  Speaker 1: You're list Saints kf i AM six forty. The bill
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: handles show on demand on the iheartradiop AM sixty bill handle.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Here it is a Monday morning, March twenty third. The
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: big news internationally and this is staving off some super
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: duper problems throughout the world and the economy, is that
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the President is now postponing the strikes on the Iranian
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: power plants, citing productive talks to end the war now
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: midnight tonight. If the strait of horror moves wasn't going
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to be opened by Iran, the president was going to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and I quote, obliterate around power entire power, the power
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: plants and infrastructure and just wipe by its ability to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: produce oil and refine oil and transport oil. And that
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: is the lifeline of Iran as well as the various
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: states around the golf. And so the president has now
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: extended five days because there are now productive talks and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the war now. Iran responded in a fairly long response, Huh,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? There are no productive talks
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: going on. All the President is doing is trying to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: lower energy prices and to buy time for his military plans.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So at this point do we believe Iran or do
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we believe the president? Well, we know when the president
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: said he is going to bomb he is, well if
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: people believe him, because he does. This is a guy
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: who walks the walk and talks the talk. However, the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: bombing of Iranians oil facilities and threatening that if the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: state horr Moves isn't open, because the Iranians have have
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the power and did exercise the power to just shut
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: off the Strait of horrorm Moves, which is what twenty
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: percent of the world's oil goes through the strait, because
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it's not just Iranian oil that goes through the strait,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but also all of the Mid East countries that produce oil.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: They are the oil is put on tankers and then
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: move through the Straight of Horror Moves. And Iran has
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the northern part. I believe the Emirates or Oman has
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the southern part. The whole thing is the it's two
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: miles wide where the tankers go through the strait. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: mean the strait itself is twenty four miles, but the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: tanker lane itself is two miles one mile wide one way,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: one mile wide the other way. And it's very easy
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to shut it down and the President is now. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I think the President is backtracking big
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: time and he has to get out of this mess
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. I think he's over his head.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I think he bit off more than he can chew
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: by preparing to wipe out Iran's oil infrastructure. If the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: straighter her moves wasn't open, Iran is saying, nope, we're
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: going to do it. Trump has threatened to, as I said,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: obliterate Iran's ability to produce and transport oil. Iran has
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: threatened to wipe out the oil production and transportation facilities
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of all of the Midi states, and they are certainly
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: willing to do that. And man, you've got two powers
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that are just We're on the brink of a major
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: economic meltdown where it's going to be a very different
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: world with energy prices going through the roof Gasoline for us,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the prices are going to go crazy. And let's not
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: forget manufacturing and transportation. Oil affects all of that big time.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So at this point, it looks like President Trump has
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: blinked first, and as usual, will never take the blame.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You'll never admit that he blinked. First, we'll never admit. Okay,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: maybe we underestimated Iran. Maybe we have to step back
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and try to figure this out. And the way he
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: does it is, oh, we have productive talks. That's why
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm backing down, because Iran is willing to stop. It's well,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: as far as we're concerned terrorist attacks on oil facilities
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: throughout the Mideast, Iran is willing, is ready and willing
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to back down, and it isn't, and Israel still keeps
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: on pounding Iran and the war continues on. Now Americans
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: have pulled back and the president has to figure out,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Now what do I do. Let's figure out some kind
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of peace plan. So it's gone from obliterating Iranian facilities
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to okay, you guys want to talk productive talks going on? Okay, okay,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: well they're not according to the Iranians. All right, coming up?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Oh another episode in they stole the election. We've been robbed?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Oh no, not again? Oh yes again? And this one
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: is here in southern California. Okay, if I am six
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: forty bill handle here on a Monday morning, March twenty third,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: looking at some of the news, some great news. The
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: president is pulled back on his attack of the Iranian
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: oil facilities. It's infrastructure because of productive talks that are
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: going on between Iran and the United States. Iran denies
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: there's any talks at all, but the attack which would
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: quote obliterate Iran's ability to just pump oil, transport oil,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: refine oil. What was gonna happen tonight at midnight? If
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the strait of horror moves is not open, well, it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: still closed. But the president is pulled back iron says.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You say, he's just trying to gain some time. Okay,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: now we'll start with the next topic. And have you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: heard that the election was rigged? Have you heard that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: phrase before? All right, let me give you a premise
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: right now, when the Democrats win anything in this country,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it is rigged. When the Republicans win, it's a fair election. Effectively,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: we have one party in this country, and that is
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party. Democrats win, it's a fraudulent election. All right,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: new episode. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is running
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: for governor, has picked up has seized more than six
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand ballots from November's election. Last November
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: election on prop fifty, and he says, we have to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: look at whether they were fraudulently counted and the events.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: This investigation is simple, physically count the ballots and compare
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that result with the total votes recorded. Now why would
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he do that, Well, because Prop fifty passed and it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a democratic proposition. Therefore it is fraudulent. Of course it is.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: He's saying, that's not what I'm doing. I just want
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to make sure that the election was proper and fair
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and not fraudulent. Well, here we go again. So why
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: is he saying that, Well, there was a citizen's group
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that brought attention to that problem. Which citizens group, I'm
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: not telling you is just concerned citizens that brought the attention,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: brought me the attention. Well, they know who it is.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It is a group that they're created to make sure
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that elections were fair. Read only in proposition states and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: counties and cities where the Democrats win, that's where elections
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: are not fair. So here we go again. Democrats win,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's fake, Republicans win, it's fair. And that doesn't stop.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Where do you think that came from? Weill? President Trump
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is still totally fixated on the twenty twenty election. Is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: there fraud. Well, here we go six hundred and fifty
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: thousand votes, and the Riverside County election officials say, well,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: according to our counting, is their widespread vote. Well, there
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: could be an issue with one hundred and nine votes
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that are questionable. One hundred and nine out of six
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand. Well, what the shire said, we
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: effectively can't have one vote that is fraudulent. There is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: no acceptable air, small or large in our elections. So
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: we have to assume if two votes out of six
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand are fraudulent, and I guess the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: election should be overturned. I don't even know where he
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was to go with that. He has to count the ballots.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Now we're talking about physically counting six hundred and fifty
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: thousand votes to make sure that the election was not fraudulent.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And we go back to and this is Riverside County,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: so it's right here in southern California. We go back
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to the election of twenty twenty where the attack on
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the presidential election and the attack saying that it was
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: fraud across the board. Sixty three cases were brought in
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: front of federal judges and state judges sixty three. Not
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: one was there proof that the election was fraudulent, widespread fraud?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Was there one? Here? One there? Well, when you have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million votes cast, I think you're
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: going to find some. It's that simple. They found literally
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a few dozen. It was all allegations and this one
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: is all allegations. Now I don't know how the magistrate
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: issued the search and Bonta, our attorney general, says it's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: because what Bianca or yeah, Bianco, what he brought to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the table to get that search warrant? That has to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: be questioned. No, the only thing to be questioned is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the vote, because it's fraudulent, and why is it fraudulent?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Prop fifty seven? Prop fifty passed, And so we're starting
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: all over again, aren't we. It's just and by the way,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: when he runs and he loses, we're talking about Sheriff Bianco.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: If he loses, especially to a Democrat running for governor,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: do you think we're going to hear it was a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: fraudulent vote, the election was rigged. Of course, we are
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: absolutely we're going to hear that. I mean, oh, here
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it is to go to show you how sort of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: he's running, so you figure he's biased. So here is
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: what he said in an endorsement video in twenty twenty
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: four regarding what about the presidential After thirty years of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: putting criminals in jail, it was time to put a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: felon in the White House, Trump twenty twenty four. Baby,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we're starting all over again. Come on, guys, please, are
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: we going to hit every single election now as fraudulent?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: If the Democrats? And it looks that way, doesn't it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It looks that way, all right? Coming up? Mosquitoes, You
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: get bitten by a mosquito, and there's the decent chance
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that you're going to get very sick. Well today it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a little different. You get bitten by a mosquito, you're
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: going to die. Next week, I'll explain that story to you.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: six forty.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty Bill Handle. It is a Monday morning,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: March twenty three. Some of the big stories we are covering,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and that is President Trump has extended his deadline to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: bomb and quote obliterate the oil facilities of Iran because
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: there are productive tops going on. It was supposed to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: happen after midnight tonight. If the straight of horror moves
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: didn't open up. Well, there's a five day extension now
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: because active talks, of which Iran is saying no, there
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: aren't so Iran saying the president is backing down, which
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: is by the way, And what else is going on? Oh?
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: In Air Canada plane collide with a fire truck landing
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: at Laguardi Airport in New York. The pilot and co
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: pilot was killed, and ICE agents are going to deploy
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to airports today to help TSA agents, which if they
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: limit it to that, it will help build a reputation
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of TSA or homeland security and it will also help
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I think, just deal with the backlog. Okay, something is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: going on right now, and that is there is a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: disease carrying mosquito that is now staying active year round
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and is proving very difficult to control. And LA County
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: officials are doing what they've done before, releasing sterilized male mosquitoes,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and it looks like there, it looks like it's working.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: The problem is that costs money. Homeowners are okay with it,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: business owners are not. And I'm going to go into that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: So here's what is happening physically residents. We were supposed
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to get a respite from these mosquitoes, and they're fueling
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a surgeon dengay fever in La County. Who the hell
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: is ding gay fever? Well, it happens typically these invasive mosquitoes,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and they're called the invasive mosquitoes in Latin, very clever name.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: What they are or what they do is disappear from
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: winter until early May. Not anymore. Now it's year round.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, isn't that fun. And so the presence of
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: these mosquitoes, cleverly entitled the invasive mosquitoes, adds to the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: urgency of the work of the district. And this is
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a vector is what they call it, vector control district.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: And we have those and virtually every community does, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it deals with the mosquito and other pests. So when
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you call the county out, they come out and they
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: deal with these pests, and well, they have to be paid,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and that comes on our property bill. If you look
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: at your property tax bill you will see that part
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of it, or not very much. But the Greater Los
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Angeles County Vector Control District, I mean, all the counties
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: have them, and so they want more money right now
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it's eighteen dollars. The Vector Control District wants another twenty
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: dollars on top of that added to your annual tax bill.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And so the district, for the third year in a row,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is releasing the sterilized male mosquitoes and they don't bite.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And what happens is the sterilized male mosquitoes mate with
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the non sterilized female. I mean they stuck. However, mosquitoes
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: do their thing, I don't know, and that seems to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: be the most preferred way, and it seems to be
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the most effective way. These mosquitoes come from Africa, first
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: detected in California twenty thirteen, landed in La County twenty fourteen,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and what the district manager said, despite our best efforts,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: they've been able to just outpace us, and they're now
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: in every city, every community within our district and trying
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to find a solution, of course, hoping that the silver bullet,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: which it can be. The idea is simple. You unleash
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the sterile males so they far outnumber wild ones ten
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to one, even one hundred one, and the goal is
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: for the males to mate with those females that produce eggs.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But they don't hatch. So how do they do it?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: How do they sterilize these mosquitos. Well, at first they
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: were they took them toecialty veterinarians to try to spay them.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Very difficult to spay a mosquito a little tiny, tiny
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: instruments that are very difficult to deal with, and there's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of them. So instead they take big batches
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and they X ray them and that sterilizes them and
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: then they are released pursuant to that plan. And it's
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it makes all the sense. It makes sense. I mean,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it's the only thing that seems to work. You can
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: spray for mosquitos. Do you remember when, And it wasn't
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: too long ago, and I remember this maybe ten years ago.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You'd see these trucks going down the street that would
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: spray on both sides of the street. A it would
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: turn out to be poison. It was anti pest control
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: stuff that would stick a little bit to your skin.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: But it killed them mosquitoes. They killed the bugs. Well,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: they don't do that anymore because it also I think
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: probably killed you or caused cancer or put you know
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: whatever it did. So they don't do that anymore now.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: They simply sterilize all those males, which you know, it's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: not a bad way to if you're gonna get yourself snipped.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Why just to go into an X ray machine? Well,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: because you're gonna get cancer.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: We used to use a service and we're we're just
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: talking last night of getting the service again called Mosquito Squad.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Have you heard of them. They're in Orange County, LA.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I think they're all individually operated and owned and all that.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: But they come out and it worked for us very
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: very well.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can get any pest control company that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: will do the same thing. But okay, if.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: This was very specific, it wasn't, you know, because we
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: have pest control.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not universal pest control unless you bring
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: out press control for your home. Because you're outside, you're shopping.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: These mosquitoes are flying around and they can literally reproduce
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: or produce in water in a bottle cap. Not there are,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: but not that there.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Are body No, Absolutely, the people think it's big bodies
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of water.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: It's not. No, I need exactly. And so so the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: bottom line, if you get bit by one of these,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you're going to die. Coming up another you're gonna die story.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Oh this is really great stuff today. And this is
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: very exciting about when you go to the hospital's hospital
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: you're not getting out. I want, I just want to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: make you feel really good this morning. Yeh fie, I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: am a six forty bill handle here Monday morning, March
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: twenty third. All right, going to the hospital. There's no
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: fun now because well there aren't enough nurses, there aren't
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: enough people, and it's going to get worse by the day.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Over the past year, hospitals have had thousands of layoffs,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: some hospitals pushed into serious financial straits because of billions
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of dollars in federal and state funding that is no
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: longer there, and hospital executives are expecting a second wave
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of layoffs because the federal government continues to close funding
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: for healthcare programs in phases over the next several years.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: And the cuts have squeezed patient rolls of undocumented immigrants
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and restricted healthcare services for the poor. So if you're
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: rich and you could afford insurance, oh that's the other thing.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: How many people can afford insurance with insurance costs today?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you? And it's all according to the executives of
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: these hospitals say the catalyst is the passage of the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: One Big Beautiful Act sign into law last summer, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: hospital executives at this point are taking a wait and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: see to pass judgments on the cuts, because well, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: don't want to offend the administration. Now you offend the President,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and the DOJ is looking at you, the FBI is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: looking at you. I mean, that's just simply the way
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it works. And the largest funding reduction is going to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: be nearly a trillion dollars for Medicaid over the next decade.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And that's the largest reduction in the entire sixty year
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: history of Medicaid and medical which is our version, California's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: version of a medicaid program. What it does is provide
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: free or low cost coverage to low income resident It
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: is not only tough to be poor in the United States,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: especially in southern California, because the cost of living here
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: is so insanely high. It is not only tough to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: be poor, it's going to be way tougher to be poor.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: So I think the only we have a couple of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: choices here, and that is we continue on with social
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: programs not being important to an administration or if a
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Democrat is involved, social programs are very important. The other
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: way that I think would work is to simply make
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: poverty illegal, where laws are passed, particularly in the state,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: that you can't be poor. That works. Then there are
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: no poor people because if they are poor, they violate
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the law. See how that works. The numbers of layoffs
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: have been relatively small as of right now. I mean,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: just you know, for example, a city of Hope has
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand people and announced two hundred layoffs. No, nothing
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: except that number is going to grow and grow and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: grow the impact of these cuts hasn't really hit us yet.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Hospital executives say that what's going on is hospitals are
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: pre planning for these spending cuts. And what does that mean.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: That means elective surgery is going to be postponed. That means,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: if you can possibly believe it, the weights in the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: waiting rooms are going to be even longer. You might
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: as well bring a tent. Some hospitals are saying, we
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: won't have the money to sterilize instruments, so they're going
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to be operating with scalpels that have not been cleaned
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: with crusty blood on them from the previous surgery. Okay,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: maybe not that far. Okay, got it, I'm exaggerating. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: don't exaggerate. I do this to make a point. Do
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you understand the hyperbolic part of this program is to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: make a point. And that crusty blood. Actually they wipe
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: off the crust part before they do the surgery. Okay,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: we're done, coming up the heat way another You're gonna
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: die story. What a day to day huh this March
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: heat wave that we'll have that we're having experts, climatologists,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: climate experts are saying, oh, we should be worried because
• 24:10
