You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM six forty. And by the way, a huge number of people, as in Kono and Heather, reasonably bright people, maybe reasonably bright people who believe that aliens have visited us. You guys are nuts. These are people that can't get out of work on the fourth of July. Bill, that's true, and now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle, and good morning.
Everybody will handle here. It is a taco Tuesday, July second. And just in the aftermath of that mind boggling decision by the US Supreme Court yesterday, I'm gonna go through it a little bit more at seven o'clock. We're just starting to figure out what's going on the promo. As you know, where I made fun of Kono and Heather in terms of believing aliens are here, I left out one thing, and that is, can you imagine when you go to a jury trial you're in front of people who could not get
out of jury duty. That's how dumb they are. And if that is frightening beyond belief, that is now that is not a jury of your peers. Maybe it's a jury who lives under a peer who the hell knows. Okay, Hello to one and all. Neil morning, Good morning, Willie Wolf uh and and good morning, Good morning Bill, Heather, good morning. We shall not be heard today. Well anyways, he thank you, thank you for visiting Earth this morning. Okay, so glad to be here.
Yes and Cono, good morning, Bill. Yeah. We yesterday we talked about Martian Ano probes and Kno, how are you doing in that regard? Still a little sore. Good morning, Bille, okay, he hopes himself and writes notes to save time when they do visit. I'll tell you who really does believe in Martiinao propes. By the way, I'm not kidding.
I have heard George Norri talk many times about that, not him talking about it, but callers come in and you would be surprised how many prisoners describe Marchiino probes, marsh Martian is there, Sally, yes, An, there's Martian right next to me. Okay. Uh. In any case, Uh, let me see what's going on. We've got so much today.
Uh, it's kind of crazy, it really is. First as I don't listen to you opening the show, well because I'm because I'm preparing the show, and I'm reading Yeah, and the reason and what I'm asking is are because and I didn't pay attention to the weather this morning. So for the purposes of me understanding and knowing what's going on, what are we looking at this morning? Hot? Hot hot again, Yes, hot hot hot. It's going to be in the upper eighties metro La and o se upper seventies
at the beaches, triple digits out in the high deserts. I E all that stuff. Hot fit. I'm sorry, hold on a second, cono. We're going to get to drop in a second. Okay, how about the valleys where Burbank is, for example, very hot, it's going to be in the upper eighties, low nineties here, that's not bad, not bad. It's not triple it's not triple digits, thankfully hot, but not a it's not that hot. It's we have to do another drop cono. Moderately hot and not ash fitz. I guess, I guess you can just
take what he just said, Kono and there you go, buddy. Now, well you have to have a certain intonation that we'll put a reverb on it, all right, Moderately hot, but not a s Fitz. We have it. We'll do something with that. Yeah, play around with it. Hey, yeah, we'll play around me ask you as a question officially, really quick before we dive into handle on the news, I emailed Chris Little about this. We have a mandatory fire drill that's happening today. What
happens if it starts while we're on the air. Do we all just get up and leave if there is a fire? I mean a drill. No, no drill. You stay on the air. If there's an actual fire, management expects you to stay in the literally until you burn up like a spacecraft entering the Earth's atmosphere, and you are you are broadcasting until that moment, I had a feeling. I wasn't sure, but I said it was mandatory, and I was like, what am I going to do in the
middle. You're on the air now, if you're on, If you're on the air, you stay putting all right? Then I'm gonna shut the door. You shut the door and don't let anybody else in the trade pole try and hide. You know the podcast A Jay an old reporter one time Bill do you remember he was somewhere where there was a fire and he was re reporting live and something like his jacket caught fire something. He's like, I'm I'm Jay and I'm on fire. Yeah, now you have to admit reporting
that you are on fire is pretty interesting. There's a weather report for you in terms of the heat. All right, guys, let's do it. We've got a lot, a lot to cover today. We start handle on the news on this Taco Tuesday, July two with Heather Brooker, Nil Sevadra
and me lead story. Well, in terms of the ruling yesterday, I think not only is the ruling that came down, which I'm going to talk about, but Sodomayor, who is one of the liberal Justice had one of the most scathing descents and I completely agree with her because, as she said, and I'll talk more about this, this gives any president unlimited power. Truly, it became a king making statement. Not that it gives the president
power, but he can't be prosecuted if he takes power. And I'm talking about scenarios which heretofore were ridiculous, were hypotheticals ordering the assassination of arrival. Under this decision, probably a president could get away with it just arguing that it was national security, and under the Supreme Court decision, motives cannot even be brought up. Wait, how can you not have motives brought up? It because the court you're looking at whether it's official or non offense, No
motives are off the table. It doesn't matter why a president is doing what he does. Is it an official act? And is it official act? Is it a basic constitutional action that he's taking for example, armed services national security, which is his job. And so the argument is he just argues national security and he cannot be prosecuted. Do you think it is gonna kill uh Trump? No? I think I think Trump's could kill Biden because Biden
doesn't roll that way. This is a he's not gonna get in because that's true, But he can do it now. He could do it now. Biden could order the arrest of Donald Trump predicated on national security under this decision. He really could do it. Is it because the language here is just so broad that like it kind of leaves the door open for anything. And that's why all this speculation he could do this. He could, Oh,
absolutely. The problem The problem is that was speculation before. Now under the law, if he argues national security, anything to do with the Army with the FBI. Uh. And his argument is not that it is wrong or right, it is I'm doing this to further the constitution. For example, And I'll bring this up later. An election has had and Biden wins again. I don't know if that's true or not, because he probably won't.
But as president, Donald Trump can say that election was unconstitutional and stops the counting of the election in furthering the constitution. Orders Mike Pence or orders in this case we Ekamala Harris to stop counting and not certifying and ordering the arrest of Congress people because they are violating the Constitution by moving forward forward with an illegally elected president. He could actually do that, now would he? No
other president would dream of doing that. But we have Donald Trump who's already said he's going to arrest the January sixth Committee. He is going to prosecute them because they violated the Constitution by holding that hearing. Unfortunately, he has said that I think everybody's overlooking the here entertainment value. No, that's true. Having Congress people arrested and dragged, handcuffed and dragged out of the Capitol
Hill. Yeah, you're right. I was trying to explain this to my almost eighty year old mom, and she's like, does this mean Trump wins? That was her main question. Does he win? No in his cases? And is he going to go to jail? And so he'll never go to jail. I mean, he wouldn't go to jail even if he was convicted. But Anne didn't have this kind of amenity. But no, what this means Trump wins? Happened last Thursday at the debate. Oh yeah, all right. I don't know if they're going to ever be able to get
over that. I mean, there's some reasons. But well, I will talk about all this later. There's so much time, so much good stuff, so watch stuff, all right, all right. President Biden has issued a warning about the power of the presidency after that Supreme Court ruling yesterday. Or yeah, did I jump the gun? No? Oh, sorry, I at all. I was just just agreeing. Usually this is political babble,
This is not okay. Yeah, he's pretty heated. President Biden is pretty upset, and he had some pretty powerful words to say about the ruling. He it's basically been called a king maker. I know. It was trending a little bit yesterday on social media. That decision is yeah, and he's saying there's no kings in America. Each of us is equal. There is now, There is now. And I'll talk more about that at seven
o'clock when we talk about the Preme Court decision. By the way, there had to be a statement issued by President Biden because no one could actually understand what he said. He mumbled and kept on starting and stopped, but he sounded mad. He was he dead Trump? Okay, all right, this is tied into the song that Cono played. So hurricane barrel, barrel whatever
now potentially catastrophic category five storms set at sites on Jamaica. It left at least one person dead and inflicted all kinds of destruction across the entire islands in the Caribbean. Just yesterday, Yeah, Prime Minister of Jamaica said, in half an hour Kirasau was flattened, flattened, nothing left. They've never had a category five, category five go through this this early in the season.
Well we off, you know, when we were hearing about the warnings of climate change, when a lot of people thought that the climatologists were crazy and they didn't know what they were doing, and al Gore was being made fun of because of the documentary he did, and the argument or the statement was from the climatologists, we're going to get stronger hurricanes more often, and they're going to in the hurricane season is going to be longer, and no one
is disagreeing. Now, I'll tell you where the scientists were wrong. Is they way underestimated how long it was going to take. It happened a lot sooner than they had said. It's all bad news when it comes to weather. Bottom line of if you're taking a vacation in the Caribbean, you're either going to drown or we're going to be hit with flying debris and you'll be
impaled. Enjoy your vacation. Well, it's a good thing that aliens are regularly visiting us so they can prepare a new planet for us to go to. All right, moving on, I've lost all credibility now, all right. Israel has ordered some new evacuations in southern Gaza. They including the areas of Conunis and Rafa. Apparently they are forcing residents, many of whom are already displaced, to find new shelter. There's also the Gaza European Hospital there
the last standing hospital in the area is in the evacuation zone. Yeah. Those poor Palestinians we're talking about, those are not militants, men, women, children, innocent ones that are not only being killed in droves, but they become chess pieces that they're just being moved from place to place to place. It is brutal at that point, and it doesn't look like there's an endgame right now. No Netnyahu is saying the country's military is advancing, to
quote the end of the stage of eliminating a Moss's army. Yeah, all right, some boomerang decisions. The Supreme Court yesterday declined to settle the major constitutional questions raised in a dispute over laws approved in Texas and in Florida. These laws are intended to protect conservative viewpoints on social media. So these laws as they stand now remain blocked while lower courts continue to go, oh yeah, please send more our way, continue to sort out the constitutional questions there,
Yeah, and they have. The Court has not yet ruled on the fundamental case here is social media is that that have basically unlimited not power, but must publish virtually everything under a First Amendment right. As the conservatives want or are there limitations that can be can be prescribed to this? And we're talking about even the social media companies themselves. Are they allowed to edit people's thoughts on First Amendment? And this is all political? All political. Unfortunately,
everything is political now. And the power that the Conservatives have with this court, I mean this court, I mean stunned. Yesterday, I was kind of stunned because at first glanced the decision, Well, I can see the argument, but it was absolutely it was a Trump decision. There's no question about it. It was this is Trump. We'rey to give them as much power as possible. I totally believe that. Well, Donald, Yeah,
Donald Trump's team has taken advantage of that. It looks like they have already asked a New York judge who presided over hush money case to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing scheduled for next week. And of course they cited the new Supreme Court ruling in order to do that. Yeah, now he's going to argue that somehow paying off Stormy Daniels is an official act. I don't quite know how he's going to be able to pull that off,
but I will tell you that preceded his presidency for one. And isn't this no no a part. Yeah, it did precede his presidency, but during the course of it, there were parts of it that continued on the cover up for example, was during his presidency that went on. And it's uh, it's so wide open. Almost anything is an official act and he has complete immunity. What about grabbing their peas? Can he just grab any woman's Yes, yes, I think you can. National president, yes, as
national national security issue. I'll tell you why, because he and his well, he doesn't have to do motive because as a national security issue, him looking for and checking to see if someone has explosives or a terrorist on just grab him right there, to simply do a rudimentary exam to see if there are explosives. Yeah, in their prison wallet. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, it's it's completely insane. Anyway, he's not gonna win on that one. For him to argue that the payment to a porn star is
somehow national security, who the hell knows? You know, I have no idea, you know. Today it's so crazy. Traffic was shut down and a swat team was sent to Glendale just yesterday morning after a metro bus driver found a sleeping passenger with a gun. Of course, they got everyone off the bus. They even sent in one of those controversial robot dogs that are super duper cool and I want one for my own personal use. Communicated with
the passenger who had dozed off the firearms. Suspected firearm was in the belt or the waistband there turned out to be a bb gun. I never know. So the dog came in, grabbed the stick and started poking the guy to wake him up. I guess, well, it's a robot dog. Yeah, I understand. Bboll beboll bee bop. Imagine waking up to that. You're just sleeping on the bus. Yeah, it's your gun. With your gun, with your gun, with your gun, like you do all
right. Airbnb is continuing their anti party crackdown for the fourth of July weekend. They have an initiative to limit disruptive parties. They started it for a Memorial Day weekend. Looks like they're not going to be carrying it through for the fourth of July weekend. Three hundred million guest arrivals are expected this year for Airbnb. I believe that's overall. I don't think that's specifically for fourth of July. True, so well the humanity. Yeah, so Airbnb doesn't
want you to party in their houses. That's not well, they kind of, you know, party people kind of destroy the houses, and neighbors aren't particularly happy with it. And it's what do you carey and people, it's
a business. You throw a party, you charge people for it, and it's you do well, I assume and neighbors and Airbnb, the Airbnb folks, the company itself can't be very happy with this, so they're trying to say no. Yeah, and they've got a twenty four hour neighborhood support line which people can call if they think someone's having a party in the property. Yeah, that's called it's called calling the police. Yeah, nine one one,
Yeah, all right. California is gas tax is going up by two cents of course, yay, more taxes in California with our crappy roads increasing just sixty cents per gallon. So drivers filling up a twelve gallon tank, we'll spend about an extra quarter, which is no big deal, except if you do a quarter, then a quarter, then a quarter, than a quarter, and all of a sudden you're spending some real money, to the point where California we have by far the highest tax not by far usually or
Hawaii. US in Hawaii have a woman inn Island. No, And but this is pag This is paid to inflation. Usually taxes are not paid to inflation. So this is going to go up, up up every year. What a shocker. Okay, all right, thousands of homeowners with adjustable rate
mortgages are about to get slammed with higher monthly payments ARMS. They offer temporary relief for home buyers who want to avoid paying higher mortgage rates, but there is a risk that they come with they've remained elevated, adding fuel to one of the most unaffordable housing markets in decades. Yeah, this is a weird one because for years and years and years I've been telling people, whatever you do, do not buy an adjustable rate mortgage. Never ever ever buy an
ARM, even when they're great deals. By the way, the last few years they haven't been raad deals. They made no sense to buy an ARM to buy a mortgage, because what happens with a fixed mortgage, you know exactly what it's going to cost to you every month. With an adjustable rate, there's no way to ascertain. There's no way to forecast. You don't know where interest rates are going to go. And so now they're getting screwed,
and I mean getting screwed. For example, three percent money on an arm that you may have bought five years ago, all of a sudden, now adjust it's on whatever the market is. You've just virtually doubled your payments and you're gonna lose the house. People getting these types of I mean because they were cheaper, because they were cheaper initially they were just like, oh yeah, yeah, they're cheaper when interest rates used to be five percent.
For example, you can get an arm for three and a half four percent, but it adjusted it was a five year arm or a ten year arm, and those days, as soon as that runs out, you are screwed, beyond screwed. Fixed rate Well, now I don't think anybody's going to get an ARM, But so they're forced to sell the house because they can't afford the payments anymore. And then no one can afford too the house because they can't afford the mortgage payments, and there aren't enough houses to buy.
If you wanted a house that you couldn't afford, it is just it's this whole housing market is so skewed here in southern California, but across the country, but not nothing like here. Nothing like here. It is straight up gambling, period to do. Not if you have a fixed rate. Not if you have a fix rate. I say with an arm, Oh yeah, yeah, it's straight up gambling. I'd never understood why people would want
to do. Unless you're going to be in the house. Do you know it's only going to be five years and then you're moving, you're retiring. I mean, there are some reasons to get an arm, but if you're living in the house, you're crazy. If you plan on living in that house, you're completely crazy. Speaking of crazy, this guy is crazy.
Fast. Teenage sprinting sensation Quincy Wilson said to become the youngest ever US male track Olympian after this very very talented sixteen year old announced he had reportedly been picked in the four by four hundred meter relay roster for this year's Olympic Games there in Paris. Yeah, I mean his coach confirmed it, so, I mean it's yeah, it's happening sixteen years old. It's impressive. They're very impressive. Imagine like in over the next ten years, Like what he
can do. Is he going to get better? He's going to get only Is he going to get better? Yeah, that's so impressive. All right. We got a problem with street takeovers apparently in the downtown area, and the latest one happened yesterday at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Flower Street. Apparently. What's happening is everyone involved in these takeovers, they're vandalizing cars. They vandalize it. In this instance, they vandalized a metro bus with graffiti.
There's people still on the bus while it was happening. They're attempting break ins out of Starbucks on Ninth Street, so it's just a mess. It keeps happening. Yeah, but when you call the police and they show up in mass it's excessive police force. Let's not forget that. It's always too many police doing too many things. You can tell it with the side of
the street online. I was driving near my house. There is a stretch of road that people go fifty sixty eighty miles an hour, some one of those long stretches of roads not on the freeway, and I saw skid marks donut skid marks, and I mean it was clear that this was not only a street race, this was a car exhibition they were doing on the street. On those takeovers, by the way, had there any information as to
whether they were street racing or not or was it just a takeover? It just says it's a takeover and about one hundred vehicles and two hundred speculator spectators and the LPED apparently has a task force to address this issue, but no arrests have been made in any of the recent incidents. You got two hundred people. I don't know how they're going to arrest them. They're not. They're going to if they want to to stop it, they would take out
machine guys once and they probably wouldn't happen again. Acid dumped from the air. That it also works. I don't know, all these good use of biting citizens getting together and then all of a sudden, graffiti guys ruin it. And then when when law abiding citizens get together and all of a sudden they're taking over a neighborhood, law biting citizens who are smart get the hell out of there as quickly as possible. And it's not like we're talking about
like a dozen people. We're talking about a couple hundred. I know, I'm sure there had to be a part of it had to be street racing. Yeah, oh, I'm sure, or like you know, like you said, doing the donuts and the and the the tokyo drifting as they say, Oh, I don't know what tokyo drifting is. You don't know what tokyo drifting is. I do not know what tokyo. Have you seen any
of the Fasten the Furies movies? They were kind of made. No, I don't, Toto, this is where we can play whether I wouldn't exactly be proud of the fact that you're a Fast, Fast and Furious fan. Listen, I wouldn't say I'm a fan. I've just seen the movies, all right. I also, I haven't seen it. I used to work at Universal Studios as a tour guide, and so did I. No, yes, no, I was a tour guide at Universal Studio. Are you play nineteen? I swear I was a tour guide at Universal Studios? Stop
it? Oh yeah, yeah, we've got to talk about that. I know. That's why I know a lot about Fast and Furious because we had to talk about it. Yeah. Well, when I did it, Fast and furist didn't even exist when I did it. There wasn't all of these You go through the sound stages and you have pre recorded crap. It was a tour guide and a tram and three hours. Yes, what we have to talk about this bill. This is big news. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, And I was there when they actually still had sound
stage twenty eight the original sets a Phantom of the opera. Yeah, it's gone now, of course, just devastating. I'm talking about the original nineteen twenty six lawn Cheney, silent one. We got to take a break. Oh, head the heather. We are separated from birth. There you go, there you go. Let's check family. Let's talk right where she saw where Spartacus was filmed, right there on those steps, Heather. See, all right, because Ukraine has nothing else going on, it has foiled an
alleged plot to overthrow the government. It would have played into Russia's hands, says the security officials. Obviously there's a lot going on in that country as it stands, and they don't need a coup. Hello, yeah, no, I'm looking. Yeah, this is out of a can you hear me? I'm here, okay. Bridge newspaper and the Security Service saying that happened that we haven't gotten any more information other than a coup was attempted and what
was he in the planning stage? And then the first question is did Russia have anything to do with this? And there's no information about that. But that's the first. A handful of guys, like four guys that they know, you don't know how far that face ten years in prison if they're found guilty, guilty, they had weapons, they had ammunition. Yeah, no, it went beyond it was It was a serious planning, but we don't know how far it went beyond that. Four people trying to stage a coup
does not cut it. But how deep that goes I don't know. All right. A Dutch athlete convicted of raping a twelve year old girl will be competing in the Olympics. His name is Stephen van de Velde. I think I'm pronouncing that right. He was charged and convicted of rape against a child and he will be representing the Netherlands next month in the Olympics. A convict, a child molesting convict, is going to be at the Olympics. Now, if someone else has a cold and take sudafed, banned for life.
So this is disgusting. On I don't understand. I don't he admitted to raping a twelve year old girl and he's going to be what Netherlands what. I don't know what's going on. I mean, it could be just a whole set of rules that once you've been out X number of years and you've rehabilitated and effectively that falls from your record in certain cases, and the Olympic Committee follows. Well, no, that's not fair because the Olympic Committee usually
follows the law rules of the country. But you know Russia with the doping and all that. No, I don't get it. Twenty sixteen to four years and more, at least after one year of serving for raping a child a child. Yeah, he says that he met all qualification Crieter criteria for the Olympic Games. So right, I hope he loses and I hope he falls on his face. Yep, all right, one more and then we
are out of here. United States was eliminated from the Copa America with one zero loss to Uruguay on what they refer to as a questionable second half gold just yesterday. Okay, let's do one more because this one's really interesting. Heather, all right, you want to do a lot? Yeah, yeah, let's do this last. Okay, sting Ray got pregnant without a male companion and she's died. So you got asexual reproduction and it happens in various
species out there. Very interesting. You don't need a male to get involved where the female reproduces it, you don't, don't. Well, you know what. Unfortunately, I'm always testing out whether it happens in mammals or not, because I am trying to get pregnant many many times in my life, always trying can I get pregnant? Can I get pregnant? That is a horrible masturbation joke, I might. Okay, what a way to end the morning. Yes, good morning everyone at seven am is ruined. The sound
of everyone switching off their one handle clamping. Yeah, there's crickets. Crickets, crickets, crickets. A joke you used on the tour? Bill, Oh, I got fired, I got fired from the tour. Oh my gosh, this is this is scandalous. Let's dedicate. At least I got tossed. Now, I got tossed for saying some really bad stuff. How unusual. I have a lifetime of this. This isn't just what I do
on the morning show. This time someone gave him a mic and I got tossed out from the Boy Scouts. I got tossed out for my job at Universal. I've lost a bunch of jobs primarily because I mouthed off sassy with management. Huh I have well, no, just mouthing off. I wasn't sassy with management. I just had a big mouth. Uh. Spent a
lot of time in the vice principal's office in junior high school. Uh. The number one for me, the nightmare phrase for the rest of my life, I'll never forget his hand to assume the position, because that's when they used to do swatting. Oh, I thought you were talking about the boy Scouts. You were talking about school. Yeah, well no, that's with the scout leader. Yeah. No, it's you bend over and you get swatted, is what they used to call it in those days. Now it's
known that now, well, never mind, there's another joke there. I'm not you could get when I went to school. Yeah, I mean it's you know, corporal punishment. Yeah, I used to have that. Boy. Now a teacher tries that gets arrested and goes to prison for four years. Okay, kf I am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
