Gov. Shutdown: Burbank Airport Closed | The Insurrection Act · The Bill Handel Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: You're listening to bill Handle on demand from kf I
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: AM six forty. No, it's a shutdown, shut down.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty bill Handle here it is a
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Taco Tuesday, October seven.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Burbank Airport.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Now, for those of you that don't know Hollywood Burbank,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I used to be Bob Hope and that well, it's
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Hollywood Burbank, and then it became Bob Hope and now
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: it's just Burbank Airport. It's about ten minutes from the station,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and it is probably the nicest airport in southern California.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Not so much the way it looks because it's been
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: around for a while, it's just the way it operates.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: There are two terminals. I think they're building a third terminal.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It is easy. Parking is simple. I mean unlike lax.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I picked up Lindsay over the weekend and she has
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: come back from Europe and went, oh my god, it
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: was a crap show and its forty minutes just to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: get into that you it was just nuts. So here's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Burbank Airport, in my opinion, one of the best airports
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in the country. If you can bail out and or
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: people do everything they can to leave and come back
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: on Burbank. Well, there's a big issue with air traffic controllers,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: as you can imagine, and Burbank Airport is the poster
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: child because it got hit the worst with this TSA.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Air traffic control controllers, specifically air traffic controllers during the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: shutdown do not get paid, but they must go to work,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and there is a shortage of air traffic controllers and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: they are working now in many cases ten hours a day,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: six days a week. It is one, if not the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: most stressful job that exists. I mean, you're putting airplanes
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: in the sky and you're telling them where to go,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: at what level, what speed, coming in and leaving, you
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: make a mistake and three hundred people die or three
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: hundred people could die.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And so it is a mess.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And what happened at Hollywood Burdbank a pilot came in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and asked for directions was flying in, and the pilot
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: got a recorded message saying there is no air traffic
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: controllers because of understaffing, we have none here that can
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: help you. WHOA, that's pleasant, all right now? If you
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: were on that airplane and you got that news, that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be pleasant. I'm assuming that the pilot didn't share
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that with the people on the plane, but it was
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it was trade.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It was crazy.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And it also what happens is during these times is
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that people call in sick.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: They're not getting paid. They probably will get paid.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Historically they've always gotten paid retroactively, but right now they
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: can't make the mortgage, they can't buy groceries, so they
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: have to go into savings, they have to go into
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: credit cards. And so during these times, and this is
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: across the board with the government workers, those that are
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: forced to work without pay, and that is a huge
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: number out of the four million employees.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So they call in sick.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, there was
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: only a small uptick and air traffic controllers calling in sick.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: The delays now people was that airplanes were still taking
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: off and landing because the rules kick over when there
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: are no air traffic controllers. I mean, they're still flying
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: going on, but the pilots effectively have to control themselves.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And these if I remember, I don't remember what you
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: call them, but they are not only air traffic controllers
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: at the airport, but they're also regional controllers that as
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: soon as you leave airspace and the regional people take over.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Those still seem to be working, but the delays are astronomical.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: As of five pm out going this yesterday, outgoing flights
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: at Hollywood Burbank delayed an average of two hours two
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and a half hours. The longest delay was three almost
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: four hours, just short of four hours. Oh man, oh
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the name of that the control tower.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: If it's unmanned. Then you have air.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Traffics called Tracon, which interestingly is a private organizations as
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: rated by the FAA and uses radar technology.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Old technology.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That's the other thing is that we that is in
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the United States, we have a technology that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Came in in the sixties.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Now, one thing that the federal government did is they
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: did pay a company to revamp the entire air traffic
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: control system, and the company screwed it up. It got
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: even worse. So are they making a move? If you're
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: going to fly, let me make a suggestion. If you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: have to fly from here to San Francisco, for example,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: instead of using a Hollywood Burbank, I would suggest flying
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: out of Stuttguard, Germany. They have very good technology. They
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: know what they're doing.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: You know what the median salary is for an air
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: traffic controller, I do not it's approximately about one hundred
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and forty five thousand dollars. And that's not enough, right,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: It can be depending on you know, experience and stuff
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Well, the training is years, literally years, because it is
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a job that is number one, very technical, very difficult
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: But the lives that are on the line. All right now, I.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Want to share with you what's going on with the shutdown,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and it all is a predicator on healthcare demands. The
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Democrats won, that's it. The Republicans want a stop gap measure.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And this happens all the time, is continuing resolution, which
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: says we can't agree on a bunch of stuff, but
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: we'll negotiate later, and in the meantime, let's pass the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: measure that allows the government to keep on functioning.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Because, as I talked to, as.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I spoke in my last segment, air traffic control, for example,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: among many others, are forced to work by law and
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: are not getting paid. And so the Republicans are saying,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: we always pass one of these and we're not asking
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: for anything more or not negotiating additional bills or amendments.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: We just leave it exactly alone the way it is
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: for another month, another two months till the end of November,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats say no, no, no, we're not going
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to cross that line anymore. We are going to have
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the extension of the health care healthcare demands. Now, the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Republicans are cutting healthcare.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But it depends on how you perceive cutting.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Let's say you get a raise temporary rays because of
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: whatever situation, temporary situation.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: In this case, it was COVID.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And then your boss kicks it back and says, you
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: know what, We're going to.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Go back to where we were.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Well, you're well, your wages are being cut, aren't they
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And your boss says, no, they're not being cut. We're
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: just not going to keep the money being paid. We
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: told you it was temporary, and temporary is now over.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: That's what's going on here. The problem is that temporary
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: allowed tens of millions of low income, middle income workers
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to afford insurance under Obamacare. They now have insurance because
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: of the extension, because of the added but COVID regulations
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that allowed them to have it, which the government paid
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for subsidized.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And here is the difference.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: The Republicans want to cut it all or cut a
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: lot of it, and the Democrats are saying, you can't
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: cut it because so many people are now going to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: be uninsured. Again, this also has to medicate. We're talking
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: tens of millions of people. I mean, we're seventy million
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: people are going to be affected somehow or another, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: tens of millions are either their insurance is going to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: double or they're simply not going to be able to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: afford insurance at all. And the Democrats are saying, this
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna happen. And either you keep those extensions going
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: because so many people desperately needed, or we're not going
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to vote the budget in that's all, We're not going
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to have a budget, and the government shuts down. And
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: there is a philosophical difference, and it really is a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: philosophical difference.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration wants to.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Pour money into the border protection and into the military,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: and does not want to pour money into social programs.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't believe in social programs. Why because of waste,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: because of fraud. By the way, I want to make
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a point, there is no such thing as waste or
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: fraud in the military.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exist.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: The military is clean of waste, and fraud and immigration.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: There is no fraud or waste at all. It's only
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: in the social programs that exist. The philosophical difference is
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that the government should not support people who need money
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and need help, or should limit the amount of money
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: that goes to these people. And it is a big
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: one because we're talking about well the cuts, well the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: cuts or the lack of the extension is going to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: be about a trillion dollars over the next ten years.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And that bill passed by the way, the Tax and
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Spending bill, which cut everything past this summer under the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: big beautiful bill, and it went through there, and so
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you've got the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Ten million additional
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Merrick will become uninsured in the next decade, between Medicaid
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and other healthcare programs, the Democrats insisting on an extension
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: of those programs, the money that was paid, the subsidies
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that were put in during COVID, And so which way
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: is it going to go, Who's going to win, who's
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: going to lose? Right now, no one is compromising. Compromise
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't exist anymore in this government.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And the real.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Issue, the political issue, because that's all everybody cares about, Now, frankly,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that's the bottom line.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Who's going to be blamed for it?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Now, up to this point, the Republican's been blamed for it,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and it costs them political points. The longest shutdown of
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the government in the history of the United States happened
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: during Donald Trump's first tenure thirty five days. We'll see
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: what happens this time around as to who gets blamed.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And the Democrats are saying, you have no ho to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the Republicans, you have no heart. Do these people deserve
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: medical care? Do they deserve subsidize insurance? And the Republicans
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: are saying basically no. And then the Republicans are saying,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: don't we have to keep the government going? How do
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you have these people working and not get paid those
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: that are never going to get paid. The President is
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: talking about he has to furlough jobs and I mean
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: literally just lay him off. Which way is it going
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to go? Well, what's more important? And now it's a
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: question of your philosophical view on this. Frankly, I think
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: that it is more important to have someone insured than
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it is the border issue, because I don't think let's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: say I don't have insurance, is my job being taken
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: away by an illegal alien.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Not really. I don't know that many people have lost
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: their jobs.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: If I can't get insurance, that affects me big time.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. It just keeps on going.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to hear something about the Insurrection Act
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and it's just a weird It's not weird, but it
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: is part of the US government and it was put
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: into place in seventeen ninety two, just when the US
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: was created. And it has to do with if there
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: is an open rebellion against the United States, the President
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: has the right to invoke the Insurrection.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Act if there is, you know, a.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Well insurrection. I'm thinking of how else to describe it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I have an over trying a group of people trying
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: to overturn the government.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Riots.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Now, it has been used thirty times by a president,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: but you it is used and virtually every time asked for.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: By a governor or a mayor.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Last time was in nineteen ninety two when the president
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: that's HWHW. Bush number one was asked to call in
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: federal troops in Los Angeles because of the Rodney King riots.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Those were riots, I mean, that was No one argued
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: that that wasn't legitimate. Well, here's what the president is doing,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and nobody Well, of course, you know, it's no surprise.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't think any other president would consider using
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the Insurrection Act to deploy the military if the courts
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: prevent him from deploying the National Guard to protect federal
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: buildings and conduct law enforcement operations. So he has to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: first declare, and he is considering doing that. That's happening
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: in Portland, what's happening in Chicago, what's happening in la
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: a full blown rebellion.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Against the United States.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Stephen Miller, white House Deputy Chief of Staff, who is
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the author of a lot of this stuff, says that
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: it's illegal insurrection when the ruling stifle the White House agenda.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: The insurrection is.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: The courts that in fact are rebelling against the government
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: of United States, against the Constitution. Here's the problem in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: terms of what we're experiencing. If you are against the administration,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: you are against the Constitution. This administration does not interpret
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the Constitution. This administration is the Constitution. We are the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Constitution of the United States. Therefore, if you go against us,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: even saying something against us or for God forbid, you
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: have demonstrations and they're out of control, and local law
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: enforcement says, we can handle it. The governor says we
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: can handle it, and the President said no, he declares
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: an insurrection and therefore brings in the troops.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It is a tough one. And then of course it'll
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: go to court.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: And the position that the administration is taking is an
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: insurrection is what it's defined as. Whatever the President says
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: it is. If the President says it, it must be so.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: And under constitutional authority, remember seventeen ninety two, the president
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: has the right to then bring in federal troops and
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: he decides, you know, I mean theoretically, Well, here's what
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Portland is saying.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: The chief, the police chief of Portland is saying.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: This quote, insurrection is one city block, that's what's going
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: on here. And the President says, no, it's not. It's Portland,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: which is a hell hole. Portland is on fire. Well,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: he's describing Portland like Los Angeles during the Watts riots,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: during the Rodney King riots, where there is where there
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: were thousands of people out there all over the city
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: and the city was burning.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody argued against that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And so there's a federal judge, And this one is
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: absolute hilarious.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I want to end with this.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: The federal judge who put a halt on it temporarily,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: who say you can't go into Portland. You have to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: stop at this point, although they're on their way, you
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: can't do it, is.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Not a radical left wing judge.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Usually judges that rule against the administration are radical left
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: wing judges who.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Should be impeached.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: This one is simply a judge who has lost her way.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: And you know why she's a judge who has lost
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: her way because she's.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: A Trump appointee.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: And you can't have a Trump appointee a radical left
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: wing judge, because how does the president put into place
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: a radical left wing judge? So she just lost her way.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: It's pretty scary stuff. Now, is he going to do
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: what he's considering doing it? He said he's considering. If
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the courts go against him, then he says he will. Well,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: he says he may. I think he will, that's my opinion.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: But there's no question that the president truly believes that
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: insurrection is defined by what he says it is.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: That's it. He defines what the constitution is.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: And as I said, bottom line is President Trump believes
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I am the Constitution of the United States. My job
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: is not to enforce the law. My job is to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: enforce what I think. The law is what I believe,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: and if you are against me, then you are violating
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the Constitution. January sixth, rioters that was not a riot.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Can't use the word riot. You have to use the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: word patriots. In overrunning the capital, the word is patriots.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: And of course everybody was pardoned, you know, I mean,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that's the world we live in, and I'm having a
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously a lot.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Of us having a tough time, and a lot of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: us aren't.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of people who think that everything
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the president is doing is absolutely wonderful and believe that
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: he is the constitution that he embodies America. And those
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: of us who have some real problems, well, we're traders. Okay.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Now we're going to get something really serious. And we've
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: been talking about insurrection and civil rights, but now we're
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: going to get really serious.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Parking.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: If you live in the city of Los Angeles, which
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I used to but I'm still there all the time, parking,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: we're talking about meter parking, We're talking about the money
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you have to spend It used to be you put
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: quarters in into meters and that would give you an
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: hour quite a while ago, and I always ran out
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: of quarters because, as I said this morning, I always
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: used my quarters up at strip clubs, so I never
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: had any. And then they went to credit cards, which
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: is very easy to do, and it is why because
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: it's expensive. Now, well, the metered spaces, the prices haven't
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: gone up in more than a decade, so prices are
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: going up fifty cents for the most of the city's
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: thirty five thousand spaces right now, the prices are a
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: dollar to eight fifty per hour.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: That one I don't understand.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: My dollar goes up to a buck fifty, and I
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: think eight to fifty goes up to nine dollars an hour,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: And why are they doing that. It's a revenue call.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: That's actually more than a revenue call. Because here is
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the argument that's being made by the La City Transportation.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: It's a win win situation.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: It gets more people moving around, it's more expensive, so
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you're quicker to get in and out.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: The businesses love it, and so you know it's a
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: good thing, right. I don't quite understand that.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I do find a business person I understand it, but
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: for the most part, you know, it's it's a straight
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: revenue call. The city's going to get another fifteen million dollars.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Have you seen a meter maid any place in the
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: last bunch of years. I have not seen one of
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: those meter maids. I have not. They still go around
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: those little carts that they have. Amy you've just nodded
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: you've seen meter maids. Yeah, they're not necessarily in the
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: little carts, so they have little cars.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And it's their parting enforcement. They're everywhere. Are they all
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: named Rita? I don't know. I don't stop to ask.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, well, yeah, no kidding. Oh. Here's an interesting
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: factoid which I didn't know until I started looking at this,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: and that is if you, let's say you have a
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: few minutes left and someone is looking for the parking
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: spot and you put in some money, uh, to give
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: them some extra time, do you know that's illegal? You
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: are not allowed to put in money to have someone
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: else take your spot. They have to pay for themselves.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Got stupid laws, right, you can't have a car full
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: of pickles on Sunday. You know, those laws that were
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: passed at the turn of the last century just crazy stuff. Okay,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: coming up, it's Rich Demurrow, and then a couple of
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: stories we I want to share with you your brain or
• 23:00
