• 0:01
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: A M six forty.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here, good morning. It
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: is a Wednesday morning, April twenty nine, Humpday Wednesday. Bad
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: news on the gas front. It's going up again and
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it's going to keep on going up for sure. And
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: then the other bit of news is the FCC is
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: now challenging ABC's license to broadcast at stations and it
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: based on the fact that, well, it has nothing to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: do with Jimmy Kimmel, of course, even though the President
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: has asked that Kim will be fired. To Millennia, Trump
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: has asked that Kim will be fired. It has to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: do with the DIDI programs, and it's a little wonky.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: But in terms of I think they're going to argue discrimination.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It's just nuts. It is nuts, Okay.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So last night, let's move it to the governorship of California.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Last night was the next candidate debate, and the debate
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the candidates clashed over gas prices and housing and insurance.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Mostly the attack went against Xavier Bessera and the Republicans
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: attacking Besserah because he has growing momentum and he got
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the benefit of Eric Swallwell, a representative who dropped out
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: because there were sexual assault in his conduct allegations. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: whenever any of this happens, of course, you don't want
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to distract from the campaign. So it's never I was
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: wrong and I have no business running. That is impossible
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for a candidate to ever say. It's I am now
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a distraction and I want to move away from that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I've never heard anything other than that. The number one
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: candidate in terms of the polls former Fox Who's host
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, he leads all the candidates at this point,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and he ripped into Bessarah for promising Besarah's promise to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: declare a state of emergency to address rising homeowners insurance policy,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and he said the governor lacks A governor would lack
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the constitutional authority to do that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's really weird.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I think, in my opinion, I think that a governor
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: could do that only because the law says that a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: governor can declare as certainly a president can declare a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: state of emergency just by calling it a state of emergency,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and I think the governor can do the same thing.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: As stupid as that sounds, if Bessarah were to be elected,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and he called a state of emergency on homeowners insurance.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of stupid. But can he do it? Yeah?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Probably, And so Hilton said, we can't have a governor
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: who doesn't understand how government works. Butsero came back and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: defended himself, saying he knows a lot better than Hilton does.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: We don't need a talking head from Fox News to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: tell us how the government works. I mean, it's getting delicious,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it really is. And here is the problem, and you
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: could see it last night in the gubernatorial debate, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that is everybody attacks everybody, for sure, But you only
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: have a couple of Republicans that are in the race.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Where you have how many Democrats that are vying for it?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Eight maybe eight.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Nine Democrats all viable for the most part, most of
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: them hated, well, everybody hates everybody, you know, and there's
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: no candidate that's actually liked.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And what's going to happen.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: What is happening is the Democrats are cannibalizing each other. Now,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: if the Democrats were all to line up with one candidate.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't even be close.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The Democrat would win the governorship easy, easy, pasy Howeverlifornia
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: has a law that the top two candidates who get
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the most number of votes they go on to the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: general election, which means that the top two may very
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: well be of the same party, and in this case
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: may very well be the Republicans. And for Democrats who
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: are looking at oh my god, are we really going
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to have a choice between one Republican or the other
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Republican as the next governor, the Democrats should line up.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have no choice. Someone has to come
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: out as a candidate. But here's the problem. Every one
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of them thinks that they are the best candidate out there.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Every one of them thinks that there is no not
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: even close. I am the best, So come to me
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and or vote for me as the other as the other.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Democrats are in the cannibalizing each other. That's it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's that simple. They're going to split the vote. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it's pretty crazy. The first half hour of the debate
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: affordability and they began sniping and talking about it and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: just screaming each other. All of them vote to accelerate
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: home construction in California. How do you do that. We'll
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: get rid of all of the regulations. That's why you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: can't build a home. It's crazy to build a home.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I mean the amount of money it takes and the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: length that it takes to go through the process. California,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything stated. There's no state in
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the Union or city in the United States, certainly as
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles is so not too many, not too many specifics.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Hilton promised to cap the price of gas at three
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: dollars per gallon?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: How does he do that? How does he do that?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: What controlling the price of oil, the world price of oil,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: telling refineries you can't charge more than three dollars a gallon.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: This is I swear this is going to be really quickly.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I remember running for class president in the third grade
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and my campaign was free pizzas for everybody on Friday.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Now I didn't win. Well, that was very popular, by
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the way, free pizzas. The kids really enjoyed that. Now,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: what are my chances of actually having obtained gotten somehow
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: pushed for free pizzas on Friday? About as much as
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: three dollars gas for everyone? Okay, and Amy, while I've
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: watched every minute of this campaign, which she does, which
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I love because I go out of my mind and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I just go I'm watching a Flintstone's rerun.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'd rather do that. That's more appropriate. What'd you think.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Overall of the you know, I like getting snippets of
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: what they want to do and that kind of thing.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I think it's very frustrating though, because they said, we've
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: got all this to get to and we want to
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: know in thirty seconds or less how you were going
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to solve homelessness. Well you can't do that, and so
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: they just get started with their answer and then you
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: hear the ding and then they go to the next person.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So debates are frustrating that way. But with eight candidates,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: you got to get to them as much as you can.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And there really isn't a debate. I mean, the only
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: way to get a legitimate debate is do it as
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a debate where you need two sides and one side
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: argues the other side, and it's an hour and a half.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And it's interesting to watch some of the candidates who
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: didn't get as much as many questions, or it didn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: seem like they did, so they insinuated themselves in, like
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Matt Mayhan just kept butting in, but he had good
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: points to say, like he was trying to make it
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a debate.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So it didn't work. Okay, we'll see. Are they going
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to be more? I think they're more debate scheduling.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Here it's another one.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: The next one is on CNN.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I believe they decided even though it's California not a
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: national platform, California is big enough that it warranted.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: So it's oh, yeah, the governor, Yeah, the governor of
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: California is a national figure almost by definition. All right, well,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: let me go right into it because some of the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: other big stories we're looking at have to do with
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: this story that I'm going to share with you. Let's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: start with all these stories about President Trump putting his
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: picture and his name on everything he possibly can. And
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: if I had to go through the list of where
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: his picture and where his name is now part of
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: any governmental entity, everything from you go to the National Parks,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: there is a pass with the picture of George Washington
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: on the pass. It has now been added with Donald
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Trump's picture. The Kennedy Center, of course, is the Donald
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Trump Kennedy Center. I mean, it just moves on and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: on and on. That is you know, I mean, does
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: that scare me? No, That's just ridiculous. That's a you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a self absorbed and narcissistic person who has the power
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to throw his name around and just oh, his signature
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: is now on currency and the trump bar x. Now
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you go on and on. None of that scares me.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: This thing with the FCC, this scares me. This is
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: where the line I believe is crossed. And this has
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to do with Jimmy Kimmel, the ongoing fight with Jimmy
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Kimmel and the administration.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: So the FCC.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Commission ordered a review of Disney that owns Kimmel, ABC
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: order review of Disney's broadcast licenses from its O and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: O owned and operated stations. And the way it works.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: There's a little inside baseball. The vast majority of stations
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: around the country are not owned by the networks, just
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the big markets. Those are O and O owned and operated,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: and those have individual licenses, as every station has a license.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And so what.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: The FCC is doing is straight out threatening Disney right out.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: There's no question. Now the government says, oh no, no,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: we're not threatening Disney at all.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with Kimmel.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: This has to do with we have the ability and
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the power to call for a review of the licenses,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: even though we don't call it for anybody else and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: has nothing to do with Kimmel, because we think that
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Disney is violating the law, while violating possible unlawful discrimination
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: laws by having a DEI program, they're still keeping DEI
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: in many cases.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: What's going to happen here? Well, are there licenses at risk?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Does the FCC have the power to do this? Yes,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it does. Can the FCC be stopped from doing this?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I think it can. Even though the federal government, the
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: FCC has the ability not only to investigate license earlier
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: than normal, it actually has the power to yank those licenses.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Now. Is that done?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time it has ever happened.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I've never reported on an FCC license being yanked from
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: a broadcaster ever. And again Brendan Carr says, oh, this
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: has nothing to do with Jimmy Kimmel, even though the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: president and now Milania has asked that Kimmell be fired.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: This is the second go round with Kimmel and the administration.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Same thing happened last time around, and this had to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: do with Jimmy Kimmel making I would guess, yeah, I
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: would argue tasteless jokes about Charlie Kirk and how he
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: was assassinated and just you know, people were upset, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I think rightly so. However, based on that, the FCC said,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: we are going this. Brendon Carr said, we are going
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: to yank the license. You better watch out. We're going
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to yank the license, and we demand that Jimmy Kimmel
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: will be fired.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, ABC.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Caved and put Kimmell on suspension and then a week
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: later put Kimmel back on the air because the backlash
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: was extraordinary, I mean, just completely insane.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: All Right, you know about.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: The ongoing fight between the Trump administration and Jimmy Kimmel,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and this fight happens to deal with what Kimmel said
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: in his monologues both before and after the Correspondence dinner.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And as you know, the way the Trump administration is
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: fighting Disney is through Jimmy Kimble effectively saying, we're going
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to take away your licenses to ABC, your licenses to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: broadcast if you don't fire Jimmy Kimmel. That was the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: first go round a few months ago, late last year,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and Disney cafed on that and Kimmel was suspended for
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a week and he was brought back a week later
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: simply because the backlash was extraordinary.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So here is the latest.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, so before the dinner, Kimmel, who does monologues about
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Trump almost every night, he hates Trump. What he did
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: is he pretended that he was going to be at
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the dinner, and he basically pretended that he was the
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: MC of the dinner, and he made fun of Millenia,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: made fun of the President. So this is two days
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: before the gunman opened fire. And what the federal law
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: enforcement officials have alleged is that what he called for
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: was basically, I don't think specifically assassinating the president, but
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the rhetoric that he is spewing out is such hatred
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that it endangers the people, endangers the population and Malania Trump.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Afterwards, because what he said on Monday night that was
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: his show.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Afterwards, Kimble responded to his criticism from the First family,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and he had made a remark about Milania Trump looking
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: like an expect ex expectant widow, and he said it
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: was a joke about their age difference. And then he said,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and look at the joy we see on her face
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: every time they were together.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: He said it was a light roast choke.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It was mainly about the fact he's almost eighty and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: she's younger than I am. I think he's fifty seven,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: so she fifty six. And it was not by any
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: stretch of the definition to call for an assassination. Now
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the government is going after call me, they arrested, call
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: me former FBI direct because he posted a picture of
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: some seashells that said eighty six forty seven, forty seven
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: refers to the president because he's forty five and forty seven,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: and eighty six is a threat to assassinate the president?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Does anybody think that it could be interpreted? And the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: administration is saying it is a threat? Right there, you
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: write eighty six about the president, It is a threat
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to kill the president. So if I say a restaurant
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: has eighty six something, or I go to Webster's dictionary,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the word assassination doesn't appear. Eighty six is getting rid
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: of putting aside? And can I say we should have
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the president impeached because he shouldn't.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Be the president?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Should I say if I said we should get rid
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: of the president, that's an assassination? That is a call
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to kill the president. That's the administration's position. That's how
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: this is. So he is now being threatened by Brendan
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Carr where ABC is that Disney's licenses, Dai ziones ABC
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: that originally he had said the first time around, we
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: can do this the hard way or the easy way.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That was in reference to the first time Kimmel was
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: suspended and ABC caved and and substations took Kimmel's show
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: off the air. Now you have some criticism because the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: allegation is that excuse me, The allegation is that Kim
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: has been calling for the assassination with his jokes, which
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: is absolutely not true. Milania Trump says, this rhetoric is horrible.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It divides the country. This is why everybody hates everybody.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: She did not bring up the post that the president
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: put up when those five lawmakers they had posted you
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: do not you don't have to follow illegal orders to
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: those five lawmakers, all of them had been in the service.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: He called them traders and they should or could be
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: put to death for saying that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: See that's okay, that's not a problem, but posting eighty
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: six forty seven, that's an assassination threat. Jimmy Kimmel talking
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: about what the president is like and what just a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: jerky's like. That is a threat that is encouraging assassination violence.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz, who is.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Not a big fan of those who oppose Trump, he
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: is a pro Trump guy. Even he said what Carr
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: said about about going after ABC's license, And by the way,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: what the government is saying is they're going after the
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: license not because of what Kimmel said. It's because of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: ABC's diversity program. And that's what's illegal, and that's why
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: we're going after the license or investigating the license. So
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Cruse said, what he said reference to Brendan Carr is
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: dangerous as hell. It's right out of Goodfellas, right out
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: of a mafiosa coming into a bar saying good or god,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: nice bar. If you have here, it'd be a shame
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: if something happened to it. And that's what Cruz is saying.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: So what's going to happen Legally? Does the FCC have
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: a right to investigate a broadcast facility? And this is
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: in the middle of their licensing. According to the licensee regulations,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: ABC doesn't have to go renew their license until twenty
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: twenty eight, and the FCC does have the power to say,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: we're going to look at it earlier.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Now, is there a defense? You bet you, because ABC is.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Going to go right to court and saying the only
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: reason you're doing this is to stop a comedian for
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: making jokes about the president. That's a violation of First
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Amendment and it is pure retribution. This has nothing to
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: do with an investigation that is legitimate. You are going
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: after ABC just because of Jimmy Kimmel and his jokes.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: They're gonna say, no, that's not true at all.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Is there any doubt? What is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a judge gonna do?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm a Joe, if I'm a judge,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna look at this and say wow. Right after
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Kimmel said this, you're now threatening to look at the licensing.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Brendan Carr twice has said, if you don't straighten up,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: if you don't fire Kimmel, we're gonna go after your license.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: That's not retribution at all. It's we're just interested in
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: looking at the DEI programs. That's why we're investigating your licensing.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: So does the FCC have power to do this?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Does the FCC have power to do this and stop
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: people from making jokes, from stopping the First Amendment. No,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: does the FCC have power to yank or investigate licenses
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: just for retribution sake? No really interesting stuff to say
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: the least. All right now, in light of the attack
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: of the attempted assassination attempt on the president on Saturday
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: night and the purported not purported, the shooter, go ahead
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and assue me if you want. Alleged the shooter never
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: got near the ballroom. I mean he ran downstairs and
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: went to a security checkpoint. Secret Service was there, and
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: he ran past one of the agents. They immediately pulled
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: their guns. Another agent tackled him. Five shots from the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Asian all missed. I might add, well, I think somebody's
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: going to talk to him about shooting or her. The
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: point is is that the administration has said they did
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: their job.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: They did exactly what they were supposed to do. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: said the same thing.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I said, I mean, they made a huge story about this,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I mean enormous, and I said, it's not that big
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: a story. It's a crazy guy attempting to break into
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the ballroom where the president was and the Secret Service
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: stopped him.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: That's the whole point.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And it became a huge story because as far as
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: he got, but he didn't get very far.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And there's some real problems.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got people in the Secret Service, former
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Secret Service officials saying there's a real.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Problem with the Secret Service.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: There aren't enough people, there aren't enough layers of security.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: The a couple of problems though with that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: First of all, the President pointed out, maybe rightly, so
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: this is why he needs that new ballroom, or we
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: need the new ballroom because if the President's going to attend,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: we need this big, beautiful ballroom because security, of course
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: would be insane at the White House. Well, the problem
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: is is that this was a private event. The White
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: House Correspondence Association put this on. The President is invited,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: here's a room where the President, the Vice president, the
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: top officials of the government are in one room. And
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: that is a little problematic. So we are being told,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: and I think we've talked about this before, there aren't
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: enough people secret Service. The agents are working way over time,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: they don't have the facilities that they need.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Training is down.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Money that's allocated the Secret Service is being cut constantly,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and so what was the problem here, and what is
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the problem whenever this happens, well, and whenever the president
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: goes anywhere outside of the White House, in this case
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: a hotel ballroom. People check in to the hotel and
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: this took place in the ballroom and there were tons
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: of security. There was tons of security, several layers of protection.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: We don't even know how many layers and what they
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: do because that's classified and it should be classified.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: But the Secret Service are they going to get more money?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: It has to be revamped, it really does.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: And they point to what happened on Saturday night see
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: case in point. You can't point to what happens Saturday
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: night because this proves Secret Service did its job completely.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Metropolitan Police were there and the guy got nowhere near
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the actual ballroom. He had checked in three days before,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: brought weapons with him. And what do you do do
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: you check every guest? You do a search of every
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: guest that's there. And that's a snapshot. So why for example,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: when they check in, now, what stas stops them from
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: going to another location maybe a safe deposit box, maybe
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: a locker, and pull out the weapons and go back
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to the hotel. You go through a metal detector in
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: and out of every hotel and out of every lobby.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the answer.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, the assassination attempts against presidents are many. We
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: don't even know how many there are. The Secret Service
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: won't tell us how many attempts on the president happen
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: every year, and they shouldn't tell us.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: So I think they did a good job.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: And former Secret Service stations are saying that not enough,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: all right, not enough I buy I don't buy that
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is gonna be a fun topic.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: This is about something called societal loss of humanity. And
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: this is me going online and talking to an avatar
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: or talking to talking to a character, talking to a date,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: talking to a computer, talking to a person that doesn't exist,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: because I'm lonely. Hey baby, what are you wearing? I'll
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: do that story when we come back. KFI AM six
