Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: Trump also said yesterday, if the AP does not use
Speaker 2: the Gulf of America as describing the Gulf of Mexico,
Speaker 2: Trump will be sending troops into the AP and we'll.
Speaker 3: Be attacking it. Didn't we see that AP reporter trying
Speaker 3: to crash the Oval office. It was dragged off in handcuffs.
Speaker 3: Do I have that right?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Oh, and now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 3: Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 2: Bill Handle here and the Morning Crew modified Morning Crew
Speaker 2: today and it is Thursday morning, February thirteenth. By the way,
Speaker 2: that Trump line that I said about, let's just say
Speaker 2: these some issues with the AP that refuses to or
Speaker 2: we'll still use the term the ghost of Mexico.
Speaker 3: I don't know how far off I am. One of
Speaker 3: the things I want to talk about, and that is
Speaker 3: what time we're going to do.
Speaker 2: That At eight thirty is thirty three moves that President
Speaker 2: Trump has made in twenty three days and.
Speaker 3: Executive executive actions.
Speaker 2: The last time anybody came close to this was FDR
Speaker 2: when he inherited the depression and how he had to
Speaker 2: deal with the same thing happened.
Speaker 3: Lawsuits were filed.
Speaker 2: It was a conservative court and in fact shut down
Speaker 2: a lot of what FDR wanted. But FDR was a
Speaker 2: liberal and it was It'll be a little bit of
Speaker 2: history now we talk about.
Speaker 3: So first, let's say hello to everybody.
Speaker 2: Cono, good morning, Moonda, Bill Okay, Neil, good morning, Willie
Speaker 2: wolf Amy good morning.
Speaker 5: Well Hello Bill.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: And filling in for Anne today and tomorrow is Michelle.
Speaker 5: Hello, good morning.
Speaker 2: The the erstwhile of the erstwhile producer of this show
Speaker 2: for twenty five years and Michelle now promoted to executive
Speaker 2: producer almost twenty six years.
Speaker 3: How long you've been the executive producer, Michelle?
Speaker 5: Almost four?
Speaker 3: Really? All right?
Speaker 5: Longer?
Speaker 3: So Anne is not here, by the way, am I
Speaker 3: is Anne? Okay? With sharing why she's gone for two days?
Speaker 3: Does she say anything? Would rather not this?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I would probably say air on the
Speaker 5: side of not. She'll probably okay.
Speaker 3: Then, okay, fair enough. So what a tease that is? Huh?
Speaker 5: Just some stuff?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Of course that people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, usually people do have some stuff going on, unless
Speaker 2: they are so sick of the show they go I
Speaker 2: need a day off. Nothing going on. Yes, that is
Speaker 2: not only an option, it is a possibility, It is
Speaker 2: a probability.
Speaker 5: I would say it should be required that every few
Speaker 5: months you get a few days off from you.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, all right, So maybe she'll share on Monday,
Speaker 2: so you have to tune in. Michelle is here today
Speaker 2: and tomorrow. Big storms coming in today. We have a
Speaker 2: lot to cover.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, let's start with Amy. I
Speaker 3: say good morning to you already.
Speaker 6: You did, oh for the love of them.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is memory, this is memory speaking.
Speaker 2: Now I can tell you the programs that FDR actually
Speaker 2: did initiate, which ones were shot down by the Supreme
Speaker 2: Court in nineteen thirty two.
Speaker 3: But I forgot that.
Speaker 2: I said hello to Amy thirty five seconds ago.
Speaker 7: You know who else have springs like that? Dementia patients?
Speaker 3: True? Actually, I just you know, you're right.
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's in the news, and I take ambient and
Speaker 2: it says and my balance is bad.
Speaker 3: I'm forgetting things.
Speaker 2: So I've always forgotten things, so that hasn't changed very much.
Speaker 2: But I'm right in line with what's going on. It's
Speaker 2: pretty scary stuff. So okay, okay, so I'll be very
Speaker 2: forgetful this morning, it's time for Handle news.
Speaker 6: Today is Thursday. We're starting Handle on the news.
Speaker 3: That is correct with Amy.
Speaker 2: The point is, I know that's correct, So that's the
Speaker 2: least helpful as opposed to huh huh, what are we doing? Okay,
Speaker 2: time for Handle on the news. Lead story.
Speaker 3: You keep him and it's all about the rain.
Speaker 2: And when we have any issues of climate, I always
Speaker 2: defer to Amy to give us the latest.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: So the rain is falling now, the heaviest that helps.
Speaker 4: It is expected to start at about two this afternoon.
Speaker 4: And because of the heavy rain expected and maybe even
Speaker 4: thunderstorms which would be really bad tonight, there are several
Speaker 4: evacuation warnings in place. They could turn into evacuation orders
Speaker 4: if they If your house is under an evacuation order,
Speaker 4: you would have been contacted by now directly. But just
Speaker 4: know that, you know, mud flows and debris flows and
Speaker 4: flash flooding is all the possibility, So get ready and
Speaker 4: be ready to get.
Speaker 3: Out if you have to. Yeah, that's gonna be a
Speaker 3: big one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's in La County near the burn scars. It's in
Speaker 4: Orange County near the airport fire. It's also in the
Speaker 4: Ie from the fires. From earlier, from October. So there's
Speaker 4: several areas that are affected.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be reporting on that. Well, I think
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon will be more reporting. And then this
Speaker 2: afternoon because the rain's coming down and it's getting uh
Speaker 2: you see, getting harder and harder as it comes down. Now, quick,
Speaker 2: quick question, rain always comes down? Why do we say that?
Speaker 2: Is a does does that ever go up?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, something, I'm just wondering why rain always comes down.
Speaker 3: It seems to me a touch of redundancy there.
Speaker 2: Uh gravity Uh, I think, yeah, I think I think
Speaker 2: gravity has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'll buy that.
Speaker 4: If the winds are blowing hard enough, it blows sideway,
Speaker 4: it falls side sideways.
Speaker 3: That's true. I'll buy that. And of course, our one
Speaker 3: of our favorite views is you watch TV and the
Speaker 3: reporter from local station, even national station is there with
Speaker 3: a microphone talking about the winds.
Speaker 2: Although now the microphones are so good that the winds
Speaker 2: could be howling and still you can hear the reporter
Speaker 2: fairly clearly. However, the visual, and this is where I
Speaker 2: wish we were television, The visual of a reporter standing
Speaker 2: there and then being just swept away in front of you,
Speaker 2: like sideways, just hitting the wall.
Speaker 3: A lot of fun to see that happening.
Speaker 5: Getting ready to get out.
Speaker 4: As we've been telling you, some people are being warned
Speaker 4: that they might need to evacuate because of possible debris
Speaker 4: and mudflows. So there is a voluntary evacuation warning for
Speaker 4: several areas in the Airport burnfire. That's the one in
Speaker 4: Orange County that burned in last fall, Tribuco Canyon, Bell Canyon,
Speaker 4: Hot Springs Canyon, Long Canyon, Majesica Canyon. Flood watch will
Speaker 4: also be in effect from this morning through tonight for
Speaker 4: most of Orange County. In fact, the floodwatch is up
Speaker 4: for much of southern California.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can go to the site you are
Speaker 2: going to be swept away and die dot com. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: you can respond, you know I did.
Speaker 3: Okay, it was by not responding, So that says a lot.
Speaker 2: That says a lot, because silence is the loudest reaction
Speaker 2: you can have.
Speaker 3: Who came up with that phrase? By the way, what
Speaker 3: moron came up with that?
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure Let's move on whoever it was?
Speaker 3: No, No, let's move on, Neil now let's move on.
Speaker 6: Please, I'll give a beat here because this is sad.
Speaker 7: A car plowed into demonstrators in Munich this morning, injuring
Speaker 7: at least twenty eight people. Local officials are looking at
Speaker 7: this and calling it a suspected attack. Unfortunately, children were
Speaker 7: among the injured, according to the city's mayor. So the
Speaker 7: car hit a group of protesters staging a demonstration and
Speaker 7: this was linked to a strike organized by the thirty Union.
Speaker 2: So you know, terror attacks are now defaulting just by
Speaker 2: taking a car truck and slamming into a group with people.
Speaker 2: You know, they're getting away from bombing, which takes manufacturing
Speaker 2: the bomb, and certainly hijacking is you know, it's almost
Speaker 2: impossible to do, but drive, renting a car, drive in car,
Speaker 2: stealing a car or a truck and plowing into a
Speaker 2: group of people and killing or injuring dozens. That's the
Speaker 2: go to now for terrorists. And how do you defend
Speaker 2: against that?
Speaker 6: You don't.
Speaker 7: And the whole point is we like to focus on
Speaker 7: the weapon of choice rather than focusing on people wanting
Speaker 7: to do this to harm other people.
Speaker 2: You know, they'll find a way that I think it's
Speaker 2: basically social media and people calling in and the National
Speaker 2: Security Agency. Do you know that the NSA monitors every
Speaker 2: single phone call that's made in the United States everyone,
Speaker 2: and it goes through all kinds of algorithms and they
Speaker 2: pull out words and phrases and then someone determines or
Speaker 2: another algorithm determines whether that is some kind of a
Speaker 2: risk question, okay. Or a little bit of advice, don't
Speaker 2: look up pressure cookers if you're going to buy one.
Speaker 2: And if you are talking about a movie and it's
Speaker 2: not doing too well.
Speaker 3: Do not call it a bomb. That good advice.
Speaker 7: That is, as we say, we say that it's a
Speaker 7: mass shooting, rather than saying that it's a mass killing
Speaker 7: when really the killing part is the worst part about it. Okay,
Speaker 7: whether it's a car or a knife a guy, thats okay.
Speaker 3: That resonates.
Speaker 4: Let's take the deal. That's what seventy five thousand federal
Speaker 4: employees are saying to President Trump's buyout offer. The deal was,
Speaker 4: if you agree to resign, we'll pay you through September.
Speaker 4: And a judge had put it on hold said nope,
Speaker 4: can't do that. But he didn't really say no, because
Speaker 4: the same judge lifted the pause on the program said,
Speaker 4: the labor unions who sued didn't really have standing to
Speaker 4: file the lawsuit. So the people who've accepted it about
Speaker 4: three point three percent of the federal government's two point
Speaker 4: three million workers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I tried to do the numbers on this, and my
Speaker 2: calculator didn't work very well on my phone. If the
Speaker 2: average employee, the federal government average employeelet's say, make sixty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year, is that about right if.
Speaker 3: You look at and maybe more than that, because that's
Speaker 3: a good job to be a FED employee.
Speaker 2: And there's seventy five thousand federal employees have already accepted
Speaker 2: the deal. What is seventy five thousand times sixty thousand?
Speaker 2: Because someone do the math on that.
Speaker 3: Your calculator brank on. No, it just doesn't work. It
Speaker 3: shows error, and I just you know, it's just it's
Speaker 3: my iPhone.
Speaker 6: Care.
Speaker 5: What did you say? Seventy five thousand times.
Speaker 2: Seventy five thousand times sixty thousand.
Speaker 5: Four point five billion?
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, so far four point five billion dollars. That's
Speaker 2: a chunk of money, and they're going to be more.
Speaker 2: And if people do not sign up for this, the
Speaker 2: risk is they're going to simply be fired under the
Speaker 2: new Musk orient No, under the Musk managed DOGE where
Speaker 2: they're trying to really cut down on spending. Well, there's
Speaker 2: four point five billion dollars right there. So that's we're
Speaker 2: going to talk about that a lot.
Speaker 3: As you can imagine.
Speaker 6: Oh, I see what's wrong. I can see your calculator
Speaker 6: from here. It's upside down. It's it says boobies. Bill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 7: Elon Musk calls for US government to delete entire agencies.
Speaker 6: He went on to say that he thinks.
Speaker 7: We need to delete entire agencies as opposed to leaving
Speaker 7: part of them behind, and then gives the analogy of
Speaker 7: like a weed. He says, if you don't remove the
Speaker 7: roots of the weed, that it's easy for the weed
Speaker 7: to grow back. So he says there's just some departments
Speaker 7: that instead of trimming, you just need to get rid of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, education is going to be gotten rid of.
Speaker 2: Trump said, the Education secretary is there to undo. Also,
Speaker 2: let me ask a question, if the government got rid
Speaker 2: of the department that sets up those lecterns and microphones
Speaker 2: at various locations, would anybody hear that.
Speaker 3: These agencies are going to be dismantled.
Speaker 7: I don't know the answer to that is that, like
Speaker 7: if a signed company goes on strike, like what do
Speaker 7: they hold?
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Elon Musk, he's getting a big defense contract.
Speaker 4: He's prompted another backlash online after it was revealed that
Speaker 4: his rocket company SpaceX is still getting multimillion dollar contracts
Speaker 4: from the US government while he's working two slash trillions
Speaker 4: of dollars from the federal budget.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean that is an accusation. That is a
Speaker 3: complete croc.
Speaker 2: When he was asked in the Oval Office, is there
Speaker 2: a conflict here amongst your companies that have contracts with
Speaker 2: the federal government, he said, no, there aren't.
Speaker 3: Therefore we know there aren't.
Speaker 2: Because he said it, and I think the President backed
Speaker 2: that up. No conflict, no conflict, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: There's no conflict.
Speaker 7: And then he looked at President Trump said I think
Speaker 7: that person just said Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 2: Certain, I think so, and Trump handed him a contract
Speaker 2: at the time and said, this is not a conflict.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy stuff.
Speaker 7: We'll tag this on really quickly before we go to
Speaker 7: a break. You're gonna love this bill because tagging on
Speaker 7: to that you know, every I guess every now and
Speaker 7: again they put out these forecasts. The government puts out
Speaker 7: these forecasts talk about the companies that they're partnering with
Speaker 7: in the future and the cost.
Speaker 6: While the State.
Speaker 7: Department was planning to buy four hundred million worth of
Speaker 7: armored Tesla's later this year, according to that twenty twenty
Speaker 7: five procurear procurement forecast, and all of a sudden, the
Speaker 7: document that said that they were going to buy them
Speaker 7: from Tesla has been changed, and now it just says
Speaker 7: that they're going to buy four hundred thousand or four
Speaker 7: hundred million worth of electric armored vehicles, but doesn't mention Tesla.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder who made that call. I do not
Speaker 2: think it is Marco Rubio, who's head of the State Department.
Speaker 3: I think it was lower down on the management level.
Speaker 6: We'll see.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm prognosticating here. I don't know the answer
Speaker 3: of that, just guessing, all right.
Speaker 4: New York's being accused of playing favorites. The Trump administration
Speaker 4: has sued New York over its immigration policies and accused
Speaker 4: state officials of prioritizing or favoring illegal aliens over US citizens.
Speaker 4: Attorney General Pam Bondi said. She cited New York's green
Speaker 4: light law, which allows people in the state to get
Speaker 4: a driver license regardless of citizenship or legal status, and
Speaker 4: she said, you know what that's stopping. It stops today,
Speaker 4: and then other stuff as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now I can see that philosophy. Okay, we don't
Speaker 3: want illegal migrants to get driver's license, but how does that.
Speaker 2: Favor illegal migrants and somehow take away from the rights
Speaker 2: of US citizens?
Speaker 3: Having a hard time putting that together.
Speaker 2: Is allowing migrants By the way, I'll tell you, I
Speaker 2: happen to like the idea of illegal migrants getting driver's
Speaker 2: license because they are tested at least at least some
Speaker 2: official right, some examiner jumps in the car with them
Speaker 2: and looks to see if they know how to drive.
Speaker 2: So that to me is simply a question of safety.
Speaker 2: For me, I'd rather have someone illegal or not have
Speaker 2: a driver's license.
Speaker 3: Because they've been tested at least to some extent. Does
Speaker 3: that make sense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, just and you know that's outside of the morality,
Speaker 2: outside of the law, outside of a political position.
Speaker 3: It's just I don't want to get hit by people
Speaker 3: who have no insurance.
Speaker 6: What do you assume they don't know how to drive.
Speaker 2: I'm not assuming they know how to drive, but I'll
Speaker 2: tell you if they test, then I know that they
Speaker 2: do know how to drive to some extent.
Speaker 3: That's the difference. You look at it two different ways.
Speaker 6: I'll do that.
Speaker 3: So I just don't see how you know. The only
Speaker 3: thing I can see is American citizens that are at
Speaker 3: risk because they're illegal migrants in the country. And I
Speaker 3: don't see that either.
Speaker 2: I mean, there are if you've got bad ones, but
Speaker 2: you've got bad anybody. If you have bad tourists that
Speaker 2: commit crimes, or let's get rid of tourists, it's you know,
Speaker 2: there's bad people, no matter what happens.
Speaker 6: Already the site.
Speaker 7: Telsea Gabbart sworn in as Director of National Intelligence. This
Speaker 7: was pretty contentious. She's the next Director of National Intelligence.
Speaker 7: Fifty two to forty eight vote. She was sworn in
Speaker 7: hours later there at the Oval Office. But man, that
Speaker 7: confirmation hearing, I mean, they've all been pretty intense.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but she.
Speaker 7: Got from both sides, and even some Republicans jumped on
Speaker 7: all about.
Speaker 2: But in the end they vote for her along party lines,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: You don't screw with President Trump.
Speaker 2: If you don't vote the way he wants you to vote,
Speaker 2: you're primaried out.
Speaker 3: You're done.
Speaker 2: You're done as a senator, you're done as a corongoss person,
Speaker 2: as a Republican, you're gone. And so you have even
Speaker 2: Bill Cassidy, who is a senator, who is a doctor,
Speaker 2: who headed the vaccine who headed the vaccine program in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: That was his program, and he ripped into Robert Kennedy,
Speaker 2: ripped into him.
Speaker 3: And you know what he did.
Speaker 2: He voted in favor in the end, he voted in
Speaker 2: favor because Trump said, you're primary and out, and they
Speaker 2: care far more about their political position. We're talking both sides.
Speaker 2: By the way, Democrats and Republicans, they care far more
Speaker 2: about their political positions and getting re elected than they
Speaker 2: do for the good of the country.
Speaker 3: Good of the country is down number three or four.
Speaker 3: It's really very depressing, very depressing.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, by the way, she's best friends with Bashar
Speaker 2: al Asade, right, he talked about she talked about how
Speaker 2: great Putin is. It's just only Mitch McConnell voted no
Speaker 2: because he's retiring and he doesn't care. And those are
Speaker 2: the only people that would vote no. And there are
Speaker 2: plenty of Republicans that well, several that are retiring.
Speaker 3: And they still vote for Trump. They vote for Trump's
Speaker 3: candidate nominee.
Speaker 4: All Right, Trump and President Putin had a good talk
Speaker 4: yesterday and are going to start negotiations aimed at ending
Speaker 4: the war in Ukraine. Trump said that he and Putin
Speaker 4: talked for over an hour, and then he also talked
Speaker 4: to Ukraine's President Zelensky yesterday, and then Trump said, I
Speaker 4: think President Putin wants peace. President Zelensky wants peace, and
Speaker 4: I want peace. I just want to see people stop
Speaker 4: being killed.
Speaker 3: I agree that they all want peace.
Speaker 2: But Putin's idea of peace is taking some of Ukraine's land,
Speaker 2: saying that it is his and believing it.
Speaker 3: It's not just arbitrary.
Speaker 2: He has thought that that part of the Ukraine don Bass,
Speaker 2: the don Bass region eastern Ukraine has always been part
Speaker 2: of Russia, which it was for hundreds of years, and
Speaker 2: does Zelenski wants to keep that land. And Trump is
Speaker 2: effectively saying, we got to come to some kind of deal.
Speaker 2: And my question is who thinks the other side is
Speaker 2: the evil empire? How about both of them? Putin and
Speaker 2: Trump think the evil Empire is over there, maybe not
Speaker 2: so much. Yeah, anyway, let's move on there. And they're
Speaker 2: very well. Maybe peace because in reality is that the
Speaker 2: United States has enormous power, particularly military power, which it's
Speaker 2: probably not going to use, but financial power, economic power
Speaker 2: that is a juggernaut. And Trump's taking advantage of that
Speaker 2: where other presidents have not to move to his idea
Speaker 2: of foreign policy, which is very important to him. Trump
Speaker 2: doesn't care about a lot of stuff. He doesn't care
Speaker 2: about the state.
Speaker 6: Phil He doesn't want peace. He wants a peace. Oh strong,
Speaker 6: very good, very good communication.
Speaker 7: Eric. Everyone deserves TLC on Valentine's Day, and that includes
Speaker 7: our little furry friends. So if you're looking for love
Speaker 7: this well that doesn't come out right looking for love
Speaker 7: this Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3: That's illegal. I think i'ds illegal, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Know your audience.
Speaker 7: I just as I said that and realized I was
Speaker 7: on the Handle show, I'm like best friends. Animal Society
Speaker 7: is giving Angelinos, that's all of us good people the
Speaker 7: chance to fall for a new furry friend with free
Speaker 7: adoptions and special Valentine's Day sleepovers from February fourteenth to seventeen.
Speaker 7: So if you want a lifelong companion, that would be great.
Speaker 7: It's a no kill shelter, or just what to share
Speaker 7: the weekend of love with a shelter pet.
Speaker 6: This is a great way to do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at the numbers. Look how spectacular these numbers were.
Speaker 2: This organization was found in nineteen eighty four. At that time,
Speaker 2: seventeen million animals were euthanized per year in the US.
Speaker 2: It is down to four hundred and fifteen thousand animals euthanized.
Speaker 2: There are so many no kill shelters, and a lot
Speaker 2: of those four hundred and fifteen are dogs and cats
Speaker 2: that are really old and have some real problems that
Speaker 2: should be euthanized.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, we put down our dog. God, that really
Speaker 3: did kill me.
Speaker 2: But she had been, you know, eaten by a coyote
Speaker 2: or partially eaten, and there was just no issue.
Speaker 7: So some of them were fiance Lindsay refers to you
Speaker 7: as a rescue.
Speaker 3: I think, ye sweet, Yeah, thank you hello for that. Yeah. No,
Speaker 3: let's move on.
Speaker 6: I get it this thing on.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, monkeying around in Florida. Good, get you an STD.
Speaker 3: See there we go again. Hold on a minute, there's
Speaker 3: Neil again. You've got what very careful about? Who are
Speaker 3: what you shuop? Okay, she knows. Okay, I'm sorry I
Speaker 3: interrupted you Please go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 4: So in Florida they have these Reesis monkeys that originally
Speaker 4: came over because some guy had a glass bottom boat
Speaker 4: business and he had some monkeys, and of course they
Speaker 4: escaped and or they released the monkeys actually to attract tourists,
Speaker 4: so they'd have them on this island. They could go
Speaker 4: to the island and go, hey, you guys, check that
Speaker 4: out there, there's monkeys on the island. Well, the monkeys
Speaker 4: did what monkeys do, and then there were like five
Speaker 4: hundred of them. Now there are about one hundred and ninety.
Speaker 4: But aside from the environmental concerns of how the monkeys
Speaker 4: are affecting the ecosystem on the island, they're posing a
Speaker 4: threat to public health because Reesis maccoques in Florida have
Speaker 4: tested positive for herpes.
Speaker 2: Quick question, what was the disease where The argument was
Speaker 2: in Africa having sex with monkeys or chimpanzees. You mean
Speaker 2: remember that not fraudulently but no, no, I mean it
Speaker 2: was there was age. Yes, the argument was that it
Speaker 2: started with people having sex with monkeys, men having sex
Speaker 2: with monkeys. Now, I want to point something out physiologically.
Speaker 2: If Riesei's monkeys are pretty small, if a man is
Speaker 2: having sex with a Reese's monkey on the cac don't
Speaker 2: those monkeys explode?
Speaker 3: All right, let's just move on.
Speaker 5: That is not an image I needed to.
Speaker 3: I know that was for you, Michelle.
Speaker 5: Why I don't work on the show anymore.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a visual. Okay, I think we can do
Speaker 3: another one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7: I'm just trying to put a little breath between that
Speaker 7: and a Disney story. So Disney has become the latest
Speaker 7: company to change its policies. This is of course, dealing
Speaker 7: with diversity, equity, and inclusion amid the federal government pressure
Speaker 7: to eliminate these programs. Interestingly enough, I'm not sure how
Speaker 7: much this changes. So if you remember those sort of
Speaker 7: controversial AutoPlay advisory disclaimers, that would be that were introduced
Speaker 7: by Disney in twenty nineteen. So if you're streaming something
Speaker 7: on Disney Plus like Dumbo or Peter Pan, it would
Speaker 7: say negative depictions and or mistreatment of peoples or.
Speaker 6: Cultures before it would play well.
Speaker 7: The new advisory now says this program is presented as
Speaker 7: originally created and may contain stereotypes or negative depictions.
Speaker 4: It doesn't say what they are though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't understand, you know, what's the difference
Speaker 2: between the two. It seems like the disclaimer is the
Speaker 2: same to me, I'm going to interpret it as the same.
Speaker 5: Well, it's all semantics, right, it's just words.
Speaker 7: Yeah, But I think actually it's I think the second
Speaker 7: one is a little more powerful, calling them stereotypes or
Speaker 7: negative depictions.
