Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
0:04
Speaker 1: AM six forty him Steve, Steve Stay High Am six
0:13
Speaker 1: forty Bill Handle here, Good morning. It is a Wednesday morning,
0:17
Speaker 1: June tenth. Though a lot going on today. Platner in
0:22
Speaker 1: Maine has won the Democratic nod to running against Senator
0:28
Speaker 1: Susan Collins in in Maine, and that is going to
0:32
Speaker 1: be a very tight race and there's we'll talk a
0:33
Speaker 1: lot about that coming up because it has huge national importance. Now,
0:39
Speaker 1: the good natorial race here in the state of California.
0:44
Speaker 1: We start with the basic rules, that is, the top
0:49
Speaker 1: two vote getters in any race then go to the general.
0:55
Speaker 1: This is statewide, go to the general election in November,
0:59
Speaker 1: and doesn't matter what party. You can have two Democrats,
1:03
Speaker 1: you can have two Republicans. In this case, you have
1:06
Speaker 1: one of each party. And so there it lines up.
1:11
Speaker 1: And then there are a couple of issues in terms
1:13
Speaker 1: of who Steve Hilton is very interesting guy and he
1:17
Speaker 1: has turned what would be detrimental it would be something
1:21
Speaker 1: that could be attacked into a real asset. Very smart
1:23
Speaker 1: guy to do that too, all right, So he is
1:25
Speaker 1: a Republican. He is not considered an ideologue. He's not crazy,
1:30
Speaker 1: frothing at the mouth, a fundamentalist, maga Republican. Even though
1:35
Speaker 1: Trump endorsed him and he well, still he can't say
1:41
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden legitimately won the presidency in twenty twenty.
1:46
Speaker 1: I just can't come to those terms, although he has.
1:50
Speaker 1: Here's what he says amongst many Republicans is that Joe
1:53
Speaker 1: Biden was elected, and he was the president, and was
2:01
Speaker 1: he legitimately elected. They don't go that far. Now, there
2:06
Speaker 1: are plenty of Republicans that say Joe Biden shouldn't be president,
2:09
Speaker 1: it wasn't president because it was a fraudulent presidency. He
2:11
Speaker 1: has not gone that far, and he is going to
2:14
Speaker 1: move away from that position because he's got to distance
2:19
Speaker 1: himself from Trump during a primary. I mean, look what
2:24
Speaker 1: Trump did to Cornyn and what he did to Cassidy,
2:28
Speaker 1: two people running for established people running coming back for
2:33
Speaker 1: their Senate seat, and he primaried them out in the primaries. Okay,
2:37
Speaker 1: he's not going to primary. He's not going to move
2:41
Speaker 1: people to one way or the other. When he endorses Hilton,
2:45
Speaker 1: I think is going to hurt Hilton. Trump is upside
2:49
Speaker 1: down more in California than any other state. It's hurtful.
2:52
Speaker 1: It's going to be hurting them politically. There's no question
2:56
Speaker 1: anybody with an R as part of their name on
2:59
Speaker 1: a on a ballot today, it's not going to help
3:03
Speaker 1: in California. Okay. So Steve Hilton, who is he now?
3:09
Speaker 1: He is a very interesting guy. He's a brit who
3:12
Speaker 1: came to the US fourteen years ago that we haven't
3:14
Speaker 1: seen since Arnold Schwarzenegger. But Arnold Schwarzenegger came to the
3:19
Speaker 1: US what thirty years before he became governor. Hilton is
3:25
Speaker 1: fourteen years and he has immersed himself in politics In England,
3:31
Speaker 1: he immersed himself in politics and was a senior advisor
3:35
Speaker 1: to David Cameron, who won as a Conservative, and Hilton
3:39
Speaker 1: has given a lot of credit for that. He's an entrepreneur,
3:44
Speaker 1: a policy analyst, a Fox News host. He's been that too,
3:47
Speaker 1: and his political a position is fairly easy to understand,
3:53
Speaker 1: and you would think this. He promised to breathe new
3:56
Speaker 1: life into California. The party had not won a statewide
3:59
Speaker 1: office in twenty years. He's going to bring radical change
4:02
Speaker 1: to the state. Cost of living, shortage of housing, and
4:05
Speaker 1: all of this he blames on the one party democratic
4:08
Speaker 1: rule because we are as close to one party here
4:11
Speaker 1: in the state of California, super majority in the Senate
4:15
Speaker 1: and the Assembly, and a Democratic governor. So that's California
4:22
Speaker 1: for now. The odds are really stacked against him simply
4:26
Speaker 1: because he's a Republican, that's it. And his connection, even
4:30
Speaker 1: previous connection to Donald Trump. I mean, he's still pro Trump,
4:34
Speaker 1: but he's distancing himself. I think the big story here
4:39
Speaker 1: is where he could be attacked. He is a brit
4:43
Speaker 1: He is not an American. And when I say he
4:48
Speaker 1: is a brit even that goes to dealing with some explanation,
4:54
Speaker 1: and that is he came to the United States adopted
4:57
Speaker 1: America as his adopted home country, much like my parents did.
5:02
Speaker 1: And he did exactly what my parents did. My parents
5:06
Speaker 1: gave up their Brazilian citizenship to become American. But when
5:11
Speaker 1: they did that in the fifties, that was the law.
5:14
Speaker 1: You had to renounce any foreign citizenship. The law has
5:19
Speaker 1: changed today. You can be a citizen of several countries.
5:26
Speaker 1: You can have four passports. I have three. I have
5:32
Speaker 1: American citizenship, I have Brazilian citizenship. I will have three,
5:36
Speaker 1: and I'm getting Polish citizenship because you know, for the
5:41
Speaker 1: first time, I want to be the butt of Polish jokes.
5:44
Speaker 1: I'm tired of just telling you how many questioning how
5:48
Speaker 1: many polls does it take to screw in a light bulb? Okay,
5:55
Speaker 1: by the way, there's a lot of those, and I'm
5:57
Speaker 1: going to be the butt of many of those. The
5:59
Speaker 1: point is, here's what he did is because he didn't
6:03
Speaker 1: have to because the law has changed and he could
6:05
Speaker 1: stay a dual citizen. He voluntarily gave up his British
6:10
Speaker 1: citizenry when he became an American, or he did it later.
6:14
Speaker 1: I think he did that a couple of years ago.
6:16
Speaker 1: He gave up his British citizenship. So what he is
6:19
Speaker 1: saying is beyond being born here, I came here and
6:27
Speaker 1: I became an American citizen, giving up where I came from.
6:31
Speaker 1: That's how much I love this country. So the accusation
6:35
Speaker 1: he's a carpetbagger, he came over here just enter politics.
6:38
Speaker 1: He really has loyalty to Britain, all of that disappears
6:42
Speaker 1: and he has turned what would be a detriment to
6:46
Speaker 1: his favor. It's a good move politically speaking, although I
6:50
Speaker 1: also happen to believe. That's what he believes too. And
6:54
Speaker 1: when my parents did this. Now I'm an American citizen
6:57
Speaker 1: and I did not give up my citizenship to Brazil
7:01
Speaker 1: even though law says when I became a citizen, I
7:03
Speaker 1: had to. Why is that because I was a minor.
7:06
Speaker 1: I became an American citizen automatically, and according to Brazilian law,
7:12
Speaker 1: I'm also a Brazilian citizen because I didn't give up
7:15
Speaker 1: my citizenship, so he did. And it's a politically very
7:19
Speaker 1: smart move. He's a smart guy, he really is. He
7:22
Speaker 1: comes off well, he's friendly, he wears interesting shirts. He
7:28
Speaker 1: is not a screaming right wing maga kind of guy.
7:33
Speaker 1: But he's going to lose. He's going to lose dramatically
7:35
Speaker 1: because a Republican running for office in this state just
7:39
Speaker 1: doesn't make it. There's a few districts, very few, in
7:44
Speaker 1: which a national where it's a national office running for Congress.
7:49
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I think we have I
7:53
Speaker 1: don't even know how many districts we have in California,
7:56
Speaker 1: fifty three or fifty eight of which I think may
8:00
Speaker 1: be Republican. All right, Now, a story that just came out,
8:04
Speaker 1: a study that just came out in the journal Science
8:07
Speaker 1: about remote remote work. Now, remote work is a good thing. Boy,
8:11
Speaker 1: we all loved it, didn't We didn't have to go
8:14
Speaker 1: into the office. I didn't have to get up and shower.
8:18
Speaker 1: You could go dressed in like a pig, you could
8:21
Speaker 1: smell like an Iraqi sheep herder, and nobody cared because
8:24
Speaker 1: you were at home enjoying yourself. Now, at some point
8:28
Speaker 1: it was started because we had to do it of COVID.
8:31
Speaker 1: But and then when people got used to remote work,
8:34
Speaker 1: they said, Okay, we really like it for all those reasons.
8:39
Speaker 1: But it's easier. You spend time with your family, times
8:42
Speaker 1: on your own. Your hours are basically your hours as
8:45
Speaker 1: long as your work is done. The whole series of reasons.
8:49
Speaker 1: And there were some employers that said, you know, we
8:52
Speaker 1: really want people to be here. We want more control,
8:55
Speaker 1: we want the socialization, and that has been a big quest.
9:00
Speaker 1: So here is what the studies do say. First of all,
9:07
Speaker 1: our workers are willing to give up anywhere from four
9:09
Speaker 1: to ten percent of their money to have the ability
9:12
Speaker 1: to work remotely. Okay, however, people in remote jobs have
9:19
Speaker 1: seen a rise an hour spent alone during the workday.
9:22
Speaker 1: That makes sense, but that translates into more visits to
9:26
Speaker 1: mental health providers. In self reports, they're assessing their own
9:30
Speaker 1: mental health negatively, and so the findings are suggesting that
9:35
Speaker 1: people might be choosing poorly when it comes to their
9:39
Speaker 1: well being. In other words, getting more and more involved
9:43
Speaker 1: in working at home quite often means you're not going
9:47
Speaker 1: to be socializing. You're not going to be as clearly
9:51
Speaker 1: around the water cooler. By the way, are there any
9:53
Speaker 1: water coolers left? I don't even know if people hang
9:56
Speaker 1: around water coolers I have in our breakroom. It's very nice.
10:01
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Heather, we have one in our break room.
10:03
Speaker 1: It's very nice. Okay, Well, I don't pay attention because
10:07
Speaker 1: I have not deed. Iire to talk to anybody around
10:09
Speaker 1: there in any case. This study looked at data from
10:13
Speaker 1: five large national surveys on American workers and jobs that
10:18
Speaker 1: are at work, place of work or remote work, and
10:24
Speaker 1: the jobs that allowed to be remotable job and then
10:30
Speaker 1: jobs that can't be done remotable surgery, engineering, plumbing, but
10:35
Speaker 1: software engineering, marketing that all can be done at home.
10:39
Speaker 1: They found that workers in remotable jobs don't do as well.
10:48
Speaker 1: They simply don't do as well, and the problem is
10:53
Speaker 1: our spent alone. That's really the issue. The hour spent
10:57
Speaker 1: alone in a seventy two port rise and chain answers
11:00
Speaker 1: the spending their entire day with no human contact because
11:03
Speaker 1: you're alone. So you're married, well, the spouse is off
11:09
Speaker 1: to work, the kids are off to school, and there
11:11
Speaker 1: you are alone, and you can only go so many
11:15
Speaker 1: times and make yourself happy, you know what I mean?
11:19
Speaker 1: In a day. The rest of the time you are
11:22
Speaker 1: completely by yourself. Actually you're by yourself doing that also,
11:26
Speaker 1: but that's a different, different topic. So remote jobs, emotional
11:33
Speaker 1: distress goes up more visit to mental health providers. That
11:38
Speaker 1: is a problem. It turns all of that turns out
11:42
Speaker 1: to be a problem with being alone. We are a
11:44
Speaker 1: herd society. Aloneess does not wake make us work well.
11:52
Speaker 1: We don't like to be hermits. We need people, absolutely
11:56
Speaker 1: need people. There is a terrific study that was done
11:58
Speaker 1: i think at the turn of the last entry, in
12:01
Speaker 1: which infants were not held at birth, they were just
12:05
Speaker 1: left there in the cribs they were fed versus infants
12:08
Speaker 1: that were held and cuddled and nurtured. Huge difference. The
12:13
Speaker 1: infants that were alone withered, just withered, and that helped
12:19
Speaker 1: prove the proposal that helped prove the posit that we
12:24
Speaker 1: need people. And so, you know, I mean I work
12:31
Speaker 1: alone for the most part, as does Neil. The rest
12:34
Speaker 1: of the crowd are in studio right now in my
12:36
Speaker 1: home studio, and I'm not talking to anybody. Well, I
12:40
Speaker 1: do talk off the air because during the breaks I'd
12:43
Speaker 1: like to offend everybody I work with. But you know,
12:47
Speaker 1: I'm alone a lot, and I'm alone purposely a lot,
12:52
Speaker 1: and I'm alone because no one wants to hang with
12:55
Speaker 1: me a lot. And for me, it's not really fair
12:58
Speaker 1: because I have all kinds of mental illness. Anyway. You know,
13:01
Speaker 1: I've been with a psychologist now for thirty years. I've
13:05
Speaker 1: been seeing a psychologist. But Jews do that any Jew
13:08
Speaker 1: that can afford a psychologist go as a psychologists. And
13:11
Speaker 1: I go twice a week. And as I've said many
13:15
Speaker 1: many times, on Tuesday, i hate my mother and when
13:19
Speaker 1: I have sex with a dog, and on Thursdays it's
13:22
Speaker 1: exactly the opposite. Okay, Dynamic grocery pricing, it's becoming more
13:28
Speaker 1: and more prevalent. And what is dynamic pricing? It changes,
13:32
Speaker 1: Prices change in real time depending on how many people
13:37
Speaker 1: are looking for a product at a given time, depending
13:40
Speaker 1: on the cost of the product, the grocery for the grocer,
13:45
Speaker 1: depending on you know, what they're doing. Are they close
13:50
Speaker 1: to an end by date or end sale day that
13:53
Speaker 1: prices are going to go down. You see that all
13:55
Speaker 1: the time, you know, reduced in priced, But that's not
13:57
Speaker 1: real time. Real time time is it's right now And
14:03
Speaker 1: there is a lot of controversy now. Dynamic pricing has
14:06
Speaker 1: been around forever, certainly with airlines, hotel rooms. Those prices change.
14:12
Speaker 1: Disneyland dynamic pricing. Those prices change and can on a
14:16
Speaker 1: daily basis. But those are one offs. You don't go
14:19
Speaker 1: to Disneyland every day, you don't jump on an airplane
14:22
Speaker 1: every day. You buy groceries every day, and so you're
14:26
Speaker 1: looking at it. And by the way, the technology is
14:29
Speaker 1: what allows dynamic pricing. I mean you're not going to
14:31
Speaker 1: have the clerk, the employee of the store going around
14:35
Speaker 1: and putting stamps or putting new prices on every five minutes.
14:40
Speaker 1: Obviously that's impossible. So what's happening is what you see
14:44
Speaker 1: at gas stations which really have dynamic pricing. One it's
14:50
Speaker 1: a penny yesterday, it's two cents today, up, five cents, up,
14:54
Speaker 1: ten cents down. All that hasn't happened in a while.
14:57
Speaker 1: We're used to that, used to grocery shopping with dynamic pricing,
15:02
Speaker 1: and it's coming now. Consumers say that whole point about
15:06
Speaker 1: of dynamic pricing is so groceries, grocery stores can put
15:11
Speaker 1: their price up. That's what it's all about. A bunch
15:15
Speaker 1: of people reaching for a bag of oreos. Okay, price
15:19
Speaker 1: of oreos jumps another ten cents because we're doing really
15:23
Speaker 1: well with oreos or running low on stock and its
15:26
Speaker 1: supply and demand, and they just change the little electronic sign,
15:30
Speaker 1: which I'm assuming is going to make them money in
15:34
Speaker 1: the long run. I think it's an investment that makes
15:36
Speaker 1: sense because they don't have to pay clerks to go
15:38
Speaker 1: around with those machines and stamp. You've seen those guys
15:42
Speaker 1: that go ahead and you know there, that's a horrible job,
15:46
Speaker 1: by the way, to have that, but they do it.
15:49
Speaker 1: They do it all day long. Those jobs are going
15:51
Speaker 1: to disappear with dynamic pricing. And let me tell you
15:55
Speaker 1: how quickly it can change. So I'm buying an airline
15:59
Speaker 1: ticket and okay, look at it, I'm going someplace. I go,
16:03
Speaker 1: all right, I looked at the price on the computer. Okay,
16:07
Speaker 1: it's just happened to us. Lindsay's looking at the price,
16:10
Speaker 1: comes back to me a few minutes later and says,
16:13
Speaker 1: here's the price, and I tell her go ahead and
16:16
Speaker 1: pull the trigger. Ten minutes have passed from the time
16:23
Speaker 1: we or she looked at the price to the time
16:26
Speaker 1: we pulled the trigger, and those seats have disappeared because
16:31
Speaker 1: of dynamic pricing. All of a sudden, that super duper
16:35
Speaker 1: puper deal has disappeared, and now we're up to normal
16:40
Speaker 1: retail or close to retail shopping. That's dynamic pricing. And
16:47
Speaker 1: the grocery store, the grocery people are saying, no, when
16:51
Speaker 1: prices go down for us, they're gonna go down for you.
16:57
Speaker 1: The problem is no one believes it. That's the problem
17:02
Speaker 1: because inflation is part and parcel of that formula. So
17:06
Speaker 1: Ben Winters, director of AI and Privacy at the Consumer
17:09
Speaker 1: Federation of America, said, what companies are doing is using
17:13
Speaker 1: a person's purchase history because also this can get crazy.
17:19
Speaker 1: Facial recognition. Now, does that matter when you're buying an
17:23
Speaker 1: airline ticket? Of course, not, because you're buying it on
17:25
Speaker 1: the internet, but you're buying shopping, you're right there and
17:28
Speaker 1: facial recognition hits you. Well, you're on video when you
17:32
Speaker 1: walk into the store, and using facial recognition, all of
17:35
Speaker 1: a sudden that goes into the algorithm, and all of
17:37
Speaker 1: a sudden, the store knows, in my case, I'm going
17:41
Speaker 1: to buy my smoked salmon, and normally it's twenty four dollars,
17:47
Speaker 1: but they know that I really like it, and they've
17:50
Speaker 1: recognized my face or the computer has, the algorithm has,
17:54
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it goes up a buck
17:57
Speaker 1: and then maybe later on it goes down. Is the
18:00
Speaker 1: technology there? You bet you now. The stores them cells
18:07
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, we would never do that. Well, you've
18:10
Speaker 1: got privacy activists that would say, oh, yeah, you would. Now.
18:17
Speaker 1: The stores are saying that we're really only using dynamic
18:21
Speaker 1: pricing to lower prices for items that are nearing sell
18:26
Speaker 1: by dates or they want to move because there's too
18:28
Speaker 1: much inventory. If it's a box of cereal and it's
18:31
Speaker 1: going to go out of code in three days, you
18:33
Speaker 1: reduce the price. And by the way, that's good because
18:36
Speaker 1: I'm making sure the grocery store says, I'm making sure
18:40
Speaker 1: it moves through and not creating more food weight, more
18:43
Speaker 1: food waste. Okay, that's the upside, right does anybody believe
18:47
Speaker 1: that too? And prices might fluctuate for a bunch of
18:50
Speaker 1: other reasons. The changing costs to the grocer, that's the
18:53
Speaker 1: most common. The manufacturer is raising prices, doing inflation, or
18:58
Speaker 1: lowering prices because they use a world commodity like chocolate
19:03
Speaker 1: or flour or corn. Higher gas prices, increase labor costs
19:08
Speaker 1: because a new contract kicks in and all of a
19:09
Speaker 1: sudden there's more money. So the bottom line is we're
19:13
Speaker 1: going to see prices change dynamically, and I think that's
19:16
Speaker 1: going to happen across the board because when it hits
19:21
Speaker 1: the grocery store, and it is, but it's going to
19:24
Speaker 1: get much more prevalent. I think that's the last step
19:28
Speaker 1: in grocery pricing, in dynamic pricing, where everything is going
19:32
Speaker 1: to be dynamically priced. Well, Uber does that constantly. You
19:36
Speaker 1: look at the ride share companies. Man try to get
19:42
Speaker 1: a car leaving an event like a concert, and see
19:46
Speaker 1: how much money you're going to pay for that relative
19:49
Speaker 1: to the middle of the concert, and you may pay
19:51
Speaker 1: half of what the price is that's dynamic pricing. It's
19:56
Speaker 1: no fun. It really isn't It makes sense, makes sense
20:00
Speaker 1: on a monetary level, but not for us, I don't
20:03
Speaker 1: think so. Okay, a story about infertility. And as you know,
20:07
Speaker 1: thirty years I spent in the world of infertility, not
20:10
Speaker 1: only practicing law, but having a surrogacy agency. And this
20:14
Speaker 1: is all about creating kids. And this is all about
20:16
Speaker 1: creating kids with embryos. And to create kids with embryos,
20:20
Speaker 1: you need to fertilize an egg, or an egg has
20:23
Speaker 1: to be fertilized with male sperm, because that's sort of
20:27
Speaker 1: the way it works. And infertility has gone up decade
20:33
Speaker 1: after decade, and really don't know why. The answer is
20:38
Speaker 1: nobody really can prove why. I mean, there have been
20:42
Speaker 1: some theories, one of them based on real science. For example,
20:48
Speaker 1: testes that is gonads nerds have to be kept at
20:54
Speaker 1: one degree below body temperature, which is why men who
20:59
Speaker 1: are undergoing infertility treatments are told to stay away from jacuzzies.
21:05
Speaker 1: They's too hot. And this is why physiologically during the
21:11
Speaker 1: summer it's well, I'm gonna get a little bit. Uh.
21:16
Speaker 1: It's a little as real though, and that is during
21:19
Speaker 1: the summer, the scrotum sort of drops and you get
21:25
Speaker 1: to be a bell ringer during the winter. There's a
21:29
Speaker 1: lot of shrinkage that goes on, as men will know
21:33
Speaker 1: and will tell you about it. That has to do
21:35
Speaker 1: with the temperature of the testicles. And that's what everybody thought,
21:39
Speaker 1: was it. But you know what, there is a common
21:42
Speaker 1: denominator and that you're ready for this. Every time there
21:47
Speaker 1: was a change, every time infertility went up, every single
21:50
Speaker 1: time there was a stat that was given, you know
21:53
Speaker 1: what was a commonality around the world iPhones, smartphones? I mean,
22:03
Speaker 1: why is that? I mean that's kind of crazy. So
22:09
Speaker 1: that seemed to be the common driver. And then there
22:11
Speaker 1: was a second study that came out and the authors wrote,
22:15
Speaker 1: countries with very different healthcare systems, welfare regimes, abortion laws,
22:19
Speaker 1: religious traditions, recessions, demographic trends all saw exactly the same thing.
22:27
Speaker 1: Fertility declines accelerated once smartphones became a mass phenomenon. So
22:34
Speaker 1: what does that mean. Well, that's going to lead to
22:36
Speaker 1: more studies, is what it's going to mean. And is
22:39
Speaker 1: it that people are simply not engaged as much, You
22:44
Speaker 1: don't have sex as much. Maybe maybe the incidence of
22:49
Speaker 1: sexual encounters drops dramatically the use of smartphones. But this
22:53
Speaker 1: is beginning the study of this entire issue. And believe me, infertility.
22:59
Speaker 1: We're talking fit teen percent of the population is infertile,
23:02
Speaker 1: either male or female, part of any couple. Uh, it's
23:08
Speaker 1: it's a no small deal. Having dealt with this for
23:11
Speaker 1: many years, and so now off to the after the
23:15
Speaker 1: races they go and trying to figure out what exactly
23:19
Speaker 1: it is that's smartphones And that's a commonality. I mean
23:23
Speaker 1: that's across the board every place in the world, every
23:28
Speaker 1: socioeconomic socioeconomic level, because everybody poor people have smartphones too.
23:34
Speaker 1: I mean, there is no one that doesn't have a
23:37
Speaker 1: smartphone in h this in we're in the world. I mean,
23:42
Speaker 1: go to the weirdest, smallest village in the middle of
23:45
Speaker 1: the Amazon jungle where or in New Guinea where you'll
23:50
Speaker 1: see guys running around with the bones through their noses,
23:53
Speaker 1: chanting around a campfire, and then they'll have a smartphone
23:56
Speaker 1: in their hands. So we're gonna see what happens with that.
24:01
Speaker 1: That is going to be interesting stuff. Okay, coming up,
24:05
Speaker 1: we have a huge housing shortage in the United States,
24:09
Speaker 1: particularly California, particularly southern California, and there's a new law
24:15
Speaker 1: and I won't say it's controversial, Well, I guess it
24:18
Speaker 1: is if you live near any of where this is
24:20
Speaker 1: going to happen. And it's going to create a million
24:24
Speaker 1: new apartments and condos in California, is what the proponents say.
24:29
Speaker 1: I'll come back with that, but first, this is KFI
