Speaker 2: I mean you are that white. I do appreciate that, sir, Thank.
Speaker 1: You, quite all right, and good morning. Can't hear you?
Speaker 1: Anne got to turn on the mic. No, something's going

Speaker 1: know people can see it, all right, fair enough, Well
Speaker 1: she figures that out, Neil, good morning, What up? What
Speaker 1: do yeah? I try that? Yeah, okay, we can go
Speaker 1: for that one for a real long time. All right. Oh,
Speaker 1: we got a lot to cover today, some insane stuff.
Speaker 1: As I have been saying, it's we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about Trump. I think more over the next four years
Speaker 1: than any other president we ever have talked about or
Speaker 1: ever will talk about. And so there's a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of new things going on in the Trump world and
Speaker 1: our world. And I actually know people. I was talking
Speaker 1: to someone that's pretty close to me and we had
Speaker 1: a meeting set up, and she said, she's going to India.
Speaker 1: I go India. She said, Yeah. The first time Trump
Speaker 1: was elected, I had to get out of there. I'm
Speaker 1: going to India, and I went to India. Now I'm
Speaker 1: celebrating the sex the second election. I'm going to India. Okay,
Speaker 1: why India? I have no idea, no idea. Okay, you
Speaker 1: can give me the perplexed Look.
Speaker 2: What happened last time?
Speaker 1: He was I just wanted to share it. Now, it's nothing.
Speaker 1: I was just in conversation with her and she had
Speaker 1: mentioned that, that's all, and that was connected to we're
Speaker 1: going to talk more about Trump than any other president
Speaker 1: ever have ever will Okay, fair enough, matter of fact,
Speaker 1: That's exactly what we open our news news hour with.
Speaker 1: It's time for Handle on the News, Michael Monks and
Speaker 1: for Amy Neil and me lead story. I once loved
Speaker 1: a woman a child.
Speaker 4: I'm too.
Speaker 2: I give him my heart, but she wanted my soul.
Speaker 1: How does that work? Elmer? How do you connect that
Speaker 1: music to this story? I have a question about that.
Speaker 3: I was looking for songs about like getting fired from work,
Speaker 3: and this is like the main one.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, anyway, guests who got fired from work?
Speaker 1: As Elmer just said, Trump, Oh, here's a shocker. Fired
Speaker 1: the prosecutors who prosecuted him during the last cycle, the
Speaker 1: election or the actually it was doing the election cycle
Speaker 1: where Trump ended up winning. So he said, they're all gone,
Speaker 1: and you know what happens. They're all gone. And these
Speaker 1: are career prosecutors. And I'm hearing the liberal media get
Speaker 1: pretty upset about My god. These are career prosecutors. They
Speaker 1: were only doing their job. Trump shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1: These were the guys that were trying to put him
Speaker 1: in jail. He is now the president. What would you do?
Speaker 1: I'd fire their asses immediately too, That's what I would do.
Speaker 1: So they're gone. And they were told by the acting
Speaker 1: Attorney General saying, you know, I just don't believe you,
Speaker 1: or he said in a statement, he didn't believe that
Speaker 1: these officials could be trusted to faithfully implement the president's
Speaker 1: agenda because of their significant role in prosecuting the president.
Speaker 1: Now those that are defending them are saying, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: they just follow the law and they'll prosecute anybody in
Speaker 1: which an indict has been brought forward, although they're the
Speaker 1: ones that brought the indictment. So you know, what do
Speaker 1: you do with that? You know, is that wrong? Maybe?
Speaker 1: Would I do that? Yes? Absolutely all right.
Speaker 4: I think at some point we will be able to
Speaker 4: study the OPRAH to MAGA pipeline. Because we had doctor Oz,
Speaker 4: now we have doctor Phil. I'm wondering if anybody has
Speaker 4: seen Nate Burkis lately. I haven't heard from him. Maybe
Speaker 4: he's decorating the White House these days. But if you've
Speaker 4: seen videos of some of these immigration enforcement efforts around
Speaker 4: the country, you might have seen a guy named doctor
Speaker 4: Phil McGraw show up in them. I'll note that he
Speaker 4: posted a video on his own ex profile where he
Speaker 4: is seen talking to a guy in handcuffs and this
Speaker 4: guy asked for a lawyer, and then his next question
Speaker 4: is are you doctor Phil?
Speaker 2: What do you think, Phil?
Speaker 1: What do I think? What doctor Phil said? He probably said,
Speaker 1: And by the way, how do you feel about being deported? Uh?
Speaker 1: Is it really bothering you? Are you coping with this
Speaker 1: very well? You need to take a dip in like
Speaker 1: you Uh yeah, he embedded It was embedded in an
Speaker 1: ice action. Sure, why not? Now, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: Phil mcgrah is connected with Trump. It's it's news to me.
Speaker 1: And maybe I just think, Okay, I didn't, you know,
Speaker 1: that's just something I don't know. Uh So he is
Speaker 1: he's a trumpst Well.
Speaker 4: He spoke at that that rally that Trump had at
Speaker 4: Madison Square.
Speaker 1: Guard Oh you know what, And I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: see that part of it. Okay, fair enough?
Speaker 5: Oprah likes those that now are on the side of
Speaker 5: Maga and then those that are now in prison for rape.
Speaker 2: You know Oprah and I thought Oprah was a liberal.
Speaker 4: I thought Oprah Oprah is but she has platform folks
Speaker 4: who have taken any different.
Speaker 1: Political German and uh, that's just doctor Oz again, a
Speaker 1: super conservative who came out of the Oprah world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Where's that designer guy, Nate Burkis?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, why all right, go ahead and take
Speaker 1: a break. See rounding up? Got it out here? We
Speaker 1: have another Trump story. A lot of this is really strange.
Speaker 1: Some of it absolutely as I said yesterday. You know,
Speaker 1: some of the positions at the Trump administration is taking
Speaker 1: you may disagree with, but is understandable. There's a logic
Speaker 1: to it. It's a political view. A few are just
Speaker 1: like insane. Next one coming up right there in the
Speaker 1: crazy World.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 3: six forty.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what we're doing every Friday now.
Speaker 1: It's Ask Handle Anything. It's a fairly new segment and
Speaker 1: we are doing this just to embarrass me. And what
Speaker 1: you do is you record a question, any kind of
Speaker 1: a question. I generally answer it and try to get
Speaker 1: a little bit out of the box. So here's how
Speaker 1: you do it. You go to the iHeart app while
Speaker 1: this show is broadcasting. Go to the KFI paie each
Speaker 1: At the top of the KFI page, there is a
Speaker 1: microphone in the upp right hand corner. Press on that
Speaker 1: microphone and you have fifteen seconds which to ask me
Speaker 1: a question and make it a little bit different. And
Speaker 1: then I honestly tell you what the answer is. And
Speaker 1: people are enjoying it, and it's all about humiliating me.
Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna do it for a while.
Speaker 1: And so that happens on Friday, by the way, when
Speaker 1: we broadcasted the eight thirty segment and Neil and Ann
Speaker 1: choose the questions. I don't know what they are until
Speaker 1: you hear them and I hear them at the same time.
Speaker 1: So ask handle anything, go to the iHeart app. All right,
Speaker 1: let's do it.
Speaker 5: You know what, I'll help people really quickly. He's no
Speaker 5: longer in the Persian Palace. Yes he's getting married. No
Speaker 5: legal questions. Oh and the podcast was just too much. Okay,
Speaker 5: anything outside of those you're fine.
Speaker 1: Yes, the you know what I am? You know what background,
Speaker 1: what ethnicity, I'm a member of the size of the member,
Speaker 1: which has a lot to do with the ethnicity and
Speaker 1: the religious background. It's all really connected. Okay, back we
Speaker 1: go more Handle on the news with White Jiggy Boy,
Speaker 1: Michael Monks, Neil Savedra and me.
Speaker 5: A US Center for Disease Control and Prevention official sent
Speaker 5: a memo to senior leaders at the agency on Sunday night,
Speaker 5: telling them that all staff who work with the WHO
Speaker 5: must immediately stop their collaborations and wait for their guidance.
Speaker 2: And they said what, and they said who, and then
Speaker 2: they went third.
Speaker 1: Base, right, and then they played a Who's song. Yeah, great,
Speaker 1: great band. I'm going to do more about this at
Speaker 1: eight thirty because this is one of those where I
Speaker 1: had mentioned before we had gone to break that there's
Speaker 1: things that are going on with the administration you can
Speaker 1: completely disagree with, but there's a logic, and then there's
Speaker 1: other stuff that makes no sense.
Speaker 2: This is in the latter category. All right, how about
Speaker 2: this one?
Speaker 4: All federal grants and loan disbursement has been paused by
Speaker 4: the White House, So the federal agencies now must temporarily
Speaker 4: pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all
Speaker 4: federal financial assistance. And this is a pause that also
Speaker 4: blocks the issuance of new grants that could be a
Speaker 4: problem for people, governments, businesses.
Speaker 1: Now, this does not necessarily mean that all that all
Speaker 1: grants will in fact be eliminated, because it is a
Speaker 1: pause while they figure this out. But this is an
Speaker 1: insane amount of money. And Trump, he ran on the
Speaker 1: promise that he was going to rip up the government
Speaker 1: and he's doing that because people don't trust the government.
Speaker 1: They trust him not to trust the government. And he
Speaker 1: is a president, our president, who has come in on
Speaker 1: the promise that it's all going to be blown up
Speaker 1: and start from scratch again. And it's happening. It is happening.
Speaker 5: This is my rifle, this is my gun. This one's
Speaker 5: for killing, this one's for fun. Maybe that won't be heard.
Speaker 1: And that's a woman saying that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. President Trump.
Speaker 5: On Monday, Wow announced that he had signed four executive
Speaker 5: orders that will reshape the military, including banning transgender service
Speaker 5: members from service in the US Armed Forces, getting the
Speaker 5: military's diversity, equity and inclusion programs gutting them rather, and
Speaker 5: reinstating with backpay service members who were discharged for refusing.
Speaker 2: To get vaccinated from COVID nineteen. Why would you care
Speaker 2: if somebody was transgender in the military.
Speaker 1: Because if you are transgender per se, there was something
Speaker 1: wrong with you. That's for starters. Second of all, that
Speaker 1: it's an issue of our people in the LGBTQ community,
Speaker 1: and specifically transgender who get the most grief of all.
Speaker 1: Do they want equal rights or do they want more rights?
Speaker 1: And the issue among conservatives they shouldn't exist at all.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that our country it doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. There is
Speaker 1: a whole underlying issue against this weird, crazy, demented, perverse
Speaker 1: way of living. If someone wants to be a transgender
Speaker 1: and we don't want them folks in our military. Just
Speaker 1: if you were born a man, you're a man. If
Speaker 1: you're a woman, you're a woman. And never the twain
Speaker 1: shall meet.
Speaker 2: Absolutely that female do meet.
Speaker 4: Babies are made at some bars, not all bars, I
Speaker 4: should point out in the pursuit of equality. Israel has
Speaker 4: reported to death of some hostages during the seasfire that's
Speaker 4: going on after that fifteen month long war between Hamas
Speaker 4: and Israel.
Speaker 2: They say that eight of those hostages.
Speaker 4: Have died and dozens remain in captivity still. So I
Speaker 4: don't know what this means for that situation over there
Speaker 4: was this expected bill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they knew there were a group of dead Israelis.
Speaker 1: We don't know about Americans if they're still around. There's
Speaker 1: still three or four Americans left. But one of the
Speaker 1: things that Hamas, as gracious and wonderful as it is,
Speaker 1: not only took live hostages, but also dragged back bodies
Speaker 1: of Israelis that they had killed and or they kept
Speaker 1: the bodies of Israelis that they executed while they were
Speaker 1: in captivity. And that's part of their negotiating. Will give
Speaker 1: you back bodies for the families to bury if you
Speaker 1: give us, in this case Palestinian prisoners, or get out
Speaker 1: of out of Gaza, or stop the war, all all
Speaker 1: the things that they want, including now human humanitarian aid.
Speaker 1: A lot of people think this is not going to last.
Speaker 1: This is not going to last because both sides. You
Speaker 1: got Hamas, which has declared victory. By the way, I
Speaker 1: thought they weren't they need to make that big a
Speaker 1: deal about it. But they have declared victory. They have
Speaker 1: won this war. Just look at Northern Gaza and they
Speaker 1: but they're intransigent. The Nittanyahu government is the most pro
Speaker 1: war government that Israel has ever had, and so it is.
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough, but you're going to see not
Speaker 1: a huge number, but a large number of the remaining hostages,
Speaker 1: about one hundred of them that are dead, and the
Speaker 1: bodies will be handed over.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 3: six forty.
Speaker 1: We continue with Handle on the news Michael Monkson for
Speaker 1: Amy neil Me.
Speaker 5: All Right, the Central Intelligence Agency has assessed that the
Speaker 5: COVID nineteen pandemic is more likely to have emerged from
Speaker 5: a lab than from nature. This came out on Saturday.
Speaker 5: The agency kind of didn't really land or come to
Speaker 5: a conclusion for a long time for the COVID nineteen
Speaker 5: and whether it was a result of a lab incident
Speaker 5: or not. But final weeks of the Biden administration for
Speaker 5: former CIA director William Burns asked CIA analysis to kind
Speaker 5: of and the scientist to make a clear determination.
Speaker 2: So they did. But it's they say it's with low confidence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's analysis by the CIA. Whenever they bring up intelligence,
Speaker 1: it's confidence level low confidence, medium confidence. When Osama bin
Speaker 1: Laden was killed, and Leon Panetta, who was Chief of Staff,
Speaker 1: brought forward to the president the choice do we do
Speaker 1: we go after bin Laden or not? Uh? The C
Speaker 1: I I. The CIA produces its intelligence and they had
Speaker 1: with high confidence that Obama was there, UHC, that Osama
Speaker 1: bin Laden was there about his ford Pakistan. So it's
Speaker 1: that's how they do it. It's not there, it is there,
Speaker 1: it's going its levels of confidence. So this is low
Speaker 1: levels of confidence, which what the hell does that mean?
Speaker 5: It's well, it means that they if they had a
Speaker 5: gun to the head, that's what they're leaning towards it.
Speaker 1: Say maybe who knows, I don't know, but yeah, if
Speaker 1: I had to guess, I'll go here instead of there.
Speaker 4: There's been an interesting shift in Republican and conservative politics
Speaker 4: because we just noted a story a few moments ago
Speaker 4: about trans military service people, and I think that any
Speaker 4: type of Republican backlash against LGBT, it's really primarily focused
Speaker 4: on the t these days. And perhaps that is evidence
Speaker 4: by another gay person serving in an administration of Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Scott Descent confirmed as Treasury Secretary, and he is the
Speaker 4: first openly gay person to serve as Treasury Secretary, and
Speaker 4: I think that makes him like fifth in line to
Speaker 4: the throne. So maybe the highest ranking open homost sexual
Speaker 4: in the history of the United States.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is no small cabinet position either. This
Speaker 1: is not the postmaster General. You know, he decides how
Speaker 1: much we're going to pay for stamps. This is about
Speaker 1: as high end as you can get. This is one
Speaker 1: of the four or five most important cabinet positions that
Speaker 1: you can have. And so you know, it's it's a
Speaker 1: mixed view of the Trump administration sort of way to sack.
Speaker 1: He's gay and that's okay, a trans is not. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating stuff. Oh another Trump star.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Oh, what are the odds?
Speaker 5: An Indiana man recently pardoned by President Trump for his
Speaker 5: role in the January sixth riot there at the US
Speaker 5: Capitol has been shot killed by a sheriff's deputy during
Speaker 5: routine traffic stuff, and it seems that an altercation took
Speaker 5: place between the suspect and the officer resulted in the
Speaker 5: officer finding his weapon, fatally wounding the suspect. Apparently, Matthew Huddle,
Speaker 5: while trying while he was being arrested, resisted and began
Speaker 5: struggling with the deputy. So this is probably going to
Speaker 5: spark some sort of conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, traffic stop and as he got out, he
Speaker 1: screamed at the cop, you can't arrest me. I've got immunity.
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do to me.
Speaker 5: He did have a weapon with him. It doesn't say
Speaker 5: whether he had it in hand or that he.
Speaker 1: Pulled it on anybody, but even having one in your
Speaker 1: hands when you're exiting a car, saying that's a problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm saying that it doesn't state whether.
Speaker 1: It's No, it doesn't in his hand, but I'm assuming
Speaker 1: it wasn't on the seat, and maybe it was. Who
Speaker 1: the hell knows, And we're going to see what the
Speaker 1: investigation is going to pan out.
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of conspiracy theories, I think we all know
Speaker 4: that it doesn't take much for some folks minds to
Speaker 4: head towards human trafficking. Think about Pizzagate back in the
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen presidential election, and there are suspicion that there's
Speaker 4: just human trafficking helping every happening everywhere.
Speaker 2: Maybe there is, I don't know, but there is a
Speaker 2: weird image.
Speaker 4: From right here in our area that has gone viral online.
Speaker 2: It shows this.
Speaker 4: It's the satellite image from above this plot of land
Speaker 4: that's owned by a railroad, and there are words etched
Speaker 4: into the dirt around there that spell help, TRAFFICO and
Speaker 4: LAPD and so folks are wondering what the heck is
Speaker 4: going on.
Speaker 2: You can see it from Google Maps. Have you seen it? Yeah?
Speaker 5: So I looked it up on Google Maps to see,
Speaker 5: if you know, to make sure it wasn't photoshop or anything.
Speaker 2: And it does show up, and it's still there.
Speaker 4: One of the local news choppers flew over it yesterday
Speaker 4: and it's still there.
Speaker 1: You're gonna find this story that the guy who spells
Speaker 1: traffico doesn't even speak English or doesn't even speak Spanish.
Speaker 2: Well, why spell you traffico and help?
Speaker 1: Why not see exactly the see that's the mystery here.
Speaker 2: It was really strange.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I reached out to Evan
Speaker 5: love It from la in a minute. I texted him
Speaker 5: this weekend, I said, you know about this, and he
Speaker 5: told me, hey, a lot of people are investigating it
Speaker 5: right now. It should come out. And sure enough it
Speaker 5: popped out, but it was this weekend. It kind of
Speaker 5: blew up and it was a fascinating story. But it
Speaker 5: looks like some maybe a homeless person breaks in there
Speaker 5: every now and again.
Speaker 2: As for the last year or so, well, that's what
Speaker 2: the railroad wants you to believe.
Speaker 1: Need remember the crop circles du dun dum, those were
Speaker 1: the best.
Speaker 2: Maybe we should get doctor Phil to go check it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to take a dip in like you
Speaker 1: all right, we are gonna take a break. We boy,
Speaker 1: we milk that one to death. The dumb story.
Speaker 3: On top of that, you're listening to Bill Handle on
Speaker 3: demand from kf I am six forty.
Speaker 1: We finish coffee. We finish Handle on the news, Michael
Speaker 1: Monks and for Amy Today Neil and Me. It's a bust.
Speaker 5: Federal authorities have arrested eight individuals in connection with a
Speaker 5: large scale smuggling operation that allegedly brought counterfeit into illegal
Speaker 5: goods from China Shana into the United States through the
Speaker 5: ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach dun dundum.
Speaker 1: Two million dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of counterfeit and dangerous goods.
Speaker 1: I mean, the level of counterfeiting that's coming in from
Speaker 1: China is just almost beyond comprehension. The stuff that's pouring in.
Speaker 4: Not to mention some of the infiltration of local governments allegedly.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I totally believe that. Not to mention that
Speaker 1: panted Express chicken isn't really chicken.
Speaker 2: Oh I hate that on Sunday.
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: See, I'm telling you it's all counterfeit. It's chicken. Oh,
Speaker 2: stand down wing that. Come on, Yeah, it was delicious.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're sponsoring us or not.
Speaker 1: But actually I have no idea. But actually it is good.
Speaker 1: I like pant Express. But how do I not make
Speaker 1: that joke?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we should steer away from that, actually, now that
Speaker 4: I think about it. Moving along, let's go back to
Speaker 4: the nineties and revisit the case of Jean Benet Ramsey,
Speaker 4: the pretty little pageant queen who was murdered by whom
Speaker 4: we still technically don't know. Now her father, John Ramsey
Speaker 4: is pushing for more DNA testing to be used to
Speaker 4: identify the killer. We're talking three decades of talking about
Speaker 4: this little girl, bill and.
Speaker 1: The conspiracy theories are still out there. People. A good
Speaker 1: number of people think that her dad, John Ramsey, still
Speaker 1: did the killing. He was cleared and a mom might
Speaker 1: have been a mother might have killed. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just she's goat.
Speaker 2: And then the older brother maybe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't know, they don't know. But it's the
Speaker 1: question is how do you have a kid found dead
Speaker 1: at your house in I think it was the basement.
Speaker 1: You're there, and somehow it happened without your knowledge. That
Speaker 1: has been a huge question for decades. Now she would
Speaker 1: be to Phil, she'd be thirty two, thirty three year
Speaker 1: old years old today.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, I want to feel old crazy all right.
Speaker 5: American Airlines employee working at Charlotte Douglas International Airport freak
Speaker 5: accident was struck in killed by one of those ramp.
Speaker 2: Vehicles well on the tarmac just yesterday.
Speaker 5: The airport says, obviously it's working closely with the airline
Speaker 5: and first responder partners and investigating this.
Speaker 2: But sounds like an accident.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds like someone just got run over by mistake.
Speaker 1: It's not like well as post on purpose, of course,
Speaker 1: but I mean it happens, you know, people get run over.
Speaker 1: And the story quotes the US Bureau Labor Statistics five
Speaker 1: debts like this in twenty twenty three, three in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. Well, it doesn't happen very often. Clearly, I'm
Speaker 1: the journalist in the room.
Speaker 4: I'm non partisan and just an observer of things, so
Speaker 4: I would never make a comment except to say, we're
Speaker 4: a weekend to President Trump's new administration, and Starbucks is
Speaker 4: offering free refills again, so make of that what you will.
Speaker 4: They're also bringing back their condiment bar I wish I
Speaker 4: am not familiar with, maybe because I live in a
Speaker 4: rough part of town where they wouldn't tare What was
Speaker 4: there like olives on there?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was, uh yeah, olives and salsa for your coffee.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I think it was the sugars.
Speaker 1: And then I figure, what, yeah, you can't. I went
Speaker 1: to Starbucks the other day and I don't like Starbucks coffee,
Speaker 1: but you happen to want some coffee, and it was one,
Speaker 1: you know, across the street next to me, around the corner,
Speaker 1: and right there, two of them on the street corners.
Speaker 1: So I went in there and uh, there were there
Speaker 1: was no sweetener, there were there was nothing on the counter.
Speaker 1: So I think they're bringing that back. Maybe it's because
Speaker 1: people would take handfuls of those things and take them home.
Speaker 2: Oh the homeless people that would hang out there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I assumed.
Speaker 4: Just like we just lost the Starbucks downtown and we've
Speaker 4: got them on every block, but one just closed because
Speaker 4: it's so you know, it's so difficult to operate in
Speaker 4: some around some members of our society.
Speaker 1: Thank you of you all right, one.
Speaker 5: More, Okay, Supreme Court won't review Mississippi's voting ban for felons,
Speaker 5: So they declined Monday to decide whether a permanent voting
Speaker 5: ban on people convicted of felonies in Mississippi.
Speaker 2: Is crue, cruel and unusual punishment.
Speaker 5: The Court back in twenty twenty three had also rejected
Speaker 5: a different challenge to the state's voting restriction that was
Speaker 5: based on the fact it was drafted in eighteen ninety
Speaker 5: as part of a so called racist effort to disenfranchise
Speaker 5: black voters.
Speaker 1: Now, this was strictly a constitutional question, nothing more, nothing less.
Speaker 1: States have the right to say felons do not vote,
Speaker 1: that's not a problem, and the Supreme Court certainly would
Speaker 1: give them the right to do that. This was a
Speaker 1: permanent voting ban on people convicted of felonies? Is it
Speaker 1: cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment?
Speaker 2: So if they get out, you mean or if they've
Speaker 2: served their time.
Speaker 1: If they've served their time, but they're felons and the
Speaker 1: court wouldn't hear it. Supreme Court, the Appeals Court said
Speaker 1: the state can do that. There's nothing unconstitutional about it.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Here's a really interesting sideline. The guy who killed Robin.
Speaker 1: It's Hak Rabin, the Israeli who assassinated who killed the
Speaker 1: prime minister. In Israel, you can vote no matter what.
Speaker 1: He voted in the election while he was in prison
Speaker 1: to replace in the general election. He ended up voting
Speaker 1: because in ISRAELI let you vote whether you're in prison
Speaker 1: or not. I just I don't know why I brought
Speaker 1: that up.
Speaker 2: It is Trump allowed to vote in his own election.
Speaker 1: He's a convicted felon. Do you know that's a very
Speaker 1: good question. Can Trump vote in Uh? Well, he was
Speaker 1: convicted New York, but his residency is Florida, So yeah,
Speaker 1: but that is that is a great question. I don't
Speaker 1: know if New York allows felons to vote. This is
Speaker 1: spectacular and that's worth looking up. Neil. Is one of
Speaker 1: the best questions I have heard in a very very
Speaker 1: long time. Can Trump vote in New York? Although it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because he's Florida. Okay, and he was not
Speaker 1: convicted in Florida. All right, guys, we are done. WHOA
Speaker 1: what a way to end it? Yeeha? All right? Coming up,
Speaker 1: there is video now of the start of the eaton Fire,
Speaker 1: or so they think, and is Southern California Edison involved.
Speaker 1: There's a world to that one. I'll cover that one
Speaker 1: when we come back. This is KFI AM sixty. You've
Speaker 1: been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my show
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, six am to nine am, and anytime
