00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>You're list sings KFI AM six forty the Bill Handle

2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Show on demand on the iHeartRadio f and this is

3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:12.599
<v Speaker 1>KFI Bill Handle and the Morning Crew on a Wednesday morning,

4
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>August fourteenth. Some of the stories we're looking at Tropical

5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Storm Ernesto in Puerto Rico, lots of rain and dismissing

6
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Puerto Rico by the way, it's going right past. It

7
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter when you have a storm of that size,

8
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 1>going to be a hurricane too. So that's one of

9
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the big stories we're looking at. And then last yesterday,

10
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>President Biden made his cancer funding announcement. The cancer moonshot,

11
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>as he has been describing it four years. Spending in

12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 1>this case was one hundred and fifty million dollars in

13
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>grants to cut the cancer death rate in half. I

14
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>think twenty forty five, I think, is what he said.

15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, Now, we had that earthquake that happened a

16
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>couple of days ago. It was small magnitude four point

17
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>five for earthquake. Yeah, no damage was reported. I didn't

18
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>even feel it and where was it. It was a

19
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>small rupture, I mean a small few hundred feet of

20
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a fault and it's known as the Puente Hills thrust

21
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 1>fault system, which you probably never heard of. You know,

22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Puente Hill's fault thrust system a big deal. Well, we

23
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 1>know how dangerous the San Andrea's fault is. We know

24
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>how horrific an earthquake if it moved along the San

25
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Andreas fault, because it is huge. You can in Palmdale

26
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>you can actually see the fault line, the Palmdale budge

27
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 1>a bulge. If you go up there, you can actually

28
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>see where that fault line lies. It's right there at

29
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the surface. It's called the Palmdale Bulge. Fat people usually

30
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 1>go there a lot, see the bulish fat people. Well,

31
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>as we know how dangerous San Andreas is, it doesn't

32
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>compare with a twenty Hills thrust fall system, not even close.

33
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Because what the twenty Hills thrust system does it goes

34
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>directly underneath the most congested part of southern California. And

35
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 1>if it goes, man, we're looking at some real, real damage.

36
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me give you a worst case scenario. If the

37
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>San Andreas fault really does this thing and zips all

38
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the way to the La County Mountains, they're looking at

39
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>a death toll of eighteen hundred people. That's a seven

40
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>point eight percent quake or a seven point eight quake

41
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>on the Richter scale. All right, so now let's look

42
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 1>at a seven point five magnitude earthquake on the Pwenty

43
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Hills thrust fault system. Okay, it's not as big as

44
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>the San Andreas fault, but according to the US Geological

45
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Survey and the Southern California Earthquake Center, you're looking at

46
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>three three thousand to eighteen thousand deaths and far far

47
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>more dangerous, a lot more damage. Now we know the

48
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>San Andreas fault. It's average every hundred years, and we're

49
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>sort of due for it, which means it's coming next week.

50
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I just want to point that out. And there's a

51
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>good chance you're not going to be alive that listen

52
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to the show. So our ratings are going to go

53
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 1>down fairly dramatically. However that happens. We're due about every

54
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 1>hundred years, the big one, the Puente Hills thrust fault,

55
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>across its line going right under Southern California. I'm talking

56
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>about Korea Town, Downtown LA. I mean, all of it.

57
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Really dense areas that happens every thousand years, give or take.

58
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Is what the seismologists are saying, and they don't know

59
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the last time it happened, no idea. Not we know

60
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the earthquakes that have hit the last one hundred, one

61
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifty two hundred years, that's easy. This one we

62
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. And what happens is the point the

63
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Hills Thrust fould is also under the La Basin directly,

64
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 1>and that's soft sediment, so that is even worse. By

65
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the way, the last major quake on the San Andreas

66
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 1>fault was eighteen fifty seven, and that was about seven

67
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 1>point eight, and so we're due. We're absolutely due. Nineteen

68
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven the Whittier Narrows earthquake five point nine, Whittier downtown.

69
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 1>The buildings were in real trouble because what ends up happening.

70
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>And now it's better because modern co modern building codes

71
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 1>take into effect earthquakes. So now you have foundations, you

72
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>bolt down houses. You know, when I prior to the

73
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Persian Palace, I lived in Hancock Park adjacent I had

74
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a duplex building was built in nineteen twenty seven. It

75
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>was not bolted to the foundation, sat on the foundation. Now,

76
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.639
<v Speaker 1>when I bought it, I immediately retrofitted it bolted it down,

77
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>put up all kinds of reinforcements along the wall, made

78
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the walls thicker, more resilient to earthquakes, but a lot

79
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of people didn't, and what ended up happening during the

80
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>quake is you had houses that just literally slipped a

81
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 1>few inches off the foundation because they weren't even bolted down.

82
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Complete losses. You can't put a house back onto a foundation,

83
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 1>complete loss and that is the problem because this quake

84
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 1>or this fault goes underneath parts of the city that

85
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>are not retrofitted that the homes are very old. Let

86
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>me ask you, Neil, your house is what nineteen ten is?

87
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Has it been earthquake retrofilled? Nineteen twelve?

88
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, completely, that was one of the first things we

89
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 2>looked at. It's been the foundation was all shored up

90
00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>and it was bolted down.

91
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 1>And was that the previous owner, Yes, yes, they did it.

92
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>But you know what's funny is we've talked to a

93
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of people who grew up here around it and

94
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>passed down generationally, and the chimney has come down maybe

95
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 2>five times and now it's a completely different setup. But

96
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 2>those brick chimneys came down all the time.

97
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, You can't put in a brick chimney in

98
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles anymore. They don't let you.

99
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 2>So ours is not that anymore. It's stucco and all

100
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>of that. And it's a firebox.

101
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, you can put You can put brick up

102
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to a firebox level. But going up, if you have brick,

103
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that's all fake. Yeah yeah, which makes a lot of

104
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 1>sense because you don't want to be near a chimney

105
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>made out of brick if you're walking when the big

106
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 1>earthquake comes. So just a quick strap everything down, please,

107
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, for those of you that are into that

108
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>kinky stuff, you already have all of the equipment you need,

109
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>just in anticipation of the earthquake which is going to come.

110
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 1>We're done, guys, all right. Donald Trump tried to get

111
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a new judge in his hush money case and once

112
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 1>again asked that Juan Mershon, the judge, be removed, and

113
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>judge had stop it. You're doing this over and over again.

114
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to rehash everything I've already ruled. And

115
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>this has to do with Mershon's daughter having been involved

116
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 1>in some political democratic political activity, and Mershon said no,

117
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 1>all right, now talking about what happened with Donald Trump.

118
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of the things that I find fascinating is,

119
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>for example, you've got Walls who made that comment I

120
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many years ago about when he was

121
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Army reserves and it was weapons of war

122
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>and he hated that and I was in the war

123
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and he wasn't, and Vance nailed him on that. He's

124
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>a liar. He was never in combat. And this was

125
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 1>a statement that Walls made and he did make it,

126
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>by the way, And what's happening is the Democrats and

127
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Walls are deflecting it and saying he just talks about

128
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 1>walls service and twenty four years in the service and

129
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 1>he's proud of it and won't denegrate a Dvance. Okay,

130
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 1>So with that, I'm going to give I'm going to

131
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>give Walls a pass for whatever he said. I also

132
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 1>give Donald Trump a pass for what he says a lot,

133
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>because Donald Trump generally shoots from the hip and he

134
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>says things, and you know, that's who he is. The

135
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 1>problem is he doesn't stop saying it over and over again.

136
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Talking about Kamala Harris and her race. She's not black,

137
00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>She's just decided to be black. Now huh, doubles downs,

138
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>doubles down on it. So in his interview, this is

139
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Trump and Musk, and this was really touted is a

140
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 1>big deal on X two hours softball interview. Trump sort

141
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 1>of did it again. In this case. He is talking

142
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>about United auto Workers union and he has had a

143
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 1>fight with Faine, who was president of the Auto Workers

144
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. The auto workers they're Democrats, you know.

145
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>The union guys vote for Democrats. And Trump is trying

146
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 1>to get and has succeeded to some extent to get

147
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>union voters go for him. He is in favor of

148
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 1>the union, the unions, and the union worker, which you

149
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.399
<v Speaker 1>have some questions about that. So during the interview with Musk,

150
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>he says, you're the greatest cutter. I mean basically, this

151
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>was saying we're talking about must not tolerating workers to

152
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>go on strike. Trump goes on, I mean, look what

153
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>you do. You walk in, you just say you want

154
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to quit. They go on strike. I will mention the

155
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 1>name of the company. But they go on strike, and

156
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you say, that's okay, you're all gone. Now. It's against

157
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 1>the law for any worker to be fired for going

158
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 1>on strike. It's illegal. They are protected when they go

159
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 1>on strike, and Trump has said, you know, good for

160
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you for firing workers that go on strike. Well, you know,

161
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.639
<v Speaker 1>the UAW got a little bit upset and they came

162
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>out and they filed The UAW has filed a labor

163
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>relations complaint saying that somehow Trump and Musk's haid something illegal,

164
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 1>which you know, they're trying to get people to try

165
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to interfere with strikes all or that's crap, you know,

166
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just bs. Of course they're going to go no

167
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>place with that. But the point is is that it

168
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>is a difficult move for a Republican to try to

169
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>convince union workers that he or she is on their side.

170
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 1>That is not easy to do. Trump to some extent

171
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>has succeeded by arguing, I'm the guy that protects your jobs. Okay,

172
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean he can argue with that one all day long. However,

173
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, to go on and interview and say I'm

174
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 1>thrilled with you if there's a strike, you fire them, congratulations. Huh.

175
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Now here is what one of the arguments that Trump

176
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>is saying he is in favor of the auto workers specifically,

177
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 1>and that is he wants to put one hundred percent

178
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 1>tariff on Chinese made EV's electric vehicles, which will protect

179
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 1>American workers. And that you know, when you think about it,

180
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>if you make it prohibitive for Chinese made evs or

181
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>any product to come into the United States by putting

182
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent tariff, boy, that shuts down the market.

183
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know how big the Chinese sold EV market

184
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 1>is in the United States. You know how many Chinese ees

185
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>they actually sold last year or this year? Zero? Not

186
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a one is being sold in America. So let me

187
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>get this straight. All right, I'm going to protect union

188
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>workers by putting one hundred percent tax on cars that

189
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>are not coming in now that no one is selling.

190
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>But I'm going to protect you because they can't sell

191
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and I want to make sure they won't And it's

192
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>is that gonna fly with union workers? No, I don't

193
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:38.919
<v Speaker 1>think so. I don't think so. So you know, and

194
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 1>I know you know where I said politically as far

195
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>as Trump and Harris is concerned. So I'm not going

196
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to get into that, but I will tell you that

197
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the Trump campaign at this point is scrambling. What's the message?

198
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.879
<v Speaker 1>We have to do something. They were not prepared for

199
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden to drop out oh, by the way, here

200
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 1>is also here's the new tactic. It is unconstitutional for

201
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Harris to run for president. It was a coup. Why

202
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 1>because because Joe Biden won the primary and now Harris

203
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.799
<v Speaker 1>is the nominee. That is unconstitutional. I can't wait for

204
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>that lawsuit to be filed for sure, And I guess

205
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the argument is therefore, if it is unconstitutional for Harris

206
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 1>to run, one of two things happen. Either Joe Biden

207
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.519
<v Speaker 1>must continue running even though he doesn't want to, so

208
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna call the political police and arrest him if

209
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>he bails out. So I don't think that's a problem there.

210
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>The other issue, of course, it is not unconstitutional. And

211
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the whole the lawsuits are going to file. And by

212
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the way, have you noticed the rigged election talk is

213
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>now starting to ramp up. It is now coming. The

214
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.159
<v Speaker 1>rigged election talk is now starting to really ramp up.

215
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>And as of right now, there's honeymoon going on with

216
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris. We don't know if that's going to continue

217
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>on the polls half turned could be because she was

218
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>just nominated. No one knows, no one has any idea.

219
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 1>But if the polls continue to somehow prevail in Harris's

220
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>in Harris acide on Harris's side and she gets traction.

221
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.159
<v Speaker 1>You will see it's a rigged election. Explode and the

222
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>lawsuits are going to start flying. Guaranteed they were. Last time,

223
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>sixty three lawsuits were filed federally and across states to

224
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.240
<v Speaker 1>hold the election invalid. Can't wait for this one to happen.

225
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, and by the way, the Trump campaign is very,

226
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 1>very professional. I mean, he's got top notch advisors doing

227
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the work. He's just not listening of them. That's the problem. Harris,

228
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I think, parrots ever thing her advisor says. If you

229
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>go up there and say hello to Kamala Harris, you

230
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>go hello, madam Vice President, what will happen? She'll look

231
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.639
<v Speaker 1>at you, but you'll look over your shoulder because there's

232
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>a teleprompter behind you in which she talks to you.

233
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 1>All right. There is a complaint by an employee of

234
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:29.639
<v Speaker 1>La City attorney Heidi Feldstein Sodo, alleging that Feldstein Soto

235
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 1>the office searched the emails of employees, particularly this one.

236
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>And here is the issue, because this employee had been

237
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:43.399
<v Speaker 1>vocal about problems in the office and then all of

238
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>a sudden emails were looked at, and you would think

239
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that as an out and out violation. You can't do

240
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:53.399
<v Speaker 1>that or the other side of it. Hey, if it

241
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 1>is a company email and it goes on the server,

242
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you're wide open to have it looked at by the company. Now.

243
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I always thought, and most people do that if you

244
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>use a company server. There's no such thing as a

245
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>private email. Neil, you were in management for many, many years.

246
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that the policy of iHeart that they can read

247
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.399
<v Speaker 1>anything that goes out on an iHeart server personal not personal.

248
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I can't you know, speak to that specifically as management

249
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.639
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not anymore. But I do recall seeing, you know,

250
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>we get those things that would pop up saying that

251
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 2>used to say, yeah, that they were their servers and

252
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.559
<v Speaker 2>using their email that they have a right to. I

253
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:41.840
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen that in a long time.

254
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>But well, and here's ways I brought it up. This

255
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>complaint has just been filed and it's not clear. It

256
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>is not clear. I thought it was crystal clear. There's

257
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.799
<v Speaker 1>no such thing as a private email. If you're at

258
00:16:54.840 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>work and it turns out that line is fuzzy, there

259
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:07.119
<v Speaker 1>may be a violation if a private email is looked

260
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 1>into maybe and what an attorney was interviewed for this

261
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>story said, you have to look at the intent of

262
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the employer. Whenever you say you have to look at

263
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the intent, boy, you're now in a mess, because how

264
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 1>do you establish intent? Well, in this case, well, here

265
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.079
<v Speaker 1>are the rules according to it. There was a case

266
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 1>that went at the Supreme Court in twenty ten City

267
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 1>of Ontario versus Kwan, and the court said that the company,

268
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>as a matter of fact, did have the right to

269
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 1>go ahead interfere with or at least look at private

270
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>emails and the privacy rights had not been violated. The

271
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 1>search was reasonable going through emails. And here is is

272
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 1>if it's, for example, to figure out what work has

273
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.559
<v Speaker 1>to be done, you're on vacation and you have a

274
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 1>big project or there's an important project, does the employer

275
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 1>have a right to go into your email, find out

276
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>where it's going, how far it's gone, so they can

277
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>switch it over to someone. Yeah, that's reasonable because that's

278
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.880
<v Speaker 1>for the benefit of the company. There's nothing unreasonable about that.

279
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>How about just a phishing expedition. We're going to go

280
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>through the emails and we have an algorithm that if you,

281
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 1>for example, pornography was a big one. You can't do it.

282
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Of course, people have been caught looking at porno at work.

283
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.960
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, that's so unusual, because no one

284
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.839
<v Speaker 1>ever looks at porno at work. You know, They've been

285
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 1>study after study saying that that just doesn't happen in

286
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>American business. Right at work? Seriously, of course, they everybody

287
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:49.440
<v Speaker 1>looks at porno at work.

288
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm looking at a lot of shocked faces here.

289
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about business in general. Now, I have been

290
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 1>caught doing it a few times, but my argument is,

291
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing this for the purposes of the show. Okay,

292
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>sex with Chickens dot Com is not because I'm excited

293
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 1>about it. It's because I'm doing a story on it.

294
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I want to point something out. When

295
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you go on the Internet, you can come up with

296
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:23.680
<v Speaker 1>any crazy, depraved act you can possibly think of, put

297
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>a dot com after it, and just press search and

298
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:34.759
<v Speaker 1>you will find a world chat rooms clubs out there.

299
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.400
<v Speaker 1>But the point is the governor the company and I

300
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 1>was told very early on saying, you go on the

301
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 1>internet and you look, we have the ability to check

302
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.680
<v Speaker 1>it out. Well maybe not. Let's turn around for me

303
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. Now I know you can't talk about

304
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>well you know what people? Have people gotten in trouble

305
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.160
<v Speaker 1>during your tenure? Neil for inappropriate you.

306
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I don't know that I can say. Quite honestly,

307
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I really don't that's not no. I don't know that

308
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 2>I could say, and I wouldn't want to I wouldn't

309
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.279
<v Speaker 2>want to say.

310
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 1>So, okay, so how about this a hypothetical company. But

311
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what you did?

312
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can mentioned names, but I think you know

313
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 2>what you did.

314
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I know what I did. I never got in trouble

315
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 1>for it.

316
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay. So now so now you don't want me to.

317
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Say, Okay, okay, I never got you. You know why.

318
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know what my defense is. You know

319
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 1>what my defense is. Here we go first amendment. Uh,

320
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at the show for research purposes, looking at that

321
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.359
<v Speaker 1>site for research purposes.

322
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the underage chickens was yes.

323
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.440
<v Speaker 1>And then the best defense in the world. And this

324
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:01.079
<v Speaker 1>happens across the board. If you're the best salesperson in

325
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:04.279
<v Speaker 1>the office, you get a pass. If you're indispensable, you

326
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.599
<v Speaker 1>get a pass. And the bottom line is how much

327
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you're making for the company, you get a pass. But

328
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.759
<v Speaker 1>this actually came up, and I did not know that

329
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of restrictions to what a company

330
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.279
<v Speaker 1>can look at and cannot which I find. Then that's

331
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:23.759
<v Speaker 1>a case that's coming up. So there we go. I

332
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 1>spun it off a little bit. Neil will never ever

333
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.039
<v Speaker 1>say anything he ever did with management, because Neil is

334
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:34.759
<v Speaker 1>a wuss. Because Neil is a wimp, and Neil is

335
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>he's a gutlass wonder, Neil Wonder, Neil is a pandy waste. Okay,

336
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 1>anything else i'd like to add, mean the octagon, Oh okay. Now,

337
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.480
<v Speaker 1>if you want to hire a photographer, let's say you've

338
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.720
<v Speaker 1>got a wedding or a bar mitzvah Kinsiniera and you

339
00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 1>need a photographer, you cannot hire on Charles Omania anymore

340
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:04.880
<v Speaker 1>or omany not available because he now works for the

341
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:09.319
<v Speaker 1>State of California. Gavin Newsom hired him at two hundred

342
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars a year. It's a good gig. He's a

343
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>state employee. Now he's pretty high end photographer. I mean

344
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:19.880
<v Speaker 1>his clients from Mark Zuckerberg, George W. Bush, Barack Obama,

345
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 1>He's photographed all of them. Former photo journalist, war photographer

346
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>went with Newsom to China last year as a freelancer.

347
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.559
<v Speaker 1>He has now been hired by the state to follow

348
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Newsom around and cover him. We photos for you. Now. Politically,

349
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of course, this has to do with Newsom's run for

350
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:47.039
<v Speaker 1>the presidency. I mean, there's no question about that. For example,

351
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the State of the State wasn't really a state of

352
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.279
<v Speaker 1>the State this year. What it was was a video

353
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 1>state of the State that was interspersed and there was

354
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of editing with pictures that Omeny took of

355
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>new some doing things. There's a great picture of great

356
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:09.319
<v Speaker 1>shots of Newsom at one of the encampments and he's

357
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 1>putting on he's in a hard hat and he's with

358
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>a vest and he's cleaning up garbage after an encampment

359
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.839
<v Speaker 1>has been cleared, and you can see him. He's a

360
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.160
<v Speaker 1>regular guy, Newsome And strangely enough, there was a photo

361
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.839
<v Speaker 1>there photo op City, and Charles Omani is the guy

362
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 1>who does it. Now. Is it fair to have a

363
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 1>photographer follow the governor? That's a big yes and no.

364
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I think both. The argument goes on both sides. One

365
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 1>obviously a cheap political attempt to get his best and

366
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 1>as many shots as you can, knowing that you're going

367
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to run for president, and here you go. Here I

368
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.799
<v Speaker 1>am being a wonderful guy. Here I am serving up

369
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>food at Thanksgiving to the homeless. Here I am cleaning

370
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.880
<v Speaker 1>up garbage, and I'm wearing my top, my hard hat,

371
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and so those are the pictures I'm going to come

372
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>out straight for political purposes. On the other hand, you

373
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:09.079
<v Speaker 1>know this is history too, you know, to memorialize a

374
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>governor and what a governor does in California, and we

375
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.319
<v Speaker 1>look at photos of presidents and past governors and they

376
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 1>are historical pieces of information. Photos are a big part

377
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:26.079
<v Speaker 1>of it. I guess where is the line. You know,

378
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the governor having lunch during the pandemic and going through

379
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 1>a drive through with a mask on is one thing.

380
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Going up to the French laundry, three star Michelin restaurant

381
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:43.359
<v Speaker 1>with a group of people and having a lunch that

382
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:46.160
<v Speaker 1>costs three hundred and fifty dollars ahead is another thing.

383
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.839
<v Speaker 1>Both are legitimate. It's just I mean, look at the optics,

384
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and Newsom is making sure we get plenty of optics.

385
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>If he wasn't running for president, if he wasn't such

386
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a slick politician, I would feel much better. I would

387
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd also feel much better if he's dancing at a

388
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>queencin Eira and was photographed doing that too. Go figure,

389
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.400
<v Speaker 1>which way do you go on that one? I don't know,

390
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:24.279
<v Speaker 1>it works both ways for me. Kfiam six forty Live
