WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI A

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>six forty. It is a Taco Tuesday, September tenth, we

3
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>continue with the program, and oh.

4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Got so much going on today.

5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>First of all, the fires are still going crazy, and

6
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>it's hot, hot, hot.

7
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it breaks tonight, as.

8
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I said earlier, since I live and I'm in Orange

9
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>County half the time. And then up at the station also,

10
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I was able to see the fire on the ridges

11
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>above me, and the whole ridge was on fire. Boy,

12
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that is a delightful feeling, all right. The other big

13
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>story is the big debate tonight, and it's going to

14
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 1>be I'm assuming astronomical ratings. And this is the first

15
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 1>time that Trump and Harris have looked at each other

16
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>been in the same room. And what are we going

17
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to be looking for? Well, they're both going to be

18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 1>moving towards the middle. I think there are two kinds

19
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>of attacks and I am assuming that. And this is

20
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 1>what the advisors of Trump are just really scared of

21
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 1>that he loses control when he goes into personal diet tribes,

22
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 1>which he has done against Kamala Harris.

23
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 2>And if he does that, it's going to be a

24
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 2>real problem. For him. She is vulnerable on a couple

25
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 2>of areas. She is vulnerable on.

26
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>The economy because the economy did do better under Trump,

27
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't the kind of inflation that was that we

28
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>experienced under the Biden Harris administration. She is vulnerable on

29
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the border. She has on the economy, she's vulnerable on

30
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the border. She's vulnerable. Unlike Biden. Age is not going

31
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to be a factor. Interesting that it's not gone the

32
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>other way because now you have a seventy eight year

33
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>old that's running in we are not hearing an age

34
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>issue because he's one of the youngest, if not the youngest.

35
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Seventy eight year olds I've ever seen. I mean, the

36
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>guy has energy that's unbelievable.

37
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Now here's the problem with Donald Trump is you are

38
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>going to hear this, I guarantee, lie after lie after

39
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 1>lie after.

40
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Lie, and all you're going to hear on the other

41
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 2>side is that's.

42
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Not true, not true, not true, not true. You're going

43
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to hear inflation is out of control, it is not.

44
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You are going to hear the economies in the worst

45
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>shape it's ever been. You are going to hear that

46
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>If Kamala Harris gets elected, the United States will cease

47
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to exist. Seriously, America will stop being America if Kamala

48
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Harris is the president. She is a communist, She is

49
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a fascist.

50
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 2>That's in the same speech.

51
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>And you're going to hear her talk about his personal character.

52
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>You are going to hear her.

53
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Talk about that he is, in fact a threat to

54
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>democracy if he goes into the election was stolen. That

55
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>He does it virtually every speech. I think people are

56
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>just tired of that, that's all. They're just tired of it.

57
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>You can't keep on revisiting and revisiting that issue. So

58
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>at this point, he has not gotten his message. The

59
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>campaign was prepared to be anti Biden. That is what

60
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the Trump campaign was about, and it had to switch

61
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 1>gears very quickly. Has he found his voice? Well, I

62
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>believe the two areas. She's most vulnerable and by the way,

63
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not alone because I'm looking at what the country

64
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>is feeling about it in all the polls, and that

65
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>is the economy in the border. Okay, if he sticks

66
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to those Annie sticks to she's a California Liberal, which

67
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way, she really is in many ways. She's

68
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about crime and that she was a prosecutor.

69
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's going to take a lot of

70
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 1>power away from Trump talking about how liberal she was

71
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>because she nailed people, although there were a couple of

72
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>instances that she didn't.

73
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 2>And so it's going.

74
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>To be fascinating. And the one issue is where's Trump

75
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>going to go on this. That's the part that's the

76
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>most fascinating. Now, Trump won on the debate the fact

77
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that the microphones will be off while the microphone be

78
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>off to the non speaker. In other words, when one

79
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 1>of them is speaking, the other one has a microphone off.

80
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 1>She wanted the microphones to be on because she wanted

81
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>him to go out of control and interrupt. Some good

82
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>news is no studio audience questions, you have follow up.

83
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 1>It's the CNN rules, which I thought were wonderful. Can

84
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you imagine a studio audience screaming one way or the other?

85
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just getting in the way.

86
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 1>It is going to be absolutely just phenomenal of what's

87
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. The other thing is, I think you're

88
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 1>going to see this that Biden really wasn't the president.

89
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 2>It was Harris who was the president.

90
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>She controlled everything that went south during the Biden administration.

91
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Much like during the Pen's administration, Donald Trump really wasn't

92
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the president.

93
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna hear.

94
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Her talk about the wall that he was building and

95
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>that Mexico was going to pay for it. That disappeared instantly.

96
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna hear talk of tariffs. You're gonna hear talk

97
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>where Trump stood.

98
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>Up to China.

99
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>He did, and he gives and he's given a lot

100
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>of credit for that. NATO and how he's run away

101
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 1>from our allies and what he said is you don't

102
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 1>come to the table and pay your share, we're.

103
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Out of there. He's the one that did that. He's

104
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the one that.

105
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Is and should be given credit for that because the

106
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>United States was being taken advantage of by our allies

107
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and we did pay for so much of the NATO forces.

108
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 2>So both sides have an argument.

109
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Both sides are vulnerable, and if they stick to the

110
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 1>policy issues, I think we're going to have a chance

111
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>in November to really figure out where the country is going.

112
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Every single election, you hear, this is the most important

113
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 1>election we've ever had in the history United States. This

114
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 1>is we're at the crossroads. We are going to see

115
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 1>which way the country goes. By the way this time

116
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 1>is true. This is not crying wolf, and they are

117
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 1>in a dead heat at this point. All within the

118
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>margin of air, particularly in the Swing States, were the

119
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 1>only votes that count are in the Swing States. When

120
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>al Gore came out with that film, if you remember about.

121
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 2>CO two, they are that is on fire.

122
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:07.879
<v Speaker 1>He was let's just say he was ridiculed, he was

123
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>made fun of. Well, let me tell you he was

124
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent right. And I will tell you it

125
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>is getting worse. I'll tell you where the scientists were wrong.

126
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>They made fun of all the scientists. Oh my god,

127
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 1>all of.

128
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>This doom is here. Doom, gloom is doom.

129
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 1>And you know the scientists were wrong because it's moving

130
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>at a much faster clip than ever expected. There is

131
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>a report that just came out published in the journal

132
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Earth System Science Data entitled It's not just about Kyle farts,

133
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 1>It's about global methane emissions over the last five years

134
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>have risen faster than ever and at least two thirds

135
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>of those emissions are now coming from human source. By

136
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 1>the way, we joke about Coyle farts, they are in

137
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>fact a reasonably large percentage of the methane that is

138
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>out there. There is I think they're coming out with

139
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>these massive Zelman's minty mouth mints about the size of

140
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>grapefruits for cows, which she seems to help. Okay, there's

141
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a line chart they show in this story. It was

142
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>out of the times. Global methane concentration has been on

143
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 1>the rise since the nineteen eighties, just when those people

144
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that were anti climate change, and there's actually a few

145
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>out there, which is kind of crazy, were saying, oh no, no,

146
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it was going up like crazy, and experts are saying,

147
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>whoa this is concerning?

148
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Why?

149
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Because the planet is on track to go far beyond

150
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 1>the desired limit of two point seven degrees of warming,

151
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's over the pre industrial era. The international benchmark

152
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>is one point five degrees celsius.

153
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>That is where that line is.

154
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at the twenty tens, methade, methane

155
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>contributed to nearly one degree.

156
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Now that is huge. Think of one degree, Come on,

157
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 2>big deal.

158
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>While we're on a trajectory that is about three degrees

159
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 1>celsius right now, way beyond the one point five double

160
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:33.159
<v Speaker 1>What critical mass is? Critical mass means that we've gone

161
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>over the edge. Global warming is here. You cannot stop it.

162
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It's going to get.

163
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Worse and worse.

164
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 1>All you can do is slow it down, and it's

165
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 1>going to have disastrous consequences as if it's not occurring now,

166
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>rapid melting of the ice sheets, prolonged heat waves and droughts.

167
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Really walk outside, would you please, And let's talk about

168
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 1>the temperature that's been there for the last few days, Phoenix,

169
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>over one hundred days of temperatures north of one hundred degrees.

170
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>How about water shortages? You don't think.

171
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Famine around the world, political and social unrest. There're gonna

172
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 1>be two types of wars in the future. We're not

173
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.519
<v Speaker 1>going to have ground wars, well for the most part.

174
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>What you're gonna have is cyber wars. And you're not

175
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna have wars based on politics. You're gonna have wars

176
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>based on water. That's the future. Methane is thirty to

177
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 1>eighty times stronger at warming than CO two ton for ton,

178
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 1>and we're told it's eighty times more dangerous and more

179
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.279
<v Speaker 1>harmful to the environment. Now, there is some decent news

180
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>within all that there is some kind of silver lining

181
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>of clouds that don't exist anymore. Methane lasts about ten

182
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 1>years in the atmosphere, co two lasts hundreds.

183
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Of years in the atmosphere.

184
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.399
<v Speaker 1>And there are two categories of methane sources. One human sources,

185
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>agriculture fossil fuels, agriculture including Kyle farts. I love talking

186
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 1>about that because that actually it's a thing. It's a thing,

187
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, agriculture, fossil fuels. Of course, landfills waste,

188
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 1>and then you have natural sources wetlands, bogs, marshes, and

189
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>they release methane when bacteria breaks down the organic manner.

190
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>The point is the biggest share of methane that's coming

191
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 1>out into our atmosphere is from human sources, and it's

192
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:47.559
<v Speaker 1>not slowing down. We're using more fossil fuels than ever before.

193
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 1>California is doing very well with alternative fuels. I mean

194
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.039
<v Speaker 1>we're about thirty percent thirty five percent, so we're ahead

195
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 1>of the stated policy. The problem is it's California. There

196
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>are places that are just a touch bigger China, India,

197
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>all of Asia, Africa. We're talking entire continents. So California

198
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>is doing great, but how about India where they're building

199
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.519
<v Speaker 1>coal fire plants, China where they're building coal coal fire

200
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>plants like crazy, and ice truck What was the name

201
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 1>of that television show Ice.

202
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Truckers, Ice road truckers or ice road truckers.

203
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they travel travel on these roads of permafrost,

204
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>permafrost being during the summer, you go on roads and

205
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>even when it rains, they're still fine because ten feet

206
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:56.639
<v Speaker 1>under is permafrost and that is land ground that never defrosts.

207
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, you now, how have.

208
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Ice ice road truckers which I forgot the name already.

209
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>They are now creating trucks that are amphibious trucks because

210
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>they are sinking into the ground. And that's just one example.

211
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:19.559
<v Speaker 1>This is happening all over the world, and this is

212
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>one And I've said this before, and this is not

213
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 1>me joking either, This is not shtick. I am glad

214
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that I am not a young person. I do not

215
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 1>envy my children. I do not envy my grandchildren living

216
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in a world where we're looking at this much climate change.

217
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:37.799
<v Speaker 2>It is pretty depressing.

218
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>And this is not me making fun of Death's at

219
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Disneyland or whatever. By the way, that's the podcast that

220
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>drops today, Death in the House of the Mouse, the

221
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Bill Handleshow podcast. I know I'm pitching it, but Neil

222
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>it's in my new podcast, and I want people to

223
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>go to it. And what's the name of this show?

224
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I forgot for a moment. It's what is the name

225
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 1>of our show here?

226
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, Bill Handles show.

227
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.879
<v Speaker 1>That's right, and you're not going to pitch it, so

228
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 1>I am going to.

229
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there's a lot of methane being produced.

230
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh there, believe me, there is. That's why, Thank goodness,

231
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I can turn off the mic.

232
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

233
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I have an on off switch here because you're right,

234
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.279
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of methane being produced. Okay, So those

235
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.279
<v Speaker 1>are the big news stories we're covering. Excuse me, And

236
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 1>now I want to tell you about something called the

237
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 1>thirty by thirty conservation goal and what is that about? Well,

238
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 1>there is, was, and is a plan to conserve thirty

239
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 1>percent of California's land in coastal waters by twenty thirty.

240
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 2>And since the start.

241
00:14:55.639 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Of this thirty by thirty initiative, California has added nearly

242
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>one point five million acres of conserved land. It's about

243
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty five percent of the goal and there's five years

244
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>still left. I mean, this is a real success story

245
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.840
<v Speaker 1>among conservationists. Newsome of course, taking credit In twenty twenty,

246
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I signed an executive order to conserve thirty percent of

247
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>lands thirty percent of coastal waters in California by twenty thirty.

248
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>We're on track to achieve this. And this is beyond

249
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>just conservation. Also plans to restore biodiversity, expand access to nature.

250
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

251
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Help mitigate and build resilience to climate change.

252
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much that's going to do.

253
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Also, returning indigenous land to indigenous peoples.

254
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 2>There's a whole program there where state land, and this is.

255
00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:00.039
<v Speaker 1>Vacant state land is going back to traditional tribes.

256
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 2>That lived on the land.

257
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Now there is a move among the Yana Indian tribes

258
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to have the area known as Beverly Hills return to them,

259
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.639
<v Speaker 1>and that's not going so well. The people that own

260
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.799
<v Speaker 1>the buildings in Beverly Hills are saying, we're not going

261
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 1>to do that. So, as I said, we're talking about

262
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 1>massive acreage in state owned effectively parkland.

263
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.080
<v Speaker 2>There are two national monuments that have been expanded.

264
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.559
<v Speaker 1>The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument had no idea and

265
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 1>even existed. And here's one that is so well known,

266
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 1>the very Sis Snow Mountain National Monument.

267
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.000
<v Speaker 2>You heard of that one.

268
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>No, No, There is also one hundred million dollars for

269
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 1>the return of roughly thirty nine thousand acres to indigenous communities,

270
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the Hoopa Valley tribe, and they're the ones that actually, traditionally.

271
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 2>They invented the Hula Hoopa.

272
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:10.000
<v Speaker 1>That's simply one of the traditional dances that the Indian

273
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>tribes had. The Hoopa Valley Tribe was able to acquire

274
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 1>about ten thousand acres of their lands and the Klamath

275
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:24.440
<v Speaker 1>River Watershed formerly being managed by the Timber Trust, and

276
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Newsom said the grants award were an acknowledgment of past sins,

277
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.319
<v Speaker 1>a promise of accountability and commitment to a better future.

278
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of politics, obviously.

279
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 1>But California is that the forefront forefront of this and

280
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.839
<v Speaker 1>other states are moving in that direction, Nevada, South Carolina, Hawaii, Maine,

281
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>New York, and they're moving towards their own thirty by

282
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty goals. And in twenty twenty one, President Biden unveiled

283
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.559
<v Speaker 1>the national version of the thirty to thirty plan. It

284
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 1>was called America the Beautiful Initiative, and that's seeing.

285
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Forty million acres conserved.

286
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if Kamala Harris is going to mention that tonight.

287
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Probably not.

288
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 1>And the only problem that it has is Newsom is

289
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.319
<v Speaker 1>looking at a forty five billion dollar deficit this year.

290
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 1>So it was the program was cut about three hundred

291
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.319
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. You go, wait a minute, isn't that the

292
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:25.200
<v Speaker 1>whole program? No, because one point three billion dollars that

293
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>was previously allocated has been well at one point six

294
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.480
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars that was previously allocated is now one point

295
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>three billions, So that's three hundred million dollars less. Several

296
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:45.400
<v Speaker 1>plans underway. Proposal to designate Chuckawalla National Monument, no idea.

297
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 1>That's in the eastern Coachella Valley, and that's where Coachella

298
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.319
<v Speaker 1>they have the famous Indian rock and roll bands that

299
00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:03.200
<v Speaker 1>are there every year. Okay, done. The airport fire, that's

300
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 1>one of the big ones. Chris Adler is covering.

301
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:07.279
<v Speaker 2>That for us.

302
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:12.880
<v Speaker 1>We will oh free tatas. I'm telling you, free tatas.

303
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Is it the frittatas or the stuff that you put

304
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 2>on the fort. It's a top of you sauce, that's

305
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.200
<v Speaker 2>what it is. It's the hot sauce. It gets in

306
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:25.799
<v Speaker 2>your throat and you cough a little bit. All right.

307
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:31.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's uh, well, we got fires all over southern California

308
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.319
<v Speaker 1>and one of them is the Airport fire, among others.

309
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 1>And Chris Adler is at the Airport fire, our own

310
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Chris Saddler. Chris, what's going on and what kind of containment?

311
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 2>And this looks pretty depressing all the way around right.

312
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 3>Now, Hey Belle, good morning. Yeah, So this fire has

313
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 3>now burned more than eighty five hundred acres since it

314
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 3>broke out yesterday afternoon. They're calling at the Airport fire

315
00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 3>because it's near the RC flyers Field where people fly

316
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:05.480
<v Speaker 3>remote controlled planes, not an actual airport per se. So now,

317
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.839
<v Speaker 3>like you said, zero percent containment, they have. They have

318
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.240
<v Speaker 3>had more than one thousand firefighters on scene yesterday started

319
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 3>yesterday afternoon from multiple agencies including CalFire, Anaheim Fire, and

320
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.039
<v Speaker 3>even firefighters from out of state. I was speaking with

321
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 3>firefighters from Arizona who had said they hadn't been home

322
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 3>in days. They've been called out to help battle these

323
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 3>fires here in California. We were watching planes drop retardant,

324
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:38.279
<v Speaker 3>we were watching helicopters drop water, and OC Fire Authority

325
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 3>is using their OC fire Hark fire hawk that can

326
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 3>now drop one thousand gallons of water in each drop

327
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 3>bill and they dropped multiple drops. But this fire is

328
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.720
<v Speaker 3>spreading and it's it's right. Yesterday when I was speaking

329
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 3>to firefighters, they had told me were at that time

330
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 3>there was no threat to anybody living in the area,

331
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.359
<v Speaker 3>that it was blowing up and away from homes.

332
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.920
<v Speaker 2>But it is spreading.

333
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.920
<v Speaker 3>So now more than eighty five hundred acres, zero percent containment,

334
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.759
<v Speaker 3>So there are evacuation warnings still in certain areas, evacuation

335
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.039
<v Speaker 3>orders where cal Fire says there's an immediate threat to

336
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.559
<v Speaker 3>life in Robinson Ranch, Tribuco Highlands, and the Tribuco Highland

337
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:24.279
<v Speaker 3>Apartment Complex where those streets have been surrounded. I'm sorry,

338
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:29.960
<v Speaker 3>not surrounded, but blocked off keeping the public out.

339
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:33.799
<v Speaker 1>I am now in Orange County and I'm looking in

340
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>my backyard up on the on the hill and behind

341
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.880
<v Speaker 1>me is Trabuco Canyon, and last night I saw the

342
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 1>entire ridge on fire with the flames, and it must

343
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.559
<v Speaker 1>have been three miles away. And let me tell you

344
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 1>how troubling that is. It's not me talking about it,

345
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 1>it's not you reporting. It's looking at my house. And going, whoa,

346
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.720
<v Speaker 1>that's what's going on. And there was this billowing smoke

347
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that was.

348
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Coming out of it. This morning.

349
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I walk outside and you have this smoke down in

350
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the valley.

351
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>And which way is it moving at this point?

352
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Because I may be throwing it to Amy and Neil

353
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.920
<v Speaker 1>to take over as I get my ass out of town.

354
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:25.920
<v Speaker 3>Right so they're watching it right now there, So it

355
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:31.559
<v Speaker 3>is moving. It's slowly moving. They're trying to surround it

356
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:35.160
<v Speaker 3>from the ground. But some of these areas bill are

357
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.119
<v Speaker 3>some of the areas in the canyon are not accessible

358
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.880
<v Speaker 3>or it's difficult to access for the firefighters, which is

359
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 3>why they're relying so heavily on these airborne attacks and

360
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 3>the retardant. But the retardant once the sun goes down,

361
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:50.240
<v Speaker 3>those planes can't fly in and drop the retardant, so

362
00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:51.839
<v Speaker 3>they have to wait for the sun to come back up.

363
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:54.920
<v Speaker 3>But the helicopters are able to still go in and

364
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.680
<v Speaker 3>drop water because it's so dry, and even though there

365
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 3>was so rain from this last rainy season, it's still

366
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 3>so dry, and the heat that so much brush in

367
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:12.160
<v Speaker 3>the area. It quickly caught fire. It started slow, but

368
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.039
<v Speaker 3>it spread so rapidly because of how dry it was.

369
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 3>And we also learned that there was there were four

370
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.319
<v Speaker 3>people in that area when the fire broke out that

371
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 3>had to be airlifted out, including a three year old child.

372
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.480
<v Speaker 3>They got quickly surrounded by the fire when it broke out.

373
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.000
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know if you heard, but the way

374
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 3>that this fire started was there were public works crews

375
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.240
<v Speaker 3>in the area moving heavy boulders with heavy machinery. They

376
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.119
<v Speaker 3>were actually trying to clear pathways, block pathways so that

377
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 3>people wouldn't hang out in that area so that fires

378
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't get started from people visiting the area. And they

379
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 3>ended up starting a fire themselves.

380
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so, and that's.

381
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.920
<v Speaker 3>How it started. The smoke started. I guess it started

382
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 3>to catch fire, the hot fire.

383
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh sorry, go ahead, Now, how ironic is it? Fire

384
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.720
<v Speaker 1>batement procedures causing a fire.

385
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:05.160
<v Speaker 2>And I know you're gonna be out there. I got

386
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 2>to cut you off because we're out of time.

387
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.519
<v Speaker 1>But as you're out there fitzing in the heat, I

388
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 1>just want you to think of me sitting here in

389
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:14.480
<v Speaker 1>air conditions to.

390
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I will tell them to watch Bill Handle's house.

391
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:17.880
<v Speaker 2>That's all that matters.

392
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you very much. Yeah, all right, Chris you're

393
