  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: am six forty ladies and gentlemen.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Here's Bill Handle.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: All right, good morning everybody. How long was that I
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: was talking to Neil? So how long was the music
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: playing for? I jumped out, Oh, good, so I can
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: ignore that and ask right, yes, okay.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I listen, and then I pointed to you, and I
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: love that.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I love that clip, Conna, because it sounds like Handle's going, hey,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: you kids, get off.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Of my tangent.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty much the way the show works. Okay,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: And here we know we start on June thirtieth, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: today is the last day, right of the month. Yes, yes, okay, great, okay.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: A couple of things are happening. We are awaiting a
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: massive Supreme Court case decision coming down on birthright citizenship,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: which the President is going to lose as in one
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: hundred percent. So it's been a mixed bag for the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: president even with the FED being independent. The Court's coming
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: down on the independence of the Court of the Fed,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: which is very interesting because I thought I thought it
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: would have gone the other way where the president has
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: sole power to hire and fire based on Senate confirmation
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and certain positions need Senate confirmation. And he's trying to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: fire Lisa Cook, who was one of the governors of
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: the FED, and the Court when I was just starting
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: to read the opinion and the Court talked about how
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the FED. First of all, there is nobody who's ever
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: been fired in the one hundred and eleven year history
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: of the FEDS. Okay, Ever, ever, the other thing pointing
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: out is that the idea of a national bank has
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: been around since before the founding of this country, so
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: there is a lot of legal precedents. Okay, enough of that,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Let's say hello to everybody here. There is Will Colesreber,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Will, Good morning, Bill Handle yes, sir, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Cono good morning, Good morning Bill, the lovely Amy, Good
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: morning Amy.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Well, good morning, good morning to you.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yay, and.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Mocking her happiness and joy filled the exuberance.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're way too happy. I hate happy. The only
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: time I am actually happy is when I'm unhappy. That
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: makes me happy. The rest of the time, not a chance,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: No happy for me. And there is Neil Morning.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Neil, good cheers.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And Anne is at home today because she had a
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: flat tire this morning. So can I even hear me?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: At this point very thanks, will okay? So that means
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: a big no, right Cono. We're not going to pass
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: all over everywhere. This is this is all live.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I know you think it's just for the five of
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: us in the morning, but this she can hear us
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: along with a whole bunch of you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: No, I understand.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: But can she talk to us via our system here
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: because we are on Zoom, not.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Unless she has an iPad and dials in phone or
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: iPhone or Android. And will you call us? Please?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Bill?
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Miss?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I mean you can go. I mean you can go
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: right into our Zoom meeting.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Correct, that's the technology.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. I don't I don't get technology anywhere.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I don't understand, Thank you. I don't understand technology. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: do understand you can be anywhere. I get that. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: do understand the concept of phones you can call from anywhere.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I do understand the concept of the Internet where you
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: can call and listen from anywhere. What I don't know
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: is if our if our show is the way we
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: talk to each other is based on a Zoom platform,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: can and call in because she is not on the screen.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So Zoom.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we get a specific ID and then she calls
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: in the same way I do, same way you do. Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know what, I have an idea anywhere in
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the world, Why don't we give Why don't we give
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: everybody our zoom address? Yeah, I just have everybody come
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: in and we'll just yeah, we'll have But what do
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: we do with that screen?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: If you have three hundred people on that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Screen, we'd all be very tiny.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I think Conway has done something like that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I should do that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I remember correctly.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Petros Papaekas from the PMS Show on A five seventy
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: gave out his cell number a couple of times.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I did that with I did that with Leo Laporte.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Uh, and by mistake gave out his uh there's private uh,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: his private phone number. Ooh that was not pleasant. Actually,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I think it was his email address, but his private
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: email address. So he was not happy with me. But well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: here's the problem.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Made you very happy?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe very happy. But here's the question I have.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: If we give out the address, uh, and people jump
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: in and it's a great big piece of stick where
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: we have a you know, four hundred or two thousand
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: or whatever.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Number of people that I'll be joining us on the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: zoom call.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Then nothing stops people from uh sending in forever joining
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the zoom conversation unless we change it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: We would do a special one for that day.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Ah Okay, see there's technology. Okay, we're that sounds good.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: You know what's fun to see everybody's faces?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't care about everybody's faces. I'm just
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: interested about I'm just interested in how many people we
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: can put up on that screen and see what two
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: thousand faces look like. If we can get two thousand
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: people well six o'clock in the morning, seven o'clock in
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the morning, and how many they know.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: No one needs to hear our conversations off the air.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking at you know, our ratings. Yeah, we're
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: going to get four people that are going to join us,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: which is very exciting.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: The ratings are great, sir.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the ratings have gone out dramatically. We've got we've
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: doubled our ratings. We've gone from four to eight people
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: listening to the show.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Big Day. Yeah, Big Big Day. It's pretty impressive.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: And what is I want to point something out because
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I'm asked often, you know about how good the show
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: is and how.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Well we do.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And I tell people, you don't understand. It's not how
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: good we are, it's how bad everybody else is. That's
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: what makes this show work is that we don't suck
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: as much as everybody else in the world of talk.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: You are the king of backhanded compliments pretty much. Yeah, hey,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: you're the least fat person in the room. Uh no, no,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Amy is Amy is very slender. Uh yeah, Kno is
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: pretty thin. Yeah, he's normal weight. Oh will you're pointing
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: to your stomach.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I get that. Okay, Yeah, I understand.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is backwards day where everything it's up is
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: down and then Neil Neils loses away pretty dramatically, which
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: is you know what.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I just try and take the stairs, try and eat
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: right and then spend thirty five thousand dollars to have
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: my guts tighten and not.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty much you do.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: It's up to you.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I went on one of those at the gym. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: went on one of those magical machines that you stand
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: on and they're really sophisticated that tell you your BM.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I oh yeah, or is it your BM? I don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: know how that works.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I don't think it tells you about you tell you
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: it's coming, you better hop.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And I'm looking at this thing and I'm twenty pounds overweight. Okay,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that's ridiculous, and I'm miserable. And for a man my age,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I'm in pretty good shape. The problem is they put
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: my ageed twenty years older than I am. So a
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: guy who's in his nineties, I'm in pretty good shape.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for that machine. Okay, you guys
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: ready to do it? It is time handle on the
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: news on this Tuesday morning, June thirtieth. Let's do it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: It's Amy Neil and me lead story here. The President
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: at his daily news conference from the Oval Office, talked
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: about the housing bill that has come down after months
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: of negotiation bipartisan which both sides of the aisle thought
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: it was horrendously expanded or very very important.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He refuses to sign it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: He says it's a yawn, and what's really important is
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to save America Act. And that has to do with
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the maile in voting and the fraud, the unbelievable fraud
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: that's being committed. And he actually described the housing bill
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: as a yawn. Tell you he is missing the boat,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: big time. Do you think people really care about voting
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: in terms of the quote fraud that's being committed, which
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: it doesn't. He talks about yesterday, this unbelievable fraud that
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: is occurring and there's no proof.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, we just don't.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: See any But that is more important than the housing
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: bill to help people with housing. I tell you he
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I think he's missing the boat. And I think Republicans
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: are also saying, WHOA. You know, there are a lot
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of things more important than making sure that there is
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: no fraud. When there is no fraud in the male
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: in voting.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Amy who to listen to?
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: The US and Iran have separately announced that they will
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: send delegations to Qatar this week. Tehran is insisting it
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: has not agreed to meet with the US at any level.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: This after the US attacked Iranian sites over the weekend
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: after Iran targeted a ship in the Straight of Hormuz.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: They did agree to stop firing on each other for
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: a bit, but President Trump says that Iran had requested
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: a meeting with US counterparts. One of Iran's senior negotiators
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: denied the talks had been scheduled, but they are meeting
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: in guitar this week, just not together apparently.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everything that the president says, the Iranians say, no,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: that's not true. They're at odds. We're at odds, so
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: we don't know where the Twain shall meet.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, yourself handsome.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Now there you are.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: This is a fine How do you do so? Ford?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Just in recent years they started sacking all kinds of people,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: hundreds of engineers, and they made room for artificial intelligence.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: That seems to be the pattern right now. This particular
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: automotive giant believed that they'd be able to get the
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: job done for less money by using AI. The problem
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: is now they're rehiring them back to do the same
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: work that they got, you know, booted from because the
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: AI couldn't do it. This primarily has to do with
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: quality control there on the factory floor, and it just
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: started going down. One of the responses was interesting. KTLA's
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: David Lazarus said, it had no gut. You know, humans
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: have a gut. It's not just what you can see.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: And so they were better, you know, for controlling quality.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: So they're getting rehired.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: But.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: You know what they're going to be hired for to
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: train the AI. Basically they're going to, you know, use
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: their abilities. I'd say, if you are, if you know
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: you're coming back or you're coming for AI training, they
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: should double or triple your salary.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not gonna last very long.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I what I find very interesting is that the number
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: of companies, and I'm talking about across the board that
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in AI and
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a AI is what's keeping the stock market up, just AI,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: the business and the investment. So we'll see if they're right,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: because it's I think it's a fairly big gamble. But
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: they're a lot smarter than I do. I am, that's
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: for sure. I'm certainly not a multi billionaire or a
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: billionaire or a centi millionaire or.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Any of that.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: The clock is ticking for cleanup.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: LA officials have issued an emergency order to give Lineage
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: Logistics less than two months to clean up the wreckage
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: and the eighty five million pounds of spoiled food left
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: behind from that warehouse fire in boil Heights. City officials
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: announced yesterday that they've given Lineage five days to come
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: up with a comprehensive cleanup plan, and then forty five
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: days to actually clean it up. The community continues to
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: suffer from poor air quality from the fire and the
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: stench from the forty five hundred tons of once frozen
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: food that's rotting inside the charred warehouse.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Why isn't it that they didn't have a huge barbecue,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: a massive grill event in the packaging, No, it would probably,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I would think that packaging would melt and plastic.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Business is fine inside, I don't think so.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Pretty much used by its certainly made all the use
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: by dates for sure.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: The Less Angela's Homeless Services Authority LASSA announced yesterday that
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: it had filed a lawsuit against the US Department of
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Housing and Urban Development after the agency moved to suspend
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: federal homeless funding in the Los Angeles recent region. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I think the biggest concern was LASSA was like, how
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: are we going to mishandle the money?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And how are we going to lose the money if
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: we don't have it?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, LASSA, maybe the most I will say it's corrupt,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: although there's plenty of corruption in there, but the most mismanaged.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go beyond that, because the hundreds of millions,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: the billions of dollars that Laosa has gone through. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: wouldn't say that the majority of that is is corruption
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: or fraud. I think the majority is they just don't
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: have people that know what the hell they're doing, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: money is just going through very generous.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so you think it's mostly fraud.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know about mostly, but that's what's money. It's
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: hard to be stupid enough to just lose it.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I think they just sell I think they mismanaged it completely,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: had no idea what they were doing. Yeah, there's that,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure there's plenty of fraud there or hiring
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: people who are close to her relatives or just people
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: had no idea what they're doing.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, administration is saying.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: No, no, we're not going to pay for it, and
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: they're right and lost the saying oh no, no, we're doing
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: a much better job.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Look at what we're doing now.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Add to that the politics that it's Los Angeles and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: the Feds, and this gets to be a complicated story.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Well, this is one way to get the kids into
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: drugs early. A guy in San Diego County has admitted
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: that he enlisted his two children in a conspiracy to
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: grow and distribute hallucinogenic mushrooms and fed his kids silocybin
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: capsules daily Randall Vance psilocybin.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, that stuff.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Well, Randall Vans he's forty three years old, apparently worked
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: with his wife and a friend to grow and distribute
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: psilocybin mushrooms in northern San Diego County, and then admitted
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: that he started feeding his nine and eleven year old
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: children the capsules every other day starting around October of
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, and every day by twenty twenty four.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Every day.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, why if you got me, I mean, it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: a straight out hallucinogen. And I guess the only thing
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: good news is when they do art class. Those kids
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: do color colors like no one else. Yay, plush, Yeah, things,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: that's aw all right?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: You want to end on this.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: One for this maybe? Yeah? For this segment.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Sure sift Cisco Archdiocese will pay nearly four hundred million
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: dollars to survivors of clergy sexual abuse and compet scene
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: seventy years of children off falling prey to the priests there,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: and this was announced yesterday. Deal comes three years after
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: the archdiocese filed for Chapter eleven bacrantcy. Amongst all of
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: this the growing number of loss suits and so on.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: The archbishop said and referred to the settlement as a
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: path toward fair compensation for survivors who have borne the
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: weight of this abuse for a lifetime.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, we imagine.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the archbishop around the country have said number one,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: we accept full responsibility. Okay, and they've come to the
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: table with the money. I granted, some have gone bankrupt,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: some have really negotiated on absolutely crazy trying not to
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: pay all the money. Understood because this is a legal issue.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: But I think the good news out of this, if
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: there is a silver lining, is that today the Catholic
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Church is focused so much on potential abuse from priests
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: that even a whisper or a hint that a priest
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: is doing something wrong, engaging in misconduct, man, they started
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: an investigation right there. And so they're doing what they
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: should have done. They're doing what they should have done
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: and paying huge amounts of money. Also, the archbishop says,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: you know, we accept full responsibility, and I want to apologize.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: That is you know, I find that interesting because it's
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: like apologizing apologizing for slavery. It's you know, when's the
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: last time someone owned a slave? Here in the United States. Now,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: can you apologize big picture, Yeah, probably apologize institutionally. Yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: historically I think so, But we have to we really
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: have to put it into context where they are. It's
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: a very different Catholic church, very different. It's no longer
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: eight year old boys now it's nine year olds. Okay,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: the story that I just picked up and started in
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: the news, but I want to share with you this
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Michigan couple are charged with murder because their seven year
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: old son died of heart complications. He was two hundred
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and fifty five pounds at age seven, holy smoke, and
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: he's impossible. He was bedridden and all they did was
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: feed him snacks. That's it his entire life. And so
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: they've been charged big time, and their hoarders big time.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: So they had a hard time finding the kid and
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: the family. The father worked for Denta Dental, Delta Dental
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: and had superb insurance. What a crazy story, crazy story, just.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Mentally unfit or who the parents? Yeah, I mean obviously,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: but they're.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Oh no, they're going there.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: No, they've been charged with second degree murder, child and neglect, torture,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I mean all of it. So it's it's a it's
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: a horrific story. There's another one that people are really
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: upset about, and let's continue on handle on the news,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Amy Neil and me.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Well, we have one story before that, Amy, Oh those
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: poor mosquitos.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, overweight mosquitos.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Well, no, they're just sterile.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Oh so millions of sterile male Mexican Actually they're not mosquitos.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: They're fruitflies. Sorry, wrong, bug, Millions of sterile Mexican fruitflies.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: They are going to be released in parts of San
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Diego County after one mated female fruitfly was detected around
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Spring Valley. Of course, they want to cut down on
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: fruit flies because they do a lot of.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Damage.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: So in an effort to dramatically reduce the population of
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: the harmful fruitfly, authorities will launch their sterile insect technique.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: That means that sterile male flies will be dispersed either
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: from the air or from the ground, and they'll mate
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: with the females and that will end the fly's reproduction process.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, also releasing those flies. These fruitflies also, after being treated,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: they have a tendency to try to mate with other
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: male for male fruit.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Flies, I don't believe that story. No such thing as
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: a sterile Mexican, right, Cono, that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Is cream one.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Cono just not died and pointed to me.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: They try, they they try.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: All right, this was the story you were talking about. Bill,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: You've got a doctor in the Netherlands that assisted the
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: death of a terminally ill child. Now they only tell
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: us that the child was aged between one and twelve
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: years old, and this is the first time. So the
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport disclosed the death in
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: a letter just this week to the Dutch House of Representatives.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: So the assistance in the death of the for children
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: is actually in that age range has been legal for
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: under certain circumstances, of course, since twenty twenty four. They
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: didn't give any specifics.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: No, it's a.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: It's a huge question because in the Netherlands, which one
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: of the first places you could die and ask for
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: assisted death. It's basically the rules are the same almost
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: all over the world, and that is terminally ill doctors
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: have to ascertain but the patient always has the choice
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: always is deemed. So no, no, no, But here's where
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going. How does a child, how does someone who's
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: ten years old really have a choice? Is there such
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: thing as making a decision informed decision. This is when
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: the parents make the decision for the kid, and that's
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: when it's difficult. And then, of course the argument is
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: going to be the slippery slope. You have a kid
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: who has a horrific disease, painful as hell, terminal is
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: going to die. That's a fairly easy call. But where
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: does that stop.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: You've got that, And as much as i'm you know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: for trans writes and all of those things, you do
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: have to ask, well, if children are starting to make
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: decisions about their sexuality that involve surgery and stuff, at
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: what point does someone flip that and say, hey, if
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: they can decide for these things and that they're at
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: the age of consent for sex and everything else.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you could, although they could limit it
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: as a public policy. But my kids are absolutely thrilled
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: that this law was not around in the United States
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: when they were younger.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: You would have just been sitting around their room going, oh,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I heard a cough.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Yet did okay, I get to keep my credit card
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: and not have it used for the rest of my life?
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Okay, talk about bad timing and not meaning to be
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: snarky about it. More than one hundred people had just
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: been deported from the US to Venezuela. They were being
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: held in a hotel when the earthquakes hit. A rotation
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: flight from Miami arrived in Venezuela just hours before the earthquakes,
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: and they were taken to a hotel in Lagueria, which
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: is one of the hardest hits areas. One woman says
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: she escaped the rubble from the hotel with about twenty
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: other deportees who just walked the streets looking for help
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: and wandered around for miles before they finally got to
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: a National Guard building so they can make some phone calls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: But that is horrific.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: So that's a double deportation, one from the United States
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and one from life.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's too soon, isn't it.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, way too soon.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, that pesky Fourth Amendment always sticking its nose in places.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: The Supreme Court yesterday ruled that the use of what
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: they call geofence warrant to capture location data from a
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: cell phone and such in search of robbery suspects that
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: that constituted a search for Fourth Amendment purpose. This means
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: that any officer will have to obtain a warrant text
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: as such data in the future and no way around that.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: It's considered to be unjustified governmental intrusion on the privacy
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: of the individual.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's surprising. I thought the court would go the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: other way.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm assuming that when you talk about exigen circumstances
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: where they're going after someone involved with a crime at
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: that moment, they can go ahead and do it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: But this is there's got to be something.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is looking for someone I think after the fact.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: And no, nope, not the case. This was a Virginia
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: guy who was suspected in the twenty nineteen bank robbery,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: and they cops used this particular procedure to look at
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: people whether it were within three hundred yards or one
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: hundred yards of the bank at the time it was robbed,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: and there it was. They got him on that one. Okay,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: let's go ahead. We still have a couple more.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Stories, can't they least agree the kid's sake. The House
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: has overwhelmingly passed legislation designed to provide greater protections to
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: children online. It passed two sixty seven to one seventeen,
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: but prospects for the package clearing both chambers now making
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: its way to the Senate are dim. The House and
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Senate remain at an impass over which of the competing
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: child safety efforts lawmakers should hang their hats on. So
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: things that they're looking at doing are verifying users age online.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: First Amendment concerns a critical provision called the Duty of Care,
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: which compels online companies to design social media platforms with
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: kids safety in mind. Those are all issues, but apparently
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: the House and Senate versions are way far apart.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there are people that go the other way.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: First Amendment rights.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: You know, doesn't your nine year old have the right
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: to go online and log onto lesbians from venus dot com?
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And the answer is, I would think so, okay, I
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: think we have time for a couple more.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: You got your smoke grenade in my peanut butter. You
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: got your peanut butter in my smoke grenade. That's two
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: great tastes.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: TSA officers uncovered two live smoke grenades and checked luggaged
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: after one was concealed inside a jar of peanut literally
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: shoved inside a jar of peanut butter. The check baggage
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: officers they do their X ray scanning and it flagged
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: because there's something unusual there. And when this mensa member
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: was was asked, you know, what the hell are you doing?
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Goes My friend said that I could probably smuggle them
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: through if I put them in a can of peanut butter.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And the question is what are you doing with
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: a smoke grenade?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: That's story that doesn't tell us what that is.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if it was someone trying to
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: get them from one state where they were legal into
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: a state where they weren't legal or something, or not
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: wanting to ship them, or I don't know if they
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: You know, what are you gonna do with a smoke
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: on a plane if you have nothing else?
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's see one last story, Amy, and then we'll
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: move on to the topic at the top of the hour.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: Neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night stays these
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds skid Row.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: That's another story. Skid Row's only post office is closed.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: Officials say there were repeated break ins and damage to
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: employee properties, so they kind of had no choice and
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: they said, we're done. And now people who are on
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: skid Row have to travel outside skid Row to get
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: stamps or to mail a package. Dwight gains is sixty five.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: He usually sleeps in a homeless camp across the street
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: from the post office on Seventh Street, and he says,
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: don't desert us.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: People down here need services.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: You know, if we hear about these things about how
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: people have to be able to mail in because they're
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: not able to get to the polling place and all this,
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: and you need hospital services, the poorest parts of Los
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Angeles are the ones that lose the hospitals, right, lose
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: the post offices that lose these services.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: But look at why because it's untenable. For example, you're
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: you shouldn't be able to use a post office box
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: as a toilet, and the post office is saying, uh,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: that's enough for this.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Special delivery. Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: It just it's at that point, it's just like they're
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: only the people that think that they're helping are only
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: harming people by letting them live like feral humans.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: All right, we are done, guys. Coming up.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: The California budget three three hundred and fifty two billion
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: dollars state budget just signed by the Newsome, by the Newsom,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the governor, and I'm going to dive into that a
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: little bit and find out what's going on. And there
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: is a fundamental flaw here that I want to share
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: with you, which is always ignored for some crazy reason.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: You mean, right back, and now sinstot.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Ignored the flaw.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Oh that's called it works anyway. The flaw is ignored,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: And I'll explain that coming up. Kf I am sixty.
• 30:14
