• 0:30
  Speaker 3: show or any show here on KFI, simply by going
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: to the radio app, the iHeart iHeartRadio app and listening
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: to Well, you can find the podcast because there's a
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff that you are missing and we're gonna
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: have fun.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: All right. Well fine, I don't know if that's the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: appropriate word.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Yesterday, as we were doing this show, I was looking
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: up at the screen and CNN and Fox and even BBC.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: We're carrying the hearings, hearings being that Pambondy in front
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: of the Congressional Congressional Committee, that is the House Oversight Committee,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and it's these investigative committees aren't investigative in any sense.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Of the word they're supposed to be.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: But what they are, as I said, it's a dog
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and pony show where Republicans are telling her and stating
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: you are wonderful, You're terrific. The administration has done everything.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: You're saving America under the leadership of President Trump. I mean,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: on and on and on. You know, the same crap
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: that you hear from any member of the administration or
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: any Republican that's in Congress. For the most part, the fast,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: fast majority of the Republicans would jump off a building
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: if Trump asked them to jump off. As Mike Johnson said,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: he's a speaker, my job is to further the private
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: president's agenda. Well, how about your job as running the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: House of Representatives. Yes, to further the agenda of the president.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: There's no such thing as an independent, independent legislative branch anyboard.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exist. Es with the Republicans in control and.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: The Democrats on the other side ripped into her and
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: mainly Epstein is what came up, and the argument was
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: that the Democrats are accusing the administration of not releasing
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: all the Epstein files and trying to hold them back
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and only releasing them when a bipartisan group of Congress
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: people passed the law and President President Trump was gonna
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: lose the veto there was gonna be overridden. So finally
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: he did sign it and say he's always wanted to
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: release those documents, which is just not true. I mean,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: it's a we get a lot of utter lies, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: mean just straight out lies from the administration. So here
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you have a political fight, and she is so contentious
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: she throws it right back at them. The days of
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: having any respect for congress people or even senators in
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: these hearings have long gone. Accusation is made. Congressperson, this
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: is just theatrics for you, None of this makes sense.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: All you care about is theatrics. For example, a group
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of survivors were sitting in the audience behind Pambondi and
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: she was asked, will you turn to them and apologize
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: for what the administration didn't do, as in talk to you,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: as in investigate what happened? And Pambondi refused too, she goes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: that's just theatrics. Well, the reality is it is it
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: is on both sides. So as I told you, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: have the answer for this, and I do, and that
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: is how do you have How do we not pay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Attention to this kind of crapola?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: This meeting, this hearing was broadcast live for five hours.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: That's how long BONDI was in front of the committee,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: So what is the answer. I'll tell you what the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: answer was as I was watching this after we got
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: off the air. If the committee opened up its hearing
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and every Democrat on the committee stood up and walked outside,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: just walked out the door, all you would have is
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Republicans telling Bondie how brilliant President Trump was and is
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: how brilliant a job she is doing, how you are
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: saving America? And there was lots of Biden Harris stuff
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: going on. Is the true Attorney General that Biden the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Biden Harris administration destroyed America? Yes it is. Isn't it
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: true that they did not enforce any laws regarding immigration? Well,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I guess to that extent it is. Isn't it true?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Isn't it true? Okay, who's going to cover that? Who
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: is going to cover five hours of that? Where you
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: have Congress people just telling her she's brilliant, telling it
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: that the president is building is brilliant, that Ice is
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: doing a terrific job, that Border Patrol is saving America,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and otherwise if President Trump were not in power, America
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: would be destroyed.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And simply parrot what the President.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Has said isn't it true that President Trump is the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: greatest president that ever lived? Isn't it true that America
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: would go into the sewer if President Trump were not
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: our president? Who's going to cover that? Amy, you're a newsperson,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and let me ask your opinion. Seriously, if it were
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: only the Republicans telling a Pam Bondy, tell me how
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: wonderful you are and what the president is tell us
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: about how wonderful the country is?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Now, who's going to cover that, nobuddy? Because it's just propaganda.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: There's a there you go that's out there.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: There you go, and the contentiousness that was what made
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: it somewhat I guess relevant, but it's not relevant.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: None of it was relevant, but it is.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Meaning Yeah, well five hours of it from the Democratic
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: side and the Republican side, it's all. It's all dog
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and pony and we know it. It means nothing. It
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: means zero today. All right, coming up the lapd and drones,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: how do they connect? Well, we're gonna get drone here.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I'm going to drone and drone on that one. You're
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: gonna get bored with that much like you did yesterday.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: And look at the segue I just did I connected
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: this segment with the segment that's coming up. This is
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: why you have to listen and podcast are segments, because
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: otherwise you're going to miss amy. Isn't it true that
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: this broadcast is the greatest talk show broadcast in the
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: history of mankind? Isn't it true that we are saving
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: talk radio? Isn't it true?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Objection exactly, I'd like to get my time back.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Please come next Tuesday.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: We have a new show that is appearing here broadcast
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: here on KFI, and some new times for existing shows.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: This doesn't change.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: We're on from six to nine am, and wake Up
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Call is still from five to six, and then nine o'clock.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It's going to be Gary and Shannon from nine till noon,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: and then the new show kicks in Chris Merrill, who
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: you know has been filling in for years, and Michael Monks,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: who is our news person extraordinaire. They are going to
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: have their program, and then John starts at three o'clock,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: three to six, and then it's Tim Conway six to
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: ten o'clock. That's our new lineup, and that those are
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: our new times. So by the way it's gonna is
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: it going to be the Monks and Merrill show, or
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: is it going to be in the Merrill and Monks
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: show or is it going to be eminem.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Monks and Merrill.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It's monks and merrill.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think it matters. It matters, It matters. No,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: you have to have top billing. Top billing absolutely matters.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: If they're right next to each other.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Top billing matters completely.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Like when I have flown on the same airplane with
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: George Norri, I've done that three times to Las Vegas.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: We always argue if the plane goes down, who gets
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: top billing? That is all we care about. Top billing
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: is critical in life. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: looking forward to it. That starts Tuesday, by the way,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Merrill or Monks and Merrill start at noon on Tuesday,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and I think you'll have a good time with that. Okay,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: let's talk about the lapd is putting up drones in
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: the skies as first responders, not necessarily, as just looking
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: at what's going on, much like helicopters do that. The
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: police have just you know, surveillance and with the big
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: light they do it. I don't know if you've ever
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: been under one of those lights or like ten billion lumens. Yeah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: a helicopter. It is just see them every day. Yeah,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: but have you ever been Have you ever been under
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: one of those lights? Yeah, it is high noon on
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the brightest day of the year.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: It is crazy.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: So anyway, drones are now moving beyond investigative purpose right
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: into first responders. And there's a two point one million
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: dollar donation. LA Board of Police Commissioners agreed to this
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: to purchase twenty four drones and to equip them to
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: bolster LAPD's plans to use them as first responders.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: There was a successful.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Pilot program and the funds with one point eight million
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: dollars going to go with a three year contract with Skydio.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Skydio Okay, interesting name for the purchase of the drones
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: and docking stations, installations at stations and public facilities. Anyway,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the point of all this is to use them, not
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: so much as flying over to figure out what's going on,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: believing below them. Expanding that as to first responders. Now
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: before they were limited to jumping in and dealing with
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: barricaded suspects or explosives. Well, today what's going to happen
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: is these drones and high definition cameras because the cameras
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: are getting superb and thermal imaging is going to give
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: officers and I'm going to quote here, real time awareness
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to assess threats, locate suspects, identify hazards, and at times
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: resolve calls without direct contact. Just make it easier and
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: safer to for the police to do their jobs. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: that expand expands dramatically the use of the drones. Now
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: you have advocacy, We have privacy advocates that of course
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: argue with any of that. They have a tough time
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: with any governmental entity knowing about you where you're going.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And this is police action.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I have not heard, by the way, anybody come in
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: against this as of this point. But this program, the
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: First Responder program, by the way, it's funded by private
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: donations because the foundation LA Police Foundation, which pays for
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of this new stuff and pays for some
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: military equipment and vests and whatever that the LAPD just
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't have money for, and so they pay for a
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: lot of They donate a lot of gear and a
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: lot of programs, et cetera. And so it's important it's
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: not tax dollars. But what happens is here's the quote
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: again by proving response times, proving better situational awareness, enhances
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: his officer safety and enables more informed decision making, supports
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: de escalation efforts, and advances the department's use of modern technology,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: which makes a lot of sense. You call the cops,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: and the cops come and there's traffic. Let's say, is
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: bumper them up for traffic? And you call the police.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: You know what, it's going to take a while. You
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: send up a drone and they're going to go there immediately,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: and the drone is going to be able to see
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: what's going on, and you have thermal imaging, which the
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: police don't have a helicopters do, but helicopters can be
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: a ways away and you're limited with a number of helicopters.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: With drones, you can send up a dozen of them
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: overhead and it makes a great deal of sense. Now,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: the next I think the next part of this program,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: and I think it's going to be expanded, is using
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: military tactics to deal with the bad guys.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: For example, they can put hell fire.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Missiles on these drones, fly them overhead, and if someone
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: is barricaded, that entire building is vaporized. That is a
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: way to deal with the criminals. Okay, I think we're
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: done with that now.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I've taught. Oh, we've talked a lot about housing over
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the years.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: And there's two things going on and that is number one,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: we need housing, clearly and no issue there. And there
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: is approximately fifty million square feet of empty office space
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: in LA. You combine the two and you have an answer,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: and that is converting the office space into residential dwellings,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: into apartments or condos. And you take an old building,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: actually you take even a newer building because there's a
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: new law that says you can now do it with
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: buildings that are fifteen years old.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: It used to be way older than that.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: And you start constructing apartments, Well, the building is already there,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: foundation is poured, the steel is there.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: So it's a fraction of the cost.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Now there are some costs because you have to replumb
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: and re electrical and all of that, but you still
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: have the bones of the building which make the conversion
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: much much cheaper. And the city, Wow, what a shaker,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: finally got onto this. And so there is a new
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: law that has just been passed and what it does
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: is allowed streamlines these conversion approvals that have actually removes
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest hurdles for developers because historically you
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: have a developer. Nothing stops a developer, by the way,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: from developing an older office building, older older than fifteen years.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Now it's now newer ones can be converted, so nothing
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: stops the developer from doing that. The problem is how
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: long the regular process takes.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And it took years, and developers saying we don't know.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're going to invest millions of dollars in
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: this and we don't know when this is a go. Well,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the city realized that that is a big issue, and
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: so they passed an ordinance making it far, far easier.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: One of the buildings that is being converted, that pyramid
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: building right off the one on one Freeway in Sherman Oaks,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the sun Kissed Headquarters building. Remember that one beautiful building.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: It's inverted pyramid. Yeah, and it's empty.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It's empty.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Sun Kissed Headquarters moved. It was the Headquarters from nineteen
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: seventy to twenty thirteen. It's a long time. And now
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: what the hell do they do with it? Or are
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: they going to make condos or are they going to
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: make apartments out of it?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: They've already started construction there. The whole lot of construction
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: going on there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's You go to New York, you go to Washington,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: d C.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Where they have really made an effort to make this
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: happen by ten accibatements, by subsidizing construction, by approval ratings
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: flying through the door. You have buildings there that have
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: over a thousand units. Now these are big units, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: they're adding residential residential space by the thousands and thousands
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: of dollars. So rents, thank god, have rents have actually
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: leveled out. So now the average is only two and
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: sixty seven dollars per month, and that was in December.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: And even the cost of a used tent under a
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: bridge in one of the suburbs and one of the
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: communities in LA has gotten cheaper. You could actually go
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: TORII and buy used bridge and put it underneath the
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: used tent and put it undneath the bridge. So rents
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: have actually gotten cheaper, and so it just makes so
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: much sense, it really does. And also high rises office space,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: well you still have the windows, you still have the
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: great window views. It's just a question of now electrical
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: new electrical new walls, but again just walls that aren't aren't.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Aren't weight bearing walls either.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Those you're looking at plumbing for dorlets.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: You are you're looking No, you're you're definitely looking at
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: additional you are definitely looking at.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Every place has to have windows, so the center, the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: center space is hard to use.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: No, you you there are plenty of office spaces. You're
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: allowed to have inside offices and that they're allowed to
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: do that. The elevators are already in, uh the bones
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: of the building. The windows are already there.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: You can't have a dwelling with no windows to the outside.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You have to light.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, you know I don't and I don't know that
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: that does resonate, and I don't know the answer to that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: But I'm I'm going to give you the benefit of
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the doub because it makes sense what you say. So
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you have of the residence is all over. How about
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: this mixed use where the inside our only is office
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: space or kitchens exactly or yes, or you make yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I think that would work.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I think that would work. It's a good idea. We
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: have to do this. It makes all you know, the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: problem is, it makes so much sense that it's.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Probably gonna fail because we're dealing with city ordinances.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: We're dealing with.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Smart to work.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: It's too smart to work for a city council, city government. Okay, Now,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: as I promoted just before we went to break, I'm
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: going to talk about the death of a thousand cuts.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: RFK Junior, who is the head of Health and Human Services,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: was and is still a anti vaxxer. He promised during
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: his hearings that he wouldn't do that. Bill Cassidy the
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: last vote the senator from Kentucky. I guess believed him
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: because it's RFK lied outright, and I'm sure he's kicking
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: himself in the ass for this one because Kennedy was Cassidy.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Cassidy was a pro vax or even ran a vaccine
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: program in Kentucky.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So now here's the latest.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: The FDA under Health and Human Services has refused to
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: review Moderna's application that its seasonal flu vaccine is well,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: it's not even going forward. They won't even review the application.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: This is the latest setback for the development of mRNA
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: based vaccines, which is the new technology. Maderna said it
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: had received a refusal to file letter from the FDA.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: By the way, the company noted that the FDA didn't
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: say there was any specific safety or efficacy concerns because concerns,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: or even would review testing. They just said, we're just
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: not going to period. And Moderna said, wait a minute,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: this rejection is inconsistent with the feedback we got in
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five, and all we
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: want is a meeting to sit down with the FDA
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: to discuss this, and the FDA is saying no, absolutely not.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: During the World econom Economic Forum in Davos, Davos, Switzerland,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Sephanie stefan A Bontel said the company is not going
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: to invest anymore in the vaccine trials late stage vaccine
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: trials because of the growing opposition to immunizations from the US.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: They're just not going to do it. And I assume
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: that's what RFK Junior wants. We know that the FDA
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: has stopped recommending vaccines under certain circumstances for kids under
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: the age if I think three months or four months,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and by the way, the certain vaccines are given at
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: birth and the FDA say you don't do that anymore,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: and certain other vaccines that the American Medical Society has said,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: this is crazy, this makes no sense. This is not science, guys.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: The science says this all helps, and you're saying no.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: And they are saying no because of the debunked, unproven
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: claims that are being made by RFK with the like
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the autism study that RFK used to quote, which I
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: don't think he's crazy enough to do anymore. The fact
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: that vaccines cause autism was based on one paper written
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: by a crazy ass doctor later debunked, later recanted, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: he lost his license to practice medicine. That is the
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: basis of autism. I mean, it's just crazy. So the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: guidance on childhood immanization was rolled back against six infections diseases,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: and the Department of Health and Human Services said it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: going to wind down the vaccine development activities under its
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Biomedical Research Unit, and it's basically saying we are not
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: interested in a more modern version and a more technological
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: aspect or technological furtherance of our vaccines.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Now, these programs.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Were being told by people within the government or outside
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: of the government that used to be in government that
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: these sweeping changes, not just this one, but sweeping changes
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: across the board to vaccines, to food, to medicine policies
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: will impact twenty two projects worth nearly five hundred million dollars.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of money that the government used to
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: spend for research for furtherance of the health plans that
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: were in place. And one of the issues and remember
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: this when the President said and when it was cutting
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: like crazy programs, and one of them he said, fifty
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: million dollars was dedicated to condoms in the Third World,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: and then three days later he said, one hundred million
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: dollars is being spent on condoms by the World Health
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Organization and funded by the United States, leaving out the
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: fact that, of course it wasn't one hundred million.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Of course it wasn't fifty million.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: It was just I think either in the one hundreds
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: of thousands or the low millions of dollars. But here
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: is where the difference the thinking is different. That is,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: these condoms were given out and about HIV prevention, that
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: was the point of handing out condoms, and instead it
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: was portrayed by the President that this is condoms so
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: people can just stoop like crazy. And it's just a
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: different view of looking at it. RFK Junior does not
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: believe in vaccines. He is in a position as head
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: of Health and Human Services, to stop research, to stop education,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: and to stop vaccinations under federal programs. It's going to
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: be an interesting three years, by the way. And this
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: is truly the death of a thousand cuts because he
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: will not admit that he is anti vaccine anymore. Oh no, no,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: absolutely not. I believe in vaccinations. I think they're very valuable.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I believe they're overused, but I think they should be utilized. Yeah,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: we believe that, don't we. Okay, we're done with that,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: and I guess yeah, that gets my eyer up. It
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: drives me completely crazy. I mean, I'm a big fan
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: of vaccine.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I really am.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I vaccinated my kids everything you can vaccinate them for.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I even vaccinated them against parvo and distemper. And that's
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: not easy to have a doctor vaccinated a child for.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Distemper and worms and all that.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: All that are your heart worm medication. I mean, all
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of it. You bet kfi am sixty. You've been listening
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to The Bill Handle Show.
