So go to the iHeart. 41 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.680 App, KFI page, microphone right hand corner, click ask the question, 42 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.759 and if your call is good enough or stupid enough, 43 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.879 and it gets chosen, we I get to answer your question. 44 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.360 By the way, for everybody who we do ask aloud, 45 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.319 to ask the question, you will win absolutely nothing. There 46 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.000 is no upside other than embarrassing me or asking me 47 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.840 whatever you'd like to know. All right, now, here's the 48 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:45.080 California lawmakers are proposing protecting K twelve K to twelve 49 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.080 students they're families from mass deportation. 50 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:49.759 It's symbolic. 51 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.719 It's just a response to what President upcoming President Trump, 52 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.360 President Electrump has said with the mass deportations, the massy 53 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.960 deportation are not going to happen as we know, I mean, 54 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.360 there'll be more certainly. 55 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:04.879 So you've got AB. 56 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.560 Forty nine at SB forty eight. It's to keep federal 57 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.960 agents from detaining undocumented students or their families on or 58 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.080 near school property without a warrant. Now, when's the last 59 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.919 time a federal agent came onto school property to arrest. 60 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:28.080 Someone a student who is illegal? Come on. 61 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.719 So this is simply a response, and you're going to 62 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.960 see more and more of this. Kevin Johnson, a law 63 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.080 professor at UC Davis, says, in no way can these 64 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.879 bills override federal law. But it's responding to concern in 65 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.319 the community that it's not safe to take your kids 66 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.240 to school. See what ends up happening is you have 67 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:56.639 the undocumented community that frankly runs scared a lot about 68 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.680 being deported. More so it's going to be more so 69 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.680 now that President elect Trump is going to take office. 70 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.080 On January twentieth. 71 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.280 So AB forty nine would require immigration agents to obtain 72 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.919 written permission from the superintendent before coming onto school property, 73 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.600 which they don't anyway, it bars agents from being in 74 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.120 rooms where children are present. When's the last time an 75 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:29.759 agent walked into a schoolroom, a kindergarten class and slammed 76 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.720 handcuffs on a six year old because illegal? By the way, 77 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.199 there's there's no way to know that those kids are illegal. 78 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.240 Supreme Court, and we're going back to I think it 79 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.000 was what nineteen eighty two where the Supreme Court ruled 80 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.199 that public schools have to enroll all students regardless of 81 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.120 immigration status. 82 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.399 And they don't ask even so, what changes? 83 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.160 Well, nothing, really, I'll tell you what the what the 84 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.439 big issue really is, and that is law enforcement and 85 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.199 or particularly prisoners in jails informing ICE that someone is 86 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:10.600 going to be released to is. 87 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.240 Maybe an illegal alien. 88 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.240 And it used to be right at the front door 89 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.079 person was released, Ice was waiting right there pick them 90 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.879 up and set them up for deportation. 91 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.879 Now no cooperation whatsoever. 92 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:32.160 Specifically, the prisons and public institutions do not tell authorities. 93 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.399 Now to be fair, those people are arguing, oh, they 94 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.079 tell authorities, so they can't tell authorities and bad guys 95 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.199 are being released. Serious felons are still being reported, and 96 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.079 ICE does come in for serious felons. But the rest 97 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.680 of it, it's basically a philosophy that we that is, 98 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:57.240 we California do not help federal authorities with deportation or 99 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.319 picking up what is people that are perceiving to be 100 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.560 and may in fact be and are probably illegal aliens. 101 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.040 It is a fight the California has and the reality 102 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.600 is is I believe California, the schools, the legislature absolutely 103 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.160 believe the phrase, the statement there is no such thing 104 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:31.000 as an illegal person. People are not illegal, actually they are, Okay, 105 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.600 just to let you know, there are plenty of people 106 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.160 that are illegal, because look at the definition of. 107 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.480 Illegal being in this country. 108 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.879 Without permission, without the right to be in this country. 109 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.160 That's illegal. 110 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.959 I think they're saying they're illegally here, but a person 111 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.000 to put that on them as being illegal is more 112 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.480 of a pejorative about the individual rut than. 113 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.920 So Therefore, fell in are not felons. They are merely 114 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.920 convicted of a felony. 115 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.600 So you can't call felons felons. I, for example, you 116 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:16.519 and I are not bald. We are simply follicularly challenged. No, 117 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.879 I'm bald, okay, so am I And if I were here, 118 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.720 if I were here illegally, I would be illegal. 119 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.319 But it's not a question of just phraseology. 120 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:31.079 It's beyond that, and it is a question of substance 121 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.160 when it comes to dealing with people and saying that 122 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.959 the status of someone is more important than the law. 123 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:46.639 The law is subservient to someone being here illegally, the 124 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.800 law really doesn't matter. And we have laws now that, 125 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:57.720 for example Los Angeles where the city the school districts 126 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.399 pay for a term and legal help for people who 127 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.439 are for kids who are illegal, or they're have family 128 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.439 members who are illegal and are looking at deportation. 129 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.839 It's just a question of how you view it. 130 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.959 And as usual, the pendulum swings both ways, and you're 131 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.600 going to see the pendulum swinging right back with President 132 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.319 Trump in office. And a lot of it is bluster 133 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.560 from the president because that's simply the way Donald Trump runs. 134 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.240 He believes in bluster, he believes in making statements as 135 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.639 bargaining chips. Nothing is really going to change, but it 136 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.559 is simply a philosophical statement. California says, well, basically, the 137 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.039 bottom line is whatever he says, we're going to go against. 138 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:51.159 And he his statement is whatever they say. 139 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.279 That is California and New York liberal states, I'm going 140 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.840 to go against by definition. 141 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.039 Well aren't they both blustering at that point? Then? 142 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.840 Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, it's a well it's going to be 143 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:04.919 a blustery day. 144 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.679 It's going to be a blustery four years now. I 145 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:11.399 don't know if you're. 146 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.320 Flying, but I don't know if you've noticed, maybe you 147 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:19.440 have noticed that the airlines are going seriously premium, cheap tickets, 148 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:30.279 frontier spirit uh ah, They're all adding premium items, premium services. 149 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.120 And why because we know that the airlines make more money. 150 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.720 Do you remember it used to be that you got 151 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.399 two bags for free across the board. 152 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.600 Huh. 153 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.639 It used to be on Southwest you could sit wherever 154 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.240 you want. It used to be you could sit in 155 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.360 an emergency seed. All you had to do was book. 156 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.919 It didn't cost you any more money. Well, as you know, 157 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.480 those days are gone. Now they charge for everything. At 158 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.600 Southwest is still the only airline that you still get 159 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:00.639 too bad for free. 160 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.039 And I think that's going to end. 161 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.360 It has to end, because every other airline charges for bags. 162 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.120 And when you talk about the super cheap airlines, super 163 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:15.000 bargain airlines, you pay for everything. You even pay for 164 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.120 carry on bags, you pay for where you sit, you 165 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.240 pay for how. 166 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.720 Quickly you board the airplane. You just pay, pay pay 167 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:25.679 junk fees on. 168 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.159 The airlines charge buckets of money on those super cheap flights, 169 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:33.480 and they're not cheap in the end. And guess what, 170 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.840 the airlines aren't making enough money with that crap. 171 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.759 So now it's premium seating. 172 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:44.440 And I mean Jet Blue, which was all one class 173 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.440 is now they have a first class section. 174 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.360 You're gonna see Southwest. 175 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.000 You pay for where you stand in line to board 176 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.679 the airplane. Spirit which was one of the cheaper airlines, 177 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:02.600 file for Chapter eleven in November. American Delta, United the 178 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:07.639 three largest. They're projected to account for ninety seven percent 179 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.279 of the industri's operating profit. Why is that Because American, 180 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.399 Delta and United have premium services, they have first class, 181 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:23.559 they have the premium economy class economy plus. Budget airlines 182 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.879 don't have it, and those budget seats and they're getting 183 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.200 more and more crammed. The airlines aren't making enough money. 184 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:37.600 Matter of fact, they're losing money, Neil, you r mic 185 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:38.039 is not on. 186 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.360 Oh I was doing something, sorry about that. 187 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.399 Oh, so that's because most of the people that ride 188 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.159 Spirit are also filing for Chapter eleven. 189 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.799 That's a good point, the first thing. But the second thing. 190 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.240 I know how they can make tons of money on 191 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:57.639 Spirit charge five hundred dollars a foot any for taking 192 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.840 your shoes off. Oh, very good, And that's a they 193 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.759 will make so much money, you know. 194 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.799 But there's a reason, by the way, for all of this, 195 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.639 and that is, well, there are a couple reasons. First 196 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:13.080 of all, there's too many of these super bargain airlines. 197 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.159 They're competing against each other in a big, big way. 198 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:21.799 The other reason is they pay the same for labor, 199 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:29.799 for fuel, for landing rights. And it doesn't matter if 200 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.279 you have all first class and you go up to 201 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.879 a terminal at lax or all economy where you're crammed 202 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.600 in like sardines. 203 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.080 It's the same cost. 204 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.240 And so the airlines, if you have plenty of premium seating, 205 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.039 if you have plenty of business class, if you have 206 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.440 plenty of economy plus, you're simply going to do better. 207 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:58.279 Where there's an interesting stat here we go, so far 208 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.480 this year, fifty seven percent of Delta's revenue has been 209 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:06.320 generated through sales other than main cabin sales, other than 210 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:12.759 the main seats. Over half is the premium seating. That's 211 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:19.919 where they make all of their money. You go to Delta, 212 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.120 and Delta has eight flights a day LA New York. 213 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:31.279 Two of them have the cheapest seating still available. It's 214 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.600 a tiny little number, and so be prepared to pay 215 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:36.320 a lot more money. 216 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.200 And people are you know, after. 217 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.720 COVID, You know there was this huge rush to spend 218 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.559 money because you were at home. And also it just 219 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:49.279 changed the way we think where experiences are actually more 220 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:54.360 as are more important than buying stuff. That's the way 221 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.399 we think. You know, memories, and it's true, it's true. 222 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:00.720 You know, a lot of my disposable income I spend 223 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.879 on travel memories, most of them bad by the way, 224 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.480 I might add, but it's still memories and experiences, and 225 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.960 I spend money for that, and a lot of people do. 226 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.120 And you want to be comfortable. I mean, most of 227 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:22.759 my flights, most of my stuff is in Europe because 228 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.840 I just happen to love Europe. I got to tell you, 229 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.480 if if I thank God, I run all my businesses 230 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.559 or all my business through my credit card, so I 231 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:38.039 get miles, so I can upgrade very easily. And a 232 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.559 lot of us who are involved in business and do 233 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.440 fly around get miles and upgrade, and some of us 234 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.279 just write the check and buy the ticket. But spending 235 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.360 eleven hours on an airplane ten and a half hours 236 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:55.600 LA to London, LAA, Munich, Amsterdam, you could not pay 237 00:14:55.639 --> 00:15:01.200 me to do that. Literally, it's so uncomfortable, and it's 238 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.799 more and more uncomfortable. And I know I'm telling people 239 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:10.600 who maybe have never been, and it's worth the being uncomfortable, 240 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.840 and I'm going to say, if you've never been, it 241 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:13.600 probably is. 242 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.840 But it's a whole different world, just. 243 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.440 More expensive to fly and you need whatever services, and 244 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.320 it's just the world is changing after pandemic. We don't 245 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:29.799 even know what has happened to us because of the pandemic. 246 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.759 All right, we're done, guys with this on. Hey, it 247 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.480 is time for the last time. Do they have a 248 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:42.039 case with Wayne? And Wayne is retiring from the show, 249 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.799 and Wayne, let's spend a few minutes before we get 250 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.960 into case talking into the case. Do they have a case? 251 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.879 You've been with the show for a very long time. 252 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.720 How long you've been with. 253 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:59.039 Us, well with the station thirty three years on air 254 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:03.000 and capacity thirty and I don't remember. If you can 255 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.639 remember when this happened, either of you, then I can 256 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.519 tell you how long I've had a connection to. 257 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.279 The Bill Handle show. 258 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:18.120 You used to do every year live shows, a live 259 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.720 variety kind of show with songs and comedy and all 260 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.799 this stuff. And one of the earliest ones used to 261 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.080 do them in Vegas, and there was one at the 262 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.600 I'm not as vegacy as you. What's the real one. 263 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.039 I think we did it at the Rio's the other one, 264 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:35.519 first one. 265 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.759 I think he's talking about the Mirage. 266 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:43.879 Wherever it was. Somebody asked me, Hey, do you play keyboards? 267 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.679 I said yeah, and I said, oh, well come to 268 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:52.399 the Handle show in Vegas. And because we want you 269 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:59.360 to Mandala Bay, Mandala Bay. Yes, Bill is correct. Anyway, 270 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.399 I'm like, all right, great And then so anyway, what 271 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.160 ended up happening is you guys made me play and 272 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:12.319 sing this song called Remembering Lacey, which was about Lacy Peterson, 273 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.480 who was murdered for all intention purposes by her husband, 274 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.839 Scott Peterson, although he still denies it that a real 275 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.640 person had written it and performed it. It's terrorist, It's 276 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:24.640 the worst song in the world, and you guys made 277 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.319 me play and sing it, and then some of you 278 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.400 were behind me as a chorus, and that was my 279 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.400 first whenever that was I don't it was kind of 280 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:36.160 the first twenty years ago, maybe at least at least 281 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.880 ten years ago for those people that are recent listeners 282 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.359 to the show. Although we're moving back into some of 283 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.279 the crazy stuff because political correctness is taking not as 284 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.200 an important role in life. This show used to be 285 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:58.559 so offensive, so astoundingly offensive. For example, we used to 286 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.519 do songs, remember the songs, the parody songs we used 287 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.279 to do. One of them I remember was Welfare Queen 288 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.720 and you cannot talk about poor people on welfare. 289 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.079 I mean that is so offensive. 290 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.440 Those were parody songs we used to do. And so 291 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.200 Wayne was part of that group. And we're going to 292 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.480 miss you. So let's do this. We're gonna finish up 293 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.200 the first segment in the moment, and then we're actually 294 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:23.880 gonna do the last. 295 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.119 Do they have a case? So Wayne, what are your plans? 296 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:26.960 What are you gonna do? 297 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.759 I'm not one hundred percent sure yet. You and I 298 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:35.200 spoke off the air. You were very nice to call me, 299 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.400 so you know, you know that I'm looking at some 300 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.599 possibilities kind of going back to doing what I was 301 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.279 doing with the FEDS, but doing it on behalf of 302 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:54.839 defendants private, private, private investigation, analysis, sentencing recommendation function. But 303 00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:01.440 also there's a very small low power FM community all 304 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:05.920 volunteer radio station in Richmond, Virginia, where I will be living, 305 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.799 and I may just help them with the stuff that 306 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:13.440 that kind of a radio station doesn't really want to 307 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.519 deal with, like FCC compliance. 308 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.720 So not on the end, No, No, that's. 309 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.680 One of the It's kind of like a college station. 310 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.000 You know. 311 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.480 There's a guy who for two hours plays world music, 312 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.599 and then there's a guy for two hours who plays 313 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.119 punk rock, and then there's a guy who for two 314 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.599 hours plays electronic jazz, and then there's some show where 315 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.279 two people talk about the mayor or that they don't 316 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.599 like or whatever it is. I'm not interested in any 317 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.240 of that, but to help them behind the scenes with 318 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.759 the FCC stuff, apparently, I'm being told, would be very helpful. 319 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.000 And also honestly, there's a lot of bike trails that 320 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.200 need to be ridden, and there's a lot of live 321 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.039 entertainment to be consumed that you don't when you work 322 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:56.680 at all. 323 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.559 I have made fun of Wayne and his bike riding, 324 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.599 and Wayne is a very serious, serious bike rider, to 325 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.759 the point where in Wayne's case, here are your choices. 326 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.000 Either you buy a new car or you buy one 327 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:17.640 of his bikes. And he's got two of them. I 328 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.240 mean that is someone who is dead serious about riding bikes. 329 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:22.640 First all, I. 330 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:24.559 Didn't know bikes could be I didn't know bikes could 331 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:25.359 be that expensive. 332 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.920 It would be a used car or one of my bikes, 333 00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.279 not a new car. And just I will say this 334 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:34.960 to you, I just got up with great pleasure. I 335 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:39.519 get to say this to you. Now I have three Oh, 336 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.200 but one of them is a gravel bike. The two 337 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.200 are mountain bikes. One is a gravel bike. So it's 338 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:45.799 kind of a different thing, which is a bad wa. 339 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.240 So how about a grass bike or a clay bike. 340 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.359 Don't play on both, court, don't give me ideas. All right, 341 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:55.640 next time I talk to you, I might have six bikes. 342 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.599 So Wayne, let's do our last. Do they have a case? 343 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:00.799 All right? 344 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.640 You will have to decide what happened in an employment 345 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:09.200 dispute between the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America 346 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.440 Knachham Rabinowitz, as well as Dose one through one hundred, 347 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:20.519 the Yakov Markel.

They use it, and his relationship with him 370 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.240 grew sour when he says he was promised by Rabbi 371 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:38.559 Nachmann Rabbi Rabinowitz a promotion and a race which never came. 372 00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.319 So and also that he said he worked some overtime 373 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.400 and they didn't pay him for the overtime, so he quit, 374 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:50.640 and he filed some employment related claims against oh you, 375 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.240 and ou went to court and said you must dismiss 376 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:02.440 these outright because of the ministerial ex The ministerial exception 377 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.480 was found by courts over the years and is now 378 00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:10.440 absolutely enshrined. It's under the First Amendment because it protects 379 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:16.599 the religious organizations from being sued for their decisions regarding 380 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.559 who they employ. But is only if you are a 381 00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:27.279 religious organization and the person is a minister, then they 382 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:31.160 cannot sue you, no matter what minister. Of course, has 383 00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:37.839 been defined quite loosely to include anyone who is vital 384 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:43.640 to the religious mission of the religious organization. So an 385 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:45.759 example I will give you where it has been found 386 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.160 is teachers, the so called religious calling teachers. These are 387 00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:52.920 people who say they were called to teach by their God, 388 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:55.599 and now they teach in religious schools, and there are 389 00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.359 cases where they have been found to be ministers for 390 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.160 this purpose because they're so important to the religious mission 391 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.880 of the school and they can't sue for employment stuff. 392 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.440 So this got Markel says, I'm not a minister. I 393 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.519 look at wine and beef and things, and you know, 394 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.440 make sure that they're prepared properly so they can be certain. 395 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:19.839 I'm not a minister in any way. And the OHU 396 00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:24.160 group is not a religious group because they they make revenue. 397 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.480 It makes money their program of certifying things as kosher, 398 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:34.039 so you I can totally sue them. And the district 399 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.880 judge said, no, they're a religious organization, notwithstanding they generate 400 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.000 revenue because they are a five ZHO one C three 401 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.440
