- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listenings KFI AM six forty the bill Handles show
- 0:04Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio five AM six forty bill Handle. Here.
- 0:24Speaker 1: It is a Monday morning, June twenty ninth, and hol
- 0:27Speaker 1: a lot going on. We just about this time in June,
- 0:32Speaker 1: sort of the last week before the Supreme Court goes
- 0:36Speaker 1: on their vacation. God, not a bad deal. They leave
- 0:41Speaker 1: now and they come back first Monday in October. That
- 0:44Speaker 1: ain't a bad gig, all right, And of course you
- 0:47Speaker 1: get paid for that too, don't we wish? And so
- 0:50Speaker 1: a couple of cases have come down anti Trump cases,
- 0:55Speaker 1: but they were they're easy to figure it out. If
- 0:59Speaker 1: the court had on pro Trump, it would have been
- 1:01Speaker 1: absolutely extraordinary. The big one that just came down, and
- 1:05Speaker 1: the big one is that California and other states, particularly California,
- 1:12Speaker 1: has the rule about mail in ballots that allows the
- 1:16Speaker 1: ballots to be counted mail in ballots a week up
- 1:20Speaker 1: to a week after election day. And of course the
- 1:23Speaker 1: administration and conservatives are saying, no, no, everything has to
- 1:28Speaker 1: arrive by election day. Why well, because mail in ballots
- 1:32Speaker 1: mainly are Democrat, and people walking into the ballot box
- 1:39Speaker 1: are generally or have been generally Republican, so let's make
- 1:43Speaker 1: sure which by the way, everybody does that is to
- 1:45Speaker 1: make it as advantagious for us as possible. And so
- 1:49Speaker 1: there were the lawsuits were filed by the administration and
- 1:54Speaker 1: Republicans and in California to undo that law about melee
- 2:01Speaker 1: in ballots and counted within a week, and the court
- 2:04Speaker 1: just came down against the administration.
- 2:06Speaker 2: But we knew that was going to happen.
- 2:08Speaker 1: The Constitution is so clear it is the states that
- 2:12Speaker 1: make the decisions in terms of election law and in
- 2:17Speaker 1: terms of how to run the election. It's in the constitution.
- 2:19Speaker 1: It is clear. There are no exceptions, and so for
- 2:23Speaker 1: the court to have gone the other way, it seems
- 2:26Speaker 1: almost impossible. You're going to see the same thing happen
- 2:30Speaker 1: with birthright citizenship.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I don't know where the Court's going to go with
- 2:33Speaker 2: that one, because.
- 2:34Speaker 1: It is clear cut in the Constitution, and so for
- 2:39Speaker 1: the court to have gone the other way, it doesn't
- 2:41Speaker 1: make any sense.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Now they have.
- 2:43Speaker 1: The Court has gone in favor of Trump in a
- 2:46Speaker 1: number of different cases. For example, the administration deciding how
- 2:51Speaker 1: the rules of asylum work, where the administration is stopping
- 2:55Speaker 1: people from coming into the country to claim asylum, they
- 2:58Speaker 1: have to do it outside they and allowing or even
- 3:02Speaker 1: mandating folks with ice to make the initial decision as
- 3:07Speaker 1: to asylum.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Well, the executive makes that decision.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And the Court said, it's the executive that makes that decision.
- 3:14Speaker 2: And that's pretty clear cut. And we're still waiting for cases.
- 3:18Speaker 1: How much presidential power exists with independent agencies even though
- 3:23Speaker 1: for example, the FED, the FED chairman and I think
- 3:28Speaker 1: as well as the governors are appointed by the president.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Is it an independent agency where the president can't fire
- 3:36Speaker 1: people Willy Nilly? And I don't know how many people
- 3:40Speaker 1: are named Willy Dilly on the FED, but it would
- 3:44Speaker 1: be kind of interesting. So the bottom line and the
- 3:47Speaker 1: story is that the Supreme Court is about as sharply
- 3:50Speaker 1: divided as it has been in decades, maybe a couple
- 3:54Speaker 1: of generations. The Court is six to three, as you know,
- 3:59Speaker 1: conservative majority. It has not been this this not the
- 4:05Speaker 1: length that the length, but it hasn't been this conservative, well,
- 4:11Speaker 1: probably since the seventies. And when the seventies he had,
- 4:15Speaker 1: you had the war in court just finishing up, and
- 4:19Speaker 1: the late sixties seventies of freedom of religion was according
- 4:23Speaker 1: to the Republicans stamped down because separation of church and
- 4:26Speaker 1: state was expanded. You had First Amendment rights, pornography was expanded,
- 4:32Speaker 1: you had defendants criminal rights or alleged criminals. They were
- 4:39Speaker 1: given expanded rights, miranda, all of those rulings, and so
- 4:43Speaker 1: it could be.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Argued that was a very liberal court, and it was.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And here we are with a very conservative court that's
- 4:51Speaker 1: going the other way.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Now.
- 4:54Speaker 1: To keep in mind that Franklin Roosevelt, by the time
- 4:58Speaker 1: he was out, he had non dominated every judge on
- 5:01Speaker 1: the Supreme Court.
- 5:04Speaker 2: He had nine appointees.
- 5:06Speaker 1: And because he was a president for so long, and
- 5:10Speaker 1: now you have President Trump who has been able in
- 5:14Speaker 1: one term to have gotten three judges. And that is
- 5:18Speaker 1: almost impossible because there are presidents that go through in
- 5:22Speaker 1: their entire eight years without a nomination. So, of course,
- 5:26Speaker 1: when you have a president who is a Republican, a
- 5:30Speaker 1: president who is super conservative, or at least wants the
- 5:33Speaker 1: super conservatives beyond his side, I don't know how conservative
- 5:36Speaker 1: Trump actually is. I don't think Trump is ideological at all.
- 5:40Speaker 1: The only ideology has is to himself. If he could
- 5:45Speaker 1: get a Maga like movement on the Democratic side, he'd
- 5:50Speaker 1: be there. There's no question in my mind. So the
- 5:53Speaker 1: court is going in some cases for Trump, in other
- 5:58Speaker 1: cases not. But the bottom line is where the constitution
- 6:03Speaker 1: is pretty clear, he's going to lose as he tries
- 6:06Speaker 1: to unknow the constitution. I can't wait for lawsuits to
- 6:10Speaker 1: hit that. The twenty second Amendment limiting presidents to two
- 6:16Speaker 1: terms gets attacked closer to twenty twenty eight, I guarantee
- 6:20Speaker 1: you there will be lawsuits to invalidate the twenty second Amendment.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Guaranteed as well.
- 6:27Speaker 1: I have all kinds of theories about that, and just
- 6:31Speaker 1: I can't wait for that to come up. It's going
- 6:33Speaker 1: to be a really well this cycle is going to
- 6:35Speaker 1: be fascinating. One of the things about President Trump, boy
- 6:38Speaker 1: has he changed America in a big, big way and
- 6:43Speaker 1: change it, whether you think for the good or the bad.
- 6:46Speaker 1: His influence is going to go on for generations in
- 6:52Speaker 1: addition to being the king maker.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Okay, enough of that.
- 6:58Speaker 1: In the meantime, I know if you've watched the news,
- 7:01Speaker 1: which of course you have, Europe is in the middle
- 7:04Speaker 1: of the hottest heat spell I think they've ever had
- 7:07Speaker 1: on record. I mean, France, people are dying like crazy
- 7:12Speaker 1: because they're jumping into the water to cool off and
- 7:14Speaker 1: drowning on rivers and lakes. You know what's missing in Europe.
- 7:20Speaker 1: You know what they don't have in Europe. What they
- 7:23Speaker 1: don't have is air conditioning. It just doesn't exist wide
- 7:29Speaker 1: because Europe doesn't have heat waves, or didn't, and it's
- 7:33Speaker 1: simply not part of their culture. You buy a house
- 7:37Speaker 1: and go to rent an apartment, they don't know from
- 7:40Speaker 1: air conditioning. They don't France, for example, you know that
- 7:44Speaker 1: wonderful view of Paris that you get from the Eiffel
- 7:47Speaker 1: Tower or whatever. Are the black roofs. Those are ten roofs.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Those are ovens where the heat comes in. And the
- 7:58Speaker 1: authorities want to keep the skyline of Paris the same,
- 8:02Speaker 1: so you don't get rid of them, they don't let you.
- 8:06Speaker 1: And so air conditioning, well, just give me an idea.
- 8:08Speaker 1: We're ninety percent air conditioning in this country. Ninety percent
- 8:12Speaker 1: of us that own homes or rent apartments, own buildings
- 8:17Speaker 1: have air conditioning. In France, it's in Europe it's less
- 8:20Speaker 1: than ten percent, and people are dying like crazy. And
- 8:26Speaker 1: central air that doesn't exist because just the buildings don't
- 8:31Speaker 1: allow central air because a lot of buildings are three
- 8:33Speaker 1: hundred years old, four hundred years.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Old and central air.
- 8:37Speaker 1: You know thatcting goes through the walls and through the roof,
- 8:42Speaker 1: and we do that because our housing is relatively new.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I mean, you go to Europe and you go to
- 8:49Speaker 1: any major city. You go to Paris, you go to Rome, Verona,
- 8:54Speaker 1: you're seeing houses that are three four hundred years old.
- 8:58Speaker 2: That's sort of a given.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Even electricity is sort of mickey mouse in there where
- 9:05Speaker 1: it doesn't go through the walls. So people are dying
- 9:10Speaker 1: like crazy, and there's a move to get air conditioning
- 9:12Speaker 1: going and good time to be in air conditioning in Europe,
- 9:16Speaker 1: by the way, it's a very good time to have
- 9:19Speaker 1: an air conditioning company, and so it's part of what
- 9:22Speaker 1: we do. When's the last time you heard of an
- 9:24Speaker 1: apartment or a home that does not have central air
- 9:29Speaker 1: or at least window units if you're poor.
- 9:33Speaker 3: You know what funny is I grew up without air conditioning.
- 9:37Speaker 3: And my mother still in her home, does not have
- 9:40Speaker 3: air conditioning. I know, but I've never ever thought of it.
- 9:46Speaker 3: And where does and where does she live? She's in
- 9:50Speaker 3: Canao Valley where it gets pretty warm. It can, but
- 9:55Speaker 3: you also have coming up with the over the Santa
- 9:57Speaker 3: Monica Mountains. There you have the ocean coming up.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Yeah, Santa Monica, you probably don't need it. Santa Monica
- 10:03Speaker 1: is a place where air conditioning is fairly optional.
- 10:06Speaker 2: There are plenty of buildings that don't have it, but they're.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Going to because heat waves also hit them, hit our beaches.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Another thing to look out for in the LA area
- 10:15Speaker 3: if you ever are renting and you see a sign
- 10:18Speaker 3: that says for rent old world charm, that means no
- 10:22Speaker 3: air conditioning.
- 10:23Speaker 2: I know, and it's.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, you know what we're thinking, as
- 10:29Speaker 1: you know, when I'm dead and done and retire from
- 10:33Speaker 1: this program, because it's only going to be thirty four
- 10:37Speaker 1: years I think coming up next month. We've already figured
- 10:42Speaker 1: out we're gonna live a part time at least in Verona.
- 10:46Speaker 1: It ain't gonna be summertime. I'll tell you that that's
- 10:50Speaker 1: not going to happen.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Wow.
- 10:53Speaker 1: No air conditioning in Europe. No air conditioning for you.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Bite.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Okay, here's a question. Twenty twenty eight is advance is
- 11:05Speaker 1: it Rubio for president? Right now they're head to head
- 11:10Speaker 1: and both looking for the president to endorse, and the
- 11:15Speaker 1: president being this president waits till the last second for
- 11:19Speaker 1: virtually everything. That's how he does business. I mean, for
- 11:23Speaker 1: those people that think he doesn't think thing through and
- 11:26Speaker 1: he's out of his mind, look at his history. He
- 11:30Speaker 1: does business that way and says, hey, this is what
- 11:35Speaker 1: makes me a valuable and a really effective business person
- 11:39Speaker 1: as well as president.
- 11:41Speaker 2: You have to sort of live with it.
- 11:43Speaker 1: So you have two people that are right now front runners,
- 11:47Speaker 1: I mean right now front runners. That doesn't necessarily mean
- 11:51Speaker 1: that one or two of them are going to be
- 11:53Speaker 1: on the ticket. Let's go back to two thousand and eight.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton had the nomination, it was done, and then
- 12:01Speaker 1: this guy by the name of it, Barack Obama, came
- 12:04Speaker 1: onto the scene and somehow got the nomination. So we
- 12:09Speaker 1: don't know who's going to be the nominee, whether it's Vance,
- 12:12Speaker 1: whether it's Rubio. Is it going to be someone that
- 12:16Speaker 1: the president endorses. Probably this president has more influence among
- 12:23Speaker 1: certainly the Republicans in this country and certainly amongst Mega
- 12:28Speaker 1: Mega members. One of the things about the MAGA supporters
- 12:31Speaker 1: is they are more engaged than any of their group.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I mean they go out and they truly have the engagement.
- 12:42Speaker 1: I mean they'll walk precincts until they drop dead. And
- 12:46Speaker 1: so Trump is going to be the king maker, I think.
- 12:51Speaker 1: And so the general consensus is how much of the
- 12:57Speaker 1: endorsement is going to influence.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Well quite a bit.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I mean this is the game of apprentice, and the
- 13:03Speaker 1: president still feels he has plenty of time to decide
- 13:06Speaker 1: which he does now, Both Fance and Rubio said, oh, no,
- 13:11Speaker 1: we haven't decided to run for higher office. That's like
- 13:15Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom kept on saying, oh, no, I'm not going
- 13:17Speaker 1: to run for the presidency, and then under his breath, Co.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Says, but should be us. Of course they're going to
- 13:22Speaker 2: run for the presidency.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I mean we all do that, and it is incumbent
- 13:26Speaker 1: upon people who are in office in other offices governor, senator,
- 13:32Speaker 1: et cetera. When everybody knows he or she is going
- 13:35Speaker 1: to run. No, I'm not going to run. For example,
- 13:38Speaker 1: Van says he's focused on helping Republicans win in November
- 13:43Speaker 1: and he wants to do a good job of the
- 13:44Speaker 1: vice presidency. No, I'm not interested in the presidency, okay.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Mark Rubio says the same thing, No, not particularly interested
- 13:52Speaker 1: in the presidency. Well, I mean that is a croc
- 13:55Speaker 1: and usually here's where the betting is going to come
- 13:59Speaker 1: come into play. When is one or the other or
- 14:03Speaker 1: both going to announce their nomination. As of right now
- 14:08Speaker 1: this moment, it looks like Vance would probably take it.
- 14:12Speaker 2: But are you ready for this?
- 14:14Speaker 1: How much do you think Vance is ahead of Marco Rubio?
- 14:19Speaker 1: A Pew Research poll just came out amongst Republicans. No,
- 14:25Speaker 1: it's an Emerson College survey of Republican voters that came
- 14:28Speaker 1: out in May. Vance had thirty six percent absolute support.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Rubio had thirty five percent absolute support.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Yep.
- 14:40Speaker 1: So the other thing about Trump is he believes in
- 14:44Speaker 1: public sentiment. He is really concentrated on where the public
- 14:49Speaker 1: is leaning one way or the other. As a matter
- 14:51Speaker 1: of fact, when it comes to decisions, much like any
- 14:55Speaker 1: decision to put someone in the cabinet, someone into a
- 14:57Speaker 1: position of power that only needs Senate confirmation or even not,
- 15:03Speaker 1: he asks is inner circle, what do you think of
- 15:05Speaker 1: this guy? What do you think of her? How do
- 15:09Speaker 1: you think this is going to play out? And among
- 15:13Speaker 1: This is mainly amongst MAGA supporters, certainly not in terms
- 15:16Speaker 1: of Democrats. No matter what Trump does amongst Democrats ain't
- 15:20Speaker 1: going to happen at all okay, all.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Right, I'm going to give you a story.
- 15:25Speaker 1: And there is a congregation of Catholic Dominican Sisters that
- 15:31Speaker 1: was founded in nineteen hundred, the Servants of Relief for
- 15:36Speaker 1: Incurable Cancer still working there and it is out of
- 15:41Speaker 1: the Rosary Hill Home, a forty two bed nursing facility.
- 15:45Speaker 1: This is in New York. And the sisters see their
- 15:48Speaker 1: work as part of the healing ministry of Christ. And
- 15:52Speaker 1: they dedicate their lives to the goal to make whoever
- 15:55Speaker 1: crosses their door feel as comfortable and happy as if
- 15:59Speaker 1: their own. People like them and give them the very
- 16:03Speaker 1: best bedroom, offering palliative services free of charge, accepting neither
- 16:09Speaker 1: government funding and not insurance. And so they're pretty neat
- 16:14Speaker 1: this organization. And it's a private organization, it's not government funded.
- 16:19Speaker 1: So I couldn't be more in favor of this and
- 16:22Speaker 1: these these sisters. I mean to help people who are
- 16:26Speaker 1: dying and give palliative care. We are moving in that
- 16:29Speaker 1: direction as a society. And that is in their last uh,
- 16:34Speaker 1: in the last the timeline of people dying. We're getting
- 16:39Speaker 1: away from heroic measures keep me alive, no matter what
- 16:43Speaker 1: the reality is, is simply accepting death. As something that
- 16:47Speaker 1: is part of life and we're not good at it. Well,
- 16:50Speaker 1: these these sisters are saying, accept death as part of life,
- 16:55Speaker 1: and we're going to make it as comfortable as you can.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Palliative care, Okay.
- 17:01Speaker 1: They receive three letters from the state Health Department saying
- 17:05Speaker 1: that the sisters are not complying with the provisions of
- 17:09Speaker 1: a Bill of Rights for LGPTQ IA plus New Yorkers
- 17:16Speaker 1: and the governor sign that bill, Kathy Hochel in twenty
- 17:20Speaker 1: twenty three and what The text of the letter says
- 17:25Speaker 1: that long care facilities must use a patient's preferred pronouns
- 17:32Speaker 1: while they're dying, and they call themselves mister.
- 17:36Speaker 2: You can't use that. You cannot.
- 17:40Speaker 1: You have to call them, refer to them as they're accepted,
- 17:46Speaker 1: or the pronoun that they want. I want there, I
- 17:49Speaker 1: don't want, I don't want you. I don't want mister,
- 17:54Speaker 1: I don't want miss. I am binary. The sister say, no,
- 18:01Speaker 1: we're going to call you what you are. This is
- 18:04Speaker 1: God had you create, create, created you as a male,
- 18:08Speaker 1: and that's who you are. And we, frankly don't give
- 18:10Speaker 1: a damn whether you think you should go in the
- 18:12Speaker 1: men's or women's bathroom.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Also, you're dying, so I don't think that's very important. Now.
- 18:18Speaker 1: The reality is is is has anybody ever complained when
- 18:22Speaker 1: they're dying? No?
- 18:24Speaker 2: But Hochel. Is that Hochl or Hochel? I think it's Hokel.
- 18:29Speaker 1: She said that the law is meant to ensure hate
- 18:33Speaker 1: will never have a place in New York. Catholic nuns
- 18:38Speaker 1: who give palliative care to people who are dying to
- 18:45Speaker 1: make their death more comfortable. If you don't use their name,
- 18:51Speaker 1: self identified name, or pronoun, then you are in violation
- 18:56Speaker 1: of the law, and that is hate. And we're not
- 19:00Speaker 1: going to have hate in New York. I mean, you
- 19:04Speaker 1: talk about political correctness to a level that I just
- 19:08Speaker 1: don't understand.
- 19:10Speaker 2: I really don't.
- 19:12Speaker 1: So the argument is, is this legal harassment? Hell?
- 19:17Speaker 2: Yes, this is legal harassment? All right?
- 19:20Speaker 1: Before we go, Oh, Neil, why don't you do it now?
- 19:23Speaker 1: The Dodgers. The announcement about the Dodgers.

- 20:04Speaker 1: of church and state, and I feel pretty strongly about this.
- 20:07Speaker 1: And in law school we went through a lot of this.
- 20:11Speaker 1: And so let me tell you what Texas did on Friday.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Oh boy, if you are interested in practicing non Christianity

- 20:27Speaker 1: tough one. And I'll explain what just came down in Texas.

- 20:34Speaker 1: with that. Oh and by the way, for those of
- 20:36Speaker 1: you that are religious, you're gonna hate me even more,
- 20:38Speaker 1: if that's possible. I don't know if can I be
- 20:42Speaker 1: hated even more Neil than what's going on right there.
- 20:45Speaker 3: I'm personally preparing myself to hate you more. And about
- 20:48Speaker 3: okay seven.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Yeah, and more people are gonna hate me or will
- 20:53Speaker 1: have the ability to hate me, or have I reached
- 20:55Speaker 1: critical mass where it doesn't matter what no there's always
- 20:59Speaker 1: room for more. Okay, thanks Will, Okay, I'll do that. Texas,
