  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I know there are three that I'm very proud of
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: that I think are legitimate. One is the Marconi, the
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: other one is the Star on the Walk of Fame,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and the other one is Radio Hall of Fame.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Those three are on my desk.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And by the way, if you ever come to my
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: house and I invite you in to look at the awards,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: if you get near them, I'm taking a fork and
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I'm jamming it into your eyeballs.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: No one gets near those awards. Okay, and now handle
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It is a holiday, Wednesday, February eighteenth. Let me start
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: with Kno, you don't have your camera on, so I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: cannot see you. So there you have me to put
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a base ball cap on in a South book. Yeah,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and it's some kind of a hoodie. Yeah. I would
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: like that at all a lot. All right, Cono, good morning,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: good morning. I'd like to see people. One of the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: things about home broadcasting, or at least my home, is
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I have everybody on a screen. I've explained this before,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and so I'm looking at everybody, which is actually far
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: better than when I'm in studio in terms of connecting
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to people. For example, Will Coleschreiber is right there, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I would never see him in studio because he's down
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the hall. And so good morning, Will, good morning. And Amy,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: who is in the news little closet we jokingly call
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: a newsroom, which I don't know how we can say
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that with a straight face. And there's Amy in the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: KFI newsroom. She is the I can see her, but
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the glass is so glary I really can't see her.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So here it gets really easy. And then Anne and
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Neil are in front of me, so it works out well. Also,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: so I don't know how long, Well, let me ask
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you this before we get into Will, how long does
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it take you to get to work? About fifteen minutes?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Fifteen minutes, Cono, how long does it take you to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: get to work? Fifty eight minutes?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Fifty eight that's a long one.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Amy fifteen, fifteen minutes, Neil two two minutes, three minutes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: If I'm you know, kind of scurry, I know, I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: talking about when you go when you go into the studio.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, when I drive into the studio, Yeah, it takes
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: fifteen fifteen eighteen minutes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, and then there is and.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm about to say like eighteen to twenty okay,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you got, you got. They have to put the mute on.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: So here's the way it works with me. I have
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to drive in an hour and a half, so I don't,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I will, you know, a couple times a month,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I'll go up there for a couple of days and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: say hello, hang with everybody, meet with clients, et cetera.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Otherwise, I have a thirty foot commute.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That is my idea of a commute, rolling downstairs, you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: peeing and then hitting the stairs, and sometimes doing him simultaneously,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because I.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Get pretty good stairs when you pee. Sometimes, dude, you're
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: doing it wrong. Yeah, I think I am. And occasionally
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: lately the alarm has gone off. The arm never goes off.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: All right, we're all here. We've got plenty to cover
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: this morning, as we always do. I don't know if
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: you're keeping up with the Olympics.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: We're doing eh, and then eh, you know, I'm not
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: doing so well this time around. Also, the Nancy got
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: three disappearance DNA is being found. None of it was helpful,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and now they're going to the second tier. We'll talk
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: about that a little bit later on. And what else
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: is happening? Oh, of course Jim Keeney happens with us
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: every Wednesday. Jim back from the Olympics. Is he back yet?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Do we know he is back?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And I know he went to a few events. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: think he went to some hockey events and he went
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to figure stating events. Oh. Have you looked at the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: price for opening ceremonies in Los Angeles? Because I was
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: thinking of going to opening ceremonies because that's really what
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: interests me. It is it's beyond tens of thousands of
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: dollars for a seat. I mean, it is crazy. Amy,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you're looking right now on stub Hub.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Or any of the other tickets are available yet.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I know, but they're well, no, people, they're already sold out. Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: they're already sold out. I mean they sold out instantly.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So we'll see that's we look, that's what it was. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I think so, I think so opening ceremonies not yet.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: So there is an LA twenty eight website that you
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: can go to get in a lottery for the opportunity
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: to purchase tickets, and I thought that that wasn't until
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: next month, but I'll check.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, because I if I have a shot at
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: going to opening ceremonies, I'm going to do that. Because
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that is a bucket list thing. There's no no question
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: So if you do, you need you need to go
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: to the You need to go to LA twenty eight,
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: and you need to register to get in a lottery.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: And if your name gets chosen, then you get the
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: opportunity to buy tickets to the events.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Oh and we don't know, and we don't know, I've
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: already done it. That's not how Bill works.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: What he's saying is if anyone's listening, ohntcha give him tickets?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Of course. One second. Yeah, I'm going to get
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that someone. Someone is going to give me tickets. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: got news for you, buddy, It's it's going to be
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: harder for me to get tickets to opening ceremonies than
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it was for you to get a kidney. Okay, I'm
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: far better off asking for a kidney. Are they still
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in me and trade it for tickets? Yes? Right there
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Are they still so five partial?
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's so fine. And it's also at LA
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: memorial COLLI sanp Bill, I can put in a good word,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: you can apply to work.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Would I would do that in a heartbeat. First of all,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I get kicked.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: First of all, I would get kicked out instantly because
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you know how it would treat people. But at the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: same time, I would love to go. That means you're
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: probably going to work opening ceremonies, isn't it. That is exciting? Okay,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: good for you, Good for you. All right, put my
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: name on the no I'm going to put my name
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: on today LA twenty eight. I'm going to do that today.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And then I'm assuming well on the secondary market is
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and I don't know how many tickets are going to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: be bought by the bots. I don't think any of
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: them at this point. I think it's going to be
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a true free for all.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: I think they should ban the bots on this.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think there's a move to do that. You just
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: can't do it because it's that whole We've done stories
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: on that. That's crazy. Okay.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: So the just to answer though, what the actual price
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: of the tickets is going to be is anywhere from
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: three hundred dollars for upper level seats to almost twenty
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: four hundred dollars for the premium seats, but that's if
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: you get them through through LA twenty eight.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I would pay recently, I would pay twenty four hundred
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: dollars in a heartbeat. I know that's pricey, but man,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: how often do you ten know how often how Taylor
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Swift front out row seats or third row you're paying
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: five thousand or eight thousand or twelve thousand dollars? Okay,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: but bucket list opening ceremonies the Olympics, Yeah, you bet.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I would do that in a heartbeat. Okay, let's do it, guys,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: we have some news for you. It's time for handleing
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the news with Amy Neil and me lead story and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: let's do it. Nancy got three update the DNA results.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They did get DNA from those gloves. Nothing, nothing, not
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: into I think codex is the platform the database of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: which criminals anybody's been arrested, as well as of course convicted.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Usually they go to first that no match there, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: now they're going into the secondary genealogical databases of ancestry
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: twenty three and meters and ancestry whatever it is, and.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: So nothing goes on. You know, this reminds me of
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the oj trial.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: If you remember that, as the trial was going forward,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: a juror was kicked off of the jury. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I remember that. And he was asked because once he
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: was done, he was asked, oh no, I would have
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: voted OJ not guilty. And the reporter said, but look
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: at how about all the blood evidence. I am now
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: going to quote the jur And this goes to show
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you how brilliant jurors are. Everybody gots blood. That doesn't
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: prove that it was OJ's blood. Everybody got blood. That
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: is who our zerrors are. Congratulations, the big mazles of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So there you are.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: It's it's easy to cover this just as a story,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: but can you imagine It's one thing that a loved
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: one dies suddenly or a horribly in a murder or something,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: but this family to have you know, your your matriarch
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: absconded with kid and have no don't.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Know, no idea, Which is why when you look at
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the Hamas Israel Israeli war, how big a deal they
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: made on the returning of the bodies for the families
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to have closure. I mean they were prepared to keep
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: on a war because of that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Uh varied this story is no, boy, No. A group
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: of skiers was doing back country skiing around Trucky up
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: near Lake Tahoe, and so they had been out for
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: like three days and they were heading back to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: trailhead yesterday morning when an avalanche happened because they've just
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: been pounded with snow that sent a wave of ice,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: rocks and debris crashing into them. They were able to
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: get six people out and nine are still missing, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: it took hours for the rescue crews to even get
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: to where the where they were because of the weather
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: and that kind of stuff.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, that is a horrific story. But let me
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: ask you something. Knowing what weather was coming in and Amy,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: you've been talking about the weather and the storms and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the fronts that are coming in, who goes backcountry skiing
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: under these weather conditions up in the mountains? I truly
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. But we say that about hikers, yes,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that's true. Things like that. We say that about anybody
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: that doesn't eat frozen burritos and sits on the couch
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: all day. That is very difficult to get hurt doing that. Well,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: sometimes you know, on the way to the freezer, you
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: can stub your toe. But for the most part, no,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: We talked about this yesterday with the LAUSD board. They
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: approved voted to narrowly by the way, to send out
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: thirty two hundred notices a possible layoff. Well, it looks
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: like about six hundred and fifty seven layoffs are what
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: they're looking at.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: This is all dealing with that massive budget that they
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: have that is just out of control. Even though they
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: have a current they began the school year with a
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: five billion dollar reserve that they say they're going to
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: go through that pretty much.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, Neil, I think we have to reset
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: your microphone out because there's golding a lot of Yeah,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: am I the only one that he's hearing it or
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: everybody else we're hearing it to? Okay, all right, so
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: we'll we can't. I think he's working on it. So
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: we're going to be probably for a few minutes without Neil,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: thank goodness.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, Amy, the.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: Head of Instagram taking a stand. Mark Zuckerberg is expected
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: to testify in LA today in that landmark case about
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: whether social media platforms are intentionally trying to addict children
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: so they can increase profits. He is expected to answer
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: questions about it, and about a twenty year old woman
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: who claims her early use of social media got her
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: addicted to the technology, made her depression worse and made
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: her have suicidal thoughts.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: This, I think is going to be a tough one
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: for the prosecution. Of course, Zuckerberg is saying no to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: any of it. And it doesn't look like there's a
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: smoking gun email there, I don't think so. Where you
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: remember the Ford case with the pintos that exploded, there
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: was a smoking gun email. With the Stella case with
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the burnt the coffee that fell on her lap, there
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: was a smoking gun email Big Tobacco, there was a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: smoking gun email where he had an internal email. Yep,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: this is causing cancer. Is this with a jury? I
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: think it is okay. So now the jury has to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: understand the complexity of programming a platform like this and how,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and you can bet you're going to see experts thrown
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: at this thing where the jury just shake their heads,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: because you can confuse a jury, much like back of
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the OJ case when the prosecution put on the DNA
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: evidence that confused everybody. No one had any idea what
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: was what was being said and testified to.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: So We'll see what he.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Does, Zorn Mom, Donnie is not disappointing his supporters. He
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: wants to raise taxes. The mayor of New York City
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: says that he wants wants to get a millionaire's tax passed.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: The problem is the governor of New York doesn't support that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: So he said, as a last resort, if he doesn't
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: get the millionaires tax passed, then he would like to
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: propose raising property taxes in New York City by nearly
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: ten percent.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And the first thing he said during that press conference
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: in Immortal World's World of Words and the Immortal Wars
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: of Karl Marx, we must tax anybody who makes more
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: than six thousand.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Dollars a year.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: And yeah, terrific. By the way, he is certainly bringing
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: in the table what he said.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, he's doing what he said he was going
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: to do, tryingly, and.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He got elected. Much like President Trump, where people bitch
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: and moan, President Trump is bringing exactly to the table
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: what he said during his campaign.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: So, speaking of that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Prices haven't dropped in half.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Moving on, Yeah, so speaking of Trump, who's afraid of
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: the Big bad Trump? Well, maybe maybe a network is
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Stephen Colbert has blasted CBS after the network killed a
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: planned interview with Texas Senate candidate James Tallerico. The network
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: cited concerns that going through with it would raise the
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: ire of the Trump administration. Colbert said, let's just call
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: it what it is. Donald Trump's administration wants to silence
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: all Trump does is watch TV.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have Brendan Carr ahead of the FCC
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: is doing what he can to make sure that there
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: is there is no anti Trump sentiment being broadcast, especially
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: at late night, which is all anti Trump sentiment. So
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: he's bringing in the rule of which is equal time
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: rule for all candidates that are in their particular race. So,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: for example, let's say you have a congress person that
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: is running. How hard is it to have people sign
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: up for the run for Congress? What is it two
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: hundred bucks? Four hundred dollars? And if it's sequel time,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Let's say I interview a candidate and then there are
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: twenty two people that sign up, and by the way,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: there's probably more than that. During a race, I've got
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to interview all twenty two people for the same time. Okay, yeah,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: that's going to screw things up.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Hugh Hefner, who Bill had interviewed years and years and
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: years ago, who's now very dead. His widow has come
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: out this week and said that the foundation that he
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: set up maybe in possession of a couple of things.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: One a diary that's very detailed. Gotcha, Okay, buddy, Relax everybody, Jesus.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: No, because usually I get hit for that, not muting,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: but this one.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: He was on you yet, just me so.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: That he has a diary that has detailed sex and
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: all kinds of stuff, But he also has these books
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: of photos, these books of photos.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: That may have young girls that.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Were compromised with drugs and stuff like that in there,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: and I guess she's trying to get them back or
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: keep them out of the hands of certain people.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: But interesting story. Indeed, Yeah, he was pretty sexual. Obviously
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Playboy was founded based on sex. Yeah, I think so.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I once interviewed Hugh Haffner, went to the Playboy mansion
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: actually to interview him, and he comes down at three
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: o'clock in his silk pajamas and robe. And at that
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: time he was dating someone that was twenty two years
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: old and he was in his seventies and I asked
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: him a year old man with it? I asked him, yeah,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: with a twenty two year old. And I asked him
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: straight out, you know, how does that work? You? You know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: how does someone in their seventies day to twenty two
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: year old and frankly, how do you stup? And he
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: looked it at me and he smiled and he said Viagra.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: That's the magic drug Viagra.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: That's what he said. Disgusting old man with a younger woman.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: With a younger woman. Yeah, fifty years younger, I might add, okay.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: Gross AI for all. Microsoft says it's on track to
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: invest fifty billion dollars by the end of this decade
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: to help bring artificial intelligence to lower income countries. So
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: the comments came at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, India,
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: where leading tech executives, government officials, and AI researchers are
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: debating how to use AI to solve real world problems.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: And they say one of the problems with AI is
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: that the richer company countries will adopt it quicker and
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: that will widen the income and development gaps between rich
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: and poor countries.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, you go and use AI for example in
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: South Sudan, and you come up with fifty different recipes
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to cook sand and it works out very well.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Costco an interesting recall, if you know how sometimes they
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: sell gift cards and things like that for restaurants. Well,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: this is a recall for those very things. There's this
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: company that supplies them called Synergy Restaurants Gift Cards, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: if you purchased one between October twenty seventh, twenty twenty
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: five and January twenty sixth, twenty twenty six, they will
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: do something they've never done before, and that is buy
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: them back from you, so you can't return them normally.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: But they went bankrupt, so the cards are no longer good. Right.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: This is the company that the Synergy Restaurant gift cards,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: and frankly Costco does not have to buy them back,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: but it does anyway. This is Costco coming to the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: table and the company, the third party company, Synergy, is
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: filing for Chapter seven, not Chapter eleven. Chapter seven is
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: out of business, complete liquidation of everything. Yeah, no reorganization,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: no reorganization at all, which is the vast, vast majority
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: of bankruptcy filed by businesses more missiles.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: The US plans to deploy more high tech missile systems
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: to the Philippines to help deter aggression in the South
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: China Sea. Beijing has repeatedly expressed alarm over the installation
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: in the northern Philippines of a US mid range missile
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: system and of an anti ship missile launcher, which was
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: already done last year. It said US weapons were aimed
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: at containing China's rise and warned they were a threat
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: to regional security.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: The president tried to call the President of the Philippines
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: and reached the call center.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Hello, my name is Carl Soon. Can I help you?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Interesting the name of the President of the Philippines. And
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: this is real field. Look it up. Bong Bong Marcos.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: How is that for a name? Smokes a lot of pot.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It sounds like a morning FM show.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Hey, Bong Bong and Jeered.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: All right, bay or ag Now they're the company that
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: for sixty six billions, sixty billion. They're German conglomerate that
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: bought Monsanto, if you remember, well they inherited a string
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: of these lawsuits dealing with Roundup, you know, the weed
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: killer stuff. And this has been going back and forth
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: for for a long time. And now they're preparing to
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: announce a ten point five billion dollars settlement with the
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: hope to push to resolve this current any future cancer
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: lawsuits over round Up. So if this is going on,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: how come you can still get round Up in? Because
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I don't because they haven't pulled it yet. Because this
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: is a settlement. It has not been pulled by the authorities.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: This is simple a civil suit between individuals and companies
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: against bay or age. Now they paid sixty six billion
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: dollars from Nsanto and inherited all of these lawsuits. Sure,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it made any money. I don't
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: know what kind of a financial decision happened here, Whether
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the people that bought Monsanto just bought a pig and
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: a poke, or it still makes money even with having
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: paid this much and round Up still still out there.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know of any When I think
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: of weed killers, I think of I think of round Up,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: don't you. It's the only one I can think of exactly.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: That's the point.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: What happened at the ranch may not stay at the
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: ranch much longer. New Mexico's House of Representatives has decided
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: to put together a bipartisan special committee to investigate the
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: ranch that late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein owned in New Mexico.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: They say they want to look into allegations of criminal
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: activity on the property known as Zoro Ranch. They said
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: for a lot of years there were allegations of sexual
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: assault and abuse at the ranch here in New Mexico,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: and basically said local authorities didn't investigate, the FBI didn't investigate.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: So we're going to Yeah, this has a lot to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: do across the board with the Epstein case. For years,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: the FBI knew about the complaints and did nothing, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: now we're looking at New Mexico. It's I tell you,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Fstein got a pass across the board and I don't
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: understand why.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: And I saw the Olympic news go, I'm sorry.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: And that's been over multiple presidents. Oh yeah, over decades.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: That's nuts.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: It is nuts, friends, a lot of money.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a weird one.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: So the hot arenas at the Milan Courtina Olympics, they
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: had to change them. I guess they had these dark
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: boards or yeah, they were replacing these dark boards in
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: the back of the hockey arenas for light ones. The
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: players were complaining that they couldn't see the puck. There
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: was not enough contrast to.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: See the puck. So the wit who decided that those
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: boards that are around the arena should be the exact
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: same color as a hockey puck. Yeah, that's a little ruah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: That's the problem, isn't it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: But it looked good. Show me the money. Android users
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: could get between one hundred and one hundred and thirty
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: five million dollars as part of two new Google settlements.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: So one of them is that the Android operating system
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: was collecting cellular data without users permission. The other lawsuit,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: filed at the same time, accused Google of enabling its
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: voice activated assistant to spy inappropriately on users, so they're
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: doing the settlement. Google denies wrongdoing, but says we are well,
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: we're pleased to resolve this case.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Of course. Of course, my question is when I first
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: read the story, I'm going between one hundred to one
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five million dollars. I can understand one
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars. Who gets one hundred and thirty five million dollars.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Nobody, the individual people get one hundred dollars.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I'm thinking. So that's kind of an
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: interesting headline. All right, guys, we are done. KFI AM
