Drone Attack Warning Issued in California | Extreme Heat is Here · The Bill Handel Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Goll Handle on a Thursday morning, March twelfth.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: The war continues, of course, straight of Jmuz, straight of.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: The Strait is basically just shut down and attacks are
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: coming fast and furious. Now in regards to the war,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: we just got some news and it was surprising actually
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: that both state and local officials here in California said
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday about threats to California from Iranian drones and they're
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: saying no specific imminent threats. They didn't, for example, they
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: didn't give an address in Van Eyes that was threatened
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but stayed remained alert. We are they are here locally
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and along the coast, remain alert to the possibility, following
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: a federal warning before the war began.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Now that's kind of news to me.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Is looking at a possible drone strike from off the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: California shores and the first thing that came to mind
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: when I looked at this story is how are they
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: going to do that? You know, an Iranian ship is
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: certainly going to get some attention off the coast, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: can I guess you can have a drone on a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: ship and launch course that ship would instantly be wiped
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: out with the fighter, the fighters the aircraft that we
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: have at various bases throughout southern California. But I'm wondering
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: how they could do it. Man, I just don't get it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But they're saying it's possible, and the alert said Iran
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: is aspiring to such a counter strike, not that it
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: had the possibility or the capability.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: To do so. Very strange.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: This was first reported by ABC News and it was
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: shared with local law enforcement and they were apprized if
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: possible dangers. Do you find that strange, Neil, that we're
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: talking about possible drone strikes off the coast.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: It's an obvious target to me, but I don't think
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a military ship.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: The whole point of drones is that they're small and
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: can be ranged from. So why not a fishing boat
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: or something that would you know, would be less obvious
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: or you know, there's ways to get out there and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: not look like you know, it's not like you have
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: to have a massive platform to launch a plane or something.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: So and the assumption that it's going to be one
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: of those millity terry style drones is also another assumption.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: What if they rig something a little more. I don't know, Uh,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: you know, the smaller or really terrorism is much easier
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: than traditional warfare.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but are not drones are not traditional terrorism sleeper cells. Uh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: certainly attacks by you know, homemade martyrs if you will,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: people that come in toadicalize folks, and there's plenty of.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Cannot go toe to toe with US and with Israel, right,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: so the the only thing they could do as a
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: military you know, attack is going to be something more
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: terrorist like, even though they do have their own military
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: that would make sense to try.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And and the look at the words not eminent, apprized aspirational.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Uh, there's not much there.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Now, the governor said the warning was not a surprise,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: but uh, you don't know what's going to happen. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: he has not talked directly with President Trump. Well, really,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Newsom is not talked with President Trump. Boy, there's a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: bit of news. And we have got eight hundred and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: forty miles of coastline, more military bases than any other state.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And on top of that, in terms of the Iranians
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand that live in the LA
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: area and virtually every single one of all of them.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say hate the regime. That's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: why they left. And their kids are first generation, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: it's like Cubans in Florida who hate Castro and Castro's prodigy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: So is this real? I don't know if there is
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a and I think if there's going to be an attack,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it's going to be some radicalized kid who is going
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to blow up some building or walk into some supermarket
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and blow himself up.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Of course, the war continues well into the second It
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: is not close to being over, even though the President
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: has said the first day of the war it was
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: over finished. And then the war is not over and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: we're only going to stop until an unconditional surrender happens.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: What does a surrender mean? When the president decides the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: surrender means? I mean, the statement's all over the place,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and to me, it's a fairly easy call that I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: think the president should make. One of the accusations is
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: we don't have messaging from the president.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: We have not been told what this is all about.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yes we have.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It's real simple. It's about wiping out their nuclear capabilities.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It's about stopping or trying to stop their support of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: terrorist groups all over the world. It's about getting rid
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of their ballistic missiles program, and that's what this is about.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And wiping out their military ability to do what they're
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: doing now seems to me the reasons for stopping the war. Now,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a huge controversy has to do with that school that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: was bombed, where one hundred and sixty five people kids
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: actually for the most part, were killed in a bomb
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that was dropped at the opening hours of the conflict.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And it looks like all evidence is pointing to the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: United States as having caused that damage, having in fact
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: bombed the school. And you know, the administration is waffling
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: on that one too. Pete Hegseth. It's under investigation, the President,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it's under investigation. Caroline Levett, press spokesperson, it's under investigation. Well,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it's pretty well been investigated in the United States.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Looks like it's responsible and.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: It was based on what looks like outdated intelligence that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: came in well before that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: There wasn't art.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: There is an army base right there, but since has
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: been separated from the school.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: There is a wall.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: There and according to satellite photos, at least what the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: New York Times and other publications are reporting that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: It is very easy to discern there is.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: A wall there, and on the wall on the school side,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: as all kinds of school paintings that you see, you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: graffiti and things like Mickey Mouse and whatever schools paint
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: on walls, and it was very easy to figure out
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that this was a school and they just blew it,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and so why not simply say we blew it. Unfortunately,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that's what happens. We had outdated intelligence. We regret the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: loss of life. Unfortunately, this is what happens in war.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Look at what the Iranians are doing in bombing its
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: facilities all over the Mid East, saying we don't bomb
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: anything of their military facilities, and yet the same time
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: they're taking out infrastructure, oil, infrastructure from then from their neighbors.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: The bottom line is that it happens in war. Even
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the President pointed out it happens in war. But according
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to the president, the war is over. It was over
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the first hour, the first hour, not hours hour, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: then in the same the same I won't say the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: same sentence, but certainly in the same event, we're still
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: at war and I want unconditional surrender and being asked
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: which one is it? And the President responded to it's both.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And then unconditional surrender comes down the pike. What does
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that mean? It's when I tell you what it means. Gee,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I think unconditional surrenders fairly easy to understand, don't you.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: We should look that up. It's when the other side
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: says we surrender. So it's just the problem is the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: message is so muddled and it's so easy to assert.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: These are the points.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Carolyn Levitt, actually, I thought, in one of her press
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: conferences laid it right out.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: These are the four issues. This is what the point
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of this war is, and that is.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Removing the military threat, removing the ability with the drones
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and what and the ballistic missiles wipe out that's program,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: certainly take out the nuclear threat of which Iran man
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: who believes Iran?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And then finally, and I think this makes sense.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And you had a couple of people in the administration
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: saying this, If not, now, when do we wait instead
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of three thousand ballistic missiles? Do we wait until they
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: have ten thousand? Do we wait until a nuclear weapon
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: actually is in the possession of the Iranians? Oh, they're
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: doing it for peaceful purposes. According to Iran, Wait a minute, oh,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: only for power. They're sitting on a sea of oil,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and the neighbors of Iran and the United States and
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Russia and most of the world is saying, we'll give
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you the uranium for free if you use it for
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: people peaceful purposes. By the way, the Irania, the enrichment
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: aspect of uranium for peaceful purposes for a nuclear reactor
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: is about three percent. You need about ninety ninety five percent,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: from what I understand, enrichment to create a bomb. They're
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: at sixty or seventy percent. But wait a minute, all
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you need is three percent. Oh no, we're only doing
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: this for peaceful purposes. When do you think, do you
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: wait until they have the bomb? Because you know they're
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: going forward with a bomb? Do you wait? Do you
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: do what happened in World War Two? When Hitler in
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: nineteen thirty eight started and at that moment even he admitted,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: had the world turned around and said no, when he
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: took a Poland in nineteen thirty nine, and the world
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: waited and look what happens? You think you would understand
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: what happened? That history teaches us. Okay, moving over to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: another fun topic is that if you are over the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: age of sixty five, you are screwed and you're going
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to die because of the heat. A study just came
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: out that extreme heat, no surprise, is making ordinary activities
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: just too dangerous.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: That has over particularly over sixty five.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: It's across the board that has doubled globally over the
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: last seventy five years. So seniors experienced about a month
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a year when heat prevents routine tax tasks. A third
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: of humanity now lives in severely heat affected regions.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: No climate change out there.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And this is the first study of its kind documenting
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: extreme heat restrictions on everyday life, not just survival usually survival,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: this is just living your normal life. Where extreme heat
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: makes it too dangerous, too dangerously hot to walk the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: dog or in some countries even eat the dog, or
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: sweep the porch, engage in ordinary pursuits.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: All that has doubled.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: And so here's some figures here On average people over
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: sixty five and older, they lose a month a year
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: heat prevents them from routine activities.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And I mean just calling out and walking around, going
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: out on the porch.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Authors of the studies say is the first to document
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the consequences first out there, and it goes on to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: say extreme heat just isn't affecting our ability to survive
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: or work physically demanding jobs, talking about you know, roofers
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: up there. I look at roofers in the middle of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the summer when it's one hundred and ten degrees in
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the valley and they're out there and they wear the hats,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you know, they're Chinese panda style hats, and I don't
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: understand how they can work in that kind of heat.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: They don't even sweat, you know, they literally don't even sweat.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I mean the body just doesn't do that. I mean
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: they're drinking gallons of water a day.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Yesterday I met a listener in the wild working across
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the street doing all the landscaping for this big apartment
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: complex there, and he's a fan of the show. His
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: name's Grant, and I said, man, you know, how are
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you prepping for tomorrow because it starts getting hotter and hotter,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And he had the best out of to do. He's like,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: you know, you just plan for it. Make sure you
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: bring your you know, bring your water, and you come
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: in with a good attitude. And it's going to set
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: your day, you know, because to me, the last thing
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I want to do is be out in the sun,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you know, digging things up, planting things and all of that.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, how do you listen good attitude when you know
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get ill, go to the hospital, maybe even
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: die of heat prostitution.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the younger guy. But did you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: say heat prostitution? Yeah? Yeah, that's that's when you die
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: of too much heat. Isn't it prostitution?
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Hey, you're looking for a date hot stuff?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's heat prostation. It's one I always get
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to too confused.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: That's when you're bending over in the heat.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It is really tough.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And we're talking about landscapers, construction guys that are outside now. Obviously,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the countries that are affected the most are in the
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Mid East.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Been in the during the summer in the Mideast. I've
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: had the pleasure of being in Egypt in the middle
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: of the summer and going to the Valley of the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Kings where tutin common is buried, and like an idiot,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I did it in the summer. It was one hundred
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and twenty degrees or one hundred and eighteen degrees. That
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: is insanity. And they don't wear shorts. They know, they
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: don't wear well, what they do is they know they
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: What they do is they wear the long robes, which
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: make a lot of sense because they deal with the
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: heat much better than shorts.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And they don't drink ice drinks either. They drink, No,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: they don't. Although there's nothing wind. Yeah, but there's nothing
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: like an ice drink in the summer. That first the
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: crack open the diet coke and that first sip, Oh
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: my goodness, there's nothing like it. So the bottom line,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: if you go outside and watch your dog in a die,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: all right, it's that simple, and your.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Dog's probably gonna die too. Okay.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: A story about AI, and this says us to be
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: a story with unintended consequences.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I talk about that a lot.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: There's a lawsuit the father of a Flora man issuing
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Google in the first wrongful death case in the US
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: against any tech giant over alleged harms caused by AI
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: actually caused by the AI tool Gemini. So Joel Gabalaz
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: says that Gemini fueled a delusional spiral that prompted his
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: thirty six year old son Jonathan to kill himself last year.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: The lawsuit alleges that Gemini exchanged romantic texts with Jonathan Gabalis,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: which you can do fairly easily. I mean, it'll go
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: into sexting, or you have full conversations and they're pretty realistic,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: where you have these avatars, or you have these characters
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: that engage with you and they get pretty real. So
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: what gem and I did is it drove the young
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Jonathan thirty five years old, he's not so young. It
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: drove him to stage an our mission that he came
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: to believe it could bring the chatbot into the real world.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Google said in the statement that it was reviewing the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: claims and that it's models generally perform well.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And I love the word generally. I think that's really
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: important here.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: The models generally perform well, and unfortunately AI models are
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: not perfect, and they aren't. Nothing is perfect. It doesn't exist,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: not surgeries, not flights on airplanes. Nothing exists that's perfect.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: And unfortunationally, the lawsuits hit. For example, let me give
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: you a lawsuit story, and this has to do with obstetricians.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: It has to do with obstricians in Florida. But that's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: sort of academic.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: When babies are delivered, there is a two percent or
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: so chance of anomalies happening.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: That's just nature.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: What looks like a perfect delivery turns out that the
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: kid comes out with some major problems anomalies about a
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: two percent chance that happens, maybe under a two percent chance.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: When a baby is born that has a problem and
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the doctor did nothing wrong, it's just nature at work.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: The lawsuit hits automatically, the lawsuit hits arguing some kind
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: of a negligence, and this is nature where the doctor
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: did everything right.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: So you know, the defense are is I didn't do
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't do anything wrong.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And they go to trial or they usually settle, which
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: is why obstetricians are basically out of business in many places,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: because insurance for obstetricians can be upwards of one hundred
• 19:13
