Speaker 2: Bill Handle KFI AM six forty Bill Handle.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 3: It is a Friday morning, January tenth, and usually we're
Speaker 3: really thrilled about Fridays. Actually, you know what, waking up
Speaker 3: this morning, even while in the midst of one of
Speaker 3: the most horrific incidentss that we have experienced here in
Speaker 3: southern California, wildfires that are almost beyond comprehension, we actually
Speaker 3: woke up to some pretty good news in terms of
Speaker 3: the containment factor. And now we're just trying to figure
Speaker 3: out what, how, maybe why these fires started. Is there
Speaker 3: anybody involved? And first let me say hello to one
Speaker 3: and all.
Speaker 2: Neil.
Speaker 1: Good morning, sleepy sleepy time.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is people've been up.
Speaker 2: That's right, you were up. You started early this morning,

Speaker 4: thirty five plus year.
Speaker 1: Years in talk radio that I overslept.
Speaker 4: Oh, I turned off three alarms and do not recall it.
Speaker 3: Well, you've been up doing early early morning shifts for
Speaker 3: a couple of days, so yeah, you're doing more. You're
Speaker 3: doing a yeoman's job. Whatever the hell a yeoman is.
Speaker 3: Actually I know what a yeoman is, but that's besides
Speaker 3: the point.
Speaker 1: What is it.
Speaker 2: A yeoman is part of the Queen's guard.
Speaker 3: If you look at if you go over to go
Speaker 3: to the Tower of London, you will see the uniformed
Speaker 3: guards there and those are traditional guards.
Speaker 2: Those are yeomen.
Speaker 3: Go yo yo, they do, they go no over here
Speaker 3: and they now have turned into actually tour guides is
Speaker 3: what they are. You go in there and you get
Speaker 3: a tour and one of the yeomen give you the tour.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can look that up if you want. Amy.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Hi, how are you hi? I notice you
Speaker 2: don't have a Disney shirt on.
Speaker 5: I got my California strong shirt on.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's what was that small print? California the
Speaker 3: home of Disneyland, right.
Speaker 5: Is not just California today, okay, California the home of
Speaker 5: the Dodgers in Disneyland.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And and good morning, good morning Bill. Putting everybody together,
Speaker 2: we have a show today.
Speaker 3: We have Nathan Hawkman coming on the show this morning
Speaker 3: at seven o'clock. The DA of Orange of Valet County,
Speaker 3: Todd is the DA of Orange County. But Nathan Hawkman
Speaker 3: was in on the press conference yesterday, and you rarely
Speaker 3: see a DA when you're dealing with a natural disaster.
Speaker 3: There was a reason he won and it was really important.
Speaker 3: And he's going to be our guest coming up at
Speaker 3: seven o'clock, thank god.
Speaker 1: And poor And didn't you get alerts this morning? Anne
Speaker 1: as well? And oh yeah, oh you've been NonStop this week.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, it's been interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The only person out there that has sort of not
Speaker 3: had to work extra overtimes meet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, we know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I pulled them out together. You guys
Speaker 2: are up all that long, you know.
Speaker 3: I'm watching some stuff on Netflix, you know, like Squid
Speaker 3: Game two.
Speaker 1: All right, you finish Wicked?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I still haven't finished wickeed.
Speaker 1: Have you finished Wicked?
Speaker 2: Because first of all, it's a nine hour movie.
Speaker 3: Second of all, you can The only reason I am
Speaker 3: finishing it because I paid thirty dollars for it because
Speaker 3: we have a guest here who is a Wicked fanatic.
Speaker 3: We did it for her and big mistake, biggest mistake
Speaker 3: of my life.
Speaker 2: So I have to finish watching it. Musicals, I love musicals.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that good. I mean the musical
Speaker 2: musical part of Wicked I thought was great.
Speaker 3: All right, Kono, good morning. All right, there we go.
Speaker 3: Everybody is there, So let's get right to it. Man.
Speaker 2: We've got news, of.
Speaker 3: Course we do, and most of it relating to the
Speaker 3: fire this morning, but there's some other stuff happening too,
Speaker 3: big stuff.
Speaker 2: So let's do.
Speaker 3: It's time for handle on the news, Amy King, Neil
Speaker 3: and me, and we start with the news of the
Speaker 3: death toll in the wildfires, now officially to ten. But
Speaker 3: as Anna and I were talking about it, it is
Speaker 3: going to climb like crazy because the cadaver dogs are
Speaker 3: going to be out there in force, and.
Speaker 2: People are going to be reporting.
Speaker 3: My uncle was still in the house, he didn't evacuate,
Speaker 3: and I'm willing to bet that other than those people
Speaker 3: that had some real physical issu shoes and couldn't get out.
Speaker 2: The majority are going to be people.
Speaker 3: Who didn't get out and could have because a lot
Speaker 3: of people tend to ignore mandatory of action orders and
Speaker 3: it costs, obviously a costs not only in their lives
Speaker 3: but just screwing everything up. So we're going to see
Speaker 3: now the shot I've been watching this morning KTLA woke
Speaker 3: up to that and last night going to be by
Speaker 3: the way, I wasn't watching Wicked last night, I.
Speaker 2: Was glued to the TV.
Speaker 3: There's that one shot where you see, as far as
Speaker 3: the eye can see, just these buildings on foundations, right,
Speaker 3: and that's all. You see, foundations with a little bit
Speaker 3: of debris on them and occasionally a chimney. It reminds
Speaker 3: me of if you've ever seen Gone with the Wind
Speaker 3: or Raiders of Loss Art Gone with the Wind, where
Speaker 3: they do one of the last scenes, a civil war
Speaker 3: scene where the camera is concentrating on a civil war
Speaker 3: victim and someone is tending to him, and the camera
Speaker 3: pulls back and it goes back and then you see
Speaker 3: as far as the eye can see people on the
Speaker 3: ground that have been mahimed or killed. And in the
Speaker 3: Raiders of Lost Art, the last scene where the box
Speaker 3: that crate which theoretically has the covenant, so you see
Speaker 3: the worker moving down and then the camera pulls back
Speaker 3: and you see hundreds of thousands of these boxes on shelves.
Speaker 3: That's what that looked like. It looked like a movie
Speaker 3: that did that, and every one of those were a
Speaker 3: home and they're saying how many nine thousand home structures? Amy,
Speaker 3: we don't know yet the delineation between homes and structures, We.
Speaker 5: Do not, but it's over fifty three hundred in the
Speaker 5: Palisades fire alone, and they're saying between four and five
Speaker 5: thousand in the fire in the Altadena.
Speaker 2: It's completely insane. It is now. Losing a business is horrific.
Speaker 2: I mean, there is to not.
Speaker 3: Be able to go to work even if you own
Speaker 3: a business, all right, that is one issue that is horrible.
Speaker 2: Losing your home is on a whole different level.
Speaker 3: Because everything you own, your things that you bought, let's say,
Speaker 3: during a honeymoon, and this is just before you got divorced.
Speaker 3: Things that you had as a child, memorabilia you kept,
Speaker 3: i mean all gone. And then the other thing is
Speaker 3: And then we're going to take a break and then
Speaker 3: go to news. This morning, at the end of wake
Speaker 3: up Call, Amy was talking to Karen Travers, reported for ABC,
Speaker 3: and we now know that the Feds are going to
Speaker 3: cover one hundred percent of firefighting salaries. For example, extraordinary expenses,
Speaker 3: the cost of the planes flying overhead, debris removal, temporary shelter,
Speaker 3: all the expenses related to this. For six months, not rebuilding.
Speaker 3: There will be other federal programs where money can be
Speaker 3: borrowed at either zero or incredibly low rates interest rates,
Speaker 3: and that's what happened during the earthquake in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3: That program came into being. So this is one of
Speaker 3: those things for those people that hate the government being
Speaker 3: involved in our lives.
Speaker 2: This is what government is for. This is why we
Speaker 2: pay our taxes.
Speaker 3: And this is government not only at its best, but
Speaker 3: is at its necessary. It's not foreign policy, it's not Ukraine,
Speaker 3: it's not Israel as important that those must be.
Speaker 2: This is home.
Speaker 3: This is us helping family and helping neighbors welcome.
Speaker 4: I imagine if they put the money from a homeless
Speaker 4: issue and the money from that crap high speed train
Speaker 4: to bury our power lines, how we wouldn't have to
Speaker 4: do all That may mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, priorities, but this things like this bring the priority level.
Speaker 3: They go right to the top. All right, guys, we.
Speaker 5: Got updated numbers. We're actually expecting to get more updated numbers.
Speaker 5: They're doing another news conference today that's happening at eight.
Speaker 5: But here's what we've got right now. The fire and
Speaker 5: Pacific Palisades just under twenty thousand acres burned, but on
Speaker 5: a little tiny bit of a bright side, they're saying
Speaker 5: six percent surrounded, which means they're starting to get lines
Speaker 5: around the fire. The fire burning in the Altadena area
Speaker 5: thirteen thousand, six hundred and ninety acres, it is zero
Speaker 5: percent surrounded. The fire that broke out yesterday afternoon in
Speaker 5: West Hills, Calabasas area one thousand acres burned very quickly,
Speaker 5: thirty five percent surrounded. That was another case of those
Speaker 5: water dropping helicopters really coming to the rescue and stopping
Speaker 5: them from getting into neighborhoods. The Hurst Fire in Silmar
Speaker 5: seven hundred and seventy one acres, it's thirty seven percent surround.
Speaker 5: And then there's a small fire burning in Tahunga it's
Speaker 5: called the Creek Fire three acres. It's flared up a bit,
Speaker 5: so that's why they put it on their fire map.
Speaker 5: It's zero percent surrounded.
Speaker 2: Now, when we talk.
Speaker 3: About the percent surrounded, usually that means okay, the fire
Speaker 3: has been contained. It's not going to go beyond that,
Speaker 3: and now they're working their way inwards to put out
Speaker 3: the fire. With these winds, containment means almost nothing when
Speaker 3: you think about it, because the embers start flying, and
Speaker 3: a fire can be zero one hundred percent contained, which
Speaker 3: means it is surrounded or fire breaks have been have
Speaker 3: surrounded the entire fire, and an ember flies over the
Speaker 3: fire break or flies over the road and it just ignites.
Speaker 2: Three miles away.
Speaker 3: Which was the horrific part of the Palisades fire what
Speaker 3: we saw in addition to just this thing going through
Speaker 3: the Palisades like well, wildfire. It's pretty depressing. But now
Speaker 3: the good news, if there is any good news, the
Speaker 3: winds die down.
Speaker 2: If the winds die down, they can deal with it.
Speaker 1: If we weren't dealing with enough, the.
Speaker 4: Likelihood of some wingnut trying to add more problems. A
Speaker 4: suspect in custody now after he allegedly tried to start
Speaker 4: a fire in the San Fernando Valley community of Woodland Hills.
Speaker 1: This is a guy that was on.
Speaker 4: Galindo Street while riding a motorbike of some kind and
Speaker 4: carrying a lit torch. Three residents tackle demand held him
Speaker 4: until the LAPD officers arrived. And this is a developing
Speaker 4: story that's still going on. But that was as a
Speaker 4: last night.
Speaker 3: They should have lit his hair on fire and pretended
Speaker 3: that he was a tiki torch.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's well, we're gonna We're gonna.
Speaker 3: Have Nathan Hawkman on the Lada and talk about what's
Speaker 3: going on on the crime side of this fire. And
Speaker 3: it's not fun stuff and it's more serious than even
Speaker 3: the crime itself. And I'll explain that and ask Nathan
Speaker 3: Hawkman about that.
Speaker 5: We'll find out if Nathan Hopman has something to say
Speaker 5: about this guy too, who may need to be scooped up.
Speaker 5: Somebody was flying a drone in restricted airspace yesterday and
Speaker 5: it crashed into one of the Super Scoopers and damaged
Speaker 5: one of its wings, so that grounded that one. It's
Speaker 5: sitting there instead of scooping up fifteen hundred gallons at
Speaker 5: a time out of the ocean and dumping it on
Speaker 5: the fires.
Speaker 1: It's grounded.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great, so there's only two of them out there.
Speaker 3: The whole story of the Super Scoopers is really interesting.
Speaker 3: They've been twenty years they've been on lease to La
Speaker 3: County and during fire season they come down from Quebec.
Speaker 3: It's Canadian company, and there was a should do it
Speaker 3: buy them?
Speaker 2: Do we not?
Speaker 3: But the program is leasing them. They come down those
Speaker 3: yellow airplanes that have those really interesting wings, and literally
Speaker 3: they can they call super Scoopers because they fly at
Speaker 3: at water level and scoop up water and then go
Speaker 3: and dump it and it's far not only quicker, but
Speaker 3: more effective than any other aircraft in terms of water drops.
Speaker 3: Helicopters have to go back to their landing area. The
Speaker 3: baskets have to be filled, the same thing with those
Speaker 3: giant planes.
Speaker 2: They both fixed wing and.
Speaker 3: The jets, you know, the propeller planes as well as
Speaker 3: the jets that they have. They have to land, they
Speaker 3: have to be refilled. Super Scoopers boom in and out,
Speaker 3: in and out, and to take half of those off
Speaker 3: of the off of the attack plan.
Speaker 2: Is horrible. This whoever it.
Speaker 3: Was, I don't know if they're going to catch them.
Speaker 3: That should be twenty five to life right there for
Speaker 3: doing that.
Speaker 1: Do you know what it is? It is if you
Speaker 1: get caught flying a drone?
Speaker 4: I believe it's like up to twelve months in jail
Speaker 4: and up to seventy five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that compared to the damage that it's done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or the opportunity costs.
Speaker 3: Oh, here's a lie, here's a little fact about the
Speaker 3: super scooper. You think of it going down and then
Speaker 3: a scoop comes down, some kind of a ramp comes down,
Speaker 3: and then the water is put into the water scooped up.
Speaker 3: Actually it's a four inch pipe that faces backwards, and
Speaker 3: that's what scoops up the water.
Speaker 1: Really, And let's do it in lakes or can it
Speaker 1: be both?
Speaker 3: But for use lakes or better, because if you've got
Speaker 3: the ocean out there and the ocean.
Speaker 2: In their waves, it can't do it. So it needs
Speaker 2: a fairly flat body of water. And usually it's lakes
Speaker 2: or reservoirs.
Speaker 5: Have you seen what the helicopters what they do? They
Speaker 5: go dip into the reservose because there was a fire
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago on your silver.
Speaker 2: No, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 5: And I was watching it and they dropped down a
Speaker 5: tube and they suck the water up out of it.
Speaker 5: It's fascinating to watch.
Speaker 4: Already, we need a OOPS button for La County because
Speaker 4: they keep making mistakes. Yesterday it was the emergency alert
Speaker 4: issuing an evacuation warning for all of Los Angeles County
Speaker 4: sent out by accident.
Speaker 1: I received it. I'm sure a lot of you did.
Speaker 4: As well, and then it came out what twenty eight
Speaker 4: thirty minutes afterwards that it was like due to a
Speaker 4: technical error. So maybe that was the same technical error
Speaker 4: that sent it out again this morning at four am, or.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it had to be.
Speaker 3: That's I didn't get it other people in the room
Speaker 3: that I was at last night, I was having dinner
Speaker 3: with some folks and it was now half of us
Speaker 3: got it and the other half didn't, and I was
Speaker 3: one of those that didn't get it. Also, have you
Speaker 3: seen on social media which is going like wildfire? I
Speaker 3: keep on using that phrase that the fault of these fires,
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom is at fault, And now I'm waiting for
Speaker 3: actual video footage of him igniting fire with a barbecue lighter.
Speaker 4: He doesn't need to have done that to have some
Speaker 4: hands in the problem. They are still you know, whether
Speaker 4: they took out foliage and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: He's a problem.
Speaker 3: Oo.
Speaker 5: Okay, So there's this guy. He has a lot of money.
Speaker 5: He lived or lives in Pacific Palisades, depending on whether
Speaker 5: his house survived. But he has deleted his X account
Speaker 5: now because he got a lot of backlash for going
Speaker 5: on to X and basically pleading for private firefighters to
Speaker 5: come and save his house. His name is Keith Wasserman,
Speaker 5: and he said, does anyone have access to private firefighters
Speaker 5: to protect our homes in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast?
Speaker 5: Here all neighbors houses burning will pay any amount thank you.
Speaker 3: To see is the video of him going up to
Speaker 3: firefighters are burning house to say, hey.
Speaker 2: I want to make some money. No, he didn't do that. Now, Oh,
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: It's tacky and all of that, but they're desperate. Their
Speaker 1: homes are about to burn down and they can't do
Speaker 1: what about it?
Speaker 2: And what do he started doing? If you're a private
Speaker 2: firefighter start negotiating? That's I got to tell you. There's
Speaker 2: a whole world to that.
Speaker 1: That is a visual U the price is going up.
Speaker 4: But I mean what this happened to the Kardashians I
Speaker 4: think too when there was a fire in their neighborhood.
Speaker 4: They were hiring private firefighters or something and people complaint.
Speaker 1: I get it, but.
Speaker 3: Who are private By the way, who are private firefighters?
Speaker 2: Is there a national association.
Speaker 4: Of private firefighters? And where do they get the equipment?
Speaker 4: Arm retired? And they probably this is a business, it's right.
Speaker 2: And then so where do they get the water?
Speaker 3: They go up to city fire hydrants and it's a business.
Speaker 2: Oh that would work.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they bring their own trucks of water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we still have to go, right, your own trucks
Speaker 3: are water comes out like pumps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have the old you know, fire brigade handing park.
Speaker 2: I don't yeah, with their own buckets out with.
Speaker 1: Only put it out with Fiji. I don't want the bad.
Speaker 4: Stuff, all right, Trump to be sentenced today, What a
Speaker 4: weird time we are living in. President elect Donald Trump
Speaker 4: is scheduled to be sentenced this morning on felony charges.
Speaker 4: This is his history making for better or for worse.
Speaker 1: Right. Uh.
Speaker 4: He tried desperately with his legal team to make sure
Speaker 4: this wouldn't happen before inauguration ten days from now. So
Speaker 4: the scenting is scheduled for nine thirty eight m Eastern time,
Speaker 4: So just right about now.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a little confused about his position, and
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why. First of all, he's gonna get
Speaker 3: that absolutely no no jail time, but it's an unconditional discharge.
Speaker 2: Doesn't have to talk to anybody.
Speaker 3: There'll be no probation officer, there's no phone calls to
Speaker 3: make here's what I'm doing, Here's where I am.
Speaker 2: It'll simply be a conviction on the record.
Speaker 3: Why he's fighting it so hard when part of it
Speaker 3: he's wearing it as a badge of honor. This shows
Speaker 3: you what the Department of Justice has done? Or this
Speaker 3: I think is yeah, Department of Justice or is this a.
Speaker 2: State court.
Speaker 3: New York criminal courts, a state court and the weaponization
Speaker 3: of the system against me? This is Trump talking, And
Speaker 3: this proves it. I would wear it as badge of honor.
Speaker 3: And he's gone back and fourth on that.
Speaker 1: Well, he may want the attention of it too.
Speaker 4: No, no, but I think it proves it in the
Speaker 4: news and telling his base that hey, look I'm still
Speaker 4: being persecuted.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly the point.
Speaker 1: And prosecuted, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's exactly the point.
Speaker 3: And he's going to be And when the sentencing happens,
Speaker 3: and it will today, he'll of course appeal it, which
Speaker 3: is kind of fun because appealing the sentence is not
Speaker 3: the same as saying you're not guilty, because that's not
Speaker 3: going to happen. He'll be the first president in history
Speaker 3: to go into the presidency.
Speaker 2: As a convicted felon.
Speaker 3: This is just one more notch with the argument that
Speaker 3: this is probably going to be He is going to
Speaker 3: be the most unique president we have had.
Speaker 2: Or ever will have in the history of this country.
Speaker 4: The nice thing is the next convicted felon that goes
Speaker 4: into the presidency.
Speaker 1: No, but he's going to really talk about it.
Speaker 5: But done, it's not even going to be it's going
Speaker 5: to be news.
Speaker 4: It's not unprecedented or anything. It's just like, oh yeah, just.
Speaker 3: Another Yeah, here's another huge story in front of the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court.
Speaker 5: And it has to do with President elect Trump. A
Speaker 5: federal appeals court has ruled that special counsel Jacksmith's report
Speaker 5: on Trump's attempts to overturn the election and the January
Speaker 5: twenty twenty January sixth, twenty twenty one investigation can be
Speaker 5: made public. Actually it's not about hold on, it's not
Speaker 5: about the overturning the election.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I conflated the two stories with the next story.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, let me TikTok story.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, anyway, the court said, yep, you can release.
Speaker 2: This right, But but that's not the appeals court.
Speaker 5: Yes, because now a lower judge has also said, we've
Speaker 5: got a three day.
Speaker 1: Stay.
Speaker 5: That gives Trump time to appeal, which.
Speaker 2: And let's go.
Speaker 3: And once he appeals at AA and it will go
Speaker 3: on appeal by the time he hits office next week
Speaker 3: or a week after that. He just simply orders it
Speaker 3: not to be released because it'll be a Department of
Speaker 3: Justice report and he controls the Department of Justice.
Speaker 4: Why does it matter Because isn't the world going to
Speaker 4: explode when he takes office?
Speaker 2: I thought, no, No, all will happen.
Speaker 3: No, a couple of things will happen. Every illegally be
Speaker 3: deported that day. And as I said many times, please
Speaker 3: I want the bus franchise because I can't even imagine
Speaker 3: how many buses are going.
Speaker 2: To have to be leased.
Speaker 3: Greenland will become ours. We're going to pay for it,
Speaker 3: although I don't know if we're financing it or not.
Speaker 3: And what the interest rate would be to buy Greenland.
Speaker 3: The Panama Canal comes back to us. You've been violation
Speaker 3: of the treaties we signed.
Speaker 4: You and I are going fishing in that Gulf of America.
Speaker 3: Yeah great, And there's that. The Ukraine War is over
Speaker 3: that day. And Israel, I'll tell you, Israel really loves
Speaker 3: Donald Trump a lot because well, he is about as
Speaker 3: pro Israel as any president will ever see.
Speaker 2: So he's got he actually.
Speaker 3: Has a lot of popularity amongst a lot of people,
Speaker 3: and that is one of the issues. All Right, We're
Speaker 3: going to take a break, come back with our very
Speaker 3: last segment of Handle on the Law before we move on.
Speaker 3: And I'm sorry Handle on the News. I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 3: already thinking about tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Thank you. It's do I mix that up every single week.
Speaker 3: On Friday every week. I actually can go through a
Speaker 3: week without mixing up those two.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know how long have you been doing? It's
Speaker 1: still new.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't quite gotten to it yet. All right, So.
Speaker 4: TikTok could shut down unless the Supreme Court blocks or
Speaker 4: delays the US BAND. So this is an important case
Speaker 4: for people that you know, love social media and this
Speaker 4: social media age. You've got free speech attached to this
Speaker 4: national security all this stuff. So the Supreme Court today
Speaker 4: going to be an argument over the fate of TikTok
Speaker 4: and we shall see how it goes down. It could
Speaker 4: be shut down. Essentially, it will be shut down if
Speaker 4: the Court right down. Yeah, under law, right now, law
Speaker 4: is past shutting this puppy down. Congress said it's done. Now,
Speaker 4: there's two sides to this coin, and both have a
Speaker 4: good argument.
Speaker 3: Side number one First Amendment right, do we have access
Speaker 3: half of America uses TikTok okay side to national security?
Speaker 3: It's owned by the Chinese and they can get any
Speaker 3: information on anybody with TikTok okay national security that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Now, has it happened yet? It has not.
Speaker 3: There's no evidence of the Chinese government actually using going
Speaker 3: into any of the information that TikTok has. The fun
Speaker 3: part is the argument of First Amendment because we have
Speaker 3: such First Amendment rights with American companies in China, don't we.
Speaker 4: Can't we if half if the half of America is
Speaker 4: using tik talk, they're probably the half we don't need.
Speaker 4: Can't we send them to China and then they can
Speaker 4: still use TikTok and we clean things up here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, except there's no First Amendment rights in China.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: That's why it would have to be pro Chinese. Every
Speaker 2: one of.
Speaker 3: Them just saying, but we'll see what happens when the
Speaker 3: court does. If I had to guess, if I had
Speaker 3: to guess, I think the court is going to go
Speaker 3: with the shutdown of TikTok or not.
Speaker 1: Wow okay case.
Speaker 5: RFK isn't aok. With thousands of docs, more than fifteen
Speaker 5: thousand doctors have signed a letter urging Senators to vote
Speaker 5: against confirming Robert F. Kennedy Junior as Secretary of Health
Speaker 5: and Human Services. The letter reads, the health and well
Speaker 5: being of three hundred thirty six million Americans depends on
Speaker 5: leadership at HHS that prioritizes science, evidence based medicine, and
Speaker 5: strengthening the integrity of our public health system. The letter
Speaker 5: goes on to say RFK Junior not only is unqualified
Speaker 5: to lead this essential agency, he is actively dangerous.
Speaker 2: And the proof in the putting is what happened in Samoa.
Speaker 3: He had advocated against the measles vaccine, saying it was dangerous,
Speaker 3: and the medical authorities and the government of Samoa bought that,
Speaker 3: and there was a spread of measles and people died
Speaker 3: because of measles in Samoa, And so, you.
Speaker 4: Know what'd you kind of surprised that it's only fifteen thousand.
Speaker 4: There's over a million doctors in the US.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you can only how many pages do you
Speaker 3: have if you have more than fifteen thousand signatures that's
Speaker 3: a lot of pages.
Speaker 4: You got over two hundred and fifty thousand for a recall, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but recalled whom.
Speaker 1: When we tried to recall?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you do get to. But that's the general public,
Speaker 2: that's not doctors. That's all of.
Speaker 3: Us asking for a recall. So per capita, probably more
Speaker 3: doctors than not. I'd like to see how I'd like

Speaker 4: towards Senate passage of the gop Led immigration bill. So
Speaker 4: this has been going back and forth a little bit.
Speaker 4: This would this gop Led bill would require the detention
Speaker 4: of undocumented migrants charged with certain crimes, a key step
Speaker 4: that puts a legislation on the verge of passage. And
Speaker 4: this important this is these are bad people. If you
Speaker 4: look at it as immigrants first, you've got a problem.
Speaker 4: These are criminals, well, they are alleged to be criminals.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're not bad people.
Speaker 3: They're simply charged with the crime and sore convicted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, convicted. That's another story.
Speaker 3: But they're talking about requiring the detention of people charged
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. So if that he becomes law, or if
Speaker 3: the policy stays the same of illegal immigrants not being
Speaker 3: detained when they're charged with theft or burglary, now you
Speaker 3: can be detained if you're charged with theft for burglary.
Speaker 3: So the takeaway here is do it as an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 3: Simply say you're illegal and they're not going.
