  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM640, the Bill Handel Show on
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: This is a story I want to share with you.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: And again, it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: supports not only my thinking, but so many Americans thinking
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: that the administration and politically now is missing the boat.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: The optics are horrific.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Do Americans really care about the cost of living, affordability,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: the cost of gas, the cost of food?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Not really. Not really. That's not on our minds. You
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: know what's on our minds? The illegal voters, the fraud
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: that's going on.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: For example, The Trump administration just charged 28 immigrants for
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: allegedly voting and registering to.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Vote in California.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Proof positive that there is widespread fraud that has to
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: be taken care of. 28 people were charged, facing federal charges,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: that they illegally registered to vote. I don't have a
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: problem with that. You know, go ahead and charge them.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: And if they voted illegally, so be it. And then
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: the issue is, did they purposely do it?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Was it a mistake?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: That's up to the courts. But the problem is, is
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: that these 28 are proof positive that the 20 million
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: people in California who vote, it's riddled with fraud.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: 28 equals millions. And here we go.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: The authorities filed a lawsuit also against L.A. County election officials.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: And what it wants to do is force the election
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: officials not count up to 20,000 registered voters ballots that
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the feds think, suspect may be non-citizens. You cannot count
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: these ballots because we believe they're non-citizens.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: How do we know that? Because we have found 28 people.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Therefore, 20,000 should not be counted.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Now, at this point.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It's only the lawsuit is to have them segregate the votes,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: to have L.A. and the city and the county segregate
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the votes, not necessarily not allow them to vote.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Just make sure that we know and then we'll deal
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: with it. Well, here's the problem is Rob Bonta.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Who is the attorney general, was at an event yesterday,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and he talked about voter fraud, saying, first of all,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: if the suspects are guilty, yeah, they should be charged.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: And then he went on to say that the charges
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: are hardly proof that California, the elections are fraught with fraud,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: just full of fraudulent voters, as the president has said.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: So he goes, here we go, 28 out of 23
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: million registered voters in California are Now, just a drop
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: in the bucket. Let's go through some figures. And this
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: is Bonta. That is 0.0001%. Therefore, that's proof that the
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: numbers are overwhelming. And Bonta says that proves my point,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: that there is no widespread fraud. You know, for example,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: the election being stolen in 2020, as the president alleged.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And they did find some voter fraud, dozens of cases
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: of voter fraud out of 150 million votes. So you
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: find dozens of cases prove positive that the elections are fraudulent.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And I think this is where people are really concerned
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: about democracy. Are they concerned about the president taking over
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the government, basically affecting a coup where he becomes president
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: for life? No, no, I don't think anybody believes that. However,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: making the American public, not forcing them, but let's say
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: suggesting that all voting is rigged. There is no such
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: thing as a fair election unless Republicans win.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Remember that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So here's California being accused of massive fraud. By the way, Arizona,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: which went for Biden in a really close race in 2020, is, oh,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: this is Nevada, that went.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: For Biden in 2020.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: The Department of Homeland Security claimed that Nevada has 16,000
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: non-citizens on.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Its voter rolls.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And here are the names, 186 people, of which, by
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the way, all were U.S.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Citizens who could vote.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Proof positive that Nevada is rife with fraudulent voters. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: now we move into the political arena. Let me ask
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: how many people are really concerned about that. I know
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: MAGA supporters are. MAGA supporters believe that they believe that
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: prices are low.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: They've gotten lower.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: They believe that gasoline is not as expensive as it is.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: They believe that inflation has been controlled and is dropping
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and is dropping. OK, that's a given for MAGA supporters. However,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you know, you look at someone who heretofore was a
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Trump supporter. being told that prices are lowering and yet
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: now looking at the cost of gasoline and people are,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: if you look at the stories, they can't afford to
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: drive and food is out of control.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It's just expensive.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: And so where are the optics? Where are the optics?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: What's important to us? The voter fraud. All these millions
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: and millions of voters out there that are being fraudulently
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: counted by the Democrats, mind you. There is no voter
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: fraud in Republican circles. That does not exist. And again,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: as ridiculous as that is, what's more important? That golf course?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: The big blue gorgeous bill?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: The big beautiful bill? We have the ballroom.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: We have the Arc de Triomphe being built. And not
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: a word about how expensive life is other than prices
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: are down. I tell you, well, we'll see what the
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: midterms have to say.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yesterday, the president was in Kansas and he was asked
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: why he was in Kansas. Kansas has not put a
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Democratic senator, has not elected a Democratic senator in 100 years.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And now we have a very close race. And the
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: president said. I am here because I think it's too close,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: but the polls are fake.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: None of the polls are real. Then why are you here?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: If Kansas is a ruby red state and the polls
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: say it's no longer, why are you here?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. And you're seeing Republicans bailing out, man.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: You see Republicans backing away from Trump support and Trump
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: endorsements big time.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You'll see that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll wait to the midterms. It's fascinating stuff. We
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: know there's going to be a blue wave. Now, is
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: it going to be a small little tiny two-foot wave
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: or is it going to be a tsunami? And that's
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: sort of up in the air.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: All right. The L.A.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Olympics coming. The 28 L.A. Olympics are coming. And a
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: couple of things about how you, me, we are going
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: to pay through the nose. By the way, that should
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: actually be an Olympic event. Paying through the nose. It's
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: a new one that's going to come to us. We'll
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: do that when we come back.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: For stories we are covering, Alberta province in Canada has
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: voted to stay in Canada.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: They've had a couple of.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Votes so far recently in the last few decades. And no,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: we want to stay no matter what. And the relationship
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: between Ukraine and the U.S., specifically Zelensky and the president,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: our president, falling apart very quickly, unfortunately.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: OK, moving to the Olympics, L.A. 28.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: So here we go with the third Olympics, modern Olympics
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: here in Los Angeles.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: First one, 1932. Second one, 1984. Third one.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: 2028. What makes LA and the Olympics so interesting is
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the only two times the Olympics have ever made money
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: for the city was our two Olympics, 1932 and 1984.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Usually Olympics go completely over budget, sometimes just astronomically over budget,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and sometimes science fiction intergalactically over budget. I think Montreal
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: lost $ 3 billion to Other cities have lost in the
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: billions of dollars. The big puppy on this one is
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the Beijing Olympics, and it is reported to have lost
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: $ 60 billion. But that was not about the Olympics making money.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: It was about China putting itself on the world stage,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: and it worked. Okay, so now we go LA 28.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And keep in mind that the Olympic Committee is not
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: part of our city.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It is separate.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: It is a nonprofit that is not connected with the
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: city other than the Olympics are being held in our city.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We are the venue. And so L.A.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: 28 has cut a deal with the Olympics in terms
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: of cut a deal with the city in terms of
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: who's responsible. So on Friday, city controller Kenneth Mayha did
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: something that L.A. controllers almost never do. He subpoenaed L.A.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: 28.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Former controller Ron.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Galperin said he issued one subpoena. one subpoena once in
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: his time at office. So what's the dispute over? Well,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: it's a duty the city wrote.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Into the 2021 games agreement.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: LA28 has to give the city name, type, amounts, terms,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: purpose of every contract above a million dollars, along with
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: schedules and budgets for venue improvements. And here, why is that? Well, because, well,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: here's what ends up happening. If LA28 runs a deficit,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: The Games Agreement signed between the city and LA-28 makes
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: the city responsible for the first $ 270 million.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: The state of.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: California, this is over budget, the state of California covers
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the next $ 270 million. Beyond $ 540 million, the city is
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: on the hook. Real simple, as you put it in
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: a letter to LA 28's general counsel.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: If you go over budget, we pay.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: And what LA 28 has done, oh, it has shown
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: the public some information but the argument, it's pretty thin.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Its September 25th report puts the total budget at $ 7. 26
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: billion for the Olympics.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine that?
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: And that's up from $ 1.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: 15 billion. That's several hundred million dollars up. Look at
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: these numbers. I mean, they're striking. $ 1.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: 4 billion for venue infrastructure, $ 1. 42 billion for sports and games.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Operations, $ 588 million for other expenses.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is huge, huge money. And here is
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: what the city is saying. You're not giving us the
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: information that we need. You're doing this in the dark.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: And LA-28 is saying, oh, no, no, we showed it
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: to you. In one instance, they brought information to the council.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: The council looked at it, but instead of leaving it
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: with the council, took it back. And that's what the
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: city is so upset about. Now, on the plus side
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: for LA-28... Sponsorship has been pretty strong. About 4 million
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: tickets have already been sold. And are we going to, well,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: let me.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Ask you this.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I'm asking people who are going to the Olympics. And Neil,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: are you going to the Olympics? Any games?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: No.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Not scheduled. Will, how about you?
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I might look into Special Olympics, though, because the prices
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: were so crazy on the regular Olympics.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's right, because I like the Special Olympics, especially
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: the paralegal, where you have people with one leg.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Those prices are half price to go to the games. Amy,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: are you going?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: No, only because I tried to get tickets and didn't
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: get picked in that lottery.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Which is really interesting. That's how much interest there is. Anne, Olympics,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: yes or no? Maybe.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I might be working it. And Mario, yay or nay
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: on the Olympics? Maybe as well. Okay. Well, I'm a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: big no.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: The only one I'm interested in doing is going to
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: opening or closing, maybe opening. That was the big one,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: the opening of the Olympics, opening ceremonies. The best ticket
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I could find was $ 8, 000 a ticket. And that's in
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the nosebleed seats.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Wow. I mean, it is nuts. It's a once in
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a lifetime experience. Yeah, I understand.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: And so is spending $ 16, 000 for two tickets where you're
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: looking at the field and you're so far up, everybody
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: looks like flies.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And you only get to see half of them because
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: they're doing the opening ceremony in two places. That's also true.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: That's also true. Wow. And so that just doubles the revenue.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens with the Olympics and see if
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: it is going to make money.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, there's no way. Is the city going to pay?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I believe that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: The question is, how much is the city going to pay?
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: You tell me on that one. All right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Coming up. What do I have coming up here? Where
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: do I put that? No, that's my next commercial. Trending.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Did you check your butt? I've checked my butt. Okay. Oh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: here we go.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Damn, I am good. Amelia Earhart, the latest.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, you couldn't find your Amelia Earhart story? Yeah, I
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: put it behind. It was behind some copy. Leave me alone.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Did Amelia Earhart use life source water on the airplanes?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I'm combining the two.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Okay. Why don't we take a break?
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Big news about Amelia Earhart.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Amelia Earhart comes up every once in a while because
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Amelia Earhart is one of those American figures, those historical
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: figures that are just fascinating.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: First of all, we have a local connection to Amelia Earhart.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: She flew out of and her home airport was Hollywood
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Burbank Airport, which is just up the street, our local airport.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: And that was her base of operations. And I think
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: she lived in North Hollywood. And if you go to
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: the North Hollywood Park, I think there's a statue of
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Amelia Earhart. And if you go to Hollywood Burbank Airport,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: they have a display case with some of artifacts and
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: some of the clothing that she wore.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: So she is a big deal.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Now, as we all know, or you should know, Amelia Earhart,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: a pioneer aviator at a time when women weren't aviators.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: She set all kinds of records in flight aircraft. First
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: woman to, for example, fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: and a bunch of other records that she set. She
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: was on her way doing an around-the-world flight at the equator.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: With her navigator, Fred Noonan. And the third to last leg,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: because obviously they didn't have the fuel. I mean, this
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: is 1937 we're talking about. So she had to land
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: every few hundred miles. And the third to last leg
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: on her way to an island before she was going
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: to go to Honolulu was Howland Island, this tiny speck.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: of an island in sort of the middle of Pacific Ocean.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: And in those days, how did you navigate? Well, there
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: wasn't radar. There weren't beacons. They did it one of
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: two ways. Dead reckoning, which means you sort of aim
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and you figure out where you're going to go, or
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: celestial navigation, where you check the stars and you check
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: the position of the sun. And if it's cloudy, you
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: have no celestial navigation. You're now down to dead reckoning.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: It is not hard to miss this speck of an
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: island in the middle of the Pacific when you're flying
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: with that kind of navigational help, which is basically none.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: And so she disappears. And now comes one of the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: great mysteries of aviation.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Ever since then, 1937 to today, people are looking for
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Amelia Earhart. And the latest, and there are groups that
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: are doing this. I mean, there have been dozens of
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: organizations that have put this together, and it's not cheap either.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: So the latest was off to this island someplace where
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: there was a photo. It was, I believe, a satellite
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: photo of that showed what looked like could be.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Parts of an airplane. Aha, we found her.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Well, no, it was a bunch of trees that were
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: sort of shaped kind of like and sand was over
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the trees and it looked like it was an optical illusion.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: There have been all kinds of theories that she died
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: in Japan. in a prisoner of war camp that she
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: was captured by the Japanese, because keep in mind the
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Japanese in the Pacific Islands at this time controlled it
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: during World War II. And so really nobody knows. And
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: she continues to be this historical figure. That is just
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: it just fascinates all of us. It's almost like not quite.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's not fair.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I was going to say it's almost like the fascination
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: with Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War. No, it's not
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: quite that not quite that fanatic. But I'll tell you,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: among aviation circles, you bet she's one of the great mysteries.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants to find her. I personally don't care. But
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: it's an interesting story. Interesting lady, too. She took her
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: first plane ride in 1920 and she fell in love
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: with flying at that point. And she flew an Electra Lockheed.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: It was a Lockheed plane. And Lockheed was based out
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: of Hollywood Burbank Airport. So there's a real Southern California
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: connection to her. Are they ever going to find her?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Probably not. If they do find her, what's going to happen?
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Whoopee.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a big story for 30 seconds.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And then it completely disappears.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Let's get local for a moment. And that is, do
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: you have a housekeeper? Do you have a gardener?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Do you have your gardener slash housekeeper sign an NDA,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: a non-disclosure agreement?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: What is that about?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: It's a thing. It's now a thing. And I'll share
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: that with you.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Quick word about a new podcast that I'm putting together
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: with Linz and it's a travel podcast called Excessive Baggage.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: How unusual because I bring a lot of excessive baggage
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: to the table and we have Excessive Baggage.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I think website is already up. You can go to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Excessive Baggage.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Excessive Baggage podcast I think is on Instagram and Oh,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: we've got some great photos and, you know, me having
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: sex with Eddie, my favorite giraffe. I was about to
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: say my favorite gorilla, but that's next. time out uh
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: when uh i dump eddie who is already anticipating uh
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: losing the relationship that was weird how's that for a
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: plug for yes yeah that was pretty strange that really
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: was And I don't know if you've ever had sex
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: with a giraffe.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: You need a very tall ladder. I don't know if
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you know that.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: By the way, I really didn't. But it's just sort
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: of a fun way to plug everything. What does that
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: say about you that you had to clarify that?
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: What?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. That's what I thought.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: A couple of big stories we are looking at. Walmart
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: has a new $ 120 membership. And it's sort of Costco-ish membership.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: And we'll see what you get with that one. Am
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I going to join?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Probably not. All right.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, and Ukraine and the United States. Boy, specifically Zelensky
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: and President Trump. Their relationship is certainly not as good
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: as it was.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Now, something I thought was kind.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Of interesting, New York Times article talked about NDAs, nondisclosure agreements.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: A couple of things that happen with NDAs, also non-compete clauses. Non-compete,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and sometimes the two get too confused, and they are not.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Non-compete clauses, when you sell a business or you're working
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: for someone and you bail out, the business has you
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: sign a non-compete, which means you can't, like when we
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: sold the Center for Surrogate Parenting to a medical organization,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: there was a non-compete for three years. Can't be in
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: the same business for three years or five years. You
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: can't go in perpetuity, but that's a legal issue. The
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: other one is the non-disclosure agreement, the NDA. The NDA
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: happens when usually you're buying a business and you're looking
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: at it. You're looking for employment, for example, and before
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you start talking, the NDA Potential employer signs or has
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: you sign an NDA, non-disclosure agreement, that whatever you look at,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: whatever you discover, whatever I show you cannot be disclosed, NDAs.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: And there was a lot of legal issues because a
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: lot of, for example, in sexual misconduct cases where the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: accusation of it's usually a male business owner or a
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: superior owner, was accused of having untoward relations, not even rape,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: but let's just say harassment, sexual harassment. And a settlement happened.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: The woman would normally have to sign an NDA, nondisclosure. Nope,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: can't say a word about it. Well, let me tell you,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: the law changed on that one. So NDAs are for
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: people you think are way above our grade, way above
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: our pay scale.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what's going on?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: People have gardeners. People have cleaning ladies. When building a house,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: people hire architects, for example. Housekeepers, I just think I
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: mentioned that. Would you think that an NDA would be
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: part of the contract?
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: It is. Now, why is that? Well, I mean, think
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: about it. We really don't have much privacy out there.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Usually when there was, let's say, a housekeeper that was
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: not particularly honest, the housekeeper was basically told a few people,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: and there'd be some risk as to there's jewelry here,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: the jewelry's kept on the second floor. This is when
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: the mom and dad are not in the building. They
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: both work and they're not at home. And so you've
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: got criminal activity going on. Well, today it is far riskier.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Your information is out there.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Where you work, I can find that out in two
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: seconds where you work, where you live, what neighborhood you're in,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: what kind of security you have. Is there a security
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: company you work with?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Find all that out.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: So the risks are higher and the perception that these
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: people that are in your life, and I'm not talking
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: about wealthy, wealthy people either. Wealthy people have nondisclosure agreements
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: signed by their employees all day long. But I'm talking
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: about people, for example, housekeepers. A lot of people have
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: cleaning ladies that come in and are asked to sign
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: nondisclosure agreements. I mean, it is now a thing. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: would never in a million years see a nondisclosure agreement.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I think when I went to visit SpaceX— A friend
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: of a friend, an engineer, a space engineer, got me
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: in there and had to, I had to show my U.S.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Citizenship, otherwise you can't get in the door.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: And if memory serves, I had to sign a nondisclosure
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: before I could walk past the lobby. You can't share
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: what you see in there, particularly in certain areas that
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: are blocked off because it's restrictions upon restrictions. Because a
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: lot of what they do is for government work, although
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: basically everybody knows what's going on with SpaceX. Yeah. The
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: point is, it just tells us where we are in
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: this world, that we've just reached a new level of
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: invasion of our privacy, the paranoia we have of those
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: around us, what's available out there. We have no privacy whatsoever.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: And those things that should be private. And we're talking about,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: in my case, I would think particularly housekeepers, I think
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: that's gardeners maybe. where they find things out about their
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: employer that the employer doesn't want to share, doesn't want
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: to share.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So what happens? Well, you've got an NDA. Weird.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: NDA is now part of our life. Boy, the world
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: is changing. It really has, so dramatically. Okay, what's coming up?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Rich DeMuro is coming up. We've got a lot to
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: cover with Rich on this Tuesday morning and two weeks
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: from today. I'm just about to do my mail-in ballot
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: this afternoon, and I'm going to send mine in, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be voting five times today. no voter fraud.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I'm going to use five different names
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: and have my two dogs vote just to prove how
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: much voter fraud is going on. So there'll be seven
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: votes cast for a particular proposition for or against. And
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I think next week, I'm going to next week. Yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I think next week I'm going to be doing my
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: voter guide, how I'm voting and why I'm voting and
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: why I'm voting this way or that way.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: And the same rules always apply.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: You cannot, will not, should not follow my voter guide
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: in any way as telling you or hoping you or
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: you following it. Otherwise, what are the consequences? You are
