Yes, it is a Thursday morning, June twenty seven. And tonight is it?

Tonight? The CNN presidential debate And this is probably the most hotly contested, will be the most watched television debate among presidential candidates since Nixon Kennedy debates. It's gonna be good. Oh, here's a little quick factoid. Do you know who produced that debate for television? Nixon Kennedy debates in nineteen sixty or nineteen fifty nine? Actually that it was Don Hewitt who created sixty minutes. Oh wow. Yeah. Hewett was in his twenties when he was named

producer of the debates. He's the one that put it all together. Do you have a locker in your ass that you pull the kind of information out of for yeah? Yeah, and just nodded, went yeah, pretty much a trick. Yeah, just saying, okay, guys, right, good morning Neil, good morning, Willy Wolf, and good morning good morning. I'm going to start calling you wolf now too. You know I love it. Yeah. It was my best friend Saville, who he's the only one

that ever called me Willy Wolf because I am not a Willie. I am not a Bill. I am a William legally, but basically my parents was it for William Uh not a billy bob wolf. I'm not a wolf. I wish I had kept that name. Yeah, God, I wish I did. I mean, I still have it. It's William wolf handle. Yeah, but you know, you come to the United States with the name Wolf, but it's like you're you're born with the name Aristotle, and you

go, but can you call me Dave? Yeah, but it's I chose a name William, by the way, I know how many people choose their own names. So when we became naturalized, lot of were you a nerd? No? What made you pick William? I don't know, William tel cartoon or something. I don't remember. Something something out there, maybe because it w with wolf. I have no idea. I don't remember William Wolf I like it. Yeah, it's William wolf Handle. Yeah you should.

You should hear some of the names that your listeners give you. Yes, yeah, all with starting with a double the talk back. Yeah, every day, that's true. Amy, Goodmarny. Well, Hi Bill, and there's cono. Good morning, Good morning Bill. And I just want to say, I know it's not my show, but happy birthday to my mom. Oh that's sweet. And my kid's birthday today. Well, my daughters, my daughters are also they're twenty nine years old today. God, remember

you were around Neil when they were infants. I was around before they were born. Yeah, I was there at the conception. Well then since they were since they were born IVF, did I invite you into the bathroom to join me? Yeah? Did you actually see the dixie cup upon their conception? I was dressed like one of those guys leading the planes with the little flashlight over here to the left, to the right. My kids, because they were born IVF. As they were growing up and you know, g

Dad, where did we come from? You know kind of thing that kids ask. I have over the mantle at my house. I have this loose sight plexiglass sort of you know, obelisk if you will. You know how they give awards and inside is a Dixie cup, And I said, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that's where you came from. Yeah, and the girls put it down on all of their applications. So you were born

in Dixie. That's true. Standing yeah. Now, actually, when you do IVF, the women have a real rough time because the eggs have to be quote harvested, and that's what they are, and they do it via transvaginal aspiration. This is this is me going way back when when I actually made a living doing this stuff, not the actual medical procedure, and transvaginal

aspiration is a needle probably twelve inches long that go into the vagina. It goes into the vagina through the cervix and then punctures the the ovary and sucks out the fluid, the grenagular fluid, and then in there are the eggs and the women get super ovulated. Anyway, it is not fun for women. For guys, it's not so bad. Do not tell me that God is not a man when you undergo IVF and and go ahead, No, I'm curious about the process. You started that process when you were very young.

In any case, when I Uh was. It was one of the doctors I was working with, and it was time Marjorie is doing her thing. Uh in the O r U. Yeah, you know, basically sitting there and getting transvaginally aspirated. You just like saying that I do. It's this medical term and uh, I have to go in and basically the same time zone you frame. You have to go in, and you know the guys as a thing. And as I walk into the doctor's office, I knew the entire staff. Uh, they all lined up. You know.

Usually it's the homistery handle when you go to that door over there, and if you would please produce a specimen, we'd appreciate it. Everybody is lining up. I get handed a dixie cup. Hey Bill, you know where to go? Oh wow? And I looked at the nurse who handed me and said, you know, very nervously, I've been practicing for this moment since I've been twelve years old. Oh, that must have creeped the hell out of everybody. Oh, I've got some there's a book that I can

write on those that part of my practice. I mean an entire book. Honest to god. I'm fascinated that the even the needle emasculated you twelve inch needle going into your wife. Yeah, oh very well, said yeah do. And they used to do it laparoscopically before that. I mean it was a mess. It was a mess. So the technology, I've ye, it's just exploded and it's really good stuff. I just had a colonoscopy and

that thing sounds horrible. Uh well it actually uh yeah, you feel like you feel like yeah, afterwards, you feel like you've been kicked in the growing the lower stomach. Women do. It's just not easy, guys. All right, that was good. I'll try it again in a few hours. Not a problem. But we don't need it to get in a few hours. Well, I just want to make absolutely sure that everything is okay.

All right, why don't we do this? I just could picture you screaming your own name in the shut door and then everybody knocking, going, mister handle you can stop now, Yeah, well you don't. We have plenty when I in my younger days, when I went was single and actually was able to get laid. Okay, really, I always conflated my girlfriend's names. I was always scared to death that I would scream the wrong ones. So if I screamed my name. I would just be a jerk,

and it really helped ow. Yeah, all right, now we're going, all right, let's do it. Handle on the news with Amy and Neil and me. And what a start this morning. Huh came out with a bag, Happy birthday mom. A gift card would have been nicer. I think going on all right, lead story tonight is the CNN presidential debate probably the most It will probably be the most watched debate, certainly in terms of numbers, yes, but anticipated debate in terms of number of people in the

population watching since Kennedy Nixon. And Well, I'm going to talk more about that seven at seven o'clock. What we can expect and we know it. O Biden's going to say, it's that sort of a given because you know what debates are all about, not what Donald Trump. No one really knows which Donald Trump is going to be there, combinations. I don't think he knows which Donald Trump is going to be there, and that he's not sure

if he's asking which one should I be. So, I think that's the biggest thing is is are we going to see you know a more Tam? I think I think so. I think he's listening. I think he is listening to his advisors. Although you know, when you look at these rallies, most of these rallies are is him railing against the Department of Justice and the election was rigged. I mean, it's the same mantra that's for his base, and they're already is that's the point So to the I don't know,

because he he doesn't do that for political purposes. He genuinely believes that he has been ripped off. He genuinely leaves the Department of Justice has been weaponized and is going after him in a big way. So his advisor saying, leave that alone. Everybody knows your position. You do not have to doubt your position on that. One's talk about the issues. Talk about Biden, how old Biden is, or how he looks, and his position. Look at the border, look at inflation. That's what you have to talk

about. We'll see, Well, he will talk about that. But how much of the debate is going to be former President Trump rehashing, which he does every single speech, of what happened? All right, Well, the pressure to pull down that misinformation is protected. The Supreme Court throughout claims that

the Biden administration unlawfully pressured social media companies into removing contentious content. The court overturned an injunction that would have limited contacts between government officials and social media companies on different issues if it was a life to go into effect. Now, Bill, I have a question for you about this though, because the court found that the plaintiffs did not have standing right sue did not, so they

didn't really make a ruling. They did not make a rule. They send it down to the court, they send it down to the district court. And this was just standing. Now is it going to fly in terms of the way they're feeling about it? You know, I don't know. Does the government have the right to say to these social media companies you have to moderate, you have to get rid when you know this disinformation and we know

when there's disinformation. I mean, it's pretty blatant. If it's a wobbler, there's no way you're going to be able to stop it, because there are our First Amendment issues. But when it's not a wobbler, when you have crazy people out there politically, or let's say flat earthers, they're okay, no, no, you can't bring that out as fact. Which is what a lot of these social media companies do. It's not they produce it, it's they say that people produce it on our platform and we are not

going to or we don't have the right to stop it. Here's what the reality is. Cony Barrett Amy, Cony Barrett said, you know what, two things. Number one, they're already doing it. These media companies are already doing So you're suing effectively for something that's already been done. So the question is almost moot. And the issue is at this point, the people that argue they've been harmed have not They haven't been harmed. So that is

a standing issue. You must have standing. In other words, you have to you have to be harmed. So can somebody else bring the lawsuit? Then who does have standing? Yeah? Yeah, so this isn't necessarily over. No, No, it's not over at all. All right. The United Nations stands just a little bit less united. They have warned that the continued danger to aid workers there in Gaza is becoming increasingly intolerable, as Israel's ongoing military offensive in that part of the world, and that they say,

continues to block most humanitarian assistance. Yeah, this is crazy. Making. I mean, Israel is I think shooting itself in the foot, in the arm, in the head on this. I mean, I don't have a problem with Israel going after Hamas, as most people don't. But humanitarian age should be pouring into Gaza with the help of Israel, and that's not happening. And the hypocrisy of Natanyahu. Israel, Oh, we're helping, We're not stopping it. There are plenty of places to go in. We're allowing

Rafa, we're allowing that crossing. It's closed, shut down, closed, And so I think Israel is well, everybody is saying that Palestinians are on the verge of starving, and you know how many hundreds of thousands of children are pretty severely suffering from malnutrition. It's bad and I blame Israel for that.

Students, your days with phones are numbered. So New York is moving to ban cell phones a week after LA schools decided to ban cell phones in school and we're just also getting worded that the state California is working on banning cell phones in schools statewide. It's in the legislature, it's passed out of

committee, and so it moves on to the next step. Yeah, makes sense because those cell phones are really having a huge impact on students' attention span, to students' focus, student's ability to well do everything other than be in school and do school work they're on the phone. You'd think there'd be something like I've gone to special screenings where you couldn't bring a cell phone in and

they lock them up. You'd think that they would be able to walk into the classroom, put them in a special holder is what they do, and then the teacher locks them up and if there was an emergency that a button could be hit and they can all be access something they do. They have that system. The technology is there, and some schools do operate that. I don't know if any public schools do, but there are plenty of private

institutions that do that. So the US Supreme Court maybe inadvertently and briefly did a whoopsie when they uploaded what it was said to be a document about a ruling and a yet to be released high profile case. This has to do with the with Idaho's ban on abortions, and it appears that it indicated that the state would be required to allow emergency success for now. Yeah, there's

a story here. First of all, it's going to be released today or tomorrow anyway, probably maybe today ten o'clock Eastern, which is what seven o'clock coming up. It was, even with this insanely conservative court, I had a hard time believing that it would uphold Idaho state law that says no abortion unless the mother's life is at risk. She has to be dying before an abortion emergency abortion is allowed. The problem is what does that mean life at

risk? Does that mean right there at that moment. Does that mean that she continues on she has a chance of having a severe, severe illness, it blows up her reproductive system. For example, if she goes forward with an abortion that's going to be stillborn. Her life's not in danger. Now. If the medical doctor says this is a medical emergency, well someone's going to make that decision. And Idaho said there is no decision to make.

We're just not gonna let it happen. Supreme Court said you can't do that, and will say that because this because this decision released early. I mean these are draft to say they go after revision, after revision. Okay, I have a question for you though about this. Are they making a decision on this what's improvidently Granted, that's what they're saying, that the justices had

voted to dismiss the Idaho case as improvidently Granted. I have no idea me either, but I'm wondering if they're making a decision or if they're saying, we're not making a decision, so, yes, you can do the abortion. I think they're making a decision. Yes you can do the abortion. Yeah. I believe that the bill is not constitutional. We'll find out for

sure a little later. I yeah, Hey, Bill, So in this you refer to them as the incredibly conservative Supreme Court, but recently they upheld the gun decision when it comes to people with temporary restraining orders, which you

mentioned. And now this, at what point do we just say, Okay, they're being as fair, they're being fair, they're making fair decision because when you instead of always referring tovative, because they are, because they are, because for them to make any other decision, for example, saying someone who's in a restraining order for domestic violence still has the right to carry a

gun around, but it doesn't make them any less conservative. What it does is still insanely conservative and the decision is okay, this time around, under these circumstances, a rational decision was made. Under these limited circumstances. For example, a woman cannot have an abortion unless she is dying right there on the table. Okay, that's a little insane, don't you think. But they didn't. That wasn't you even agreed with their decision when it came to

abortion. You said, it's a state issue. No, no, no, no, no, it's not the Supreme Court. Well, it is a state issue now, But the Supreme Court held that a woman has a right to have an emergency abortion. Just saying that. Everybody refers to them as this conservative court. I know, and I know they are, but these are not necessarily typically conservative along lines, which means that maybe they're making decisions based on the Constitution. God forbid. No, it's it's with the

logic. What does the law actually mean? But it is. It is very, very conservative. The most conservative court we have had in many, many years. Just give me an example. During the War in court, William O. Douglas, who was the last Supreme Court justice that actually was nominated and got the the got the position. FDR nominated him, and there were a whole series of cases in the seventies on on pornography, right,

and which way did the court go? Douglas wouldn't even go. They had screenings, actually, they actually had screenings to show the justices what's pornography and what is pornography? And others wouldn't even go. He said, I don't care. You got First Amendment right, I don't even have to see it. I don't give a damn. You got the right to do it.

Leave me alone. And I remember Thirdgod Marshall, the first black justice of the US Supreme Court LBJ nominated him and he was actually lead counselor for Brown versus Board of Education, great civil rights have, first African American, great civil rights attorney and very liberal justice. When they had those porno films shown in the projection room at the Supreme Court, not only was he rushing to see those films, he wouldn't miss one of them. He almost ran to

see those films. See different kind of view. We got popcorns? Yeah, I know. Is that what made you want to be a lawyer? And I'm not even going to go in terms of the popcorn jokes, Okay, nothing to worry about here. The Department of Homeland Security has identified four hundred migrants migrants smuggled into the US that may have ties to ISIS. Isn't that lovely? Now? They don't know what kind of ties. They're being deported, They're not being arrested or accused of terrorism, just having ties.

I don't know what ties are. By the way, is it just going on the website? Is it conversing? Is it having chats? And I don't know. They don't tell us. I don't care. Okay, fine, And obviously the government doesn't care, and the government wants those out. How many of them have come in illegally and asked for asylum and I think that I think that's what happened with those four hundred. We should get an asylum and put them all there. Yeah, good point. You think a

civil libertarian or two would have a problem with that? Oh I don't care. Yeah, I forgot to say that. Yeah, horrible story, But a little more information on it. We heard about Titus Mark Winninger. He was actually eleven years old. It was reported that he was twelve years old. He's the boy that died at the Wild Rivers Park in Irvine. If you remember back on the twenty second, Well, it seems that he suffered a medical emergency. We didn't know what it was. It was a medical

emergency, not drowning or being ejected or anything. Well that's what we found out. If you remember, they were saying it had nothing to do with the why. But it was a rare congenital heart defect. And that happened before. Was it that basketball player what was his name, Ken Bias or the died of a heart attack, a young man right on the court. He died and Jim Fix remember the runner who was created jogging, I mean, was the guru of jogging. And he died at fifty two and he

had a heart attack right there. They didn't know he had a congenital heart issue. That's when I stopped jogging. Well, jogging will kill you every time. That's why I don't jog. Bad for you, So it's it unfortunately happens. And there's no John Ritter, right, No one knows he hadn't He had an aneurism and there was no way to tell because it was

behind his a order and it's just it just happens. Yeah, And unfortunately the kid and most of the time, if you read the story, it's out of the Orange County Register. It affects only one percent of the population, and usually with no consequences. You don't even know it. It's say, symptomatic, until it kills you. So this poor kid in the parents. Yeah, well, the death knoll will soon toll for the International Space

Station. Not tomorrow or anything, but a few years. NASA's going to pay SpaceX eight hundred and forty three million dollars to develop a vehicle that will help steer the International Space Station out of order or order out of orbit and basically to go back into the atmosphere and burn up for re entry at a place specific. Because usually when these satellites burn up, they know they're going

to burn up, they know the time they're going to burn up. They can't tell you within I don't know a million square miles where it's going to enter. Usually it's in the ocean, but sometimes it hits you know, people look around and there's a living room couch that just caught on fire because a piece went through the roof, or it takes someone's head off, which

is a little more problematic. Remember a long time ago, Space Lab was the big one that they were worried about where it was, and they thought it was in eastern or Western Australia, and they found that big chunk of it out in the bad lands of Western Australia. So this is going to steer it. So it lands probably in the Pacific Ocean, and it's not going to be for a few years. It's like in twenty thirty or something like that. And that's a big deal because it was going to be big

chunks of stuff left. As it enters the orbit, most of it burns up, but there's enough there that could do some harm. Could you squat if you could get up there, if you get a ride to space, Could you go on the space station and squat like they do in empty houses here? You know what? It probably I think you just say this is

my place. I don't know, because it depends on the rules. For example, if the part of that of the space station that is American, they would probably have to evict you legally, makes sense because of the rules of tenancy and the Russian part they would just then just shoot you. That's it. General Juan Jose Zaninga dismissed his commander of the Bolivian Army just days

earlier. He's a Bolivian general. He had been arrested now or he has been arrested now and accused of mounting a coup against the government after attempting to storm the presidential palace. And he did. You saw the troops lined up, you saw the armed personnel carrier bash through the front door. It was a coup and it didn't work, and so he was arrested. Hilarious, the the whatnot the dictator? I mean, the president said later that the coup was in fact, you know, it failed. And what Nigga said

was that the president in fact ordered the coup. That's his defense. I was just following orders. Let me get this right. The president ordered a coup to overturn his presidency. Don't have that right. That's not gonna be a good defense. And they handcuffed him. Yeah, that's kind of rough. Yeah, he's going to have a problem, not a very great. Well he told me to He's like, I told you to break down the

doors of my palace. Yes, keeping track of cars is really tough right now because there's been a massive week long outage of c d K Global And I said to myself, what is CDK Global? Well, it's software used to track what vehicles are on car lots. It does credit checks, it generates interest rates for auto loans, and complete sales contracts. And the system has been down and no big deal except the fact that thousands of car lots. This is the eight hundred pound gorilla. This is what all the car

dealerships use. So they've been shut down for what a week now? Amy? Is that right? Yeah, it's been a week, and they're saying that they're thinking that maybe they'll have them up and running by June thirtieth, which is Sunday. They've got a couple that they've kind of tested to get them back up and running again. But I guess buying a car is a

little more difficult this week. All right, after a year long battle, I'm happy to hear this, Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood home has been saved from destruction. So just yesterday the La City Council, in a unanimous decision voted or decision, but unanimously voted to designate the Spanish colonial style residence as a historic Cultural monument. So that's the only house I believe she owned. That's the house she died in. And they said the only the only thing was they

probably should have done this sixty years ago. Yeah, she paid, which is not good for the people that bought it. They bought it for eight point three five million and bought it with the plans to demolish the house. Yeah, so what do they do do they think, Katie. All they can do is probably got the inside and the house has to stay on the outside. They can't do much about it. I want to know what seventy

five thousand dollars is the equivalent of and would you look that up? Seventy five thousand dollars in nineteen sixty two, what is the equivalency today of that? Because I want to know what Marilyn Monroe paid for that house, or if today she had bought that house, what would she have paid for it? So bill of a historic landmark or whatever like that. They they don't buy it from the city, doesn't end up owning it. They just the owner keeps it. They just can't do anything. Yeah, you can't do

it. It's its historical monument. Thank you. You can't do Jack, You could do it to the inside, you said, Yeah, they can't control the inside. Sure, it'd be like the Brady Bunch House, Yeah, or the Anaheim White House. When the Anaheim Whitehouse went up in flames, Bruno had to bring it back because there was enough standing and it had been declared a historical landmark. They he had to rebuild it on the same footprint to look exactly like they did before. Now the inside he could do

whatever he wanted. Yeah, ninety sixty two seventy five thousand dollars in seven hundred and forty seven thousand dollars the equivalency. Oh, so it would be a tiny little house. Now, No, it's a how in Brentwood? I think No, I'd say if you bother Yeah, yeah, I mean this is in Brentwood and it's seven hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars. So to give you an idea of what these folks pay, that's eight point three five million dollars. And so we can go the other way. What is

eight five three point never mind? Okay, I think we're done, guys. Oh only the last story amy that multi vitamins will kill you. Yes, So the question is does one to day give you more days? The answer is no. The study from the National Institute of Health reports that multivitamins will not help extend your life. So that's the gist of it. Yeah, so here's a takeaway. And we've been doing study after study and reporting after reporting. Taking vitamins, eating healthy, exercising will kill you. I

don't look at him fixed. Yeah, there's a lot of stories that prove that. This morning, I will say this that now this doesn't this doesn't represent this study doesn't represent who have vitamin deficiencies and doctors have prescribed them. But I will say this. A doctor a long time ago told me that people at take vitamins have very expensive pe and that is it. Yeah. Well I was talking I was talking at this morning about my vitamins and the

vitamin intake. And she was talking about how when she used to work for doctor Dre. Uh it was what not doctor Dre, doctor Drue. Yeah, I know one or the other. I always get the too complated has the headphones. Yeah that's right. And she said that he said that you can get all your vitamins, which is true, he is doctor uh got. You can get your vitamins from food. And I said that's why I, uh, I get Costco burritos because I get all my vitamins. And

then we talked about vitamin D. Well, that's an easy one. You take a Costco burrito and you eat it out in the sunlight and you get all the vitamin D on your home free. Okay, we're done. I also want to point out something that I just noticed, and that is that Amy King giggles like Wilma Flintstone. Oh stop. Nobody else picked up on that, no, but now is the first time now that it's hit me. Okay, yeah, now you got my attention, all right, kf
