There are two that are kind of right 5 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.600 that it's not going to be completely right, but mostly right. 6 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.440 Then there is one that is more right than the 7 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:30.079 other two, and then the top one, which is the 8 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.479 most right. And sometimes they are so close that if 9 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.679 fifty to fifty percent of the people answer one way 10 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.840 or the other, they throw. 11 00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.159 Out the question and now Handle on the news. Ladies 12 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.600 and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle. 13 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.960 And good morning everybody. 14 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:55.439 By the way, that promo was me yesterday describing the 15 00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.000 multiple choice part of the bar exam that is being changed. 16 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:01.880 The bar exam is just. 17 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.439 I have to admit I'm a pretty good test taker. 18 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.920 I never had problems with tests. That one was a bitch, 19 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:09.920 you know. 20 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.879 I know it sounds like you're rambling on that promo, 21 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.400 but it did make sense. There's so nuanced that exactly ye, 22 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:20.680 we'll get it. 23 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:22.760 Yeah, you know it's exactly correct. 24 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.400 Then they just go throwing it out. 25 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.640 The only thing that saved my ass during the taking 26 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.239 of the bar was I was high on cocaine the 27 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:31.920 entire time. 28 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.560 And I was. 29 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.599 I became president of alumni association for law school, and 30 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.040 I would go to colleges and people would ask Bill, 31 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.760 is the bar exams as hard as they say? I go, yeah, 32 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.959 so how did you prepare for the bar exam? Cocaine? 33 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.519 Lots and lots of cocaine. So they asked me to 34 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.159 leave that position. They'd rather not have someone representing the 35 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.799 school telling college students to store the cocaine to take 36 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.120 the bar. 37 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.079 But to your point, yes, what happened to that school 38 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:08.639 that you graduated from? 39 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.080 It went out of business? 40 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.120 Okay, just that's what I thought. 41 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.759 Yeah, it is now defunct, and not because it was 42 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.680 a terrible law school, which it was, but it was 43 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:25.080 because school has become so insanely expensive law school and 44 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.319 the job opportunities out there are much feward than they 45 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.800 were because you know, lawyers have just priced themselves out. 46 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.479 Now you go to Harvard, you go to any of 47 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.319 the big schools. It's the UCLA even or Stanford. I mean, 48 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.120 you know, high sc and you come out near the 49 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.360 top of the class, you're going to. 50 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.680 Get a job, a good job. 51 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.680 But for the rest of it, and the only reason 52 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.280 I went out on my own and I started practicing 53 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.479 the day I finished I passed the bar. As a 54 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.280 matter of fact, I actually started practicing before I was 55 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:57.400 licensed to be a lawyer. 56 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.759 I was involved, and we had to post date. 57 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.280 Some of the documents because a few of them went 58 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:09.759 out before I was sworn in. So anyway, I had 59 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.479 to go out on my own because no one would hire. 60 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.479 Me, of course. 61 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.039 Not you're a walking problem. 62 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.159 No kidding, no kidding.

So yesterday he said the one hundred 111 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.279 and forty five percent tariff, well, okay, let's not make 112 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.000 it one hundred and forty five percent tariff. 113 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:07.199 We're going to lower the tariff. 114 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.279 We don't know when we're going to lower the terraff 115 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.439 or I'm going to lower the teniff tariff, but it's 116 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.600 going to be less than one hundred and forty five 117 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.360 because it is a little high, but it's. 118 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.480 Going to be more than zero. 119 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.199 Just everybody is really, I mean, no one has any 120 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.480 idea the changes are being made. I mean, hour by hour, 121 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.920 the world markets are going crazy. The IMF said, we're 122 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.439 the global economy is being affected by all of this. 123 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.120 Consumer confidence is the worst that it's been in decades. 124 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.680 I mean, no, that's not true. Worse that it's been 125 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.560 since the pandemic, and it is. I mean, it's it's 126 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.040 just crazy. And the exemptions, right, he calls one hundred 127 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:54.920 and forty five percent exemptions except for the top tech TVs, 128 00:06:55.480 --> 00:07:00.639 you know, phones, computer chips, of course, having nothing to 129 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.000 do whatsoever with Bezos or Bezos and Zuckerberg and everybody 130 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.319 cowtowing up to him. Those are the industries that have 131 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.560 been exempted and completely under the one hundred and forty 132 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.439 five percent tariff. And now it's just up in the air. 133 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.600 And he has said, well, China is coming to the table. 134 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:20.639 She is telling him to go pound sand. 135 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.399 G is saying yes, but he's telling him at the table. 136 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.360 He's coming to the table and tell him go pound sand. 137 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.399 And he's and she's not even coming to the table. 138 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.240 He's just the room. 139 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.319 He's never gonna budge, Are you kidding? 140 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.720 No, she's ever and and Trump is gonna blink and blink. 141 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.360 And of course he's describing all that as a win. 142 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.839 It's all a win. You know. 143 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.079 I had to come back on the tariffs. It's a win. 144 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.759 I had to exempt certain industries. That's a win for us. 145 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.000 The fact that g somehow is telling us to go 146 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.120 pound sand, that's a win for us. 147 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.360 It's I don't even where to go. 148 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:02.639 But in the meantime, I was talking to Savill, my partner, 149 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.240 yesterday about our business. 150 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.240 We stopped it cold. 151 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.040 We have products in China that we're not letting ship, 152 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.319 and they're stopping shipping too. And there was a meeting 153 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.480 at the White House with the executives of Home Depot 154 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.959 and Walmart saying to Trump, this is going to kill us. 155 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.720 This is going to wipe out our business. We're gonna 156 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:30.800 have empty store shelves if this this tearoff continues. 157 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.440 Just gone. 158 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.960 Salvlle and I were talking about our business. He's been 159 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.440 doing it for forty years. This continues on. We close 160 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:44.440 the doors, as hundreds of thousands of other businesses would 161 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:45.840 do so. 162 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.080 So you know, but it's gonna be good for the 163 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:53.720 United States. It's gonna be good, like the pandemic was good. 164 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.279 All right, all right. 165 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.639 Russia launched it's deadly as unfortunately, wave of attacks against 166 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:09.679 Ukraine's capital nine months. In nine months, I mean early 167 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.360 today in the wee, hours after US President Donald Trump 168 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:19.240 accused of Vladimir Zelensky of harming peace talks in a 169 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.519 fresh ti rate against the Ukrainian counterpart. There, Moscow sent 170 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.960 seventy missiles one hundred and forty five drones towards Ukraine, 171 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:32.360 mainly targeting Kiev. And right now you're looking at least 172 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.840 eight people killed in the boat. 173 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:35.440 It's crazy. 174 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:41.320 What's going on here, unfortunately, is the Trump administration is 175 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.840 pushing very very hard for a peace deal, just laying 176 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.000 into Zelensky saying Vance saying, if you don't sign this 177 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.120 peace deal, the United States is going to walk away. 178 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:53.879 And the peace deal. 179 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.879 That the United States is in fact advocating is exactly 180 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:04.080 what Russia wants. Russia has taken from Ukraine, Ukraine doesn't 181 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:08.399 get into NATO at all, precisely what Russia wants. So 182 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.759 Putin is saying, oh, yeah, we'll sign this. So Lensky said, 183 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.080 we can't give up the land. It's against the constitution. 184 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.840 I can't do it. I don't have the ability to 185 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.039 sit down with Russia and say you can have Ukrainian land. 186 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.480 And so it's gonna be tough if Europe doesn't pick 187 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:26.360 up the. 188 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.080 Arms to Ukraine. 189 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.360 Ukraine is well, Ukraine will be two thirds size, Russia 190 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:34.559 will have one third of it. 191 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.120 I think Europe will come to the table. 192 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:39.039 I think so. 193 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.879 I think so, although they're not letting in Ukraine and NATO, 194 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.279 that is not happening. 195 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.039 It doesn't it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. In 196 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.879 the near future, and they're cow taling to Putin on 197 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:51.240 that one. 198 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.840 Putin's saying that if Ukraine gets in a NATO, it's 199 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.159 an act of wars. So what's Putin gonna do go 200 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.960 to war with NATO? Is that go to war war 201 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:06.440 twenty seven countries? Yeah, anyway, it's unfortunate. I think Ukraine 202 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.679 is effectively gone with the. 203 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:13.519 Help of the United States. That's the heartbreaker here, Okay, 204 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.519 fun part of the new popery. 205 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.120 Someone wants to be in the room where it happens. 206 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.559 A cardinal convicted of financial crimes by the Vatican says 207 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.320 he can be part of the conclave even though he's 208 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.679 listed as a non electorate. It's Cardinal Giovanni and Jello. 209 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.960 Bet you, I don't know if I said that, right. 210 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.200 He was one of the most powerful figures at the Vatican. 211 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.759 But then in twenty twenty, Pope Francis ordered him to 212 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.759 resign the rights and privileges of a cardinal after he 213 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.440 got embroiled in a Vatican financial scandal. 214 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.559 Yeah, he was convicted of embezzlement and fraud, convicted by 215 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:59.200 a Vatican court. Why would Francis not just Defrockham right there? 216 00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.759 Goodbye? 217 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:05.519 Done Nope, and he's claiming because he wasn't and he's 218 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.240 still a cardinal and his conviction is on appeal. 219 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:15.120 He's gonna sit in and vote for the new pope. 220 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.320 Don't know, We'll see what happens. 221 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.559 I'm guessing no, yeah, why would they. 222 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:23.360 I'm guessing that. 223 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:29.759 You know, the farah Kevin Ferrell, the consiglieri who is 224 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:35.559 running the place in absence of the Godfather, who is 225 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.200 in charge of the voting. 226 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:45.759 He's actually a carme lango, but it's close. Dual lingo, yeah, 227 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:46.320 du a lingo. 228 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:46.600 Yeah. 229 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.600 He speaks same. By the way, he does speak several languages. 230 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:56.240 Pharaoh speaks English, he speaks Italian, he speaks Spanish. He 231 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.240 even speaks Gaelic Irish Gaelic. Because he came from Ilin 232 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:04.360 became a US citizen, so he is considered an American cardinal, 233 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.279 and he's handling the whole thing. He's the one that 234 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.879 he's the one that taps the pope, the dead Pope's 235 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.679 forehead with a silver hammer and asks are you alive, 236 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.679 are you alive? Or you're alive three times and then 237 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.000 declares the Pope is dead. Pope is dead, and then 238 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:25.919 crushes the ring, you know, with a hammer. And here's 239 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:31.200 an interesting one is that, uh, the the death certificate 240 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.639 of anybody has to be issued by the Italian government. 241 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.799 There is also a death certificate issued by the Vatican 242 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.480 in the in case of the pope dying or when 243 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.159 the pope dies. 244 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.799 So there's two death certificate, one Vatican, the other one 245 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:53.840 is the is the official one. Kind of fun, it really. 246 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:55.399 Is one on it. 247 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.000 That's a good point. No, it's yeah, it's just fascinating. 248 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.799 So I'm going to get in this really some fun 249 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.879 stuff coming up at seven twenty. And that is how 250 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.440 Francis is going to be named a saint. 251 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.600 Guaranteed he's going to be sainted. 252 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.480 And I'll tell you all the rules of canon's a canonization, canonization. 253 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.679 Yeah, okay, wow. 254 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:22.519 The five thousand. 255 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.360 Dollars of five thousand dollars rather could be given to 256 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.320 every American mother after giving birth, with President Donald Trump 257 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.559 saying that he liked the sound of that concept. He 258 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.360 said it's a good idea to him when he was 259 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.039 asked about it this week. Trump has not made a 260 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.279 final decision on the proposal. It obviously needs to be 261 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.799 approved by Congress to materialize, but that's that's being floated 262 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:57.639 right now, five thousand bucks baby bonus check if. 263 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.279 Well, there's a reason for it, because the birth rate 264 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.080 in the United States is falling p pitouslee and it's 265 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.080 going to be a net loss. The only reason that 266 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.200 we're not hemorrhaging population is because of immigration coming in. 267 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:14.200 So five thousand dollars if that's put into law, and 268 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.720 if you look at the twenty twenty three numbers of 269 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.840 the berths in the US, the government would be spending 270 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:25.600 eighteen billion dollars to pay moms five grand. 271 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:34.000 Dick Durbin's done. The longtime second ranking Democrat in the Senate, 272 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.080 Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has announced his plans to retire 273 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.559 at the end of next year. He said, the decision 274 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.039 of whether to run for reelection is not easy. I 275 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.679 love the job of being a United States Senator, but 276 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.240 in my heart, I know it's time to pass the torch. 277 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.879 He's eighty, He's been expected to step aside for a while. 278 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.240 He's served in the chamber since nineteen ninety six. 279 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.120 I think four of the five senators who have announced 280 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.840 their retirements are Democrat, which is going to make it 281 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:06.120 even harder for the Democrats to take the Senate. Doesn't 282 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.799 look like that's gonna happen anytime soon. 283 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:09.120 Well do you blame him? 284 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:09.279 Though? 285 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.879 They've got the new young group is saying hey, we're 286 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.000 coming after you. I mean like they're rallying the troops 287 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.360 and organizing, saying we're going after the older guys. 288 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.679 Right, But at the same time you still have the 289 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.080 power brokers in line. Mitch McConnell, for example, who gave 290 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:31.639 up the majority in this case, Well it was a minority, 291 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:35.840 but majority the majority position and gave it to Thune, 292 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.279 a much younger guy. 293 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.159 But yeah, you know, when you're eighty, how far and 294 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.720 how long do you keep on going? 295 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.679 Okay, ask ourselves that every day, sir. 296 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.360 No kidding, Thank you for that, all right. 297 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.039 Tennis legend Andre Agassy is set to make his pro 298 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.639 debut in another record sport next week when he takes 299 00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:01.039 part in the US Open Pickleball Championship. He's going to 300 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:04.640 do this alongside the sports number one player. Her name 301 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:10.160 is Anna Lee Waters and she's eighteen years old. So 302 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.119 I guess this takes place on Aprol thirtieth, and he's 303 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.359 going to partake in it. 304 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.759 Yeah, and you can bet on it. Now, the game 305 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.480 is fixed. You know that it's a racket. It's just not. 306 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.839 What I have to have balls to make that joke. 307 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:29.880 Okay, enough of that. 308 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:36.559 Finding a safe space. So the wife of the guy 309 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.799 from El Salvador who was living in Maryland and then 310 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.599 got swept up in that ice raid and was deported 311 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.039 down to El Salvador. And that's the one that everybody's 312 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:50.079 The people are going down and visiting, The senators and 313 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:54.240 lawmakers are going down and visiting, and it's kilmar Abrego Garcia. Well, 314 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:59.319 his wife now says that she is moving or has 315 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.359 moved to a safe house because the Trump administration posted 316 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.680 a court document that included her address on social media. 317 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.039 The document was a protective order. I believe that she 318 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:12.039 filed in twenty two. 319 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:12.759 Yes, she did. 320 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:16.440 Against him for domestic violence, and they're using that to 321 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:19.599 establish that he is a bad guy and deserves to 322 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:20.400 be deported. 323 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:22.519 Yeah, So it's got her address on it, and she 324 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.279 says she doesn't feel safe, and so she's moved the 325 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.559 Department of Homeland Security said, these are public documents that 326 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:30.880 anyone could get access to. 327 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.400 Do we know if there was a governmental agency that 328 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.319 was involved in moving her local police department or the 329 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.559 state or the county, or is it just on her own? 330 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.200 Where else do you get a safe house? 331 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.880 Well, it could be that she just moved and they're 332 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.920 calling it a quote safe house. 333 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.799 And that's I don't know, that's dishonest if they use 334 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.000 the term safe house instead, she's. 335 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.200 The story does not tell us whether she did it 336 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.079 on her own or whether they're is some kind of 337 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:02.559 governmental entity in doing that. 338 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.519 Well, she felt safe enough to be with a guy 339 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:11.319 who hit her, clearly, all right. 340 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.480 For four months, Los Angeles City officials we've talked about 341 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.920 this here, had an outside contractor. They worked to ensure 342 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.839 the Santae Naz Reservoir, that one hundred and seventeen million 343 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:28.759 gallon water complex. It's right there in the heart of 344 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.680 Pacific Palisades. They were talking about it returning into service 345 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.519 by early May. It had, as you remember, not been 346 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.839 in use for a year or so. It was emptied 347 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:46.279 because it had some holes in the cover. Actually, well 348 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.039 they apparently repaired it, then filled it back up, and 349 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:55.680 then found more tears and pinhole size leaks on this 350 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:56.519 floating cover. 351 00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:57.920 So now they have to dream it again. 352 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:00.720 You know, I'm wondering I think it'll repair. Are the terrors? 353 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:05.680 What do pinhole size leaks have to do with shutting 354 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:10.200 it down? Okay, I mean you would think pinhole size leaks. 355 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.799 I mean that's like nothing. 356 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:16.440 Yeah, okay, So our pool here is not a big pool. 357 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.000 It's like twelve by twenty four. We have a cover 358 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.839 on it, right, an automatic cover. It gets pinhole leaks, 359 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.720 the water ends up coming up from it and then 360 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.920 evaporating on the top, and you end up losing you 361 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.160 know how much. Yeah, you lose a tie up to 362 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.160 where we have to keep getting it replaced. All right, 363 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.920 So I mean because it so, I'm all, I can 364 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.519 only imagine that that's the issue, because otherwise I don't 365 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:46.039 know is it contaminated that way or No? 366 00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:47.920 I don't think so. I don't think. I don't think 367 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.880 this is drinking water. 368 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:54.720 Uh, this is clearly fire suppressant, a fire suppressant system. 369 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.799 All right, now, let's go ahead and take a break. 370 00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.880 And I didn't know that. I thought pinhole leaks to 371 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.480 don't mean anything. But okay, I'll buy that that resonates. 372 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.319 No, we're sleeping on the streets. The La City Council 373 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.240 voted eleven to two in favor of expanding a policy 374 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.640 to prevent the homeless from sleeping in certain public spaces. 375 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.599 The ordinance also prohibits people from sitting, lying down, or 376 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.720 keeping belongings in designated areas. There's already some areas in place. 377 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.960 It's now extending to Superior Street and Daring Avenues in Chatsworth. 378 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.599 The people, though, before they get in trouble, are supposed 379 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:35.160 to get an advanced notice before their camp area is cleared, 380 00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.839 and also be offered help in finding shelter. 381 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.799 Yeah, it has to be an insurmountable problem. I just 382 00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.920 don't get where the answer is. Certainly, I don't think 383 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.000 anybody can disagree with you have to keep people off 384 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:53.160 the streets if possible, and put them in the shelters 385 00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.640 if possible. A couple of things though, there are people 386 00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.759 that won't go in the shelters. There's a good chunk 387 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:01.359 of these people who are mentally ill. 388 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:03.000 Uh And we don't know. 389 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.480 The exact proportion, but there's a really good chunk. I've 390 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:07.839 heard as much as a third. Then you have people 391 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.200 that have dogs that have pets. You can't go into 392 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.240 shelter with a pet, and so what do they do 393 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:18.599 do they give up their pet? They don't, and so 394 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.000 they're not going to get off the street. At the 395 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.319 same time, I don't want anybody living on the street. 396 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.599 When I lived at the Persian Palace, I'd get off 397 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.359 the freeway and then I would have to turn left 398 00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:33.680 onto my street on the on ramp and then turn 399 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.880 left and I would have to go under the underpass. 400 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:42.599 And under that underpass was an encampment that went literally 401 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.000
