Speaker 1: sit down restaurant, designation resident, resident restaurant.
Speaker 3: All right, let's do it, guys, I've got plenty to cover.
Speaker 2: Boy, what a week broke? What did you just stroke

Speaker 3: Designation restaurant?
Speaker 2: Yeah, destination restauran.
Speaker 3: Yeah that too.
Speaker 1: It's a designation restaurant that is also a destination restaurant.
Speaker 3: I think that is.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's true.
Speaker 3: The dog Linds is coming down with the dogs. By
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 2: Uh, you've got to get trumpets or something.
Speaker 3: But I know, I know it's this one's loud. This
Speaker 3: is loud, and I left the door.
Speaker 1: Open to all right, anyway, are you ready for the
Speaker 1: designation show we're about to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, was a dog, it'd be put down.
Speaker 1: I know. I don't management as they've already stopped telling
Speaker 1: us what to do on the show.
Speaker 3: They've given up the ghost. You know that don't you.
Speaker 1: See now the elevator is going down. See you have
Speaker 1: to call it to go up. Uh, and then it
Speaker 1: has to be called then you have to take it down.
Speaker 1: So that's what you're hearing in the background. You know,
Speaker 1: it generally only happens once.
Speaker 4: Do you take the elevator down in the morning.
Speaker 1: I do because I'm my foot I'm in a boot, right,
Speaker 1: I'm in a boot, and I get my pin out
Speaker 1: on Friday and then I'll be able to walk down.
Speaker 2: You just call it up to the top and stay
Speaker 2: at the top.
Speaker 3: No, it's a weird. Yeah you can, and I do.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know why it went twice and
Speaker 1: should only have gone down one, not because I took
Speaker 1: it down this morning and then it to No, I
Speaker 1: can't send it back up. It doesn't have It's not
Speaker 1: a blast oh five thousand A lame.
Speaker 3: Oh, it is not a lame. It is not a lame.
Speaker 1: It's one of those pneumatic tube elevators. They're really neat,
Speaker 1: like all the pieces. No, yeah, yeah, but a big
Speaker 1: but a big version.
Speaker 3: Do you know what it looks like?
Speaker 1: A transporter beam sort of an enclosed transporter device on
Speaker 1: Star on Star Trek it's around the cylinder plexiglass. They
Speaker 1: just go up and down. You can take a look
Speaker 1: at it.
Speaker 3: Look under pneumatic elevators on the U just.
Speaker 1: To do a Google search and you'll see what they
Speaker 1: look like. Very very neat, very neat things. And I've
Speaker 1: put one in and the reason I put in my
Speaker 1: last house too, because what happens with people by two
Speaker 1: this is think about this for a moment and it
Speaker 1: makes sense. First of all, if you have a foot problem,
Speaker 1: I mean a real foot problem, I would have to
Speaker 1: be sleeping downstairs for two weeks with my foot surgery
Speaker 1: because I couldn't walk up the stairs.
Speaker 3: That's for starters.
Speaker 1: Second of all, is we all live in two story homes.
Speaker 1: Very few people live in single story homes.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I got to tell you.
Speaker 1: People get old and when you hit a certain age,
Speaker 1: which I hit yesterday, it's you have to move.
Speaker 3: You can't walk up the stairs anymore.
Speaker 1: When people get old, it's just difficult and you have
Speaker 1: to sell your house.
Speaker 3: And with an elevator, you don't you stay there. And
Speaker 3: I'm pardoned.
Speaker 2: Oh it's not his birthday, No, No, what did you.
Speaker 4: Say about yesterday?
Speaker 1: He was just getting old and I said yesterday it
Speaker 1: happened to me.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do let's do it. Handle on the news,
Speaker 3: Amy Neil and me lead.
Speaker 1: Story as horrible story coming out of Gaza. Thirty people killed,
Speaker 1: hundreds wounded, and it was at an aid center in Israel.
Speaker 1: Course said, oh no, we didn't do it, and basically
Speaker 1: everybody else said that Israel did it, and thirty one
Speaker 1: people have been killed. What Israel is doing to the Palestinians,
Speaker 1: the people of Gaza is unconscionable, unconscionable.
Speaker 3: I am surprised that Israel.
Speaker 1: Has not yet been designated a pariah country, where other
Speaker 1: countries have just stopped having relations with them, pulling ambassadors
Speaker 1: and just cutting off, cutting off connections with the country.
Speaker 3: Just shocked.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do with
Speaker 1: that Gaza is controlled by terrorists and that's what they're about,
Speaker 1: and the fight against Hamas is legitimate. The problem is
Speaker 1: that the Palestinians live there, and over fifty thousand have
Speaker 1: been killed. We don't know how many are fighters, probably
Speaker 1: about a third.
Speaker 3: Which means two thirds of those people killed.
Speaker 1: Two thirds of fifty four thousand people are a lot
Speaker 1: of men, women and children who are innocent.
Speaker 3: All right, let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and then we'll really dive into the
Speaker 1: news and I'll take a ride up and down the
Speaker 1: elevator if you don't mind.
Speaker 2: Oh, I got a new name for your for your house.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, oh good, don't we'll do that when we
Speaker 1: come back.
Speaker 2: No, I'll do it right now. But what its perishing palace?
Speaker 3: The perishing palace.
Speaker 2: Because you got an elevator so you could die there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's not bad. We'll tell that's another thing.
Speaker 1: We'll have a contest with that too. It's the Bill
Speaker 1: Handle show.
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm here, I'm here. I was talking to
Speaker 3: Linz all right. She came in. We were talking out
Speaker 3: so totally distracted.
Speaker 1: We were talking about her coming down the elevator in
Speaker 1: the morning, and she suggested Cono that when you hear
Speaker 1: the elevator, you break out in some kind of coronation music.
Speaker 3: That was her idea, you know, as we make a
Speaker 3: fan fare.
Speaker 1: As Amy pointed out the elevator this morning and started laughing.
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, oh yeah, we have a show to do.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: We're in the middle of the new aren't we.
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, well, there you are, all right, Uh, let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and do that more.
Speaker 3: Handle on the news with Amy and Neil and me.
Speaker 6: Ukraine may be down, but it's not out. It hit
Speaker 6: Russia in a big way.
Speaker 4: Over the weekend.
Speaker 6: Ukrainian forces used drones to destroy dozens of Russian warplanes
Speaker 6: deep inside Russian territories. So what they did this is
Speaker 6: absolutely fascinating, is they had basically what looked like mobile
Speaker 6: homes on the back of trucks and in them were
Speaker 6: hidden all these drones. And so as they got closer
Speaker 6: to where the military targets were, Ukraine opened up the
Speaker 6: roofs and the drones flew out and attacked.
Speaker 1: They looked like they were basically containers on college on
Speaker 1: trucks like you were describing, and it wasn't they well
Speaker 1: they opened it up, but it was remote control. They
Speaker 1: the roofs were mechanized, so someone pulled the remote control,
Speaker 1: the tops rolled off somehow, and the drones all took
Speaker 1: off and went for this airfield.
Speaker 2: So modern day trojan horse.
Speaker 3: Exactly what that was.
Speaker 1: And a third of the Russian air force of those
Speaker 1: bombers were put out, forty of them forty big time.
Speaker 1: It cost billions of dollars and years to replace them.
Speaker 4: And the drones were like something you could they.
Speaker 3: Were modified five hundred dollars drones Amazon.
Speaker 1: So you take out an eight hundred million dollar bomber
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollar bomber with a five hundred dollars drone.
Speaker 3: Okay, war has gotten interesting? Hasn't it work?
Speaker 2: Smarter not harder?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: A lot of controversy surrounding this.
Speaker 5: A transgender athlete best did the competition Saturday at the
Speaker 5: California High School Track and Field Competition to take home
Speaker 5: the gold and the girl's high jump and triple jump
Speaker 5: at a meat Obviously, people have a lot of different
Speaker 5: views about this. The individual's name ab Hernandez finished the
Speaker 5: high jump with a mark of five feet seven inches
Speaker 5: one point seven meters with no failed attents, but there
Speaker 5: were co winners, is it Jelene Jelene Wetteland and Leilanie.
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Exactly, well said this is you remember they changed the rules.
Speaker 1: We talked about this last last week. Where this track
Speaker 1: and field you have the winner who if it's trans,
Speaker 1: if she usually of course he has to be a
Speaker 1: she because it's women's sports. Is a trans then the
Speaker 1: non trans net the next one up is also a winner,
Speaker 1: so there are two winners.
Speaker 3: If a trans wins, it's it's insanity.
Speaker 6: I don't understand how that work though, because I thought
Speaker 6: with the high jump, you keep going until you right
Speaker 6: well clear the highest turtles.
Speaker 3: I know, I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I don't understand because well, first of all, she would
Speaker 1: have won, and then they have to go back to
Speaker 1: you know what do we do.
Speaker 3: We follow the CIF rules and do rules. I don't
Speaker 3: understand any of it.
Speaker 1: I really don't. I'm waiting for the gender relief parties
Speaker 1: where you have, you know, these explosions of both blue
Speaker 1: and pink talcum powder flying in the air because and
Speaker 1: you say, my kid's a hermaphrodite. It's just it's become
Speaker 1: completely crazy.
Speaker 3: I would do that, by the way, or okay, let's
Speaker 3: move on.
Speaker 5: So there's got to be some we're not stupid people,
Speaker 5: there's got to be some way to think through this
Speaker 5: so that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's real easy.
Speaker 1: Trans women cannot compete because the physiologically they are different.
Speaker 3: So that one is different.
Speaker 5: But if they're athletes, they should be able to compete somewhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Again, in the sports, you have paralegal or you
Speaker 1: have the Paralympics, which didn't exist before. Yeah, those are
Speaker 1: just people want to be lawyers. They have their own,
Speaker 1: but Paralympics they have. And I don't know why you
Speaker 1: can't have, you know, LGBTQ Olympics.
Speaker 4: Well, you wouldn't have LGBTQ.
Speaker 3: It just for trans well not necessarily, you have a
Speaker 3: trans division of it.
Speaker 6: Right, but I mean if you're if you're lesbian, you
Speaker 6: can still run with the women, right.
Speaker 3: Well you yeah, you have to run with the women
Speaker 3: because you're dear.
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be an LGBTQ category.
Speaker 3: But no, but you have let me put it this way.
Speaker 1: You you would have day runners right because they're it's
Speaker 1: a disadvantage. They're running in two two's and they have
Speaker 1: bows around their neck and it's just not the same.
Speaker 4: Uh no, no.
Speaker 2: It's visual two twos.
Speaker 4: Let's just move on, OKAYU.
Speaker 6: On a much more serious subject, Terror and Bolder, A
Speaker 6: group was out supporting the release of hostages held by
Speaker 6: Hamas on a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado. When someone
Speaker 6: comes up and hurls what appears to be like a
Speaker 6: homemade flamethrower or Molotov cocktail or something at the group
Speaker 6: basically burns them. Eight people are injured, four men, four women.
Speaker 6: We don't know their condition, but we know it is
Speaker 6: at least very serious. The guy was yelling free Palestine
Speaker 6: and was taken into custody without incident to police.
Speaker 3: Did you see the video.
Speaker 1: They have a video of him with the two bottles
Speaker 1: in his hands, one in each hand, glass bottles, clearly
Speaker 1: which had yasoline in him because some flammable liquid, and
Speaker 1: he's screaming, and they have the video of him doing it,
Speaker 1: doesn't show him throwing the bottles or somehow igniting the
Speaker 1: fla flammable liquid on someone.
Speaker 3: I mean, two people are in real trouble there too. Medically.
Speaker 3: It's pretty horrific, to say the least.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break and come back
Speaker 1: and we'll engage in more Handle on the News.
Speaker 3: Good morning, everybody. Handle here.
Speaker 1: It is a Monday morning, June two, as we're getting
Speaker 1: close to summertime.
Speaker 3: Solstice is at twenty first, right Amy.
Speaker 4: It's actually on Friday seventh, the twentieth.
Speaker 3: Oh the twentieth this year.
Speaker 1: Okay, ye, fair enough, all right, let's do it. More
Speaker 1: Handle on the News with Amy neil Me.
Speaker 5: All right, this is scary if you think about it.
Speaker 5: Law enforcement investigation is underway. They're looking into the fact
Speaker 5: that somebody tried to impersonate penal President Donald Trump's chief
Speaker 5: of staff, Susie Wiles, and I guess they were writing,
Speaker 5: texting and doing things to senators, being in contact with governors,
Speaker 5: top u, US business executives and very well known figures
Speaker 5: that received these text messages phone calls from a person
Speaker 5: who claimed to be the chief of staff. So you
Speaker 5: could see where that would be problematic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of them, some of the recipients said,
Speaker 1: we knew something was wrong, you know, just the way
Speaker 1: the messages were written. So you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: how much damage was done, but yeah, you know, you
Speaker 1: don't want to do that chief of staff to the
Speaker 1: President of United States, And all of a sudden, these
Speaker 1: fake texts and emails are going out.
Speaker 3: I can see the problem now.
Speaker 6: Well, and they're using AI too, so it sounds like
Speaker 6: Susie Wise.
Speaker 3: Just sounds it.
Speaker 1: And when you you know, but when you see a
Speaker 1: text that goes out to one of the department heads
Speaker 1: from Susie Willis's what are you wearing today, sailor?
Speaker 3: You know you know something is wrong.
Speaker 5: You know, if we we were trying to imitate you,
Speaker 5: we'd have to type in the prompt to do malaprops
Speaker 5: and misspeaks and excellent.
Speaker 6: If these companies have pride, they're not owing it this
Speaker 6: Pride Month. A lot of retail chains and brands are
Speaker 6: keeping quiet. Companies treading lightly, avoiding big campaigns that have
Speaker 6: been done in the past that you may remember, windows
Speaker 6: with rainbow flags and LGBTQ themed T shirts and coffee
Speaker 6: mugs at the entrances target. They're scaling that way back
Speaker 6: this year, wary of provoking right wing customers and activists.
Speaker 6: And they say they also are refering reprint reprisals from
Speaker 6: the Trump administration. A lot of businesses too, say they're
Speaker 6: tightening their advertising spending because of economic concern.
Speaker 1: But how much of it is the I'd love to
Speaker 1: see the proportion of the decrease of spending total relative
Speaker 1: to the LGBTQ the pride advertising they do. You know
Speaker 1: what's interesting is over nine percent of the population now
Speaker 1: identifies as LGBTQ. It's a lot of people. That is
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and these companies are caught between
Speaker 1: a rock and a hard place.
Speaker 3: Which way do you go? You know, pride used to
Speaker 3: do be a thing.
Speaker 1: Now good luck now because the power of the right wing,
Speaker 1: which is what we're going through at this point in life.
Speaker 5: It's a shame because there was a lot of progress,
Speaker 5: and I think the trans question is a hard one
Speaker 5: to swallow across the board from people.
Speaker 1: Notice you use the word progress. There'd be a lot
Speaker 1: of people who disagree with that. Describing what was going
Speaker 1: in that direction is progress. They would be calling it regressive.
Speaker 1: Move back back to the anti Bible.
Speaker 3: Days right now. I just men were men and women
Speaker 3: were women.
Speaker 5: No, I can show you some. I can show you
Speaker 5: gays in the Bible. Really absolutely who was gay in
Speaker 5: the Bible? There were I'm not a big Bible guy.
Speaker 5: I don't read the Bible, so I just read.
Speaker 2: You know, for this man, there's man on man and
Speaker 2: woman on woman sex in scripture referenced.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Seriously they could.
Speaker 5: If they made an accurate movie of the Bible, there
Speaker 5: would be no Christian that would be allowed to see it.
Speaker 1: Well, he said the Old Testament, man, I love the
Speaker 1: God of the Old Testament.
Speaker 3: That was one rough guy. Uh you know you went
Speaker 3: on his rough side.
Speaker 1: Man, you die, you were a slave, or you died,
Speaker 1: or your wife became a pillar of salt and your
Speaker 1: otherwise became seasoned pepper.
Speaker 2: But you get some tequila and live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know that with your wife. All right.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry to have to be the one to
Speaker 2: read this.
Speaker 5: I feel like this is going to cause problems between
Speaker 5: handle and me. So US Health and Human Services Secretary
Speaker 5: Robert F. Kennedy Junior, going after all the things that
Speaker 5: cause chronic health prices in America or whatever. He thinks
Speaker 5: zero calories, zero had sugar, But experts say diet coke
Speaker 5: is not generally considered a healthy beverage.
Speaker 2: All kinds of studies show.
Speaker 5: May increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. We hey,
Speaker 5: we witnessed this on a daily basis.
Speaker 3: News will suck down his coke. When you were saying that,
Speaker 3: you know what.
Speaker 5: They're saying, though, This is about the sweetener, the artificial I.
Speaker 3: Know what I use. Asked me. You know, I do
Speaker 3: nothing but drink aspartain my iced tea, and I just.
Speaker 2: Think about That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Esprestle each day. Yeah, how is that different?
Speaker 3: It's not And okay, go on, I just don't want
Speaker 3: to hear that because it's just not true.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't upset your buddy.

Speaker 1: There's a lie, you know, I you know when I
Speaker 1: hear fake news, the term fake news.

Speaker 5: and cheese sandwiches will kill you too.
Speaker 3: That's true. That's true. Amy, one last one before we
Speaker 3: take a break.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 6: So there's a new protective net up at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 6: But it's not for foul balls. It's for falling concrete.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers put some netting around a small section of
Speaker 6: the upper deck at the stadium on Saturday after a
Speaker 6: chunk of concrete fell on a fan during Friday, the
Speaker 6: night's game against the Yankees. It hit the fan from
Speaker 6: above in section ten of the reserve level, right along
Speaker 6: the first baseline. The fan did receive medical attention, but
Speaker 6: then said, I'm okay. Stayed for the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: So are we going to have a falling concrete day
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4: Now they put net up.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a shame. All right, let's take a break,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. Let's finish handle on the news with
Speaker 1: Amy neil Me.
Speaker 5: In the category of rotten hell. California State Parole Board
Speaker 5: recommended parole for Patricia Crenwinkle, a follower of the cult
Speaker 5: leader Charles Manson.
Speaker 2: This was on Friday. This is the second time.
Speaker 5: She's seventy seven years old now serving a life sentence
Speaker 5: in California Institution for Women in her role of the
Speaker 5: killings of the pregnant actor Sharon Tate and four other
Speaker 5: people there in August of nineteen sixty nine. And it
Speaker 5: looks like, you know, this has to go through the
Speaker 5: governor's review and the parole board hearing and all of that.
Speaker 5: But this can take up to one hundred and fifty
Speaker 5: days or so. And last time Gavin k Newso gave
Speaker 5: it the big thumbs down, and I hope.
Speaker 2: He does the same thing this time.
Speaker 3: Well, he's the way it works. Parole Board says, yep,
Speaker 3: she's ready for parole.
Speaker 1: We're okay with it, and then goes to the governor
Speaker 1: and the governor says no, thank you, and can deny it.
Speaker 1: And this is one of the situations where it's one
Speaker 1: of the things parole board does is say yay your
Speaker 1: name based on and usually whether they're still a risk
Speaker 1: to society. Well, you got a seventy seven year old
Speaker 1: or a seventy five year old, there's no risk anymore
Speaker 1: of going out and killing people.
Speaker 3: But sometimes the.
Speaker 1: Crime is so horrific that there's just no chance, there's
Speaker 1: no thank you. You're going to spend the rest of
Speaker 1: your life in jail, especially someone like this who was
Speaker 1: originally given the death sentence for the murder. I mean,
Speaker 1: these murders were heinous. This isn't your normal just killing people,
Speaker 1: part of the Manson murders. And so is she going
Speaker 1: to be let out? Yeah? Probably men, she's been in
Speaker 1: prison for so long. I told you I went to
Speaker 1: the Manson trials. I went to a couple of.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: No graduation for you.
Speaker 6: The twenty twenty five class president at MIT was barred
Speaker 6: from going to her graduation ceremony on Friday after she
Speaker 6: delivered a speech on Thursday denouncing the war in Gaza.
Speaker 6: It was a commencement event. She will still get her degree,
Speaker 6: according to mi T, but the class president was supposed
Speaker 6: to be the speaker at the one MIT commencement ceremony.
Speaker 6: She took the podium though with a cafia I don't
Speaker 6: know how to say, yeah, which is a symbol of
Speaker 6: pro Palestinian solidarity, draped over a graduation robe. But she
Speaker 6: went on to praise her peers for protesting the war
Speaker 6: in Gaza and criticized the university's ties to Israel, and
Speaker 6: then MIT pulled the plug on Yeah.
Speaker 3: They said, no, thank you. You know, we're not going
Speaker 3: to have that kind of a political statement.
Speaker 1: But you all seen the key of it, particularly that
Speaker 1: that head garb that is worn by a lot of
Speaker 1: h in this case the Palestinians. Theirs have a very
Speaker 1: distinctive head covering. It looks like they went to an
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant the night before and stole the tablecloth and
Speaker 1: are now wearing it.
Speaker 4: It's like the red and white and the black and
Speaker 4: white checkered Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the check I actually have that one. I brought
Speaker 5: one back from Jordan when I when I visited, right,
Speaker 5: we went.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't get the Palestinian one, but I got
Speaker 1: the white one, right, because the Saudis wear white.
Speaker 2: And I think I have black black, and.
Speaker 1: They also you can see black certain groups where black.
Speaker 1: I think Moroccan they wear black and the black Cafiet
Speaker 1: and the Palestinians have their own. And it's political statement
Speaker 1: today to say that, and I just said, no politics,
Speaker 1: it's just not going to happen. Also, being pro Palestinian
Speaker 1: and not so much, you know, that doesn't really fly.
Speaker 1: What they did during the Vietnam War. I think there
Speaker 1: were people that also graduates who you know, wore t
Speaker 1: shirts and things, and I think they got nailed to
Speaker 1: saying no, you're not going to down the graduation with that.
Speaker 1: I went down with a hat, that chef's hat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, law on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did big.
Speaker 2: Your parents must have been so proud.
Speaker 3: Proud, beyond belief. Do we have that picture, by.
Speaker 2: The way, I've seen it on your post before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do we have it.
Speaker 1: I don't have it at archives. I have to find
Speaker 1: it and we'll send it out.
Speaker 5: We don't have the bill Handle Photograph archive. If that's
Speaker 5: what you're wondering.
Speaker 1: You have a lot of bill Handle Archive. You have
Speaker 1: a lot of archives of everybody.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that there isn't. It's not like you know,
Speaker 5: Smithsonian or something.
Speaker 1: You know, but you have tons of you know, Conway stuff,
Speaker 1: and tons of John and Ken stuff.
Speaker 3: You've got plenty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have any room for you.
Speaker 3: Well, there you go. That's something else.
Speaker 2: It's all co belt, all right, Huntington Beach.
Speaker 5: If you were listening to Tavid King earlier in the news,
Speaker 5: city officials in Huntington Beach enforcing a crackdown on street vending.
Speaker 2: Now this this isn't across the board. They do.
Speaker 5: You can get a permit to do this, selling food, merchandise,
Speaker 5: these types of things in public, but you can't do
Speaker 5: it in certain areas. So that on the beach, the Pier,
Speaker 5: Pacific Coast Highway, downtown district. That's the no no, and
Speaker 5: they're enforcing it.
Speaker 4: It's been on the books since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that just a permit, and they should make it.
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with this is you got the food
Speaker 1: vendors that are in brick and mortar stores and you
Speaker 1: have a taco a little card or.
Speaker 3: Selling hot dogs or selling fruit.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about interfering with and competing, and I
Speaker 1: think the way you do it the way you get
Speaker 1: a permitted, you get a certain location, and it cannot compete.
Speaker 1: The food cannot compete with what's behind there in a store.
Speaker 1: That makes all this that makes sense.
Speaker 5: They said the same thing about, you know, the food trucks,
Speaker 5: because they park icee food trucks park right in front
Speaker 5: of restaurants.
Speaker 3: Selling the same kind of food.
Speaker 5: Well, not necessarily the exact same, but trust me, in
Speaker 5: Los Angeles, you can't have a taco cart without being
Speaker 5: within one hundred feet of a taco you know, brick.
Speaker 1: And mortar restaurant that serves tacos. All right, we're done, guys,
Speaker 1: Finish feenee.
Speaker 3: Coming up.
Speaker 1: The environmental law that California passed decades ago. It was
Speaker 1: considered the most restrictive environmental law. You know, they're getting
Speaker 1: rid of it. They said, okay, we're done with that.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense, and I'll share that with you
Speaker 1: when we come back.
Speaker 3: You've been listening to The Bill Handle Show.
