Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: There's four answers that you have to answer for the
Speaker 2: state bar. There are two that are kind of right
Speaker 2: that it's not going to be completely right, but mostly right.
Speaker 2: Then there is one that is more right than the
Speaker 2: other two, and then the top one, which is the
Speaker 2: most right. And sometimes they are so close that if
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty percent of the people answer one way
Speaker 2: or the other, they throw.
Speaker 1: Out the question and now Handle on the news. Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 3: And good morning everybody.
Speaker 2: By the way, that promo was me yesterday describing the
Speaker 2: multiple choice part of the bar exam that is being changed.
Speaker 3: The bar exam is just.
Speaker 2: I have to admit I'm a pretty good test taker.
Speaker 2: I never had problems with tests. That one was a bitch,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: I know it sounds like you're rambling on that promo,
Speaker 4: but it did make sense. There's so nuanced that exactly ye,
Speaker 4: we'll get it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it's exactly correct.
Speaker 5: Then they just go throwing it out.
Speaker 2: The only thing that saved my ass during the taking
Speaker 2: of the bar was I was high on cocaine the
Speaker 2: entire time.
Speaker 3: And I was.
Speaker 2: I became president of alumni association for law school, and
Speaker 2: I would go to colleges and people would ask Bill,
Speaker 2: is the bar exams as hard as they say? I go, yeah,
Speaker 2: so how did you prepare for the bar exam? Cocaine?
Speaker 2: Lots and lots of cocaine. So they asked me to
Speaker 2: leave that position. They'd rather not have someone representing the
Speaker 2: school telling college students to store the cocaine to take
Speaker 2: the bar.
Speaker 4: But to your point, yes, what happened to that school
Speaker 4: that you graduated from?
Speaker 3: It went out of business?
Speaker 5: Okay, just that's what I thought.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is now defunct, and not because it was
Speaker 2: a terrible law school, which it was, but it was
Speaker 2: because school has become so insanely expensive law school and
Speaker 2: the job opportunities out there are much feward than they
Speaker 2: were because you know, lawyers have just priced themselves out.
Speaker 2: Now you go to Harvard, you go to any of
Speaker 2: the big schools. It's the UCLA even or Stanford. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, high sc and you come out near the
Speaker 2: top of the class, you're going to.
Speaker 3: Get a job, a good job.
Speaker 2: But for the rest of it, and the only reason
Speaker 2: I went out on my own and I started practicing
Speaker 2: the day I finished I passed the bar. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, I actually started practicing before I was
Speaker 2: licensed to be a lawyer.
Speaker 3: I was involved, and we had to post date.
Speaker 2: Some of the documents because a few of them went
Speaker 2: out before I was sworn in. So anyway, I had
Speaker 2: to go out on my own because no one would hire.
Speaker 3: Me, of course.
Speaker 5: Not you're a walking problem.
Speaker 3: No kidding, no kidding. All right, good morning for one
Speaker 3: and all amy. Good morning, Hi Bill. Oh you're nice
Speaker 3: and crispy, bright pink this morning. It's not you know, it's.
Speaker 2: Okay, sort of reddish, pinkish, Yeah, okay, fair enough. And
Speaker 2: there's a cono in his hat and sort of a
Speaker 2: dirty gray T shirt. It looks somewhat like a homeless person.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Cono.
Speaker 5: It's not dirty.
Speaker 3: Oh it's gray. You can't tell.
Speaker 5: It's very clean.
Speaker 2: It's it's gray. You can't tell, ConA. It looks dirty
Speaker 2: because it's it's a dingy gray.
Speaker 5: It's not. It's great, just more of a Heather Gray.

Speaker 4: And he did a version of ALFREDY Newman as the
Speaker 4: Frank Frankenstein's monster.

Speaker 2: We do radio and no one can see that? And
Speaker 2: Will is will around? He is not, oh okay, because

Speaker 3: in Will's studio or outside.
Speaker 6: The some if he was here, he would be on.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: A little confusing, All right, guys, what a way to
Speaker 2: start the show, complete confusion forgetting ALFREDY Newman's name and
Speaker 2: talking about my now defunct law school.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're done, guys. Certainly with the introductions in the morning.
Speaker 3: Are you guys ready to do it for or handle
Speaker 3: on the news? Yeah, okay, let's do it. Amy, Neil
Speaker 3: and me lead stories.
Speaker 5: Well, here we go.
Speaker 2: Trump turned around and once again sort of kind of
Speaker 2: changed his mind. So yesterday he said the one hundred
Speaker 2: and forty five percent tariff, well, okay, let's not make
Speaker 2: it one hundred and forty five percent tariff.
Speaker 3: We're going to lower the tariff.
Speaker 2: We don't know when we're going to lower the terraff
Speaker 2: or I'm going to lower the teniff tariff, but it's
Speaker 2: going to be less than one hundred and forty five
Speaker 2: because it is a little high, but it's.
Speaker 3: Going to be more than zero.
Speaker 2: Just everybody is really, I mean, no one has any
Speaker 2: idea the changes are being made. I mean, hour by hour,
Speaker 2: the world markets are going crazy. The IMF said, we're
Speaker 2: the global economy is being affected by all of this.
Speaker 2: Consumer confidence is the worst that it's been in decades.
Speaker 2: I mean, no, that's not true. Worse that it's been
Speaker 2: since the pandemic, and it is. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 2: just crazy. And the exemptions, right, he calls one hundred
Speaker 2: and forty five percent exemptions except for the top tech TVs,
Speaker 2: you know, phones, computer chips, of course, having nothing to
Speaker 2: do whatsoever with Bezos or Bezos and Zuckerberg and everybody
Speaker 2: cowtowing up to him. Those are the industries that have
Speaker 2: been exempted and completely under the one hundred and forty
Speaker 2: five percent tariff. And now it's just up in the air.
Speaker 2: And he has said, well, China is coming to the table.
Speaker 2: She is telling him to go pound sand.
Speaker 4: G is saying yes, but he's telling him at the table.
Speaker 4: He's coming to the table and tell him go pound sand.
Speaker 3: And he's and she's not even coming to the table.
Speaker 3: He's just the room.
Speaker 5: He's never gonna budge, Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: No, she's ever and and Trump is gonna blink and blink.
Speaker 2: And of course he's describing all that as a win.
Speaker 2: It's all a win. You know.
Speaker 3: I had to come back on the tariffs. It's a win.
Speaker 2: I had to exempt certain industries. That's a win for us.
Speaker 2: The fact that g somehow is telling us to go
Speaker 2: pound sand, that's a win for us.
Speaker 3: It's I don't even where to go.
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, I was talking to Savill, my partner,
Speaker 2: yesterday about our business.
Speaker 3: We stopped it cold.
Speaker 2: We have products in China that we're not letting ship,
Speaker 2: and they're stopping shipping too. And there was a meeting
Speaker 2: at the White House with the executives of Home Depot
Speaker 2: and Walmart saying to Trump, this is going to kill us.
Speaker 2: This is going to wipe out our business. We're gonna
Speaker 2: have empty store shelves if this this tearoff continues.
Speaker 3: Just gone.
Speaker 2: Salvlle and I were talking about our business. He's been
Speaker 2: doing it for forty years. This continues on. We close
Speaker 2: the doors, as hundreds of thousands of other businesses would
Speaker 2: do so.
Speaker 3: So you know, but it's gonna be good for the
Speaker 3: United States. It's gonna be good, like the pandemic was good.
Speaker 5: All right, all right.
Speaker 4: Russia launched it's deadly as unfortunately, wave of attacks against
Speaker 4: Ukraine's capital nine months. In nine months, I mean early
Speaker 4: today in the wee, hours after US President Donald Trump
Speaker 4: accused of Vladimir Zelensky of harming peace talks in a
Speaker 4: fresh ti rate against the Ukrainian counterpart. There, Moscow sent
Speaker 4: seventy missiles one hundred and forty five drones towards Ukraine,
Speaker 4: mainly targeting Kiev. And right now you're looking at least
Speaker 4: eight people killed in the boat.
Speaker 5: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: What's going on here, unfortunately, is the Trump administration is
Speaker 2: pushing very very hard for a peace deal, just laying
Speaker 2: into Zelensky saying Vance saying, if you don't sign this
Speaker 2: peace deal, the United States is going to walk away.
Speaker 3: And the peace deal.
Speaker 2: That the United States is in fact advocating is exactly
Speaker 2: what Russia wants. Russia has taken from Ukraine, Ukraine doesn't
Speaker 2: get into NATO at all, precisely what Russia wants. So
Speaker 2: Putin is saying, oh, yeah, we'll sign this. So Lensky said,
Speaker 2: we can't give up the land. It's against the constitution.
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I don't have the ability to
Speaker 2: sit down with Russia and say you can have Ukrainian land.
Speaker 2: And so it's gonna be tough if Europe doesn't pick
Speaker 2: up the.
Speaker 3: Arms to Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Ukraine is well, Ukraine will be two thirds size, Russia
Speaker 2: will have one third of it.
Speaker 5: I think Europe will come to the table.
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 2: I think so, although they're not letting in Ukraine and NATO,
Speaker 2: that is not happening.
Speaker 3: It doesn't it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. In
Speaker 3: the near future, and they're cow taling to Putin on
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 2: Putin's saying that if Ukraine gets in a NATO, it's
Speaker 2: an act of wars. So what's Putin gonna do go
Speaker 2: to war with NATO? Is that go to war war
Speaker 2: twenty seven countries? Yeah, anyway, it's unfortunate. I think Ukraine
Speaker 2: is effectively gone with the.
Speaker 3: Help of the United States. That's the heartbreaker here, Okay,
Speaker 3: fun part of the new popery.
Speaker 6: Someone wants to be in the room where it happens.
Speaker 6: A cardinal convicted of financial crimes by the Vatican says
Speaker 6: he can be part of the conclave even though he's
Speaker 6: listed as a non electorate. It's Cardinal Giovanni and Jello.
Speaker 6: Bet you, I don't know if I said that, right.
Speaker 6: He was one of the most powerful figures at the Vatican.
Speaker 6: But then in twenty twenty, Pope Francis ordered him to
Speaker 6: resign the rights and privileges of a cardinal after he
Speaker 6: got embroiled in a Vatican financial scandal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was convicted of embezzlement and fraud, convicted by
Speaker 2: a Vatican court. Why would Francis not just Defrockham right there?
Speaker 3: Goodbye?
Speaker 2: Done Nope, and he's claiming because he wasn't and he's
Speaker 2: still a cardinal and his conviction is on appeal.
Speaker 3: He's gonna sit in and vote for the new pope.
Speaker 3: Don't know, We'll see what happens.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing no, yeah, why would they.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that.
Speaker 2: You know, the farah Kevin Ferrell, the consiglieri who is
Speaker 2: running the place in absence of the Godfather, who is
Speaker 2: in charge of the voting.
Speaker 3: He's actually a carme lango, but it's close. Dual lingo, yeah,
Speaker 3: du a lingo.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He speaks same. By the way, he does speak several languages.
Speaker 2: Pharaoh speaks English, he speaks Italian, he speaks Spanish. He
Speaker 2: even speaks Gaelic Irish Gaelic. Because he came from Ilin
Speaker 2: became a US citizen, so he is considered an American cardinal,
Speaker 2: and he's handling the whole thing. He's the one that
Speaker 2: he's the one that taps the pope, the dead Pope's
Speaker 2: forehead with a silver hammer and asks are you alive,
Speaker 2: are you alive? Or you're alive three times and then
Speaker 2: declares the Pope is dead. Pope is dead, and then
Speaker 2: crushes the ring, you know, with a hammer. And here's
Speaker 2: an interesting one is that, uh, the the death certificate
Speaker 2: of anybody has to be issued by the Italian government.
Speaker 2: There is also a death certificate issued by the Vatican
Speaker 2: in the in case of the pope dying or when
Speaker 2: the pope dies.
Speaker 3: So there's two death certificate, one Vatican, the other one
Speaker 3: is the is the official one. Kind of fun, it really.
Speaker 5: Is one on it.
Speaker 3: That's a good point. No, it's yeah, it's just fascinating.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to get in this really some fun
Speaker 2: stuff coming up at seven twenty. And that is how
Speaker 2: Francis is going to be named a saint.
Speaker 3: Guaranteed he's going to be sainted.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you all the rules of canon's a canonization, canonization.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, wow.
Speaker 5: The five thousand.
Speaker 4: Dollars of five thousand dollars rather could be given to
Speaker 4: every American mother after giving birth, with President Donald Trump
Speaker 4: saying that he liked the sound of that concept. He
Speaker 4: said it's a good idea to him when he was
Speaker 4: asked about it this week. Trump has not made a
Speaker 4: final decision on the proposal. It obviously needs to be
Speaker 4: approved by Congress to materialize, but that's that's being floated
Speaker 4: right now, five thousand bucks baby bonus check if.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a reason for it, because the birth rate
Speaker 2: in the United States is falling p pitouslee and it's
Speaker 2: going to be a net loss. The only reason that
Speaker 2: we're not hemorrhaging population is because of immigration coming in.
Speaker 2: So five thousand dollars if that's put into law, and
Speaker 2: if you look at the twenty twenty three numbers of
Speaker 2: the berths in the US, the government would be spending
Speaker 2: eighteen billion dollars to pay moms five grand.
Speaker 6: Dick Durbin's done. The longtime second ranking Democrat in the Senate,
Speaker 6: Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has announced his plans to retire
Speaker 6: at the end of next year. He said, the decision
Speaker 6: of whether to run for reelection is not easy. I
Speaker 6: love the job of being a United States Senator, but
Speaker 6: in my heart, I know it's time to pass the torch.
Speaker 6: He's eighty, He's been expected to step aside for a while.
Speaker 6: He's served in the chamber since nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2: I think four of the five senators who have announced
Speaker 2: their retirements are Democrat, which is going to make it
Speaker 2: even harder for the Democrats to take the Senate. Doesn't
Speaker 2: look like that's gonna happen anytime soon.
Speaker 6: Well do you blame him?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 6: They've got the new young group is saying hey, we're
Speaker 6: coming after you. I mean like they're rallying the troops
Speaker 6: and organizing, saying we're going after the older guys.
Speaker 2: Right, But at the same time you still have the
Speaker 2: power brokers in line. Mitch McConnell, for example, who gave
Speaker 2: up the majority in this case, Well it was a minority,
Speaker 2: but majority the majority position and gave it to Thune,
Speaker 2: a much younger guy.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, when you're eighty, how far and
Speaker 3: how long do you keep on going?
Speaker 5: Okay, ask ourselves that every day, sir.
Speaker 3: No kidding, Thank you for that, all right.
Speaker 4: Tennis legend Andre Agassy is set to make his pro
Speaker 4: debut in another record sport next week when he takes
Speaker 4: part in the US Open Pickleball Championship. He's going to
Speaker 4: do this alongside the sports number one player. Her name
Speaker 4: is Anna Lee Waters and she's eighteen years old. So
Speaker 4: I guess this takes place on Aprol thirtieth, and he's
Speaker 4: going to partake in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can bet on it. Now, the game
Speaker 3: is fixed. You know that it's a racket. It's just not.
Speaker 5: What I have to have balls to make that joke.
Speaker 3: Okay, enough of that.
Speaker 6: Finding a safe space. So the wife of the guy
Speaker 6: from El Salvador who was living in Maryland and then
Speaker 6: got swept up in that ice raid and was deported
Speaker 6: down to El Salvador. And that's the one that everybody's
Speaker 6: The people are going down and visiting, The senators and
Speaker 6: lawmakers are going down and visiting, and it's kilmar Abrego Garcia. Well,
Speaker 6: his wife now says that she is moving or has
Speaker 6: moved to a safe house because the Trump administration posted
Speaker 6: a court document that included her address on social media.
Speaker 6: The document was a protective order. I believe that she
Speaker 6: filed in twenty two.
Speaker 3: Yes, she did.
Speaker 2: Against him for domestic violence, and they're using that to
Speaker 2: establish that he is a bad guy and deserves to
Speaker 2: be deported.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So it's got her address on it, and she
Speaker 6: says she doesn't feel safe, and so she's moved the
Speaker 6: Department of Homeland Security said, these are public documents that
Speaker 6: anyone could get access to.
Speaker 2: Do we know if there was a governmental agency that
Speaker 2: was involved in moving her local police department or the
Speaker 2: state or the county, or is it just on her own?
Speaker 5: Where else do you get a safe house?
Speaker 2: Well, it could be that she just moved and they're
Speaker 2: calling it a quote safe house.
Speaker 4: And that's I don't know, that's dishonest if they use
Speaker 4: the term safe house instead, she's.
Speaker 2: The story does not tell us whether she did it
Speaker 2: on her own or whether they're is some kind of
Speaker 2: governmental entity in doing that.
Speaker 5: Well, she felt safe enough to be with a guy
Speaker 5: who hit her, clearly, all right.
Speaker 4: For four months, Los Angeles City officials we've talked about
Speaker 4: this here, had an outside contractor. They worked to ensure
Speaker 4: the Santae Naz Reservoir, that one hundred and seventeen million
Speaker 4: gallon water complex. It's right there in the heart of
Speaker 4: Pacific Palisades. They were talking about it returning into service
Speaker 4: by early May. It had, as you remember, not been
Speaker 4: in use for a year or so. It was emptied
Speaker 4: because it had some holes in the cover. Actually, well
Speaker 4: they apparently repaired it, then filled it back up, and
Speaker 4: then found more tears and pinhole size leaks on this
Speaker 4: floating cover.
Speaker 5: So now they have to dream it again.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm wondering I think it'll repair. Are the terrors?
Speaker 2: What do pinhole size leaks have to do with shutting
Speaker 2: it down? Okay, I mean you would think pinhole size leaks.
Speaker 2: I mean that's like nothing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So our pool here is not a big pool.
Speaker 4: It's like twelve by twenty four. We have a cover
Speaker 4: on it, right, an automatic cover. It gets pinhole leaks,
Speaker 4: the water ends up coming up from it and then
Speaker 4: evaporating on the top, and you end up losing you
Speaker 4: know how much. Yeah, you lose a tie up to
Speaker 4: where we have to keep getting it replaced. All right,
Speaker 4: So I mean because it so, I'm all, I can
Speaker 4: only imagine that that's the issue, because otherwise I don't
Speaker 4: know is it contaminated that way or No?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 3: this is drinking water.
Speaker 2: Uh, this is clearly fire suppressant, a fire suppressant system.
Speaker 3: All right, now, let's go ahead and take a break.
Speaker 2: And I didn't know that. I thought pinhole leaks to
Speaker 2: don't mean anything. But okay, I'll buy that that resonates.
Speaker 6: No, we're sleeping on the streets. The La City Council
Speaker 6: voted eleven to two in favor of expanding a policy
Speaker 6: to prevent the homeless from sleeping in certain public spaces.
Speaker 6: The ordinance also prohibits people from sitting, lying down, or
Speaker 6: keeping belongings in designated areas. There's already some areas in place.
Speaker 6: It's now extending to Superior Street and Daring Avenues in Chatsworth.
Speaker 6: The people, though, before they get in trouble, are supposed
Speaker 6: to get an advanced notice before their camp area is cleared,
Speaker 6: and also be offered help in finding shelter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has to be an insurmountable problem. I just
Speaker 2: don't get where the answer is. Certainly, I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody can disagree with you have to keep people off
Speaker 2: the streets if possible, and put them in the shelters
Speaker 2: if possible. A couple of things though, there are people
Speaker 2: that won't go in the shelters. There's a good chunk
Speaker 2: of these people who are mentally ill.
Speaker 3: Uh And we don't know.
Speaker 2: The exact proportion, but there's a really good chunk. I've
Speaker 2: heard as much as a third. Then you have people
Speaker 2: that have dogs that have pets. You can't go into
Speaker 2: shelter with a pet, and so what do they do
Speaker 2: do they give up their pet? They don't, and so
Speaker 2: they're not going to get off the street. At the
Speaker 2: same time, I don't want anybody living on the street.
Speaker 2: When I lived at the Persian Palace, I'd get off
Speaker 2: the freeway and then I would have to turn left
Speaker 2: onto my street on the on ramp and then turn
Speaker 2: left and I would have to go under the underpass.
Speaker 2: And under that underpass was an encampment that went literally
Speaker 2: from one corner to the other to the other corner
Speaker 2: of the overpass. Filled it up and they brought in
Speaker 2: a bathroom, well bathsroom. They bought a port a potty.
Speaker 2: The city did, and it was It was horrible. It
Speaker 2: was horrible, trash beyond anything you can image.
Speaker 5: Joking. That's everywhere here. That's everywhere here where I live.
Speaker 3: Of course, because that's where you live.
Speaker 2: Know, there are some of us that actually live an
Speaker 2: areas that aren't your area, where you have not only
Speaker 2: do you have homeless people that you're friends with. Everybody
Speaker 2: you make friends of, the rats, they're pets of yours.
Speaker 5: You know, it's even worse.
Speaker 4: I'm surrounded by hipsters and you can't tell what's a
Speaker 4: hipster and what's a homeless.
Speaker 5: It's rough out here.
Speaker 4: Homeless by that except by the five thousand dollars mac laptop.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Helps, But they didn't say who they two were that voted.
Speaker 5: It against it.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think they did.
Speaker 5: No, I didn't see it because they live on the street.
Speaker 3: Probably.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, it's time for you to leave American
Speaker 4: and go where. One night this month, Los Angeles immigration attorney,
Speaker 4: what are the odds? Harriet Steele opened her email to
Speaker 4: a notice from the Department of Homeland and Securio says
Speaker 4: it's time for you to leave the United States. And
Speaker 4: she was confused, obviously a little concerned. She's a US citizen,
Speaker 4: she was born in Los Angeles, but she thought maybe
Speaker 4: the email was meant for a client, But sure enough,
Speaker 4: it was meant for her.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, some people are receiving these thinking that if somebody
Speaker 4: put a fake email down, or someone else's email, or
Speaker 4: and they're just going out.
Speaker 2: It's I know people, and I speak to people American
Speaker 2: citizens born in this country who are genuinely afraid of
Speaker 2: being deported. And I asked your question to where where
Speaker 2: do you deport someone who is an American citizen? Maybe
Speaker 2: l Salvador, Because the government of l Salvador is taking
Speaker 2: prisoners for pay.
Speaker 3: The US is paying l Salvador.
Speaker 4: As an American citizen, that they're going to get deported.
Speaker 3: They are genuinely frightened.
Speaker 2: Well, here is a dhs on notification saying it's time
Speaker 2: for you to leave the United States, an official document
Speaker 2: from the government of the United States to a US citizen,
Speaker 2: it's time for you to leave. Now, I'm assuming that
Speaker 2: you know they they've stopped those Those are mistakes. But
Speaker 2: the same thing happened to Abrego. That was a mistake
Speaker 2: deporting him.
Speaker 4: Yes, but he's not he wasn't born in the United States.
Speaker 3: No, I understand. I'm not arguing that.
Speaker 2: All I'm saying I'm going to the mistakes being made
Speaker 2: by the government and you're.
Speaker 4: Legally what I'd be concerned, yes, but as an American citizen, no,
Speaker 4: of course not.
Speaker 3: Of course. I mean I tell these people that's impossible.
Speaker 3: But that's not the point.
Speaker 2: The point is the fear factor, and this administration doubles down.
Speaker 2: It does not come back even when it makes a mistake.
Speaker 3: That's the problem. Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 6: One man's fine and is another company's tariff. The European
Speaker 6: Union has fined Apple and Meta combined seven hundred and
Speaker 6: ninety seven million dollars or seven hundred million euros because
Speaker 6: they say that the two companies messed with a digital
Speaker 6: competition law. Joel Kaplan, who is Meta's chief Global affairs officer,
Speaker 6: criticized the decision, says, this isn't a fine. The Commission
Speaker 6: is forcing us to change our business model, effectively imposing
Speaker 6: a multi billion dollar tariff on Meta while requiring us
Speaker 6: to offer an inferior service to customers.
Speaker 2: Now, let's spend a second talking about what Meta is
Speaker 2: saying and how ridiculous it is. They're saying, what Europe
Speaker 2: is doing is making it more difficult for Meta to
Speaker 2: do business in Europe because Europe demands other criteria. So
Speaker 2: let's say an American car manufacturer wants to sell in Europe,
Speaker 2: and in Europe you have to have different sized tires
Speaker 2: because that's the law. How dare you get in the
Speaker 2: way of us selling to you and you impose your
Speaker 2: rules on us. That's what Meta is saying. But what
Speaker 2: that's effective to attacks, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: It's if you're.
Speaker 2: Selling here, you have to follow our rules, and if
Speaker 2: we have different rules, which Europe does as far as
Speaker 2: online and advertising online and keeping data, they have different rules. Okay,
Speaker 2: so they have different rules. So what you sell the
Speaker 2: candidate's different, you sell the South America is different.
Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of a silly argument.
Speaker 3: It is a stupid argument.
Speaker 2: You know. Let us you get stop your stop your
Speaker 2: rules that get in the way of us selling to
Speaker 2: your country, because that's unfair in its attacks. Okay, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're done.
Speaker 5: Yes, Neil, No, I was going into the new next story.
Speaker 5: Sorry to inform the people.
