Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
- 0:04Speaker 1: six forty KFI.
- 0:06Speaker 2: AM six forty Bill Handle Here, good morning, it's a Tuesday.
- 0:11Speaker 1: It is June ninth. Today. We have a modified group here.
- 0:17Speaker 2: That is Amy is out for a couple of weeks,
- 0:21Speaker 2: Neil comes back on Monday, and comes back on Monday,
- 0:27Speaker 2: Nobody filling in for Neil, Heather filling in for Amy,
- 0:31Speaker 2: and Michelle filling in for Ann.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Okay, that pretty much is it, isn't it? All right?
- 0:37Speaker 2: As I said prior to the break, I have an
- 0:40Speaker 2: equation for you, and it's not that complicated.
- 0:45Speaker 1: And may want to write this down.
- 0:46Speaker 2: This is a mathematical equation in the world of politics,
- 0:50Speaker 2: and here it is Democrats when equals fraud, Republicans win
- 0:58Speaker 2: equal fair election. And if you don't think that's the case,
- 1:03Speaker 2: let's just look at what just happened in our primary
- 1:09Speaker 2: with three people running, three major players running for mayor.
- 1:15Speaker 2: One Karen Bass who won the primary. She's up in
- 1:20Speaker 2: the general election as one of the finalists because we
- 1:23Speaker 2: have two in California, and the top two vote getters,
- 1:27Speaker 2: notwithstanding party, get in. All right, the real fight was
- 1:31Speaker 2: Nithia Rahman, Democrat, communist, let's just say, very left wing progressive, socialist, progressive.
- 1:39Speaker 2: She calls herself Spencer Pratt, independent but mainly Republican, who
- 1:44Speaker 2: had the backing, not the endorsement, the backing of President Trump.
- 1:48Speaker 1: So here's what happens. The day of the election.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Spencer Pratt was ahead Suspanchia substantially, and all of a sudden,
- 2:01Speaker 2: as the mail in ballots come in and the vote changes,
- 2:06Speaker 2: there is fraud when the Democrat gets more votes. Because
- 2:11Speaker 2: the way it works in California, it's probably the easiest
- 2:16Speaker 2: place in the country to vote. First of all, mail
- 2:19Speaker 2: in ballots are available and are sent out to everybody
- 2:22Speaker 2: who is registered to vote. You have to show idea
- 2:25Speaker 2: to vote or to register but not to vote. And
- 2:29Speaker 2: the time that can be spent or the time that
- 2:35Speaker 2: is allowed for the vote vote to be counted is
- 2:37Speaker 2: pretty expansive. If, for example, a mail in ballot is
- 2:41Speaker 2: postmarked by midnight the election day, is what happened to me.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I sent it out very late, and this state or
- 2:49Speaker 2: in this case, the city, gets it within seven days.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Guess what that vote counts.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And then there are a few other ways that votes
- 2:57Speaker 2: can be repaired or fixed. And therefore because of the
- 3:01Speaker 2: expansiveness of the way California votes, it is automatic fraud,
- 3:08Speaker 2: even though there's absolutely no evidence. Those that are advocating fraud,
- 3:12Speaker 2: that are against mail in ballots or certainly in the
- 3:15Speaker 2: expansiveness want more restriction of a mail in ballots are
- 3:19Speaker 2: arguing there is fraud, and when asked to, okay, fine,
- 3:22Speaker 2: and I would love to hear about fraud, I have
- 3:25Speaker 2: no problem with that. Show me just show me. Well,
- 3:29Speaker 2: we don't have We just know it's true. Show me no, No,
- 3:33Speaker 2: we just know it's true. The whole system is flawed,
- 3:36Speaker 2: but only if Democrats win, mind you, if a Republican wins.
- 3:40Speaker 2: There has not been one allegation of fraud in any
- 3:43Speaker 2: election in which a Republican has won, not one, certainly
- 3:47Speaker 2: not by the Republican side. Only when Democrats win. So
- 3:51Speaker 2: the president was going, how could dith Oraman win when Pratt.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Was head election day? Where do they come up with
- 4:00Speaker 1: the votes? They came up with the votes because of
- 4:03Speaker 1: mail in balloting.
- 4:04Speaker 2: That's how Democrats vote, mail in much more than Republicans do.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Republicans go to the polls much more than do Democrats,
- 4:15Speaker 2: and so the argument is the Republicans ahead the day
- 4:19Speaker 2: of the voting and the Democrats somehow catches up or
- 4:23Speaker 2: surpasses the Republican is fraud.
- 4:26Speaker 1: How could you lose this many votes? Well, it's easy.
- 4:31Speaker 2: It's because of California's mailing system, California's vote gathering and
- 4:35Speaker 2: vote counting system. And the argument is that is inherently fraudulent. Fine,
- 4:42Speaker 2: give us an example. I just want to hear it.
- 4:45Speaker 2: It's the same thing that happened during the twenty twenty
- 4:48Speaker 2: election when President Trump lost the election.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Fraud, fraud, fraud, rigged, rigged, rigged. And I was saying,
- 4:58Speaker 1: I got it. You know, I'm on your side. Just
- 5:01Speaker 1: prove it.
- 5:04Speaker 2: We don't actually have any proof, or the proof that
- 5:07Speaker 2: was presented was completely flawed on its face, And so
- 5:12Speaker 2: I said, I made this analogy yesterday. How about this. Okay,
- 5:16Speaker 2: no evidence. You're now arrested. You're tried for some crime
- 5:18Speaker 2: of which there is no evidence to prove you committed
- 5:21Speaker 2: the crime. But the judge of the jury knows that
- 5:25Speaker 2: you did it. We sort of know you did it
- 5:26Speaker 2: in our heart of hearts. We know you did it,
- 5:28Speaker 2: and you're guilty. And you get convicted with no proof.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Welcome to America and That's exactly the argument that's being
- 5:38Speaker 2: argued on this one.
- 5:40Speaker 1: It is this has made up stuff.
- 5:43Speaker 2: This is to try to overturn an election in the
- 5:45Speaker 2: presidential and it's you know what it actually does, I mean,
- 5:50Speaker 2: is it going to go anything? The argument that Pratt
- 5:52Speaker 2: should have won or he did win and Nythia Rahman
- 5:56Speaker 2: did not really win. Here's the problem with it is
- 6:00Speaker 2: not that the vote and they can count and recount
- 6:03Speaker 2: and count again. Georgia, for example, in the presidential had
- 6:07Speaker 2: three recounts and the Republicans are still screaming that was fraudulent. Okay,
- 6:13Speaker 2: And certainly in the case of the LA election, this primary,
- 6:18Speaker 2: where you can go to court all you want argue
- 6:21Speaker 2: that Spencer Pratt actually won, Okay, Mazel tov, enjoy yourself.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Knock your socks off. You're not going to come up
- 6:27Speaker 2: with any allegations because there aren't any. You're not gonna
- 6:30Speaker 2: come up with any proof because there isn't any widespread
- 6:32Speaker 2: faud It just doesn't exist. The problem is it puts
- 6:35Speaker 2: into jeopardy our belief in democracy because what it says
- 6:40Speaker 2: is we do not have fair elections in this country anymore.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Back to the equation, if a Democrat wins, it is
- 6:49Speaker 2: fraud on his face, even though there's no proof to prove.
- 6:54Speaker 2: There's nothing to prove the fraud. If a Republican wins,
- 6:59Speaker 2: there is fraud. Don't even bother arguing fraud because that's
- 7:03Speaker 2: a fair election.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Are we really going there? We have. Unfortunately, we have
- 7:08Speaker 1: gone there.
- 7:09Speaker 2: And now those people that are arguing our democracy is
- 7:13Speaker 2: at stake, I agree, not in the sense that we're
- 7:16Speaker 2: overturning our election process. The democracy is our belief in
- 7:22Speaker 2: our election system. And if you cease believing, then where
- 7:28Speaker 2: are we going with that? All right, moving into a
- 7:32Speaker 2: political statement that's being made. Guy but named Dilvan Alberson
- 7:36Speaker 2: owns a restaurant right near where George Floyd was killed
- 7:43Speaker 2: in South Minneapolis, and he's run it for fifteen years
- 7:48Speaker 2: and he has he actually started this free and donation
- 7:54Speaker 2: based restaurant.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It was a regular restaurant up to the.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Immigration aids and he said, no, no, we're going to
- 8:03Speaker 2: make a donation based restaurant. And that's to avert sales tax.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Because the government is so corrupt. He averts on his
- 8:10Speaker 2: side that you can't have as long as the government
- 8:13Speaker 2: is the way it is. It has to be completely corrupt. Okay, whatever,
- 8:17Speaker 2: another crazy person.
- 8:18Speaker 1: But in the meantime, so.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Then as a political move, he went to a donation
- 8:26Speaker 2: a free based restaurant where people go in, they eat
- 8:30Speaker 2: for free, and then just donate the money.
- 8:33Speaker 1: About forty to fifty percent just take the free food.
- 8:39Speaker 1: The other.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Fifty sixty percent. They put in enough money to keep
- 8:46Speaker 2: the restaurant not only going, but doing better than it
- 8:49Speaker 2: ever has.
- 8:53Speaker 1: And that is you know, what, does that prove.
- 8:55Speaker 2: That people are wonderful, that people donate a lot of money. No,
- 8:59Speaker 2: I think it proved that people who do go to
- 9:01Speaker 2: that restaurant have for at least a political viewpoint that
- 9:07Speaker 2: they agree that the immigration raids, they agree that the
- 9:11Speaker 2: government is a fascist government, I mean, on and on
- 9:15Speaker 2: their position. So it has become a political statement as
- 9:19Speaker 2: well as eating food as well as buying food. And
- 9:23Speaker 2: so what he did is his business increased dramatically, as
- 9:27Speaker 2: you can imagine. He cut down the menu, making easier
- 9:32Speaker 2: for the kitchen staff.
- 9:34Speaker 1: He had to.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Bring in more people, and it looks like he's paying
- 9:38Speaker 2: them decent wages. People who are there have gotten raises
- 9:42Speaker 2: and this whole issue, and by the way, that's not
- 9:45Speaker 2: new there have been donation or there been donation paid
- 9:50Speaker 2: restaurants for a long time. I remember going there was
- 9:54Speaker 2: a pop up restaurant that my daughter took me to
- 9:57Speaker 2: that it's should have been one hundred dollars a meal
- 9:59Speaker 2: and you pay whatever you want, you pay nothing, and
- 10:04Speaker 2: they after about a year said, okay, we're done. It's
- 10:07Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty bucks ahead because we're not getting
- 10:10Speaker 2: any money. But it looks like in many we're not
- 10:12Speaker 2: getting enough, but it looks like in Minneapolis it works.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And so have you seen those? And I'm seeing fewer.
- 10:20Speaker 2: And fewer of those those honor kiosks in businesses in
- 10:25Speaker 2: various locations where you have these open boxes of snacks,
- 10:30Speaker 2: of energy bars and potato chips, and then there is
- 10:34Speaker 2: a please put money in. Usually there's a price, but
- 10:37Speaker 2: sometimes there isn't. And not only are they empty of money,
- 10:43Speaker 2: because I used to go and of course grab as
- 10:47Speaker 2: much as I possibly can not put money in, but
- 10:50Speaker 2: if there was money in there, I took out the
- 10:53Speaker 2: money in addition to getting a energy bar. And unfortunately
- 10:58Speaker 2: there's more people like me than there aren't, or fortunately,
- 11:02Speaker 2: depend on how you look at it. But as a
- 11:04Speaker 2: political statement, this restaurant is actually doing well. But keep
- 11:07Speaker 2: in mind this is in Minneapolis, South Minneapolis where the
- 11:11Speaker 2: immigration raids took where just were inforced and of course
- 11:17Speaker 2: George not only was Judge George Floyd killed there, but
- 11:21Speaker 2: then the immigrations afterwards started in that area and it
- 11:24Speaker 2: had become a poster child of anti governmental, pro immigration philosophy. Okay,
- 11:30Speaker 2: so much for that free food. And by the way,
- 11:32Speaker 2: it's gotten pretty good reviews. You know, they make their
- 11:34Speaker 2: own homemade bread and soups, et cetera. That hasn't changed.
- 11:38Speaker 1: All right. Coming up, we're going to end the hour
- 11:41Speaker 1: with jen Z.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Now we've talked about what AI is doing to the
- 11:47Speaker 2: education system, why students are not studying as hard as
- 11:53Speaker 2: they should and cheating. Let me tell you about what's
- 11:56Speaker 2: going on on a level so much deeper than that.
- 12:00Speaker 2: All right, Coming up the top of the hours, Tech
- 12:02Speaker 2: Tuesday with Micah Dubuski, today ABC News reporter out of
- 12:08Speaker 2: New York who talks to us on occasion about the
- 12:12Speaker 2: world of finance, actually the world of tech. So it's
- 12:16Speaker 2: a Tech Tuesday segment coming up at day o'clock. In
- 12:18Speaker 2: the meantime, let me give a quick story a little
- 12:22Speaker 2: bit of history here, and that is going to UCLA.
- 12:25Speaker 2: And my ex went to UCLA and in the days
- 12:27Speaker 2: when she went, I don't even know if they have
- 12:29Speaker 2: that anymore.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You would have to.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Take a test English test, and otherwise you have to
- 12:37Speaker 2: take you would have a student would have to take
- 12:39Speaker 2: bonehead English as that was known with and couldn't move
- 12:42Speaker 2: forward without bonehead English and passing that basic English because
- 12:48Speaker 2: not enough students knew enough English to move.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Forward, at least at UCLA.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Well, since then, the students have become more bonehead in
- 12:58Speaker 2: the sense that fewer students come in with writing and
- 13:01Speaker 2: analytical skills. We've talked about that many times, and especially
- 13:06Speaker 2: now that AI is around. AI deals with punctuation, puts
- 13:12Speaker 2: things in a logical order, and you can literally just
- 13:16Speaker 2: scramble your words, throw disjointed concepts on a piece of
- 13:21Speaker 2: paper and AI will clean it all up. Well, it's
- 13:25Speaker 2: gotten even worse than that, because study has just came
- 13:30Speaker 2: out that students are coming into college not being able
- 13:36Speaker 2: to read. Now you go, how possible is that, Well,
- 13:43Speaker 2: it is for a couple of reasons.
- 13:45Speaker 1: One technology. Two, the.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Bar of education, the bar of literacy has dropped so
- 13:55Speaker 2: low that almost anybody can go into college except for
- 13:59Speaker 2: the very very few high end rare colleges, the UCLA,
- 14:04Speaker 2: the SC's certainly Stanford, Harvard, Yale. I mean, those obviously
- 14:10Speaker 2: demand some pretty rarefied air. But for the most part,
- 14:13Speaker 2: junior colleges and state colleges, it just isn't there anymore.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Yesterday we talked about analytical thinking, how that's not around
- 14:22Speaker 2: anymore because of AI. And I'm looking at the study
- 14:26Speaker 2: that was just done and it talked about literally the
- 14:30Speaker 2: ability of students to come in and read and write
- 14:34Speaker 2: basic concepts.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I mean an interview.
- 14:39Speaker 2: There's a theology professor in the University of Notre Dame,
- 14:41Speaker 2: Timothy O'Malley with a shocker, and he typically in his
- 14:46Speaker 2: early career assigned twenty five to forty pages of reading
- 14:49Speaker 2: per class in theology. And he said today, if you
- 14:52Speaker 2: assigned that amount of reading, they don't know what to
- 14:56Speaker 2: do with it. Students use AI act. He missed the
- 15:00Speaker 2: point of the assigned reading. So it's not just a
- 15:03Speaker 2: question of being unable to cope and look at fairly
- 15:09Speaker 2: complex concepts and just literature now reading Mark Twain, reading
- 15:17Speaker 2: Charles Dickens and understanding it. It's literally, the ability to
- 15:23Speaker 2: enter society.
- 15:26Speaker 1: What it needs to what needs to be done.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Now here's the other side of that coin is maybe
- 15:32Speaker 2: because of AI and its ability to do what it's
- 15:35Speaker 2: going to do, you never have to read, literally, you
- 15:39Speaker 2: won't even have to read. You'll simply talk into a
- 15:42Speaker 2: microphone and say, Siri, tell him, tell me about what
- 15:48Speaker 2: happened during the civil war.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Outcomes an entire paper.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Well and even not an understanding what is the civil
- 15:57Speaker 2: war about? And here you go, you pull off the
- 16:00Speaker 2: computer and students don't know what what civil war? The
- 16:07Speaker 2: revolutionary war? I know it's the start of the country. Well,
- 16:11Speaker 2: who were some of the founding fathers? Well, let me
- 16:15Speaker 2: ask Siri, let me ask Claude, let me ask these
- 16:24Speaker 2: various programs. Again, we're seeing we're doing more than that,
- 16:28Speaker 2: more and more showing up, and it is simply a
- 16:31Speaker 2: way that we're looking at the future. And I've not
- 16:36Speaker 2: been afraid of the future. Frankly, I kind of thought
- 16:39Speaker 2: the future was going to be neat. I always have.
- 16:41Speaker 2: I thought we would live like the Jetsons live, and
- 16:44Speaker 2: we're moving in that direction pretty quickly. With the air
- 16:48Speaker 2: taxis and the cars, the automated cars self driving cars.
- 16:53Speaker 2: But I mean when it comes to intellectual thinking, when
- 16:57Speaker 2: it comes to analyzing, when it comes to simply trying
- 17:02Speaker 2: to figure out and doing any kind of analytical thinking
- 17:08Speaker 2: at all, it's just not happening. It's going to get
- 17:11Speaker 2: worse and worse. And college professors are spinning. And I
- 17:15Speaker 2: wonder know if they still have Bonehead English at UCLA.
- 17:19Speaker 2: I'm just curious about that and the number more students,
- 17:23Speaker 2: many more students had to take Bonehead English before they
- 17:27Speaker 2: could move on.
- 17:29Speaker 1: All right, we are done.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Coming up Tech Tuesday with Mike Dubuski, a little bit
- 17:35Speaker 2: about Apple next generation of its AI program, its improvements,
- 17:41Speaker 2: and then a brand new electric vehicle that Mike tested
- 17:45Speaker 2: in New York and it's not a car even so
- 17:48Speaker 2: that's coming right up.
- 17:50Speaker 1: This is KFI AM six forty. You've been listening to
- 17:54Speaker 1: the Bill Handle Show.
