You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I am six forty. They have little little kiosky things in the store. Yeah, I know they're god awful, god awful. I am a god awful But that doesn't make them you're less god off. You're a dipping do I am not a dipping dot dipping do well. I don't go to a break at dipping do. Come and now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle, and good morning everybody. Thursday morning, July eighteenth. Yeah, here we
go, another hot day. Amy, when's this hot day stuff going to stop? It's not going to stop for a while. It's actually heating up because we have excessive heat watches in effect from tomorrow until Wednesday. So you go from insanely hot to particularly insanely hot, prohibitively punitively hot. Yeah, very special, all right, Good morning, Amy, Good morning, Bill, good morning, and the neil Meister, Good morning, Willie wolf Esquire.
Yes, I'm okay, I'm okay, And there is Ann good morning, Good morning, Bill, good morning, and then Nakono good morning. Hi. Hi. Tonight's the night, by the way, guys, when we are here seeing Donald Trump accept the nomination. Everybody anxiously awaiting. Now here's a question. Is he going to be brought in in one of those sedan chairs you know that carried by You've got four guys on each side with a pole like an attention queen. Yeah, yeah, sort of like you
know with really buff, gay bodybuilder types that are in loincloths. He should be brought in on a stretch because he's really hurt. Yeah, that's true. With his his ear, wouldn't it be? Do you remember young Frankenstein with Igor having the switched on either side or Igor hump on either side. Trump should do that with one ear one night, one ear the other night. It was it you that told me about the meme with Trump as van Go with his ear missing that bandage on ear, very very strong. You
know, a lot is lost. One that a you know, former president had an attempted assassination and then a man died who was witnessing this, and a lot of that gets lost. But I will tell you I have been very impressed by the amount of memes and the like that came out immediately. Wait till Joe Biden bails out because of effectively old age incapacitation, inability to have cognitive abilities ear going to see those memes explode death. Well, it
is interesting to see you. It's what we did where president get shot at and then show up to his things and then the other one effectively get a pretty bad cold. Ye, sit everything out. Well that's a little bit different. I think the biggest story of a former president this was exactly a former president, Teddy Roosevelt, when he was running for office in nineteen twelve at a campaign event, got shot in the chest, bullet entered his body. He finished the speech. I thought he got shot in the ass.
No, he did not get shot in the ass. You get shot in the ass. We get shot in the ass every day on this show. No, he got shot that what that is? Yeah he was and he just finished the speech. Well, I told you, I'm reading a biography of ted Teddy Roosevelt. It's insanity. I mean that what he just say, it's mind boggling. The kind of man he was. Mind boggling. And let's do a podcast. Let's do a podcast on being shot and talking. Let's do can we do a podcast? I like it? You know
what? And you know Ann produces my podcast also and she, uh, we were searching for stuff all the time. And that's I think that's a pretty good idea. Okay, and that's one politicians other people being shot at or shot then then still continued on and you know, great stories of people having their heads removed and still continuing on with whatever they were doing. Okay, you've had your head in places for years. Okay, thank you so
much. Okay, we started already, we have already started. Oh yesterday. How long have we had Jim keating on this show? Neil and I would say twenty years. I would say legitimately twenty years yesterday. And I haven't seen this happen. He laughed through an entire segment. It was unusually crude. Oh yeah, that's a given, I know. But still still it was very good. That was by the way, you could listen to that on demand, can't you. The Jim Kiney segment. Yeah, I
think we did that as sind Yeah, that's fun. And the podcast, by the way we're talking about is this morning at nine o'clock, the next episode drops and this has to do with it's the episode number two as to what happened this past week with the RNC and of course, the assassination attempt upon former President Trump. All right, guys, you're ready to do it. We've got some news to share with you today. It's time for a handle on the news. Amy King, Nil Sevadra and me lead story.
Oh okay, one more democrat and we're not talking about just a Democrat. Democrat talking about Adam Schiff, one of the premier Democrats in Congress, has told President Biden it is time to pass the torch as it will. And President Biden had to cancel an event in Las Vegas because he got COVID and he went back on Air Force One and as he walked up the steps, my god, this is one beyond just a man who has a cold.
I mean, he barely made it up the steps. That's an ad for former President Trump, for the Republican get one of those chairs that go up the stairs like they do in homes. Yeah. They could do that. Yeah, they could do that. Yeah, and he could just wave the
whole way up. Now. Did you know that the first Air Force one, it wasn't called Air Force one at the time, was a modified bomber during World War Two that Franklin Roosevelt used, and it had an elevator built in to the fusel, one of those small, almost like a residential style elevators that he rolls wheelchair and we go up. And the press never showed that. Well, a little factoid of history. I just wanted to share that with you. Okay. The podcast, Yeah, that's that's another one.
Oh Air Force one. That's a great podcast too. God. You know, people come up with these ideas, and I love ideas. There is an elevator on Air Force one, now, isn't there. I don't think so. I don't think there's an elevator. Well yeah, if you believe transformers, there is. Thank you, thank you, And this is where you get your news, correct, Ay, this is why you are an award winning newsperson. They called the toilet on Air Force one. Air Force two. Oh, very strong. Anyway, it's gonna be tough.
Adam Schiff has said that, the President has said, it's been it's being reported on c end. Adam Schiff has gone from Kamala can't win to do you think Kamala can win? In the sense that they're sort of already saying Kamala. That's the other thing that pisses me off is by the very virtue of her being the vice presidential candidate or the vice president. She is the one that is going to be nominated if Biden bails out. Anything to do
with qualifications, absolutely not. Anything to do with her likability, absolutely not. It's the air apparent crapola that modern politics has just tries to be nuts. Okay, let's just move on. We've got plenty more to talk about
on this one. Yeah. Continuing on the Biden thread, high level heart to heart, former House Speaker Pelosi privately told President Biden on the phone that polling showed, well maybe it wasn't not sure if it was on the phone, the polling shows he can't beat Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats' chances of winning the House in November if he continues to seek a second term. And apparently, apparently the President pushed back and said, Nope, you're looking
at the wrong polls. I can win. Yeah. Here's They've known each other for decades, and here's the issue. Nancy Pelosi is not some obscure congress person. This is Nancy Pelosi. And this reminds me of what happened during Watergate with Richard Nixon and resignation in his resignation. Nope, nope,
nope, nope. And it finally took Barry Goldwater, who had run for president nineteen sixty four, was the icon of the Conservative Party Republican and he went to had a private meeting with three other senators, two congressmen, I think two senators had a private meeting with Richard. Nixon said it's over. You're done. If you don't resign, there will be impeachment hearings and you will be removed by a trial in the Senate. And that's when that's when
Nixon finally got it. And I don't know where it's going to be for Biden where he gets if ever, by the way, he may not. He may just pull in his reins. He may just go you can go pound sand and he'll go to the very end. I mean that's possible too, if anybody it's him. He's that kind of a guy. But I'm going to see how many people of that ilk Adam Schiff way up there in terms of the political hierarchy in the Democratic Party, Nancy Pelosi way up there.
We'll see what he says. Kamala Harris says, absolutely not. While she's drooling when she meets him. Yeah, because she's the error a parent. Yeah, pretty much well, said Senator JD. Vance officially accepted as vice presidential nomination yesterday. The speech was okay. Vance during his acceptance speech, called on Americans to send Trump back to the White House, introduced himself a little bit, and he pledged to every American, no matter your party,
I will give everything I have. Yeah, but that's sort of standard. You know, everybody does that. You know, we all call for unity. Van's talked about. For example, look what a hero Donald Trump was. And by the way, I'm not disagreeing that he didn't handle it right, but he called as soon as he was shot, our former president called for unity. He's the guy that called for unity. Usually you don't connect the words unity and Donald Trump in one sentence. But it's I can't
wait for the speech tonight. I think it's going to be I don't think it's I don't think it's going to be traditional Donald Trump attacking because he doesn't have to. I think he may actually listen to his speech writers and advisors because if he goes on his normal attack, I don't think he's going to use the word crooked. Joe I don't think so. I may be wrong, but if I were his advisor, it's a lose lose. There's no way to win on this. What I tend to agree with you on this
one. Yeah. Now, he may not listen. He has a way of not listening to people around him. I mean, he's a pretty independent guy when it comes to advisors. Fresh out of prison, Peter Navarro hit the stage. The former Trump trade advisor spent four months in prison for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation. He left a prison in Miami yesterday morning and took a flight to Milwaukee and took the stage last night. Yep.
And of course was a hero because he went to prison. Now, he was nailed for a contempt of Congress because he wouldn't turn over documents, wouldn't testify, and he argued executive privilege, which doesn't exist in his case. He was an employee of the White House at the time. So he lost. And now it's all turned around. I mean everything is turned around. You know, we're going back to and I'm going to continue this line.
Loyalty is loyalty to Donald Trump, is loyalty to the Constitution. Anti Donald Trump, you are a trader to the Constitution. And that's the part that really troubles me. Policy wise. You know, I get it, he's a conservative in many ways. Actually it's not, but you know, I understand that, but just how it's all just spun around, that just drives me completely. Well, on the flip side, if you're black and don't vote for Joe Biden, you ain't black. That's true. So that's true.
No, that's absolutely true. I guess it's a I mean all of it. Yeah, not to the extent, and by the way, I have no problem with that. It's just that, you know, it's like comparing CNN to Fox. Okay, both are biased, there's no question about it. But it's George or Wells animal farm. All of us, all of us animals are equal except US pigs or we pigs are more equal. I think said US pigs are more equal. So we're all biased. But
Fox News is on a different level of bias. That's all. That's what I'm saying, not the news part, by the way, just to let you know, not the news part. I think they're not too bad, but certainly on the talk shows. You know, Laura, I saw a t shirt the other day that said make George Orwell fiction again. Funny, that is very funny. Yes, all right, special cancel. We talked
a little bit about this yesterday. It is it was expected. Special Counsel Jack Smith has formerly filled and filed rather an appeal against US District Judge A Lean Cannons ruling from Monday that dismissed for President tomil J. Trump's indictment in his classified documents case I'll be reinstated. I talked about that yesterday. Her decision was so out there, I mean so crazy that even Trump's supporters, his attorneys thought it was a ridiculous long shot Hail Mary. And she bought
it, she said yes. And what's the reason that she dismissed the case? Because the special counsel in this case, Jack Smith, is independent. He's an independent counsel. Therefore, since he has no supervision, he is a senior executive of the cabinet and has to be confirmed by the Senate, and he wasn't. And the funding of his office right to pay the phone
bills in his office. Congress has to okay that because of the funding clause, and Congress did not okay the payment of that phone bill or the installation of that copier. Therefore, the entire appointment of Jack Smith is unconstitutional. I mean, I tell you you've got people constitutional scholars that are scratching their heads and go, huh so, I guarantee you this will go the other way on appeal. Looks like the shooter was spotted way before the assassination attempt.
Officials say snipers spotted the guy who shot at President Trump or former President Trump on the roof of a building outside the security zone at the rally on Saturday in Pennsylvania at five point fifty two pm. The shooting happened at six twelve, twenty minutes later. You know, there's a lot of conversation. There's going to be a lot of scrutiny of the Secret Service. Boy, the Secret Service screwed the pooch on this one. I mean, this is
not good news for the Secret Service. Have you seen the memes about the Secret Service out there? Yeah? Those are insane. I think that's the greatest number of beams. And the funniest ones are of what happened in the kind of control and the kind of oversight and the job that the Secret Service didn't do. Yeah, it's a lot is coming out. And another thing that just came out that I saw today was video of the shooter like walking around looking up at the rooftops an hour before. Yeah, and he had
a range finder. Well that was what had come out before, is that he know, what do you do with a guy at a press at a presidential rally with a range finder even if he doesn't have right, even if he doesn't have a weapon. The Secret Service goes over and goes, excuse us, we'd like to see that range record. Well, no, we're taking it, take us to court. I mean, just crazy making and
certainly on the radar. So we're going to find this out. The head of the Secret Services, this is going to cost you her job, no question about it. And you're gonna see a lot of heads rolled, a lot of ears come off. You watch too soon. No it's not Oh no, it is not all right. In a whole other lifetime, I
used to work in the tattoo industry. This is a scary thought. Sealed bottles of tattoo and permanent makeup ink, which is basically tattoo ink, including some marked as sterile, contained millions of potentially dangerous bacteria according to new research by the US Food and Drug Administration. So you're looking at the possibility of sepsis and all kinds of tissue damage, organ failure, crazy crazy stuff if you are to have a reaction or anything like that to this ink. You
were a tattooer, I listen, I tatooed it is. I had a homemade machine originally that I built in prison style, and then I bought a real machine. But at that point I started moving out of that. A buddy of mine became who's now world renowned and very talented tattoo artists. He kind of took over and got great, but I still worked helping to develop a machine and doing marketing in the life. So you're both a tattooist and a tattee. Tattee. It's like a less sore and a less C two
ween. That's like a trustore trustee. People all over the country going to tattoo conventions and the like. And actually I have some that I'm drawing up new tattoos for me soon and that makes me pause. Aby, Yeah, so I was skipping ahead. Sorry, let me get back on track. A lot of people are looking for the Union label that's what I was going to say. Federal officials say they're seeing an upsurge in union organizing among US
workers in the private sector. Union election petitions have hit their highest level since twenty fifteen. More than twenty six hundred petitions have been filed so far this year, which already surpasses the total from the year before. I'm going to talk more about that at seven point fifty, because that's a thing. I mean, it is a big thing, especially in light of both parties going after the unions, going after the workers. And it's fascinating this spin of
it. That's seven to fifty, all right. At least three people across the United States are facing charges related to the deaths of young children. Of course, these children were left in hot cars because these people are stupid. Just scorching heat in the US. So you had a two month old in New Jersey, at two year old in Arizona, and a five year old in the Bradsca dying after being left in vehicles in the heat. And usually these people, these are not bad people. These are not people that abuse
their kids. Usually for the most part, they are just parents like you are, like I am, and just a moment of negligence, you quickly just run in the store, and you're there too long a time. You're stuck at the check the checkout stand, and you just sort of don't understand one hundred and ten degrees out of one hundred and five degrees with the windows closed. You know, ten minutes you're done, a child dies. Well, you know, the thing to me is you wouldn't do it, or
the pile of money. You wouldn't leave a pile of money in the car. But yeah, yeah, no. But my point is is someone could take the child too. It's not just that's the other thing. So what So here's the alternative is going to go there too. So what do you do in order to keep the child safe? You keep the motor running,
no can out with you. Well, of course you do. But I'm talking about these are moments of negligence where they have a lapse, and I mean it's lately, by the way, I'm not defending them at all. I'm just saying these are normally not abusive parents where this happens to that's all. So let's make a deal. The Supreme Court recently made a ruling that narrowed how the Justice Department can go after obstruction charges against the January sixth rioters.
So now federal prosecutors are starting to offer new plea deals that they've kind of reworked, or they're dropping a specific charge if it's restricted by the Supreme Court ruling. But they also say they're making it clear they plan to continue
holding the rioters accountable within the constraints. Now, this is what happens is this particular obstruction charge is usually usually deals with documents and the and there was a general charge of here just trying attempting to interfere or with the confirmation with accounting of the votes by Mike Pence, that in and of itself is interfering
with the progress of Congress normal business of Congress. And the court said that under that charge, which was intended to deal with documents, not what happened here, that provision or that charge cannot be cannot be forced. So they're still they're still liable and should be for what they did, just not under that charge all rightly. Rudy Giuliani seems to be living like a rockstar right now, draining roughly half of the money in his personal bank account in the
last week to pay for personal expenses. He's attending the Republican National Convention, and he is being hounded, of course by people whom he owes millions of dollars. But he's using what he has now to live his best life there at the and see, and he took that spill. You saw that yell at the convention. He fell at the convention. He took a spill in the seats and he was lifted up. Yeah, and all the hair coillar come out. That's what I'm thinking. He slipped on the die that was
on the floor. It was hot than that, It's very hot. That was the weirdest thing ever. Well, he's not going to have much left because now you've got particularly those two poll workers who have a judgment against them for one hundred million dollars something crazy? Are you drunk? Uh? You know, I don't know, I don't know. He certainly won't be able to afford any drinks after this, because they're going to go in and going to grab his last remaining assets. And those are his homes. I mean
they're expensive homes. Once in New York worth six million dollars. He has a nice size apartment and the other one is in West Palm Beach, which is worth in the millions too. Come out here and live off California, and he could be a homeless person living in California and spend the rest of his money sort of redoing the dumpster, bringing in a oh there's a field for you, a dumpster interior designer. This is a pretty sad ending.
The founder of Fandango, J. Michael Klein, is dead. He jumped from the twentieth floor of the Kimberly Hotel in Manhattan yesterday, landed in a third floor of third floor courtyard. How ironic because this is the second flyer he started Fandango And now look what happened. Let's move on, shall we? In a world where people can't fly, all right? Top Chef contestant Naomi Palmeroy. She's the author of the award winning Chef. She's an author,
award winning chef, and she was in Top Chef Masters. She died in this tragic accident in Oregon river. Yeah. Fluke acid. She was only forty nine. Yeah, and a real fluke. She got caught up under a paddle and some life vests that they put together and dragged under the water. Just really weird. I've floated the river that way before. Were you tying? You're go tubing and you tie yourselves together. Yeah, I mean it's not unusual. It's just the total fluke that she got caught up
and was pulled under the water, and then I ended up drowning. And I'm trying to figure out some connection with food that is completely horribly depraved. I can't think of something first time that I can't actually make a connection to something that will offend everybody. Well, we got another story you could try with this one. Okay, some dogs may get another shot at a happy home, because this one certainly wasn't it. Forty dogs were found inside a
hoarder's house in Thermal. About twenty of the dogs were already dead. Oh yeah, you don't make fun of that's that's horrific because you have these innocent, innocent creatures. Oh well, the good news is it twenty of them have been rescued and they're being cared for at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus, and a lot of them were locked up, and oh god, it's horrible.
Can you can you imagine just how insanely filthy and disgusting the smells and everything else these poor dogs were living in all right, forget your red baseball caps, your little mega caps. There's something. There's a new fashion trend in town. Republicans wearing homemade ear bandages on their right ear in solidarity with Trump. Are you going to go out and get yours? Willie? Well, you know some of them are eerily realistic. Okay, I didn't work either. Oh I get it. Oh now, okay, yeah, there
you are. Hey, it's Thursday. It's not even Friday. It's Thursday morning, and it's I guess, you know, a solidarity thing. It works, It works in terms of the visual and you know, you have the Maga hats, but this one is a direct connection to the president. Rolls around. They'll be selling chocolate rabbits with only one ear. That's just a weird thing to I saw some that were made out of like white tape that they put on it. Some used bandages. They could take a Bill's
suggestion and just slap a Maxi pat on their head. Wow, Well it wasn't me, it was Bill. Yeah. Sometimes I just don't he a fresh Hello. Yeah, I gotcha, Yeah, I know, I got it. All right, we are Wow, we've gone through all the stories. So now we have to spin. You know what I'm going to do. I Am going to pitch my podcast, vam vamp I will. I'm going to vamp. The podcast number four drops today on iHeartRadio app, the iHeart Radio App. I think we also got another platform. I don't know
what it is, but you go to the iHeartRadio app. My podcast, the Bill Handle Show podcast every Tuesday and Thursday right at nine o'clock when the show ends, and it's stories that I have done and I've expanded, or stories I haven't yet done that I expand or brand new stories, and I just get to vamp and I get to roll and dive into things a little deeper. A lot of history, a lot of analysis, a lot of fun. I have has been great. I don't even know. I don't
even know what the analytics are yet. I haven't even looked at him yet. Cry well no, but I mean, look at your social media. Look at yeah nothing. Yeah. One of them said, oh, I like the uh oh oh. I like the negative ones. You know what I should do is read some of the responses on social media. Those are the fun ones. I always enjoy those. Yeah, if you're going to respond, don't don't bother with this is great? You know I don't pay
attention to that. Now, if you can come up to if you can come up with something clever of how stupid I am, how horrible the podcast is, how in this particularly one I like this. I have listened to everyone, and I hate it and I'll never listen to it again until the next one. Those people I really enjoy. Okay, guys, we are completely done. Thank you for letting me pitch the podcast. You're welcome. Bill. Coming up, Biden's political crisis deepens one more Democrat, and I
don't know if Biden's going to survive this. I really don't. If he does, it's going to be in spite of a lot of people in the Democratic Party. Boy, has this thing turned around? How many people? How many people in the Republican Party? You think are calling up former President Trump and saying drop out? Exactly exactly. In the meantime, I've never seen this happen like this with a nominee being told don't go forward. So
I'll talk about that coming up on a Thursday morning. This is KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app you've been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch My Show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
