WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.120 You're listening to KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.799 Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.480 KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.640 It's the Bill Handles Show. Bill back from his vacation. 5 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:24.519 On Monday, Wayne Resnik here for another hour. Around nine o'clock, 6 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.879 we're expecting a press conference out of New Orleans with 7 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.479 updated information about the incident there where somebody plowed their 8 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.640 car into a group of people in the French Quarter 9 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.920 section who were celebrating New Year's Eve. Ten people killed, 10 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.520 at least thirty injured, and then the guy got out 11 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:50.000 of the car and started shooting. The cops shot at him, 12 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.640 and you ended up with two injured cops and one 13 00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:02.640 dead perpetrator. It was a car with Texas plates. That's 14 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:07.719 about all we know about this person. But maybe whenever 15 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.959 this press conference starts, we'll get some more information. K 16 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.840 IF I will bring it to you as soon as 17 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.000 it starts. We have new laws for twenty twenty five. 18 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.799 It is an annual tradition in talk radio that is 19 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.040 close as close to January one as you can do it. 20 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.200 You talk about some of the new laws, Well, I 21 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:31.120 hit it right on the head January one, let's go 22 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:38.040 minimum wage up fifty cent increase for California's minimum wage workers. 23 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.239 The base pay now sixteen fifty an hour. Why did 24 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.480 you vote for that? No, In fact, you rejected in 25 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.560 the election in November. You rejected a ballot measure that 26 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.159 would have raised the minimum wage immediately to eighteen dollars 27 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.680 an hour. Well, not immediately, eighteen dollars an hour. By 28 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.040 twenty twenty six would have gone up now and would 29 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.000 have gone up again. You said no. But this increase 30 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.439 is due to the previous minimum wage law that is 31 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.280 adjusted for inflation, So it's inflation that is causing this 32 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.639 to happen. Starting in September of this year, colleges and 33 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:29.680 universities are banned from giving preferential treatment to family members 34 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.199 of alumni and donors, the so called legacy admissions. Now 35 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:40.840 they're already banned at the public universities, but starting in September, Stanford, 36 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.240 for example, USC will not be allowed to do it. 37 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.280 Let me tell you something. Those schools are quaked in 38 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:56.599 their boots because if they get caught, here's what's gonna happen. 39 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.719 Some people are gonna say this is too harsh. If 40 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.199 there is an allegation of a preferential admission, the Attorney 41 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:13.599 General will investigate and can request more information from the university. 42 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.080 I'm hyperventilating just thinking if that happened to me, if 43 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.800 somebody asked me for more information. This is my sarcastic 44 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.800 way of saying, there's really no enforcement mechanism. It's just 45 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.400 some kind of a law that they passed to I 46 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:36.639 don't know shame universities who do it, because I guess 47 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.360 it would be public anyway. But there's no way. I 48 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.840 don't know nobody's going to jail. I don't even think 49 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.199 there are any fines. It's just saying you shouldn't do it, 50 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.680 and if you do it, then we're gonna know about it, 51 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.479 and then we're gonna tell everybody that you did it. 52 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:59.520 The protections for child actors that have been in effect 53 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.599 for quite some time in the state of California. It's 54 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.960 called the Cougan Law, and it was passed a long 55 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:14.080 time ago because way back in the day, child actors 56 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.079 were being exploited and the parents were stealing all their money. 57 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.160 And there was this child actor, very popular, Jackie Coogan, 58 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.160 and apparently his parents spent all the money that he made, 59 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.839 and he made several million dollars, and so they passed 60 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.959 this law, the Cougan Law, and it requires parents to 61 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.439 set aside portions of the money for the child. And 62 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.639 you can't spend all the child's money if you've got 63 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.120 a precocious child. Actor Will now AB eighteen eighty comes 64 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.959 along and says, if your child is a vlogger or 65 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:56.600 an influencer, same rules apply. What else, You cannot be 66 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:02.160 required to attend what they call captive meeting or captive 67 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.199 audience meetings. This is where an employer will require you 68 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.360 to come to a meeting, and then the meeting is 69 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.199 not necessarily about anything relevant. It might be a religious 70 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.279 message or a political message, or it might be a 71 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.639 speech about why unions aren't any good and you don't 72 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.920 really want to join a union. Well, now, if you 73 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.000 if you make somebody go to one of these things, 74 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.000 or if you punish them for not going to one 75 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.759 of these things, you could be fined up to five 76 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:41.160 hundred dollars. And there's now a ban on discriminating against 77 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:49.120 people because of their hair. This is designed to address 78 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.480 discrimination generally against people of color who also have hair 79 00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:01.759 that is culturally associated with their race. And what it 80 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:07.160 does is it says race also includes traits that are 81 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:12.360 associated with the race, like hair texture or hair styles. 82 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.560 So there's a little bit of stereotyping necessary in order 83 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:22.040 to protect somebody with natural hair or whatever it is 84 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.720 from being discriminated against for their hair in the workplace. 85 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.319 Because I think what's really going on is the idea 86 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.920 is that probably if you say, oh, we had to 87 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.680 fire you because you had a big halfro that really 88 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.399 you fired the person because they're black. So if you're 89 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.680 using hair as a proxy for firing somebody because of 90 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.240 their race, you won't be able to do it anymore. 91 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.519 Now there's another law. I'm not going to talk about 92 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.759 it now because it makes me so mad. I'm going 93 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.800 to talk about something else to kind of cool down, 94 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.800 and then I'm going to talk about it a little 95 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.199 bit later in the show. Another law about where you 96 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.720 could park your car. That is the proof of an 97 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:04.519 ongoing problem with local governments. But when we come back 98 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.839 from some news from Michael Monks, we are going to 99 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:13.720 talk about robots everywhere, including in the kitchens of restaurants 100 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:18.079 where there's no human being in there. Yes, the robot report. 101 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:22.000 Next on KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the 102 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:26.000 iHeartRadio app. AFI Am six forty Live everywhere on the 103 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:31.759 iHeartRadio app. This is the Bill Handles Show. Welcome Bill 104 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.480 is back from his vacation on Monday. I'm Wayne Resnik. 105 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.399 We're looking for a press conference around nine am our time. 106 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.079 The situation in New Orleans where a guy rammed his 107 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.680 car into a bunch of revelers in the French Quarter 108 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.759 celebrating New Year's Eve and then got out and started shooting. 109 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.680 The police engaged him, gunfire was exchanged. Two of the 110 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.040 cops were injured. The guy's dead, and we hope to 111 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.680 get some more information about what's going on there, whether 112 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:08.079 it's true that they found improvised explosive devices also in 113 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.480 the area, or whether that is just a rumor, and 114 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.959 maybe a little information about why this person might have 115 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.759 done it. We'll bring that to you when it happens. 116 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:22.160 Also closer to home, flu cases are spiking here in 117 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:29.079 southern California. According to the California Department Public Health. Across 118 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.080 the whole state, they describe the flu activity levels as moderate, 119 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:38.960 but Southern California has a disproportionately high number of flu cases. 120 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.360 So do with that information anything that you want, or 121 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:50.600 don't do anything. Sometimes when you go eat at a restaurant, 122 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.039 and this usually is a big deal at a fancy restaurant, 123 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.240 but it doesn't have to be. Sometimes you may be 124 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:02.320 invited back to the kitchen. If you're like a regular customer, 125 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.440 or if it's a particularly expensive meal, you may be 126 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.240 invited back to go to the kitchen and see it 127 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.320 and maybe meet the chef. This is a big deal. 128 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.679 But imagine you are invited to go back to the 129 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:25.399 kitchen and there's nobody in the kitchen, not a human 130 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:30.440 being to be found. Maybe it's the mayor d comes 131 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.559 over and says, oh, would you'd like to see the kitchen. 132 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.519 You're such a good diner, And then there's nobody there. Well, 133 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:42.720 how's the food getting made? The answer is the button kit. 134 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:50.399 Button Kit is a robot chef. Not only can button 135 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:55.440 kit cook the meal, botton kick button Kit. I'm gonna 136 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.720 say it wrong every time. It's kind of a tongue twister, 137 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.879 botton kit. I'm just gonna start saying the robot okay, 138 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:06.320 can we agree? Thank you? The robot can also clean up. 139 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.559 You don't need a chef. You don't need a dishwasher, 140 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:17.480 you just need botton Kit. So you can upload the recipe. 141 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.440 You can even upload the recipe through the cloud remotely, 142 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.240 or it has a touchscreen botton Kit, and you can 143 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.200 touch the thing you want and you can alter it 144 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.759 like you could say, I want the I'm just making 145 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:40.200 up a thing pod Thai noodle medium spicy or something 146 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.960 like that. And it's programmed. It knows all this stuff 147 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.120 and boom, there it goes. It gets out of bowl 148 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.039 and it chops the thing and it dispenses the seasonings, 149 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.080 and the bowl magically becomes the cooking pan and it 150 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.960 cooks the thing up and it does the thing and 151 00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:01.720 it dumps it on the plate. Yeah. Now, this is 152 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.919 part of a bigger trend of robots showing up all 153 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:10.799 over the place. But the company behind button Kit, the 154 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:16.120 chef Robot, which is mostly in Asia right now but 155 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:21.799 has set up business here in the United States. They're 156 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.279 saying the company says, oh no, no, we're not trying 157 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:29.600 to replace human chefs. That's not the point of botton Kit. 158 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.440 There still will be human chefs. No chefs are going 159 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:40.399 to be harmed by the robot chef. The human chefs 160 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:47.799 will still be involved in the recipe creation. I mean, 161 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.759 you still have to have a chef come up with 162 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.320 the recipes that they want to serve at the restaurant. 163 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.240 And also the chef will be able, the human chef 164 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.480 will be able to participate a little bit in the cooking. 165 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.240 They can add their personal touch in the last part 166 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.720 when the robot's done so, if he's made the pod 167 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.840 time medium spicy, and then the chef wants to like 168 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.799 place I don't know, the basil leaf, a decorative basil 169 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.080 leaf on top of it, He'll still be able to 170 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.080 do that, or she'll still be able to do that, 171 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:23.200 or they'll still be able to do that. And in 172 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.559 the meantime, you know, robots, like a robot chef in 173 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.399 a kitchen is not really public facing. But there is 174 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.879 a trend now where robots are entering the public world. 175 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.279 They're not just in the factory or the warehouse or 176 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:42.080 the kitchen. They're in the retail store or the museum. 177 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.120 They're doing stuff right in front of you, and sometimes 178 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:52.759 they're doing stuff with you, like talking to you. This 179 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:55.879 is the new trend, and they say it's because of 180 00:12:55.960 --> 00:13:01.240 AI and specifically the technology that run uns chat GPT 181 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.320 is making this possible to improve the brain power of 182 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.679 these robots. This really sounds like the first act of 183 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.159 a science fiction movie that ends with the robots killing 184 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.919 all the people and living amongst themselves. But we're still 185 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.639 in the first act at this point. I don't know 186 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.080 how much brain power we need a robot to have, 187 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.480 although you know, even an advanced robot is also kind 188 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.279 of a dummy. There's a lot of things that you 189 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.360 can program a robot to do, and they can do 190 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:36.039 it better or faster or more accurately than a human, 191 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.759 or more consistently accurately than a human. There are other 192 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.720 things that are really really hard for robots to do 193 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:50.720 that are dead simple for you, like picking something up 194 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:59.799 and moving it. That's a big deal because you have 195 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:03.080 to use code. Right now, You program code and it 196 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.840 tells the robot how to pick up something and move it, 197 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.000 which means they can only pick up the thing they're 198 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.720 programmed to pick up, and they can only move it 199 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.840 however their program to move it. Whereas I could ask you, 200 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.799 could you please pick up anything in the room, whatever 201 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:21.519 it is, you don't know what I'm gonna ask, and 202 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.240 I can ask you to pick up anything, and I 203 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.440 can ask you to put it anywhere else and you 204 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:30.600 can do it no problem. A C student can do it, 205 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:36.399 no problem. But a smart robot right now can't do it. 206 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:43.519 So there's a long way to go before a robot 207 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.879 is going to be smarter than me, that's for sure. 208 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.519 We'll get some news from Michael Monks and then I 209 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.919 have called an audible. We had something we were gonna do, 210 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:01.320 but I saw one of the new laws in California 211 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:06.840 that took effect, and I'm not it's making me mad 212 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.480 because it's part of a huge problem. If you dare 213 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:16.080 to be a person who drives a car, I'm gonna 214 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.919 tell you what's been going on and why if it 215 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:24.440 feels like your local government is against you, I'm gonna 216 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.440 tell you why it feels that way. Spoiler alert, it's 217 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.919 because they are. It's KFI AM six forty Live everywhere 218 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.440 on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Bill Handle on 219 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.360 demand from KFI AM six forty. KFI AM six forty 220 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.799 Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. It's the Bill 221 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.519 Handle Show. He's back from vacation. On Monday, Wayne resumes 222 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.639 sitting in until nine and one thing I want to 223 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.879 tell you about very quickly, this story that we're looking at. 224 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.000 Federal prosecutors are trying to keep a guy behind bars 225 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.440 and not get out on bail after they made the 226 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.320 largest seizure of homemade explosives in FBI history. This is 227 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:15.519 some guy named Brad Spafford who lives in Isle of 228 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.440 Wight County, Virginia, which I'm assuming is way in the 229 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.720 middle of nothing. It's about one hundred and eighty five 230 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:26.440 miles south of DC. They arrested him for having a 231 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.000 short barreled rifle and then they found over one hundred 232 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.879 and fifty homemade bombs. Then he had some stuff in 233 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:43.720 his freezer that it's called HMTD. It's an explosive and 234 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:50.759 it HMTD is so volatile that it will explode if 235 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:56.120 the temperature changes a few degrees. And he had that. 236 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.679 And here's the reason I'm telling you about this guy, 237 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.159 because it didn't happen here, happened on the other side 238 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:07.559 of the country. But he has how many fingers do 239 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:15.039 you have? Yes, he has two. And this is one 240 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.359 of the big deals that the prosecutors are making in 241 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.480 telling the judge you should never let this guy out 242 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:27.160 on bond. Is even after losing his own fingers, he 243 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:29.920 still had over one hundred and fifty homemade bombs in 244 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.480 this highly volatile explosive at his house in the freezer. 245 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:41.319 Not a special explosive freezer, No, the regular family freezer 246 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.599 where the Swanson frozen dinners are and the Ben and 247 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.680 Jerry's are kept, and then this stuff is in there. 248 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.000 So originally the judge said, well, I'm gonna let him out, 249 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:01.640 and the prosecutor said, we have some more evidence. So 250 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.160 now the judge's looking at that trying to decide what 251 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.880 to do with this guy. Talk about not learning, and 252 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.240 I'll talk about this not learning. There's a new law 253 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.680 that is taken effect that says you cannot park now 254 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.079 within twenty feet of an intersection, even if the curb 255 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.839 is not red. You obviously notice as you drive around 256 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.960 that as you get close to the intersection, then the 257 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.839 curb is red and you know, oh yeah, don't park there. Well, 258 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:35.319 some curbs are not red and you have been allowed 259 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:40.119 to park there. No longer red or not. You can't 260 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.960 park your car within twenty feet of an intersection. Which 261 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.640 in some parts of the country where they also do 262 00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:51.480 have this law, it doesn't necessarily matter because anywhere you 263 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:57.400 go there's plenty of parking, but in southern California, in 264 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.759 parts of LA in particular, they're how much is not 265 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:08.000 So they're definitely taking away parking to protect pedestrians. That's 266 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.279 what the point of this is. If a car is 267 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.519 parked too close to the intersection, I guess the pedestrian 268 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.119 can't see the traffic as well, and instead of just 269 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.279 being really careful and kind of leaning out and taking 270 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:26.000 some responsibility for not getting smashed by a car, they're 271 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.359 just walking out dooty do. And then they go did 272 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.759 and see there was a car perk there. So here's 273 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:35.119 the thing. And I don't have a ton of time, 274 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:36.960 and I don't need a ton of time because I 275 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.119 saw this new law and I said, yep, here we 276 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:44.519 go again. If you feel like there's a bias against 277 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.119 you as a driver, it's because there's a massive bias 278 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.759 against you as a driver. And it wasn't always this way, 279 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.079 you know. When the car first came out, it was 280 00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:01.079 one of the most amazing and important invention of human history. 281 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:06.039 It changed lives, It changed how business is done, It 282 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:11.720 changed how work and home life was balanced. It changed 283 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:16.759 the economy and the FEDS built a lot of freeway 284 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.200 system and a lot of stuff, and states and local 285 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:24.359 governments they were very happy to spend money building roads 286 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:29.519 to accommodate these cars because these cars were amazing and magical. 287 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:39.839 Now cars are evil. So here's the thing. Why does 288 00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:43.119 it feel like there's a bias against us for driving 289 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.440 our cars? Reason one. One thing that's happened to state 290 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.200 and local governments over the decades is they have become 291 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:59.680 more and more financially unstable and leveraged, running deficits, having 292 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:07.559 to get cutting services, unable to simply operate. Roads are 293 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:16.079 very expensive to build, so a road project that would 294 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:22.480 help alleviate car traffic is a very expensive proposition, and 295 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.880 if you're part of a city council or a county 296 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:29.359 commission or a state agency, you don't want to commit 297 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:31.640 to spending that kind of money because you don't have it. 298 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:41.480 You know what's not as expensive bike lane bustling. Taking 299 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.079 a traffic lane and giving it over to the bikes. 300 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:47.559 That doesn't cost very much money at all. Putting up 301 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.920 pylons to separate a bike lane from the rest of 302 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:56.160 the street doesn't cost very much money. So because governments 303 00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:01.839 have become so financially irresponsible. Now they look at road 304 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:06.720 projects to help alleviate your traffic in your car as evil. 305 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.119 And then there's a completely different thing that's happened with 306 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:17.400 state and local governments. They've become more political and activist. 307 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:22.680 Sixty years ago, local governments they really were just like, 308 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.359 all right, we got to have the roads and the 309 00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.440 police and the fire and the water and the thing, 310 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.680 and what's the best way to do it. Then they 311 00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:33.599 started getting involved in causes. They started getting involved in 312 00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.680 trying to operate a city in a way to try 313 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.799 to get people to behave certain ways that they want. 314 00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:49.319 And we all know with global warming and pollution that 315 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.480 one of the things that has been decided is people 316 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:57.119 should be encouraged to give up their car and ride 317 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.240 a bike or take public transportation or if it's close enough, 318 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:04.480 walk over there. So they don't want to spend the 319 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:06.680 money or where they can't, they can't really spend the 320 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.359 money because they're too irresponsible on building out the roads. 321 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:16.559 But they also wouldn't probably if they could, because they 322 00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:24.079 now make decisions to disadvantage drivers and give basically privileges 323 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:31.920 to bikers and pedestrians. And this law is a perfect 324 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:38.279 example of deciding that it's more important to try to 325 00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.799 predect to protect some dumb ass from walking out into 326 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.200 the middle of the street where he can't see the traffic, 327 00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:49.799 then to maybe have enough parking for you when you 328 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:52.720 go to patronize a business or pick up your kid 329 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.839 from a ballet class. They're making their choices, they're showing 330 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:01.240 their preferences. This law is an example of that, and 331 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.599 it's only gonna get worse. There's never getting better. There's 332 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.279 never gonna be a pay some things. There's a pendulum 333 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.839 swing tough on crime. Let's have criminal justice reform. No, 334 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.599 let's get tough on crime again. There will never be 335 00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:21.039 a pendulum swing back to paying for infrastructure for cars. 336 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.119 Let's get some news from Michael Monks, and then we're 337 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:28.319 gonna finish the show. Everybody's talking about should you drink 338 00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:31.279 raw milk? And experts say no, But did you know 339 00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:35.839 there's something else you can drink that's raw that you 340 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:40.799 didn't even know could be raw. I will tell you 341 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.839 what's going on. It's KFI AM six forty live everywhere 342 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:50.000 on the iHeartRadio app, KFI AM sixty live everywhere on 343 00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.319 the iHeartRadio app. This is the bill handles show. Wayne 344 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:58.039 Resnick's sitting in for a few more minutes sometime around nine, 345 00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:02.039 So in the next ten minutes or so, we're expecting 346 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:05.599 a press conference out of New Orleans with updates on 347 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.640 the the I don't even know what to call it. 348 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.799 I know they're calling it a terrorist attack. Somebody plowed 349 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.960 into a group of revelers in the French Quarter with 350 00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:19.319 his car, killed, at least ten injured, at least thirty 351 00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:24.079 others got out, started shooting. Cops shot back. Two of 352 00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:29.880 the cops were injured. The guy is dead, and we'll 353 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.839 bring that press conference to you as soon as it happens. Also, 354 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:39.440 huge blackout hit almost all of Puerto Rico yesterday. There 355 00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:41.759 was an underground power line that one of the most 356 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.480 important power lines in their whole grid, and it failed 357 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:47.880 and they think it could be another two days before 358 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:56.160 everybody is back online. Now, there's been some coverage in 359 00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.839 the news of the controversy about raw milk, and you 360 00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.240 know there's there. I guess there's a growing group of 361 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.720 people who say we want to be allowed to drink 362 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:08.000 raw milk, and the government says, oh no, it's dangerous. 363 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.119 It could have a bunch of crap in it and bacteria, 364 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.319 and it needs to be pasteurized, and that's why we 365 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:19.279 pasteurize it. So here's the thing, because there's always something weirder, 366 00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:22.480 no matter what's in the news, and you go kind 367 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:29.680 it's so weird. There's always something weirder. So if you 368 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:37.960 were to drive up in northern California, in Marin County, 369 00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:44.920 there's there's a pull out there on the road. It's 370 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:47.319 very small if you if you're not looking for it, 371 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:51.519 you probably we might not even notice it, except that 372 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.480 you might see a group of people there and some 373 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:01.839 of them have driven hours, they've said, in traffic to 374 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:10.240 get there. And that's Red Rock Spring for you. See, 375 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.000 the people gathered there have decided they will only drink 376 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:22.960 water that comes from the pipes of Red Rock Spring. 377 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.440 They will not drink tap water, they will not drink 378 00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:35.440 bottled water. They will only drink this water. And they 379 00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:41.440 call it raw water. Now you may call it untreated water, 380 00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:48.240 but they call it raw water. They do not want 381 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:51.160 to drink the water that goes through the government's water 382 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:57.359 treatment systems, even though that's where you get rid of 383 00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:01.279 the bacteria that could kill you or Parrisie or certain 384 00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:05.119 chemical toxins that could, I don't know, make your child 385 00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:10.960 not develop properly in their brain. And this is I'm 386 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:13.759 not saying it's big business, because it really isn't a business. 387 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:19.799 It's a trend. It's a fad maybe. And most of 388 00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.319 these people are part of the health freedom movement. This 389 00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:30.960 is the health freedom movement is we don't like vaccine mandates, 390 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.000 we don't like mask mandates, we don't want fluoride in 391 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.279 our water. We don't want our milk to be pasteurized, 392 00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.119 and we don't want our water being treated. We want 393 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.759 to drink it right out of the spring, naturally. And 394 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.079 they're going to have an ally now in the federal 395 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:53.559 government Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who President elect Trump is 396 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:58.039 picked to lead health in Human Services. He uh, you know, 397 00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:00.359 he's spoken out on a lot of these things. He's 398 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.559 not on the record yet about raw water, so I 399 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:05.920 don't know where he stands on that, but he has 400 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.559 talked about flora. He wants the flooride out of the water. 401 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.599
