Speaker 6: Good morning Bill.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: By the way, at my wedding, uh, at one point
Speaker 1: in my wedding we were having it was during just
Speaker 1: as we were starting dinner, I walked in dressed as
Speaker 1: the Pope papal garb and that was just to offend
Speaker 1: any Catholics in the crowd, for no other reason.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna be talking today.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're gonna try to get Todd Spitzer on because
Speaker 1: there is there was a national story about the Orange
Speaker 1: County judge Jeffrey Ferguson who killed his wife, shot his
Speaker 1: wife and claimed it was an accident.
Speaker 5: So he was convicted and he's going to do forty
Speaker 5: years to life.
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk to Todd and Todd's comments,
Speaker 1: et cetera became a story all over the country.
Speaker 2: And then the economy a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, President Trump announced a major, major win as he
Speaker 1: completely caved to China. Just right back on his terraffs.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what's going on. I'm going to talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about this, because I was having conversations with
Speaker 1: my partner Sable in our import cookware business and literally
Speaker 1: talking about going out of business. Forty years in business,
Speaker 1: going out of business, and it's hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: companies throughout the country or looking at that if the
Speaker 1: terraffores continue. And then it came back, well, a couple
Speaker 1: of things we've stopped or save has stopped all shipments
Speaker 1: coming in from China.
Speaker 2: We hit all of our products from China, stopped it cold.
Speaker 1: Anything that has not hit a ship yet is now
Speaker 1: at the warehouse. China has stopped all exports to the
Speaker 1: United States. The warehouses and the docks are in a
Speaker 1: turmoil that no one has ever seen before in China
Speaker 1: at the ports. The IMF yesterday International Monetary Fund said
Speaker 1: international global economy is going to drastically be reduced because
Speaker 1: one guy wakes up and says, here's what I'm gonna do,
Speaker 1: and then the afternoon changes his mind, the next morning
Speaker 1: changes his mind, the next afternoon does something else, wakes
Speaker 1: up and goes oops, okay, maybe not maybe I.
Speaker 5: Should do this.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 5: It's me.
Speaker 7: It reminds me of what happened to small businesses during
Speaker 7: COVID that are all closed now because you had government
Speaker 7: saying no, you got to shut down, No you can
Speaker 7: eat outside, No you can't eat outside.
Speaker 3: Now you got to be right, you're right.
Speaker 7: Look, I mean, this is what happens when you have
Speaker 7: politics of any kind. You put one person in charge,
Speaker 7: and ultimately they could shut down California, which happened here,
Speaker 7: and then across the world you had people following suit.
Speaker 7: And now there are businesses that mom and pop. So
Speaker 7: now big corporations are feeling what small businesses felt during COVID.
Speaker 5: Except the big.
Speaker 1: Consumer, the big electronics companies, where Trump, in one of
Speaker 1: his fabulous moves back and forth, back and forth, exempted computers,
Speaker 1: device makers, television importers. Those became a zero tariff almost immediately.
Speaker 1: But everybody else got nailed. And it's just it's very,
Speaker 1: very rough, it is, and we're hearing constantly, this is
Speaker 1: good for you, this is good for you in the
Speaker 1: long run.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, will be out of business, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's great for us, you know, as thousands,
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of other small businesses will be out
Speaker 1: of business. And we're being told as good for you.
Speaker 1: You know, the fact that you're not to be able
Speaker 1: to make your mortgage is good for you. It's the
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company saying lowering rates is bad for you. Increasing
Speaker 1: prices on big pharm of big pharmaceuticals is good for you.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: It's a weird world we live in. Okay, enough of depression.
Speaker 1: Let's now spend the next three hours getting really depressed.
Speaker 5: Jim Keeney is joining us.
Speaker 1: We had dinner last night, Jim the crowd, and Jim
Speaker 1: was saying that. The CEO came into his office and said, Jim,
Speaker 1: what is this that all you talk about is ten
Speaker 1: fun ways to kill people?
Speaker 5: And he said, I didn't say that.
Speaker 2: Handle said that, Oh, why.
Speaker 3: Do you do that to him? He's supposed to be
Speaker 3: your friend.
Speaker 5: He is.
Speaker 3: Then, that's why.
Speaker 7: That's why the guys, you know, some people actually work
Speaker 7: for a living. He studied, he got a job, and
Speaker 7: you can take it.
Speaker 1: Okay, why don't we move on? Fair enough, let's do it, guys,
Speaker 1: Time for Handle on the News on this Wednesday morning.
Speaker 1: I've bitched and complained enough this morning. Let's move into
Speaker 1: another hour of bitching and complaining. Handle on the News
Speaker 1: with Amy Neil and me lead story. The story I
Speaker 1: talked about that we're trying to get Todd on Orange
Speaker 1: County Superior Court and a judge, former prosecutor shot and
Speaker 1: killed his wife during an argument and their Anaheim Hills home.
Speaker 1: Convicted of murdery yesterday. This was a second trial too.
Speaker 1: First trial deadlocked. It was a hung jury. There was
Speaker 1: one holdout, so they came back, tried it again and
Speaker 1: got the conviction. I want to talk to Todd this
Speaker 1: morning if I can. How often does this happen when
Speaker 1: you have a lone holdout that just will allow him
Speaker 1: this trial to happen? And then Todd came up with
Speaker 1: or Todd was asked to comment and he did.
Speaker 2: And that became a national story just his comments.
Speaker 1: And will go ahead and talk to Todd this morning
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 7: Actually disappointed by his comments personally, but you know, you
Speaker 7: got to love the fact that this this judge, while
Speaker 7: sitting in the Anaheim police station, is muttering to himself,
Speaker 7: I killed her, ladies, and gentlemen of the jury convicted
Speaker 7: my ass.
Speaker 3: I did it kind of hard to come back from that,
Speaker 3: not really.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because he can still say it
Speaker 1: was an accident and say I did it, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it didn't help him.
Speaker 3: But he's a judge. He's saying, convict my ass.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's a little problematic. Yeah that's that's true.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean he did it. That just means
Speaker 1: he's telling he's maybe he feels so guilty that.
Speaker 5: He wants to be punished.
Speaker 1: Who the hell knows I would take it that way,
Speaker 1: But anyway, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gone.
Speaker 8: Trump is not going to be saying you're fired anytime soon.
Speaker 6: To the Fed's Jerome Powell.
Speaker 8: President Trump backed off his threats to get rid of
Speaker 8: the Federal Reserve chair. There had been a lot of criticism,
Speaker 8: including a post on truth Social where he called him
Speaker 8: a too late loser and said he should have he
Speaker 8: needs to reduce interest rates. But in the Oval Office
Speaker 8: yesterday said I have no intention of firing him. But
Speaker 8: he did then say, but I'd sure be happy if
Speaker 8: he'd lower those interest rates.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he went from doing everything I can to fire him,
Speaker 1: which by the way, he can't legally accept for cause,
Speaker 1: and maybe they come up with cause market tanks thousand points,
Speaker 1: it costs the market. Someone goes, oh, mister president and
Speaker 1: maybe decided on himself. Talking about firing the FEDS has
Speaker 1: world wide implications. Oh okay, next day, I have no
Speaker 1: intention of fire him, as if he ever said he
Speaker 1: was going to fire him. I'm telling you day to day. Wow,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't stop market. The futures are up again,
Speaker 1: aren't they.
Speaker 5: Amy.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it's up like the dow Is futures up
Speaker 8: seven hundred and seventy five points almost eight hundred.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, yesterday was a one thousand point gains.
Speaker 1: So it's coming back with a vengeance and a lot
Speaker 1: has to do, I think with the President just saying nothing,
Speaker 1: just leaving it alone.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, Health Secretary Robert F.
Speaker 7: Kennedy Junior is seeing red and boy does he not
Speaker 7: like it. So just yesterday he said that the Department
Speaker 7: of Health and Human Services and the Food at Drug
Speaker 7: Administration will phase out all petroleum based excuse me, artificial
Speaker 7: food dies from the nation's food supply. Okay, and this,
Speaker 7: the big one is always red dye number three.
Speaker 1: All right, well seven twenty Neil's gonna really jump into
Speaker 1: this one because ye am, I yeah, you are explaining what.
Speaker 2: All this is about.
Speaker 1: Yes, sure, And it's the soon to be extinct FDA
Speaker 1: is making some moves. So Neil, you'll explain how this
Speaker 1: de business works. Sure red dye.
Speaker 2: Number one through four hundred and why red dye three.
Speaker 1: Hundred and eighty seven is particularly dangerous.
Speaker 8: US needs babies. The US fertility rate is hovering your
Speaker 8: record low. Women in the US less likely to have
Speaker 8: babies than ever before. Fifty four point six berths for
Speaker 8: every one thousand women of reproduction age. That is up
Speaker 8: just a little bit less than one percent from the
Speaker 8: record low set in twenty twenty three. And the new
Speaker 8: study also shows that berths continue to shift to older
Speaker 8: moms and teen berths and births among women in their
Speaker 8: early twenties declined to record lows last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of it has to do with, frankly,
Speaker 1: the amount of sexual conduct has gone way way down.
Speaker 1: Too many Jewish men marrying too many Jewish women, and
Speaker 1: so you're not seeing much sex.
Speaker 6: Thank you for that brilliant an ounce.
Speaker 2: Well there you go, all right.
Speaker 7: Despite decades of progress in reducing air pollution.
Speaker 3: Los Angeles still the nation's smoggiest city.
Speaker 6: That's hard to believe.
Speaker 7: I know it really is, because when you look back
Speaker 7: in the seventies when.
Speaker 6: You couldn't see the mountains.
Speaker 3: No, oh, we could cut it with a knife.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when you look.
Speaker 1: I remember as a kid, I couldn't go outside. It
Speaker 1: looked like a London fog and it was smog and
Speaker 1: it actually hurt to breathe and we couldn't go out
Speaker 1: for recess outside.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, you grew up in Newbury Park and the
Speaker 7: skies were beautiful and then you'd start getting into the
Speaker 7: valley and it was just like this blanket of brian Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it was horrible.
Speaker 1: But we're still the smoggiest city, which you're right, says
Speaker 1: a lot about how far we have gone, how much
Speaker 1: we've accomplished.
Speaker 3: Oh no, we have dropped.
Speaker 7: Since two thousand, we've dropped our unhealthy ozone days by
Speaker 7: nearly forty percent.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that's massive.
Speaker 7: Los Angeles, Visalia, Bakersfield, Fresno, San Diego still among the
Speaker 7: list of the cities of most polluted by ozone.
Speaker 5: Or work.
Speaker 6: Time to clean House.
Speaker 8: Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he's streamlining what he
Speaker 8: calls a bloated bureaucracy. Plans to cut about seven hundred
Speaker 8: positions and one hundred and thirty two offices at the
Speaker 8: State Department. He's specifically taking aim at the Bureau of Democracy,
Speaker 8: Human Rights, and Labor. He writes that it's become a
Speaker 8: platform for left wing activists to wage vendettas against anti
Speaker 8: woke leaders in nations like Poland, Hungary and Brazil, and
Speaker 8: also to transform their hatred of Israel into concrete policies
Speaker 8: like arms embargoes.
Speaker 2: It's kind of interesting how they do this.
Speaker 1: Anti woke leaders are some of the most autocratic.
Speaker 2: Leaders who are insane.
Speaker 1: You know, for example, Duarte in the Philippines, a Trump favorite,
Speaker 1: who talked about and did anybody even accused of being
Speaker 1: involved in drugs? Users of drugs, not dealers, were either
Speaker 1: incarcerated put away literally without trials, and the call was
Speaker 1: to kill them without a trial. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: there are some leaders that are kind of nuts. Bolsonnaro
Speaker 1: in Brazil went that way, Hungary has gone that way.
Speaker 1: So I guess anti woke is it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: I do process. I guess as woke. Well, we're in
Speaker 1: the middle of that story. As we go ahead, you know,
Speaker 1: we're in.
Speaker 5: Some rough times.
Speaker 2: Oh, here's a story about some rough times.
Speaker 7: La Zoo putting an indefinite pause on its elephant program.
Speaker 7: It's relocating its two remaining herd members, Billy and Tina.
Speaker 7: They're going to Oklahoma, Oh, Oklahoma, never mind where they
Speaker 7: will live in a newly expanded elephant habitat there at
Speaker 7: the Tulsa Zoo. La Zoo, however, has long defended the
Speaker 7: quality of care provided to the elephants, even though you've
Speaker 7: had celebrities like Chaer Lily Tomlin, the late Bob Barker
Speaker 7: previously advocating for Billy, who's been there since nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 7: to be removed. But I bet the elephants won't ever
Speaker 7: forget this place.
Speaker 2: Very well, said two of them died. There were four.
Speaker 2: Two died a couple of years Well, when do they die?
Speaker 5: Was it a couple of years ago?
Speaker 1: In any case, So there are two left, and they're
Speaker 1: going to a habitat not only more elephants, but also
Speaker 1: much much larger habitat.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they said they're going to put them with a
Speaker 8: bigger herd, and that that's good for their socialization because.
Speaker 1: They're incredible animals. Elephants there are astounding animals.
Speaker 7: They also just be selling umbrella stands anymore at the zoo. Ooh,
Speaker 7: did you even get that one?
Speaker 2: I did? Never mind, I did. Oh that's a tough one.
Speaker 3: That really is. Oh, I'm getting a tough one from you.
Speaker 2: That is a tough one.
Speaker 1: That is you can explain it, Neil, and you can
Speaker 1: be hated by everyone.
Speaker 2: It's your turn.
Speaker 3: Lee, Do not judge me. Amy could judge me. Will
Speaker 3: can judge me. And and Kono you cannot.
Speaker 6: What are you explain with Dumbo?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it has to do with it has
Speaker 1: to do with elephant legs, and it's just it's horrific. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm horrific completely. All Right, one more and then we're
Speaker 1: going to take a break.
Speaker 8: Time's up for this producer. Bill Owens has been the
Speaker 8: producer of sixty Minutes, but he resigned yesterday. He had
Speaker 8: been fighting efforts at CBS parents Paramount Global to settle
Speaker 8: the twenty billion dollar lawsuit filed by President Trump over
Speaker 8: the interview on sixty Minutes with then Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 8: Trump ledges the program was deceptively edited to favor Harris.
Speaker 8: His departure could be assigned that a settlement is getting close.
Speaker 2: You know, I have a.
Speaker 1: Question about that, assuming it was true, by the way,
Speaker 1: and I'm totally convinced of the mainstream media is anti Trump,
Speaker 1: anti Republican by that.
Speaker 3: I'll buy that.
Speaker 2: So you have a twenty billion dollar lawsuit.
Speaker 6: Because he said that they were trying to affect the election.
Speaker 1: Fine, so let's say they were trying to affect the election.
Speaker 1: Where are the damages he won the election? Where are
Speaker 1: the damages.
Speaker 2: You winning? For example, you win a trial and you're suing.
Speaker 1: Because the prosecution acted him inappropriately, but you won.
Speaker 2: Where are the damage is?
Speaker 1: It's everything is completely turned around, completely turned around. And
Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, they do edit sixty minutes and
Speaker 1: it's like crazy, all those shows do. I remember when
Speaker 1: I was on sixty Minutes nineteen eighty three. It was
Speaker 1: one of the worst episodes they've ever done. I was
Speaker 1: they were I was being interviewed for three hours and
Speaker 1: they used.
Speaker 2: Two and a half three minutes of me talking.
Speaker 5: You can edit.
Speaker 7: When you see a movie that's been edited, they have
Speaker 7: to note that it has been edited for television. They
Speaker 7: have to note these things because you are editing content.
Speaker 7: If you're if you're whittling something down for time is
Speaker 7: one thing.
Speaker 3: If you're editing, how the answers. That is different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but where's the line, Neil War's the line? You
Speaker 1: give a long answer, they edit it down. Who decides
Speaker 1: that's the point. But it doesn't matter even assuming it's true.
Speaker 1: He won the election and he still wants twenty billion
Speaker 1: dollars from CBS and they're gonna settle.
Speaker 2: CBS is going to cave.
Speaker 6: For five dollars.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's gonna be a pyrrhic win. And I think
Speaker 1: if he gets an apology from CBS, that may be enough.
Speaker 1: Or money goes into the Donald Trump or the Trump
Speaker 1: Family Foundation, or goes to what a lot of money
Speaker 1: is going to now is the Trump Presidential Library. You
Speaker 1: know presidential libraries. They're not government funded. It's all of
Speaker 1: them are privately funded. They have to raise money literally,
Speaker 1: that's why former presidents go door to door with the
Speaker 1: Girl Scouts and say, in addition to Girl Scout cookies,
Speaker 1: do you want to buy which would you like to
Speaker 1: donate to the Presidential Library?
Speaker 7: Can you imagine what truss is gonna look like. It's
Speaker 7: gonna be all gold, a lighted sign. Oh, it's gonna
Speaker 7: be fantastic stories. Yes, I can't wait.
Speaker 6: Well, and it's funded by bezos, and yeah.
Speaker 1: They will be Oh yeah, they already funded the inaugural
Speaker 1: you know, all the inauguration ceremonies, those are all privately funded.
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: Me, Yeah it is ai AI. There you go.
Speaker 6: We moved on.
Speaker 7: Hold on, No, I thought I did the l stay bar. No,
Speaker 7: state Bar had them upside down. I recycle, I recycle stories.
Speaker 7: Sorry I do, I use the paper twice. I had
Speaker 7: them backwards.
Speaker 3: All right. Harvard sues, Wait.
Speaker 2: No, hold out, Nope, State Bar of California.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it, got it, got it.
Speaker 7: Nearly two months after hundreds of Perspective California lawyers complained
Speaker 7: that their bar exams were plagued with all kinds of
Speaker 7: technical problems and irregular irregularities, the state Legal License Body
Speaker 7: UH is pissing more people off by saying, well, some
Speaker 7: of the multiple choice questions were developed with the aid
Speaker 7: of artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with that.
Speaker 3: I really don't. Well, if they're right, nothing, but if
Speaker 3: they're wrong, well well yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, but they've been wrong before.
Speaker 1: I mean the state bar, for example, this is all
Speaker 1: multiple choice questions you're talking about, and there's four answers.
Speaker 2: A multiple choice question will be giving you, and.
Speaker 1: There's four answers that you have to answer for the
Speaker 1: state bar number one. There are two that are kind
Speaker 1: of right that it's not going to be completely right,
Speaker 1: but mostly right. Then there is one that is more
Speaker 1: right than the other two, and then the top one
Speaker 1: which is the most right. And sometimes they are so
Speaker 1: close that if fifty to fifty percent of the people
Speaker 1: answer one way or the other, they throw.
Speaker 2: Out the question. They just throw it out.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 1: It is a bear to take this exam, and so
Speaker 1: it is very difficult to write. And so I think
Speaker 1: AI could work perfectly. By the way, I you know
Speaker 1: how I passed my ethics exam because that's another one
Speaker 1: multiple choice. It's questions were asked and what what is
Speaker 1: what would I supposed to do under the ethics exam?
Speaker 4: I went the other way and I passed. Oh I
Speaker 4: heard it differently.
Speaker 7: I heard you walked up to your teacher, slipped him
Speaker 7: a twenty and said did I pass?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Yes, By the way, you know, I've shared this before.
Speaker 1: You know what my ethics My ethics teacher was my
Speaker 1: ethics professor in law school, Harvey Levin, who created TMZ.
Speaker 7: You know I once, I once corrected a trivial pursuit
Speaker 7: question dealing with the Bible, wrote them and said this
Speaker 7: is wrong.
Speaker 1: Okay, And they came back and said, God will punish you.
Speaker 1: And to this day you're anticipating going to hell. You
Speaker 1: don't argue with trivial pursuit.
Speaker 7: It was wrong. It was flat out wrong, okay. And
Speaker 7: I wasn't on coke, so I know.
Speaker 6: Leaving Las Vegas better be careful.
Speaker 8: A federal review of helicopters safety around some of the
Speaker 8: US busiest airports, prompted by that mid air collision in
Speaker 8: January between a passenger jet and an army helicopter in DC,
Speaker 8: has revealed dangerous flying conditions at the Vegas airport. The
Speaker 8: FAA says the potential for a collision between air tour
Speaker 8: helicopters and planes at Harry Reid International have led the
Speaker 8: agency to make immediate changes to flying rules, and in
Speaker 8: the first three weeks after making those changes, the number
Speaker 8: of collision alerts for planes drop thirty percent.
Speaker 1: You know, you take one of those Las Vegas helicopter
Speaker 1: tours and you are really gambling with your life. You
Speaker 1: know that, Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 5: Didn't even go wrong.
Speaker 7: Elon Musk says he'll be spending less time in Washington
Speaker 7: doing all that government slashing of costs and the like,
Speaker 7: and going back to his first love, Tesla after his company,
Speaker 7: the Electric Vehicle Company, reported big drops in profits and
Speaker 7: you know, a lot of controversy, so investors want to
Speaker 7: see him recommit to Tesla, and it seems like that's
Speaker 7: what he's going to be doing.
Speaker 1: And actually stock went up, but it's down forty percent
Speaker 1: in the last year. Profits are off seventy one percent,
Speaker 1: revenue off nine percent. Ever since he became head of
Speaker 1: Doge just isn't paying attention, and the market recognizes.
Speaker 6: That things have soured.
Speaker 8: At the FDA, US Food and Drug Administration suspended quality
Speaker 8: control programs for testing milk.
Speaker 2: Very good, thank you.
Speaker 8: The Food Emergency Response Network Proficiency testing program that's a
Speaker 8: mouthful is currently transferring to another lab, so it's the
Speaker 8: program's going to continue.
Speaker 6: It's part of the cuts.
Speaker 8: The disruption comes after the Department of Health and Human
Speaker 8: Services cut ten thousand jobs across agencies in earlier April,
Speaker 8: so it looks like they're shifting stuff around. But they
Speaker 8: say they will be doing testing of milk and dairy products.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so right now, and we don't know how long
Speaker 1: it's going to be, but it has been suspended for
Speaker 1: I don't know what period of time. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: there'll be a problem with milk having issues.
Speaker 6: Like bird flu.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well yeah, Neil, this is your wheel haubing.
Speaker 3: We'll be fined.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: They're not going to let dangerous products go out unless
Speaker 7: people are purposely tampering them, tampering.
Speaker 3: With them to make it look like I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: Although, yeah, unless RFK Junior says that milk causes autism,
Speaker 1: then there's going.
Speaker 5: To be an issue.
Speaker 6: He's not gonna say that.
Speaker 7: Your autistic intolerant. You know what would happen though, is
Speaker 7: that if this is a problem, cheese and yogurt production
Speaker 7: will go up.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, okay, pasteurized.
Speaker 3: No, because it's bad milk essentially.
Speaker 6: Oh, I got it.
Speaker 7: Sarah Palin she Is was shot down her second bit
Speaker 7: against The New York Times, almost eight years after she,
Speaker 7: as the Alaska governor, first filed her complaint. Verdict came
Speaker 7: less than a week after the trial began and two
Speaker 7: years after she lost the first case against the paper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the argument the paper there was an editorial.
Speaker 1: It said that she had engaged in political incitement ahead
Speaker 1: of the twenty eleven shooting of Gabby Giffords. Whenever you're
Speaker 1: arguing this kind of defamation lawsuit, what you're saying is
Speaker 1: that your reputation has been affected. The problem with the
Speaker 1: Sarah Pay lawsuit is how much of her reputation could
Speaker 1: be worse than her reputation. See if I'm on the jury,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go, yeah, you were the fame, but
Speaker 1: the bottom line is your reputation is solo anyway.
Speaker 7: Okay, what happened to slander laws and all that stuff?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, well there's a libel per se, which is
Speaker 1: libel on its face, and that doesn't have to be proved.
Speaker 1: For example, this goes back to common law. I mean
Speaker 1: we're talking about hundreds of years in England and when
Speaker 1: law was developed, and common law is unwritten law. Now
Speaker 1: it has been put into statute, a lot of it.
Speaker 1: But you've got libel per se on which you argue
Speaker 1: someone is inherently dishonest in business, calling a woman a
Speaker 1: non chase, in other words, arguing that a woman is
Speaker 1: not a virgin. That is liable per se.
Speaker 2: Loathsome disease.
Speaker 1: If you say someone is suffering from a loathsome disease
Speaker 1: read in those days it would be leprosy, where your
Speaker 1: fingers and your sponts would fall off.
Speaker 2: Those are liable, per se. The rest of it.
Speaker 1: You have to prove that there was actual malice in
Speaker 1: her case. I believe this was an editorial and so
Speaker 1: you know, opinion is not liable. Now it can be.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the whole point is, you know what kind
Speaker 1: of reputation that she has that it was ruined. Although
Speaker 1: she's arguing and I probably legitimately saying, hey, I didn't
Speaker 1: have anything to do with Gabby Gifford's being shot, and
Speaker 1: the editorial sort of moved in that direction, saying that
Speaker 1: we are changing society is more apt to shoot each
Speaker 1: other based on her philosophy.
Speaker 2: So it's interesting case. But anyway, she lost, she's done.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Moving on, We've got.
Speaker 8: A whale of a problem in the waters. And that's
Speaker 8: not even meant to be a joke, because there's been
Speaker 8: another whale found dead off of San Francisco Bay. It's
Speaker 8: the fifth one in the area in less than a month.
Speaker 8: The female gray whale drifted in overnight on April twentieth,
Speaker 8: spotted by the US Coast Guard. And as you'll remember,
Speaker 8: we also had the minky whale down here in the
Speaker 8: Long Beach Harbor that died. That one they've determined was
Speaker 8: because of the algae bloom that it had that demoic
Speaker 8: acid toxicity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one of the reasons that Neil doesn't
Speaker 1: go to the beach because when he is there, I
Speaker 1: mean I have seen people with a stick pokemon say, oh,
Speaker 1: they keep.
Speaker 3: Trying to be alive. We'll be back in the water and.
Speaker 2: You float, that's yeah, where you're asleep in the water.
Speaker 7: Hey, you know a guy named Jonah tried to light
Speaker 7: a fire in my belly.
Speaker 2: It was yeah, all right, I think we have time
Speaker 2: for one more.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 7: NASA rover discovers out of place skull on Mars and
Speaker 7: scientists are baffled. You know, they have these rock formations
Speaker 7: where the lights and shadows make them look like, you
Speaker 7: know something. Well, they're looking at the Jazaro Crater and
Speaker 7: this is this barren kind of bowl shaped depression there
Speaker 7: and they are looking to see if there was a
Speaker 7: lake there billions of years ago and things like that.
Speaker 7: But they're finding that these these this area nicknamed Skull Hill,
Speaker 7: that some of the rock formations weren't native to that location.
Speaker 7: So they're wondering how they moved there, possibly rivers at
Speaker 7: one time or things like that, but they're not sure
Speaker 7: how these things have moved, not in our lifetime, but
Speaker 7: they can tell that they weren't natively in that location.
Speaker 3: It seems.
Speaker 8: Couldn't.
Speaker 2: Thets are going to go crazy?
Speaker 5: What amy?
Speaker 6: Couldn't there have been an earthquake not on Mars.
Speaker 3: It would be a marsquake.
Speaker 6: Couldn't there have been a Mars quake? That's a good point, Neil.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, it could be.
Speaker 1: And so it could have been some kind of a
Speaker 1: volcano that the rocks spewed up out of the earth.
Speaker 3: Conspiracy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the conspiracy theorists are going to go nuts on this,
Speaker 2: and I can't wait for that.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, they're trying.
Speaker 7: They're wondering how a flat disc could cause rocks in
Speaker 7: the first place.
Speaker 1: Hello, Oh, I get it, I think No, I I
Speaker 1: get that. I got that, No, I got it? Got
Speaker 1: it finally?
Speaker 2: All right, this is KFI AM six point forty. You've
Speaker 2: been listening to the Bill Handle show.
Speaker 1: Catch my show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
