WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.120 You're listening to I AM six forty the bill Handles 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:11.160 show on demand on the iHeartRadio f. 3 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:12.759 I AM six forty bill Handle. 4 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.480 Here. It is a Friday morning, June twentieth, footy Friday, 5 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.120 and it was Solstice Friday, longest day of the year. 6 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.559 So enjoy, especially you druids, as you dance around Stonehenge 7 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:32.679 and do whatever incantations you do. Yesterday, the Nice Circuit 8 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.799 Court of Appeals gave the President a big win, and 9 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.679 this has to do with him federalizing the National Guard 10 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.719 after Gavin Newsom said, no, don't do it. Usually when 11 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.399 the president national federalizes the National Guard, it's upon the 12 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.840 request of the governor or a mayor. But the governor says, hey, 13 00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.280 I need some help here, and it's happened a few 14 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.920 times when you have made riots, etc. Or natural disasters 15 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.400 and a lot of help is needed. Well, in this case, 16 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.879 the president did it on his own because of security 17 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.480 and the invasion of illegal migrants and these protests that 18 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.760 were occurring, and his argument was that this is a 19 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.400 national security issue and therefore I have a right to 20 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.439 do this. And of course an immediate lawsuit was filed 21 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.200 by Newsom and other activist organization saying no, he didn't, 22 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.719 he went past his authority. Okay, there's a lawsuit. So 23 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.519 now you have the lower court agrees with Newsom, and 24 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.000 on the appeals the Third Circuit Court or the Ninth 25 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.319 Circuit Court, three judges. This was a unanimous decision, which 26 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.959 one was a Trump appointee. 27 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.879 That's it said, the president can do this. 28 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.000 Now, it's a little bit complicated because one of the 29 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.359 things that the administration said is that the president has 30 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:05.519 un bridled he has unbridled control here his decision making. 31 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.240 The courts don't even have the right to review it. 32 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.479 And the court came down and said, well, that part 33 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.759 is not true. We do have the right to review it. 34 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:18.639 So you lose on that one. 35 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:19.479 Mister President. 36 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.439 However, based on the history of the United States and 37 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.800 based on the exigency and not only the right, but 38 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.800 the duty of a president to keep security to what's 39 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.599 the number one thing that a president always says that 40 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:40.280 the duty of a president is to keep Americans safe. Now, 41 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.199 this president, the duty is to sell us as many 42 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.719 coins that have his face on it as you possibly can. 43 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.840 But it is to keep Americans safe. 44 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.840 And what the court said is that is his primary 45 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.120 duty and unless he makes some wild ass. 46 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.840 Decision which is completely. 47 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.319 Out of the mold and makes no sense whatsoever. And 48 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.080 the example I can bring up is you have one 49 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.479 person caught at the border, and the president declares that 50 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.039 an invasion and then federalizes the National Guard across the country. 51 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.319 And by the way, Elena Kagan in another case asked 52 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.960 the attorney for the administration, does the president have the 53 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.520 right if there is a problem in one area, one 54 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.240 small area of the country, to federalize national guard across 55 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.199 the country. And the attorney said, yeah, he does. Well, 56 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.080 the court said he doesn't. But great deference, not just deference, 57 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.680 is given to the president, great deference which means that 58 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:57.479 effectively the president does have unbridled power and decision making. 59 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.000 Under these circumstances, you win because in order to argue 60 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.199 that he has exceeded his authority, as I said, the 61 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:12.400 decision has to be so arbitrary, so capricious, that it 62 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.159 defies credulity and. 63 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.000 Makes no sense whatsoever. 64 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.319 And the argument is, if you look at the millions 65 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.759 of migrants that have come across the country over the 66 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:26.480 last several years, you can say this is an invasion, 67 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.920 and even though I don't think it's an invasion. You 68 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.839 can say, those people can say this is an invasion, 69 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.800 and the Court's going to say, you know, we don't 70 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.079 agree with that. But the president has the right to 71 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.800 call it an invasion. The President has the right to 72 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.240 say the protesters are doing so in such a way 73 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.240 is that the security of federal buildings, the security of 74 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.879 federal personnel is at risk. And therefore I am federalizing 75 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.600 the National Guard. And the Court greed and said, yep, 76 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.600 you certainly do so this is considered a big win. 77 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.839 Of course, this is going to be appealed immediately to 78 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.079 the Supreme Court, and the Court is going to hear 79 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.000 a bunch of these cases. 80 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:13.920 Now, the Court is not going to hear all of them. 81 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:14.759 It's impossible. 82 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.519 And why is that Because the court hears about seventy 83 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.439 cases a year. Five thousand cases are submitted to the 84 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:28.279 Supreme Court every year, so the court denies ninety something percent. 85 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.600 And already dozens of these cases have been submitted to 86 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.399 the Supreme Court by states that Attorney's general and local 87 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:42.079 governments and governors. In dealing with the Trump administration and 88 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.839 what the Trump administration is doing, how much is the 89 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.360 court going to hear. Oh, here's some this one who 90 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.560 the hell knows. I think those that argue that he 91 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.240 doesn't have the authority the court is going to hear. 92 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.279 All right, Coming up the Democratic Party. You would think 93 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.879 that the Democratic Party would be pretty powerful right now, 94 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.839 especially in light of how many people do not like 95 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.680 Donald Trump. Well, he has his followers. Those that don't 96 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.639 like him are more than like him. And yet at 97 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.199 the same time, what's happening to the Democratic Party. It's 98 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.279 being cut off at his knees. It's cutting itself off 99 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:20.639 at his knees. And I'll explain. 100 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.120 Yeah, fine, a M six. 101 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.240 Forty bill handle here on a Friday, foody Friday, June 102 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.319 twentieth day of Solstice, the longest day of the year. 103 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.000 Before I get to the Democratic Party collapsing onto itself, 104 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.480 I want to remind you that coming up Saturday, June 105 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.199 twenty eight, at eight o'clock at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, 106 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.519 there will be a concert the LA Lawyers, Philharmonic and 107 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:53.000 Legal Voices and IMC. The event every year and it 108 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.360 is a group of musicians, world class musicians from the 109 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:02.680 legal profession, lawyers, judges, pair of legals, etc. Who decided 110 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.800 instead of going into music full time they would make 111 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.879 a living and went into the legal field. And so 112 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.439 it's Saturday night and they're gonna be playing Carmina Burana 113 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:19.839 pictures at an exhibition and a bunch of selections from 114 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.079 Phantom of the Opera. I'd love to have you guys there. 115 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.959 Go to La Lawyersphil dot org. Tickets are very reasonable. 116 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.560 Twenty bucks up. That's La Lawyers Phil is in Philharmonic, 117 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.959 La Lawyers Phil dot org. All right, now, Democratic Party 118 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:38.879 is absolutely falling apart. 119 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.319 Oh, I got my dog. Okay, hello, I got my 120 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.519 little wing here who comes in in the morning. 121 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.439 Says hello, Democratic Party is falling apart. I don't know 122 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.639 if you read Jake Tapper's book Original Sin, which I loved, 123 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.120 And it has to do with Joe Biden effectively destroying 124 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.959 the party, him running for president when he shouldn't have, 125 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:04.079 and the inner circle of the Democratic hierarchy backing him 126 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.959 up and covering up how screwed up he was. But 127 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.759 that just gives you an idea of, well, how screwed up. 128 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.399 The demoparty Democratic Party is? 129 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.040 It is now for the most part irrelevant, But look 130 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:23.240 what's happened over the past weekend, right Americans demonstrated against 131 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.959 the president, the No King's protest, which was at the 132 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.360 same time that the anniversary of the US Army two 133 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.440 hundred and fifty years and Donald Trump's birthday seventy nine. 134 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.000 And so look at what happened during the parade. How 135 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.840 many people actually showed up? You know, Trump said there'd 136 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.440 be two hundred thousand people there, right. Did you see 137 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.519 any video of crowds there? I didn't. In the meantime, 138 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.080 did you see videos of the No King's protests across 139 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.799 two thousand cities where it is estimated five million people 140 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.399 showed up. You would think based on the fact that 141 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.679 this enormous outpouring of anti Trump sentiment, and it was 142 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:10.919 an anti Trump demonstration, no question about it. Well, it 143 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.279 wasn't organized by the Democratic Party. It had nothing to 144 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.519 do with the Democratic Party. It was very grassroots. And 145 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.759 the point is exactly that the Democratic Party wasn't involved. 146 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.639 The Democratic Party has fallen apart what they did during 147 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.919 the last election, if you think about it, is number 148 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.399 one ran Joe Biden. He had said he wasn't going 149 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.799 to but of course he changed his mind and decided 150 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.440 he is the hubris. 151 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.480 He is the best thing for America. 152 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.559 I don't know why presidents say that I am the 153 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.039 best thing that could ever happen to America. And you 154 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.039 need me more than I need you. And this is 155 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.320 to Americans, all right. 156 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.720 So you got a guy who basically has lost it. 157 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.080 He's lost as marbles, and the Inner Circle covered up 158 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.519 the fact that he lost his marbles, and book goes 159 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.600 into to what extent That was number one problem, or 160 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:09.679 actually several problems. Number two problem is that the Democratic Party, 161 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.600 instead of telling people, instead of telling voters us what 162 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.159 they will do for us, it was anti Trump. And 163 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.840 you know there are enough Trump voters that just didn't 164 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.799 want to hear it. You know, stop attacking us. 165 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.200 What are you going to do? Stop attacking Trump? 166 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.279 And then the third one was Kamala Harris, who, if 167 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.759 she had actually run on her own during the primary, 168 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.120 I completely believe would not have a chance in hell 169 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.039 of getting the nomination. Why did she get it, Well 170 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.879 because she was the vice presidential candidate and the Democratic 171 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:52.960 Party decided, no, we've got someone here who is inheriting it. 172 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.399 That's the other thing Democratic Party does is a certain 173 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.360 Hillary Clinton. She had run during the primary, Obama won 174 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.759 the primary. 175 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.559 And I'm assuming a deal was cut. 176 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.799 Tell you what, you endorse me, And this happens across 177 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.720 the board, particularly during the Trump the Trump White House. 178 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.519 You endorse me, and you will get and in the 179 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.480 case of Hillary, you will get the nomination next time 180 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.879 out because you're inheriting it. Well, look at what's going 181 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:26.639 on currently. You endorse me, and here's what you're gonna get. 182 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:34.480 Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services read John Reid, 183 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:44.200 RFK Defense read Pete hegsith. That's unfortunately, those are the deals. 184 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:44.399 That were cut. 185 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.200 Do you know that there actually used to be a 186 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.919 time when presidents named people that were actually qualified. 187 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.960 Look at the history of Abraham Lincoln. Do you know 188 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:54.879 he put on. 189 00:11:55.240 --> 00:12:00.799 The cabinet people that hated him, that ran against him, 190 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:03.720 and he put them into place. 191 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.480 Why because he thought they were the most qualified. Good 192 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:10.360 luck today doing that. 193 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.919 And so you've got the Democratic National Committee splintering. You 194 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.039 don't have a leader of the Democratic Party. I think 195 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.320 you would have if Barack Obama stepped in. Now he 196 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.840 couldn't run again, but I think he could be a 197 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.480 king maker. I think he would have a tremendous amount 198 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:29.000 of influence. 199 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.720 You know, why he doesn't want to. He's done. He 200 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.840 barely went out and endorsed Joe Biden. You know what, 201 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.039 I'm finished. Let me go on. He's making forty million 202 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:39.720 dollars a year. 203 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.519 He's working with Netflix, he gets a quarter of million 204 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:43.600 dollars per speech. 205 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.240 And Michelle are having the time in their lives. You know, 206 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.919 we're done. You can't blame him for that. 207 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.720 And so in the end, you've got a party that 208 00:12:53.840 --> 00:13:00.240 is unprepared, uninspired, more consumed with relitigating. 209 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.879 Twenty twenty twenty four. Then looking forward to. 210 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.559 Twenty twenty six, now relitigating, Well, you got a president 211 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.200 that realitigates twenty twenty more than anybody else. But it 212 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.039 seems to be working for him. It doesn't even matter 213 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:17.840 if he's working for him, he's the president. So I 214 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:24.240 believe that it is more of a negative. People who 215 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:31.000 didn't like the Democratic Party, who voted against Donald Trump, 216 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.440 and not enough of them did just misread everything, just 217 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.879 misread it. And I think starting with Joe Biden, and 218 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.840 then we have to find out who's going to be 219 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.279 the standard bearer, and there is nobody tell you one thing. 220 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.240 There're gonna be people gonna push Kamala Harris figure that 221 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:47.720 one out. 222 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:49.480 Good luck. 223 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.679 I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican, but it's 224 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.519 certainly going to get interesting. All right, coming up, Jeff 225 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.519 Be's Bezos is going to get married. Let me tell 226 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.960 you about a few weddings that have come down the pike. 227 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.799 I just having finished a wedding which I thought was 228 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.600 pretty pricey. 229 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.679 Huh. Let me tell you a couple of stories that's 230 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:15.200 coming up. 231 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.080 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 232 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:20.960 six forty. 233 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.639 KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here. Good morning everybody. 234 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.080 It is a foody Friday. Ask handle anything Friday, Solstice Friday, 235 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.200 longest day of the year, Friday. So we've got a 236 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.120 fair amount to cover a couple of things about weddings. 237 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:41.200 This is gonna be a wedding story. 238 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.440 And you know, I got married in Italy. It was 239 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:49.159 a destination wedding, and I thought I spent real money 240 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.279 on that wedding. Oh incidentally, it costs less for that 241 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.639 wedding than it would cost here in the United States. 242 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.600 It was actually a bargain including airfare. Just want to 243 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:01.879 let you know. 244 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.720 It leaves a great place to have a wedding food 245 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.279 is a lot cheaper. Southern California's expensive to do everything, 246 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.360 So I thought I spent some money. Well, we know 247 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:18.519 that Jeff Bezos Bezos, I always get that wrong. Is 248 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:24.919 getting married in Venice also destination wedding. Now I'm assuming 249 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.039 he is going to spend a couple of more dollars 250 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:34.399 than I did, because weddings now among mega rich people 251 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:35.840 have taken onto. 252 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.159 A whole whole new level. 253 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:46.360 Florida ceiling, floral installations, performances by pop megastars, catering by 254 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.240 some of the biggest catering companies in the world. A 255 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.440 recent wedding one of these big ones. There was a 256 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:57.960 security guard for the cutlery. What does that tell you? 257 00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:59.759 Pretty expensive cutlery. 258 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:05.159 There was a wedding last year Ennant and Radica Ambonni. 259 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.480 You never heard of them, but it was a three 260 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.240 day wedding in India, a custom built glass palace, performance 261 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:16.279 by Rihanna Richie Grangie or Grange and Atlantic Records chief 262 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:22.200 executive Elliott Range. Twenty twenty three were multiple days in Antife, France. 263 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.440 Chanelle Gowns an after party headed headed by Good Charlotte. 264 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:32.320 The band now No. One knows what Bezos. 265 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.320 And Lauren Chance's wedding is going to be in Venice, 266 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.279 But let me tell you it's expected to be insane. 267 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.879 It may be the most expensive wedding in history. So 268 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:43.879 planners are no longer planners. 269 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:47.480 They're producers. That's what they are. 270 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.960 I mean a luxury wedding multi day usually they last 271 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.399 for days with two hundred guests among these people, has 272 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:01.399 a price tag of about four million dollars. It's according 273 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.440 to a director of events at a luxury planning firm. 274 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:10.400 It's called banana split, cocktail, our caviar, seventy five thousand dollars, 275 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.000 hanging installations. 276 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:14.279 It's not just a cater you hire. 277 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.039 You hire a cater who then hires a food stylist 278 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.599 so the food looks just perfect. 279 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.319 And it's not just flowers. 280 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.480 Because as one of these planners said, you know, you 281 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:29.920 could spend a million dollars on flowers, but if you 282 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.319 just have. 283 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.720 Walls, what does that do? 284 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.039 So they bring in drapery experts and hang draperies all 285 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:37.920 over the rooms. 286 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.599 That's special. Why not? 287 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.319 There is one company in London and works with teams 288 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.640 as large as you're ready for this, five hundred people 289 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.200 can work on a wedding. She said, In one wedding, 290 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.240 we've got eighty thousand rows stems. Can you image jen, 291 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.519 how many people it takes to condition eighty thousand rose. 292 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.319 Stems and heywood. 293 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.079 This woman also maintains a full time, twenty person staff 294 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:16.440 to assist with details like steaming bridesmaid's dresses. I get that, 295 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.160 but assigning people to look after family VIPs, parents, friends, 296 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.359 everybody has their own persons, like security. 297 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:29.000 I guess they have it. So what happens? One wedding planner. 298 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.119 One wedding producer said that the clients typically hope to 299 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.240 show that guests something they've never experienced before. And you're 300 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.680 talking billionaires, you're trying to impress. So he has built 301 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.920 six hundred thousand dollars structures, which then was taken down. 302 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:51.599 Ordered custom furniture from Egypt works with silk flowers, typically 303 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.119 twenty five thousand to seventy five thousand dollars. 304 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.559 How's that for a wedding? Wow? 305 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:01.400 By the way, just to let you know how much 306 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.400 drapery costs, there was one wedding that just happened one 307 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.599 hundred and seventy thousand dollars worth of drapery and you're 308 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:11.079 not buying the drapes, right, you're renting them. Also, there's 309 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:17.880 video mapping where light light experts, where technicians project three 310 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:21.839 D images throughout the whole venue, so you're walking through holographs. 311 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:28.480 They are immersive. It's like going to you know, a 312 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:30.319 theme park, you know where you walk through. 313 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:36.119 These white projections are between sixty to one hundred thousand dollars. 314 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.920 Here's one of the better ones that was just described, 315 00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:44.160 A fifty a five hundred thousand dollars holograph of a 316 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.640 grandfather of the bride who came in and talked and 317 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:54.960 wished his granddaughter happy wedding half a million bucks and 318 00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:02.000 who has been invited to perform at these weddings. Paul McCartney, 319 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:08.119 Elton John, the Rolling Stones, Lionel, Lionel, Lionel, Lionel, Richie. 320 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.480 I mean, can you imagine the cost of one of those. 321 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:17.119 It is being reported that Justin Bieber earned ten million 322 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.319 dollars for performing at that am Bonnie wedding last summer. 323 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.920 Clearly they had people that were deaf that were there 324 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:30.680 because no one who could hear could take Justin Bieber. Oh, 325 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.720 just here's one an interesting sidebar. A couple of these 326 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:39.559 wedding producers were interviewed and the one person that they've 327 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.480 tried to book and it doesn't matter how much money 328 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.000 was offered, Adele, she just won't go. 329 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.680 Adele won't go. 330 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.200 Remember the story that when Rush Limbaugh got married, he 331 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:53.680 hired Elton John, and this was a million years ago, 332 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:55.720 to perform at his wedding. There were twenty people there 333 00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.519 in the room and paid Elton John a million dollars, 334 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.319 which Elton John and by the way, those two were odds. 335 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.039 Elton John went. There was a lot of backlash on 336 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.279 that one. Elton John put the money into his AIDS foundation. 337 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.240 Can't wait to report. 338 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.519 On on this wedding coming up. 339 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:21.480 Just terrific. 340 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:24.640 All right, done with that, God, And I thought my 341 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:25.680 wedding was expensive. 342 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.240 By the way, do we have pictures of my wedding? 343 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:30.720 Neil? I think we have photos, but not the video. 344 00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:34.960 I think there's been some stuff posted, is there. The 345 00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:40.359 video is just getting finishing editing right now. And it's 346 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:41.079 a fun wedding. 347 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:43.559 I will tell you I saw something that I'd never 348 00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:44.200 seen before. 349 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.480 And Neil, that's true. There were fireworks at my wedding. 350 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:49.480 Massive fireworks. 351 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:54.880 Yeah, yeah, I did the fireworks. Yeah, but probably. 352 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:56.920 I don't know, ten times cheaper than it would be 353 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:02.640 here really, so yeah, oh yeah, costs fair. I was 354 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.039 stunned at how much money because the wedding planner at 355 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.920 the venue, Andrea, said, how about fireworks? 356 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.279 I said, are you out of your mind? Fireworks? And 357 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.640 he goes, this is how much it costs. I went done, done, 358 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:19.519 it's fireworks, all right? Coming up side hustling, I did it. 359 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.319 I asked all around the room this morning, all of 360 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.440 us working on the morning show, do you know how 361 00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.799 many of us have side jobs? All of us are 362 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.079 working second jobs. That's America. Now I'll finish up with 363 00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:34.680 that and then right into Foody Friday. KFI AM six forty, 364 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:40.279 KFI AM six forty bill handle. It is a foody Friday. 365 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.720 Ask candle anything Friday.

So Sam is 369 00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:57.480 filling in for kno. All right, this morning I had 370 00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:59.960 mentioned that I was going to do a story about 371 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.799 side hustling, and Americans are just doing it. It's a 372 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.599 thing now, and there are a bunch of reasons for it. 373 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.079 And just as part of the story, I went around 374 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:13.960 the room here and ask people, you know, do you 375 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:19.039 have another job? Every one of us had another job. 376 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:24.240 Everyone Sam also has another job. Who's in and Kono 377 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:27.559 we know has another job? And we all do. And 378 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:33.079 it is just a thing. And why Well, because it's 379 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:36.359 it's it's it's more expensive. Wages have not kept up. 380 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.880 You know, there are you know, Indian cardiologists I know 381 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:46.039 that work on work at seven eleven for a few 382 00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:48.759 hours a week to make a little bit more pocket 383 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.319 money because they're just not getting paid enough. 384 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:54.880 It's it's a different it's a different world. 385 00:23:55.599 --> 00:24:00.720 And and as people are growing up, you got millennials 386 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:05.359 and Gen Zers, as they're coming up, more and more 387 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:12.440 people generationally that are growing up have side jobs. And 388 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:17.160 is it because of money? Well, some are because they're bored. 389 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.440 I'm willing to guess that most are because of money. 390 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.079 You just have to have extra bucks. 391 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.559 You do. Neil has a job. I know that Will 392 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:27.599 has an extra job. 393 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.599 And boy, she didn't sleep last night she was at 394 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.200 so far she has an extra job. 395 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.640 I've always had extra jobs. I never was I was 396 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:39.160 never in law school without a job. 397 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.440 I never was in college without a job. I mean, 398 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.079 it's just one of those things that you know, I'm 399 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.480 looking at retiring at some point I can see the 400 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:50.759 end of my career. It's not going to be too 401 00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.279
