  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

  Speaker 1: six forty KFI AM six forty.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Bill Handle here Veterans Day, Tuesday, November eleventh, coming up
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: at seven fifty. Little handle history. The history of Veterans
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Day very interesting, to say the least. Now, as we
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: spoke yesterday, we knew that the vote to avert the shutdown,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to shut down the shutdown, the governmental shutdown was going
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to happen, and it did on a sixty to forty vote,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and he needed sixty votes to stop the shutdown, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the Republicans won out. The Democrats caved. A couple things
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that take away here. One of them is Chuck Schumer individually.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It is now being argued in the Senate. He has
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: lost control of the Democrats. It is time to get
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: him out as a leader. Okay, that's one argument, even
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to the point where running for office out of New York.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So that's one issue.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: The other issue is what happened, why the Democrats caved
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and why the Republicans and particularly Donald Trump won Why
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: did this happen? Well, this is we saw that those
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: lines at food banks were increasing. We saw that government
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: employees were not as they said. We don't have the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: money to pay our mortgage, to buy food because the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: government shut down because they weren't getting checks. And the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: philosophy of the Republicans and Donald Trump was very simple,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and that is, the Democrats are going to cave. All
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: we have to do is wait them out. The Republicans
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: got everything they wanted, exactly what was proposed by the Republicans,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and what.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Was the issue.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: The issue now is and was the extension of Obamacare,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and the extension of Obamacare. The tax credits enabled well
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: actually tens of millions of Americans to have Obamacare, to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: have insurance, and that is sunseted. That extension sunset, that
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: sunsets stops at the end of the year. And the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Republicans were adamant saying, we are not going to vote
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: on that. We are not going to pass the extension.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: We first want to avert the shutdown. We'll talk about
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: everything later. We want a clean bill, relatively clean bill.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was some money in the bill for
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: construction for the Pentagon and some administrative money for agencies,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: but for the most part, it was a clean bill.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And what does it mean, continuing resolution that we just
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: fund the government as it has been. You want to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: talk about this extension, You want to talk about health
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: insurance for millions of Americans who are going to lose it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that later. We'll have a vote about
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that later. Well, the reality, it doesn't matter when the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: vote comes. The Republicans will never vote for the extension.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Their philosophy is real simple. It's sunsets. It ends the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: end of the year, and the extension under the Biden
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: administration that's really important ends. And does it really matter
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that people lose their insurance?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Does it matter that premiums are going to explode?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, I don't buy that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And here is what the Republicans and the Democrats, eight
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of them who jumped over to the Republican side, said,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you give us this bill, you stop the shutdown, you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: avert the shutdown, then later on will negotiate and vote
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on this extension. Business of healthcare. Well, the Bruges have
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: been fighting this forever. They're never going to this government,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: this Congress will never vote for the extension. As long
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: as Republicans are in power, and as long as President
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Trump he controls it, he decides. It's that simple. He
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: wants the extension, he's going to get the extension. He
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: doesn't want the extension, he is not going to get
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the extension. Whatever he says, the Republicans decide they're going
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to go for exactly what he says. And this is fascinating.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And this is the power that this president has. Most
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: presidents have some power, but Congress can in cases, in
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: many cases, negotiate with the president and say, you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we really don't like this, and let's try this.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Not with Donald Trump. Whatever he says goes.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter whether And so here's what the Democrats
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: took away from this, because this is where the Republicans
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and the president went out. If we wait long enough,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the Democrats will cave. And why is that Because the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Republicans and President Trump had the ammunition. Because look at
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: those lines at food banks, Look at the stories of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you have federal employees who can't make mortgage payments, who
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: were going for extra jobs. Look at those air traffic
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: controllers who buy law had to go to work and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we're not getting paid.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That hits very deep, very quickly.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: So that was right now, and that is more powerful
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: than at the end of the year. People losing their
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: insurance because that's two that's two months down the line, right,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: lack of food is right now, so of course lack
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: of food is going to prevail. Now do the Republicans win.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, because here's what's going to happen.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: This extension only goes to the end of January. And
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: then the same argument, because between now and the end
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of January, the Republican Republicans say, of course we'll talk
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: about that extension. Of course, we'll talk about the tax
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: credits that we're allowing under Obamacare, the extra tax credits
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: because of the COVID because of COVID, and we want
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to we'll talk about whether we keep those or not.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: We'll have a vote. Let me give you the reality.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Since Congress is controlled by Republicans, since the Senate is
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: controlled by the Republicans, there will never be a vote
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to extend, and all of a sudden, people will have
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: lost their insurance. You've got all these billions of people
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: who have no insurance or have premiums that are so
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: high they can't afford the insurance, and.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Now they're in the middle of it, and they're going
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to know that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: The Republicans saying, oh, we'll talk about that later on.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's a bunch of crap.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They're not going to and that's going to hit home,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and we're right back to where we were. And at
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: some point, this is where the Democrats said, at some point,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: we have.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: To come to a meeting. We have to have a meeting.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You know, it's we have to deal with it. The
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Republicans don't want to deal with it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: There'll be another stoppage, and again, well, you people are starving.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: We'll do it later, because these what these continuing resolutions
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: are about.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it later.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Most of the stoppages of the government where the government
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: is shut down, most of them are and there's a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: lot of them that happened. Clinton had one almost every year.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It's one day, two days at at the outside a week,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: which barely ever happens. This is forty days. There's never
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: been anything close. There are governmental employees that lost three paychecks,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and mortgages still do, utility bills are still due, you
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: still have to go to the grocery store. You can't
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: tell the clerk at the grocery store, oops, I'm gonna
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: get paid next week or the week later. It doesn't
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: fly that way. So we'll see what happens. This discussion
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: is going to come back with a vengeance at the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: end of January.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: All right, LAPD is.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: It's a national story because it's Los Angeles and the LAPD. Boy,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: what a history it has, both good and bad. So
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the city council cut police spending this year, chopping in
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: half the number of officers that the mayor wanted.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: In May, the.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Council voted to give the LAPD need just enough money
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to recruit two hundred and forty officers. Bass, the mayor
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: had requested for eighty Why first of all, to close
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: that billion dollar budget shortfall, but also to prevent other
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: city workers from being laid off because that's the.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Only way they were going to be able to afford
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the new cops.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, the problem is, how do you pay for police
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: officers when you don't have the money to pay for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: police officers? Bass says, she is scrambling to find the money.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Is she in a scavenger hunt looking for money under rocks?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Are they going to raise city taxes? Are they going
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to raise development costs where developers pay more and more
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: money because they're an easy hit developers, because everybody hates developers,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: but that's passed on to the housing market. Where is
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: she going to find the money at this point, no
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: one knows. Bass has seen LAPD. Who's hundreds of officers
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: since she took office, and she's hoping at a minimum
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: keeping the department from shrinking again this year.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Now here are some numbers.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: If those cops are hired per Bass's request, sixteen hundred
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: civilian workers would be laid off. It's one or the other.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So what do you choose, the layoffs or the cops.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Because cities around the country, particularly la I mean, there's
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars shortfall in this city. The city spends
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: far more money.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Than it gets in.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: The city has decided that, for example, homelessness is a
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: huge issue, which it is, and has spent hundreds of
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: million dollars on the homeless issue. Okay, where do you
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: get the money? It's part of the budget. Can you
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: make Can you balance the budget? Not with additional cops,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: not with additional programs, not with additional civil service workers
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: working for the city.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: You cannot do it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And she almost vetoed the bill as it was voted,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and she ended up signing it and not happily. So
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: are we going to get the money, where we get
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the cops?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Who the hell knows? Who the hell knows.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: According to the police chief Jim McDonald, he said, at
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: least more people are applying to be cops than before.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: There was a period of time when no one wanted
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to be a cop.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: You know, police officers used to be I mean they
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: were put on pedestals, particularly the police officers that walk
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the beat.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody love them.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: You know, they go to a donut shop, they all
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you think they all had dandruff, but they didn't. That
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: was the powdered sugar for the free donuts they got.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Those days are gone. No free donuts.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they get half off, but those are day old donuts.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: All right, We're done with that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I have to go and see I explained this and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it's deep explanation and analysis.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Neil, You notice.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: That, I well, I think there's people still want to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: be cops, just not in LA I think, yeah, I agree,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I agree. And people go through the police academy because
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: it's one of the best academies in the country, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: they are police officers for a period of time, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: then they go to smaller police departments and there are
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: many police departments that pay a whole lot more than
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: in LA pays a good chunk of money, that have
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: better pensions and sports and as many powdered sugar donuts
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: as you could ever want to eat. Okay, Mike Dubuski,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: ABC News reporter who is with us on a regular basis,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike. How are things doing in the world
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: of Mike Dubuski. Not that I care, but I have.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: You know, hanging in. I suppose yeah, okay, good, good answer,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: hanging in. Okay. I want to spend a minute talking.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: About shopping online for the holidays and how AI is
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: affecting that, because it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Seems to be Yeah, absolutely so.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: There's some new numbers that we have from Adobe Analytics
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: that looks into this, and what they found was that
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: in the month of October, traffic from AI platforms to
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: retail sites was up twelve hundred percent over last year,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: meaning that people are going to services like chat, GPT
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: or Google Gemini. They're talking to these chatbots for a
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: little while, and some of the answers that these chatbots
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: give back are recommendations for products or links to other websites.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: People are then clicking those links and increasingly buying things
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: on online retail platforms. In fact, Adobe also found that
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: once a person was sent to one of these third
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: party websites, whether it be Walmart or eBay or Amazon
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: dot Com, they were sixteen percent more likely to buy
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: something if they came from an AI platform, and they
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: found this was true in September as well. So as
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: we head into the holiday shopping season, it seems like
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: this is a growing trend people going to these AI
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: services and using them to kind of get an idea
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: of what to buy in the online e commerce space.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Hey, a quick question about AI, and that is that
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: major companies, particularly the tech companies, are spending hundreds of billions.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Of dollars Yeah, on AI, and.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Most of the economists we're looking at this are saying,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: there is no way on God's Earth they're going to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: be able to monetize this. It's virtually impossible because of
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the money that's being invested in this.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: What is your take on this? Do you think that's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the case?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I think that's increasingly going to be a point of discussion. Yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: this next couple months, these next few quarters are going
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: to be crucial for the AI industry as they try
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: to monetize this technology, because they are spending way more
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: than they're making. We think that open Ai, which is
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the maker of JGBT, made about twenty billion dollars last year,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: a pretty penny certainly, but they also lost twelve billion
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: dollars last quarter alone. It is incredibly expensive to build
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: this technology, to build the data centers, and hire the
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: talent that is needed to make these systems work. And
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: it's worth mentioning these systems don't even entirely work yet
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: they still hallucinate, they still make mistakes. There still some
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: real questions about deploying this at scale. So, you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I think it's interesting to see them kind of move
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: into this e commerce space. Chat GPT recently announced integrations
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: with PayPal and Shopify that will let you check out
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: on the app without ever having to leave and actually
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: go to a third party to make your purchase. You
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: can actually stay within the app and make your purchase there.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Of course, they get a cut of that. It seems
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: like that's a revenue stream for them, or they certainly
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: hope it will be, because eventually these bills are going
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to start coming doe and they are pretty hefty bills,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: you know, to the order of nine figure deals that
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: OpenAI has struck with the likes of Oracle and Nvidia
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: and others.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I, I'm just starting to use AI and
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: just for research purposes. Not that I have this problem,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: but I looked at Penis extenders with a I. You
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: should have seen the stuff that I got. That's just
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: an aside. So people are buying with AI, is it?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I know it's way up the number of people doing it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Do you actually save a good chunk of money? Is
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: worthwhile strictly monetarily.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Well from the customer's perspective, maybe a good thing that
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: these AI systems are pretty good at doing is like
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: comparing prices, But of course there's still the hallucination problem.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: They might be pulling a price that is outdated or
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: not accurate, so there's definitely some level of risk there.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I think that there's a bigger cost question when it
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: comes to deploying these things at scale. McKinsey put out
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: a survey last week that found that while ninety percent
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: of companies that they surveyed are regularly using AI, nearly
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: two thirds are not deploying it at scale into their workflows.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: And this, of course comes nearly three years after the
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: launch of chant GPT, these companies are still adopting a
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: weight and see sort of approach to this technology, and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: that creates a really existential threat for the AI industry.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Do we have any numbers or at least pronostications as
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to how many people will or are unemployed because of
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: AI and it's wiping out entire industries. I know that,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: for example, entry level computer programmers, engineerings that's gone because
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: of AI. And I'm being told, oh, if people are there,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: if they know how to use AI, well, that's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: fraction of the number of people who lost their jobs.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Do we have any idea where that's going.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Not at the moment. Again, it's the very early stages
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: of this, and it's worth mentioning. While we are seeing
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of layoffs across the tech sector. Amazon made
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: you know, huge headlines recently for nag off thousands upon
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: thousands of workers. A lot of it doesn't actually have
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: to do with AI. And in fact, Amazon, you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: made that announcement that they were making about a ten
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: percent staff reduction globally, and they actually had to come
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: out after the fact because many people were speculating it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: because oh, they're integrating generative artificial intelligence. Later they came
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: out and said, no, actually, we're just doing this because
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: of other sort of economic winds that are blowing. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: that really does speak to the fact that this technology,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: despite the fact that we talk about it all the time,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: is still really imperfect and still not a really trustworthy
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: thing for these companies to integrate.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Mike, thank you for the information. It's always
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: good you have a good day. You did because because
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you're in New York, it's actually almost night. Got it,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: all right? Today is Veterans Day, also known as Armisice Day.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And what's that about a little bit of history here.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Armisist Day was declared because because World War One ended
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: in nineteen eighteen, the Armistice, I mean the fighting stopped
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: between the Germans and the Austrians against the quote Allies.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: It's sort of the same. It's some sort of the
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: same breakup as World War Two. And it ended on
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the eleventh hour of the eleventh month, the eleventh day.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: And that's why it's November eleven, nineteen eighteen.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I did a story a.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Few years ago about they literally put down their arms
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: at eleven o'clock. I mean it stopped right there, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: there was a story about I think it was an
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: English soldier who was killed three minutes before eleven o'clock
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: ten fifty seven. He was shot. Boy, wrong place, wrong
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: time in any case. In nineteen fifty four it officially.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Became Veterans Day.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: The Armisice Day, originally a day to remember those who
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: had served in World War One, the Great War, the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: War to end all wars. Boy, they jumped on that one,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: didn't they coming back to World War Two and then
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: remembering those who served in that war. But then you
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: have World War two and you have the Korean War.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: So the US decided to honor all veterans instead of Joe,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: just those that came out of World War One, and
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty four it officially became Veterans Day, honoring
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: everyone who has served. Now most people confuse Veterans Day
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: with Memorial Day.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Isn't Memorial Day about people will have served?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it actually is, but Memorial Day honor service members
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: who have died in the service to their country. On
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Veterans Day, also deceased veterans are remembered. The difference is
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Veterans Day talks about thinking and honoring living veterans as
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: opposed to Memorial Day.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: That's the big one.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: And so in nineteen thirty eight, Armistices Day was established
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: to remember that armistice signed on the eleventh hour of
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the eleventh day of the eleventh month, nineteen eighteen. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: that was first proclaimed by the first Armists Day nineteen
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: nineteen by President Woodrow Wilson. And then you had World
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: War two, the Korean War, so in nineteen fifty four
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: it became Veterans Day as opposed to Armistice Day. I
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: kind of like Armistice Day, but the reality is, we
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: really have to honor our veterans, and we didn't honor them.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: We don't honor them at all. To give you an
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: idea of honoring veterans, when I was in the middle
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: of the Vietnam Draft and soldiers coming back from Vietnam
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and the fight over there, and it's a fight we
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have had, and I don't want to go into
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: politics of that, but do you know that soldiers coming
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: back couldn't wear their uniforms on the street because people
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: would spit on them, because the armed services were looked
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: at in such disregard. And today, of course we all
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: those who have served. As a matter of fact, on
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Handle on the law. If anybody says I'm a veteran,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I go thank you for your service.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: That's a given. Boy.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Life has changed and for the better. So the thing
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I think to remember is.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Veterans Day came out of World War One Armistice Day
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: on November eleventh.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Because of the history, thought i'd share that with you
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 23:28
