You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM six forty Here interesting you
don't need a male to get involved where the female reproduces and how you don't.
Unfortunately, I'm always testing out whether it happens in mammals or not,
because I am trying to get pregnant many many times in my life, always
trying Can I get pregnant? Can I get pregnant? That is a horrible
masturbation joke. I might be Okay, Yes, good morning everyone, come
and now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle and
get good morning everybody. It is Wednesday, Hoday, Wednesday, July third,
and it ah, we have a day. We have a day ahead
of us, and I'm gonna do a couple things about going to the beach.
How if you go into the water, you're gonna get eaten, which
is great news. Also, doctor Jim is with us some move new information
about another vaccine, and so we'll talk about that. And fourth of July
fireworks story. I'm going to tell you what some cities are doing. But
first a quick hello to win an all. Heather Brooker, good morning,
Good morning, all right, Neil, good morning, Willie Wolf. There
you are, kno billoo and good morning, good morning bill Okay. Now
tomorrow is July fourth. I want to point out that Neil and I are
going to be at the Anaheim White House July fourteenth, because they're doing a
Basteel Day dinner that both Neil and I are going to be at. I'll
give you some more information because July fourth is our independence Their July fourth in
France is Bastiele Day, where they celebrate the storming of the bass Steel.
So not only it's called Basteel Day, it's also called Surrender Day. The
tour interchangeable as far as the names of the holidays. And so there's gonna
be a price fixed menu and I'm getting that together. I don't even know
what it is yet, and I have to. We'll share the menu,
etcetera. So you come on down. We'll make fun of the French.
White white tablecloths and white napkins will be everybody will be asked to, you
know, put the napkins over their heads, uh and scream I surrender,
I surrender in French. It's going to be a fun dinner. And of
course you know Bruno is you know the most phenomenal chef out there. I
mean I eat there as often as I can. It's just a schlep from
La It's in Anaheim, all right, Sonia. I will talk more about
that later on tablet. Yeah, do that. No, you can just
tell him that we're going to be doing that at the Biblioteca. Yeah,
you know, I share with you. France has a real habit of or
they used to. The waiters were so rude. I mean everybody in France
is rude. And so I had a French Canadian girlfriend the first time I
went to France, and we went and I actually had her teach me in
French, which I've now forgotten that whenever a waiter was rude, smile and
go. Your mother was a Nazi collaborator during World War II, wasn't she.
Now that one didn't go over very well, but too bad. Never
get into a fight with a waiter because you're going to lose, because the
waiter is going to be bringing you the food and rarely do you know what
happens. Lindsay was in the hospitality industry. She opened up restaurants when she
was younger, and she will never let leftovers be packed in the kitchen.
Hey, can I put that? Can I pack that for you? Absolutely
not. Please bring the box out here and I'll pack it myself. Well,
that's because they oftentimes toss it, go to toss it, and then
forget. Oh they wanted that, and then they put it back in the
box. No, it's because the people in the kitchen will sometimes do gross
things to your face. That's exactly. Yeah, but they'll do that.
They can do that no matter what. Y that's exactly they can. But
they don't do that once they give you the food, then you can start
being rude. You know. I tell how about not be rude. I
don't know how to do that. I don't know how to not be rude.
But you know, if I'm not getting good service, I'll snap my
fingers. I will take my napkin and twirl it over my head to get
their attention. Oh, you're definitely getting a finger in the pie if you
see. That is why we pack our own food for leftovers. That is
precisely why we do it. I mean, I've worked in I've worked in
restaurants before, and I watched people in restaurants like snack on the plates as
they were coming back and they I mean, they just do that. Yeah,
And I don't think everybody does that, but they're you to take a
chance. Who's gonna take a chance. So that's what I do at restaurants.
And I'm a big fan of leftovers, by the way. I mean,
I always take leftover food home. I do unless there's only a bite
left. Tell you what else I do when something as I'm leaving the restaurant
and I'm not completely full, I'll go past people's table and go, hey,
are you going to finish that? Now? That is embarrassing for people
I'm with. Are you gonna eat all of that? I've gone out with
you? That's true? You have Okay, guys, let's do it.
Handle on the news on this fourth of July. Era of fourth of July,
the night of fourth of July. All right, handle on the news
with Heather and' neil and me lead story. Oh yeah, Gavin Newsom is
on his way to Washington to stand by Biden. Is backing Biden. Now,
I have a question to ask you, in terms of Gavin and his
political aspirations. Do you think if he could get into bed with the Democratic
hierarchy, if they really were committed to tossing by Biden out. You think
he'd be backing up Biden. Well, no, right, that's correct,
slick opportunist, that is absolutely What about what about closing up to become his
u his success, not his success, Secretary Hair? What about vice president?
Uh no, no, no, Kamala is on the ticket. As
a matter of fact, I was listing last night. There were several congressmen
that we're saying Joe Biden should consider stepping down and Kamala Harris should step in
because she's the heir apparent. This is the way it would you say,
error apparent? I did. This is the way it works in politics.
Rarely do you have someone, especially running a former vice president or someone who's
connected that's the person that gets it. Unfortunately, that's the person who gets
it. There are people that are better than Kamala Harris by a long shot.
And Biden should consider he should consider stepping down because even if it's not
true, the perception that he is too old. And what happens is that
I think he's guaranteeing that Donald Trump wins this one. I think so too.
And here's the problem. I like the fact that I don't care if
Joe Biden doesn't know how to react or doesn't know how to do a debate.
That's not what a president does. A president doesn't sit behind that resolute
desk, and when some big issue comes before the president, he has to
think it through and be methodical and not just shoot from the hip, which
Donald Trump does. I'd rather have a bad debater and someone who is thoughtful.
You know, I agree with you, but you sound a lot like
people that are trying to justify voting for a guy that they know is past.
You know, I'm hearing a lot of this. People were very shocked
at the debate, and now there's a lot of kind of comfort talk to
make people feel comfortable. And the reality is, and I told you I
voted for him, but I'm looking at and I'm not voting for Trump,
but I'm looking at this going. You know, we keep justifying based on
the D or the R after their name instead of looking for the right people.
Yeah, I mean, we haven't done that. We haven't done that
in a very long time. So we have to stay by rules. Why
can't you boot you know, Kamala or oh you can't you know, why
can't you just do these things? You can, of course, but they're
not going to because you have the unwritten rules that automatically you can't pick the
same vice president. You know, in the last time, last time a
vice president was dropped from the ticket on a sitting president, it was Franklin
Roosevelt who named this, the senator from Missouri that no one had ever heard
of Harry Truman as his vice president. Garner Wallace, who were his vice
presidents? No, no, I'm going to pick a new one. That
was the last time it happened. You just the very situations need extraordinary Well,
the reality is is that And here's the question that was asked to take
a break, and this one made a lot of sense. Is the issue
of Joe Biden? Is he just that he just have a bad night?
Was this a one off? Or does this really indicate how he thinks and
he is out of it? That is the question. It's not his question.
Very good question because you can see how his people reacted, You could
see how Democrats reacted. You could see this this is not just a one
off. And therefore the question is is it because he is a bad debater
or is his mine truly going? He's too old and he's he's decaying,
just like Reagan did in office. We've seen it before. It just needs
to be taken care of. He's not going to last four years. You're
not going to do it. It's too here, it's too big of an
overhauled. He won't last the games. He won't last four years. Because
I believe it will be Trump, and I agree. I would never vote
for Trump. It's because only because not even his policies. I just think
he individe. I don't even think he's a Republican. I really don't know.
I don't think so either. All Right, continuing just a little bit
of the conversation we were having earlier. Most voters are thinking the Democrats will
the better chance of keeping the White House if Biden isn't the nominee. A
new cn End poll says his approval rating has also hit a new low following
his performance at the presidential debate last Thursday. Yeah, and there there's gonna
be a new movie coming out, you know, pushing Joe Biden. Breakfast
said Joe's. Oh boy, that's a breakfast at Bernie's reference. Okay,
no, you're not a Weekend. I thought it was breakfast at Tiffany's and
I was like, I don't get it. Oh, Wendays with Maury.
He's confusing a lot of things. I'm conflating a lot of stuff. No,
breakfast at Tiffany's is one thing you can get. Bernie's is the one.
But the guys, yeah, weekend at Joe's. All right. I
was good until I conflated it. And then the thing Heather, I speak
fluent handle, and I have for many years. I translated in my head
like with a U N headset. You'll get it. That's actually true.
By the way, I have to point that out. Oh. The guys
used to, you know, Rich Morada and stuff would tell go what does
this mean? And I go, I know exactly what that means. He
goes, uh, what was it? Chinese is the color of morning?
And I said, no, he means white. In China, white is
the color of morning instead of black, like it is here, and he
goes, I never ever figured that one out. I speak handle. All
right, let's move on. Neil Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass she's kicking off
her reelection bid. She's saying she is seeking the second four year term.
Why she wants to continue to deliver change that Angelino's deserve, and she that
we cannot afford to stop momentum, like on things she's worked hard on,
including public safety yep. And she is bragging about how the city the number
of homeless people in the city has has dropped ten percent compared with a prior
year because a lot of them were moved into hotels. A couple of people
at the Peninsula got a little pissed off on my ad that we're paying forty
two hundred dollars a night for a suite motels in interim housing. So I
guess that helps, but nothing any permanence. I will tell you, when
you're up against her predecessor, it's hard not to look better. I do
genuinely believe she's better, and I have seen some changes with the homeless since
she's been in office, But come on, the politics of all this that
is going down, it's not going down. Yeah, I don't care who's
here. I think LA at this point is virtually ungovernable. There are just
certain entities that are just on their face ungovernable. LA unified schools, they
still will run again, like who's going to be her competition? Nobody once
you're in, You're in. I mean they'll be public, they'll be Republic
for you, but she'll be in. I mean, the city is very
liberal. She is very liberal. Paul Caruso, having spent overall one hundred
million dollars of his money, couldn't bait her all right. A judge has
delayed trumps sentencing in the hush money case. Immediately after the Supreme Courts ruling
yesterday, they reached out, or on Monday, rather, they reached out
and asked for it to be moved. And it looks like it was.
It wasn't since for July eleventh, and now it has been moved to September.
He and if it's ever going to happen, he is Donald Trump is
tefline. He the luck he has across the boards. Supreme Court just backed
him up yesterday when they came down with their decision. Was it. I
read an article yesterday, one of my opinion pieces, that said, this
isn't even a conservative court anymore. It's a straight out Trump court. That's
it. You know my mom I was talking to her about that too,
and she said, well, it seems like the Supreme Court is helping him.
Oh yes, And they are anxiety, you know, and beyond I
mean beyond just helping not even his position, but effectively saying Donald Trump cannot
be held responsible, even to the point where when they're talking about official versus
non official acts, because the court did say non official acts are not covered.
But if you're arguing official or non official, you can't even bring in
motive. You cannot even bring in a president's motive, even if you can
prove his motivation was sheer retribution, you cannot. I don't understand. How
can you in in law to be able to bring in evidence and understand what
is official what is not official. You would have to bring motive in that
is correct. Okay, So I can intend crime and I don't do it.
I can't do it. You can't do it with your circumstances. The
court said you can't do it. You are so you're saying this is a
bad judgment. You see, it's not. It's a non legal judgment.
You you think the Supreme Court looked at this and came up with the wrong
conclusion. That's a given. Yes, I think the court came up with
a wrong conclusion because I can understand the court court coming up with you no
official you would think intent like an intent crime. Okay, Uh, You've
got certain crimes that are intent crimes, that is, you intend to commit
the crimes and others. It just happens. And can you imagine trying to
prove an intent crime. You cannot bring any circumstances that talks about it.
Then you have it, then you have an intent crime. Then that that
goes over to So you're saying that you don't think the president of the United
States should be immune. No, absolutely, absolutely certain circumstances. It's uh,
yeah, I think under very limited circumstances, which usually the court does.
It went the other way instead of really limiting is a broad The president
can't be touched for what he did in office, cannot be touched. That's
it. President can do anything he or she in this case he wants to
do. Can I ask just like a basic civics question here, because you
know, when we were in class, we were taught that the United States
is built on a system of checks and balances. Where is the checks and
balances? That's just a Supreme Court is a false support. Yeah, it
is a falsehood. Yeah, gives the president basically unbridled, unlimited power.
There has never been a decision in the history of the United States that has
given any president this kind of power. As Elena Kagan pointed out in her
dissent, you can't argue that the order of the commander in chief to a
seal team is official. He's ordering the military. How about ordering to kill
a rival if it's an official act, he does that as president, he
is he can do that and has the power to assess the rifles. What
that's a war crime? Well, I don't maybe not a rival country,
but a rival candidate with somebody who's coming after him in I mean, it's
a You can argue war crime all day long. The court doesn't care.
The court doesn't care. It seems I don't know, it seems hyperbolic.
I love how people are responding with if Trump's in office now. It was,
well, the problems that kills me. It's like everyone keeps talking like,
well, as president. I'm like, he's not president. No.
It happens to do with what he did as president. I asked being charged
after the presidency. That's what this is about. And he is claiming immunity
as what I did as president cannot be regarded as criminals. Meanwhile, the
Clintons are kicking themselves in the ass, going we could have gotten away with
this, that's true, and they actually well yeah, all right, Spring
Card has to reverse itself. It's never going to right, Okay. The
city council unanimously approved settlements with more than a dozen residents. This just yesterday.
Why well that was the anniversary of the June thirtieth, twenty twenty one
blast. If you remember what a mess that was. The settlement will now
go to Mayor Karen Bass for approval. It will be about twenty one million
dollars that will go out to the residents there strictly at the point, it's
not even personal injury, it's just property damage. Yeah, I remember that
explosion, but the bomb squad went in and didn't quite work. I mean,
just that whole neighborhood went up. And they're settling as they should,
all right, Fashion Island, This is a terrible story that happened in Fashion
Island yesterday in Newport Beach. Apparently, a husband and wife were leaving Barnes
and Noble and some robbers came up to them, tried to rob them,
and somehow the woman ended up in the parking lot and was run over by
one of the suspects, and eventually, after a chase of a pursuit,
the suspects were arrested and taken in custody in Southgate. Yeah, and this
is a very high end mallent Yeah. Oh yeah, it just you know,
it's disgusting. The whole story is discussing that she was dragged bray and
all that. But ultimately you can tell the difference still between LA and Orange
County because they caught them. They caught them, and Spitzer will make sure
that they do time. Oh justice. They don't want LA coming to Orange
County. Oh no, no, no, Todd he almost has. You
talk about Trump wanting to build a wall. Todd wants to build a wall
the Orange Curtain, the Orange Curtain, and he wants to make it a
real Orange Curtain. And believe me, anybody who lives in Orange County would
throw money into that one. With gun turrets. They're going to start using
like metal detectors. If you want to go from LA into it's going to
be like going to Jordan from Israel. Yeah, you're gonna have to change
buses, change planes. No, it's yeah, that is a zoo.
And we've done that. Okay, let's move on. We got to do
a couple more stories. Okay. The Department of Homeland Security just said yesterday
one hundred and sixteen Chinese nationals were deported back to China. This is a
big move. It came after the surge of Chinese migrants entering at our southern
border here in the US. It's raising. The numbers are rising. Rather
they are in the Chinese Mike, I think what a third of the border
crossings in this last year have been Chinese. Everybody thinks it's Mexicans. Now,
I got to tell you, you got Haitians. You have people from
all over the world, South, well, Northern Africa, Chinese ware one
is issues coming over the border, because well that's what you have when you
leave the door open there. And there is really no good system for checking
these people out, which is why in this case they played Chinese checkers.
Okay, all right, Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. And apparently
two hundred missing children were found in a US Marshall Service nationwide sweep. Apparently
one hundred and seventy of them were in dangered runaways and they were rescued as
part of an operation with the US Marshall Services, and then the operation was
in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They were covered
and removed one hundred and twenty three children from dangerous situations. The other seventy
seven missing children were located and found to be in safe locations. You know,
as good as this story sounds, and it is wonderful for those kids,
the other side of this is there are tens of thousands of kids out
there under these circumstances. That's the heartbreaker that in terms of the numbers that
are well, they're all vulnerable, but the ones that are abused, the
ones that are trafficked, I mean, it's pretty horrible stuff to say the
least, so at least, and the problem is with these it's massive undertaking
with many agencies, and the investigation goes on for a very long time.
In the meantime, these little girls, for the most part, are picked
up and used. The Federal Trade Commission unanimously voted to block mattress maker Temper
Sealy's purchase of Mattress Firm on Tuesday. So you've got the world's largest mattress
supplier and manufacture and the largest in the US betting retailer trying to do this
four billion dollar deal. The FTC is concerned about it because they want to
keep trade free. Very good. It's gonna make the world's biggest manufacturer slash
retailer. And the FTC said, not too powerful, No chance, So
we'll see what happens. No Mattress Mafia, King Mintain's over there, all
right, Well, yeah, just a quick one. You know, the
FTC doesn't just say no. The FTC has to go to court and stop
the sale. But you didn't know that. Okay, thanks for that.
No, you're welcome putting one in my mind pocket. Get your stamps everybody,
because the price of stamps are going up. Apparently they are going to
go from sixty eight cents to seventy three cents on July fourteenth, So go
and get your forever stamps. This is part of the USPS Tenure Delivering for
America plan to financially stabilize the postal service. Yeah. Maybe maybe it's going
to break even for the first time in thirty years as it loses money handover
fist. Here's the problem with the postal service. You know, how does
ups How do FedEx make so much money because the postal service has to deliver
to every address in the country. So if you're writing to some Eskimo up
in Borough, Alaska living in an igloo by the way, I don't know
if you might be even allowed to say that. Probably not. You shouldn't
be referring to people as eskimos, but they are. But they are Eskimos.
In any case, they have to deliver to that iglo. Okay,
well, now they're going to pay more to do it, that's correct.
Know then that igloo is still warmer than that cold dead heart in your chest.
But that's a thank you. A crowd crushed at a religious gathering in
northern India that killed more than one hundred and twenty people yesterday, mostly women,
in one of the deadliest such incidents in the country, in the country
that they have seen in recent years. But these these gatherings, man,
they are very little rules around them, very little safety nets or anything else,
and they're massive and the minute you know, heat or something like that
creates a stampede. Good night Irene. Yeah, these are about followers of
the Bullet Baba who come to him. It's a cult. It's a cult,
and so here they are. He's gone, by the way, he's
just because they're going after him for all kinds of reasons. I would not
go and die and drop into an open sewer and basically have heatstroke for the
boulet baba. No, no, what about a really good sale on bread?
Oh oh, where's I made him hungry? And I brought a bagel
today from just from the store. Oh that's not a bagel a bagel.
Listen, I'm not as rich as you are. I can't go to You
can't go to a bagel shop, and I can't. I literally, there
is no bagel shop where I live. I live in the Blendale. We
have we have no bagel. Yeah, no, I understand that. But
you know, don't ever say that a bagel from a bagel from a supermarket
is the bagel. You know what they call bagels from supermarkets, They call
them bread. That's what they are. You have to go to a real
jew bagel shop you want real jew bagels. I would love that if there
was one closer to my house and open it to. Michelle occasionally brings them,
by the way. Michelle, Yeah, she stalks by Western Bagels.
Fourth of July. You never see Bill more passionate than when he's talking about
Trump or bagels. That's correct. Maybe we need Bill on the Fork Report.
He has been, we talked, We have actually had huge discussions about
the quality of bagels and the chew of the bagels, and the rust and
the density. I no longer live in a neighborhood. You know, I
got another house and I don't have I'm not near a Western bagel. I'm
near Einstein's bagel, a real jew bagel, but very dense. And I
think just way big, too big, because it depends on where you grow
up, and I grew up on Western bagels. You want that chew because
I want the chews at the store or just like chew ish. Yeah,
very very well said. And it's bread, they're not you. You have
to well, you know what we should do that You and I on Folk
Reports should talk about what a bagel is and is not. Oh yeah,
because this is fascinating, not only that it's half of my life. Bagels.
We'll do that about that. Are there out of time? Not yet?
There is a I just want to tell you quickly. There is a
movement right now happening in La and the bagel scene. It is popping more
now than ever before. Courage Bagels, Mary's Bagels, like so many bagel
places are Courage Bagels. Storage Bagels is apparently the hot spot. The line
wraps around the block to get out. Schmoolies Bagels. Yeasty Boy Bagels.
That's a real place, by the way, is it really you? Boys?
Yeah? That's great? All right, let me know. Do you
want me to do this last story now? Unfortunately we're ending on the bagels
listen, You're stuck with me through the weekend. Bill, So I'm sorry,
No, I'm actually not. But that's okay, all right, We're
done. We are done, guys. This is kf I AM six forty
