  Speaker 2: It's already Tuesday, September 22.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: And good morning. That was an interesting commercial. from the
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: National Association of Funeral Directors. I had not heard that before.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: That was a very moving commercial. Did anybody pay attention
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: to that?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I heard a little bit. Yeah, I was.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I think they're pushing cremation a lot, because I know
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: that the funeral directors and National Association of Barbecue Restaurants
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: are joining together to.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: You get to pick your smoke. I'm really partial to
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: the pecan.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: But I'll take white post oak. That's fine.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Anyway, welcome back, Neil. Good morning. Good morning. All right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And Amy, good morning.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Hello, Bill.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't know you cried twice a week.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: That's what Ann says.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You're such a softie.
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: I am. And man, did you hear Irene's story? It
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: was just awesome. It was so cool. She's one of
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: the people who is benefiting from the Union Rescue Mission,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: which we were going over the edge for. And it
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: was just like so cool to see her in a
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: safe place after years of kind of being in denial
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: that part of this was her making bad choices. And
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: then finally reaching out, hitting bottom and getting the help
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: that she needed to get back on her feet. So
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: it's just cool.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a good organization. It really is.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And there isn't a lot of fluff and bureaucracy or
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: any accusation of mismanagement or anything. They're just, I know
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: they're just good people.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And, oh, and with the San Diego Padres, whatever that was.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go pot. Yeah, that's interesting. Will Kohlschreiber. Good morning, sir.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Good morning. And then we've got Mario in for Kono today. Hello, hello.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Good morning. All right. Everybody's here. Everybody's around.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, Amy, you're talking about you and Neil going over
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the hedge. And that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Is.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Well, a hedge wouldn't be a problem.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it's a hedge.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Anna would do it too.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And how close are you guys to the level
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you want to your goal?
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Well, we're getting there, but we're still quite a ways away.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: We need your help.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: We need your donations.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And what is it this year? The goal?
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: 30 grand.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: 30 grand. That's a lot. Yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Well, it's because we topped our goal last year and
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: they said, oh, let's raise it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: So I think I think it's and you can correct me, Amy,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: if I'm wrong, but I think it's like 87 cents
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: on the dollar goes straight to servicing and taking care
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: of these people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So they run a tight ship.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Yep, they do.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And they don't go and they don't market very much,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: because if you look at these charities that market on television,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: you know, those those the animals, for example, the SPCA.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Those poor animals that you see through cages that are skinny.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: By the way, those are actually rented. You know that
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: from Animal Air Loops? They're not rented.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can rent a forlorn-looking cow or forlorn-looking dog.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: You can actually do that. I'll tell you what's big.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Three-legged dogs are really in demand now. Anyway, so those
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: organizations spend a lot of money on marketing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: They're very tight.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: They really care, which sounds stupid, but we hear so
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: many horror stories about charities. They really care and they
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: really put it to the test by taking people off
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: the streets better than our government is doing.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, for sure.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And one of my favorite ones is for kids. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I have a hard time with kids not eating well.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Those kids are rented too, by the way.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: They're all actors. Oh, stop.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Well, and with the people at At Union Rescue Mission,
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: there's a whole area called Hope Gardens where it's just
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: for women and children and for elderly people, I think
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: single too, just to make sure that they are in
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: a safe place, especially because they've got children.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, don't you find it ironic that when you donate
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to one of these kids' organizations, you get a blanket?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Saying, you know, I'm a donor.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: And the blankets are made by slave kids in other
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: countries that now you're helping the kids.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's very ironic.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure that's not the way, like the MAGA
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: hats that are made in China.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty much, yes. All right, guys, I think
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: we're ready to fly. Oh, and Fran was at SoFi yesterday.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Good game with the.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awesome. It was a season home opener.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Very good game.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Rams considered, you know, I love to talk sports. I
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm a sports guy now.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: He's all about the sports ball.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I'm all about the sports ball. That's me. Sports words. Yep,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that's me. All right, guys. Get to the paint. We've
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: got plenty to talk about today. Get that W. It's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a Tuesday morning. It's a Taco Tuesday.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And that means we've got, oh, Mike Duboski coming in
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: at 8 o'clock. talking about some tech stuff, which is
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: always fun on Tuesday. Okay, let's do it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It's time for Handle on the News. Amy, Neil, and me,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: lead story. Wait a minute. Our weather is fine.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Nope, it's in anticipation of the El Nino-fueled storms.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I did that story yesterday.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: While hurricanes are basically non-existent during this hurricane season, There
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: is El Nino, which it looks like it's going to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: be some serious coastal flooding, high waves that we're going
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to see big time. And since those are so dangerous
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and so impactful, the governor is saying, OK, we are
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: going to anticipate them and proactively instead of reactively deal
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: with these.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Which is, you know, I can't stand when people bitch
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: about both. It's like the government doesn't do anything and
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: then the government does things too soon. I'm not a
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: fan of Governor Handsome, but you can't blame him for
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: wanting to be on the post on this.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: No, you can't. I hear people complain. I'm like, I'd
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: rather him, you know, be prepared and us not need
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it than the reverse.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Peace on Earth, not so much. If asked about the
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: state of the world ahead of the annual meeting of
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: the U.N. General Assembly, which is just getting underway, heads
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: of state and government and ministers alike apparently will describe
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: a globe in massive turmoil. World leaders will be gathering
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: at the United Nations in an era of deep uncertainty,
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: according to U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres. At the same time,
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: he says power is shifting, the world is changing, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: our institutions must change with it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: At 7.30, I'm going to cover that because there are
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: going to be speakers from, I think, 170 countries there,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: plus a bunch of ministers. This is going to go
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: on forever, or maybe everybody gets three seconds. Maybe they
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: get a shout out. Someone stands up and goes, yay, Ghana,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and then sits down. I don't know how.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's what you think. Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot of
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: people talking for a very long time. Mayor Bass, please
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: sit down.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and of course, President Trump has a lot to
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: do with the turmoil that's going on. Whether or not
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you agree with the policies, you can't disagree with the
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: fact that he has influenced the world roiling and its
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: ability to deal with the world.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, here's a fun story. Oh, this is really interesting.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: So we know that there's one thing everyone agrees on.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Trump loves TV. So here's a guy who was on
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: television before he was ever president and.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Took to it like a fish to water.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Well, with everything going on with the White House press pool,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: now you've got Maine, you know, main networks pulling out.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: They're saying, hey, you take one or you take none,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: and they're pulling out of the press pool. Less cameras
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: are showing up, less news agencies showing up. And how
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: is this going to go? Now, of course, president Trump says, uh,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: they say they're going to boycott me, uh, but they
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: never boycott me.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So I wasn't worried about that. Well, they did yesterday.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: And he keeps saying, look at all that press, but
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: this is not a guy who's rooted in reality.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Reality. Yeah. They did yesterday.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: If you, uh, of course, you know, the story about, uh,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the white house, Donald Trump, um, uh, imposing a ban
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: on CNN political, uh, and, uh, who else, uh, one
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of the other majors. And the press pool, there's one
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: on a rotating basis, one of the major networks is
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: in the White House briefing room or whenever the president
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: is there. And then that is shared with the other networks,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: that video. Well, since he threw out three of them.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: They all said, we're not part of it. So there
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: was a press conference yesterday. The majors weren't there. They
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: didn't cover what was happening at the helipad. This is
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the greatest helipad from the greatest president who ever was.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: And J.D.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Vance.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Now, this is Fox now. Fox News cut off J.D.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Vance halfway through his speech, went somewhere else.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: What was the speech about? Oh, I don't know.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Your normal pablum about how the administration is doing wonderful things.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: And, you know, they had the same crap you always hear.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: But I think that the president really, really misstepped on
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: this one. And, of course, lawsuits being filed like crazy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Immediately the lawsuits were filed. interference with First Amendment rights,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: unconstitutional activity by the president. I mean, the president's going
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: to lose on this one.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: There's no question.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: These are things you just can't support. I don't care
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: who you are. Well, no, that's not true that we can't.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: But remember, MAGA followers, if the president were to say,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make it illegal to to be employed
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: by CNN and it's prison time.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You know how many followers would say, that's right, that's right,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: because you're attacking the president? Now, too many.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: You're going to get a Democrat in office and if
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: you're paving the way for them to do the same thing,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: you're an idiot.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody else would do this and nobody else would do
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Because you've got to set the playing field. Now,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: you're going to go. Our guy's going to do it. No,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you can't because it's wrong. It's so out there. It
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: is so out there. I don't think so. You may
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: be right, but I don't think so. Let's take a break.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: We'll be back. More handle on the news coming up.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is a sad story. Two helicopter pilots died.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: while fighting a fire in Yosemite National Park just Sunday afternoon.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: So the pilots were conducting water drops over the dome fire.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: It burned more than 3,000 acres at the time. It
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: was ignited last week. And then the helicopter crashed around
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: 3 p.m. And this was the FAA that came out.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Trying to figure out what it is. I have a
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: question about the FAA and the NTSB particularly. And that
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: is whenever there's a crash, either even a train crash,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: but airline crashes for the most part, they immediately put
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: the NTSB team on it or a NTSB team on it, which,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: of course, we all rely on. And that's the appropriate
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: thing to do. How many teams are there? Because it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: crash after crash after crash. And they go, the NTSB
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: is now investigating it. And investigating it, they send people
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: out to the crash site. There must be thousands of
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: people that work for the NTSB.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: How many plane crashes do you think take place? Hundreds.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Hundreds a year. Hundreds a year because they're also talking
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: small planes. We're not just talking about major plane crashes,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: you know, the airlines, small planes going down.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: The NTSB is out there investigating. I was just curious
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: because there's so many of them. And the NTSB obviously
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: is a much, much needed organization. OK, just thought I'd
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: throw that out.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: But says no butts were grabbed. Mayor James Butts held
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: a news conference yesterday speaking publicly for the first time.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: against claims that he inappropriately touched a high school student
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: while posing for a group photo. He says the attacks
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: against him are driven by local activists and also tied
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: to a larger political battle between the city and operators
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: of its large entertainment venues. He also accused his rivals
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: of mounting a libelous and racist smear campaign.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Depicting him as a black man unable to control his impulses.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: So the whole hullabaloo is there's this group photo where
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: some cheerleaders said, hey, Mayor Butts, come take a picture
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: with us. And then somebody says that he groped one
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: of the cheerleaders.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: And now there's a huge, just a huge brouhaha that's roiling.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: It can't just be a politician accused of... grabbing someone's butt.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: And there's the investigation. No, it's because he's black, it
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: is racist, and there's all kinds of political overtones.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: It has to be that way.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: No, but the bigger the accusation, the more evidence you're
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: going to have to have, because otherwise you're going to
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: be taken down politician after politician.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Right, and that seems to be the case. This is one,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: it seems to be the case.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: This isn't Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein when there are
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: dozens and dozens. This is one gal who said she
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: was uncomfortable And that is it. Also, notice, don't you
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: find it ironic, as Amy, you pointed out, that Mayor
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Butts is accused of fondling the butt of someone. I
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: got grief from a woman on Handle on the Law.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: a few years ago saying, well, handle on the law.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Handle?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Whoa, isn't that a little sexist? How dare you use that?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I said, lady, what would you do if my name
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: was Fondle?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Then what? Handle on the law?
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: What about this show used to be called Handle Yourself
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: in the Morning?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: I'm glad we changed that.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know what? That's true. You know what? You're right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: That was a story as opposed to fondle yourself in
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the morning. That was it. Which, by the way, as
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I pointed out to her, that's a regular part of
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: our show.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: That's why we work from, we only see each other
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: from the desktop up.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: We don't see anybody from the down.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Although I do rock back and forth occasionally and you
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: want to know what the hell's going on.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's continue on.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: California sues a Christian group who says they can reverse
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: the abortion pill.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: So if you remember, you remember when they used to have.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: The groups, the Christian groups that would pray over you
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: if you were gay and like un-gay you? Well, this
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: is in that similar ilk where they say they. have
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: this abortion pill reversal. And Rob Bonta is going after them, saying,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: you know, the state is seeking $ 20 million in penalties
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: under California's false advertising and unfair competition laws. And they're
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: saying that there's no way to reverse a medication abortion
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: and that the treatment touted by this group is unproven
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: and potentially dangerous.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Now, here's a couple of interesting sidebar stories about this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: They are arguing, these groups are arguing, there's a legal
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: concept here. No one is actually being damaged by this.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: You take a pill, it does nothing, and you believe
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: it's going to do something. You're not suffering from some
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: kind of a malady in which there is some medical
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: procedure advice being given.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: But would it have to be a supplement or something?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: How would they get around it? Well, that's basically what
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is arguing basically fraud, duress, unfair
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: business practices.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: They say, we give it out for free. We give
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: it out for free. So how are we benefiting if
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you're talking about fraudulent advertising? We're not. We want a
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: First Amendment. We think this works. We tell people this works.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You want it for free. Go for it. And they're
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: saying that's First Amendment. It's going to be an interesting case.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: You'd have to have somebody that would argue.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I would have had an abortion, but I was told
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: that I could take this pill and that would, in fact,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: reverse the abortion.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: That would reverse the medication abortion.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: The the morning after pill. You take the morning after pill,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: which causes an abortion, a non-surgical abortion. And if you
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: take this after that, that reverses it. So it's an
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: interesting legal argument. We'll continue on with more interesting stories.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640. Wow.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: October is almost upon us. And the go to the stores.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I go to Costco. I went a couple of days ago.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: It's it's full board Halloween. I mean, they're not even pretending.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: And then they have those massive, huge characters that talk
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: and move around.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Those are called people, Bill. You need to get out more. Yeah, exactly.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, like 15 footers that move audio animatronic, which
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming when they first came out were thousands of dollars.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Neil, and you put those together. All the time, don't you? Yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Anne does as well.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Anne does a spectacular set up at her house.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Anne, I think I heard. And do you do those?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I don't build anything close to what Neil does. No, no,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: No, I get it. Nobody does what Neil does. I mean,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: he's science fiction. But do you do those characters that
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: move around?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: What do you have?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Just goblins and ghosts. Oh, you know what?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I have two little creepy girls holding teddy bears. Gosh,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I hope they're not listening.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Looking for their mommies.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And it's awesome. You know what I would do? Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the kids are creepy. The kids are so creepy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: When are they going to have one of these mannequins,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: these moving mannequins of Jeffrey Dahmer with an arm sticking
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: out of his mouth?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I think that would be terrific. Do you remember- Bill,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: it was decades ago. We were at the old station.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: It was during the time just after the OJ trial,
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: I think, and there was a haunted house down in
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: west covina or something where every floor was a different
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: real true crime scene and they had and the guy
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: playing oj was was a little person so he'd come
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: out of one of the he and they had the
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: full scene the front the the the gate and everything
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: it was creepy and i and i was sent out
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: there for the station i think maybe for john and
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: ken or something and went through them and they had
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: the um I think it was the LaBianca murders and
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: the Sharon.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Tate and all this stuff. It was it was really horrific.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Haunted houses are become such a huge deal. Every major
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: theme park. OK, moving on with more handle on the news.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Amy, we got the not so friendly skies. Hundreds of
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: flights were canceled. Thousands were delayed. At last count, it
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: was like 7000 affected flights because of damaged communication lines.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: At an air traffic control facility in Philadelphia, they had
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: to do a ground stoppage. Six major airports in the
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: Northeast were affected. And of course, that in turn affects
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: flights all over the country. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: that it will take some time to clear all the
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: existing delays despite the repairs. So it's been repaired.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it took about 13 hours to bring it back
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: to normal because it's a domino effect.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: What happened here.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: is that the primary connections, the primary communications connection between
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: air traffic controllers and ground controllers and planes in the
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: air failed.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: So they have a backup system of, I think it's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: fiber optics, a backup system.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: And a construction crew cut those in half, cut those
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: dealing with some kind of remodel or some kind of
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: construction on the roads.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: So it was a double hit. Congratulations. Big mazel tov
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Animals.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Animals.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: You know, Handel and I, during the break, we're talking
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: about his trip to your safari coming up. And, you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: when you think about that, the king, the one thing
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: you really want to see is lions. And then this story,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: 10 lions found dead and they suspect poisoning. This is
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: in Tanzania is the UNESCO listed conservation area.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: It's the Ngorongoro.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Ngorongoro?
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: Ngorongoro.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been there. It's a crater, isn't it? It's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: a huge crater.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: It's a huge crater where they have a population of
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: lions that's not found anywhere else where they live together.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Because normally like a pride is just the male and
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: then some younger males and the females. But this one,
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: because of their isolation, they all kind of live and
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: work together. It's really fascinating. And tragic that this happened.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're saying they ingested poison or something.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they don't know if it was purposeful and
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: they don't know at this point. But 10 were found
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: in Gorogora. A couple of things that I want to
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: point out before we take a break. Thing number one, Amy,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: did you notice the lions, the male lions? their balls
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: are as big as basketballs. Very, very impressive.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Okay. There's that coming. Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Just mention it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And also, you know, Lindsay and I are starting a
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: travel podcast just for fun. Because we travel and we're
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: nuts and it's just fun stuff. And so we're putting
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: a podcast up because everybody puts a podcast up.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Tell them the name of the podcast. It's Excessive Baggage.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Is the name of the podcast. And it's going up.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I think we already have something in. I just got
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: my satellite dish, the Starlink, yesterday. And we're going to
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: put everything up. And it's... It's going to be kind
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: of interesting. It's up on Instagram as well, under the
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: same name.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Do we have anything up there now? Yeah, I think
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: we do.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I saw you guys packing the other day.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, excessivebaggage.com.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: And or at Excessive Baggage on Instagram.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: And it's just going to be great fun.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: We're going to talk about the age difference. How does
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: an old man travel with a younger woman? And, you know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: she's in a wheelchair part of the time because she
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: can walk, but she can't walk long distances. So we
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: deal with staff and it's me screaming at staff and
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: yelling and even pointing out a lion's balls, which are enormous.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Talk about your excessive baggage. Yes. I mean, very impressive.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Did you notice that, Amy? Did you ever look at
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the gonads of lions?
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Well, they're there.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: No, they're huge.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: You know who else really likes to show off their junk?
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: It's the baboons.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Baboons are very strong.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: They're really exhibitionists.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: They do a lot of masturbating, a lot of masturbating
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: in public. I didn't see that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: There was just a lot of leg spreading.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Will, let's go to you for a moment in
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: talking about that. Really? Yeah, let's take a break, okay?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: We'll be back.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Bill Handel On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Let's finish up Handel on the News with Neil, Amy,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: and me.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Falling Out with the King, a new book, has been
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: published by the brother of the late Princess Diana, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: it's making waves with its allegations about Diana's ex-husband, who
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: just now happens to be King Charles III. In Swan Song, Diana,
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: My Sister, Charles Spencer says, claims that he argued with
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: then Prince Charles over palace plans for Prince William and
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Prince Harry to walk behind their mother's coffin during her
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: funeral procession back in 1997. Remember that? So memorable and iconic.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Spencer says he told Charles that Diana, who was killed
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: in the car crash, would not have wanted her boys
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: to undergo that ordeal. He claims the prince went ballistic
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: during that argument and told him, rest assured, we'll forget
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: her soon enough. He also accuses Charles of having contempt
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: for Diana and sounding elated after her death.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting that he decided to do this almost 30
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: years after the event. Yeah, how about that? And of course,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: it's nothing to do with pitching his book. And by
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: the way, I believe that Charles had contempt for Diana
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: because Charles, very well educated, Charles, very serious.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: And Diana was a free spirit.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Loved dancing, had no education to speak of, but that
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: wasn't her wheelhouse. And I think he was insanely jealous
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: of her because she got all of the attention where
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: normally the Prince of Wales would get the attention.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: So it's... Well, plus he was in love with somebody
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: else his whole life.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. For every minute he was in love with Camilla.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Every single minute. And he ended up.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Interesting choice. Yeah, it is. It's an interesting choice.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Well, Diana was an interesting and bad choice, and Charles
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: was basically pushed into that marriage. At that time, you
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: couldn't divorce a woman who had been married already. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: she was married for a period of time and then
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: divorced her husband to go with Charles.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: So who picked her? I don't understand. How'd she come
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: into the picture?
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I think the family pushed, you got to find a
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: virgin for one thing. And you have to find, that
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: was basically it. Someone who was appropriate, someone who was
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: a virgin. And she came from one of the most
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: well-known families out there, the Spencer family. And it was
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: a bad choice. Because this is Charles being pushed around
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: by his dad forever.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Forever.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Did you say Princess Diana was married before?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: No. Camilla was married before.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, Camilla.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was confusing for a second. It took me
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: a minute to follow along.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Now I got you.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, here's a story. Okay. So another animal story.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Why did Anne give you all the nasty animal stories today?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: This is so sad. I know, but I got to– yeah. Yeah,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I know. People need to know.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Authorities found more than 500 dead and living cats during
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: an animal cruelty investigation at the– Fur, F-U-R-G-E-T, Forget Me Not,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Cat Rescue in Pomona on Monday. So the Inland Valley
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Animals came together and partnered with this, with the Upland
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Animal Control. And they served search warrants, basically, and went
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: into the nonprofits facilities in L.A.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: County.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: And the search was performed following allegations that cats at
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: the rescue were kept in inhumane conditions. And if you
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: got a bunch of them dead, you can't get any
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: worse than that. And so during these searches, these investigators
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: discovered more than 500 living and deceased cats.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: And nine dogs. Too many of these stories, too many.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: And it's, yeah.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: The cats were found in a freezer in the garage.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: More dead cats were found buried in the backyard.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Usually I'd make some kind of a humorous comment here.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Please don't. Yeah, I know.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: First of all, I can't think of one. So give
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: me some time. We'll take a break and then I'll
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: figure something out.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe around 9.05 you can come up with something on
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: your own time. Yeah, maybe.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Why don't we finish it up, okay? We are done.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: And so something that we talked about before. Governor Newsom
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: is declaring a statewide emergency when there is no emergency. Well,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: at least not yet. And we'll deal with that coming
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: right up. This is KFI AM 640.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: You've been listening to The Bill Handel Show. Catch my
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: show Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and
