the polls are all over the place
and we really don't know. And the

245
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.519
only poll that matters, if you
really want to look at it, is

246
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.519
very close to the election, and
it's the battlegrounds. The rest of it

247
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:34.839
you can completely ignore. I heard
that the voting stations are going to give

248
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.599
out like little clothes pins. So
yeah, a good points. Yeah,

249
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:45.640
And that's basically true. All right
to the Peer to Nowhere, the Biden

250
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:52.720
administration will soon permanently shut down that
two hundred and thirty million dollars temporary peer

251
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:57.000
that the US military built to rush
humanitarian aid to Gaza. They're having issues.

252
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.400
There were some rough seat and the
like, and it forced operators to

253
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.799
remove the structure several days ago to
avoid damage. That it wasn't sticking to

254
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.839
the beach apparently, And so it's
going the way him go. Two hundred

255
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:17.559
and thirty million dollars for a pair
that was used three times and now is

256
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:21.079
being dismantled. And they didn't even
have chance to put that roller coaster on

257
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:26.400
it. Okay, now that could
have that could have bought two feet of

258
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:33.039
track for what a waste. Yeah, so you kind of wonder if these

259
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.359
people should be parents. This hate
this story. The Sheriff's office in Mohave

260
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.599
County, Arizona, is investigating the
death of a baby girl. Her parents

261
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:47.799
took her boating on Lake Havasu when
it was one hundred and twenty degrees outside

262
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.160
on July fifth. The four month
old became unconscious great shortly after five pm,

263
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.240
and then was transferred to a hospital
for heat related illness, and then

264
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.480
died when she was taken to Phoenix
Children Hospital. Yea, and by the

265
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.759
way, you kind of wonder whether
they should be parents or not. I

266
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.240
think you're being way too generous.
Amy. Here's the issue on this one.

267
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.559
This is not leaving someone in a
car, a baby in a car.

268
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:17.960
They probably didn't know that this kind
of heat for a baby. I'd

269
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.240
like to know the baby was a
covered, Was there lots of water?

270
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.119
Was the kid was a little one
hydrated before you go out? Yeah,

271
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.119
no, it's true. Not arguing
that. I'm not sorry, but it's

272
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:30.519
not like leaving a kid in a
hot car, you know, in a

273
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.119
sealed car. I'm just wondering,
you know, where they were sitting at

274
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.720
because I can see trying to do
everything, but the heat is so great

275
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:44.799
that a little infant can't take it. And my wife and my boy who's

276
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.559
seven, as you know, are
in Arizona visiting family. It was one

277
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.680
hundred and eighteen yesterday. My son
Max walked out of the air conditioning house,

278
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:59.119
made it halfway to the car and
said noop and walked back for him.

279
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.400
What said he just? He said, not going to happen. I'm

280
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.079
not getting in that car. I'm
not going anywhere. Yeah, how about

281
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.400
just grabbing the handle of your car
and getting third degree burns as you try

282
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:18.319
to open up the door. It's
redicted, all right. What's being called

283
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.960
a by prosecutors, the largest single
case of shoplifting in the history of Long

284
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.359
Beach. You might have heard Amy
talking about this during the news and during

285
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:33.119
wake up call. This woman was
arrested yesterday under the suspicion of shoplifting thirty

286
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.640
times from the same store A TJ. Max Okay. And this was only

287
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:45.079
between September of twenty twenty three and
June of twenty twenty four, thirty times

288
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:51.519
every single time. Each individual case
was less than nine hundred and fifty because

289
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:56.119
so that means that means it's a
misdemeanor. Yep, And that means it's

290
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.160
La County. And they don't them, they don't nag you. Where George

291
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.880
Gascon doesn't tag you for multiple misdemeanors. You can have five hundred of them

292
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.680
and you're still not going to do
any prison time or jail times. So

293
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.880
thousand dollars she can't matter. She
can go on and keep on going.

294
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:18.559
This on another one hundred and twenty
times thirty misdemeanor theft charges you're talking about,

295
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:21.799
you know, shoes jeens. You
won't see that story in Orange County,

296
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.720
by the way, where someone is
tagged thirty times or suspected of thirty

297
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.680
counts and only as a misdemeanor.
They can't wrap those. That's what they're

298
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:30.599
trying to change. I don't think
they. I mean, I think you

299
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:37.720
can, but I think the DA
won't. I may be wrong on that,

300
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:41.240
by the way. Well they're looking
to change Prop forty seven, Yeah,

301
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.680
and it could be under Prop forty
seven you can't do it. And

302
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.880
I don't know the answer. And
maybe George Gascone's wrists are tied on this

303
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.799
one. But what doesn't this prove
the problem when they she's stealing under nine

304
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.799
hundred Yeah, no it does.
But that's the entire point. Under nine

305
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:02.039
fifty is a misdemeanor and it's not
considered a very serious crime. At nine

306
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.119
point fifty one, it's a felony
and considered a very serious crime. There

307
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.640
has to be some line there.
Did she sit there and bring her a

308
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.200
little calculator with it? Okay?
Nut? Now? Is that including tax

309
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:18.240
or not? Is that before or
after tax technicalities? A sneaker smash and

310
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.720
grab. A bunch of bad guys
busted into a sneaker shop in South LA.

311
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:30.440
A surveillance video shows a Kia Sedan
crashing into the front window of the

312
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.200
store, which let the bad guys
in. They made off with about twenty

313
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:38.880
five thousand dollars worth of high end
sneakers and shirts. Love those smashing grabs,

314
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.640
right, and the only reason we
see every one of them, there's

315
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.240
a surveillance on all of them.
So it's kind of video wise, very

316
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:52.000
entertaining. But instead of selling the
car, they use it to smash through.

317
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.680
It's like, well, then just
steal the car and sell the car.

318
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.759
There's that too, Yeah, I
should talk them. It's not tax

319
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:03.200
evasion when you steal and don't pay
tax. You know, I don't think

320
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.440
they tag you for tax evasion.
And it may it may very well be

321
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:14.039
certainly major thefts. They can be
charged with tax evation. But here's what

322
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:19.480
usually happens when people are caught.
It's they're charged with crimes, and tax

323
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:23.559
evasion is difficult to prove. They
don't deal with that. They don't charge

324
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:27.880
criminals with tax evation unless the big, big mafia ones. You know,

325
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.119
when you're talking about that's one of
the only things you can tag them with.

326
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.039
That's how you hit them. And
yeah, they could, but it's

327
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:40.079
you don't need to because the crime
itself is going to give you more time

328
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:45.920
than the tax evation part. Throw
the book at him, well that's the

329
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.440
point. I don't know what book
it is, but maybe heavy. That's

330
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:53.920
a good point. Okay, we
are finished with this segment. We're going

331
00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:00.200
to come back and finish Handle on
the news on this Friday morning. They're

332
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.519
listening to Bill Handle on demand from
KFI. A six forty some wing nut

333
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.240
is running around in Ventura. You
got this serial projectile sniper. He's been

334
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:15.759
targeting pedestrians and folks along a stretch
of road in Ventura for what maybe as

335
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:21.039
long as a year, they think, leaving many victims with painful injuries.

336
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:27.680
And it looks or sounds like whoever
it is is shooting kind of marble like

337
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.680
things. They're not paintballs, but
they're kind of that size and shooting them

338
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:40.119
at people walking around for a year. Yeah, and people were complaining about

339
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.000
it, and they even complain about
it when they get hickeys and go look

340
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:47.599
at that. Okay, Well,
they did say that a white pickup truck

341
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:52.480
seems to be seen by many people
that were victims taking off after they were

342
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.200
struck. I hope they grabbed this
wing nut because someone's going to get hurt.

343
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:04.079
Yeah. I think we're crowded now
just wait. According to World Populations

344
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:10.279
Prospects Report, global population is expected
to grow from where we are now,

345
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:15.640
which is eight point two billion,
and we'll peak at ten point three billion,

346
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.599
but that comes in the twenty eighties, so we'll all be gone by

347
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:25.519
then. The number then is expected
to gradually decline to about ten point two

348
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:29.480
billion by twenty one hundred. Yeah. Even worse, if you look at

349
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:34.960
the stats, is that the birth
rate and in the industrialized nations is going

350
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:41.839
south, and so the kids that
are being born are in third world countries,

351
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:48.599
which is going to lead even more
starvation and more issues with climate change.

352
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.440
Because we have air conditioning, they
don't in Sudan, so when it's

353
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.440
one hundred and twenty degrees out there, people die like crazy. So none

354
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:59.480
of this is good news. And
you're right, we're going to be gone

355
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.559
by then, and goodness, let
the kids and grandkids deal with it,

356
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.519
all right. I don't know what
to make of this, but if you're

357
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:14.160
looking for early retirement and you don't
have the money to do it, Taco

358
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:19.400
Bell for some reason has created the
canteenas where everyone can live like a retiree.

359
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:27.400
It's this luxurious experience, apparently senior
inspired recreation and cross generational activities.

360
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:33.680
You must be twenty one and older
to participate. Weekend membership costs one hundred

361
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:41.240
and fifty includes overnight accommodations for the
ticket and a guest, and dining recreation.

362
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.759
All these things a day passes fifty
bucks a day. It is open

363
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.759
ten am to eight pm Saturdays and
eight am to eight pm on Sundays,

364
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:53.200
so it's not a place where you
live it's basically just a it's a resort.

365
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.920
It's run by Taco Bell. It's
a Taco Bell resort. Yeah,

366
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:02.480
and you can get the link of
available at their rewards member or the Aircabella

367
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.079
on we want to go. Yeah, I go, I go. I

368
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:15.599
tried out. Sure, nothing to
see here. The US Coast Guard says

369
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:23.079
several military ships Chinese military ships have
been spotted in the waters off Alaska.

370
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:27.480
They were about one hundred and twenty
four miles offshore in the Aleutian Islands area.

371
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.960
All four were in international waters,
but they were also in what's called

372
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:38.400
the US Exclusive Economic Zone that extends
two hundred not miles from the US shoreline.

373
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.359
Yeah, I know, a lot
of countries have that, the two

374
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.480
hundred mile economic zone, fishing rights, that sort of thing off of their

375
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.279
banks. No big deal here,
You're right, there's not a lot to

376
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:51.000
see. It's just the Chinese or
the Russians do the same thing. We

377
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.119
do the same thing. You know, we go near coastlines, et cetera.

378
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:59.640
So it's not that big a deal. Here's an interesting one talking about

379
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:06.279
sea. Yeah, you imported to
me a great ending on this one Chinese

380
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:11.640
woman who was swept out to sea
while swimming at a Japanese beach. Weather

381
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:18.440
was rescued thirty seven hours later after
drifting in an inflatable swim ring more than

382
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.440
fifty miles in the Pacific. When
you're fifty miles, you're swept out to

383
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.039
fee to see and there you are
in a ring and you're fifty miles basically

384
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:32.200
from shore thirty seven hours. Don't
you think about thirty five thirty six hours,

385
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:37.000
it's all over. Let you go. Yeah, okay, I'm done.

386
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:40.960
You're an appetizer floating. Yeah.
No, good for her. I

387
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:47.200
mean that is a miracle. That
is a passing trader, passing trading ship,

388
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:52.079
where a merchant ship saw her bobbing
around and there were waves going on

389
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.599
too. She was, of course, I being down. I would kiss

390
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:57.720
kiss the sand when I got back, and I'd never go in the ocean

391
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:03.200
again. Okay, we're done,
guys. A lot going on today coming

392
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.839
up. We talked about this yesterday, and I don't know if you saw

393
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.759
the Biden's big boy speech yesterday,
the press conference he had at the end

394
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.680
of the NATO summit. We'll talk
about that. What happened, and it's

395
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:22.240
both good news for Biden and bad
news for Biden. It was a double

396
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.240
hit, not a whole lot better
than he was before that. Now we'll

397
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.640
explain that one. And then new
show here on KFI called Studio six point

398
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.759
forty. Steve Gregory is going to
join us and talk about that, a

399
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:38.440
show that he's hosting. And then
Foody Friday at eight o'clock with neil Ah.

400
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:42.440
Great great stun on Friday, Great
fun on Friday. You see there,

401
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:48.480
I am great stun on Friday.
Therefore I misspoke and you're not the

402
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:53.680
president. Okay, we will be
back with Vice President Amy in just a

403
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:57.559
few moments. You've been listening to
