You're listening to KPI AM six forty, the Bill Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I got away with it because it's research for the show. If you google Bill Handle billhandle dot com, barnyard Love comes up immediately, so it would appear that I have this thing for cows and now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle. Oh yeah, good morning everybody. It is a Monday, July eighth, and I think it's summertime yet a little hot, and it's going to be hotter. And
California is burning, I mean the whole state. I mean, there's nothing left. It's going to be a cinder lots and lots going on. Let's start with hello to one and all Amy. I cannot see you on the screen, and I don't know why because I just joining our little group chatty thing. Oh okay, redhead, Uh real Newsy. We look at each other on screens now because everybody is in other rooms, and we've always done
that and sort of knew someone by voice. Amy's across the hall for example, from me, and never mind on purpose, by the way, yeah, on purpose. So let me say a quick helloa there you are Amy, Hey, welcome back, and welcome back. Amy was gone for a week. Missed you, Amy. And by the way, you know, I understand you're no Heather Brooker, but you're still pretty good and you're welcome and it's nice to have you back. Also, Michelle, Michelle Cube is
here because Anne is on vacation. Michelle, I am here, which is a mute your Yeah, old time for old time sake. Michelle is my producer for twenty five years, twenty six, twenty six years, but who's counting, and then became the executive producer of the entire station and occasionally, when needed, she comes back and fills in and gets to wake up at the middle of the crack of the night. That's right, Yeah, isn't
that fun old time sake? Yep? All right, Neil, good morning, Good morning, Willie Wolf, Yes, and Cono there you are. There is good way. Oh man, We've got so much to cover today. First of all, tomorrow, remember I've been telling you about the podcast that I've been working on for a while. Tomorrow the first podcast drops. The first episode drops, and it's at nine o'clock right after the show, but you can listen to it anytime that's the beauty of podcasts, and it
is a little bit different. I'm not stuck with the time situation, you know, with these segment times. We had to go to break none of that, and I can say things I can't say, and I dive a little deeper into topics. And the first two episodes it's Monday and Wednesday, excuse me, Tuesday and Thursday. We dropped the episodes or two a week. We're starting with that, and the first two are going to be How
I got here, the story of my grandparents, my parents. If you've heard the background before, it's really an extraordinary story of my grandparents and parents in World War two and the Holocaust. I mean it's and then how I came to America and all of that. It's kind of fun, well unless you were in the Holocaust, and it's not so much fun. Okay. So that is first and foremost, also a quick one, and this is
before we get to the news. Coming up this Sunday at the Anaheim White House, Neil and I will be there seven o'clock and it is a Bastile Day celelebration Day, Steel Day. It is a French version of their July fourth and Neil and I are going to be there and we're inviting you to join us. Of course you get to pay, it's eighty five dollars per head. But it is a French menu and of course the way Bruno cooks, and there's a celebrity French chef and just it should be a lot of
fun. It's all French. You can go to Anaheim white House dot com. Love to see you there. And what else he'll be French fries, French dressing. Yes. However, however, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what we are giving away. We are giving away an authentic World War two white surrender flag and that will be given away to one of the people that show up. Well, we're thinking of possibly a race whoever can run
the fastest backwards. Yeah. So, and by the way, for those of you that are French and you know you're offended by all the jokes we make about the French surrendering, it's absolutely true. That's exactly what happened. So it should be a lot of fun. The menu is up there, go to Anaheim white House dot com. Also July fourth, that was a lot of fun. I was at Lindsay's parents place and it's a gated community where everybody has a golf cart and they dress up the golf carts. July
fourth and there's a parade, a golf cart parade. It is a golf cart parade. They do it twice in a year on Yeah, yeah, that's on Instagram. It's a golf cart. Never heard anything more Caucasian in my life, that's all. Let me tell you. It was so Caucasian. You can see people that were lined up in front of their houses. And there was a woman behind me who was so obnoxious every time a golf
cart went past. And of course red, white and blue. You'll you'll see that on Instagram at Bill Handle Show and it's you can see how they dress up the golf carts. And so there's women behind me as the golf carts are passing screaming us A Trump, USA, Trump, USA. I mean, I was just so obnoxious. People are going, come on, really, this is you want to kick the politics out of it this time USA Trump. There was one Joe Biden cart, but it was broken down,
uh and the wheels were off flat. It kept going in circles. Yeah, oh poor Joe. Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that yeah, we we have a lot going on. We're a mess. I saw something the other day, a meme that said, don't bother me this weekend, I'm watching the season finale of America's I know it's a heartbreaker, although I tell you it's his fault. I said very early on saying this guy should not go a second term. He is the best candidate for Donald Trump.
You are starting to get more and more Democrats trying to make excuses, so many excuses for Biden. I think they will put Trump in the White House more than trump voters will put him in the White House. Oh, absolutely absolutely. Or if he decides what she's not going to because he is half delusional thinking that he's fine even as he babbles through, which is so unfortunate, as he is convinced that he is the guy to beat Trump.
So let's say he decides to drop out. The pressure is so great, and Kamala Harris becomes the candidate, not because she's good, not because the voters like her, not because she's gone through the battle of the primaries, so we know who she is simply by virtue of the fact she is a candidate. He chose her to be a candidate, and so look what we have. We've got Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump. Can you imagine anything worse than that? Boy? What choices we have? Or Donald Trump versus Joe
Biden. Joe Biden a great guy, heartfelt. I think he's way too liberal for my politics, but honest, just a basically good guy and not self aggrandizing. What makes him too liberal for you because I find out he's so pro he's so pro union, anti business. He initially, you know, when he first became president, he decided he was Emma Lazarus. Uh, send me your wretched, your poor, and you know that wide open. Yeah. Just I mean, on and on and on. I mean,
there's a taxation for the wealthy. Anybody who makes more than four dollars a year has to pay their fair share. I love that. Liberals always say, had you, anybody who has money, you have to pay your fair share? Not you have to support the economy, Not you. The top twenty percent are paying eighty percent of the taxes. No, none of that. It's fair share. I don't know what your fair share is. You have to pay my fair share? Yeah, yeah, you know,
what was it? Bernie Sanders was asked, what do you think wealthy people? What percentage of taxa should wealth wealthy people pay? And he goes, I don't know. I'll tell you when I see it. Like porn. Yeah, yeah, I don't know it, but I can explain it when I see it. I know it when I see it. And someone through out there, how about seventy percent? He goes, that's close. It's Bernie Sanders. Okay, Wow, we got a lot going on today, so let's do one story before we take a break, okay, and then
we will continue on and really get into a handle on the news. Lead story, all right, Seventy juveniles detained and cited Saturday night a mall in Carson basically all got together and started going nuts. The Sheriff's department comes in, calls for an unlawful assembly. They wouldn't, and they set off illegal fireworks inside the inside the store, started a fire inside of a trash can. This is in the mall, and they were arrested. Of course,
people were saying that's excessive, excessive force that was used. They were setting off fireworks inside. Not seventy people were setting off fireworks. There were only a few. And the argument is only those people should be arrested and all the rest of them my innocent child who was there. Then the argument is, hey, they called an illegal assembly and dispersed, and they did us several times. Well, the cops shouldn't get involved. It's typical all right,
deal or no deal. Federal prosecutors gave Boeing the choice last week of entering a guilty plea and paying a fine as part of its sentence, or facing a trial on the felony criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Boeing took the deal. They're going to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge stemming from the two crashes of the seven thirty seven Max jetliners that killed three hundred and forty six people. The government had determined the company violated an
agreement that had protected it from prosecution. Wouldn't that have been great if they said, do you want door number one, door number two or the one with the door blown out? Yeah, and this is no joke. They have to pay what is it? An addition to two hundred and forty three million dollars on top of the previous fine. That's you know, now we're talking some real money. By the way when a company pleads guilty, you know, the entire company goes to prison. Everybody no that it's kind of
hard and they only have two bunks. And yeah, so in any case, companies can be convicted. But obviously it's just a fine, or it's compliance or and or compliance issues. You must do ABC and D in addition to paying a fine, which is exactly what Boeing is agreeing to. All right, speaking of best deal day. Moving to France, the French left won the most seats in the high stake legislative elections just yesterday and they're really just beating back that far right surge, but did not win the majority.
So now you've got, as Handel would say, a well hung parliament political paralysis. Maybe right before the Olympics come in and say bones, you're welcome to Israel. They're going to have to put together a coalition government. What is good news is the far right did not win. It is one of the few countries in which the left actually gained seats, much like England. Same thing. Labor just slaughtered the Tories in England and so no one knows.
By the way, there hasn't been a coalition in France and decades, so no one really knows what's going on. They have they're gonna have to cobble together various parties. Is there going to be a pastry shortage? That's all I care about. Yeah, there is. I got my and a quick one. July fourteenth, Blu s the ol day, Neil and I will be at the Anaheim White House and joined Pascal old French. Yeah, is going to be very low anyway, go to the Anaheim white House dot
com just a quick plug there. When is that? Is that this Sunday? Yeah, coming up Sunday. And I know you didn't hear it, but Amy were not only are Neil and I are going, but we're giving away a and our thing World War two French surrender flag. Ah. Why isn't Amy going because she would have to pay? No, because she's going to be out in Anaheim, I bet. Anyways, Yeah, you want to come, Amy, Disneyland's same. You're invited? Oh okay, why not? You know Amy's invited? Michelle? Do you want to come?
You're invited? Cone Sugar and has their own booth over there at Chef Bruno loves Michelle. Yeah, and this is yeah, come on down. I mean you, all of you are invited and everybody else is invited, and there's only one difference, of course you don't. Oh yeah, yeah, you stay, you pay. Wow. It had so quickly become something not from something nice to you being a d about Yeah, Beryl has barreled into Texas. Hurricane Beryl made landfall this morning on the central Texas coastline. It
hit land between Galveston and Corpus Christy. Is a Category one storm with sustained winds of at least seventy four miles per hour. Expecting some flooding. There's tornado warnings. And then this is the part that I think is so interesting. I'm talking to ABC's Jim Ryan about this. A flood watch is in effect for all the way from Texas into Illinois. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. And Galveston, Texas is one of the areas in which it is going to hit. Very famous Hurricane Galveston, Texas. It's turn of
the last century. Four thousand people died because no, in those days, you didn't know that it was coming and they got hit straight on Galveston, Texas. So at least everybody knows and you know, they're putting up boards in front of their windows and sandbags and getting the hell out. So today, you know, yout thousands of people dying. And also the amount of rain. You know, one or two inches of rain used to be a lot of rain. Now in certain places here it's fifteen inches of rain.
Now when you talk about rain, it's by the foot, not by the inch. You know, it's crazy when we for three years ago, we bought a place, a little cabin up in Big Bear and we had friends that had lived up there for six seven years or something, and they're like, it never gets above eighty two here. It was like ninety seven this weekend in Big Bear. Yeah, weather is going at creze. Yeah.
My good friend Saville, who lives in Las Vegas, and I lived in Las Vegas for a few months, right, Yeah, that was great for all of us. Yeah, I know, it was a good show. One hundred and eighteen degrees in Las Vegas. I don't know if you've ever been in that kind of a weather, but just let me give you an idea. You step outside and it's either the Las Vegas heat or in a normal let's say normal weather period. You take a hair dryer, you put it on full blast, as hot as it will go, and your face
with it. That's the kind of heat it is. In Las Vegas, it's yeah, you know, you're right, it's like New York. No, no, no, no, it's not the way. It is a dry heat, Michelle. And so we're baking cookies at three hundred and fifty degrees. That's a dry heat too. The difference in New York is there the humidity from all the urine on the streets. Not anymore. In the metro stations too. It's worse now, that's true, and so here it's it was not, by the way, we had some insane weather, although
southern California it was. We were very lucky. But the rest of the state, well, you got the rest of state burning up and it's hot. But it's not a Schwitz. You go to New York, it's a it's heat plause. It's a Schwitz. You're shwimming in your shorts. And I'd like to thank my nephew for getting married at the end of July in New York. Oh are you going to be yes, it's going to be an outdoor wedding. Oh yes, oh god, no, damn Okay,
yeah, dressed, and I'll get you a fan. Yeah. I don't even bother showering, because you shower, you step outside and you're stepping into a shower. So it's a lot of fun. You know. The last thing we need to import or export from Los Angeles is our crime. Orange County will not have any of it. The three men that killed that New Zealand tourist in Newport Beach and that botched robbery there have been arrested, and one of them this would be his third strike because we don't put people away
in Los Angeles and just a horrible situation. We were blown away. If you didn't don't remember, it was at Fashion Island, I believe there. Yeah, Newport Beach is Fashion Island, and they tried to grab her purse or something. She ended up underneath the v vehicle they drove over her. Good Samaritans jumped in. I believe at least one of these wing nuts fired three shots at the Good Samaritans as they drove off, and they all need
to be put to death. And they're being charged with murder for a degree murder and death penalty special circumstances. The story. I also mentions paragraph two that McCrary, one of them, who was the third striker, hadn't served prison time for his previous felony convictions. I am assuming that those felony convictions were not violent crime. Still a felony, felony of a residential burger, Yeah, that's it. So they are criminal threats. And two, well,
I think that's a violent crime. So a lot of question violent crime. I think burglary is considered a violent I don't know if it is. I don't know if it is if no one is home getting I'm getting waved off by Kno, he's saying it's not. I don't think it is. If no one is home and he you know, he's done these things. I understand Cony knows. Anyway, it's now, this is Orange County.
This is Todd Spitzerland. Oh no. And Todd came out and he said lawless and violence will not be tolerated in our society, and by that he means in Orange County. Yeah, so let me tell you there's not going to be much of an issue of the prosecution in this one. The heat turned deadly in Death Valley. Temperatures hit one hundred and twenty eight degrees in Death Valley on Saturday. That's a record, and there were a there was
a group of motorcyclists who went riding in that heat. One of them died, another was taken to the hospital and the emergency medical helicopters couldn't get to them to help because it's not safe for them to fly when it's over one hundred twenty degrees. Oh yeah, still going to mess with everything. The era is too thin to support a a helicopter the rotors. So now here's
the question. From what I understand, I'm not a motorcycle rider, but I don't think motorcycles are air conditioned if I have it right, If you go fast enough, well it doesn't seem if you're talking about one hundred and twenty eight degrees, this sort of doesn't matter how fast you go. Death Valley World Record. The hottest place on Earth ever was Death Valley. That
was one hundred and thirty four degrees. That's pleasant. Well here's the thing, you know, and we all do stupid things, but when you go where are you're going to go? Ride in Death Valley? Why do they call it Death Valley because of the heat. How about a nice ride around the coast or something. Yeah, you would think so, you would think so, so you know why you would do There are people that hike through Death Valley. I just don't get it. I would drive through Death Valley
with air conditioning. Don't they have runs through Death Valley? Yeah? Yeah, it's I don't think they're in the middle of some though. But still, I mean that's kind of crazy. That's a Darwin Award winner, by the way, just to let you know when you die, that's not even finalist. You know, there are winners, and that's one of them.
All right. Biden joked about dark Brandon coming back while campaigning in Pennsylvania, and if you remember, this is a reference to the now famous meme of his lasers coming out of his eyes and everything like that, Like he's he's getting charged up now, and you know, I just feel like like you flicked it, old man in the forehead and he's like, oh now you've done it. Nah, you done it. You got me riled, Okay, hold me back. It's like it's not making it any better. I
know. It's a This is a tough one, and a lot of people think he is not coming back for this one. From this one tomorrow and Michelle came up with this idea. We're gonna do speeches that have changed campaigns, particularly the famous checker speech of Richard Nixon in the nineteen fifty two Eisenhower campaign. And it's really interesting. So tomorrow will do that, Michelle, Do you know what time you want to do that? Sure? What time? But it's okay the old you know, one speech can turn a campaign
around. Yeah, people are hoping for yeah, one sentence. They want to know his checkers speech. Yeah. More calls are coming from Biden's side of the aisle for him to call it quits. Several senior House Democrats were on a phone call with Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrey's yesterday afternoon apparently was supposed to be private, but well nothing's private, and it's got out. Mark Tocano from California, along with Representative Jerry Nadler from New York, Washington's Adam Smith
and New York's Joe Morell all say they want Biden to step aside. Yeah, and that's growing, that's growing. It is not going to happen. He will stay in the race because that's the kind of guy he is. Did you watch the interview with George yes, I did. I did. It wasn't bad. It wasn't Yeah, it wasn't particularly good. It just wasn't bad. I think he I think all only he had to prove that he was lucid and cogent and had cognitive abilities, which he did. He
said he had genital difficulties. I don't even know what that means. Well, he doesn't either, but he said it during the interview. Uh. Yeah, it's he's not coming back from that. It's just not gonna happen. But he's staying in the race. Which he's staying in the race, which means that if Trump listens to his advisors, all Trump has to do is stay mum. Uh, he does not have to come up with his wild accusations and wild facts that aren't facts. Hey, just relax, you
got the race, You have it. What was crazy? At one point, snuffle up A guess asked him or was talking to Biden, and Biden made some comment about bringing out some big crowds, and snuffle up a guess said, I don't know that you should be comparing crowds with Trump, because Trump brings crowds. Oh yeah, I mean that's you talk about Trump's supporters. I've never seen engagement like that in my life. The MAGA Republicans are
just insanely engaged. Well, like I spent over the weekend at this parade, sitting watching this parade in Orange County, a golf cart parade, and then the lady behind me screaming, USA, Trump, Trump, USA. Yeah. So radio host, and I'm gonna go with Andrea I don't know
her lawful Sanders. She has parted ways with w u r D after a Biden interview with preset questions, so apparently without the knowledge of the radio company WROD that she negotiated that she would get preset questions and she in journalism. This no, no, this isn't like a talk show host where you know, you could do whatever you wanted in that sense. But so she's part of the way. Now it says that she, you know, gave her
resignation. Yeah, just a quick inside baseball. Whenever an interview is done, it used to be more than now. You would get suggested questions from the pr people. They would say, here are some and if you were incredibly lazy, you would use those questions, which of course were puffball questions. I would never use them. Because they were thing but puffball questions to promote whoever it is, the author, the person who is running a company
or whatever. But I used to do that when I was interviewing. When I was interviewing the governor, you know, for example, Schwarzenegger, I got these questions. Here's some questions to ask the governor, and of course I ignored those. But I don't get why she lost her her job. And by the way, you don't share that with management. You to go here the questions and here's the interview. But I guess it was I guess she did. Why go ahead. I would think as a journalist it's different.
Yeah, I would think a journalists is different. Well, they're using the word host. I get it, but it's a there's some time because there was flack. A lot of people gave pushback. In another interviewer from a different station that was told that when they were going to do an interview with Biden it was non negotiable. It wasn't suggesting that's true. It's true, and that I think therein lies the problem. I've had politicians and we're
saying you have to ask these questions. I said, you're dreaming. I was going to just bring that up. In fact, you were supposed to interview Trump on KFI many years ago, and they wanted you to ask certain questions and you said, no, we don't take questions before him, and they said no. Same with Hillary Clinton. You were supposed to interview Hillary Clinton and they said, these are the questions you can ask her and you said absolutely none. Yeah, I'll ask whatever I want. But the problem
is do you get fired for doing those puffball questions? I guess in an interview with President Biden? I guess if you follow those questions, you get canned. All right, Well that's not unusual. What after a bad showing at the debate and people wanting to know, Yeah, no, I agree with you with you, but I had no I agree with you? But should she gets fire? Because that's done all the times? This is not an outlier story that doesn't say she got fired though she resigned. Yeah,
well that means she got fired. Okay, she's doing more things, wanting to spend more time with her family, that's correct, and they wish her good luck in her future endeavors. Okay, one more story, Amy, Oh yeah, it's like biodome on cheers. Remember biodome from cheers. There were these NASA volunteers who have just emerged from their simulated Mars environment. They spent twelve months inside this man made environment at the Johnson Space Center in Houston
to get ready for what life is going to be like on Mars. And they just came out yesterday that four people spent a year together. Yeah. Now when they came out, they all came out with lacerations from being stabbed by each other. Oh they didn't. Seventeen thousand square feet that's about four houses, right, it depends on the size of the house. Okay, for you, it's two houses. No, well, okay, let's just
move on. Okay, we are done. Wait one more for you, Bill, just because it's Costco. So I'm gonna steal one of enemies. And this is that Costco's rotisserie chicken that is normally served in that black and clear case thing will now be put into plastic bags like other retailers do, and all hell is gonna break. Yeah, people are losing their mind, losing their I agree, I agree, that is a Yeah, that's an iconic package. But they still five bucks, Still five bucks for a chicken
that weighs thirty four pounds and that is the biggest it is. It's fabulous chicken. Okay, we're done, guys.
