- 0:01Speaker 2: I am six forty the bill Handles show on demand
- 0:05Speaker 2: on the iheartradioff I AM six forty bill Handle here
- 0:11Speaker 2: on a Thursday morning, November thirteenth. Some of the stories,
- 0:16Speaker 2: a few of the stories were covering it's going to
- 0:18Speaker 2: be a weather story over the next few days, because
- 0:20Speaker 2: it looks like the rain is coming in tonight and
- 0:22Speaker 2: it's going to be a big one, that atmospheric river,
- 0:25Speaker 2: which no one understands what that is. And then the
- 0:28Speaker 2: other big story, this is the government reopening. We know
- 0:33Speaker 2: it's a matter of time, but it went forty three
- 0:36Speaker 2: days of a government shut down. And the government shutdown
- 0:40Speaker 2: is not just shut down. You can't do business. One
- 0:43Speaker 2: of the things about the United States budget is Congress
- 0:47Speaker 2: has to vote itself a budget where it cannot do
- 0:53Speaker 2: business unless it accepts the budget. It's like if you
- 0:55Speaker 2: have a business and you need a budget by the
- 0:58Speaker 2: end of the year, you can't go beyond unless you've
- 1:02Speaker 2: accepted the budget. For example, California, you have to have
- 1:05Speaker 2: a balanced budget otherwise everything stops.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Well.
- 1:09Speaker 2: The United States has much the same thing where the
- 1:12Speaker 2: US government Congress says okay, and the president they sign off.
- 1:15Speaker 2: We now have a budget, but it's very weird. Doesn't
- 1:17Speaker 2: stop the government completely. There are certain parts of the
- 1:21Speaker 2: government that are exempt the policing power. For example, you've
- 1:26Speaker 2: got the Secret Service, and you have Congress stays in
- 1:31Speaker 2: session and everybody gets paid, so it's certain parts of
- 1:35Speaker 2: the government don't get paid. This really shuts down air
- 1:39Speaker 2: traffic controller controllers, for example. And there's two kinds of
- 1:44Speaker 2: there are two types of employees with the government, those
- 1:48Speaker 2: that just don't get paid period and those that have
- 1:51Speaker 2: to go back to work and don't get paid air
- 1:53Speaker 2: traffic controllers. So we now have a budget in place,
- 1:58Speaker 2: everything goes back to normal theoretically. The politics of this
- 2:03Speaker 2: have been incredible, incredible. I've never seen anything like this.
- 2:07Speaker 2: The accusations are amazing. Republicans blaming Democrats, the Democrats blaming Republicans.
- 2:12Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, each side calls the shut down,
- 2:16Speaker 2: the Democratics shut down, or the Republicans shut down. Now
- 2:21Speaker 2: as of right now, it looks like the Republicans are
- 2:24Speaker 2: getting more blamed than the Democrats. No matter what Carol
- 2:28Speaker 2: Levitt is saying, no matter what the President is saying,
- 2:30Speaker 2: the Democrats did this. The Democrats did this to an
- 2:33Speaker 2: extent they did, because what President Trump and the Republicans
- 2:38Speaker 2: wanted is a continuing revolution resolution. Let's just say everything
- 2:41Speaker 2: the same while we figure out your issues. The problem
- 2:45Speaker 2: is that the issue at hand is the continuation of
- 2:50Speaker 2: the ACA subsidies, the Obamacare subsidies. The continuation they they
- 2:56Speaker 2: end at the end of the year. They were put
- 2:59Speaker 2: in place ten porarily because of COVID by Joe Biden
- 3:03Speaker 2: and the Republicans saying it's over. Democrats are saying, hey,
- 3:06Speaker 2: do you know how many people are going to lose
- 3:08Speaker 2: their medical insurance or they're going to be priced out
- 3:12Speaker 2: of their medical insurance by the tens of millions. And
- 3:17Speaker 2: therein lies the philosophy the Republicans say, you pass this resolution,
- 3:22Speaker 2: will talk about this crisis in medical care, particularly insurance.
- 3:28Speaker 2: What's covered, what's not. Frankly, the Democrats don't believe them.
- 3:33Speaker 2: I don't believe them. I don't believe the Republicans. They
- 3:35Speaker 2: haven't committed anything. They've committed to talking about it. This
- 3:40Speaker 2: is an administration that does not like social services. It's
- 3:45Speaker 2: that simple. That's a philosophy I mean. And by the way,
- 3:49Speaker 2: that's not a value judgment I'm making. I'm telling you factually,
- 3:53Speaker 2: because when you have a democratic administration, they love social services.
- 3:58Speaker 2: You know, when you look at every one of these
- 4:00Speaker 2: Democrats that are in power, every one of them share
- 4:05Speaker 2: exactly the same epitaph. Epitaph their tombstones will read much
- 4:11Speaker 2: like real Will Rogers, who said I never met a
- 4:13Speaker 2: man I didn't like on his tombstone, theirs will read
- 4:16Speaker 2: I never met a tax I didn't like. So we
- 4:20Speaker 2: have two ways of of doing government. In the meantime,
- 4:27Speaker 2: the cutting of social programs, energy programs is going balls
- 4:33Speaker 2: to the wall with the Trump administration. How much you
- 4:36Speaker 2: think they're spending on border enforcement. It's unbelievable how much
- 4:41Speaker 2: money is being poured into that. So the Democrats said,
- 4:45Speaker 2: this was the line that couldn't be crossed. We're done now.
- 4:50Speaker 2: We're not going to let the government move on. We're
- 4:52Speaker 2: not going to let this government be funded until we
- 4:55Speaker 2: get some kind of a deal on the extension of
- 4:58Speaker 2: Obama Care subsidies allowing tens of millions of people to
- 5:03Speaker 2: be insured. So one of two things are going to
- 5:05Speaker 2: happen now, and this is where the politics come back in.
- 5:09Speaker 2: The Republicans are absolutely going to win this one. There's
- 5:11Speaker 2: no question about it, because lack of insurance happens at
- 5:14Speaker 2: the beginning of next year. Lack of your groceries are
- 5:18Speaker 2: happening right now, and right now, it's a little bit
- 5:22Speaker 2: more important to feed the family than it is to
- 5:25Speaker 2: worry about medical insurance. Okay, government is in continuing resolution
- 5:30Speaker 2: has been passed only until January thirty one, and then
- 5:34Speaker 2: it starts all over again. The difference is is that
- 5:38Speaker 2: those people will not have medical insurance who have it
- 5:41Speaker 2: now or will not be able to afford the premiums
- 5:46Speaker 2: which are going to double in certain cases. And so
- 5:51Speaker 2: it's going to be a very different animal. It's not
- 5:53Speaker 2: going to be the it's not going to be proactive.
- 5:56Speaker 2: It's going to be happening at this moment. I'm talking
- 6:00Speaker 2: about January thirty one, and so the politics are going
- 6:05Speaker 2: to go I think the other way. The Republicans are
- 6:08Speaker 2: going to be blamed for the lack of subsidies, There's
- 6:12Speaker 2: no question about it, and they should because that's their position.
- 6:17Speaker 2: And you've got a whole lot of millions of Americans
- 6:20Speaker 2: who are not going to be very thrilled with a
- 6:22Speaker 2: lack of insurance or is so expensive they have been
- 6:26Speaker 2: priced out, so as of right now, government's back and action.
- 6:30Speaker 2: It's gonna take a little bit of time. The snap
- 6:33Speaker 2: payments are going to be back.
- 6:34Speaker 1: That's the other thing.
- 6:35Speaker 2: How much are the Republicans going to get hit? How
- 6:37Speaker 2: much is the Trump administration going to get hit in
- 6:40Speaker 2: terms of approval rating? Stopping trying to stop snap payments,
- 6:46Speaker 2: even partial stamp payments from being made. They went to
- 6:49Speaker 2: court to stop it. Once the lower court said you
- 6:53Speaker 2: have to make those payments. Once that decision is made,
- 6:56Speaker 2: Carolyn Levitt got up on that lectern in the White
- 7:01Speaker 2: House press room and said, we are releasing those payments.
- 7:05Speaker 2: This administration wants to pay those people. But you said
- 7:10Speaker 2: no a week ago, and all you're doing is following
- 7:12Speaker 2: the court order. Well, see, everybody takes advantage of everything
- 7:16Speaker 2: that's happening. You know, you take the blame for nothing,
- 7:20Speaker 2: You take the credit for everything.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Good. Okay, enough of that.
- 7:25Speaker 2: The Epstein files come back and back and back again
- 7:29Speaker 2: to haunt the president. And as everyone knows, Jeffrey Epstein,
- 7:35Speaker 2: complete cockroach is dead. He committed suicide in prison on
- 7:40Speaker 2: his second go round of child molestation charges. His first time,
- 7:43Speaker 2: he was given the sweetheart deal of all time. Did
- 7:46Speaker 2: one year in prison, a federal prison, and it was
- 7:50Speaker 2: no one could believe it. And the other part of
- 7:53Speaker 2: no one can believe it Jelaane Maxwell, who is Epstein's
- 7:57Speaker 2: right hand and his buddy, a pimp, pimped for him,
- 8:01Speaker 2: who was convicted of child molestation, also sex with minors.
- 8:06Speaker 2: We've got twenty years in prison. Strangely got transferred to
- 8:10Speaker 2: a club met actually a club fed where minimum security prison.
- 8:16Speaker 1: What is sick? Sexual offenders like this don't get transferred
- 8:20Speaker 1: to places like this. How did it happen? Well, there's
- 8:22Speaker 1: a whole story there.
- 8:24Speaker 2: But as far as these emails that were just released,
- 8:29Speaker 2: I tell you it doesn't bode well for the president.
- 8:31Speaker 2: And I have said and I think it's panning out,
- 8:33Speaker 2: and I've said this for months, is I don't think
- 8:36Speaker 2: the president is going to be tagged with doing anything
- 8:39Speaker 2: wrong being part of the sexual exploitation.
- 8:43Speaker 1: What I think he's going to.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Be tagged with is having a whole lot closer relationship
- 8:47Speaker 2: to Epstein than he has said. And any close relationship
- 8:52Speaker 2: to Epstein is toxic under any circumstances. And there are
- 8:56Speaker 2: a whole lot of people that are there in that category.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Because Epstein, it was a real player socially, he has
- 9:02Speaker 2: a lot of money, had big parties. Look what happened
- 9:04Speaker 2: to Prince Andrew So anyway, in an email he wrote
- 9:08Speaker 2: to himself on February first, twenty nineteen, This was a
- 9:13Speaker 2: few months before he was arrested on the sex trafficking
- 9:15Speaker 2: charges the second time and was in jail and he
- 9:18Speaker 2: killed himself. This is a quote from that email. Trump
- 9:22Speaker 2: knew of it, referring to the sexual misconduct. And he
- 9:26Speaker 2: came to my house many times during that period. He
- 9:29Speaker 2: never got a massage. And this was part of this
- 9:33Speaker 2: whole tranch of documents. And Trump said he had a
- 9:39Speaker 2: falling out in the mid two thousand with Epstein, and
- 9:43Speaker 2: it doesn't look like it. And Trump in twenty nineteen
- 9:46Speaker 2: said I had no idea referring to Epstein and the
- 9:50Speaker 2: sexual misconduct. I haven't spoken him in many, many years.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Well, it looks like he did.
- 9:57Speaker 2: And on Wednesday, of course, Trump accused the Demo crats
- 10:00Speaker 2: of resurfacing the scandal to distract from the forty three
- 10:05Speaker 2: day government shutdown. The Democrats are using the Jeffrey Epstein
- 10:10Speaker 2: hoax to try to deflect from their massive failures. In particular,
- 10:14Speaker 2: the most recent one, the shutdown. Well, here's the problem.
- 10:18Speaker 2: The shutdown is over and the Republicans won, Yet the
- 10:24Speaker 2: Epstein emails and files continue to haunt the president and
- 10:31Speaker 2: they will. This is why the administration has fought like
- 10:35Speaker 2: crazy to not have the entire file release. Department Justice
- 10:41Speaker 2: is holding on to this stuff. They have all of it,
- 10:44Speaker 2: and the Oversight Committee wants it. In Congress, even Republicans
- 10:49Speaker 2: want it because this is we're talking about raping fourteen
- 10:56Speaker 2: year olds. I mean, this is something Republicans are saying, Okay,
- 11:02Speaker 2: you know what. We have to find out everything about this,
- 11:06Speaker 2: every bit of it. And the Trump administration is fighting
- 11:10Speaker 2: it like crazy. Why not because I think Trump did
- 11:13Speaker 2: anything wrong. I don't, but because of the radioactivity of
- 11:18Speaker 2: being anywhere near Epstein. And then the argument did Trump
- 11:23Speaker 2: actually know of the sexual misconduct? And I don't know
- 11:27Speaker 2: about that. That one's up in the air, but I'm
- 11:31Speaker 2: pretty sure that he never participated, but he was a
- 11:35Speaker 2: lot closer. And of course Mike Johnson is naturally doing
- 11:41Speaker 2: exactly what Trump wanted, and he is doing everything he
- 11:45Speaker 2: could to keep the file secret.
- 11:48Speaker 1: And what he wouldn't do is swear in Grivalja.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Who is the congressman, I think from Arizona who just
- 11:56Speaker 2: got elected, wouldn't swear her in for thirty days. He's
- 12:00Speaker 2: because she is the vote that puts it over the
- 12:02Speaker 2: edge to demand that the Department of Justice turn over
- 12:07Speaker 2: those files. Johnson fight said, But there's a procedure which
- 12:12Speaker 2: you can bypass the speaker and demand it. And that's
- 12:16Speaker 2: exactly what is happening right now. So how toxic is
- 12:20Speaker 2: this going to be? You know, even if it goes
- 12:25Speaker 2: no further than this, I think the President can yell hoax, hoax,
- 12:30Speaker 2: hoax all he wants. You know, some stuff just sticks
- 12:33Speaker 2: no matter what. All right now, what I do want
- 12:38Speaker 2: to get into is what we do with our maritime
- 12:44Speaker 2: fleet the United States. And this is where President Trump
- 12:47Speaker 2: is saying, hey, let's revive us shipping. We don't do
- 12:52Speaker 2: enough of it and we don't. Let me give you
- 12:54Speaker 2: a statistic that kind of floored me, and that is,
- 13:01Speaker 2: in the last ten years, the United States manufactured thirty
- 13:06Speaker 2: eight large commercial vessels US shipyards.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Thirty eight of them.
- 13:11Speaker 2: China over seventy five hundred of these commercial vessels. The
- 13:17Speaker 2: way the law works in the United States is horrific.
- 13:22Speaker 2: The American law says that for international commercial shipping on
- 13:30Speaker 2: American vessels and flying under the American flag, that means
- 13:33Speaker 2: it's register in the US, follows the Coastguards regulation, employs
- 13:37Speaker 2: only American citizens.
- 13:39Speaker 1: That means it's not happening. So what is the answer.
- 13:43Speaker 2: And I think the administration is right on because this
- 13:46Speaker 2: is an area that has been ignored and that is
- 13:53Speaker 2: working as a mariner, building more ships and working as
- 13:57Speaker 2: a mariner right now as an American city, and you
- 14:00Speaker 2: can go and work for well almost any fleet.
- 14:03Speaker 1: In the world.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Mariners earn over one hundred thousand dollars a year six
- 14:07Speaker 2: months of paid leave a year.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Who is not going to do that.
- 14:12Speaker 2: There are seven maritime academies in the US, seven of them,
- 14:16Speaker 2: six state and the US United States Merchant Marine Academy
- 14:22Speaker 2: that's in New York. Now, the federal academy perfectly free
- 14:26Speaker 2: to attend. The other ones, the state ones are they
- 14:29Speaker 2: cost money. And let me give you another stat that's
- 14:34Speaker 2: kind of just mind bending. The number of students graduating
- 14:39Speaker 2: with Coastguard qualifications, okay, which all the academy give last
- 14:47Speaker 2: year was eight hundred and ten. How about that eight
- 14:53Speaker 2: hundred and ten. Now, there is an organization called the
- 14:56Speaker 2: Military Sealift Command. These are a fleet of ships that
- 14:59Speaker 2: supply the US Navy. Those supply ships that you see
- 15:04Speaker 2: with fuel and goods and material are usually civilian ships
- 15:08Speaker 2: crewed by civilians.
- 15:10Speaker 1: They can't find mariners, they can't find people to work.
- 15:16Speaker 2: How about this a first officer two hundred and twenty
- 15:20Speaker 2: thousand dollars along with a seventy one thousand dollars signing bonus,
- 15:25Speaker 2: and you can't get enough of them? Well, first of all,
- 15:27Speaker 2: you got to go to school. Okay, it's one of
- 15:29Speaker 2: these four year degree things. But I don't know how
- 15:32Speaker 2: many jobs out there. Right out of college you go
- 15:35Speaker 2: for what two hundred grand a year? Now, the fleet,
- 15:40Speaker 2: the Military Seelift Command, it took vessels out of regular service.
- 15:44Speaker 2: They didn't have enough civilian employees. They didn't have enough
- 15:47Speaker 2: people to run these ships. I mean, it is kind
- 15:51Speaker 2: of crazy. So why do they have so few? Because
- 15:53Speaker 2: when you look into it, the work is brutal. If
- 15:56Speaker 2: you don't have enough mariners on a ship, which means
- 15:59Speaker 2: the ones that you do have are working twice as
- 16:01Speaker 2: hard and the burnout rate is unbelievable. One of this
- 16:07Speaker 2: is what this was a wall Street Journal New York
- 16:10Speaker 2: Times article, and one of these guys was interviewed, Nathan Weimoth,
- 16:16Speaker 2: a chief engineer on a tramper, which means it went
- 16:18Speaker 2: from place to place, not a specific route that was
- 16:22Speaker 2: hired for. He said he had six months of paid
- 16:25Speaker 2: short leaves, but he works so long when he was
- 16:29Speaker 2: at sea that we actually look at the hours work
- 16:32Speaker 2: there longer than the six months he had off twelve
- 16:36Speaker 2: hours a day, six or seven days a week.
- 16:40Speaker 1: And it's total burnout.
- 16:43Speaker 2: But if you're willing to not see your family for
- 16:47Speaker 2: six months at a time, which is I'd be thrilled
- 16:49Speaker 2: to do that. If you're willing to not be anywhere
- 16:53Speaker 2: near your home and be on a ship. The pay
- 16:57Speaker 2: is pretty high and I'm assuming the benefits are pretty good.
- 17:03Speaker 2: And it's just one of those fields that not enough
- 17:05Speaker 2: people were going to and.
- 17:07Speaker 1: It pays huge money. So what I'm going to do.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Is, occasionally, as unemployment explodes and you're going to see
- 17:15Speaker 2: it die, I believe because of AI etcetera is getting
- 17:18Speaker 2: worse and worse, I'm going to be throwing in these
- 17:21Speaker 2: jobs occasionally. Where it's good money, it's not very well.
- 17:26Speaker 2: These are not very well known and I just love
- 17:29Speaker 2: talking about employment. Okay, okay, there is a something called
- 17:35Speaker 2: college direct admissions. Now you can pre register for college.
- 17:40Speaker 2: They have early admission, but you have to apply direct admissions.
- 17:45Speaker 1: You don't apply. An email goes.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Out from the schools, from the four year colleges to
- 17:53Speaker 2: kids who are kids you know, who are out of
- 17:56Speaker 2: high school, who meet the criteria, and it says you've
- 18:00Speaker 2: been admitted. And the theory is it's going after those
- 18:09Speaker 2: kids who are disenfranchised, are on the lower socioeconomic ladder.
- 18:16Speaker 2: They're lower on the ladder because it's just more difficult
- 18:19Speaker 2: for them. You have to know how to work the system.
- 18:22Speaker 2: An application to college is not an easy thing. I mean,
- 18:26Speaker 2: you have to obviously take the tests, and then you
- 18:29Speaker 2: get to write the essay as to why you want
- 18:31Speaker 2: to go to school and you come up with some
- 18:33Speaker 2: complete lie and what you want to do for the
- 18:36Speaker 2: rest of your life, and then you're in front of
- 18:39Speaker 2: a admissions officer or at least the application.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Is and it's a lot of work.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Well, with these direct admissions, it is not a lot
- 18:49Speaker 2: of work. Now, California has just started it. Six other
- 18:55Speaker 2: states or seven other states have already done this and
- 18:57Speaker 2: it looks like it's fairly successful because the number of
- 19:00Speaker 2: people that are wanted, and that is first generation or
- 19:05Speaker 2: second generation Americans coming from the first people to go
- 19:09Speaker 2: to college in their families. I mean that, you know
- 19:12Speaker 2: the story of people who it's just not easy to
- 19:15Speaker 2: go to college. Well, they're getting more and more of them.
- 19:18Speaker 2: They've almost doubled those figures with a direct admission. So
- 19:21Speaker 2: who is in this case, it was the cal State
- 19:24Speaker 2: system that by law is now involved in direct admissions
- 19:29Speaker 2: after the pilot program. I think it was at cal
- 19:32Speaker 2: State Riverside. I don't even know if there is a
- 19:34Speaker 2: cal State Riverside. It was one of the schools.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Is there a cal State Riverside?
- 19:39Speaker 2: I don't, Okay, I don't even know. Yeah, well, you know,
- 19:42Speaker 2: I understand. But this is not for uc The ucs
- 19:45Speaker 2: are exempt from this. It's not there. Yes, this is
- 19:49Speaker 2: only cal State and it's cal State. San Luisbispo, for example,
- 19:56Speaker 2: is exempt. They're not doing this because frankly, well it's
- 20:01Speaker 2: a high end school. That's what that's about. For example,
- 20:05Speaker 2: it's impossible impossible to get into UCLA, right, you can't
- 20:09Speaker 2: do it, give it up. You want to go to
- 20:11Speaker 2: UC channel islands you can get in. So the cal
- 20:17Speaker 2: State system is saying, and this, I guess is some
- 20:20Speaker 2: kind of a pilot program or full time. I don't
- 20:22Speaker 2: know if it's ever going to go to the UC system.
- 20:25Speaker 2: But the schools are the entire is the entire system
- 20:30Speaker 2: except two schoolers or exempt one of San Luis Obispo.
- 20:33Speaker 2: And strangely enough, cal State Northridge is not involved with
- 20:37Speaker 2: this program because there was a huge move to move
- 20:41Speaker 2: cal State Northridge into the community college system and remove
- 20:45Speaker 2: it from California State University because Northridge gives you such
- 20:50Speaker 2: quality education. Having graduated from cal State Northridge, I can
- 20:54Speaker 2: see why it should be a junior college, right Kono?
- 21:01Speaker 1: Sure? Bill? Yeah? Uh? Amy didn't go off. Also, Amy
- 21:07Speaker 1: didn't go to cal State Northriach. I did not. I
- 21:09Speaker 1: went to Oregon State University. Yeah. I was onto cal
