  Speaker 2: You have a pig heart? No, I have a pig valve,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: No, it's not. Valves are not hearts.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Valves are your parents didn't love you and you're still
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: make up for it. I just can't.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: They didn't.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: They realized very early on as a little tiny baby.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Although I wasn't tiny, I was born enormous by the way.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: It that's why your mother hated you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was in.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Labor for twenty four hours. Those were in days when
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: c sections were up and down and not across. They
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: actually used to do sea sections vertically and she had
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: a sea section scar basically from her neck all the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: way down.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I'd hate you too, And then he talked early. He
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: came right out and went.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Why, yeah, it was. It was a rough labor, it
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: really was. And it was. It was in Brazil some Paula,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: which you know and not to some Paula was a
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: backwards country. But there was some issues. Uh there was
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: a witch doctor that actually delivered me with he put
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: to the chicken blood at the corners. He cut off
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: a chicken's head and was dancing around the delivery room
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: and hey, yeah, and uh there was it was.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It was good.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: A lot of feathers boone through the nose. I mean
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: those are the doctors. Okay, Uh, that's let us start
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: if we will. All right, it's time for Handle on
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the News on this Thursday morning, August thirteenth. As we
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: begin the show, late story, Carolyn Lovett is stepping down
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: as the White House Press Secretary, and this was announced
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: by the president, and she is very close. Not one
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: of those where the resident is firing her. I'm sure
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: he's not very happy about that. And she said, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: he said, it's to let her spend more time with
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: her family. She has, I think a two year old,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and then she has just a baby that was born
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: a couple of months ago and came back from maternity leave.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: And it's just it's a tough job. Her job is
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: almost impossible. The press secretary's job is a twenty four
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to seven job. It is very difficult to do. Also,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong on this one.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: How do you stand in front of the press day
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: after day after day an utter lie after lie. A
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: lot of press secretary does not to that extent.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Every press secretary.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: So let me ask you this. Okay, Let's say the
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: stock market goes down four hundred points and this press
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: secretary stands up and goes the stock market is up
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: four hundred pounds or four See, that's the problem. We're
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: not talking about spinning, We're not talking about obfuscating. We're
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: talking about straight out inflation is down.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: President Biden is top fit and ready to go. That
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: is they all they all have to garbage. I get
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that he's unique. He's a unique brand of I'm.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Telling you, telling you I had a you know, Biden.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I mean there, that's true. You know there was a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: time when press secretary is actually told some truth. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: mean they spun it. Of course there was spin on it,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: but not just making stuff up out a whole cloth.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: And if I remember correctly again and not that spin
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: did it? Did Carol Levitt or press secretary of Joe
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Biden say the doctors determined he is the most fit
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: president in the history of the United States? Did you
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: hear that?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Because nobody is more hyperbolic than the Orange Man. However, Uh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: they all spin. That's when you start getting off. It's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: beyond spinning. I'm sorry, guys, it's beyond spinning. You can't
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: argue it's it's taken spin to another level. I just
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: have a hard time with any press secretary the president
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: is uh, we had they never said fit. Maybe they did,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But if cognizant doesn't have a problem with Biden, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: yeah he was, the inner circle was worried sick about
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the president, and they were covering up how how horribly
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Biden was doing.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I get that but it's just uh, this one. I'll
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: tell you what my problem is is Karen Levitt stands
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: up and it's raining outside, and she says, the sun
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: is shining. That's the problem I have. The stock market
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: is up, it's not inflation. Is thou under control? And
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: prices are lower than they have ever been? You view
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: out a spin? Okay, moving on, kneel I couldn't hear you.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, I said, you get up every morning and tell
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: us that the sky is falling and we're all dying.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: That's true, I do, but I am not the press
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: secretary because no one believes me. No one believes me. Okay,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: let's move on.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: LA doesn't want to get stuck with the bill, so
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: the city council has a new deal with the organizers
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: of the twenty twenty eight Summer Games to hopefully control
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: the city's costs. The council improved the Enhanced City Resources
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Master Agreement big title lays out the process for the
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: city to get reimbursed for services provided during the games.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: But still some on the council are warning that taxpayers
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: could wind up on the hook for a billion dollars
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: in police and other public safety costs if LA twenty
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: eight incurs serious losses.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Well, according to this story that the city is going
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to only go to losses up at two hundred and seventy.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: No, the city council said they could not wind up
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: on the hook for a billion dollars in police and
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: public safety costs, particularly if the President comes to La
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: to open the games.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: What if the president comes?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, if the president opens the games, the security
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: based on the risks and based on the threats against
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: this president, particularly because the threats I think are far
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: greater with Donald Trump than any other president for a
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: long long time. That is going to increase the secure
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: purity triple. And that happens across the board. I mean,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: this is a tough time for a president to go
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: public in any sense. It's just the security is just
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: completely crazy. You have to be I mean the risks,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, look at this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Haven't they planned for him? Like presidents always show up
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: for like McCrone was in France.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes they do, Usually they do. Usually they open
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: the games. I don't know did Putin open the games
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: in Moscow? Did he say I now declare the whatever
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: olympiad opened? Uh? I know he was at opening ceremonies
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: where he's sat.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Don't don't they doesn't the head of the IOC declare
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: the games opening.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: No, No head of state declares that open. Yeah, it's uh.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And the security is going to be crazy. It's going
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to reach levels that we don't even know, and so
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it's uh. There's that two hundred and six seventy million
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: dollars contingency fund was set up by LA twenty eight
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: that's going to be used. Anything above that goes to
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: the state. Uh, it's going to be pretty expensive stuff
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: to say the lead.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Do you think he's gonna want to medal?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it'll be.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Gold medals.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: His base off.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: He's going to walk around the entire Olympic Games.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: With medals bronze, silver, and Trump.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: He's pushing people off the podium. Mine.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I was going to do the gymnastics, but I sprained
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: an ankle.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: You see, Amy, you were you were about to hit
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: me because I was. But to say an anti Trump
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: statement about that, it didn't. It was just recognizing the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: security levels of security that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm sure that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is I think that they've already
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: planned for that contingency because you're right, it's the head
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: of state of the host country is who declares the
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: games open.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's take a break. We're coming back.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: A M six forty.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Let's do it more. Handle on the news, Amy and
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Neil and me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: The eighth largest powerball jackpot in history was one just
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: yesterday night by a single ticket in Illinois. So the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: winning balls, who cares what they were, but the number
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: then they have the power play multiplier, which was the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: number two. But the final ticket sales pushed the final
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: jackpot to one point zero four billion, making it the
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: largest powerball prize one this year.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And in Illinois, which makes a lot of sense. The
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: winner can remain anonymous. How in states where the winter
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: is made public is completely insane.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand that. Why don't you want to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: do that? It's like target on something.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get it. I don't you know. The
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: biggest one was here or southern California. I guess some
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: guy won that two billion dollar one, and I think
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: he ended up buying a place out in Malibu for
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: forty four million dollars. Oh yeah, remember that one.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: He bought a place in the Hollywood Hill. Yeah, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I believe he bought was it an Alta dinner? He
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: one of I think he lost one of his homes
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: in the fires.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Didn't he buy Alta Dina?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Oh? Boy? But a crazy about. The only way I'd
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: want to want win that much money is so I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: could treat you like a peon.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Oh is if you don't already all right?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: No, but like I would be able to go. Oh,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I would get the four houses too on both sides
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: of you, knock them down and build a palace. Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That was to look down on you.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: And if I want anywhere near that kind of money,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you would be listening to my assistance. Assistant assistant, do this,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: show your harem, your forth and fifth wife.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: We got a special circumstance. Prosecutors unsealed a murder indictment
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: against Nick Reiner in the deadly stabbing of his parents,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Rob and Michelle Rhiner. You remember that happened last December
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: at their home in Brentwood after a holiday party. The
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: new indictment replaces the original murder counts filed late last year,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: and it includes the allegation that he was lying in wait,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: which is a special circumstance that makes him subject to
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: either life without parole or possibly the death penalty.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one or the other. That's a special circumstance.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: He's going to get life imprisonment without parole because there's
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: too many issues going on with his mental state. This
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: is not just a cold blooded killer who is going
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: around killing people. I mean, obviously there's some huge issues.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: And it's if he's convicted, which it looks like he is,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: the defense will argue for life imprisonment because of his
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: mental issues, and I think it's going to fly.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a whole lot of nuts. All right. So
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: we heard about the catering cart incident, the switching of
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the planes, all of that stuff with the president. The
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: other day, US intelligence officials were skeptical, apparently of an
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Iranian assassination threat against President Donald Trump. It was relayed
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to the US Powers that Be by Israel and prompted
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that extraordinary kind of cleandestine maneuver we were all talking about.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: But you know, another official reports that threats against Trump's
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: life that were Israeli derived, not US generated, we're you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: acted upon but with low confidence.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's what happens with intelligence. It doesn't say
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: this is going to happen. This is not going to happen.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: It's levels of confidence low, medium confidence, high confidence. And
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: this is Israel crying a lot of wolf anything to
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: get Trump on their side, and they're saying, hey, we
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: got some intelligence and we're basically going to save the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: president's life. Is effectively what they were saying. I'm surprised,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: and this was shoulder shoulder mounted missiles or rockets, these
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: stingers which go surface to air. I'm kind of surprised
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: that they haven't been used before to bring down planes
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: for heads of state, where we don't hear about that
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: all the time. Smuggling in one of these you can
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: do in a large suitcase. So anyway, did it happen?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: We don't have any anti missile defense on the Yeah,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: we do, of course one.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: There are some there are, but at what point and
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: how effective they are, that's that's completely secret. Now the
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: CIA and Secret Surface had to act on this even
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: with low level confidence. I mean, there's no choice. So
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: tomorrow I want to do a story on how this
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: was so unique, so unusual as to dealing with the president.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: There have been Bill Clinton took a secret flight George W.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Bush took a secret flight and didn't tell the press.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: There's a story about Putin. This is how he lives.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's story after story of how secret he
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: runs around. I think we're going to do that tomorrow.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: It's a great story. Okay, let's do one more and
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: we'll take a break.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Cracking down on animal cruelty. Animal and law enforcement officers
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: are going to be cracking down on illegal breeding and
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: animal sales in and around skid Row. It's part of
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: the Mayor's plan to prevent animal cruelty. So the LAPD
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: and LA Animal Services now have a permanent partnership and
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: they had some training, so now they're working together to
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: do this. The message from Mayor Bass is, our message
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: is clear. If you abuse, are a neglect an animal,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: you will be held accountable to the fullest extent of
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: the law.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's go ahead and take a break.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: You're listening to Bill Handled on demand from KFI AM
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: six forty.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: And we continue Handle on the news. Amy here is here,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Neil is here. I am not the am here, if
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: The Ukraine is limping along, they say with only a
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: tenth of the interceptor missiles it urgently needs from the
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: United States here to stop surging Russian ballistic missile attacks.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: And you know, Russia is not stupid. The ballistic attacks
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: have risen fast in recent weeks because you know, they
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: hit the capital of Kiv particularly hard, because they're exploiting
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the fact that Ukraine's near zero stocks of the Patriot
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: interceptor missiles are a huge achilles heel right now.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: And the story is is that, as zelenskis saying, if
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: the US sell's ten percent of its US patriots, then
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: they will be able to really fight Russia. The problem is,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know if how many US patriots are left
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: because of the story of how much of the stock
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: was used in the Iranian war and the war that's
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: going on, and we're getting all kinds of different takes
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: on this. Either we have tons of them, or we're
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: almost out, or somewhere in the middle.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I thought Europe was helping them as well.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Europe was helping them and is helping them because the
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: United States, from what I understand, for the last year,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: has not given them much of anything. And what they're
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: looking for specifically are this major missile system and the
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: problem is fighting drones, and Russia is quickly gaining a
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: tremendous ability to use drones coming in from North Korea.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Iran uses drones as helping Russia out. And Ukraine actually
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: is the best at drone technology in the world right now.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: And so thirty five thousand dollars you can launch a
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: very successful drone program that's per drone. These interception missiles
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: are four million dollars apiece. How is that for? You
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: fight thirty five million dollars, You fight thirty five thousand
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: dollars with four million dollars. That goes south pretty quickly.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: No big surprise.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Bessara's beating Steve Javier Basera still has a strong lead
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: over Republican Steve Hilton in the race to be the
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: next governor of California. Bessara has support from fifty five
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: percent of likely voters surveyed. Hilton has thirty seven percent.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: The remaining seven percent are undecided, And of course they're
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: falling along party lines pretty much. Eighty eight percent of
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Democrats prefer Basara. Ninety one percent of Republicans say that
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: they will back Hilton.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the problem for any Republican candidate here in
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: California is that Democrats are going to win, come hell
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: or high water, because the number of Democratic voters versus
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Republican voters, so we're the bluest of the blue states,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and so the I think Republicans have a very very
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: poor chance of grabbing anything other than those particular districts
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: in which there is a Republican stronghold, a couple of
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: them even. You know, traditionally red areas are now purple
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: in California.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: That's the color you get when you're choking and then
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: finally die. That's why AH got it. Well, the recent
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: wildfires causing all kinds of destruction here in southern California,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the last thing we need is betting on it. Apparently
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: turns out people are placing bets on wildfires on these
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: prediction markets sites like poly Market. I guess I don't
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: know much about these, not a big gambling man myself.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: And now California lawmakers are trying to crack down on
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: that because this is a massive trend, warning that those
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: bets could create incentive for arson, and I can I
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: can't argue with that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: How is it not going to create an incentive for arson?
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Is because you can bet on a fire starting. Oh yeah,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: go out there and start a fire. You've just won
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: the bet. Yeah, this is you know, I can see that.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: The problem is proving it. How do they know who's
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: going to start a fire, who isn't? So you just
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: don't bet on wildfire starting at all or who's going
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: to be killed. You can't do that many structures that Yeah,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Oh fun story.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: A new election denier, Mike Lindell. But my pillow guy
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: was running for governor of Minnesota and the Republican primary,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: but he lost by eleven percentage points, and he's not
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: conceding the race.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: He says that he believes two hundred and sixty five
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: thousand votes cast on election day had not yet been counted,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: and says that could push him into the lead. He says,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: there's two hundred and sixty five thousand votes left to count.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: I'm down by eighteen thousand. We just gained five thousand.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to give up this race until the
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: votes are counted.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Now this gets interesting. A couple questions I have is
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: number one two hundred and sixty five thousand votes? And
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: where did he get that figure? Because certainly the state
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: said no, nope, and the election official said, no, they
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: don't exist. Second of all, why did he only say
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty five thousand votes. Why didn't he
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: say twenty six point five million votes haven't been counted yet,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: and they're all for me. Well, because the population is
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: a third of that doesn't matter. It's I get these votes.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: And by the way, the election denier thing, he's always
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: been an election denier.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: But don't they just do the math and say you're
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: not going to there is no path to?
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Of course they do, of course they do. But then
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: he makes up a fit figure saying X number of
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: votes are they haven't counted? And where are they? It
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter you haven't counted them. There's there's nothing here.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately, I don't know how much we're hearing fixed,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: election rigged. I don't think we're hearing as much as
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I thought we were going to hear. And I think
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: at least we're getting reasonable or getting let's say more
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: reality is kicking in. But you got crazy people. Mike
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Lindell he lost his company basically because he's so crazy.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: He's so crazy.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Bad story, which is too bad because I like his pillows.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't buy a pillow, and that's the problem
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: because of Lindell. They could be the best pillows in
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: the world, and people just don't buy them because of
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: how crazy he is. And so here we go, I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: have I'm gonna win the election, and everybody goes, what
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: are you talking about? So no surprise there. All right,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: let's take a break. We will come back and we'll
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: finish up Handle on the News on this Thursday morning.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: AM six forty.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: It is a Thursday morning, August thirteenth, and we finish
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Handle on the News with Amy Neil and me.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: This is a special for you, Bill.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma, Alabama, and Tennessee are each planning to carry out
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: an execution on the same day, and that, my friend,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: is today.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now what I'm hoping is they do it in
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: subsequent time, you know, ten eighteen and then ten twenty
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: and then ten twenty two, and will pretend it's a
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: relay race and it's all way to go. Yees oh.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I would in an instant, if I, if I had
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: the ability to make the decision, I would put these
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: executions on a pay per view and the money goes
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: to whatever program anti crime program, and how much money
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: do you think it would raise? How much would people
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: pay to see at execution?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: And before this is the first, by the way, to
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: have this triple execution on the same day on three
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: different states, will be the first such triple execution in
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the country in sixteen years. But before you right us
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: or send a talk back about how horror well we're being,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Alabama is planning to execute Jeremy Williams by lethal injection
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: today for the twenty twenty one rape and murder of
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: a five year old girl.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. By the people who are against the death penalty
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: say things like everybody can be rehabilitated. The only ones
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: that I actually pay attention to is morally, the state
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: should not put people to death. Wrong, I have no
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: problem with the state putting people to death. Oh a
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: quick factoid. California when it did the gate, when it
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: had the gas chamber, they could do two at the
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: same time, do a double hit, and they're right next
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: to each other, like a pilot and a co pilot
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: in a fighter plane, right next to each other. And
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: I think there are a couple of times when we
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: did the double hit.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: The other murder was two thousand and three murder of
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: the guy's common law wife. These were all women, by
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: the way. Yeah yeah, well females, five year old girls,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: not a woman, but that's just horrific. Then Tennessee is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: putting down a winning human for the death in nineteen
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: eighty five murder of a mother of four. Yeah great, huh, So.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Taylor Farms takes another hit. These guys can't catch a break.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: So Taylor Farms, of course dealing with the cyclost bariasis
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: outbreak from that lettuce that was sourced out of Sineloa, Mexico.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Now they've got a recall going because of jalapenos that
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: are tainted with or possibly tainted with salmonella. We mentioned
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: last week that they were sold at Chipotle's in Minnesota,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: so they took them off the menu, and then Kedoba's
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: took them off the menu.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Well, now they are.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Doing recalls in twenty seven states. Had products that have
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: jalapenos in them at Kroger's, Targets, Trader Joe's, Walmart's, Whole Foods,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Hannaford Stopping Shop. The only good news in all of
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: this is it does not affect stores in California.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean, here's a question I want to
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: ask you yet. Yeah, all of these taken off the menu.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: When is Taylor Farmers going to be taken out of often?
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking too.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but I love their salads.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Well, oh, well, enjoy it's you'll lose some weight. I
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: think it's cute that in the break room now at
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Taylor Farms, they have a science says, let us not
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: poop on the produce. It lettuce is spelled like lettuce.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's very team building. All right. Assembly Bill
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: eight seventeen and Senate Bill seven sixteen would hold certain
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: businesses like lineage to higher standards. So, of course lineage.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: We've been hearing about that massive warehouse fire boil Heights
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: since it began nearly two months ago. So the fire
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: there at the warehouse broke out on June seventeenth. Millions
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: of pounds of rotting food remained, futrid odors, flies, pests
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: and all that it attracted. And now they're looking for ways.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: If you're going to operate near community like this, you
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: have the responsibility to take care of that community. And
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: you know, time tide, I know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Lineage is getting nailed for this. Oh and my question
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: is what have they done to clean this up? Is
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: have they acted reasonably that a company of this size,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: under these circumstances, there's been a reasonable attempt to clean
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: it up, or have they just fallen by the wayside
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: and not I have done its job, which it should do.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: And I haven't heard that story yet, Amy, I haven't
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: heard a report on that yet.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Well, they're cleaning it up. They've got ninety percent of
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: the food out. They had more than eighty five million pounds.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: And that's the point. That's the point I'm making. What
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: more can be done? If they're doing everything reasonable? You know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: for example recalls. All right, you have a car that's recalled,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: and there's eight hundred thousand of them been recalled, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: your car happens to be seven hundred thousand, nine hundred
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: and ninety nine. Oh my god, I'm three years away.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Look what you're doing to me? Well, what's reasonable? If
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: you've got eight hundred thousand, someone's got to be at
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: the back end. And the point is, when you have
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: this kind of cleanup, something has to not be cleaned
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: up until the back end.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know for the community big time, and there's
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: good people. They're Boil Heights. It's a great community. However,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I think that the politicians don't know how to have
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: hand a list, and they're just pointing fingers at the
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: company and it's going.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: And again, I would like to know what the company
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: has done.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: They wanted to rebuild, and Bass was saying, how dare
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: you asked to rebuild them? And then I thought, well,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't that mean cleaning it up as fast as you
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: can and getting a structure back there? Who put who
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: allowed the license to be able to have a factory
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: or a warehouse that close to a community.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Then well it could be that that that that business
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: was there before the community uh even went to that
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: area that it was it was open land when when
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: the company first started. Happens all the time. You know
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Fullerton for example, you remember when the uh the tower
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: went down, uh the KFI tower. Uh? Oh yeah, airplane
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: went into the tower. Remember that. And by the way,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: that plane very few people know about this, but that
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: plane was actually chartered by KBC uh and was purposely
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: people that died. Jackass, Okay, well you can't argue too soon.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: This happened years ago and then it fell down again
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: because the company screwed up that did it. But the
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: point is Fullerton Airport went completely nuts with the neighborhood
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: and it was there before the neighborhood was that airport.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: So what do you do with that? Okay, we're done.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Guys coming up, chatbots tell you where they're hitting. How
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: about writing your laws and the chatbots are doing it? Okay,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: we'll come back with that. Kf I am sixty.
