  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Bill Handle Here it is a
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, January fourteenth. Some of the stories we are
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: looking at in the world of Donald Trump and the administration.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: A hearing expected today in a lawsuit filed by Minnesota
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and the Twin Cities challenging the administration's immigration enforcement operation,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: saying it's a federal invasion bill.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And Hillary Clinton refused to testify on Capitol Hill.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And this is the House Oversights Committee in the Jeffrey
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Epstein probe, and Bill Clinton said, you're dreaming.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And so they're talking.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson is talking about a contempt of Congress where
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: they're going to throw Bill Clinton in jail. Give me
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a break. And then I love this one. There's a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: new bill introduced giving California has more power to challenge
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: federal officers in state court. Senate Bill seven forty seven,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: titled the No Kings Act. Have you noticed the names
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: of bills that are introduced have changed a little bit?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: The big beautiful bill, the No Kings Act. Today, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: think Democrats are introducing the No Dicks Act Act.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It's just we've reached another level, haven't we.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, there is a clash going on between the City
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of Los Angeles and the State of California, and it
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: has to do with zone zero wildfire regulations.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: What is zone zero.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's an area that's five feet around the house in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: terms of vegetation, in terms of combustible wooden products, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: teak chairs, that sort of thing. And LA is moving
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: towards a more lenient approach, which is kind of surprising.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And this is in light of studies that are done
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that homes that were of cleared vegetation were more likely
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to survive wildfires. Now, once the state passes its law,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of course the city those laws disappear.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But the state isn't doing much.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: You know, it had a self imposed deadline of January first,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three to create new laws. Well here we
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: go three years later, not nothing yet. So marathon discussions
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: go on about these rules. What do residents do in
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: these hazard zones? What do they have to do from
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the first five feet zone zero to make them ember resistant.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: The city council says, We're going to do our own virsion.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a far more lenient. If you ever,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: listen to Dean Sharp, and Dean talks about fire resistant homes,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to make your house a little bit more fire resistant,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And I paid attention to that. And that is the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: louvers where you know, up in your in the attic,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you know, where you keep paintings and some of your
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: more priceless objects. No, I'm sorry, that's that's the loof.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I got it, but spelled the same way I might add.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And so those stop the embers from flying in, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: embers half these hot embers actually cause a huge percentage
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of fires. Now, if you're talking about fire that goes
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: right up to the house, even radiant heat, the house
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: is going to explode in flames. Now, Critics of Zone zero,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: this five foot zone, are worried about the financial burden,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the labor required to comply the impact to urban ecosystems.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And while fire safety advoc could say, come on, guys,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: give me a break. If you're gonna prevent homes from
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: exploding in flames or basically catching on fire, you gotta
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: do everything you can. And a big one is the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: vegetation around the home. And you my, the Persian palace
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: had eucalyptus, still does eucalyptus trees right next to the house.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Eucalyptus trees when a fire comes down the pike, are
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: basically tiki torches. It is incredible how quickly and how
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: powerfully they explode into flames.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: So here I am in my new house.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It's all cacti, cactuses, cactusennas, and I don't have much
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that's around my house. And of course I did do
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the loovers around the house, so I'm trying as hard
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: as I can. There is there was a an overhang
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that was made out of wood. I replaced it, so
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I actually pay attention. Of course, my house is going
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to explode when the next fire comes. And so this
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: zone zero, now here's what LA is doing. First of all,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: San Diego and Berkeley they have regulations that match the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: strictest options that the State Board of Forestry is considering.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: LA not so much so. The zone zero regulations at
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: this point apply only to rural areas where the Department
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: of Forestry and Fire Protection response to fires, and urban
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: areas city areas that have a very high fire hazard.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: This according to cal Fire, and that includes Silver Lake,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Echo Park, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, No surprise there. So the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: requirement that we are looking at the state and that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: is there'll be no wooden or combustible fences out built
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: things within the first five feet of a home at all,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and also required removing dead vegetation, twigs, leaves from the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: ground around the house, roof gutters, and roofs themselves. You know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: it used to be that we had here. They were
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: shake roofs, wooden roofs.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Man, did they burn up?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Nothing like having a wooden roof When a fire comes down.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: You want to start with the kindling on yah house. Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And you know what they did.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: They passed a law about forty years ago saying that
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: all wood shingles have to be replaced either by tile,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: asphalt concrete roofs. You know they have concrete that looks
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: like tiles. That's what I have at home. And it
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: took a long time because you can't force people to
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: replace their roofs. Roof flash roof. Yeah, a roof last
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: about thirty years, so when you replace, you have to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: do it. Do you have a wooden roof at home? No,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: but I did growing up. We have a composite I know, Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: of course you do. That's the law, you have to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: do it now. But that's just one of the regulations.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: So the zone zero and here's the last stat I'm
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: going to give you. A recent study looked at the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: five major wildfires in California in the last decade, not
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: including the Eaton Palisades fire. Twenty percent of the homes
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: with significant significant vegetation in zone zero survive only twenty percent.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: The ones that complied with zone zero regulations were about
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: twice as much in terms of survivability.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That tells you something. Zone zero.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: It's like patient zero, right, you walk into a zone
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: zero and you get HIV. That's not true at all
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: all right Now, cardboard, actually I think does get recycled.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Plastic does not. It is a myth, It is a dream.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: New report just came out by the state's waste agency
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: shows that plastic yogurt containers, shampoo bottles, restaurant takeout trays
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: being recycled in the single digits. How about polyprolene polypropylene
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: gets recycled. Now, the good news is colored shampoo bottles
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and detergent bottles, they're all the way up to five percent.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Plastic bags, they just don't. It's a waste of time.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: They should just say, just put cardboard in there and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: then give you little small plastic trash cans because the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: rest of it is just a waste of time. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: we're you know, the problem is is that our society,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the amount of garbage that we generate, I mean, Neil
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and I have talked about to the food that we
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: throw away could feed half the world. But in terms
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: of the plastic recyclables. So let me give you a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: little bit of history. And I've done this before. It's
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: my lunch box story that I have not done in years.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And this was before goes back aways. When I was
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: in grade school, This was before plastic bags were even around.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Zip block didn't exist, None of those bags even happened.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And so when I went to school, and my dad
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: is the one who packed my lunch, well, the other
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: kids had sandwiches with a crust cut out white bread
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and covered in wax paper, not plastic. And my dad,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: we were just recent immigrants from Brazil and easy Eastern European,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: so my father had a whole different view of life.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And he was a union electrician, so he would take
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: his lunch in the workmen's lunch you know, the ones
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: were made of metal and they have that arch that
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: curve part of the top and you would put a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: thermos bottle in there on the top.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And that's what I used to take to school.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Everybody else had Batman, Superman, Davy Crockett lunch boxes. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: had the workman's lunchbox. So the kids had, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: they were there sandwiches and they do used to exchange sandwiches.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what my dad did for me.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: This is the lunch back box story. Uh.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: My dad would pack my lunch with The sandwich was
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: two pieces of rye bread with one piece of bologney
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: between the two, because boloney was the cheapest meat you
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: could get, and it was summer May June hotter than hell.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I would open up my lunch box and there was
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the bologney that had stuck to the side of the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: punch box and I peeled it off, put it between
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: the two pieces of dry rye bread and then I
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: would eat it. And no one, I mean no one
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: would exchange sandwiches with me. Let me tell you, sixty
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: years later, I'm still in therapy over just that issue.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Bullies would give you their milk money.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, Yeah, it was very very rough.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But the point I'm making it was sandwiches were wrapped
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: in wax paper, which I don't think can be recycled today,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: can it? But knowing who the hell uses wax paper?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And Neil, you the wax paper is used in cooking,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: isn't it for? And you're doing something these.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Wax paper and many different things, candy making, all kinds
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: of stuff. Okay, I will tell you My belief is
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: until we have home units to recycle certain things for
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: daily use, it won't be recycled.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: And I use a lot.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Of different plastics and three D printing and manufacturing at
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: my home shop, and you have to learn to recycle
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: them yourselves because no one else is going to do it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: There's just no money in it, so you have to
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: do it yourself to save money is the best way
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: to do it. Well, I think we'll have little recycling
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: centers at our own home.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: We're a long way away. You know the Pacific garbage
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: dump if you will. It's a size of Texas and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: it floats out there in the Pacific and it's all
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: garbage and it swirls around. And if you look at
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: landfill's plastic does not decompose and now the supermarkets now
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: if first of all, no plastic bags anymore in California.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: It's all paper bags which can be recycled. And have
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you gone shopping for produce with those bags? They now
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: have a composable or compostable bags that are so flimsy,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: are so disgusting. The other day, I went and bought
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: some oranges. As I dropped the oranges into the bag,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: the orange, the bag basically became a funnel and so
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: in goes the orange, Out goes the orange at the
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: bottom of the bag. And I'm going, great, that's what
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I want. You know, that's just terrific. All right, We're done. Hey,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: we're all putting together. The Morning Crew put together a
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: GoFundMe page for Kno's car exploded, the engine exploding. He
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: drives seventy two miles each way to get to the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: station and his car went completely put and so we
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: put together this go fund campaign to help him buy
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: a car. And so it's well, I know he works
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: here at iHeart. What does that mean a huge amount
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: of money? Right, and he has to get a new
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: car and we're helping him. This is just us on
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the Morning Crew. It is not KFI. It is not iHeart.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: We're doing it ourselves, and so the only way to
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: do it, because we don't want other people using our
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: name or Kno's name. Go to kf I A M
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: six forty dot com slash KNO k O n k

• 14:22
  Speaker 1: We can help hopefully.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Cono, get a car, Gonna buy a good piece
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: of it. Okay, Uh, yeah, Cono, you can suck up.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You sick a fantic son of a guy.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And oh Bill, thank you, thank you so much, exactly
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: what I know, thank you, Yes, yes, okay. Ice free zones.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Now, there is a little bit of issue in Chicago, Portland,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: LA with ice agents.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: As you know.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Uh, they're pretty aggressive about hiring people, about picking up people,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and uh they're hiring tons more that government is. And uh,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the bottom line is a lot of people are being
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: arrested and harassed and a lot of people are frightened.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Christin Ohm, who is our head of homeland security, keeps
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: on saying that all those arrests are only the worst
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of the worst.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look at the video, give me a break. The
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: worst of the worst.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: So what's happening is you have cities and in this case,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: La County voted unanimously yesterday to bar immigration enforcement from
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: county owned spaces. Lindsay Horvath, Supervisor District three, announced this
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: motion to establish these enforcement free zones. And since June six, Man,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the ICE agents really came down.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, they descended on our region.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: They were rating businesses, they were detaining people by the dozen,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: going to the home depots, the low's and picking up
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: these guys who Hispanic, glad you know. And now a
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: lot of them were illegal, There's no question about it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: But you know, the level of this.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I think most of us are in favor of immigration
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: reform and some control of our border. Very few people
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: say our border should be open, open, arms come on down.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Very few of us say that. But the level at
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: which the administration is handling this, there isn't a lot
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: of humanity involved in this. The administration thinks all of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: these people are criminals. And this came to a head
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of days ago last week actually in the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: fatal shooting and Minnesota of Rene Good. And how could
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you have missed the video if you watch the news
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: at all or pay attention to what's going on. She
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: was in a car, in a suv and was stopped
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: by Ice agents and she was pulling away, so the
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: video seems to show, and she was shot by the
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: ICE agent. And there's a little bit of controversy. Was
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: she actually going for the Ice agent, which the administration
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: is saying and he shot her in self defense. Was
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: she moving away from the Ice agent after one of
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: them tried to grab the handle of the door of
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the car. We really don't know, now, you know one
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: of the things, and you think they were trained to do.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: If a car is rolling towards you, don't you just
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: move out of the way.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: The car was not moving very fast, wouldn't you just
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: move out of the way. I mean it was the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: car glanced off this guy and was moving away as
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: far as folks who are on one side of the coin. Now,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the administration is saying, oh no, the car was going
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: straight for this agent who then turned around and shot
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: her a bunch of times through the windshield. To the uh,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it's gotten, it's it's in an uproar.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: You get to ignore law enforcement giving you a direct command.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: H I think you know what I do? Did did
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the law enforcement. Did they say you got to get
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: out of the car? I don't know what they said, Yes,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: so you've got to leave, and yeah you okay, I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I think you can't ignore. I certainly wouldn't. But at
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the same time, if you're pulling away, if she was
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: pulling away and not aiming for the ice agent again,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: just moving out of the way, and you chase them.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine a LAPD officer doing that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: And I also can't imagine LAPD or sheriffs or any
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: other agency saying she was a domestic terrorist, she was
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: part of professional agitation?
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Is you know what's interesting about that whole thing to
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: begin with, is you have Tim Waltz actually putting in
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: a law saying in his state that you can shoot
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: someone a law enforcement can shoot someone in a car
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: that's coming towards them, even if they have a distance
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: between them and the car, and you.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Can move out of the way. Yes, okay. I find
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: that he's kind of insane.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Walt signed that police Reform bill which said that officers
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: don't need to wait until impact from a vehicle.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: They can shoot.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, but if there's a distance to move
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: out of the way, there's a huge distance there needs
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: to be hit.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So they can be forty feet away. Listen to this.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: They can be.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Forty feet away all the time in the world to move,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: but they.

  Speaker 4: Can shoot shooting a moving vehicle if it's being used
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: as a deadly weapon.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's say that's you can how far hit them?

  Speaker 2: Fifty feet, one hundred feet, I don't know if you're
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: a marketable hundred feet okay.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Where As the bullet, I just love how it's a
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: it's a you know, it's a deadly weapon when it's
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: used by a guy in a U haul, and then
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden when.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: It's used towards law enforcement.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, but you see the guy in the
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: U haul was aiming for he was plowing into a group.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: The argument with this this woman Good, Nicole Good, is
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: she was pulling away from the officer that is going.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: To be the orders for her to leave the car.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: It's not arguing that, so I'm not arguing that.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is this, assuming that she even
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: ignored a lawful order to get out of the car. Uh,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the circumstances beyond that, for example, high speed chases are
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: no longer allowed because they're just too dangerous.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: There is uh So.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: The siren goes on behind and the cock goes moving
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: over and move over.

• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you and I will yell at this. Uh Now, the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Kennedy Center, as you know, is no longer the Kennedy Center.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: It is Donald J. Trump Kennedy Center.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump fired everybody the entire board, named himself the
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: chair and renamed the building. And he said it was
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: falling apart, and it may very well have been. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: have no idea, but you know his name is on there.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: The Institute for Peace is now the Donald Trump Institute
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: for Peace. There's a new class of warship, which is
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the Trump Class of Warship. The Trump Gold Card is there.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Don't forget Trump accounts, Trump r X. There's a proposed
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: coin coin, semi Quincentennial Coin, and that's celebrating two hundred
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: fifty years of America.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Why not the America. By the way, Trump his picture America.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: The beautiful National Parks Pass has Trump's picture on it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, this goes on and on, but let me
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: point something out, and that is there are a lot
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: of buildings named after presidents and items and documents.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at all of our currency.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Has a picture of dead presidents on there, and we
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: even have a state or a city.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: There's a Washington, d c.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: And there's a state of Washington named after George Washington.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: After he died. Because that seems to.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Be the way it has gone in the United States.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: So there's a list here of what was named after
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: presidents and how long it was between the presidencies and
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: naming buildings. Right now, there's going to be a mad rush.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Wait till the last week of Trump's ten year as president.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: How many in addition to the pardons that are going
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: to go across the board like crazy. All presidents do that,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: by the way, But how many buildings and items are
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: going to be named? Okay, so the years between presidents
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and naming buildings. The Truman Building forty seven years, Carter Hall,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the Naval Academy Jimmy Carter was a member of he
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: went to Annapolis. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building thirty eight
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: years afterwards, the Johnson Education Building thirty eight years after
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: the presidency, the Bush Courthouse nineteen years afterwards, the Ford
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: House Office Building, thirteen years now. The quickest one, the
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: quickest naming of various buildings or locations was after John F.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Kennedy when he was assassinated. The Kennedy Federal Building less
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: than a year, Kennedy Space Center less than a year.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Cape Kennedy, which has gone back to Cape Canaveral and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the Kennedy Space Center there. And the reason they went
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: back to Cape Canaveral because it's been known as Cape
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Pernavial for four hundred years and they thought, Okay, we'll keep.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: The old name. Why not?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Now, how many presidents have things named after him after
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: them during their tenure zero?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: And so what we should do is have.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: A football pool, right, we should put money into the pool,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: all of us here, and then we guess what is
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: going to be named next after the president. Look what's
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: happening in the White House, the West wing, the East
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: wing destroyed, rebuilt, and the residence in the east wing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine what the residence is for him and Milania?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: You ever seen pictures of Trump Tower and his two floors?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: A little baroke, don't you think?
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: How about the Oval Office right now?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: A little bit baroke? Don't you think? Guild Gold gilt,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: gold gilt, everything. I mean this, you know, why not?
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: You know, all things named for Trump? And this is
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: just the start. We're gonna see a lot of Trump
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: stuff going on, and believe me. And then the question
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: is will the next president, especially a Democratic president, remove
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the name. I doubt it's gonna stay Donald D. A.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. I don't think
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: it's gonna stay that way. I don't know, I don't know.
