My phone is 24 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.200 basically a year old. 25 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.959 I have an iPhone I know the latest, I don't know, 26 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.519 BLASTO five thousand, whatever the hell it is. And the 27 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.640 battery is dying. I mean, come on, really, the battery 28 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.920 is going south. And I'm told you just don't go 29 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.760 in and get a battery, you get a new phone. 30 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.359 And then I have this T Mobile business. 31 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.959 Where you know, you buy a new phone, all you 32 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.200 have to do is sign on level year contract and 33 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.359 you get a free phone, whatever the hell it is. 34 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.640 Okay, hey, let's. 35 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:11.520 Talk about the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia. 36 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.360 I'm out you think they have phones. 37 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.319 Yeah, I don't think your battery should be dying after 38 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:20.919 a year. 39 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.520 That's true. All right, before, we're going to take a 40 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.560 break in just a minute. 41 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.560 Obviously, I'm having a good time spinning and trying to 42 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.560 figure out what to talk about. But actually there is 43 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.800 fun to watch. I just wanted to have a good time. 44 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.240 So let me tell you about a few things that 45 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.280 I should be talking about. First of all, we do 46 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.280 a segment called Ask Handle Anything, and we do that 47 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.080 every single Friday now from May thirty to nine o'clock. 48 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.639 And we started this because people ask a lot of questions, 49 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.360 you know, private questions. 50 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:52.719 Hey, Bill, what are you doing? What do you eat? 51 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.360 Tell me about you know, this marriage that's going to 52 00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:00.919 happen coming up with March, And so you. 53 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:01.840 Ask me questions. 54 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.199 I answer them, and I'm pretty upfront about answering questions. 55 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.240 If you listen for the first few weeks, you saw 56 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.840 me and getting a while feeling a lot humiliated because 57 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.199 I was humiliating myself. 58 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.120 And so here's what the way we do it is. 59 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.919 You go to the iHeart app during the show and 60 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.719 go to the KFI page and at the top of 61 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.479 the right hand corner on the KFI page is a 62 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:33.120 microphone and you click onto that microphone and then you 63 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.520 have fifteen seconds to ask a question. 64 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.240 It's ask handle anything. 65 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.159 I don't know whose idea that was, but I dove 66 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.680 right into it. I dived right into it, and it 67 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.919 was some fun questions, by the way, and I'm pretty 68 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.000 upfront about it. Neil, have you noticed that I wasn't 69 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.280 shy about asking questions. And I've been around for so long, 70 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.199 you know, for those of you that have been listening 71 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:57.280 for any length of time. 72 00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.560 In what is it. 73 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:06.800 Lie, it's thirty one years that I've been broadcasting this show. No, 74 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:12.000 it'll be thirty two years that I've been broadcasting this show. 75 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.680 So anyway, ask handle anything. I don't want your opinion 76 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:18.680 about anything. 77 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:19.360 I don't care. 78 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.680 We can't talk politics politics if you want, just not 79 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.199 your opinion of politics, Okay, and then Neil and and. 80 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:29.480 Choose the questions. 81 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.839 I don't hear them until you hear them on the air, 82 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.639 so I get to answer them. And some of them 83 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.839 are pretty stupid. We talked about what have we talked 84 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.160 about my cocaine addiction? 85 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.240 And what else? Solid question? That was a solid question. 86 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.680 I talked about it. What else? What other personal? Weird questions? 87 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.160 How the Palace got its name? 88 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.319 Yeah, yes, yes to how the Persian Palace got its name? 89 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.720 That's true. I sold the Persian Palace. I was asked 90 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.360 how much I sold it for? Of your damn business? 91 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.319 What am I going to do when I retire at 92 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.079 some point? I mean, it's not going to be you know, 93 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.120 I'm not going to last another ten years. A lot 94 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.560 of questions. Hey, by the way, Elmer, do we haven't 95 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.000 our guy yet? That's a yes or no question, Elmer, 96 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.120 I'm taking a break. But do we have them when 97 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.360 we come back. Interesting that we have a tech segment. 98 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.879 What okay, so we'll come back with a break. Interestingly enough, 99 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.279 this is a tech segment. Think about that for a moment, 100 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.839 and we couldn't connect. 101 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.759 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I 102 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.680 am six forty. 103 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:47.000 It's Tech Tuesday, which means Richard Morrows with us our 104 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.279 tech guy, and rich I want to point something out 105 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.360 since this is our tech segment. 106 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:52.920 I find it. 107 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.399 Ironic that we were having tech problems getting you on 108 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.199 the air this morning. 109 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.480 Isn't that great? 110 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.600 Bill? It's the reason I stay employed. Come on, I mean, 111 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.800 I'm a whole show dedicated to tech issues. 112 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:06.439 No, I get it. And you should have heard us 113 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.120 spin while you were gone. 114 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.879 We were Neil and I were just all over the place, 115 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.839 just having a good time, and there's plenty to talk about, 116 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.319 but we decided we'd rather sound stupid than, of course, 117 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.120 give you information. 118 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.120 Okay, The big story, and I mean the big story. 119 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:28.040 Is about that Chinese startup, Deep Seek, and I talked 120 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.959 a little bit about it this morning. Obviously, my expertise 121 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.120 in this one is limited versus your understanding and you 122 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:41.120 looking into this, it is extraordinarily important both on a 123 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.800 technical aspect of a technical level, geopolitical level, financial level. 124 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.040 So I'm going to let you dive into this and 125 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.160 talk about what this means and what it will mean. 126 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.600 Yeah, so many aspects to this, but deep seek at 127 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.920 its basic core is, you know, the Chinese equivalent of 128 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.360 chat GPT. So they're doing what open ai is doing. 129 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.879 They came out with the chatbot that you can ask 130 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.319 questions to do research with whatever you need to do. 131 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.160 It's very similar to what chat GBT offers. But the 132 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.160 big difference is that they say they have created this 133 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.360 at a fraction of the price that US companies have 134 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.279 invested in their AI. So the implications, like you said, 135 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.120 are far reaching because not only does this mean hey, wait, 136 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.000 it's a gut check for Silicon Valley here in the US, 137 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.120 but also for investors who have put all this money 138 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.399 into Nvidia saying, oh, these these chips are going to 139 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.399 be the future of everything, and they're expensive and you know, 140 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.000 of course we saw the stock take a dive yesterday. 141 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.000 But also, like you said, the geopolitical implications, like if 142 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.279 Americans start using deep seek in a big way, what 143 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.519 are the implications to privacy and the stuff that we've 144 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.360 seen with TikTok So. A lot surrounding this, but the 145 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.040 bottom line is it's gone from zero to one hundred 146 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.360 pretty much overnight, and the app is now number one 147 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.759 for both the iPhone and Android. And it's a Chinese 148 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.040 version of chat ChiPT basically, but it works in English 149 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:12.399 as well. 150 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.279 Okay, So the geopolitical aspect also has to do with 151 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.279 China being ahead of us technologically, which the Trump administration 152 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.160 has rightly said, we do not want that to happen. 153 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.879 We have to stay ahead of China, particularly with. 154 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.680 These trade wars, and simply because their enemies of ours 155 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.480 are not enemies, certainly adversaries. You had said that, Oh, 156 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.200 and the power also the power that it takes, the 157 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:43.000 energy that it takes to run the AI with the 158 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.000 US made chips. Now you said, they say it can 159 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.399 do the same thing the Chinese. What is your take 160 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:51.759 on this? 161 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.960 Is it real? Is it not? Rechael? 162 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.960 Well, I mean, look, I mean like everyone else have 163 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.840 tried it and you know, tested it out. It's giving 164 00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.159 it answers that seem very much in line with what 165 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.600 open ai does or what Google's Gemini may do. Is 166 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.000 it as full featured? Perhaps not? But the other aspect 167 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.360 of this is not only do they make this for 168 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.720 a less financial amount, but they also kind of came 169 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:21.159 up with a efficiency in the way that AI is conducted. 170 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:27.639 So these computers don't necessarily computate the entire question all 171 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.200 at once. They look for kind of patterns in the 172 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.440 questions that people ask, and if it's already figured something out, 173 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.759 it doesn't need to rehash that. And I think that's 174 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.679 a big differentiator from what open ai and chat gbt 175 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.000 is doing because we've heard bill so much about the 176 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.600 energy and computing resources that AI takes. So if China 177 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.080 did crack something in the code to say, hey, look 178 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.159 we can do this, not only does it cost less 179 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.840 to set it up, but it should cost less over time. 180 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.360 It up ends so many things and so many assumptions 181 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:02.360 we've had about AI. Chatchybt charges twenty dollars a month 182 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.399 for you know, consumers if they want the premium version, 183 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.320 or two hundred dollars a month for the super pro version, 184 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.480 whereas this company is saying they can do it for 185 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.279 even cheaper than that as well. 186 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.480 And I mean this guy who started it is Chinese. 187 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.879 He owns a hedge fund. I mean just what a 188 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.840 brilliant man. And he's only twelve years old. I understand 189 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:26.879 because all of those guys I was. 190 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.799 Born in nineteen eighty five and he runs eight billion 191 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.879 dollar hedge fund, so you know, and he's been fast. 192 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.960 He's not an overnight success like this guy has done 193 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.039 things before in the past. It's just that I think 194 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.519 they wanted to take everyone by surprise with this. The 195 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.600 other aspect of Bill is that, by the way, this 196 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.120 is all open source. What does that mean. It means 197 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.240 that anyone can take their model for free and use it. 198 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.159 So that means if you're sitting there trying to use 199 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.559 you know, CHATCHYBT on the back end of your new 200 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.279 tech product, and you're paying them ten thousand dollars a 201 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.679 month for their uh, you know, for the ability to 202 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.120 use that, now you might say, oh, actually, we'll just 203 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:08.200 take this free, open source model and we'll modify it 204 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.639 and make it our own. And by the way, it's free. 205 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.080 And uh, just just a quick word about the politics 206 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.120 of all this, because of course Trump administration talks about 207 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.159 China being such an adversary and we have to stay ahead. 208 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:27.279 They released this the day that Trump was inaugurated. Yeah, 209 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:28.080 that's what I read. 210 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.240 Yeah, I mean it took it took a bit for 211 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.240 people to notice it, but you're right. I mean, look this, 212 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.039 I mean, any any country in the world right now 213 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.039 wants to be a superpower and AI because it is 214 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.000 the future. It is where everyone is looking. And of 215 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.159 course China is a big country. They've got a lot 216 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.159 of resources, They make a lot of the chips that 217 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.759 are out there, they have a lot of this knowledge. 218 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.799 And so the fact is the US is seen as 219 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.320 a superpower, but this just put a dent in that. 220 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.159 And it remains to be seen just how much this 221 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:00.919 is going to have an impact in the US. If 222 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.360 it's anything like TikTok, it could be pretty big. But also, 223 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.240 like you said, it does have political ramifications and also 224 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.679 you know, security and privacy ramifications as well. People are 225 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.440 going to be putting a lot of personal information into 226 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.679 this chatbot and. 227 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.080 It's Chinese owned. All right, Rich, thank you. We'll talk 228 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.720 again next Wednesday and we'll do two segments probably you 229 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:22.559 take care good. 230 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.679 All right, Coming up, the CDC has been ordered to 231 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.080 stop talking with the World Health Organization. I mean that 232 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.840 one took everybody for a spin. And I'll share that 233 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.799 information with you and then just a fun, fun story 234 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.279 as we end up. Do you have a favorite child? 235 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.559 Were you a favorite child? There's some studies that just 236 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.000 came out, a big one that just came out, and 237 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.120 of course a personal story. 238 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.279 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 239 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:52.879 six forty. 240 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.960 There is a memo that was just sent to senior 241 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.879 leaders at the CDC saying all staff. 242 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.559 Who work with the World Health Organization have to stop. 243 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.639 They can't talk to the World Health Organization anymore and 244 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.200 have to wait further guidance. 245 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.320 And man, this was a surprise to everybody. 246 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.440 Now let me tell you what the who does with 247 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.399 the CDC stops outbreaks of Marlberg virus MPOs in Africa, 248 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:32.919 brewing global threats, and we have the bird flu monitoring 249 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.679 among us livestock that the World Health Organization is dealing with, 250 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:43.240 and it applies to CDC staff, I mean across the board, 251 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.360 working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, any other means of 252 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:53.759 connecting in person or virtual. CDC staff can't even visit 253 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.759 World Health Organization offices and if there is no street 254 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.600 parking in front of the World Health Organization, they're not 255 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.360 allowed to park anywhere on the street in front of 256 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.519 the WHO offices. 257 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.320 By the way, that's not true. I just made that 258 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:10.759 one up. 259 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.200 The point is that no one understands why the US 260 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.720 is withdrawing from the World Health Organization. 261 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:20.320 And here's the other one. 262 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:27.279 Leaving the WHO requires the approval of Congress. US has 263 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.240 to meet its financial obligation for the current fistal year. 264 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.600 The US has to give a one year notice. None 265 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:39.840 of that has happened. The Trump administration has just unilaterally 266 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.120 said we're done with the World Health Organization. 267 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.120 Now there's stuff that makes sense that the Trump. 268 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.240 People are doing, and then some that you go please, 269 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.519 I mean, come on, some stuff it doesn't matter. The 270 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.960 Gulf of America, that doesn't matter. Pulling out of the 271 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.480 World Health Organization. But that's no joke. And the president 272 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:08.840 also froze spending on something called PEPFAR, the President's Emergency 273 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:15.519 Plan for AIDS Relief that stopped. That's an anti HIV 274 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:20.080 program credited with saving twenty five million lives five and 275 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:26.000 a half million children, started by President h President George W. Bush, 276 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.000 and it's included and the Trump administration's freeze on foreign 277 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:36.840 aid spending that lasts at least ninety days while they 278 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.679 look at it. My god, I hope that the administration 279 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.440 does not cut it off or not dealing with the 280 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.720 World Health Organization. 281 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.240 I mean, please, I mean, is there a reason for it? 282 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.120 I haven't seen it. 283 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.679 Maybe there is, maybe there's a good reason. But as 284 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:57.600 I've said several times, we're going to see a shakeup 285 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:01.639 of the government that already started day one. And this 286 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:06.120 one is this is the World Health Organization? How political 287 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:06.720 can that be? 288 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:09.399 What is going on? 289 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.320 I mean, the CDC and the who talk to each other, 290 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.360 the scientists deal with each other, the researchers send each 291 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:24.039 other the research, and that's been cut off. 292 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.000 You know, maybe I gotta tell you I I have. 293 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.600 To look at this and we'll see how it can 294 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.399 be explained because I don't get it. This one I 295 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:33.960 don't get. Now, let's just have fun. Let's end it 296 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.159 with fun today because its been pretty serious. Do you 297 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.399 have a favorite child? Are you a favorite child? Do 298 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.159 your parents hate you or did hate you? Uh? 299 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.200 There is a massive new study that just come out 300 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.480 just about that. And then a couple of personal stories 301 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:52.399 I want to share with you. 302 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:58.759 One incredibly political run a Ronald Reagan story, which is 303 00:16:58.799 --> 00:16:59.200 kind of fun. 304 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.080 I'll start with that one. When we come back. 305 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.440 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 306 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:13.400 six forty. 307 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.440 After the show off the air, I'm taking phone calls 308 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.319 for Handle on the Law. If you have a marginal 309 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.839 legal question, I will answer it off the air, and 310 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.759 we're gonna go through them pretty quickly. In the numbers 311 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.839 eight seven seven five to zero eleven fifty eight seven 312 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.119 seven five to zero eleven fifty. 313 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:26.359 I want to tell you a story. 314 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.119 At one point I broadcast Handle on the Law at 315 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:35.480 an outside studio and next to me was Michael Reagan, 316 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.279 who was broadcasting the son of Ronald Reagan, and we 317 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.720 used to hang out, we talk, and I asked him 318 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:47.599 one day, Michael, you and your sister Maureen were adopted 319 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:56.960 when Ronald Reagan was married to Maureen O'Hara and Nancy Reagan, 320 00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:58.319 and your dad had. 321 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:02.680 Two biological children. Were you treated differently? 322 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.200 And he said, well, first of all, my dad didn't 323 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.480 pay attention to any of us. My mom, my mom, 324 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.400 and remember that I was adopted by mareno harre and 325 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.960 Ronald Reagan. My mom, Nancy Reagan hated all of us equally. 326 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:26.279 There was no favorite child, and So there's a study 327 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.480 that just came out, and it's a big one that 328 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.839 just came out that involved many studies, and it had 329 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.799 to do with do you have a favorite child? And 330 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:42.160 most of us will say you don't. I don't have 331 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.119 a favorite child. There are certain aspects of one kid 332 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.960 I like, there are certain aspects of another kid, the 333 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.759 other child I have. I have two versions of my 334 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.920 family trust. One has well actually three versions. One has 335 00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.920 all the kids both kids in it, one has only 336 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.240 one and the other one has the other one. And 337 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.079 every time I get into a fight with one of them, 338 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.279 I show them the trust where the other one gets 339 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:08.920 all the money. 340 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.279 And I do the. 341 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.720 Same thing when I get into a fight, for example, 342 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.839 with Barbara, I show the trust that Pamela gets all 343 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.279 the money. So do I have a favorite child? I 344 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.200 don't think so I try. 345 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.440 To treat each of them equally. The reality is most 346 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.720 of us do have a favorite child. If you have 347 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:31.920 multiple kids, and birth. 348 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:35.920 Order may have something to do with temperament, gender, the 349 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:40.839 way the kids relate to you. Favoritism can be temporary 350 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.920 in my case, for example, doesn't mean you're immune from preferring. 351 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.839 To spend time with one or the other. 352 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.279 Maybe you just like one more than the other, You 353 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.200 just have the same interests with one more than the other. 354 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.119 But here's what the study shows. 355 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.119 Favorite children have better mental health, better grades, more ability 356 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.000 to regulate their emotions, healthier relationships. 357 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.720 Kids who get preferential treatments just do better. 358 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.599 The other side is they may get over indulge and 359 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.720 they don't have the skills that they need to be 360 00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:20.000 taught for later in life. Also, they might get the 361 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.839 message they have to perform in certain ways to get 362 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:28.759 attention and care. And so let me ask you, Neil, 363 00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.720 you know you have kids who do you like better? 364 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.400 Max or Max? Oh? 365 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.160 I gotta say Max. I will tell you a funny story. 366 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.319 Though. 367 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.160 There's seven kids of my family, of which I'm number six, 368 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:47.559 and six of us are boys. And my brother Craig 369 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:50.079 wrote my mom or sent my mom a gift and 370 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.400 wrote a note saying, from your favorite son, and she 371 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:54.519 called me to thank me. 372 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.200 Well, there you go. 373 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:02.200 That works out all right, guys. We are done for today. 374 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.119 We start all over all over again tomorrow. I think 375 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.039 Amy comes back tomorrow.
