0:44
Speaker 3: the concert. These are lawyers, judges, people in the legal
0:49
Speaker 3: profession that are actually involved in this orchestra. And these
0:53
Speaker 3: are world class musicians, by the way, who actually decided
0:56
Speaker 3: they were going to make a living practicing law as
0:58
Speaker 3: opposed to being a musician. And so it is a
1:02
Speaker 3: it's a fun concert. I'm am seeing it. Gary Green,
1:06
Speaker 3: a working lawyer, is the founder and conductor. And there
1:11
Speaker 3: is a guy one man who sings, Michael Maguire, the
1:16
Speaker 3: only lawyer who's won a Tony Award. Nice combination. Huh.
1:23
Speaker 3: As he wins a case against you, he sings, boy,
1:27
Speaker 3: what a voice. So anyway, it's a great, great night.
1:29
Speaker 3: And also there is a chorus legal voices, and so
1:35
Speaker 3: join up.
1:35
Speaker 2: And here's what you do.
1:37
Speaker 3: Concert tickets go from twenty dollars to one hundred and
1:39
Speaker 3: thirty five, half of which is deductible, and go to
1:43
Speaker 3: La Lawyersphil dot org. That's La Lawyers Phil as in
1:48
Speaker 3: Philharmonic La Lawyersphil dot org. And I hope to see
1:52
Speaker 3: you there because it is great fun. Okay, Now we
1:55
Speaker 3: have the November election coming down in California. Has two people,
2:00
Speaker 3: the top two vote getters in the primary go to
2:03
Speaker 3: the general election.
2:03
Speaker 2: Notwithstanding the parties.
2:05
Speaker 3: It can be two Democrats, it can be two Republicans,
2:08
Speaker 3: and in this case it is a Republican and a Democrat,
2:12
Speaker 3: which is kind of fun.
2:14
Speaker 2: Xavier Xavier Bssera is Xavier.
2:20
Speaker 3: I don't know. I always mispronounced. That kind of throws
2:23
Speaker 3: you off, it really does anyway. Javier Bassara, he is
2:28
Speaker 3: an old politico and he was in the Biden administration. Also,
2:31
Speaker 3: as of right now, he has fifty two percent versus
2:35
Speaker 3: thirty one percent over Republican Steve Hilton. Of the two,
2:40
Speaker 3: Steve Hilton is by far the most interesting. And because
2:44
Speaker 3: we have partisanship big time, it's going to be a
2:47
Speaker 3: classic partisan battle. And Democrats overwhelmingly back Bessera, Republicans overwhelmingly
2:55
Speaker 3: back Hilton. That why, well, a couple of a couple
2:59
Speaker 3: of reasons. First of all, Hilton's endorsement from President Trump,
3:04
Speaker 3: who does it's not particularly impressive in the state of
3:08
Speaker 3: California because Democrats are way way more were way way
3:16
Speaker 3: more percentage wise than Republicans. And just and let me
3:21
Speaker 3: give you an idea of this. You've got the vast
3:25
Speaker 3: majority eighty something percent or ninety percent of Democrats backing Besserah,
3:31
Speaker 3: the same thing I think in the eighties are backing Hilton.
3:33
Speaker 3: So it's a Republican against Democrat. And look at how
3:36
Speaker 3: many Democratic voters registered voters there are versus Republicans. So
3:43
Speaker 3: what you have is the typical race. Now, a couple
3:45
Speaker 3: of things that make Hilton so interesting. The guy is
3:48
Speaker 3: a brit Or, was a brit and he was involved
3:52
Speaker 3: in high end British politics, advisor to David Cameron and
3:57
Speaker 3: helped get him elected. And then came the United S
4:00
Speaker 3: s eight fourteen years ago and entered the United States,
4:04
Speaker 3: in this case California politics as well as being an entrepreneur.
4:07
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got an interesting background and he speaks
4:09
Speaker 3: with a British accent. And are we gonna have a
4:12
Speaker 3: governor that speaks with a British accent what we had
4:14
Speaker 3: when they spoke with a German accent with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
4:18
Speaker 2: Welcome to California.
4:20
Speaker 3: And Hilton is a true, tried and true believer in
4:25
Speaker 3: being a US citizen in a Californian. He gave up
4:28
Speaker 3: his British citizenship when he became an American citizen, and
4:32
Speaker 3: he didn't have to do that. Today, dual citizenship is allowed.
4:36
Speaker 3: For example, I have a dual citizenship. My parents didn't
4:41
Speaker 3: because when they came to the United States in the fifties,
4:44
Speaker 3: they didn't have to give up or they had to
4:46
Speaker 3: give up their citizenship.
4:48
Speaker 2: So what is the big deal?
4:51
Speaker 3: Let's say the biggest deal not only the registered Democrats
4:55
Speaker 3: versus registered Republicans, which the Democrats totally out to number
5:01
Speaker 3: the Republicans in this state, but also President Trump's endorsement
5:07
Speaker 3: in the primaries. President Trump's endorsement is not only influential.
5:13
Speaker 3: It is wildly influential. And President Trump's endorsement in many
5:18
Speaker 3: cases guarantees the nomination, and he got rid of and
5:24
Speaker 3: was able to do so in the primary. Primaried out,
5:27
Speaker 3: for example, two senators or a senator and a representative
5:32
Speaker 3: who had been there for decades, who, but for the
5:35
Speaker 3: President's endorsement of the other person, would have easily won
5:39
Speaker 3: the election. Won the primary. President Trump has enormous influence
5:45
Speaker 3: within his party. That's for the primaries. Now let's go
5:49
Speaker 3: to the general. It's the other way around. The fact
5:54
Speaker 3: that Hilton got President Trump's endorsement is going to kill him,
6:01
Speaker 3: and you're going to see him distance himself.
6:03
Speaker 2: He has to.
6:03
Speaker 3: He has no choice if he has any chance of winning,
6:06
Speaker 3: which he doesn't. But all things being equal, when you
6:10
Speaker 3: look at any kind of traditional election here, and there's
6:14
Speaker 3: a lot of traditional election moves that we're looking at,
6:17
Speaker 3: certainly partisanship, Republican versus Democrat. And I've explained the difference
6:22
Speaker 3: in the electorate. In the registered voters, Trump is as
6:26
Speaker 3: unpopular a president as they come in the state of California,
6:31
Speaker 3: and there are people that would go the other way
6:33
Speaker 3: just because of the endorsement of Trump. That's how much
6:37
Speaker 3: he has hated among Californias. So that's the big one.
6:41
Speaker 3: I think also is the general California versus the Republican
6:47
Speaker 3: conservative thinking. I mean, we're the most liberal state in
6:50
Speaker 3: the Union, and we're number one in many ways social programs.
6:55
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of him. The most tax state in
6:58
Speaker 3: the United States. I'm most that among the worst education
7:03
Speaker 3: in the United States. I'm very proud of that. Number
7:05
Speaker 3: one medical care right there at the bottom. I'm very
7:08
Speaker 3: proud of that, although they're all there at the bottom.
7:12
Speaker 3: That we spend more money than any other state for
7:15
Speaker 3: education per student, public education, and we're near the bottom
7:21
Speaker 3: number one. That's California in many ways. But I'll tell
7:25
Speaker 3: you it is liberal, liberal liberal. Our legislature, we have
7:30
Speaker 3: a super majority in California. Democrats have a super majority.
7:34
Speaker 3: There's no such thing as a veto in California. And
7:39
Speaker 3: so when you have a democratic assemble, a Democratic Senate,
7:43
Speaker 3: a democratic governor, guess what you get. Yep, if it
7:48
Speaker 3: walks like a duck and it talks like a duck,
7:53
Speaker 3: you've got.
7:53
Speaker 2: A very unusual duck on your hands.
7:56
Speaker 3: It becomes the AFLAC duck who actually talks, and that
8:01
Speaker 3: made absolutely no sense at all, because I am the
8:06
Speaker 3: maven of political analysis. All right, coming up, immigration issue.
8:12
Speaker 3: It is all over the world now stopping immigration. I
8:14
Speaker 3: mean it's not just the United States. This is a
8:16
Speaker 3: worldwide phenomena. Let me tell you what Switzerland is proposing.
8:21
Speaker 3: And no other country has come this far. And I'll
8:24
Speaker 3: explain that coming up right here on KFI. KFI am
8:29
Speaker 3: six forty bill handle. It is a Friday morning. A
8:33
Speaker 3: lot going on today. The spacexipo released today. They figure
8:38
Speaker 3: the company will be worth one point seven seven trillion dollars,
8:41
Speaker 3: making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. And also the
8:45
Speaker 3: World Cup in America at SOFI actually opens today where
8:50
Speaker 3: the US is playing Paraguay or Paragay, Paragays, Paraguays. There's
8:57
Speaker 3: two gay guys who play soccer against the American team.
9:03
Speaker 3: I get a little confused as to who's actually playing. Okay,
9:07
Speaker 3: a word or two about immigration. And if you haven't noticed,
9:10
Speaker 3: oh boy, have you noticed that governments around the world
9:15
Speaker 3: have turned right wing. And one of the things about
9:18
Speaker 3: the right wing philosophy is immigration. That governments are also
9:23
Speaker 3: saying too many people are coming into this country, and
9:26
Speaker 3: we've been there too, but.
9:27
Speaker 2: Also Italy and Switzerland.
9:30
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Switzerland has this proposal that
9:32
Speaker 3: no other country has gone forward. So because of rising
9:36
Speaker 3: living cost disillusion by unfulfilled economic and social promises. Sounds
9:41
Speaker 3: like the US, doesn't it. The Swiss are literally at
9:46
Speaker 3: the top of the heap of industrialized countries questioning the
9:49
Speaker 3: benefits of immigration. Even the highly skilled workers that are
9:54
Speaker 3: coming in. Ours are the H one B visa folks,
9:58
Speaker 3: and on Saturday or Sunday they're going to vote a
10:00
Speaker 3: referendum to put a hard ceiling on the population. Since
10:07
Speaker 3: two thousand, the number of foreign born residents have jumped
10:10
Speaker 3: from around one in five to one in three. In Zug,
10:17
Speaker 3: which is a capital of Canton, which is basically a state,
10:22
Speaker 3: the finance minister spent years rolling out the red carpet
10:25
Speaker 3: for highly skilled foreigners. As we did well, they now
10:29
Speaker 3: fill jobs, homes, public service or public tax office. And
10:34
Speaker 3: because they're coming in, they create a demand for even
10:37
Speaker 3: more workers to serve a bigger population. So it's the
10:41
Speaker 3: no to a number to number ten Switzerland or no
10:45
Speaker 3: to a number ten ten million. Sorry about that, Yeah,
10:49
Speaker 3: let me rephrase no to a ten million Switzerland, and
10:54
Speaker 3: this is from the right wing government that's now in place.
10:57
Speaker 3: It aims to limit the permanent resident population, including both
11:02
Speaker 3: foreign nationals and Swiss citizens, to below ten million inhabitants
11:09
Speaker 3: of Switzerland until twenty twenty five. Right now it's nine
11:13
Speaker 3: point one million. If it hits ten million, then population
11:19
Speaker 3: stops right there. If it hits ten million, enter the
11:25
Speaker 3: concept of soilent Green, which not only reduces the population,
11:30
Speaker 3: but it helps with the food processing. By the way,
11:33
Speaker 3: if you haven't seen Soilent Green, it's a fun movie
11:36
Speaker 3: where people are turned into food, just to let you know.
11:40
Speaker 3: And the vote is expected to be really close. I mean,
11:44
Speaker 3: this is no joke. And so it has to do
11:47
Speaker 3: with this whole philosophy of bringing in foreigners. Now, most
11:51
Speaker 3: of this is the highly skilled, highly paid foreigners, usually
11:55
Speaker 3: in the tech world, where there aren't enough Americans to
11:59
Speaker 3: take those jobs.
12:02
Speaker 2: And this is the H ONEB visa.
12:04
Speaker 3: The US under Trump is really limiting those coming in,
12:09
Speaker 3: even to the point where the government put a one
12:12
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars fee on applications. Well that was overturned
12:15
Speaker 3: by the court, but it's still several thousand, four or
12:18
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars to bring one of these techno experts in.
12:23
Speaker 3: Now the tech companies are saying, this is really going
12:25
Speaker 3: to screw us up because we really don't have this
12:28
Speaker 3: skills that these folks have. I mean, this is pretty
12:31
Speaker 3: rarefied air. We're talking top of the heap kind of stuff,
12:35
Speaker 3: not just general workers. And so what the Trump administration
12:39
Speaker 3: is doing is limiting the number of workers coming in,
12:41
Speaker 3: make it more difficult, try to make it more expensive,
12:45
Speaker 3: say no, deny applications, deny asylum. As you know, and
12:50
Speaker 3: the philosophy here is we don't want you if you're
12:53
Speaker 3: a furner. We're not interested in having you come to
12:56
Speaker 3: the United States under any circumstances.
12:59
Speaker 2: Well, you got Switzerland.
13:01
Speaker 3: That's taking it to another level, saying we're going to
13:04
Speaker 3: cap our population. Now, they can't cap Swiss citizens because
13:09
Speaker 3: anybody born in Switzerland, of course, is a citizen. Although
13:13
Speaker 3: there are countries that don't even buy that America does. Right,
13:18
Speaker 3: born in America, there's a citizen. Companies like countries like Kuwait,
13:23
Speaker 3: for example, they don't care born there, not born there,
13:27
Speaker 3: parents legal, not legal the United States. Is the argument
13:31
Speaker 3: that Trump is using is that anybody born of illegal
13:37
Speaker 3: immigrants coming into this country is not a citizen, and
13:40
Speaker 3: that's going to go to the Supreme Court. Actually is
13:42
Speaker 3: at the Supreme Court. But this is brand new with Switzerland,
13:46
Speaker 3: and it's a way of dealing with it that I
13:48
Speaker 3: think industrialized countries that are also dealing around the world
13:52
Speaker 3: with immigrants is they're going to look at it limit
13:58
Speaker 3: the population. And how do you do that, Well, you
14:02
Speaker 3: limit the number of people coming in. And even with
14:07
Speaker 3: the highly skilled, the law says that you first have
14:11
Speaker 3: to look to Americans to do those jobs. And if
14:14
Speaker 3: you can't find Americans to do those jobs, then you
14:18
Speaker 3: can go out of country and bring in foreign experts,
14:22
Speaker 3: actually foreign highly skilled individuals. And as I said, the
14:27
Speaker 3: tech companies are very upset about this proposal because they
14:31
Speaker 3: can't find Americans, and the administration in those that are
14:36
Speaker 3: in favor of limiting those people coming in saying there
14:39
Speaker 3: are plenty of Americans who can do those jobs. Well,
14:42
Speaker 3: if that's true, then why bring in foreigners. Well, here's
14:46
Speaker 3: the argument, because not only do they have people coming
14:51
Speaker 3: in we have our pick, but they charge us a
14:53
Speaker 3: lot less money. We can hire them for less money.
14:56
Speaker 3: And immigration is becoming such a huge issue because the
14:59
Speaker 3: number of immigrants going into industrialized worlds has exploded. It
15:05
Speaker 3: has become a real issue. All right, coming up, why
15:10
Speaker 3: we've never had a world class men's soccer star or
15:14
Speaker 3: world class team, and there is a reason for that,
15:17
Speaker 3: and I'll explain right after this.
15:21
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
15:25
Speaker 2: six forty KFI AM six forty Bill Handle. Good morning, everybody.
15:31
Speaker 2: It is a Friday boy. A lot going on today.
15:34
Speaker 3: The IPO aditial public offering of say Sex comes out
15:38
Speaker 3: today and they're releasing it at one hundred and thirty
15:42
Speaker 3: five dollars per share.
15:45
Speaker 2: That is what it's.
15:46
Speaker 3: Being released that we'll see what happens up down. That's
15:50
Speaker 3: going to be news today. Seventy five billion dollars is
15:53
Speaker 3: going to be offered to the public, but not really
15:56
Speaker 3: the public is going to be institutional investors first. And
15:59
Speaker 3: also so today is the first day of the American
16:04
Speaker 3: involvement in the World Cup where the US is playing Paraguay. Now,
16:09
Speaker 3: the US soccer, our whole environment is such that we've
16:15
Speaker 3: never really produced a world class team.
16:17
Speaker 2: And look how many people we have. You know, we
16:20
Speaker 2: have three hundred and forty million Americans.
16:22
Speaker 3: And you think that with all the kids now playing soccer,
16:26
Speaker 3: soccer has become a big deal. I mean it used
16:29
Speaker 3: to be where what's the soccer? Well that changed about
16:32
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five years ago. But so we have a
16:36
Speaker 3: generation of kids that are playing soccer. Why no world
16:39
Speaker 3: class team? Why no world class superstars?
16:44
Speaker 2: How come?
16:46
Speaker 3: I mean, we have plenty of teams, we have plenty
16:49
Speaker 3: of money that are going to the teams. We we've
16:54
Speaker 3: reached a point where we have soccer moms, not baseball moms,
16:59
Speaker 3: not football mom, soccer moms because the kids all are
17:03
Speaker 3: playing soccer. So there is a convention, American Soccer Convention,
17:10
Speaker 3: and it's the largest convention that we have. And here's
17:14
Speaker 3: what is buzzing around. The US has never produced a
17:19
Speaker 3: world class team. The US has never produced a world
17:23
Speaker 3: class player. And why well, yeah, if you go there,
17:30
Speaker 3: they are philosophies, methodologies that are being talked about, human
17:34
Speaker 3: player development pathways, pyramids, the cost of playing soccer in America,
17:40
Speaker 3: and just a bunch of ills. They're trying to figure out, Well,
17:46
Speaker 3: here is the difference, and it's a big difference. And
17:49
Speaker 3: that has to do with one word. One word that
17:54
Speaker 3: describes all of the ills of soccer in the United States,
17:59
Speaker 3: which were the only company calls it soccer because if
18:02
Speaker 3: you think about it, they call it football around the
18:06
Speaker 3: world because you play with your feet, not with your hands.
18:13
Speaker 2: Makes sense.
18:14
Speaker 3: But we already have a football, and it's a football,
18:18
Speaker 3: even though it's not particularly feet oriented. Okay, so back
18:23
Speaker 3: to the concept of culture. The reason that other countries
18:29
Speaker 3: of the world have world class players and world class
18:34
Speaker 3: teams is because of the fact that kids, basically from
18:40
Speaker 3: the time they're toddlers, are playing soccer in these other countries.
18:46
Speaker 3: They don't play American football, they don't play basketball, they
18:48
Speaker 3: don't play baseball.
18:50
Speaker 2: They play soccer.
18:52
Speaker 3: And one of the reasons are that it's not expensive
18:55
Speaker 3: to play soccer as a kid. It's like stick baseball
18:59
Speaker 3: accepted stick football soccer with a ball.
19:04
Speaker 2: It's all you need one ball and now you have
19:07
Speaker 2: a game. Uh.
19:09
Speaker 3: You don't do that with football, particularly because it's just
19:13
Speaker 3: not And and this has to also do with poor communities,
19:15
Speaker 3: the inner city.
19:17
Speaker 2: Uh. And uh, I'm gonna put a few pieces together here.
19:21
Speaker 4: Uh.
19:21
Speaker 2: Why do Americans have.
19:26
Speaker 3: Basketball teams that know nobody in the world can touch
19:29
Speaker 3: because kids start playing basketball at an insanely early age,
19:34
Speaker 3: especially in the inner city. We don't uh, the inner
19:38
Speaker 3: city does not produce world class lacrosse players for example, uh. Basketball, yes,
19:46
Speaker 3: even baseball to some extent, but not soccer.
19:49
Speaker 2: It's just not part of our culture.
19:51
Speaker 3: So if you look at the countries that have these
19:54
Speaker 3: world class players, superstars, which by the way, these guys
19:58
Speaker 3: make hundreds of millions of do not just tens of
20:01
Speaker 3: millions of dollars, hundreds of millions dollars each because basically
20:06
Speaker 3: the entire rest of the world plays soccer, plays their football,
20:11
Speaker 3: and so it's not unusual. For example, the finals of
20:15
Speaker 3: the FIFA Games probably have a billion people that are
20:18
Speaker 3: going to be watching it around the world. And so
20:21
Speaker 3: it comes up from the time when these kids are
20:24
Speaker 3: literally kids. They're playing from an age which is so small.
20:31
Speaker 3: We don't do that here. We don't do that. They
20:35
Speaker 3: don't play much football in the inner city. They don't
20:39
Speaker 3: play a whole lot of baseball. They do play basketball,
20:46
Speaker 3: and that comes from an early age. And around the
20:48
Speaker 3: world they play soccer and they just grow up with it.
20:51
Speaker 3: It's part and partial of their very culture, which is
20:56
Speaker 3: why you have a lot of poor people making it.
20:59
Speaker 2: As world players.
21:02
Speaker 3: One of the greatest players in the world, Pele, who
21:05
Speaker 3: was born right outside of San Paulo where I was born,
21:09
Speaker 3: in a town called Santos, which is the port city
21:12
Speaker 3: of Sampolo. Basically he started playing when he was three
21:16
Speaker 3: years old and became probably one of the greatest players
21:21
Speaker 3: in the world. And then you have Ronaldo and you
21:23
Speaker 3: have Messi who are Argentinian, and the Argentinian and Spanish
21:32
Speaker 3: for example. These guys are unbelievable. I'll tell you there's
21:36
Speaker 3: a commonality across the board. Every single one of them
21:41
Speaker 3: started virtually as a baby playing soccer.
21:47
Speaker 2: And we don't do that.
21:48
Speaker 3: And until we get that, until we get to the
21:51
Speaker 3: point where soccer becomes our national sport, we're not going
21:56
Speaker 3: to see the kind of players, the kind of teams.
22:00
Speaker 2: That's it.
22:00
Speaker 3: We have to adopt a more consistent soccer culture. Kids
22:04
Speaker 3: don't really start soccer until they're older, and then you
22:08
Speaker 3: have the coaches and then they're taught skills.
22:11
Speaker 2: But they're tought skills at age eight ten.
22:14
Speaker 3: And if you talk to the soccer players by the
22:16
Speaker 3: time or the soccer coaches and experts by the time
22:20
Speaker 3: you're ten, twelve, fourteen, even eight years old. If you
22:24
Speaker 3: don't have the skills that have already been developed to learn,
22:28
Speaker 3: to be good in soccer is very complicated, very difficult,
22:34
Speaker 3: and you effectively need the kind of skills that come
22:37
Speaker 3: into play.
22:38
Speaker 2: The analogy if you look at Formula one.
22:41
Speaker 3: Drivers, which by the way, very few Formula one drivers
22:46
Speaker 3: come out of the inner city, where do they start.
22:51
Speaker 3: They all start at go kart level, every one of them,
22:58
Speaker 3: and then they move up. No one comes in at
23:00
Speaker 3: ten or twelve, no one comes in at eighteen. So
23:05
Speaker 3: the skill level comes early, the skill level that comes
23:10
Speaker 3: by playing hours and hours and hours. Malcolm Gladwell talks
23:14
Speaker 3: about ten thousand steps. These guys are one hundred thousand steps,
23:19
Speaker 3: and by the time they're in any kind of a
23:22
Speaker 3: minor league, they're already there, which is why you see
23:29
Speaker 3: so many eighteen year olds be professionals. Sixteen year olds
23:32
Speaker 3: are drafted into professional leagues.
23:36
Speaker 2: And they play.
23:37
Speaker 3: Another thing that happens in soccer around the world is
23:41
Speaker 3: you have teenagers and they practice against professional players. That
23:48
Speaker 3: is common and that certainly doesn't happen in any sport here.
23:53
Speaker 3: And so until we turn into a soccer culture, which
23:56
Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to I think it's going
23:58
Speaker 3: to be a long long time until we become a
24:02
Speaker 3: soccer culture. We're not going to have an easy time.
24:06
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. I mean, our team has gotten better,
24:09
Speaker 3: but even to the point where Pelee the greatest, one
24:13
Speaker 3: of the greatest players out of Brazil. They brought him
24:16
Speaker 3: into New York to begin the American Soccer League for
24:21
Speaker 3: the New York Cosmos and it didn't last very long.
24:26
Speaker 3: So be prepared for the United States once again not
24:30
Speaker 3: being anywhere near where we should be with a population
24:35
Speaker 3: that is so high and so many, so great, and
24:37
Speaker 3: so many millions of people that are playing.
24:40
Speaker 2: Okay, coming up, micro shifting. What is that about? It
24:49
Speaker 2: is how you work?
24:51
Speaker 4: No, you're doing the college student thing.
24:53
Speaker 2: Next? Oh am, I really yep?
24:59
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry. I looked at the wrong time.
25:02
Speaker 2: Oh wow, usually that's me machine screw. Oh calendar, this one,
25:07
Speaker 2: Oh calendar made a mistake, shell cube blue. This one
25:13
Speaker 2: that never happens. That's why I want you to calendar it.
25:18
Speaker 3: Okay, micro shifting and Michelle will explain to you exactly
25:22
Speaker 3: what micro shifting is when we come back KF I
25:26
Speaker 3: am six forty bill handle here. It is a Friday morning,
25:32
Speaker 3: June twelfth. Boy, what a Friday too. So much is
25:35
Speaker 3: going on. The IPO initial public offering of SpaceX is
25:40
Speaker 3: out today. Initial prices. It opens one hundred and thirty
25:44
Speaker 3: five dollars per share. We'll see what happens throughout the day.
25:48
Speaker 3: Is going to open, is it going to go higher lower?
25:50
Speaker 3: I mean, we don't know at this point, but it's
25:53
Speaker 3: going to make a certainly Musk the first the world's
25:57
Speaker 3: first trillionaire because he owns fifty percent of this puppy. Also,
26:01
Speaker 3: the first game of the World Cup here in the
26:04
Speaker 3: United States today at Sofi ask handle anything comes in
26:09
Speaker 3: at eight thirty and the war is over again. Now,
26:16
Speaker 3: the war in Iran has been over several times in
26:19
Speaker 3: the last several weeks. A matter of fact, I believe
26:22
Speaker 3: the war was over the first hour or two to
26:26
Speaker 3: four weeks.
26:27
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be over.
26:29
Speaker 3: And as Marco Rubio said, the US controls the Strait
26:33
Speaker 3: of Hormuz, not Iran. Okay, And so the president is announced,
26:39
Speaker 3: we've come to terms, we have we've got the deal.
26:42
Speaker 3: The only people that sort of disagree are the Iranians
26:46
Speaker 3: that say, well, maybe we don't have a deal. So
26:48
Speaker 3: we'll see over the weekend what's going to happen. In
26:50
Speaker 3: the meantime, let me go into your workplace and a
26:56
Speaker 3: couple of things have changed dramatically over the years. First
27:00
Speaker 3: of all, it used to be I thought this was
27:02
Speaker 3: going to have legs and that is a shorter work week,
27:05
Speaker 3: longer hours, even with a forty hour work week, or
27:07
Speaker 3: actually it'd be thirty six.
27:10
Speaker 2: That no, it'll be forty.
27:11
Speaker 3: The police and the fire department do three days at
27:15
Speaker 3: twelve hours each, but the concept was four days at
27:19
Speaker 3: ten hours per day. And that a lot of people
27:23
Speaker 3: like that because first of all, absenteeism went way down,
27:26
Speaker 3: three day weekend, more productivity and never caught on for
27:31
Speaker 3: the most part. Now, how about remote learning. I mean
27:34
Speaker 3: during the pandemic that exploded, that caught on big time.
27:39
Speaker 3: And then there's all kinds of controversies about remote work,
27:43
Speaker 3: and that is is it better?
27:46
Speaker 2: Is it not? People like it, and the.
27:49
Speaker 3: Employers are going, well, you know, we're going to let
27:52
Speaker 3: people do it, but we want people back at the office.
27:54
Speaker 3: At the same time, it's a good thing for employers
27:57
Speaker 3: because if people are not back at the office, then
28:01
Speaker 3: you don't need as big a footprint for the office
28:04
Speaker 3: for people working there anyway, and so there's controversy. There's
28:09
Speaker 3: something else that is happening, and this came out result.
28:13
Speaker 3: It came out of remote working, and that is micro shifting. Now,
28:18
Speaker 3: micro shifting is about doing your work in different segments
28:23
Speaker 3: throughout the day. And the work experts are looking at
28:28
Speaker 3: this because the argument among micro shifters, and that is
28:32
Speaker 3: working a four hour shift or a five hour shift
28:35
Speaker 3: and then doing nothing and then doing your errands or
28:38
Speaker 3: relaxing or napping and coming back several hours later to
28:43
Speaker 3: finish up your workday. And the argument here in studies
28:47
Speaker 3: have shown this is the most productive time you have
28:50
Speaker 3: is the first few hours. I was talking to Michelle,
28:54
Speaker 3: and Michelle wakes up at the when she fills in
28:57
Speaker 3: what she is doing this week. Usually the rest of
29:00
Speaker 3: us have to wake up at the crack of the
29:02
Speaker 3: middle of the night. And so I said to her,
29:06
Speaker 3: I asked her, so at least you get to sleep
29:08
Speaker 3: in in starting Monday, and I said what time you
29:12
Speaker 3: normally wake up? She goes five five point fifteen, four fifteen,
29:17
Speaker 3: four fifteen, and you don't have to come to work
29:19
Speaker 3: until morning.
29:20
Speaker 2: And what was why would you do that?
29:23
Speaker 4: And you said, I, Well, it makes I get to
29:27
Speaker 4: work by five thirty, and it's just easier to get
29:29
Speaker 4: stuff done from earlier.
29:31
Speaker 2: In the day. That's the whole point of micro shifting.
29:34
Speaker 3: Now you don't micro shift because you get in earlier
29:37
Speaker 3: the day and you still put it in your twelve
29:38
Speaker 3: hour day.
29:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I work. I probably usually work normally like
29:42
Speaker 4: five thirty to two thirty, but then I go home
29:45
Speaker 4: and sometimes I do some short little shift at home. Okay,
29:48
Speaker 4: updating the website or whatever.
29:50
Speaker 3: All right, So now people that work an eight hour day,
29:53
Speaker 3: if you're not on salary here and they expect you
29:55
Speaker 3: to work twenty hours a day for minimal wage, because
29:59
Speaker 3: welcome to iHeart. The point is is that when you
30:02
Speaker 3: do shift work all of a sudden, not all of
30:06
Speaker 3: a sudden, but the productivity goes up. People like it
30:11
Speaker 3: because you can pick up your kids from schools, spend time,
30:15
Speaker 3: and then go back to work. A lot of people
30:19
Speaker 3: take the afternoon off and then go back and then
30:22
Speaker 3: spend time with the family in the evening, and that
30:25
Speaker 3: is actually getting legs. And now we're going to see
30:29
Speaker 3: this is anecdotal that it works so well for so
30:33
Speaker 3: many people. Now we're going to look at studies and
30:36
Speaker 3: they're going to look at productivity and that can be measured.
30:40
Speaker 3: They're going to look at worker satisfaction that can be measured,
30:45
Speaker 3: and they're going to see if it makes more sense.
30:49
Speaker 3: Now we have a fair amount of controversy after looking
30:53
Speaker 3: at what remote learning remote working does, and there's pros
30:58
Speaker 3: and cons, but remote working is now part and parcel
31:02
Speaker 3: of our lives, our employment lives. And we'll see what
31:06
Speaker 3: happens with shifts. I micro shift here. I have a
31:12
Speaker 3: full shift here. I work full time here at KFI
31:16
Speaker 3: three hours, and I also work in eight minute segments.
31:21
Speaker 3: So I micro shift eight minutes on, six minutes off, and.
31:25
Speaker 2: I do it for three hours. Yeah, don't you wish? Huh?
31:33
Speaker 2: Now it took life there?
31:34
Speaker 1: You got it?
31:35
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you it took me a long
31:37
Speaker 2: time to get here.
31:38
Speaker 3: If you look at when I was practicing law, there
31:41
Speaker 3: were eighty hour weeks.
31:43
Speaker 2: Sometimes it was I paid my dues.
31:46
Speaker 4: But you are also getting like four hundred dollars an hour.
31:49
Speaker 2: Oh a lawyer?
31:52
Speaker 3: Are you crazy? You think I'd worked for only four
31:54
Speaker 3: hundred dollars nuts? Okay, coming out California of students Michelle's
32:01
Speaker 3: topic are pushing back because why AI is so involved
32:09
Speaker 3: in papers and tests and cheating. We'll be back with that.
32:14
Speaker 3: I've got to go take a break. I'm sorry. I'll
32:17
Speaker 3: be back in a few minutes. KFI AM sixty.
