  Speaker 2: Everybody knows a few things about Juneteenth that very few
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: people know. For example, Abraham Lincoln known as the Great

  Speaker 2: Emancipator because originally that was sort of conflating words because
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: he was so thin, he was known as the Great Emaciator,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and instead that changed.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'd like.

• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Guy.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he is on a level.
• 2:56

  Speaker 2: maybe the world on his level. And he's coming in
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and there's a documentary film that he created. And when
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I start going through the list of people he has
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: worked with, like sinking or speaking well, for example, Bradley
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Cooper who really had to learn how to sing for
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a Star is Born. That was Roger who worked with him.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: If I go through the list, yeah yeah, it was
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a Star is Born. Now there was also a sweetest
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: version of the stars Born. You're aware of that. That's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a star is Bjorn? Okay, I love that joke. It
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is so stupid. I can't believe it. I use it
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: over and over again.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Oh right, Roger does teach how to speak and things
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: like that.

  Speaker 2: Cono took the weekend. I took today and he's coming
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: back on Monday. I asked Dan, and she said that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: every year Cono with his brother and his dad do

• 4:27
  Speaker 2: which I have. I do not understand one iota me neither. Yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I just I don't get that he goes fishing with
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: his dad. As I said earlier, I go fishing with
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: my dad, but I just would use pieces of him
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for bait. You wrote to say, Neil, Happy Father's Day.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: You ruin everything.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, mate, I believe you'll be close to him one day,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: at least as far as the earth is concerned.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I won't be too close. No, not that close. Although
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: we're still at the same place. Oh, that's the whole
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: story unto itself too, the burial plot story.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: We're just bumming everybody out. We're only eleven minutes into
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the ship.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: We just got off a high of having Heather's joy
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: and brightness to our lives. And she did light. We
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: got entertainment. It's like handles all by the way.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: We're all good to die.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's true.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, then will will good morning. I can't hear you morning.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Oh there we are, Yeah, there you are.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Your Cosameo Mexico sweet shirt sweatshirt.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: In honor of the Mexican team winning last night.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I was accidentally at a Mexican restaurant and they went
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: crazy last night. Oh I didn't. I wasn't paying attention Mexico,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: who wasn't there for the World Cup?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: But who who do they win against? South This wasn't
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the World Cup?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Korea?
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah Korea?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: They went against against South Korea.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, nuts in my neighbors.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'll bet, I'll bet guns firing, unless you're in Korea
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: town where they they actually had the mock funerals. No,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Mexican people of Mexican descent are insane about their heritage,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: especially when when it comes to sporting events. And on
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: top of that, when you have such a huge number
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: of Mexicans you know, actually, yeah, they're Mexicans of Mexican descent.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Is that fair? Okay, where's this going?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And it's going no place. It's going straight into the news.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: So let's do it. Handle on the news with Heather
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and Neil and me late Storry. Well, in a wonderful
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: move that has expanded our deal with Iran, it's looking
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: very good. Vance was supposed to go out this weekend
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to start the negotiations, the serious sit down negotiations with
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Iran fell apart.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: He's not going no, not now. Not here.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Begs the question, doesn't it since that this was going
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to be the first of the talk subsequent to the signing,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: because negotiations were supposed to start this weekend. The answer
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: is no on that one. So well, it's going to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: be fascinating to see what happens in the next few days.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Good news. Oil is down.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It's about ten dollars more than it was before the war,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: so it's seventy six dollars a barrel.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: And gas is down.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So we'll see and by the way, it's going to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: probably be it'll never be at those levels as they
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: were in terms of the price of oil and gas
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: prior to the war. But it's down pretty considerably. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you're going to see. Inflation is here. There's a lot
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of moving parts here. What isn't moving is jd Vance
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: on an airplane on his way to Switzerland. That's not moving.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: All right, we do one more for the breaker.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You wanna go to Breawn, Yeah, let's do one all right.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: So just yesterday, attorney for Luigian Mangioni, we're going to
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: use the psychiatric defense in his murder trial. Will now
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: they have withdrawn their plans to use that defense.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, This is interesting. First of all, this is not
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the insanity defense. That's still McNaughton. The McNaughton rule coming
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: in from the eighteen nineties, which will still use it,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: by the way today, is like passion of the moment, right,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Not quite, not quite.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: It's a weird one.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Extreme emotional distruss.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: He was emotionally He knew what he was doing, but
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: he was so emotionally distraught.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: It's mainly a mitigating factor.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: By the way, the McNaughton defense is either you have
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: no idea of what you're doing, no idea, or you
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: cannot appreciate that it is wrong. That's mcnonton, that's insanity.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: This one was less than that. So I think what
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: happened to Judge said, okay, let's see some evidence. I mean,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you can't just say it. You have to have some evidence,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that psychological, psychiatric evidence. They couldn't produce one iota of it,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: so they know that that's basically gone. Okay, we continue
• 9:03

• 10:10
  Speaker 2: back we go more handle on the news with Heather
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Neil and me.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: So, you know, the.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Hardest thing to do, as Russian President Vladimir Putin now knows,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: is try to hide how poorly things are going in
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: a war when the war comes ten miles away from
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: the Kremlin, so you've got Putin trying to control things.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: He's said to have been secluding himself from the deteriorating
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: realities of his invasion of Ukraine, because now you've got
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: all these blasts taking place within ten miles away from
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: the Kremlins. You've got obliterated refineries, thick black smoke over
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Russia's capital and people, his people are seeing it and there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's screwed the crew. He keeps on doubling
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: down and doubling down. Remember Kiev was supposed to be
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: taken in three days by the Russian forces, and now
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: we're into the year four, already into this war.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of descent now too.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, the people of Russia. It's not fun.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't matter.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: He says, I'm going to have that part of Ukraine
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: compeller high water, and the only people that tend to
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: disagree with him are the Ukrainians, who have taken drone
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: warfare to a whole new level, and that has changed everything,
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: much like it did with the war in Iran drones.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: So you know what you see next after they're bombing refineries.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: You're gonna see long lines and gas lines in Russia
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: and things that you can't ignore or right away.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've lost millions of men already.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, way, mom, really quick, I have a little breaking
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: news story that's coming into the newsroom. Here is and
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: the Hesbula militant group have just agreed within the last
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: few minutes to renew their ceasefire after fighting was postponed
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: between Iran and US talks in Switzerland. So just moments ago,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: where did the ceasefire came from? Two regional officials and
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: a US official. It was mediated by cutter US and Iran,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: And I'll get some more information on that for you
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: as well. All right. Weimo is recalling nearly thirty nine
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: hundred robotaxis. Apparently there's a software issue that caused some
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: vehicles to enter active freeway construction zones and continue driving
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: at a high rate of speed. Weimo's fifth generation automated
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: driving systems are the ones that are mostly effective. The
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: recall follows thirteen incidents, six happened in April in Phoenix.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: The company says they're developing a remedy to address the problem.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is what happens when you have
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: new technology.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: You fix it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: You see the bugs, you see what's wrong, you fix it,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: same thing over and over again. That's what happened with cars.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: That's with airplanes. That's I'm a big fan. I think
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: U incredibly safe, these autonomous cars where people are going,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: oh no, no, no, We'd rather have human beings who
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: are drunk and blind driving cars.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: I want to know.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: I want to know what services you take where they're
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: drunk and blind driving the cars?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Hey services? Those are those are normal drivers?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: You see that blind?
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: Yes? Alright? All right?
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Uh So you've got wing nuts who have drones that
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: can't follow the rules. They're flying over Los Angeles Stadium
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: in Inglewood as we know it, SOFI Stadium. H eight
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: were cup matches, you're scheduled. You got at least twenty
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: eight drone seizure seizures. And this is just people trying
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: to get images or video of these games. And you
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: can get penalties up to one hundred thousand dollars in
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: five and they don't.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Nail them enough.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: And they don't nail them enough. That's the part that
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: kills me. They're super dangerous. They have these drones, you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: for example, interference with the flight crew. You know these
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: people they had arrested, they start punching on their on airplanes.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: They start punching people going after the steward assistant.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: And you know that's a.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine and five years
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: in prison.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: No one gets that.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: I think the term is steward ie.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Well it's either a male or a female stewards, but.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's And if they're above five pounds, they're supposed
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: to have a tail license. I have won over five pounds.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: It's got a tail license, it's registered, it's all that stuff.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go ahead and take a break.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: We'll come back and dive right into as many stories
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: as we can for the end of the hour.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: six forty.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Bill Handle. Good morning, everybody. It
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: is a Friday morning, June nineteenth.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: A lot going on.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Looks like the peace agreement, or at least the negotiations
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: between Iran the United States, which we're so to start
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: this weekend postponed not happening very quickly, although Heather just
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: reported that there is a ceasefire deal between Lebanon and Israel,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: which was a big part of what the negotiations were about.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: All right, back we go more handle on the news,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Heather Neil and me.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: They're running out of beer in Boston, apparently because of
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: the World Cup. Fans from Scotland have drank all the
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: beer from Boston Beer Company. It's called there. They're called
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: the Tartan Army. That's Scotland's supporters organization for their World
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Cup team. The bar owners say they drank four times
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: what the company normally stocks on a typical four day
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: holiday stretch like the Fourth of July. Scots do not
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: mess around, they, I guess, just drank them, drank them
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Newry the home. What a fun time. I feel like
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: we don't have those kind of parties here for the
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: World Cup. Like, no, no, none of our parties seem
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: to be that wild. I've been seeing video from other
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: parts of the country where these World Cup revelers are.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: You know, the Scots are playing their bagpipes and in
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: the streets along with you know, there's big parties and
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: dances and celebrations. We don't really seem to be having
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: that here.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: There's tons of activity in my neighborhood. Really people, tons
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: and tons of people walking in the streets. A lot
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: of young people lines around on the block to get
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: into cases.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: It's pretty insane.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: It's not happening in Glendale, then I guess I'm missing it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Maybe not so big in Glendale. All right, So, Boile Heights,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: you heard about that fire. It has covered the skies
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: here on the eastern side of Los Angeles, heavy smoke
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: flowing out of that Boyle Heights warehouse, and so as
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: firefighters are working to extinguish everything and get it all out,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: they found this freezer container as they were venting out
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: that charge structure, and they had to put out a
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: new shelter in place order. You know, this fire is
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: probably about five miles from my house, and it, yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: caused a lot of smoke overhead.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Don't fryd it ironic that a fire is occurring in
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a freezer container.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: What's all on the top of the building.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know, but I just I wanted to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: be ironic about it. Makes some point, okay, okay, but
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the point is it's on the east side. I don't
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: live on the east side, so frankly I don't care.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't care, so we are sort of I guess,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: pandering to our international fans here. Craft is. Anyway, they
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: have created a limited edition Craft TSA compliant ranch kit.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Remember yesterday we were talking about their fascination with American
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: foods and things like that. Well, ranch dressing is at
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: the top of the list of condiments that a lot
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: of these international guests want to take home. Well Craft
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: now has a clear TSA approved quart size bag and
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: a bulk stash of Craft Ranch packets that they can
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: take home with them.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Boy, what an accidental promo. It just happens sometimes where
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: you know, lightning in a bottle and the international crowd
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: is discovering all things American, and for some reason, ranch
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: has become the favorite food item that the international participants,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the viewers that are coming in or the fans that
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: are coming in.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I don't have that anywhere else like that.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think I think that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think they do. But I've been to a
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: fair number of places.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Craft people or ranch people like yeah put it in
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: overseas that seems like.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I've even been in other countries. I've been to their
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: ranches and they don't have ranch. All right, Okay, Neilia,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: can't hear you.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Sorry about that. This one's super legal wonky. And we've
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: talked about it in the past about Uber and then
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: California lawyers reaching a deal. They had the Dueling ballot initiatives,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: if you remember, and bill. One of them was that
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: it was going to limit the amount a p I
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: attorney could get in a crash involving Lyft or Uber
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: and things like that. I don't know how they do that,
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: but they had that in their work.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Now it was going Neil.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: It was going to limit all personal injury cases to
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent of whatever the plaintiff got, twenty five
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: percent for the lawyers, twenty five percent for the doctors,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent that I believe costs had to be included,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: which basically meant that there would no PI lawyer would exist.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: People would not be able to have personal injuries lawyers
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: because they were going to make no money whatsoever. And
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: that was they of course, they said, it's for the
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: benefit of the consumer. That's the way everything is always drafted.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: And so what the lawyers are doing. Went after Uber
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: because they've been raped, because so many people have been
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: a cue or have alleged that there was rape, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: it was going to make it difficult for Uber to
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: defend itself. They actually weren't exactly opposite each other, but
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: there was that fight going on and they said, Okay,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: we're going to give it up both sides, let's go
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: back to where we were before. And that's what happened,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: which is a shame for KFI because there would have
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: been hundreds of millions of dollars spent in advertising.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: All right, sorry, go.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Ahead, sorry.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Ford has sued a Lemon law firm. Apparently they are
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: inflating their fees by seven thousand percent. Quill and Arrow,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: a personal injury firm representing drivers in Lemon Law, which
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: something I know, Bill, you talk about a lot on
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: your show on Saturdays. They have increased their fees by
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: seven thousand percent. That's crazy.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what they're alleged with alleged.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a little bit more complex than that,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: a little wonky, as Neil would say, The argument is
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: what you would normally charge insurance companies, what you would
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: charge for well, we put it this way, what you
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: would charge for normal representation under this law, Lemon law,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: that you can sue and the defendants of car companies
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: have to pay. They can basically charge whatever they want,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and they have and it's statutory. In other words, I
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: represent you in a Lemon law case, and I don't
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: take a percentage of whatever you get. I just file
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: for separate attorneys fees, and I can file for any
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: amount of attorney's fees. No cap on that, no cap,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: no cap whatsoever. All right, I think we can do
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: one more.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: All Right, You've got a senator coming out and talking
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: to the FAA saying, hey, this whole Donald Trump wanting
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: to he's proposed this two hundred and fifty nine foot
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: tall Independence Arch, and this could pose risks to commercial flights.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't maybe landing, you know, why the hell would.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: No just getting away.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: It's just it's, you know, it's a building that is
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: a threat to uh, you know, airlines coming in airplane.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: So it's a blinking red light that all these buildings have,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: or these towers have. And so it's this is so stupid,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: this thing. It's again, we talked about this yesterday, Neil.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: This is President Trump putting his stamp on everything he
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: can around Washington.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Now he's going he's put it on so many things.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: He's got to move up. He's got to go, guy.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I mean this arch it's uh, it's copied after the
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Arc de Triumph in Paris, which is a monumental monument.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: It's known all over the world. Is one.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: There's the Eiffel Tower, and there's the Art Art Triumph.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: And the president is out doing the arc. He said,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Arc de Triumph in Paris. Fee on Paris. I'm going
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: to outdo this gross that's what he said. Fifth on Paris.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: We're coming back more handle on the news.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: We'll finish it up day fine, am six forty handle here.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: It is a Friday morning, June teenth. At June nineteenth,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: which I'm going to do topic on. I'm going to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: cover that at seven o'clock top of the hour, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a few things about June nineteenth that you may not know,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the Emancipation Proclamation and all that, some kind of interesting
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: facts that that you don't know.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, before we go, I don't know Will's out there,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: because one of the things I love about Will Cole
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Schreiber here is that whenever I say something ridiculous, he
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: reacts to everything. And I absolutely love it. Neil, it
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't care now, he reacts to nothing. And has been
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: around so long she's heard it. Yeah, okay, fine, fine, fine,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Michelle when she's here, because she was only with me
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: for twenty five years, there is nothing I can say
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: that she won't finish the sentence.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Sam laughs.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: He thinks it's pretty funny stuff. So anyway, so much
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: for that. And I will and that was that was
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: a compliment to Will. I don't know where the hell
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: he is. It's probably in the bathroom. Maybe we can
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: take a microphone with him. Ooh, naked guns and I
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: have and have when can hear the toilet flush?
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Huh? Or have him with the sound effects.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, guys, let's just on a little walk about. Yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: that makes sense. Okay, let's do it. It's time to
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: finish it up. Handle on the news with Heather and
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Neil and me.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: And Heather.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: It's Neil and Neil. No, I already did the Senator.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: We're I'm in number twelve.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: All right, My bad, too much coffee on my end.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: So NASA is planning to rescue one of its telescopes
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: that's in danger of falling back to Earth and sort
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: of burning up in the atmosphere. The Swift Observatory has
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: been using this telescope to observe the Earth for more
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: than two decades. Now they're saying they're going to rescue
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: this telescope. It says later in June, so they probably
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: in the next week or so. And yeah, that's exciting.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: They're going to rescue a telescope from burning up in
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: the atmosphere.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Well, these are everything in low Earth orbit. If there
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: aren't rockets to move it back up again, tend to
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: crash to Earth. I mean, that's just gravity and all that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: You have to keep them up with rocketry, the ISS,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I mean everything. So it's I don't know if they're
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: gonna rescue it. I guess they're not. Even this doesn't
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: have rockets on there, and there's no way of putting
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: more fuel on like there is with the Hubble like theirs.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: They're going to try to save it. That's what they're
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: calling it. A rescue mission.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I understand, but I just don't quite
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: know how they're going to do it. Yeah, I don't
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: know exactly how they're going to do it. Now, when
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you have a deep space telescope or deep space satellites,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: they don't have to worry about that.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: So oh, here's it. Okay, factoid, fact oid.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Hold on a second, and because you're not going to
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: be able to answer this synchronous orbit where satellites go
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: up usually telecommunity can telecommunication satellites go up and they
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: are at the same place on Earth or their their antennae,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: their signal goes to the same place. So you have
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: three or four around the world, and uh, it's that's
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: complete coverage. Satellites don't move, well, they do move with
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: the Earth. Okay, at what distance does a satellite have
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: to be from the Earth to make it synchronous orbit?
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Dude, do do doo? No one knows that.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Nine nine miles that Yeah, that's what an airplane goes
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: out close.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: It's kind of a low atmosphere.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Twenty two thousand miles.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Oh dang, Okay, I wasn't close at all.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: When was the skylight? Was that in the eighties?
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I think it was?
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that came down, Yeah, skylight came down.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: I wasn't born yet, all right.
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: You suck.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: When you buy a house as is, well, that could
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: mean a lot of different things. So you have this
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: new home own home owner who bought a foreclosed Connecticut
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: home as is finding the remaining bits are parts skeletal
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: remains of three people.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: So they come in and they said, hey, there's human
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: remains here. So you've got the state police and everything
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: coming in. No foul play, just three skeletons, Just three skeletons.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: And they didn't release any you know, any evidence they
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: may have who they are. They did say that it
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: doesn't look like any foul play. But yeah, that's a Now.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Usually usually the teams that go and investigate are five
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: or six people, but this time around there were only two,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: which of course means that they sent in a skeleton.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Oh huh huh.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I like it all right? You want to do? Want more?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Yeap?
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Sleep Number has filed for bankruptcy. You know the Sleep
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Number beds.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Oh I used the new commercial for Sleep Number bed.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I have a house full of Sleep Number beds. Well,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: now they're broke, they're out of money. They're filed for bankruptcy.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: They are six hundred and seventy two million dollars in debt.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: How much would they pay you to advertise for them?
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Bill handle?
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm gonna I'm going to share that with you,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: aren't I how much they pay for comm that's what
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: they owe Bill.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: That's what they go Bill.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now this is beds now, They're wonderful beds Now.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: This is chapter eleven. This is a reorganization. It is
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: not the company going broke. There are two kinds of bankruptcy.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: One is chapter eleven, which is reorganization. It goes in
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: and presents to the court this plan for repayment and
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: leases that are going to be up or over cutting
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: them off. And then there is complete liquidation, which I
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: think is chapter thirteen, where the company just disappears and
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: sells off it's freezer, sells off its refrigerators in the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: back room, everything, and the company ceases to exist.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Sleep number will still be around.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Well, they're saying tariffs and supply chain disruptions and advertising
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: to Bill handle is what is sending them exactly.
