  Speaker 1: You're list Saints k fly AM six forty.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: The bill handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: About one hundred and fifty passengers still aboard that cruise
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: ship that has the hunt of virus on it the outbreak.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Three confirmed cases of deaths, five suspected cases been reported,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and they've taken everybody theoretically off the ship that had
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: or showed symptoms. And we're expecting Iran to give us its.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Answer.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I think it's happening now.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So and if the thing is coming in now, let's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: get this story together and we'll do it for one
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of the segments coming up, because this is important. Stuff
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: is breaking right now. What Iran has responded to Now
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Orange County, where I have to live right now, interesting place.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: As you may know, Orange County, which used to be
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: right right, far right, orange, orange, red, is now purple.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: There are enough Democrats that are in there that is
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: no longer considered a red, red county.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And here is what's happening.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And there's one primary reason or one primary topic in
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: which there is real split and which is no longer
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: real split. And as to do with the politics of immigration,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the President ran on immigration issues.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: He ran on Joe Biden with open.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Arms, open borders, which Biden did have, by the way,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not arguing that. And it was fairly easy to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: come across the border during the Biden presidency if you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: were illegal. Well, that's certainly changed under President Trump, where
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the border was shut down effectively, and it's actually getting
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: more shut down, where more and more restrictions are being
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: put into place. Asylum claims are almost on existent, H
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: one B visas are very hard to get, I mean,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: just very very differ. We just don't want immigrants in here. However,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: because Trump administration, what it has done is have and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: my opinion, and I'm not alone, has have gone way
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: over the top and dealing with immigration way over the top.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Under the guys of we're only getting worse, We're only
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: getting out the worst of the worst, the felons, the rapists,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the murderers who come across the border and who are illegal,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that's who we're getting rid of. Well, the vast majority
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of those that are entertainment or have been deported are
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: not the worst of the worst.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Those who do.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Have records, criminal records, we're talking drunk driving, we're talking
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: about traffic tickets in many cases, and so the backlash
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: has come fast and furious.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: When's the last.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Time you saw on the news immigration officials going added
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: on a street corner in Minneapolis, for example, and picking
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: people up, Or the last time you saw anybody who
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: was perceived to be illegal being thrown to the ground
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and handcuffed. And of course you have the two shootings
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: that took place in Minneapolis, of which Christinome went right
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: out in public and said these were terrorists that were
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: attacking police officers. She didn't even look at the video.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And so what's going on. Well, the issue of immigration
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: has gone from a super positive for the president and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the administration to now one of the biggest negatives. He
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: actually took something that he had a win on and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: went over the top and now it has become a loss.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So there's a new poll released by UC Irvine School
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of Social Ecology, and support for Trump among Orange County
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: voters is down to thirty five percent. Sixty five percent
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: do not approve of the president's performance and his hardline
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: immigration policies have proven to be particularly important and unpopular,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and the pole result results in Orange County. The experts
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: are saying and by the way, Orange County is largely
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: seen as a bell weather in recent years, does not
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: look at voting well for Republicans who are already facing
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: an uphill battle heading into the November midterms. If nothing else,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: just historically is that the party out of power generally
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: does very well during the midterms.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: That is historically true. Very rarely does it go the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: other way.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Democrats have carried the county in recent presidential elections, which
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: is pretty weird, but it's still decidedly purple, and it
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: is home to Orange County now home to some of
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the most contested congressional districts in recent years. And once
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: we have the district thing which has been done, the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: redistricting is not going to be as contested because we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: now know which district is going to vote which way.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: But the bottom line, here's some numbers. Than seventy percent
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of the respondents said they oppose conducting immigration enforcement at
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: schools and hospitals, sixty three percent of pose using the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: military to assist, sixty four percent oppose ending birthright citizenship,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and a majority are against expanding that border wall. Do
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you know that border wall is still going up? And
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many billions and billions of dollars
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: at has cost. So what's going to hurt the president
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: or certainly going to hurt Republicans more so than anything else.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it depends.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: If inflation keeps on rising, that's going to hurt big time.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: If gas prices keep on rising, that's going to hurt
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: big time. As a matter of fact, I'm looking at
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: various news outlets, and the Republicans who nailed Biden for
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: gas prices are urging the voters be patient with President Trump.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Be patient. This will work out.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Prices are going to come down, and so you can't
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: make a decision right now. Now that's not flying. That's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: not flying. Same thing with inflation. Be patient with inflation.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: The president will bring down prices. Well, okay, we vote
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: with our pocketbooks, and right now our pocketbooks aren't doing
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: too well. And as long as this war continues, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: even beyond that, because if you look at the oil experts,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: if you look at people who study the transport system
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and the distribution system. From what I'm hearing and what
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I'm watching is they bring these experts in on the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: news outlets. They're saying, even if oil were to be unleashed, today,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: if Hormuze Strait is open today, you're not looking at
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: gas prices effectively going down for at least seven months
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and will never go down to below what we were
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: paying the pre pandemic prices. And I'll tell you what
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you're gonna hear. Let's say draw prices drop seventy five
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: cents a gallon. That's still seventy five percent more, seventy
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: five cents more than we are paying. But you're not
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: gonna hear it's seventy five cents more. What you're gonna
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: hear is we reduce the prices seventy five cents.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Look at the wind. Look at the wind.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: We told you we were going to reduce the prices,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and they just went down. Well again, voting with your pocketbook,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: We'll see how much this flies. And Orange County very
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: very interesting county, Orange County, and it used to be
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the bastion of republicanism around the country. Orange County had
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the reputation of probably being the most red areas of
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: anti the entire United States. All right, coming up the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: end of cigarettes, the end of cigarettes?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Is that possible?
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Maybe you're listening to Bill Hand on demand from KFI
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: AM six forty.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: A Thursday morning, May seventh. Quick reminder Tomorrow it's Foody
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Friday with Neil and ask Candle anything where I get
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the joys of answering your questions to try to embarrass me.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: You can still do still record the questions right up
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: until the end of the show. You go to the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app and click onto KFI and this show is
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: being broadcast, and then you click on the microphone in
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the upper right hand corner and record your question ten
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: fifteen seconds. You record your questions, and if they're particularly
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: stupid and or particularly embarrassing, I answer them. If you
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: cannot be understood, it's good point. I will answer them.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: If you happen not to have arms or legs and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you're just a torso in a head and can figure
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: out how to make that phone call, I will answer
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the question. Okay, so much for that. Now, when someone
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: gets lung cancer or dies of lung cancer, what's the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: first thing we ask?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: First thing?
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Were they a smoker?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Were they a smoker? And when you talk about people
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: who have died of lung cancer, big names Walt Disney
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: comes to mind. He was sixty six years old and
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: died of lung cancer. John Wayne died of lung cancer. Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And were they smokers? Oh? Yes, Walt Disney smoked three
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: packs of cigarettes to day. He constantly had a cigarette
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in his hands.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: You know an interesting fact, by the way, about that
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Bill is at the parks, no one ever points with
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: one finger one because it's rude. They point with two fingers.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: And a lot of that stems back to the photographs
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: of Walt himself pointing with two fingers. But it was
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: him holding a cigarette. And would they would clean it photo? Well,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: back then they would do it with pencils and stuff.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: So that's why he's always pointing with two fingers.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hmm, I didn't know that. That is an interesting point.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Remember, no mustache is the only person in the entire
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Disney system who could have a mustache was Walt Disney,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and that came as a result of there just were
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: too many Armenian employees, women particularly, that were wearing mustaches. Okay,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: you knew I was going to go there, didn't you.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I guess I should have. Yeah, you certainly should have.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: So we know now if you look at statistically how
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: dangerous cigarette smoking is, and it kills you half a
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: million people in the United states die as a result
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of complications of smoking.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: That's what the experts are telling us.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: This where the both on a federal level and certainly pullmonologists,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and we just now know this and that bodes or
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: that goes to a very interesting question, and that is
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: what can government do to stop smoking? Up to this point,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the government, well, let's go back to the fifties and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you would see ads and the one I remember probably
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the most clearly, was an ad was a magazine, was
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Look magazine or whatever magazine that was around, and there
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: would be an actor in a lab coat with a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: stethoscope around his neck so clearly he looked like a doctor,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a cigarette in his hand, and said Chesterfields are good
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: for you. They will make you calmer, they are good
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: for your health.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan even did a couple of advertisements for the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: smokes at one point.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And what got the industry in so much trouble is
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: that internally they knew the connection between smoking and lung
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: cancer and heart disease. They know it and covered it
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: up for decades and decades, and so government said, okay,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: we've got to do something about this, because you can't
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: lie to people, you can't commit open fraud where you
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: know that A is not b's, you can't do that.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And so laws started to be passed, and it really
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: took the Surgeon General to issue a report saying this
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: is bad stuff for you. And then it got more
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and more restrictive, not in terms of buying cigarettes, but
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: in terms of advertising cigarettes. And I want to take
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a break and come back and talk about what some
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: jurisdictions are doing about smoking, particularly England, because they just
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: passed some laws that is taking the smoking industry just
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: by surprise, and they're not happy about it, but they're
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: not happy in general about smoking. But then I'm gonna
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: be you a statistic as to how many people are
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: no longer smoking and how we've looked a's smoking very
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: very differently over the last decades.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: am six forty.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Still that haunt a virus aboard the ship is making
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: big news. Three people die, they've removed a few people
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and now it's on its way to I believe the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Netherlands where.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It Canary Islands. That's close. Yeah, the three passengers evacuated
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: went to the Netherlands. Everybody else is heading to Canary.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Fair enough.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for correcting you, which we won't be
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: doing again anytime.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: No I was updating you, corrected you again.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: This is very bad. This is very very bad. We're
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: gonna have we have a meeting scheduled right after the show.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: You understand that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: The other thing we're waiting for big time is Iran's
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: response to the the American demands. And I don't know
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: if it's going to happen or not. Although you know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: look at the stock market that's through the roof. Oil
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: is still super expensive except dropped because theoretically there's going
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to be a piece. I don't know how that works.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, before we get to the topic, back
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: to smoking, Neil Dodgers.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Alrighty, Your official home for Dodgers baseball is AM five
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: seventy LA Sports. The Dodgers are traveling back to LA
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: and we'll take on the Braves tomorrow night at Dodger
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Stadium with first pitch at seven pm. Listen on AM
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: five seven DLA Sports and streaming on iHeartRadio app live
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: from the gaupin Ford Broadcast booth.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Now, I've been talking about the whole issue of smoking
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and smoking. As we know by now unless you're a
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: complete more onn and don't believe it. About half a
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: million people die every year as a result of smoking,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: direct result of smoking, heart disease, lung cancer, just all
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: of it. And so what is the done about it? Well,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: it sort of tolerates it, not comfortably, but our government
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: is tolerated. For example, cigarettes used to be left alone
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and fraud was allowed.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Cigarettes are good for you, They relax you.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: You're going to be healthier if you spoke cigarettes. Well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: clearly that change is more and more information came out
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: about the connection with lung cancer specifically, and then heart
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: disease and then other issues, other medical issues, and so
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: we've gone from just allowing it to happen period to
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: being more and more not so much restrictive, but warning
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: labels I went to, cigarettes may harm you. They cause
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: lung cancer right on the cigarette boxes and then the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: skull and crossbones, I mean, all of it telling me
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: people is going to kill you, is going to kill you.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: And it seems to have worked, because what is it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Twenty years ago forty percent of Americans smoked forty percent.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Now it's ten percent.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So it hits home and the tobacco companies still make money,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: which I don't understand. I mean, they've lost eighty percent
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: of their market, maybe because the cigarettes cost so much.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: The other day I was looking at the cost of cigarettes,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: which I don't pay attention to in the supermarket. I'm going,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: oh my god, how does anybody afford this? Even one
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: pack a day? At twelve bucks a pack? I mean
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that's twelve bucks.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Holy did you ever smoke? No?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I never understood that you never smoke. Yeah, cigarette.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I smoked after sex, but that was more. You were
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: doing it way too fast. Yeah, that's exactly true. A
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: lot of friction there. Amy stopped shaking your head.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, here's what's happening. We are tolerant, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the government. The United States government is
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: simply tolerant. Remember used to be mind if I smoke,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: and of course you'd say yes, yeah, No one said no.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: And then it was do you mind if I smoke?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Do you mind if I fart? And it got to
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: be a little bit more restrictive, and now no one
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: says do you mind if I smoke? They just go
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: outside and so repetitiously pick up a cigarette and smoke
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: in the corner of the parking lot outside.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you what.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: England is doing, and there's a lot more jurisdictions that
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: are following suit. England has said that no one who
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: is seventeen years or younger on New Year's Day in
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven will ever be allowed to buy to
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: buy tobacco.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Not you're going to be twenty one, you could buy.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: You will never be allowed to buy tobacco if you
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: were born after New Year's Day twenty twenty seven, which
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: means that eventually, if the law continues, smoking is will
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: be illegal. There'll be a straight out prohibition. And England
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: is not alone them all lives did it in November.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: New Zealand did it, but then it was a new
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Conservative government that undid that. Twenty two towns in Massachusetts
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: have done it and this is called a generational ban
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to eliminate smoking. Now England, it makes a little bit
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: more sense because England has national health and if you're
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: talking about half a million people dying of smoke related illness,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: guess what. They don't just die in two minutes. They
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: die after a course of years of treatment, and that
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: costs a whole lot of money, to say the least,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So you can see England moving in that direction, just financially.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: On our side, it's just a question of a health issue.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, do we want people to die of cancer?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Although once, once you've become addicted. And that's the other
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: thing the tobacco company said is nicotine is not addictive.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I remember there was a congressional hearing in which they
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: brought the CEOs of all of the major tobacco companies,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: American Tobacco, Reynolds, I mean all of them. There must
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: have been twelve thirteen CEOs, and one of the congress
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: people said, how many of you believe that nicotine is
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: not addictive? Every single hand was raised, every single one. Well,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: cigarettes are incredibly addictive, very difficult to stop, and I
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: think the only way you're going to stop this is
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: exactly what England is doing.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Prohibition.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Does that mean that it's going to be black market? Yeah, yeah,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: it's going to be black market, but again it's going
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: to cut it way way down. And alcohol doesn't kill
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: that many people. Alcohol per se is not going to
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: kill you. Cigarettes per se are going to kill you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up some news on the Jeffrey Epstein
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: suicide note what suicide? Note he didn't leave one. Well
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: he may have. Okay, does that change anything. I'll share
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: that with you when we come back, and we'll finish
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: it up right here on KFI AM six forty.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: six forty.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Some of the news we are looking at. You'll hear
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: about it throughout the rest of the day. The US
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: is awaiting the response from Iran as to the proposal
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: that's been made by the President, who has said if
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you don't accept these terms, I'm going to bomb you
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: into non existence.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Well, is it going to happen? Of course not. He
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: made thread after thread after threat, and so nothing's gonna happen.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: And also about one hundred and fifty passengers still on
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: board that cruise ship dealing with hantavirus and they have
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a buffet and you can eat food with the virus
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: or food without the virus. Big sign that says, you know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: eat all you want. I want to finish it up
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: with a story that I don't know why.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: It's a big story.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: A federal judge just unsealed what is purported to be
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein. It's unverified, it's undocumented
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: or undated, and it was placed in the court docket
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: by in the case of a former cellmate who happens
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to be a former police officer who was convicted of
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: a quadruple murder who is going to be up for
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: parole in about one hundred and ninety two years. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the cellmate said, and this guy is Nicholas. What a
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: tart tarts at GLIONI he said, Oh, there's my dog.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: All right, good for you.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: I think your dog was saying you pronounced that horribly,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: but go ahead, I did.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Get out of it here, Get out
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: of here. You're interrupting.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: You know, when you shut him up, you know what
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: you know what works? You know what works is when
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you kick him and they hit the wall. That tends
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to work pretty well.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: So. Anyway, this note, which has been unsigned, unverified, undated,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: was with the authorities for seven years, and The New
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: York Times found out about it and asked the court
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to make it public. The administration did not oppose that,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: even though the administration has been opposing releasing those files
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: since day one, and the Nicholas Tartaglione. Okay, no Barking
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: said Epstein tried to kill himself when he was in
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the cell with me. I woke up, I brought him
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: back with CPR, and to prove the point that he
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: wanted to kill himself, Epstein wrote the suicide note. Well, okay,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: he did, he didn't, but I have a question. So
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: he writes a suicide note a few weeks before he
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: actually hangs himself.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Now what Okay, so he wrote a suicide note, what
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: does that have to do with anything?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe the accusation is that the government held onto that
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: note for seven years. Why who cares? And the fact
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: they didn't oppose it, they said, okay, you know, release it.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So you know, I don't understand why this is any
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: kind of a story, Neil.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can explain it to me. Why you say
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: is a story?
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Well, it's just because anything with Epstein right now, people
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: are it's like they're in a desert of information and
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: they'll take anything for one for two. It is weird
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: that he says they investigated me for years and found nothing.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Right as he was as he had already been convicted
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: and spent fourteen months in jail the first time out,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: and he's a waiting trial this time out.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, so as to And then this came between an
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: attempt that didn't kill him and then the attempt that did.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: In the note he says he it wasn't suicide. Well,
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: he attempted it once, wrote this note, and then succeeded.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: It succeeded.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: He also wrote, if he wrote it, it's a treat
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: No fun, not worth it? All right, you know, I
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: don't get the importance, but I think you make the point.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I think that's the only reason anything Epstein is noteworthy
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: these days. All right, we're done, We're back again tomorrow.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Mario has been with us. Does Cono come back tomorrow
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: or you're with us again? Mario Conna will be here tomorrow. Okay,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: fair enough, And so I say goodbye. We say goodbye,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Amy and Will Cole Schreiber. They're here from five to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: six wake up call, and then Neil and I come
