- 0:03Speaker 1: AM six forty.
- 0:06Speaker 2: An. I'm passing KFI AM six forty bill handle here
- 0:27Speaker 2: on a Twoco Tuesday Taco Tuesday, August eleventh, and some
- 0:34Speaker 2: of the big stories. We're looking at the death toll
- 0:37Speaker 2: from that earthquake that hit well, it was Columbia is
- 0:44Speaker 2: way up now, way up.
- 0:46Speaker 1: So one's sixty right now. It just went up again.
- 0:49Speaker 1: They're expecting it to go up as they continue looking
- 0:52Speaker 1: for Oh, it's going to be in the thousands.
- 0:53Speaker 2: As you looked at these buildings, apartment buildings collapsing.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I mean, it's just god awful.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Also the winning tickets of which there were none again
- 1:03Speaker 2: on the lottery.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Now it's what way over nine.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Hundred million dollars is going to probably if there's no winner,
- 1:11Speaker 2: because tomorrow night's drawing, they're going to figure at least
- 1:14Speaker 2: nine hundred and seventy five million dollars.
- 1:16Speaker 1: So it's just kissing a billion dollars. Okay.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Something going on, as always, another fight between California and
- 1:25Speaker 2: the Feds, the fight between California and particularly Donald Trump,
- 1:30Speaker 2: it does not stop, it keeps on going. And here
- 1:34Speaker 2: is the latest shot against California. First of all, we
- 1:38Speaker 2: start with a little bit of history. Over fifty years ago,
- 1:42Speaker 2: the California Coastal Commission was created to protect the state's
- 1:47Speaker 2: eight hundred and forty miles short shoreline. The Trump administration
- 1:52Speaker 2: is viewing the agency as a blockade to development and
- 1:56Speaker 2: once to curb its power. Now is the Trump administrations
- 1:59Speaker 2: that have the power to stop the state? Not really,
- 2:05Speaker 2: except it really does, and I'll explain why. So yesterday NOAH,
- 2:10Speaker 2: the National Oceanic and administer Adminispheric adminispheric at yeah whatever, misspheric, Yeah, yeah,
- 2:19Speaker 2: the atmosphere way up there, you know, up in the sky.
- 2:22Speaker 2: The administration I held a public hearing in Santa Monica,
- 2:26Speaker 2: and this was the first step in the Trump administration's
- 2:29Speaker 2: review of the powers of the Commission and other organizations
- 2:33Speaker 2: that oversee the coastline. The acting director at NOAH has
- 2:38Speaker 2: said that during this evaluation, that's what the hearing was about. Uh,
- 2:42Speaker 2: the agency is going to consider the extent in which
- 2:45Speaker 2: California has implemented and enforced programs and going to look
- 2:50Speaker 2: at coastal management and look at the terms of grants
- 2:55Speaker 2: or loans from the federal government. This is where the
- 2:59Speaker 2: fud have. Feds have enormous power. It's if you don't
- 3:04Speaker 2: do what we tell you to do, there ain't no
- 3:07Speaker 2: money going to you. And keep in mind that virtually
- 3:11Speaker 2: every public entity, the schools, everything, rely on federal money.
- 3:16Speaker 2: That's how states get a lot of their money. The
- 3:19Speaker 2: Feds come in and the administration is saying, you know,
- 3:23Speaker 2: we don't like California. You don't do what we want
- 3:25Speaker 2: to do, so here we go. And so a lot
- 3:29Speaker 2: of this is limiting the powers of the Commission. They're
- 3:32Speaker 2: arguing that too, that the very powers of the Commission
- 3:35Speaker 2: are illegal because of the administration's position.
- 3:41Speaker 1: We want more oil drilling offshore.
- 3:44Speaker 2: We want to allow development of property and win POWERO.
- 3:51Speaker 1: They don't want win power.
- 3:53Speaker 2: But fossil fuel plants. We want to control all that,
- 3:59Speaker 2: even along the cote. Now I will tell you about
- 4:02Speaker 2: the Coastal Commission. It is a pain in the ass
- 4:05Speaker 2: for anybody who has built or remodeled or tried to
- 4:10Speaker 2: buy coastal property. You deal with the Coastal Commission, and
- 4:13Speaker 2: they are brutal. They do not like the Commission, does
- 4:16Speaker 2: not like building, does not like you living there, does
- 4:22Speaker 2: not like anything that gets involved.
- 4:24Speaker 1: And in the way of birds.
- 4:27Speaker 2: You remember the snail darter that was a commission issue,
- 4:30Speaker 2: this tiny little fish that the Coastal Commission just stopped
- 4:36Speaker 2: all construction of an already approved I think it was
- 4:41Speaker 2: a dam or some kind of a water facility. And
- 4:43Speaker 2: they said the snail darter indigenous to want only one
- 4:47Speaker 2: part of the river involved and it so it stopped it,
- 4:53Speaker 2: right because they couldn't find They couldn't find the snail
- 4:57Speaker 2: dart or anyplace else. It was indigenous and it at risk. Okay,
- 5:01Speaker 2: so they stopped the cold. In the meantime, a year later,
- 5:04Speaker 2: there are a bunch of hikers that were hiking in
- 5:06Speaker 2: another part of the delta and they ran across the
- 5:10Speaker 2: river that they were literally stepping over snail garters. Right,
- 5:16Speaker 2: they were like rocks that you stepped over on the water.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I mean, this is the Coastal Commission. They are completely nuts. Now,
- 5:25Speaker 2: the issue is does California have the ability to control
- 5:29Speaker 2: its own shores? For the most part, states do. And
- 5:34Speaker 2: so the argument is going to be how far do
- 5:36Speaker 2: the FEDS control what heretofore the states controlled, Because as
- 5:41Speaker 2: you know, the administration is pushing very hard on it
- 5:46Speaker 2: has control over everything. It does not like states' rights,
- 5:50Speaker 2: which is interesting because conservatives likes states rights. The tenth
- 5:55Speaker 2: Amendment is a very big deal to conservative the conservative
- 5:59Speaker 2: political parties. To the conservative political view is the government
- 6:04Speaker 2: should not be involved. The Feds should not be involved,
- 6:09Speaker 2: States should be involved, States should decide. Except under the
- 6:13Speaker 2: Trump administration that is reversed completely. The states should have
- 6:17Speaker 2: no power. The Fed should have power. So now we've
- 6:21Speaker 2: got the Coastal Commission. And incidentally, what's going to happen
- 6:25Speaker 2: if the money is in fact cut off? They will
- 6:28Speaker 2: be lawsuits. Why will there be lawsuits? Because other states
- 6:32Speaker 2: will get money? The Southern states, they're coastlined, coastlines that
- 6:37Speaker 2: are regulated by whatever commissions they have. There's going to
- 6:41Speaker 2: be no argument that they have the ability to do that.
- 6:44Speaker 2: California does not. Because the fight continues, Rob Bonte, our
- 6:49Speaker 2: attorney general, has filed I don't know, hundreds of lawsuits
- 6:54Speaker 2: against the administration, hundreds in terms of the way we
- 7:01Speaker 2: we Californians deal with the law, deal with California land.
- 7:05Speaker 2: And it's just unfair that you're okay with Southern states
- 7:09Speaker 2: doing it and you're stopping us from doing it. And
- 7:11Speaker 2: that's what's happening. So there you go, Coastal Commission. I
- 7:16Speaker 2: mean there was you know, I talked to a I
- 7:20Speaker 2: talked to a developer once who wanted to build, and
- 7:25Speaker 2: there is a protected time when sea turtles you can't
- 7:28Speaker 2: build it during the time when sea turtles this is
- 7:31Speaker 2: on the coast are moving in because you know, you
- 7:35Speaker 2: can't get in.
- 7:35Speaker 1: The way of sea turtles.
- 7:37Speaker 2: And at the same time, there was indigenous animals that
- 7:43Speaker 2: were going towards the sea, and you couldn't build during
- 7:47Speaker 2: that time. And the two crossed over. There was no
- 7:51Speaker 2: time left where building was to take place. You couldn't build.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And that's how crazy the Coastal Commission is. Okay, there
- 8:00Speaker 2: was a story that we followed and that had to
- 8:04Speaker 2: do with the President not taking the new Katari airplane
- 8:11Speaker 2: from Ankora to the US. And then the story goes
- 8:17Speaker 2: he took the old air Force one because he wanted
- 8:20Speaker 2: to give service members in England the chance to see it.
- 8:24Speaker 2: And it sounded beyond stupid, and it was the big
- 8:29Speaker 2: issue is that the new airplane didn't have the security
- 8:31Speaker 2: that it needed. Well, the story got much bigger than that,
- 8:35Speaker 2: and it turns out that there was a method to
- 8:38Speaker 2: this madness where the president this was not anything that
- 8:42Speaker 2: wasn't exactly what he should have done. Why, because there
- 8:45Speaker 2: was a real threat, a credible thread that the Iranians
- 8:51Speaker 2: were going to attack, probably the airplane or his trip.
- 8:56Speaker 2: And so what happened is the secret service secretly took
- 9:01Speaker 2: him off the old Air Force one and put them
- 9:05Speaker 2: put him on another military plane, basically a seven fifty seven.
- 9:09Speaker 2: And the way it was done so basically very few
- 9:13Speaker 2: people knew. He was hiding the fact. The government was
- 9:15Speaker 2: hiding the fact. And they've done this before when a
- 9:18Speaker 2: president has to go certain places in which there's a
- 9:21Speaker 2: real threat. And in this case, the president boards old
- 9:25Speaker 2: Air Force one in front of reporters.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And waves, hey, I'm going home.
- 9:30Speaker 2: And what they did is he went out the other
- 9:32Speaker 2: side of the airplane, you know where the catering trucks
- 9:36Speaker 2: where the catering containers are put on, and he was
- 9:40Speaker 2: sneaked on to that and he was in the container
- 9:45Speaker 2: and it was brought to that seven fifty seven where
- 9:49Speaker 2: he secretly flew back home. And it was all because
- 9:55Speaker 2: of the threat. Has there ever been an attack on
- 9:58Speaker 2: Air Force one, not the we know of, not that
- 10:01Speaker 2: we know.
- 10:01Speaker 1: If we don't except in the movie with Harrison Ford.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Don't forget the pod that he took to safely lay on.
- 10:09Speaker 2: No pod on the airplane. Although there are plenty of
- 10:12Speaker 2: security measures on the air force, one which is why
- 10:15Speaker 2: it costs billions of dollars to harden the airplane against
- 10:19Speaker 2: a nuclear blast, and other defensive defensive methods to well
- 10:26Speaker 2: being attacked. And I think one of them is chaff
- 10:30Speaker 2: which they move and fly little bits of aluminum out
- 10:35Speaker 2: the plane that will come from World War Two.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I don't know if it has that.
- 10:38Speaker 2: We do know that it is hardened because if a
- 10:41Speaker 2: nuclear blast happens, the radioactivity where the radiation kills electricity
- 10:48Speaker 2: on the airplane. So it's built there and it's literally
- 10:50Speaker 2: billions of dollars to do that. So he was sneaked
- 10:53Speaker 2: off the airplane very successfully because no one knew it
- 10:58Speaker 2: was happening for security reasons, because of a credible threat.
- 11:02Speaker 1: And that was that's been done before. It was done
- 11:05Speaker 1: with George W.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Bush on a flight to the Mideast, it was done
- 11:09Speaker 2: with Bill Clinton on a flight to Pakistan, and it
- 11:12Speaker 2: has been done when presidents secretly still want to do
- 11:16Speaker 2: what presidents should do and want to do visiting troops,
- 11:19Speaker 2: for example, in the theaters, in military theaters, war theaters,
- 11:25Speaker 2: and they have to hide the fact. So that's part
- 11:28Speaker 2: of Secret Service. So what he said was part of
- 11:32Speaker 2: the ruse. That was it. It was legitimate. There was
- 11:37Speaker 2: a real threat, according to the Secret Service, and he
- 11:40Speaker 2: did exactly what he did. Now let's do the visual.
- 11:44Speaker 2: He is crammed inside one of those food containers. I guess,
- 11:51Speaker 2: sitting next to the well. He would be with the
- 11:55Speaker 2: first class meals because he wouldn't deign to be with
- 11:58Speaker 2: the economy meals in the container.
- 12:01Speaker 3: About the code name, you think it was code Nate
- 12:03Speaker 3: orange chick, orange chicken.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. We're chicken on the move, I know.
- 12:08Speaker 2: And everybody was fooled and they did it. They did
- 12:10Speaker 2: it the way they should have done any and he
- 12:12Speaker 2: was part of it. Of course, he cooperated, and it
- 12:15Speaker 2: was a good thing. It's the president getting nailed for
- 12:18Speaker 2: something he shouldn't have gotten nailed for. But there was
- 12:21Speaker 2: no choice because they had to come up with some
- 12:25Speaker 2: crazy ass reason for him to have to fly the
- 12:27Speaker 2: old Air Force one, and they did. We're taking the
- 12:30Speaker 2: new Air Force one and we're moving to England. So
- 12:32Speaker 2: our servicemen can tore it and talk about what a
- 12:35Speaker 2: great airplane it was. You go, come on, is that
- 12:38Speaker 2: that stupid? Well, they had to come up with something,
- 12:41Speaker 2: and they did. Okay, here's a question, and that is
- 12:46Speaker 2: the Democrats are looking at winning the mid terms and
- 12:50Speaker 2: winning twenty twenty eight based on let's fight Donald Trump. Okay,
- 12:56Speaker 2: that's one. That's a big problem. The other problem is
- 13:00Speaker 2: how about them Democratic socialists.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Well, you put the two together, and it doesn't help.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Recent polls show fifty three percent of the American public
- 13:10Speaker 2: view the Democratic Party unfavorably. The Democratic Party should be
- 13:14Speaker 2: on top of the heap right now based on how
- 13:17Speaker 2: unhappy people are with America and the Republican Party. Nope,
- 13:21Speaker 2: just as as unhappy with the Democrats. And why is
- 13:25Speaker 2: that one of the reasons leadership in Congress It's old,
- 13:29Speaker 2: I mean old, uninspiring, and that may explain why twenty
- 13:35Speaker 2: four percent of the public approve the way Congressional Democrats
- 13:39Speaker 2: are handling their job. That's miserable. So you go to
- 13:42Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. Among most people likely to vote in
- 13:46Speaker 2: the primaries, the Democratic primaries, there is a pronounced age
- 13:51Speaker 2: split voters under thirty. Are you ready for this favor
- 13:56Speaker 2: Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortes. Can you imagine her being the
- 14:02Speaker 2: President of the United States?
- 14:04Speaker 1: Man, what the hell is going on?
- 14:09Speaker 2: Where California Governor Gavin Newsom leads among Democrats.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Over sixty five? Boy, is there a split?
- 14:18Speaker 2: Even Trump's declining popularity, I mean, it is falling like
- 14:22Speaker 2: a rock has not given Democrats a boost. And the
- 14:27Speaker 2: only ray of hope, the only thing that's going up
- 14:31Speaker 2: for the Democrats is the enthusiasm generated by people who
- 14:38Speaker 2: call themselves Democratic socialists about a third of those who
- 14:43Speaker 2: identify as Democrats. Now that gets kind of interesting because
- 14:50Speaker 2: the voters hate the Democrats.
- 14:52Speaker 1: The Democrats hate the Democrats.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Republicans are not pleased with Republicans either, the Republican Party,
- 15:00Speaker 2: and it is a mess going on. And so for
- 15:04Speaker 2: the most part, most Americans hate Trump. Most Americans hate
- 15:07Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. Most Americans hate We're talking about within
- 15:11Speaker 2: the party, not through it with the Republican Party. Matter
- 15:14Speaker 2: of fact, Trump only has MAGA as his base. And so,
- 15:18Speaker 2: what the hell's going on? What's going to happen? The
- 15:21Speaker 2: only group of people that are in an upswing well,
- 15:26Speaker 2: Democratic socialists Mandami for example, wins the mayorship of New
- 15:33Speaker 2: York and he is about as left wing as you get.
- 15:37Speaker 2: The Jews aren't particularly in favor of him either. He's
- 15:40Speaker 2: a Muslim in some very anti Semitic statements are attributed
- 15:45Speaker 2: to him. But basically he's anti Israel, pro Palestinian.
- 15:48Speaker 1: That's a given.
- 15:50Speaker 2: And so he is being called a communist and Democratic
- 15:55Speaker 2: socialists are being called communists.
- 15:57Speaker 1: They're not. Now we have labels being thrown around.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Communism is government ownership of everything, no private ownership. Now,
- 16:09Speaker 2: as Amy pointed up, Mondami wants government ownership of grocery stores.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Amy, that's not true.
- 16:17Speaker 2: What he wants to do is set up five different
- 16:21Speaker 2: stores that are owned by the government, five just five,
- 16:24Speaker 2: one in each borough.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Now is that a slippery slope? Who knows?
- 16:28Speaker 2: By the way, the government already owns businesses, private businesses,
- 16:33Speaker 2: grocery stores. What do you think commissaries are on military basis?
- 16:38Speaker 2: Those are government owned. And by the way, don't argue that,
- 16:41Speaker 2: oh it has to be because there a military basis,
- 16:43Speaker 2: because there are subways in McDonald's pizza places that are
- 16:47Speaker 2: privately owned on military basis.
- 16:50Speaker 3: In socialism, major industries and factories are owned by the
- 16:55Speaker 3: public or the government. The difference with that and Communeianism
- 17:00Speaker 3: is that all property, private property is completely eliminated.
- 17:05Speaker 2: But there that's my point. There's no such thing as
- 17:08Speaker 2: private as private property. It's all owned by the government.
- 17:11Speaker 2: And Mandami doesn't want that. The socialists don't want that.
- 17:14Speaker 2: They want huge regulation that they do big time for Now.
- 17:19Speaker 2: By the way, co ops are owned by the people.
- 17:23Speaker 2: They're not owned privately. Uh, they're not private businesses correctly
- 17:28Speaker 2: the people. Uh, but they're owned by the members. But
- 17:32Speaker 2: is the public the public? They just everybody just has
- 17:35Speaker 2: to be a member. They're not owned. It's not private business,
- 17:38Speaker 2: is my point. Uh, and it is Uh. You know,
- 17:42Speaker 2: you can't throw the word communism out there. You're not
- 17:44Speaker 2: going to see Carl Marx. Uh the you're photos.
- 17:49Speaker 1: You don't start that way. That's the whole Okay.
- 17:51Speaker 2: That okay, So now we're talking slippery slope. Now you're
- 17:55Speaker 2: talking slippery slope. And for example, the gun advocates any
- 18:01Speaker 2: any attempt to regulate guns, any attempt is the slippery slope.
- 18:06Speaker 2: But that's which is why Lotion bill, that's an interpretation
- 18:10Speaker 2: of the constitution. Well, how by the way, the way
- 18:14Speaker 2: the Constitution is.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Interpreted is private business.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Private business is part of America, the thought of the Constitution.
- 18:24Speaker 2: There's nothing in the Constitution that says or is even
- 18:27Speaker 2: interpreted as saying, government must own or government will own businesses.
- 18:33Speaker 2: By the way, mom, dommy is can you imagine what's
- 18:35Speaker 2: he what is he going to do? He is going
- 18:38Speaker 2: to what try to pass the law saying there's no
- 18:40Speaker 2: such thing as privately owned businesses.
- 18:43Speaker 1: He can't do that. He can't do that.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Now he can set up a governmental store. He can
- 18:50Speaker 2: certainly set up well changing utilities which are already owned
- 18:54Speaker 2: by the government. By the way, utilities, for the most part,
- 18:58Speaker 2: there's two kinds. There are government utilities and there are
- 19:01Speaker 2: privately owned utilities. That's government ownership.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Socialism cannot scale and is not the structure of the
- 19:09Speaker 3: United States.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Here. All I'm saying is it's a different You cannot
- 19:13Speaker 2: argue that socialism is in fact communism because it's not,
- 19:19Speaker 2: by the way, social democrats. I don't hear other than
- 19:23Speaker 2: Mandami arguing that the government is in fact own everything.
- 19:29Speaker 1: How about this one?
- 19:30Speaker 2: How many private policing organizations are government owned? How about
- 19:36Speaker 2: internment centers if you want to call them that the
- 19:39Speaker 2: government has for illegal aliens. Privately owned. It happens all
- 19:46Speaker 2: the time. How about Oh, how about this public buildings,
- 19:50Speaker 2: the parking lots, publicly owned. It happens, but it happens simultaneously,
- 19:58Speaker 2: and so it's not going to happen not that way. Now,
- 20:01Speaker 2: is it going to be more government involved?
- 20:04Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 20:04Speaker 2: I can see Mondami setting up, uh, basically a grocery
- 20:08Speaker 2: store that's government owned.
- 20:10Speaker 1: I can see that. But it's not going to stop
- 20:13Speaker 1: privately owned grocery stores. He can never do that.
- 20:16Speaker 2: By the way, I'm not a big fan of social democrats,
- 20:19Speaker 2: don't misunderstand. But at the same time, you know, you
- 20:22Speaker 2: can only go so far. You can only say the
- 20:25Speaker 2: slippery slope and.
- 20:27Speaker 1: The first it's an oxymoron, all right, Anyway, I just
- 20:30Speaker 1: wanted to point that out. Social democrats be prepared for
- 20:33Speaker 1: social democrats, is what I said.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Dummyno, dis corrected me, because it's a moron. You can't
- 20:39Speaker 3: be you can't be democratic and socialistic.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Actually you can, because you can vote if you start
- 20:45Speaker 2: taking away things. Well, how about this, what happens if
- 20:48Speaker 2: the people vote for the kind of socialism that democracy,
- 20:53Speaker 2: But that's not democracy, that's not the bass about communism.
- 20:57Speaker 2: You can only vote for it once. All right, that's
- 21:01Speaker 2: actually not true. You can vote communist governments in and out.
- 21:05Speaker 2: It has happened and will in the future. Okay, we're
- 21:07Speaker 2: done with this. Coming up, well, neurotechnology in planting brain.
- 21:19Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Brain control, mind control, implanting devices in your head. oOoOO,
- 21:29Speaker 2: that almost works, I know, I just try to. Yeah,
- 21:32Speaker 2: science fiction didn't work at all. Okay, there's a story
- 21:35Speaker 2: that you know, I find fascinating. I haven't really thought
- 21:38Speaker 2: about this very much, although big big picture I have.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Brain sensors are advancing, as in implanting sensors in your
- 21:48Speaker 2: brain to gather information and maybe help make decisions if
- 21:54Speaker 2: someone else is controlling it. By the way, no one
- 21:58Speaker 2: business and people aren't per se against implanting brain sensors
- 22:04Speaker 2: because a lot of good can come of it. That's
- 22:07Speaker 2: it can help blind people, see it can help. For example,
- 22:13Speaker 2: you can people that have prosthetic arms because they've lost
- 22:17Speaker 2: their arms and there's no way for the arms to move.
- 22:21Speaker 2: But modern technology allows them just to think that the
- 22:25Speaker 2: arm is moving, and then they've therefore they can move
- 22:30Speaker 2: their fingers around, move the arms around, and we're just
- 22:32Speaker 2: talking about brain sensation, the.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Messages coming from the brains, good things.
- 22:41Speaker 2: No one's really against the ability to do this because
- 22:43Speaker 2: there's too much positive to this. It's the data that's
- 22:48Speaker 2: being gathered and can be gathered. That's what's scaring people.
- 22:53Speaker 2: That's what's scaring workers because what do they do with
- 22:56Speaker 2: the data?
- 22:57Speaker 1: What do you do?
- 22:57Speaker 2: Because certainly brains sensors have the ability to transmit whatever
- 23:04Speaker 2: is not whatever is in your mind, but certainly information
- 23:07Speaker 2: and now comes a big, big issue who gets hold
- 23:11Speaker 2: of that data because it just doesn't stop. I mean,
- 23:17Speaker 2: it isn't just limited to moving limbs around and helping
- 23:20Speaker 2: people see, helping people walk, helping people move wheelchairs, etc.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Where you have absolutely no ability to move any muscles.
- 23:34Speaker 2: You know, it's a good thing. But the scary part
- 23:38Speaker 2: is the data collection. And it can be used to
- 23:41Speaker 2: help PTSD, but it could also be used to analyze
- 23:46Speaker 2: mental health disorders, for example depression PTSD.
- 23:49Speaker 1: That's good, but it could also allow hiring or firing.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Decisions because if your boss gets hold of this information,
- 24:00Speaker 2: that becomes a problem. How about predicting words or images
- 24:05Speaker 2: that form in someone's mind that has that they have
- 24:11Speaker 2: those brain sensors. That technology has the ability to do that,
- 24:14Speaker 2: So it becomes a minority report the movie where basically
- 24:19Speaker 2: the companies though where you're going, what you're thinking? Where
- 24:22Speaker 2: are you going to go looking at the pattern? Now?
- 24:25Speaker 1: Are you going to be a flake?
- 24:27Speaker 2: Are you the person that has a tremendous.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Motivation to work? Currently?
- 24:34Speaker 2: Neuro it's neurotechnology and it's it's being used by the way.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Hitachi has a company brain watering headbands, and it's designed
- 24:44Speaker 2: to keep tabs on people's alertness that are working in
- 24:47Speaker 2: sensitive industries mining, trucking, et cetera. And a lot of
- 24:52Speaker 2: neurotech companies are here in California, including brain implant makers Neurlink,
- 25:01Speaker 2: and it's augmented reality startups. So it doesn't necessarily have
- 25:05Speaker 2: to be implanted. These sensors headbands. I mean, you look
- 25:10Speaker 2: at light detector tests right, or you look at brain scans.
- 25:18Speaker 2: They can read you know how fast things are going
- 25:22Speaker 2: through your brain, what parts of your brain are being used,
- 25:26Speaker 2: and they can read, for example, one part of your
- 25:29Speaker 2: brain is not up to what normal standards are. Therefore
- 25:34Speaker 2: you're going to have a problem with X, Y and
- 25:36Speaker 2: Z memory problems. For example, they can figure that out.
- 25:40Speaker 2: You want to hire someone that has memory problems, Well,
- 25:42Speaker 2: you got the data right there, and they're going to
- 25:44Speaker 2: share the data or maybe not. So science is way ahead.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Of the law.
- 25:48Speaker 2: It always has been, always, and I have personal experience
- 25:53Speaker 2: with that because in my world of reproductive technology, early on,
- 25:58Speaker 2: very early days, the laws didn't even come close to
- 26:01Speaker 2: dealing with it, not even close, and it took years
- 26:07Speaker 2: for the law to catch up with what was going on.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Scientifically, same situation here.
- 26:13Speaker 2: The technology is there, I mean, we're getting very close
- 26:16Speaker 2: to this where the information gathered is absolutely extraordinary. And
- 26:21Speaker 2: what it can do and where does it go? That
- 26:26Speaker 2: is the big issue. And here we go the laws
- 26:29Speaker 2: of privacy. Have they dealt with this?
- 26:32Speaker 1: No? Not really will they? There's no choice? Okay?
- 26:37Speaker 2: Coming up Rich Demurrow and it's a tech segment with Rich,
- 26:42Speaker 2: which we do every Tuesday. This is KFI Am sixty.
- 26:47Speaker 1: You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Catch my show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
- 26:52Speaker 2: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
