Dr. Fauci’s Pandemic Era Diary | Flock’s License Plate Reader Cameras · The Bill Handel Show

0:00
Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
0:04
Speaker 1: six forty. I'm the uf I AM six forty. Don't
0:16
Speaker 1: handle here. It is a Tuesday morning, July twenty eight.
0:21
Speaker 1: Some of the big news stories recovering big earthquake in
0:24
Speaker 1: Japan is that's what seven point two? Seven point eight? Amy?
0:29
Speaker 1: What is? It was initially seven point one. It appears
0:31
Speaker 1: they may have downgraded it to a six point eight,
0:34
Speaker 1: but still a big and a lot of and a
0:36
Speaker 1: lot of damage. And Japan is probably the most earthquake
0:41
Speaker 1: conscious country in the world. They have so many of them.
0:45
Speaker 1: Their technology the entire world follows. So when you see
0:49
Speaker 1: these buildings having collapsed, that's a big earthquake because it's
0:53
Speaker 1: it's maybe even better than what we do in southern
0:56
Speaker 1: California with the way the Japanese deal with earthquakes. All
0:59
Speaker 1: right now, very interesting hearing it's going to be happening
1:06
Speaker 1: in the next few days. And this has to do
1:08
Speaker 1: with Senator Ran Paul Republican Kentucky. Just this real gadfly,
1:14
Speaker 1: more of a populis than anything else. And it's the
1:16
Speaker 1: fight that he has had with doctor Anthony Fauci regarding
1:20
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen pandemic. They from the beginning, they have
1:25
Speaker 1: been at odds. Well. Rand Paul is publishing or has
1:31
Speaker 1: published a group, a big group of diary entries of
1:34
Speaker 1: Fauci's eleven forty one pages. It was released over the weekend,
1:40
Speaker 1: and this comes ahead of Fauci's appearance tomorrow in front
1:44
Speaker 1: of the Senate Committee of which Ran Paul chairs, and
1:49
Speaker 1: the entries Paul's commentary on them. Boy, does that highlight
1:52
Speaker 1: the agreement between Fauci, who was former director of the
1:55
Speaker 1: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases the CDC, and
2:01
Speaker 1: the fight is where did COVID start and what Fauci
2:07
Speaker 1: was pretty adamant that it started not in that lab
2:10
Speaker 1: in Wuhan, as many people have thought, particularly the conspiracy folks,
2:14
Speaker 1: that this was the Japanese lab that purposely led out
2:17
Speaker 1: or accidentally let out the virus. He has said over
2:21
Speaker 1: and over again, it was that wet market in Wuhan,
2:25
Speaker 1: that animal market were all kinds of weird animals were
2:28
Speaker 1: there to be sold, and that's where it started. Well,
2:33
Speaker 1: it turns out that Fauci in his notes had some
2:37
Speaker 1: doubts that it could have been Wuhan. Now as soon
2:43
Speaker 1: as he said it is. But the majority of the investigators,
2:47
Speaker 1: of the scientists, the medical scientists, think that it was
2:51
Speaker 1: the wet market. But there were few that went the
2:53
Speaker 1: other way, and Fauci at one point had some doubts,
2:57
Speaker 1: and one of the reasons that he didn't even make
3:00
Speaker 1: those public because he was afraid of the outcome of
3:06
Speaker 1: having a QQ China, of purposely starting this and millions
3:11
Speaker 1: of people dying across the world, that that becomes a
3:14
Speaker 1: little problematic. So what Fauci said is, even though there
3:18
Speaker 1: are some doubts, the vast majority of scientists overwhelmingly to
3:25
Speaker 1: say that it was the wet market where this all started.
3:30
Speaker 1: And it's went from animals to humans, and of course
3:32
Speaker 1: humans to humans, and we had this insane pandemic which
3:36
Speaker 1: we haven't seen since I think nineteen eighteen with a
3:39
Speaker 1: flu pandemic that around the world, forty fifty million people died,
3:44
Speaker 1: and here I don't know how many millions, but certainly
3:46
Speaker 1: it was in the tens of billions that died of
3:49
Speaker 1: this virus. Now we'll see what happens on this one
3:54
Speaker 1: as to how much. The other thing is the argument
3:58
Speaker 1: is it could have started in Wuhan it could have.
4:03
Speaker 1: Is it possible that it started? Yeah, here's the argument.
4:06
Speaker 1: Is it possible that? And here is why argument? Or
4:09
Speaker 1: why question? To you? Is it possible? And you asked me,
4:13
Speaker 1: I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't believe in aliens.
4:16
Speaker 1: I really don't. God I wish I did, because those
4:20
Speaker 1: great stories of the Martian anal probes. I never get
4:22
Speaker 1: tired of those. Is just listening to George Norri. So
4:26
Speaker 1: you asked me, is it possible that aliens are out there? Yeah,
4:31
Speaker 1: of course it's possible. Do I believe it? No, for
4:34
Speaker 1: the most part. Is there any evidence that aliens are
4:37
Speaker 1: out there? Well, it's pretty flaky. Or is there evidence
4:41
Speaker 1: to prove that they're not out there? I think that's
4:43
Speaker 1: the same argument. Is there any evidence that proves it
4:46
Speaker 1: was the Wuhan market? Can you prove it wasn't the
4:50
Speaker 1: Wuhan market? And that seems to be the issue here.
4:55
Speaker 1: But the politics of this, that's one of the things
4:58
Speaker 1: that has been huge among the conservatives, among conspiracy theories
5:03
Speaker 1: that Fauci was part of this and would not or
5:07
Speaker 1: at least would not release the real information, the real pandemic.
5:15
Speaker 1: Those Chinese, boy, they'll do anything right to really screw
5:19
Speaker 1: us over. Okay anymore, Neil, you're about to say something. No. Earlier,
5:27
Speaker 1: I said you can't prove a negative. That's correct, you
5:29
Speaker 1: cannot prove a negative. Well, you can prove that you
5:32
Speaker 1: can't prove a negative by not being able to prove
5:35
Speaker 1: a negative. Yeah. Yeah, we just created a black hole.
5:40
Speaker 1: We just did. Now I want to spend a minute
5:43
Speaker 1: or talking to you about Flock. Flock is the largest
5:48
Speaker 1: purveyor of the system that reads license plates automatic license
5:53
Speaker 1: plate reader system. They're known as alpers alp rs, but
5:58
Speaker 1: I'm going to refer to them as flocks because the
6:01
Speaker 1: company Flock is by far the biggest company that does
6:04
Speaker 1: this across the US. Five thousand police departments US flock
6:09
Speaker 1: and it is well, the technology is really impressive, but
6:13
Speaker 1: it also can be misused. And for example, and this
6:17
Speaker 1: is a story about the Milwaukee Police Department, there was
6:21
Speaker 1: an officer accused of misusing flock. This officer Josu let's
6:27
Speaker 1: call him joey Ayala. They found that he secretly used
6:32
Speaker 1: Flock to learn the location of his romantic partner one
6:35
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four times and his and his and
6:41
Speaker 1: the X of the partner fifty five times. Well he
6:45
Speaker 1: was canned. Then there was, by the way, one of
6:49
Speaker 1: the cops that did investigating, he himself was arrested for
6:53
Speaker 1: using flock illegally. And so this is happening all over
6:56
Speaker 1: the country, not even huge numbers, but dozens of incident.
7:00
Speaker 1: So here's what's going on. The ASLU, of course, is
7:04
Speaker 1: not very happy with the system because it can read
7:08
Speaker 1: every license plate that either a pole mounted flock camera
7:13
Speaker 1: or even a police car mounted flot cameras. I didn't
7:17
Speaker 1: know that police cars had that. Certainly the polls okay,
7:20
Speaker 1: go figure and everybody that passes, every car that passes,
7:24
Speaker 1: boom photograph is taken noted and then that goes into
7:28
Speaker 1: a database. Now the police is saying, this is the
7:29
Speaker 1: greatest tool we have because stolen cars. Anytime there is
7:35
Speaker 1: an incident, a criminal incident where someone has the license
7:38
Speaker 1: plate of the perpetrator or the alleged perpetrator, boom, the
7:43
Speaker 1: system goes into play and they can follow him and
7:46
Speaker 1: from and department to department talking about this or they're
7:50
Speaker 1: literally communicating with each other. So you have someone driving
7:54
Speaker 1: across the country or driving across state lines and the
7:56
Speaker 1: flock system in each jurisdiction talks to the other flock
7:59
Speaker 1: system exactly where He's been great for finding people that
8:03
Speaker 1: are missing, kidnapped, victims, perpetrators of crimes, both violent crimes
8:09
Speaker 1: and other crimes. The problem is how long do you
8:12
Speaker 1: keep this information and what does it used for? Because
8:14
Speaker 1: if it's if it can be if it can be
8:16
Speaker 1: used for other agencies? Can it be used for homeland
8:20
Speaker 1: security to find the folks that are illegal? And then
8:24
Speaker 1: the issue of privacy, and that's a big one. The
8:27
Speaker 1: ALU and other civil libertarians are just hating this invasion
8:31
Speaker 1: of privacy. And the point is that privacy is a myth. Okay,
8:35
Speaker 1: it doesn't exist anymore, and this one is more immediate.
8:41
Speaker 1: You go to England, for example, the London, okay, And
8:44
Speaker 1: that's by the way. The city of London is a
8:46
Speaker 1: mile square. I mean Greater London is outside of that,
8:49
Speaker 1: and there are various neighborhoods, but London itself is a
8:51
Speaker 1: mile square. Every single street and corner is under video
8:58
Speaker 1: surveillance everyone and they know exactly who's going. You go
9:02
Speaker 1: to China, now, granted China doesn't have a lot of
9:06
Speaker 1: constitutional protections, do you know that every single person. In China,
9:10
Speaker 1: we're talking one point two billion people. They have the
9:16
Speaker 1: face recognition system on file and know exactly where you
9:20
Speaker 1: are and can be anytime, any place, and or on.
9:27
Speaker 1: We're moving in that direction certainly, with AI able to
9:31
Speaker 1: instantly connect people with people. And then the issue is
9:36
Speaker 1: what do we do in terms of guardrails? Can we
9:38
Speaker 1: do guardrails? Of course, we can limit the ability or
9:42
Speaker 1: the amount of information that has passed on. For example,
9:44
Speaker 1: we have Hippo rules which protect you and your medical information.
9:50
Speaker 1: There's some exceptions and they make sense, and you would
9:54
Speaker 1: think we would have the same kind of rules here.
9:57
Speaker 1: But the premise here is how far are can government
10:01
Speaker 1: go in finding out who you are? The IRS can
10:06
Speaker 1: find out where you work, you have to tell them,
10:08
Speaker 1: but where you work, how much money you make, your
10:11
Speaker 1: dependence that information is there. Your insurance company certainly has
10:18
Speaker 1: access to your medical information. So there are exceptions, but
10:23
Speaker 1: they're all protected by law, and you would think the
10:26
Speaker 1: same thing goes on here, So you're going to this
10:28
Speaker 1: is just the start of a lot of controversy. AI
10:32
Speaker 1: has some incredible abilities, and one of them is to
10:36
Speaker 1: figure out who you are, where you are, what you buy,
10:38
Speaker 1: how you shop. And the argument is they can even
10:41
Speaker 1: find out what your and where you go and don't go.
10:46
Speaker 1: And you put enough information out there, AI can figure
10:50
Speaker 1: out every time you go to a store, every time
10:54
Speaker 1: you go to a bordello. For example, who goes to
10:58
Speaker 1: a bordello? By the way, when did whorehouses become bordellos?
11:02
Speaker 1: You want to explain that one to me, I have
11:04
Speaker 1: no clue. I don't either. Sounds like a wine, doesn't it.
11:08
Speaker 1: And you don't see signs in front that say bordello.
11:12
Speaker 1: I like a nice, robust bordello. Yes, Okay. The Trump
11:19
Speaker 1: administration is going after some more personal information from people,
11:25
Speaker 1: and there is I think a point where the line
11:28
Speaker 1: is crossed. I just did a story about license plate
11:31
Speaker 1: readers and the reason that they're around and the controversy
11:34
Speaker 1: surrounding them. But at least I think there are legitimate
11:37
Speaker 1: reasons for the license plate readers out there. Well, I
11:41
Speaker 1: don't know the reason for this one. There is a
11:43
Speaker 1: tiny federal agency that protects the public from injuries caused
11:48
Speaker 1: by lawnmowers, coffee makers, toasters. And of course you've heard
11:55
Speaker 1: the problem that Helen Keller had as she was trying
11:59
Speaker 1: to read uh, she ended up reading a waffle iron
12:03
Speaker 1: by mistake. Uh. In any case, you're all shaking your heads.
12:09
Speaker 1: Why do you do that to me? I'm in the
12:12
Speaker 1: middle of a segment, and you guys shake your heads
12:17
Speaker 1: and say stuff. Okay. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, responsible
12:22
Speaker 1: for tracking and issuing recalls of dangerous products sold in
12:26
Speaker 1: the United States, UH is now pressuring hot pressure, pressuring
12:30
Speaker 1: hospital executives er rooms to share personally identifiable, identifiable health
12:36
Speaker 1: data with a private contractor, which is now keeping track
12:41
Speaker 1: of all this, and hospital lawyers are in industry experts
12:45
Speaker 1: are saying, wait a minute, why and where do you
12:48
Speaker 1: think you have the authority because a law says you don't.
12:53
Speaker 1: And think about this for a moment. Is it legitimate
12:56
Speaker 1: for the government to UH to collect this information? Well?
13:00
Speaker 1: It certainly the government should be interested in the safety
13:04
Speaker 1: the products safety, no question about it. However, do you
13:09
Speaker 1: really need the names of people? Do you need the
13:12
Speaker 1: addresses of kids, for example, who have been injured misusing
13:19
Speaker 1: a lawnmower, putting their heads in the lawnmower for example,
13:22
Speaker 1: by mistake, No, I don't think so, And a lot
13:26
Speaker 1: of people are saying, no, all you have to do
13:27
Speaker 1: is figure out how many people, under what circumstances, how
13:33
Speaker 1: dangerous the product is, how to make it safer? Do
13:37
Speaker 1: you really need the person's name and address? And this
13:42
Speaker 1: then is well, what it is is the administration trying
13:46
Speaker 1: to get as much information from people as possible and
13:50
Speaker 1: then being used for all manner things for example, following
13:54
Speaker 1: people up on immigration issues that's the big one, or
13:58
Speaker 1: finding people at somehow, or violating laws regarding secrets classified information.
14:06
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing things out there that I view this
14:10
Speaker 1: information really dedicated to do. And so the goal in
14:14
Speaker 1: this one is to obtain American's medical records from emergency
14:20
Speaker 1: room visits. And they want it from all the information
14:24
Speaker 1: from a broken bone to childhood vaccine, even reaction to
14:29
Speaker 1: suicide attempts. But again, do you need that information as
14:34
Speaker 1: to the individual itself? And we're talking about in this
14:39
Speaker 1: case a private contractor has been hired to analyze all
14:45
Speaker 1: of this information. And when we talk about AI, oh
14:48
Speaker 1: good god, can you imagine how much information is out there?
14:52
Speaker 1: You know? The reality is with AI you can find out,
14:56
Speaker 1: You can find out pretty quickly anyway. So is it's
15:00
Speaker 1: almost like you're almost like you're putting up. Well, you're
15:03
Speaker 1: peeing in the ocean, You're peeing against the wave. It's
15:06
Speaker 1: just not gonna work, right, And for the most part,
15:09
Speaker 1: any protection you have, is it gonna work? I don't know.
15:12
Speaker 1: But in this case there's a contractor, Conza Health that
15:15
Speaker 1: is collecting this and analyzing this for the government. Problem
15:21
Speaker 1: is a law doesn't allow them to do that, and
15:24
Speaker 1: Konza Health is sending out emails to emergency rooms across
15:30
Speaker 1: the country saying you must comply. You must comply due
15:36
Speaker 1: to executive an executive order and boys, everybody up in
15:41
Speaker 1: the air. Acting CSPC. This agency's chairman, Peter Feldman, said
15:48
Speaker 1: the agency is investigating in AI enabled workflows all of
15:53
Speaker 1: this to improve the quality and quantity of injury injury
15:56
Speaker 1: injury surveillalist data. You know where he did this. He
15:59
Speaker 1: was at a tool to industry toy event when he said,
16:02
Speaker 1: this a toy industry event because this agency, and rightly so,
16:08
Speaker 1: investigates toys that are dangerous. Why everything else information from
16:15
Speaker 1: people going to the er. The CPSCS has a two
16:21
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen page operating manual which says specifically, hospitals
16:26
Speaker 1: do not have to include identify all information dame's birth
16:30
Speaker 1: dates addresses when reporting cases, so I don't usually I'm
16:35
Speaker 1: not usually in favor of civil libertarians when it comes
16:39
Speaker 1: to police gathering data. I don't have any problem with
16:43
Speaker 1: that because I think I'd go after the bad guys,
16:46
Speaker 1: and whatever invasion of my privacy I think is not
16:51
Speaker 1: as important as getting the bad guys. But it's a
16:53
Speaker 1: question of philosophy, that's what it is. The ACLU says,
16:57
Speaker 1: I'd rather have a thousand ill tea men go free
17:02
Speaker 1: than one innocent man convicted, and I go the other way.
17:07
Speaker 1: I'd rather see a thousand innocents get convicted and one
17:14
Speaker 1: let go by mistake, and then we grab them later
17:17
Speaker 1: on and then it's one thousand and one and everybody
17:19
Speaker 1: gets tossed into prison. There you go. I am an American,
17:24
Speaker 1: a true American, and I believe in First Amendment rights,
17:27
Speaker 1: don't I. But anyway, I have a problem with this
17:31
Speaker 1: for sure, and I don't think and I think those
17:33
Speaker 1: who have problems with it, I think it's legitimate. Okay, Now,
17:37
Speaker 1: a little fun and a little bit of history. On
17:40
Speaker 1: the way to Las Vegas on the on the one
17:42
Speaker 1: fifteen Freeway or the fifteen Freeway. There was was a
17:49
Speaker 1: little restaurant, a little coffee shop that was the bun Boy, right,
17:53
Speaker 1: remember that, and it's been closed down for a while.
17:56
Speaker 1: But right next to it there's the one hundred and
17:59
Speaker 1: thirty four foot world's tallest thermometer, which still works. And
18:06
Speaker 1: why would that be built? Well, the owner of Bunboy
18:13
Speaker 1: decided he was going to put up thermometer because every
18:16
Speaker 1: time someone stopped there, it was, my god, it is
18:19
Speaker 1: hot here in the know of the desert. How hot
18:22
Speaker 1: is it? I don't know. So he puts up the thermometer,
18:25
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty four feet high foot high thermometer.
18:29
Speaker 1: And why one hundred and thirty four feet exactly because
18:35
Speaker 1: the hottest place on Earth and the hottest time was
18:40
Speaker 1: at that place, which is the gateway to Death Valley,
18:44
Speaker 1: and that was July tenth, nineteen thirteen, when it hit
18:48
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty four degrees hottest place on Earth
18:53
Speaker 1: and the highest record that has ever been recorded. How
18:58
Speaker 1: about that? And you want to buy it? Still can?
19:00
Speaker 1: By the way, the agent real Station, Baron Castillo, says,
19:05
Speaker 1: there are four legitimate buyers right now looking at it.
19:10
Speaker 1: A million eighty five includes over four acres of land
19:13
Speaker 1: could be used for anything, storage space, solar panels, which
19:16
Speaker 1: makes sense and can be developed for anything. Retail store
19:21
Speaker 1: back again to a coffee shop. Even a good sized
19:24
Speaker 1: freezer is included. That's working with the thermometer. And the
19:31
Speaker 1: reality is what's really needed is charging stations, because that's
19:35
Speaker 1: halfway from LA to LA to Palm to Las Vegas,
19:42
Speaker 1: and if you have an EV, you have to charge
19:45
Speaker 1: it again. That's one of the downsides of evs, man,
19:47
Speaker 1: because you have range anxiety. I do, which is why
19:50
Speaker 1: I'm getting rid of my EV. Whether it's going to
19:52
Speaker 1: be a hybrid or an all a gas car, I
19:54
Speaker 1: don't know yet, but I used to go when I
19:57
Speaker 1: drove much younger days because I won't on that fifteenth freeway.
20:01
Speaker 1: Try doing that on a Friday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Yeah, yeah,
20:06
Speaker 1: it's a joy. That's an eight hour ride, which should
20:08
Speaker 1: be a four or five hour ride from Las Vegas
20:12
Speaker 1: down to LA. So you're crazy to drive it. But
20:15
Speaker 1: right in the middle there. Oh and this summer, what
20:18
Speaker 1: are we looking at. It's going to be a low
20:23
Speaker 1: of one hundred and eleven degrees to a high of
20:26
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen degrees next week, and what are
20:32
Speaker 1: you going to do. Well, You're going to probably go
20:35
Speaker 1: to one of four charging stations. There's no longer that
20:37
Speaker 1: coffee shop, which is so horrible that it closed down.
20:40
Speaker 1: I mean that was just the humanity of it. I
20:43
Speaker 1: love that place. And so you are going. Normally you
20:46
Speaker 1: would go, how hot is it? Man? Is it hot?
20:50
Speaker 1: You know? You don't have to ask, because there's that
20:53
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty four foot thermometer and still the
20:57
Speaker 1: tallest thermometer in the world. It works, it's kind of neat.
21:04
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it all right. Coming up,
21:07
Speaker 1: it is time for Rich Deburrow Rich on Tech our
21:11
Speaker 1: Tech Segment with Rich. I just said that, didn't I.
21:14
