WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:04.759 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:05.599 six forty. 3 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.880 KFI AM six forty Bill Handle. Here. 4 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:14.160 It's a Monday morning, February seventeenth. Really bad storms are 5 00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.199 happening across the eastern United States. The storm we had 6 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.440 that caused those torrential floods in the burn areas that 7 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.920 were just crazy, well that storm has moved across the 8 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.359 country and there I don't know how many dozen people dead. 9 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.679 And you've got towns that are at Atlanta, for example, 10 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.280 is the snow. 11 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.840 New Orleans had tons of snow. It's just very, very different. 12 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.039 Kentucky really hard hit, a thousand rescues in less than 13 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:46.039 twenty four hours. 14 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.039 And Netanyahu. 15 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.520 Of Egypt, excuse me, of Israel has pledged to finish 16 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.359 the job against Iran with the full backing of the 17 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.719 United States. Now, one of the things about this administration 18 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.000 I want to share with you is the IRS is 19 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.120 being invaded if you talk to IRS people, by the government, 20 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.200 not so much the government, but by Doge. Doge is 21 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.200 the department of government efficiency. 22 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.439 If you look up the. 23 00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:27.959 Doge Palace, you will see Venice in the Renaissance. 24 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.799 That Venice was ruled by the Doge. 25 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.680 So if you go to Venice, you can visit the palace, 26 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.400 or you can go to the office that Elon Musk 27 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:44.439 is currently using, and that is the Doge Palace. Complete 28 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.920 control of everything he touches. And here's what's going on 29 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.640 with the IRS. And this is what's unique about the IRS. 30 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:58.439 The IRS has a firewall between itself and the rest 31 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.359 of the country. For example, the IRS, even if it 32 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.239 knows someone is illegal, does not share information with the 33 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.439 rest of the government. If there is a real problem 34 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.039 with a taxpayer, it does not share that information. 35 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:16.080 And it makes sense. 36 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.919 Why is that Because they want the taxes and they 37 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.719 don't want things like the law getting in the way. 38 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.919 Even in states where for example, it's illegal to gamble, right, 39 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.039 the IRS still comes. 40 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.719 In if you gamble and make money. They don't care. 41 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.280 We want our money. 42 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.759 And so what's happening with the Department of Government Efficiency 43 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.080 headed by Musk is they're heading into the IRS and 44 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:50.680 grabbing the records of taxpayers. And that changes everything. And 45 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.240 it's an examination of the IRS system. And it's the 46 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.039 latest move by Musk and his team to push the 47 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.479 boundaries of access to government data. There are things that 48 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.439 are kept secret even kept secret from the President, although 49 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.680 he of course has access to everything. Because of this firewall. 50 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.080 They want to keep it. They want plausible deniability. There 51 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:18.680 are reasons why various agencies don't share information with other 52 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:23.919 agencies and the IRS because there is nothing so sacra 53 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.680 sant sacra san good for me. 54 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.960 I make a living doing this. By the way, there 55 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.280 is nothing as important as funding the government. 56 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.919 The government has to be funded, which is really weird 57 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.520 because Republicans and Donald Trump and the administration are looking 58 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.879 to cut budgets of the IRS, looking to eliminate agents 59 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.719 that are examiners and go after people who are tax dodgers. 60 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.400 And you go, wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense, 61 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.240 because if you're fiscally responsible and you want to cut expenses, 62 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.879 you want to reduce the deficit and somehow deal with 63 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:05.800 a national debt. 64 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.199 Which is impossible. Wouldn't you make sure that the hundreds 65 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:10.199 of billions of. 66 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.240 Dollars of scofflaws out there who are not paying taxes 67 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.040 would be nailed by the IRS. 68 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.839 And there aren't enough agents to begin with. 69 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.680 So what he has done, Musk is he sent these 70 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:32.720 very very bright young computer geeks and getting all this 71 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.680 information and how young are these computer geeks. Well, look 72 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.000 at the major new platforms that have been created over 73 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:48.519 the years, Facebook, TikTok, Microsoft. Every one of those guys 74 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.120 were under the age of thirteen. 75 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:50.879 You know that, don't you? 76 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.279 I mean young, young, young. How many billionaires aren't there? 77 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:57.240 They're in their twenties. 78 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.759 That's who going after the IRS. 79 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.319 Also, the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson said last week he 80 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:11.160 wants to update the and antiquated technology of the IRS. 81 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.079 There's two things I don't understand. The technology is antiquated 82 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.040 to agencies of the government won the IRS. You think 83 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.959 that'd be at the top of the heap. And the 84 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.279 other one is the air traffic control system that is 85 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.720 antiquated and we know what's happening with that. Okay, Now, 86 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.120 Coca Cola has to diverse fy we're not drinking as 87 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.759 much soda and because we don't drink as much sugar, 88 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.519 although I drink Dita coke, but. 89 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:39.879 Not nearly as much. 90 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.040 So what are they doing well, ditching the carbonation, not 91 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.240 so much ditching it, but paying less attention to the carbonation. 92 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.319 And what do you think they get involved with what beverage? Neil, 93 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.199 would you think that Coca Cola would go to if 94 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.399 you know they have limited obviously a lot of juices 95 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.279 which you're non carbonated. But what direction would you think 96 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.600 Coca Cola would go to? What if you were Coca 97 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.439 Cola coffee, coffee? I think they do have some coffee, 98 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:19.439 but no, no, Amy is not there, coono. If you had, 99 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.879 if you had one share of Coca Cola stock, which 100 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.439 you can't afford, where do you think. 101 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:24.240 Coca Cola would go? 102 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.399 Ses bill slurpees? 103 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.000 Yeah, so you go to a seven to eleven and 104 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.959 you talked to the guy who was there, who's a cardiologist, 105 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.360 and you ask him some questions about heart disease. 106 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.319 Okay, and. 107 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.240 Where do you think Coca Cola the story? Then don't say. 108 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:45.920 I will tell you And this is I know she's 109 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.399 not sorry because she puts these together. I'll tell you 110 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.439 where Coca Cola is going as the new go to 111 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.920 milk milk? 112 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.279 Why? How? Because that's making them money. 113 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.600 There's a company that was launched in twenty twelve called 114 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.319 fair Life and it was a joint venture between Coke 115 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.240 and a wholesale dairy producer and it had minimalist packaging. 116 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.959 It was funny and what it did is started the 117 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:16.879 influx of. 118 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.279 The niche almond milk, protein milk, pistachio milks, which are 119 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.480 very strange. Matter of fact, you go to the milk 120 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.680 aisle at the supermarket. The actual milk part of it 121 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.360 is probably I don't know, twenty percent of all of 122 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:35.759 the other kinds of milk. 123 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.279 You know, almond milk and oat milk, and I don't know, 124 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.560 just it doesn't stop. I mean, how many milks could 125 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:43.959 you think? 126 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:44.120 Of? 127 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.360 All these fruit milks? 128 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.600 And the boy did the Coke Cola score on this one. 129 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.000 They bought out this company for about a billion dollars, 130 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.560 bought it the rest of it, and in twenty twenty 131 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:02.199 two the sales surpassed a billion dollars. They paid one 132 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:10.639 time sales, which is just a miracle. So the acquisition, 133 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.439 by the way, was structured so. 134 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:13.319 It would be an earnout. 135 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.920 The more money that Coca Cola made, the more money 136 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.040 those folks at the other end of the deal. 137 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.199 The fair Lane people would make. 138 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.800 And the total payment of this thing, just to give 139 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.879 you an idea of how big this industry is, how 140 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.120 big part of the beverage industry, this is the total 141 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.279 payment for the acquisition is looking to be about six 142 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.120 point two billion dollars. That's not a bad buck, it 143 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:43.080 really isn't. And that's in addition to the billion dollars 144 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.879 that they paid. So why is this going on, Well, 145 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:52.200 because the North American market has shown we will invest 146 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.879 in health and the producers well for. 147 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.080 Example, vital Farms, free range. 148 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.799 Ais and Lindsay's crazy about these free range eggs. That 149 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.919 drives me completely nuts. You know, chickens running around and 150 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.120 they're playing Monopoly or whatever the hell they do to 151 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.240 make their lives wonderful, and they're not in cages. And 152 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.320 these things cost buckets of money. Although although yesterday I 153 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.440 went to the store and I paid seven ninety nine 154 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.759 at Ralph's for free range eggs, where a regular pack 155 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.039 of eggs, you know, the regular eggs were I think 156 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:34.360 a buck fifty less. Last week it was twelve dollars 157 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:35.240 for the package. 158 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.600 It goes up and down. 159 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.799 So what happens is we have more health conscious consumers 160 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:44.399 in the United States, a bigger focus on protein intake. 161 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:52.639 So you add protein to milk and what do you get? 162 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:59.200 You get milk teen and that is huge growth. Protein 163 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:05.600 shakes are a six billion dollar market. And here is 164 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.039 A factoid that I didn't get until I got into 165 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.679 this story is grocery items in the middle price range 166 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.840 are what we are not buying in the stores. We 167 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.960 are buying the lower price down at the bottom of 168 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.080 the price heap, and then the real expensive stuff the 169 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.799 upper price, which is doing very, very well. You go 170 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.440 to TikTok, for example, you'll see posts where people are 171 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:39.480 drinking Core Power before a workout or making a morning 172 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.399 ice coffee with healthier ingredients. 173 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.200 So I mean, this is great, it really is. Oh yeah. 174 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.320 In addition, in twenty twenty two, fair Life and Coke 175 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.720 agreed to a twenty million dollar twenty one million dollar 176 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:57.039 settlement in a class action lawsuit because of the allegations 177 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:02.799 of inhumane treatment of its cows. When they advertise that 178 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:07.200 we have well treated cows and they're happy cows. 179 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.279 And they're running around the range. 180 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.799 They weren't. They were treated as badly as every other 181 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.679 cow that is on the market.

And 209 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:55.919 look at what's happened medical science, modern run of the 210 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.399 mill medical science is now all fraud. 211 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.960 The what's really. 212 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.679 Medical science is not what we see every day from 213 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.399 people who have mds or PhDs. It's people on the 214 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.000 internet that share with us what's really going on. 215 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:12.320 Oh, I don't know. 216 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:18.559 How about people like Robert Kennedy Junior who says vaccines 217 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:25.799 cause autism, vaccine cause COVID or COVID was developed in 218 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:32.080 a Chinese lab. However, Ashkenazi, Jews and Chinese people are 219 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:36.879 exempted because somehow that was genetically created. By the way, 220 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.360 he is now a Head of Health and Human Services AJHS. 221 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.759 Thank you. 222 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.759 Usually you would have some scientists, a medical practitioner, not 223 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:45.320 a chance. 224 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:46.799 Look who we have. 225 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.519 Modern medical science has disappeared, and the problem is the 226 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.960 administration has jumped into this and says we the government 227 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:05.679 are spending too much money giving well, subsidizing medical research, 228 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:14.519 subsidizing trials, clinical trials. Now, for decades in the US, 229 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.159 scientists and government officials have been sort of working hand 230 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:23.879 in hand, where the government gave money to scientific groups, 231 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.799 to universities and didn't want anything back, just said here's 232 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:31.879 a pile of money. You do the research, and you 233 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:38.399 had technical you had integrity, technical know how. It's complicated stuff. 234 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:42.840 So under that science because the governmental money was used, flourished, 235 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.879 and we had technological innovation and economic growth. Now a 236 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:53.039 bunch of research has been done on this, and I 237 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.840 think the medical acceptance of this concept. Every dollar invested 238 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.960 in research has returned at least five dollar on average 239 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.080 over the long term. 240 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.600 Well we pay you due is basically gone. 241 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:12.919 And now science and government are enemies modern medical science 242 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:17.360 and government are enemies to the point where under this 243 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:23.879 DEI program, anything that has anything to do that you 244 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.240 can point a finger at, Okay, that's DEI is a 245 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:27.960 real problem. 246 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:29.279 We don't want to do it. 247 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:34.639 For example, US eight right giving money to countries around 248 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.840 the world. Well, you know what else they do. They 249 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:43.840 do testing clinical trials, and they use people around the 250 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:45.600 world for clinical trials. 251 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.159 Gone money is gone. 252 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.480 Okay, So I'm going to give you one word about 253 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:57.799 federal spending that would not be spent today because this 254 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.720 is fake science for the most part that we have today, 255 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:06.279 and we have a philosophy of government saying we don't 256 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.679 want to support anything that might possibly be connected with 257 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.919 DEI governmental spending for money, it's our tax dollars at 258 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.200 work helping pharmaceutical companies. 259 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.960 One word, two words, polio. 260 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:25.399 Vaccine funded almost entirely by the US government. 261 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.960 Nineteen fifty five. 262 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.879 How many people, how many kids have been saved with 263 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:36.200 a polio vaccine? Can you imagine the government saying not interested, 264 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:44.720 we don't care AIDS vaccines, even COVID under Donald Trump. 265 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.480 Donald Trump put a couple of billion dollars into COVID research. 266 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.200 He went balls to the wall on this. You got 267 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.679 to give him insane credit for saying this is important 268 00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.759 enough that we're going to spend this is during his 269 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.799 first term. 270 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.200 We're going to spend that money. 271 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:06.920 Of course, after Biden took over and the vaccine started 272 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.160 going throughout the country, then he pulled back and said 273 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.480 the whole thing is a fraud, it's waste, et cetera. 274 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:14.319 But he created it. 275 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:19.200 So last week the NIH National Institute of Health announced 276 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:24.279 it's going to slash its grants. Now that was stopped 277 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:29.039 by a federal judge, But we'll see what happens. Will 278 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.680 the court give the Trump administration the power to do this? 279 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.920 And that becomes a legal question. It doesn't become a 280 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.240 question of health. It becomes does a president have the 281 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:46.039 right to stop money from going into these programs by 282 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:47.119 executive order? 283 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.079 Now, It's happened before. Remember George W. Bush he stopped. 284 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:57.279 Scientific research into stem cell research, and man, that pissed 285 00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:58.559 me off big time. 286 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.160 Even Nancy Reagan. 287 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:06.279 Lambasted George W. For stopping the research, not spending governmental 288 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:06.920 dollars on that. 289 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.720 Was that for moral reasons or something? Yeah? 290 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.279 Yeah, because the abortion issue. 291 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.359 The abortion issue because embryos, and they have to kill 292 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:21.160 embryos effectively, they do research on embryos. Embryos are living, 293 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:25.759 wonderful creatures that talk to you, that ride bicycles, that 294 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:30.079 are real human beings. And if you kill them, you 295 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:35.839 look what you've done morally. Now, I well, I look, 296 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.440 you know how guilty I am about killing pre embryos. 297 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.839 Do you know how many billions and at least hundreds 298 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.519 of millions the potential human beings I have killed, sometimes 299 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.640 three times a day. 300 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.640 Speaking for the rest of humanity, it's probably best that 301 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.599 you don't reproduce anymore. 302 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:59.640 Yeah, just me, my kids, right, even my kids will 303 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:01.519 tell you, you know, we shouldn't be around. 304 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.079 This wasn't such a good idea, all right. 305 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.279 There's a lot of people trying to tell the story 306 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.000 on their life in a bit bumper sticker on their 307 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:16.680 car keep dor City clean pigeon. 308 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.839 That's actually funny.

And right now you'll see my 376 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:28.799 other car is a spirit Halloween m Or there's one 377 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.480 that's out there that says, let me merge, my dad 378 00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:32.000 is dead. 379 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.880 That's not bad. And here's one that sort of came 380 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:40.440 out very early. Keep honking. 381 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.519 I'm sitting in my car crying to the cranberries. 382 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.160 The song linger. I don't understand what that's about. 383 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.319 And what happened is back then we're talking about during 384 00:23:55.359 --> 00:24:00.599 the Eisenhower run. After that, bumper stickers became a popular fixture, 385 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:06.759 and another person who manufactures was interviewed for an article. 386 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:14.000 Manufactures these bumper stickers for the last eighty years. They've 387 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.640 actually been around, and it's a company called Gill would 388 00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:24.799 churn out millions of these politicians, tourist traps, hippies, transmission 389 00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:30.640 of peace, love to a veteran's pride for organization. My 390 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.200 father is a veteran, that sort of thing. 391 00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:36.359 And it's all here. 392 00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:39.720 And you know why they do it here because number one, 393 00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:44.279 we all have cars. Number Two, bumper stickers are cheap. 394 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.559 They're five ten dollars. 395 00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:47.920 And you can make your statement made. 396 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:53.480 Billboards are a little pricier, ads on buses are a 397 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:58.599 little pricey, but bumper stickers are terrific. Now, would I 398 00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.039 ever put a bumper sticker on a car? Not a chance, 399 00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.680 have you ever?
