Speaker 1: You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty bill Handle Here. It is a
Speaker 2: Friday morning, June twenty seven.
Speaker 1: It's the Foody Friday.
Speaker 2: And coming up, since is Friday, we try to look
Speaker 2: for just fun topics or eight o'clock course. It's fun.
Speaker 2: It's also very educational with Foody Friday, Neil, and we
Speaker 2: talk about all kinds of food eight thirty. Nothing particularly educational,
Speaker 2: except you get to find out stuff about me that
Speaker 2: I normally don't talk about. It's ask handle anything or
Speaker 2: I just answer personal questions. And coming up at seven
Speaker 2: point thirty today, another one that's fun and hugely educational
Speaker 2: the issue of incontinence that here in America, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to talk about incontinence.
Speaker 1: Who what, Neil. I want to really share this one
Speaker 1: with you. Who what? And how you deal with it? Okay?
Speaker 3: Are are you saying negative things about my helvic floor?
Speaker 2: Sir? Yes, yes, I'm saying, well, not so much negative,
Speaker 2: because it's very common, very common, more so than.
Speaker 1: People think I'm doing keebles right now.
Speaker 2: Yes, you are all right, We're I'm going to get
Speaker 2: all into that at seven thirty now today, the Supreme
Speaker 2: Court is going to issue its final rulings, because today
Speaker 2: is the final day of the Supreme Court and the
Speaker 2: big one, and it's going to rule on a few things.
Speaker 2: First of all, there's two kinds of rulings today. They're
Speaker 2: going to be like automatic yes, no, the easy.
Speaker 1: Stuff, then some big ones.
Speaker 2: One of them, I think the biggest one, which I
Speaker 2: find them more most interesting, is the birthright citizenship. And
Speaker 2: that is President Trump's position that even if someone is
Speaker 2: born in the United States, that someone should not have
Speaker 2: a citizen the right to be a citizen if the
Speaker 2: parents are here illegally.
Speaker 1: Now, that is not unusual.
Speaker 2: There are many countries that do not give birthright citizenship
Speaker 2: even with parents being legal. For example, people that work
Speaker 2: in Kuwait, employees of various companies work in Kuwait, those
Speaker 2: kids who are born in Kuwait are not citizens.
Speaker 1: The same thing here in the United States.
Speaker 2: If a kid is born of diplomats, that's not a citizen.
Speaker 2: So how does the president get around the Fourteenth Amendment
Speaker 2: Section one? All persons born or naturalized the United States,
Speaker 2: that's me and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens
Speaker 2: of the United States and the state wherein they reside
Speaker 2: some language about, you know, the state shall make no
Speaker 2: law or enforce any law which.
Speaker 1: Somehow abridges that position.
Speaker 2: And here is it's so clear cut, isn't it. Well,
Speaker 2: here is what the argument is subject to the jurisdiction thereof,
Speaker 2: and the anti birthright citizenship people are arguing that illegal
Speaker 2: aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction because they are
Speaker 2: not here legally, which, by the way, let me take
Speaker 2: my vast legal knowledge, and having studied constitutional law in
Speaker 2: law school and having gone through the Fourteenth Amendment as
Speaker 2: one of our primary subjects. The conclusion among most legal experts,
Speaker 2: actually the legal word that's used to describe this position
Speaker 2: is it is a croc And I'm not going to
Speaker 2: finish the rest to that sentence, because everybody in the
Speaker 2: United States is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,
Speaker 2: which means Fifth Amendment, which means the right to shut up,
Speaker 2: which means the right to a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Everybody is.
Speaker 2: So this argument is going to be so ridiculous it
Speaker 2: makes no sense.
Speaker 1: So is the court's going to rule on birthright citizenship?
Speaker 1: Yes or no? No, it's not. Here's what the court does.
Speaker 2: They rule whenever they can technical issues, yes, amy Yan, and.
Speaker 1: That's what they did.
Speaker 4: We're getting word that the Supreme Court has handed down
Speaker 4: a decision on this. They didn't rule, as you just said,
Speaker 4: on whether Trump can ban birthright citizenship. They ruled that
Speaker 4: district judges have limits. And they're referring to the district
Speaker 4: judges who are issuing those nationwide injunctions.
Speaker 2: Right and right, And that is a legitimate question. How
Speaker 2: does a judge in Maryland, a district court judge, have
Speaker 2: the right to block a position across the country.
Speaker 1: And that's a very legitimate argument.
Speaker 2: And so it was a district judge that made a
Speaker 2: decision that birthrights citizenship is a constitutional Okay, well, no,
Speaker 2: that's an issue for the Appeals Court and then the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court. Because whatever an Appeals Court decision is made,
Speaker 2: it's only for that district.
Speaker 1: So you can have literally contradictory laws.
Speaker 2: You have the Ninth Circuit ruling one way, you have
Speaker 2: the Second Circuit ruling another way, and depending on where
Speaker 2: you live. Now, when you have competing districts, that goes
Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court virtually automatically. So this is what
Speaker 2: the Court does is whenever it can, it does not
Speaker 2: rule on.
Speaker 1: The big issue. It could have.
Speaker 2: It could have straight on said birthright citizenship is constitutional,
Speaker 2: an attack on it is unconstitutional. Or it could have
Speaker 2: gone the other way, that there is no birthright citizenship
Speaker 2: and all jurisdictions or subjects of the jurisdiction thereof, we're
Speaker 2: going to ignore. They did that with a second amendment
Speaker 2: with the militia language. Didn't even deal with it, just
Speaker 2: ignored it. They just went right into the right of
Speaker 2: Americans to bare arms. Shall not be a bridge. But
Speaker 2: wait a minute, there's a whole sentence in front of that.
Speaker 3: Yes, Neil, So would this be retroactive if they could?
Speaker 3: If they don't, and I don't believe they can, But
Speaker 3: if they could say that birthright you didn't, you.
Speaker 1: Sure could not. I think they can. Yeah, the court
Speaker 1: can say whatever the hell it wants that would affect me.
Speaker 2: Actually unless unless there is a constitutional amendment or Congress
Speaker 2: votes that it's retroactive.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Change.
Speaker 2: For example, Bill Clinton changed the IRS code and added
Speaker 2: taxes retroactively. Wait a minute, how do you do that? Well,
Speaker 2: that's what they did. The IRS made that decision and
Speaker 2: the Court allowed it. All right, let's continue with a story.
Speaker 1: I want to share with you about plastic waste.
Speaker 2: We generate a lot of plastic waste and it goes
Speaker 2: into landfills, goes to recycling. But the reality is recycling
Speaker 2: is not very much. It's a tiny percentage that is
Speaker 2: used in recycling products. There's more and more, but still
Speaker 2: it's a tiny percentage relative to the waste part of it.
Speaker 2: And so what we used to do is sell it
Speaker 2: to China. China would take our plastic waste. Matter of fact,
Speaker 2: China would take our old clothes. Was in a situation
Speaker 2: where it didn't have enough, it didn't have enough raw materials,
Speaker 2: and so they would take anything and then they would
Speaker 2: grab the trash, go through it, and then throw the
Speaker 2: trash into landfills or whatever. So twenty eighteen, China said,
Speaker 2: we're done with trash from you guys.
Speaker 1: Finished.
Speaker 2: So now where does the plastic go. Well, one of
Speaker 2: the rules, one of the policies, is we don't want
Speaker 2: it in the landfill. So we wanted out of here,
Speaker 2: and much of it was going overseas and it was
Speaker 2: going to Malaysia. Now, Malaysia is one of the countries
Speaker 2: that except the trash.
Speaker 1: Well, effective July one.
Speaker 2: It's coming up in a few days they scrap plastic
Speaker 2: market in Malaysia is done.
Speaker 1: It is no longer. We're no longer.
Speaker 2: Accepting it because we're in violation of the Basil Action.
Speaker 2: The Basil Action law that came into being. California shipped
Speaker 2: eight hundred and sixty four shipping containers ten million pounds
Speaker 2: of plastic waste to Malaysia. That's only second to Georgia.
Speaker 2: For some reason, Georgia beats it. So the Basil Convention
Speaker 2: is an international treaty designed to reduce the international movement
Speaker 2: of hazardous and other waste. The US never signed it
Speaker 2: because that's what we do, is we move hazardous waste
Speaker 2: all over the place.
Speaker 1: So who has not signed that convention? Fiji, Haiti, the
Speaker 1: United States.
Speaker 2: So what is going to happen? Well, we have to
Speaker 2: figure out where we're going to go with this. And
Speaker 2: here is the reality is that the recycling world is
Speaker 2: not really a world.
Speaker 1: It is more of a scam than anything else.
Speaker 2: If you look at the percentage of recycled plastics, if
Speaker 2: you look at what's actually used, it doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't.
Speaker 2: For example, did you know that some of the best
Speaker 2: insulation in walls is made of denim that's used in genes.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely its phenomenal insulation, probably better than anything else.
Speaker 1: So how many old genes.
Speaker 2: That are tossed are used to make insulation in the
Speaker 2: building world?
Speaker 1: You tell me. Most people don't even know it exists.
Speaker 1: And plastics are horrible because how long do they last?
Speaker 2: I don't know, millennia in the world of landfills, and
Speaker 2: so they do not decompose, they do not go into
Speaker 2: the atmosphere in like methane. They don't do any good
Speaker 2: at all except sully up the world. Although isn't it
Speaker 2: better to have plastics in landfill than it is in
Speaker 2: the ocean because of the microplastics. Yeah, so you know
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. No one takes it here. We're
Speaker 2: dealing with it. We have a ton of plastic left
Speaker 2: and we have to deal with it ourselves. It's a
Speaker 2: big deal for people in the recycling business. Oh. By
Speaker 2: the way, Amy and Neil, we were talking about Costco
Speaker 2: this morning and today I'm going to go and do
Speaker 2: a Costco run because I did one on Monday and
Speaker 2: now I'm going to go today.
Speaker 1: For breakfast, this morning, I had a chicken bake. Wow,
Speaker 1: look at you a Kirkland chicken.
Speaker 4: Baked chicken bake.
Speaker 1: A chicken bakes are great.
Speaker 2: It's uh it's a chicken and a little bit of
Speaker 2: bacon and a sort of a light Caesar dressing wrapped
Speaker 2: up and a crust a puff pastry.
Speaker 1: It's and then a super fancy hot pocket. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is really good.
Speaker 4: Don't you get those outside at the where you get the.
Speaker 2: You do that outside too, but they also, because of
Speaker 2: popular demand, they also sell them inside in a package,
Speaker 2: a frozen package, and I think there are eight per box.
Speaker 1: And that's what I had this morning for breakfast. There's
Speaker 1: nothing like it.
Speaker 4: I just go get some of those.
Speaker 1: You will really like them.
Speaker 4: They just made like one hundred thousand people really hungry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know they're They're very very good. I don't
Speaker 1: know why.
Speaker 2: I I don't know why cost doesn't advertise on this
Speaker 2: program or they don't advertise at all, and they don't
Speaker 2: have to because they have people like me. All right now,
Speaker 2: I want to do a story that I picked up
Speaker 2: for the New York Times, and it's an important story
Speaker 2: because a lot of you suffer from.
Speaker 1: This and it's about incontinence.
Speaker 2: And you'd be surprised how many people actually have incontinence,
Speaker 2: and they're not going to.
Speaker 1: Tell you because it's so embarrassing. There are several this
Speaker 1: different kind of incontinent SI.
Speaker 2: I guess one is called stress incontinence, coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping, pregnancy,
Speaker 2: oh man, laughing during pregnancy because of the pregnancy itself
Speaker 2: presses down on the bladder. Quick story, when Marjorie was
Speaker 2: pregnant with the kids, when she would laugh, it was
Speaker 2: very tough, and I would take her out to dinner
Speaker 2: and I would tell her jokes, and unfortunately.
Speaker 1: For her, she still thought I was funny.
Speaker 2: It was a mess, and I thought it was the
Speaker 2: funniest I just loved it, funniest.
Speaker 1: Thing in the world. As the pe was going down
Speaker 1: her leg. Hm.
Speaker 2: Another one is urge in continence, when you feel the
Speaker 2: urge and your bladder.
Speaker 1: Isn't even full. This is as a result of nerve injury.
Speaker 1: That is a little tougher to deal with. So a
Speaker 1: couple of things.
Speaker 2: If you have or know someone who has incontinence, and
Speaker 2: by the way, again it's so much caught common. One
Speaker 2: of the most common ways to cover it, or one
Speaker 2: common way to deal with it is google exercises either
Speaker 2: noodle coogel or potato cougle, which I happened to. Uh,
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of noodle kogel myself.
Speaker 3: Keegel, you don't actually put a Jewish sweet or savory
Speaker 3: dish in your crotch.
Speaker 1: Oh, I always get those two confused. You can also you.
Speaker 2: Could also you could also consider medication anti col jeric
Speaker 2: generic I have no idea blocks receptors.
Speaker 1: In the bladder to reduce contractions. That helps.
Speaker 2: And then they're the fun ones, which are considered quote
Speaker 2: minimally invasive procedures. Injecting bulking agents into the arethra and
Speaker 2: they got that from Aretha Franklin.
Speaker 1: Very few people know about that. That's where the name
Speaker 1: came from.
Speaker 2: And so can you imagine bulking agents into the arethra
Speaker 2: or surgically inserting a sling beneath it to help support it. Wow,
Speaker 2: Botox into the bladder, Ooh, that's fun. That stiffens the
Speaker 2: organ's muscles, neuro modulation, Surgically implanting a device that delivers
Speaker 2: electrical impulses. You think that would help you pee more,
Speaker 2: but it does help. So here are and this is
Speaker 2: by the way, legitimate, I mean as much fun as
Speaker 2: I'm having with this. So many people have this, that
Speaker 2: this article was written and they talked to doctors specialize
Speaker 2: in this. Identify public restrooms before forehead know where they are.
Speaker 2: There are, for example, bathroom locator apps. Wherever you go
Speaker 2: to public places. Traveling on a plane, up for.
Speaker 1: An aisle seat on a long ride.
Speaker 2: Consider bringing a portable toilet or one of those little devices.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what we do on long drive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have those trucker bags or whatever that solidify urine. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you can pee in them and then it just it
Speaker 3: it's no longer liquid. Oh I didn't know that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's got this stuff that absorbs liquid and then you
Speaker 3: can throw it away safely. And okay, it doesn't still
Speaker 3: all right, And I haven't gotten to the point where
Speaker 3: I need boat crotch, but I okay.
Speaker 2: And then the last, the last story I want to
Speaker 2: share with you, another Marjorie story is Marjorie is older
Speaker 2: than I am. Not a lot, but she is older
Speaker 2: than I am. And when I would do personal appearances,
Speaker 2: you remember Neil, Marjorie would come along and I would
Speaker 2: tell people, Uh, take when when you shake hands, take
Speaker 2: a look on the side and you'll see the depends lines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll see the little lines of depends. And people
Speaker 1: would do that.
Speaker 2: They would go up to Marjorie and sort of cock
Speaker 2: their head around and look, and Marjorie would sort of
Speaker 2: smile and say, I don't wear them.
Speaker 1: Bill is a jerk now in new long fitting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely true, all right.
Speaker 2: In another page of the insanity that's going on with
Speaker 2: this administration, the President has instructed the National Park Service
Speaker 2: to scrub any language that he would deem negative, unpatriotic,
Speaker 2: or smacking of improper partisan ideology.
Speaker 1: Wooh.
Speaker 2: And these are signs and presentations at the visitor centers.
Speaker 2: The administration is ordered the National Park and hundreds of
Speaker 2: other monuments and museums supervised by the Department of Interior,
Speaker 2: to ensure that all of their signage quoting by the way,
Speaker 2: all of their signage reminds Americans of our extraordinary heritage,
Speaker 2: consistent progress towards becoming a more perfect union, and unmatched
Speaker 2: record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human and human flourishing.
Speaker 2: And opponents and free speech advocates are spinning in disbelief.
Speaker 2: How are park employees supposed to put put a sunny
Speaker 2: spin on slavery, Jim Crow Laws, the fight for civil rights.
Speaker 1: How does that advance liberty? When we had Jim.
Speaker 2: Crow laws slavery, that's the advancement of liberty. Man's in
Speaker 2: our National Historical site. This is in California. It was
Speaker 2: the biggest of the camps, ten camps where one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty Japanese American civilians, the vast majority being citizens,
Speaker 2: were imprisoned.
Speaker 1: They were in internment camps during the early nineteen forties.
Speaker 2: There went up to sign this is part of the
Speaker 2: liberty of the United States. This is part of us
Speaker 2: advancing democratic values. Just as we put one hundred to
Speaker 2: two twenty thousand Japanese Americans into these camps. I mean,
Speaker 2: think about that. That was fdr by the way that
Speaker 2: wrote the order on those signs gets even better. It
Speaker 2: includes a ker code visitors can use to report any
Speaker 2: signs that are negative about either past or living Americans
Speaker 2: that failed to emphasize the beauty, grandeur in abundance of landscapes.
Speaker 1: That's also part of the provision.
Speaker 2: And I wouldn't argue at all that politics are part
Speaker 2: of this, because the Department is instructed to scrutinize signs
Speaker 2: put ups in January of twenty twenty, when Joe Biden
Speaker 2: became president. Only only those four years and beyond. And
Speaker 2: the argument is that this language that was put up
Speaker 2: perpetuates a false reconstruction of American history. What we didn't
Speaker 2: have slavery, we didn't have Jim Crow laws, we didn't
Speaker 2: put one hundred and twenty thousand Japanese Americans into internment camps.
Speaker 2: Figure that one out, man. I don't know about this, well,
Speaker 2: I do know it's crazy. The order directs federal employees
Speaker 2: and historians to rewrite the quote revisionist history that is
Speaker 2: now being used with language that exudes patriotism.
Speaker 1: We have to talk about patriotism.
Speaker 2: I guess putting one hundred and twenty thousand Japanese Americans
Speaker 2: civilians into internment camps as part of our patriotic move
Speaker 2: just a quick word historically, do you know how many
Speaker 2: cases of espionage were proven of one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: thousand Japanese Americans?
Speaker 1: Zero? Zero.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, Germans look up the German American Bund,
Speaker 2: which was a pro Nazi organization. They called themselves American Firsters,
Speaker 2: led by Charles Lindberg. By the way, that talked about
Speaker 2: not getting US involved in World War two, and the
Speaker 2: Germans that were part of that, that organization was riddled
Speaker 2: with spies that were spying for Nazi Germany. However, the
Speaker 2: rest of it, what happened on the West coast with
Speaker 2: the Japanese that's particularly offensive the Japanese, by the way.
Speaker 1: Is by the way, just a quick little bit of history.
Speaker 2: When DeLorean was arrested and tried, you remember that on
Speaker 2: the cocaine charge, and it was impossible for him to
Speaker 2: be acquitted, impossible because they had the FBI had him
Speaker 2: on video tape accepting cocaine, selling cocaine and getting hundreds
Speaker 2: of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1: And you know how he prevailed.
Speaker 2: He got the one judge in the system who as
Speaker 2: a kid was in one of those internment camps, Japanese
Speaker 2: judge who did not trust the government in anything the
Speaker 2: government said, and was a federal judge. All right, KF
Speaker 2: I am six point forty. You've been listening to the
Speaker 2: Bill Handle Show. Catch my show Monday through Friday six
Speaker 2: am to nine am, and anytime on demand on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app.
