• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to this, or about Michelle, if you've been listening to
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: this show for, oh, I don't know, 30 years. Michelle

  Speaker 3: was the producer of this show for 25 years.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: 26. 26 years.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: It's that last year that I kind of forgot.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Try to forget, man. See, there you go. 26 years. Wow, Michelle.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So you and I are one of the few people
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: that go that far back on this show, that's for sure.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's... Things have changed quite a bit in
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: terms of the world of radio. I mean, podcasting has
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: come in... Streaming has come in very different ways for
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: people to listen today. But the good news is that
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: nobody's listening to this show anymore. And the even better
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: news is I have a contract, so there is nothing
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: anybody can do about it. Congratulations, Bill.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: You betcha.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, so there's a hello to Michelle. Neil, hello to you.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Depressing way to start the show. It always is.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I love starting the show in a depressing way. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: keep it going that way. And then ending the show
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: in a depressing way, which is what makes my life
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: so happy.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: The Eeyore of talk radio, ladies and gentlemen. That's absolutely true. Oh, no.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Another day.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Another ratings book in which we're in the toilet. Oh, yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: All right. Kono, good morning. Good morning, Bill. Yeah, there
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Amy. Hi, Bill.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Hi, we're all here. And that's, am I missing anybody? Oh, Will.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I don't see him on the screen. Will, are you there?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I am here, but I'm just not there because I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: might have overslept a little. Oh, I wish. Okay. So
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you'll go on the screen.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: As I've said many times, our studios are in different
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: parts of the building. So we're all looking at each
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: other on a video screen. which actually is a better
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: way of doing it because I now can see everybody
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and you can all see everybody because certain parts of
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you can't see.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: And I've gone through that before. Okay. Fair enough.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: What else is going on before we start the show? Oh, Michelle,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you said the NFL season kicks off tonight.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Games tonight and tonight. Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Tonight it's the Seahawks versus the Patriots in Seattle. And
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: then tomorrow night is the Rams and the 49ers in Australia.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Go Niners.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So it's, yeah, when's the last time there was a
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Wednesday night game?
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: It's the first time.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And there's Thursday night, obviously, Monday, Thursday, Sunday.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: We're just going to have football every day.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: I think it's too much. I wish they'd go back
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: to just Sunday.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter how many games they had. You
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: remember when Monday.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Night football started?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And boy, that was, oh my God, who would ever
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: watch football on a Monday night?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Boy, that exploded. And then it became Thursday night. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: then there... dancing around and now it's, um, yeah. What
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: can I tell you?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And the NFL in deciding with the networks, uh, which
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: games are games of the week, which ones are going
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to air, uh, nationally, they have to figure out which
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: games do we choose to air nationally. And sometimes there
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: are real players. There are contenders. I should have been
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: a contender. And sometimes a couple of teams that mean
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: absolutely nothing in terms of the It's like flu vaccines.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: They have to guess which flu they're fighting. What?
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: How early before the game do our teams have to
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: go to Australia, places that far away with that massive
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: change in time and stuff to acclimate before they play
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: a game?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. They're not flying in the day
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of the game or something.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: The Rams are. The Rams are on their way now.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: They get in Thursday morning, you know, the time difference.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: They get in Thursday morning. The 49ers have been there
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: for a few days already.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: So the Rams are going to try to apparently stay
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: on West Coast time or something.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting concept in terms of all these international
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: games where the NFL is making a concerted effort to
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: internationalize football. Saying that, yeah, of course it's money, but
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: it's also becoming an international sport. Uh, and, uh, that is, uh,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I guess sort of to, uh, be on the same plane,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: if you will, uh, soccer, which of course will never happen.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Uh, but it's, uh, I guess there's more money.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Although I, once, uh, there was a fellow, I know
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: an expat, uh, who, uh, was in London, uh, at one,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: at one of the very first, uh, NFL games that were, uh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: played in London a few years ago. And I had asked, boy,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you have these Londoners that are going.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And he said, no, no, it's all Americans. that's it
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that's the people.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: That go to these things the stands are filled with
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: americans oh okay so is it working who the hell
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: knows all right uh let's get some news here i
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: got got the news stock pack here new stack and
• 5:55

  Speaker 2: Take your time. No, I will.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I will. Uh, Jim Keeney, uh, is showing up at
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: eight o'clock.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, and the weather.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Oh boy.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Isn't the weather been fun?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: It is double hot and triple schvitz.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It's like a New York August. It is the reason
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: why we left.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: It's it's the jungle.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever been in the middle
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: of the jungle, uh, in, uh, during the rainy season,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: because it's the same season all the way around, it
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: is this bad.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. This reminds me of all kinds of traveling places,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: but not here. Yeah, really crazy. Okay, guys, you ready
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to do it? Yep. Let's do it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Time for Handle on the News with Amy, Neil, me,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: lead story. Well, again, there's an orange plume that's above
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: City Hall, the whole neighborhood in La Habra. And we
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: don't know what caused it yet, do we?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: They have not said what company or what caused it,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: what kind of chemical it was, but it's since dissipated.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: It's gone now. It's still freaky to see a big
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: orange plume over City Hall.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's even scarier to see one over the White House. Hello?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: That's actually very funny. That's actually not bad at all
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: when you think about that, Neil.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, stop. Okay, that wasn't that good, Neil.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Get it in before your TDS kicks in today.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I kind of liked it. Okay, moving on. Orange Plume,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: big story, gone. Thank you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: It was over there anyways in La Habra, so who
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: cares unless you're in La Habra.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: The misery of the muggy weather. Yeah, we were just
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: mentioning it. Public health officials in L.A. County say they've
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: seen an increase in emergency room visits for heat-related illness
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: during heat waves over the summer months. The humidity, which
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: we're seeing, which we don't usually get, impedes the body's
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: ability to cool itself because the moist atmosphere doesn't allow
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: for sweat to evaporate as easily, causing you to continue
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: to get warmer. If humidity levels are lower, you're less
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: likely to succumb to heat-related illness.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the remnants of Hurricane Maria that came
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: up on the west side of Baja. And we're getting
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the bits and pieces of it. And man, it was horrible.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I generally walk in the morning. And by
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the way, for those of you that shower in the morning,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: don't bother because go ahead and shower.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Step outside. You need to shower again.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: That's the worst, that weird post-shower sweat you get on
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: a day.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And today's going to be, what, 99 in L.A.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it could hit 100 in Los Angeles proper.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fun.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: With 100% humidity or 95 or 110% humidity, it's going
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: to be horrible. We'll probably talk to Jim about that
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: later on at 8.30 because that's obviously huge medical news.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: A massive sinkhole at what looks like Nicolas Cage's Malibu mansion.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: But it caused a bit of a stir yesterday. You've
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: got them declaring a local state of emergency yesterday after
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: this massive sinkhole opened.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Up in the driveway of a home.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: And the thing is that not only does it threaten
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: that one area, but dozens of homes, cuts off access.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: If you see it, there's Michelle sent a photo over.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: It's massive.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: It's got this porta potty or something must have had
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: working going on then or now. And just everything has
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: caved in in that area, estimated to be 25 to
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: 30 feet deep, about 30 feet wide by 60 feet long.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: So and no confirmation, but they believe and said it
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: was Nicholas.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Cage's property. Well, of course it's going to be.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, let's wait for TMZ to come
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: out with a story because, of course, TMZ has more
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: credibility than the New York Times, the Washington Post, the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: LA Times, and every major network combined. So when TMZ says.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It, it is so.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: It's all Trump all the time in Dallas. I thought
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: you'd be excited about.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: That, Bill.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I am. You know what?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I've stopped being excited about it, to be honest. Just
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: come up with something, and no matter how ridiculous it is,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: it gets better.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: So it's a midterm convention, which has never been done before,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: but it's being held in Dallas tonight and tomorrow, or
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: today and tomorrow. And President Trump's going to be the
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: star of the show. He's the headliner both nights of
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: the two-night event. It's being billed as Trumpapalooza. And Trump
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: has said the problem that we have is that they
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: say Trump does great when he's on the ballot. But
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: when he's not on the ballot, his people don't come
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: and they don't vote. So what I really want you
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: to do is pretend, please, that I'm on the ballot.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you a question. All right.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: You'll hear the president tonight and tomorrow night stand up
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: there at the podium and talk about how prices are down,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: how oil is not at $ 100 a barrel, how inflation
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: is not affecting us, how the war in Iran has
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: already been won, and how many Republicans are going to
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: be standing on the chair, giving them a standing ovation,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: standing on their chairs, cheering at the top of their lungs.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: It's going to be very, very interesting. Boy, the Republicans
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: are scared to death of him. And how far can
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: they back him? Because do they say, yes, the president
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: is right. You're not paying more for gasoline. Or as
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: soon as the war is over, it's going to drop
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to under two dollars a gallon. OK, just what can
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I tell you? Michelle just sent me a story that
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know about the president. That right after 9-11,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: he said he was at the 9-11 site working with
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: firefighters and first responders just a few days afterwards and
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: was digging up bodies and helping the first responders.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: That's right. What? That's right, Mr. President. You certainly were.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Is that for real? For real.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: For real.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: For real.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: I don't think he said he was digging a body.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: No, not digging a body, but he said he was there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: He was bringing some builders down there. He said he
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: brought construction crews down. And that they had to carry
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: him out because things were unsafe.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: And then he said he never ran so fast in
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: a couple of interviews.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: So I threw in, you know, I hate when you
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: correct me. You know, when I exaggerate, don't do that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Just say you're absolutely right.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, Bill. Gas is now.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: $ 46 a gallon. That's absolutely true. And when I say
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: inflation is at 80%.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: A year, you go, that's right, Bill. It's at 80%.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: This story out of New York Times, by the way,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: that he was involved in going. Yeah, he was there
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: a couple of days after. He was a private citizen,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: by the way. I don't know how private citizens got
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: onto the site. He's a Trump man.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: He owned New York at the time. Yeah, that's true.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I think, was he building around there? But I think
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: he did have a construction project going on.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sure he did.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: He always had some kind of project.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And he was a Democrat back then, right? Not after, no.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: He was a Democrat, I think, in the 80s. They
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: would have let him ride in. Yes, of course they
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: would have. Or a Democrat. Moving on.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: So, as Bill has been champing about, oil crossed the
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: $ 100 a barrel threshold this morning after fresh rounds of
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: strikes there in the Middle East.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: You know how long it's been? It's been since July.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this war continues on.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: It's been about two months since we had that kind
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: of fight. Iran is saying, too bad, we're going for it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Now it's a game of chicken. Who is going to
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: win this one?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Bomb them, take the oil. Well, we're already doing that
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: with Venezuela. We'll rename Iran to Iran to America.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Though the word Trump has to be put in there,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: but you're right. That's another story of- Trumpville.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Trumpville, yes. Moving on.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: It was the beyond part, apparently, that he got stuck on.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: There was one juror, as we know- that blocked Lindsay
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Clancy from being acquitted. She's the mom who has admitted
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: to killing her three kids, but says that she did
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: it because she had postpartum psychosis. The lone juror insisted
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: that he wouldn't find her not guilty by reason of insanity,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: despite saying during deliberations that he did have reasonable doubt.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: So apparently some of the jurors are now speaking out.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: And the foreperson said she thought at one point the
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: group had persuaded that juror To vote for acquittal, she
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: says he admitted he had reasonable doubt. I started filling
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: out the forms. I was so excited. There were three
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: forms I had to fill out. I started filling them out.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I wrote my signature on each one. And then he said,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: but I'm still going to say she's not guilty by
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: reason of insanity.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Keep in mind, this is not guilty because of insanity.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: It's not an acquittal. It is one of the charges.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: And as the prosecution, and I don't understand what the
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: prosecution was doing, arguing first-degree murder, that she planned it,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: that she knew what she was doing. Maybe that's all true,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: but what mother sends her husband out for an errand,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: strangles her three kids— jumps out of a second-story window
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: after slicing herself up in the throat and on the wrists,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and the prosecution is saying she isn't crazy? I mean,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: where do you go with that? I mean, I'm not
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: a big fan of letting people off, but, man, you
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: reach them. You know, this prosecutor, it doesn't matter how
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: crazy someone would be, would go for the death penalty,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: would go for first-degree murder. As far as prosecution is concerned,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I guess there's no such thing as people that are
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: crazy enough to do this.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: So I didn't get it. I didn't even know. And
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I agree with the defense attorney.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Why would they even bring this other than just putting
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: her in a facility?
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: And if she was found not guilty by reason of insanity,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: wouldn't she end up in the facility anyway?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, she is in one now anyway. But oh, yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: She would be spending most of the rest of her
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: life Hinkley, for example, was found not guilty for reason
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: of insanity when he attacked President Reagan and shot him.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: He has just recently been released and in the care
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: of his mother after spending his– when was Reagan shot?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Do you remember the year?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: 82? 82. So if he just was released– No, I
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: 81.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, 81.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: So here we're talking 40-something years later. And he has
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: been released to his mother's care. Now, you don't think
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: that not guilty and she walks away. Well, she can't
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: walk because she's in a wheelchair. But not guilty and
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: she rolls away. Okay.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: After months in hiding, Becerra agreed to debate. So says
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Hilton on X. I wonder what changed, he added. So
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: it seems September 30th on CNN is going to be
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: Hilton versus Becerra. Of course, Becerra is the Democrat and
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Steve Hilton is a Republican. They'll finally square off in
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: the debate on stage after weeks of kind of snipping
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: back and forth at each other. And Hilton obviously saying
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: that he was being ducked.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: By Trump. So they're going to get together on CNN.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Wait till you see the personal attacks. I mean,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: it has gotten vicious. They don't even pretend to say
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: we'll take the high end. So the Hilton says that
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Becerra is basically gutless. Becerra's spokesperson, this is my fun,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: the more fun, the more fun statement made by Becerra campaign.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Underland for the Becerra campaign wrote, if debates reward substance,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a rough night for President Trump's lapdog.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: That's Becerra.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: But at least he'll be wearing shoes. It's going to
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: get tough. It's going to be good. It's going to
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: be good. And Hilton, if she speaks with a British accent,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I wonder if Becerra is going to bring that up,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: that he's a Brit.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Which he no longer is.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: He gave up his British citizenship to become an American
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: or when he became an American.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You don't have to do that. That's very unusual today.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Going back to the high court again, the Trump administration
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: has filed an emergency appeal seeking the Supreme Court's blessing
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: to deploy a federal immigration database that it says could
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: be used to root out people who are illegally or
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: improperly registered to vote. Of course, this is all tied
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: to an executive order that President Trump issued that directed
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: the Department of Homeland Security to share information with state
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: officials about voter eligibility and then compare those voter rolls. Well,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: it was struck down by the court. Voting rights groups
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: challenged the database, arguing it violated individuals' privacy rights and
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: came up with inaccurate results. A federal judge ruled the
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: verification system was unlawful and ordered it to be disabled.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: That was just in June. And then last week, a
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: federal appeals court also ruled against the administration.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how the administration is going to prevail.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is the Fed telling the states, here's
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: what you have to do. We're providing you with a
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: list of people that, well, as far as all of
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: our records, our immigration records, and you have to go
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: through that list to see how they match up with
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: your voter rolls.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And the state, California, is saying no. Ain't going to happen.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: And because the issue of elections are state or state elections,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: read the constitution. Trump's position is look at the U
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: S postal service that delivers those ballots. We control that
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: because we are the post office.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Trump's going to lose.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it's already the mail-in balloting is
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: already gone. It's already up in certain States. The mail
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: has already been, uh, been served or it's already been, uh,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: it's already been distributed on voter ballots so i don't
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: know where he's gonna go.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Oh oh neil please next.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Okay so if you pushed me maybe i understand why
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: you want to poke the the canadians or even the
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: mexicans with the gulf of america i haven't figured this
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: one out so uh President Trump signed an executive order
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: renaming Lake Ontario, as we know, to Lake America. Well,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: apparently Sunday he posted a mapped picture of the state
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: of New Mexico, but Mexico was crossed out and America
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: was put in. So it would be New America.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't know we had a fight with them.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: How much do you think it's him poking the bear?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's all poking the bear.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Or no, he really wants to and says this is
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: what should happen. Gulf of America, for example, is not
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: him poking the bear. He believes that it should be
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Gulf of Mexico.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Hold on one second. Kono says it was fake. What
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: was fake?
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it says the New America map shared by Donald
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Trump was an edited fake picture that originally came from
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: an internet parody account.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, but did he repost it? He shared it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Did he share it as a joke? Did he share
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: it as a parody?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: There was no LOL.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: What was it doing on his website? Yeah, he did
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: it on the.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Truth Social account.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: He just shared it on the Truth Social. Yeah, and
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: then on this one, poking the bear. And that's the
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: question I asked. I do believe he does both. I
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: think he pokes the bear as well as make a statement.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: You know, for example, does he really want Greenland to
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: be part of the United States?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, but wait, he's not done yet. That's a tease for.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: The next one.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: The official White House ex-account also shared it without any explanation.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Pretty powerful. I get if it's parody, but it's the
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: White House official.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the issue. But again, the question is... Yeah,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: the issue is, that's the question. And I think he
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: does both. Poke the bear as well as legitimately believe,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: for example, the Gulf of Mexico should be Gulf of America.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't be anything connected to the United States. It
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: should not have any other name other than the United States.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: And in New Mexico, it's New Mexico.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: This land is Trump's land. Iceland has summoned the U.S. ambassador.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: After President Trump posted an image on social media showing
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: the island and other countries covered by the American flag,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: including the U.S., Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Central America and
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: the Caribbean, all covered in the U.S. flag with the
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: entire landmass labeled the United States of America.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: And this happens when any foreign country that the United
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: States or any country has diplomatic relations with, that if
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: they're not happy with that country, then the ambassador gets
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: called in. And Iceland's foreign minister called in Billy Long,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: the U.S. ambassador to Iceland, who has only been named
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: a month ago, and basically asked him, so how many
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: levels of insane is your president? And Billy Long started counting.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: And then the ambassador asked for a break, and we'll
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: come back to the rest of them after we have
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: a quick refreshment break. Where do you go with all
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: this stuff? Where do you go? Okay, well, here's a
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: story that all of us are experiencing.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Neil? The TSA story? Are we all experiencing this? Yeah,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: who fly?
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: We all fly.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So this is interesting.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: I didn't even know that they had, that this was
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: currently available at some airports, but the Transportation Security Administration
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: has launched a new program. It allows, you know, some
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: people without plane tickets to go through the airport security.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: So it's called Gateside.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: And it allows what we remember, most of us remember,
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: when you could go sit with your friend before they
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: left or go hang out on a layover or something
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: and go through security prior to 9-11. And I guess
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: if you have certain TSA pre-checks and things like that,
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: then you can meet or see off friends, family at
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: the gate, meet someone during that layover or visit the
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: airport restaurants and shops.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it does. It show LAX has been
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: one of the airports. No, I don't think so. Including LAX. Hey,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: When you think about something like this, have they have
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: they taken security too far? For example, you go to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Europe and you fly around. You don't have to take
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: your shoes off. Only the United States, you take your
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: shoes off. And why is that? And when you look
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: at the history of those incidents, it was one guy,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I think his name was Richard Reed, that was caught
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: on an airplane with his shoes that had explosives in them.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: And the detonation were a bunch of matches sticking out
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: like birthday candles all the way around the shoe. And
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: he was trying to light one of the matches. It
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: was a Roadrunner cartoon is what it was. And because
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: of that, we take our shoes off. Of course, it
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: never happened because there was no way that explosion was
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: going to take place. How about the people that have
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: stuck explosive in their underwear? Does that mean that all
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: the underwear has to be looked at or taken off?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Why not? That makes all the sense in the world too.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Well, that's the whole point of security is to extend
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: it past the the plausible for the most part or
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: the possible.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: And sometimes you get ridiculous.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Not anymore.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: It's, it is slowed down. I mean, especially, I don't
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: have to take my shoes off if you are in pre-check.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: If you're in pre-check, that's right.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: You don't have to open your computer and that's been
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: around for a while, but they haven't gone beyond that. Amy.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: What we left behind five years ago, we left Afghanistan and,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Now CBS News has sent reporters in to go check
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: it out. And what they found was billions of dollars
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: worth of American-purchased military hardware still buzzing around. The hardware
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: still pretty easy to spot, apparently, on the streets of Kabul.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Taliban fighters patrol in armored vehicles once supplied to Afghan
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: forces from U.S. forces. The Taliban proudly shows off its
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: American-funded arsenal. Even staging military parades through Kabul's streets.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: $ 70 billion worth.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Happens in 1979. Same thing happened in Iran when the
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: revolution took place.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: We left hardware behind?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tons of hardware. Yeah. Vietnam, tons of hardware.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Remember they were throwing helicopters off the aircraft carriers to
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: make room?
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: It's crazy when we get out of there very quickly.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: And since 9-11 is going to be remembered on 9-11
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: on Friday, I've been telling you that we're going to
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: be broadcasting the broadcast, rebroadcasting the broadcast we did that
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: morning as the terrorist attacks were panning out. And it's
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: very interesting.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: It's a montage of six hours of broadcast.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I was on for six hours. And it was, we
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: put together, what, six, seven minutes of the most important moments,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: but you'll hear that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, we are done.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Coming up, Steve Hilton, who is running for the governor
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: of California, as opposed to Xavier Becerra, the Democrat.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: He's got an idea. Oh, boy, he has an idea.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Let's get rid of him. of the DMV.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Everybody's going to love that. Free pizzas on Friday. That's
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the kid who won my fourth grade presidency when we
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: were in school. Free pizzas on Friday.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: And that's Steve Hilton.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: That's the entire Democratic Socialist Party is what that is.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: You've been listening to The Bill Handel Show.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Catch my show Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
