Speaker 2: so they think I'm there.
Speaker 3: They think i'm their grandparents.
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I get to be accused in public
Speaker 2: of being Lindsay's grandfather, so that works out.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of used to that, all right, what.
Speaker 6: Said? Whoa, it's a little late. I was forty seven
Speaker 6: when Max was born.
Speaker 3: Okay, well there you go. So we're older parents. That's true.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: When I was introduced, Uh, Lindsey's dad is is six
Speaker 2: months older than I am. And when I was first
Speaker 2: introduced to him, you know, Louis Bill Bill, Louis. I said, so, Louie,
Speaker 2: do I call you dad? And he said no, no, no, no,

Speaker 2: I was married to Lindsay, I'd marry both of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm kind of crazy about them. Nice nice people.

Speaker 2: Bill, Hi, you got We have to do something about
Speaker 2: the camera because I'm seeing there.
Speaker 3: You go, little oh, there you go. Okay, I was
Speaker 3: seeing a monitor.
Speaker 2: Usually i'd rather see a monitor than someone's face, but
Speaker 2: not in your case.
Speaker 3: That's the last nice thing I'm going to say.
Speaker 5: In Qua the backhand, there isn't there isn't.
Speaker 3: It was just you know, thank you.
Speaker 2: Well, monitors aren't that expressive, Well except in Kono's case,
Speaker 2: where monitors are more expressive. All right, A couple of
Speaker 2: things going on. First of all, ask handle anything. We
Speaker 2: haven't talked about it this week because we were pushing
Speaker 2: everything else to do we have any calls at all? Neil,
Speaker 2: will we be able to do ask candle anything this week?
Speaker 6: I haven't checked this week.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, ask handle anything if you will today?
Speaker 6: So haven't?
Speaker 3: Yeah, would you please?
Speaker 2: I mean it's Thursday already, so today sort of the
Speaker 2: last day you can do this and ask Candle anything.
Speaker 2: We do it every week now at eight thirty, and
Speaker 2: it's based on the fact that people want to know
Speaker 2: about all of us.
Speaker 3: I want to know about all of us.
Speaker 2: I'm always asking is co Belt really like that? When
Speaker 2: I first started listening, and people ask us Handle really
Speaker 2: like that?
Speaker 3: And or is Neil soap? Or what are they like?
Speaker 3: And so ask Candle anything.
Speaker 2: We do it every week and you get to ask
Speaker 2: me anything, and I'm pretty honest about it, so a
Speaker 2: lot of the humiliating stuff in my life comes out.
Speaker 2: So if you would like to ask Handle anything, you
Speaker 2: go to during the course of the show, the iHeartRadio
Speaker 2: app click onto the Bill Handle show. You'll see a
Speaker 2: microphone with the upper right hand corner.
Speaker 3: Click on that.
Speaker 2: You know about fifteen twenty seconds to ask the question
Speaker 2: and ask whatever the hell you want to ask, and
Speaker 2: we pick the ones that are not completely moronic or
Speaker 2: the ones that are moronic even better, and I respond
Speaker 2: on the air and Neil chooses him and and the
Speaker 2: best ones or the worst ones we deal with.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that's it. I'm done.
Speaker 2: You know, Neil, you want to take this over? Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm tired. I wouldn't mind going back to bed.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you.
Speaker 3: Oh sure, this is the easy part. Hey, where's Will?
Speaker 6: What are we doing?
Speaker 3: What day is it that you know?
Speaker 1: Sir?
Speaker 5: Ay?
Speaker 3: And what are you doing?
Speaker 6: Something rude and appropriate? Cono, You're Mexican, aren't you? Why
Speaker 6: are you here not marching?
Speaker 3: All right? Where am I? That's pretty much show, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think yeah, I think you just described the show,
Speaker 2: led it, neiled it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Did you listen? Did you listen to the promo
Speaker 3: that I'm doing for the I.
Speaker 6: Meant you you know, I texted you last night because
Speaker 6: you and I are going to grab a meal on Monday,
Speaker 6: But I, uh, I meant to tell you that I
Speaker 6: heard that, and I was in the shower and I
Speaker 6: started laughing the kidney one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, a matter of fact, Cono, playet?
Speaker 3: Would you please?
Speaker 2: This is a pro You know, I do promos every
Speaker 2: day for the following day, so this.
Speaker 3: One I just kind of had fun with. Let me see,
Speaker 3: he'll come up. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5: He has to find it, you know, I mean, he's good,
Speaker 5: but he's not that good.
Speaker 3: Oh, actually it sits you're asking to go back some time. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 2: And somewhere in the bowels of the archives, there somewhere.
Speaker 5: All right, why do I bother putting the Handle on
Speaker 5: the news together?
Speaker 2: No, all right, we're gonna get into it. We're gonna
Speaker 2: do it very quickly. Okay, here's the promo on the
Speaker 2: next bill Handle show. Doctors prepared to remove organs from
Speaker 2: the deceased for donation, but then the patients woke up screaming.
Speaker 3: Savedra has my kidney.
Speaker 2: That's coming up after seven am today on the next
Speaker 2: bill Handle show. And by the way, that is not
Speaker 2: far from the true. I'm doing that at seven point fifty.
Speaker 2: Now it's time for Handle on the news with.
Speaker 3: Amy. That's who it is already.
Speaker 2: I know Amy and the kidney list, Neil and me
Speaker 2: lead story, and I'm going to do this at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: And that is you're going to see protests on Saturday
Speaker 2: like crazy. In terms of the parade that's coming up.
Speaker 2: We'll talk a lot more about that, and protests are
Speaker 2: flaring across Los Angeles. This is sort of the heart
Speaker 2: of the protest movement right here in Los Angeles for
Speaker 2: all kinds of reasons, which I'll get into later on Amy.
Speaker 4: Well, things could get dicey, not only here in LA
Speaker 4: but all over the country. There is a no Kings
Speaker 4: Day of Defiance rally day scheduled for Saturday. Organizers say
Speaker 4: it's a reaction to the military parade that's going to
Speaker 4: happen in Washington, d C. In celebration of the two
Speaker 4: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States Army. President Trump,
Speaker 4: who is also celebrating his seventy ninth birthday on Saturday,
Speaker 4: will be speaking at the parade, and organizers say Donald
Speaker 4: Trump wants tanks in the street and it made for
Speaker 4: TV display for dominance for his birthday. No kings, no thrones,
Speaker 4: no crowns.
Speaker 2: Do you think the crowd that's going to be invited there,
Speaker 2: although I don't know how many crowd that big a
Speaker 2: crowd if there is one. I mean there are obviously stands,
Speaker 2: viewing stands and sixty seven hundred soldiers. Will they be
Speaker 2: singing Happy birthday as they march?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: Answer to that, I think they are throwing in a
Speaker 6: free tour of the Capitol. But you don't go, you're
Speaker 6: going through the window.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. Okay.
Speaker 2: It's going to be just absolutely fascinating to see the
Speaker 2: last time there was a major parade was right after
Speaker 2: the Gulf War. So that was what thirty years ago,
Speaker 2: thirty five years ago? All right, moving on, now, this
Speaker 2: is for Ane's sake. We're gonna go through this so
Speaker 2: quickly that the end we're gonna be telling jokes and
Speaker 2: we're gonna zip.
Speaker 3: Through these stories for your listeners, not for me.
Speaker 6: No, I know this for you, Oh burn, sick burning,
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 3: Health Secretary Robert F.
Speaker 6: Kennedy Junior has unveiled eight people he has chosen to
Speaker 6: serve on the Center for Disease Control and Preventions vaccine
Speaker 6: Advisory Panel, just two days after making that unprecedented step
Speaker 6: of removing seventeen sitting members, so he's filled it immediately
Speaker 6: with at least eight. All of these individuals are committed
Speaker 6: to evidence based medicine, gold standard science, and common sense,
Speaker 6: said Kennedy in his foil hat I made that last
Speaker 6: part up. They have each committed to demanding definition, give
Speaker 6: safety and efficacy data before making any new vaccine recommendations.
Speaker 6: So they have varied backgrounds apparently, but many of them
Speaker 6: rose to prominence during the COVID nineteen pandemic, which is.
Speaker 3: In terms of the learning, et cetera.
Speaker 2: An interesting point that Kennedy is making in terms of
Speaker 2: double blind studies and how we have to go back.
Speaker 2: This is where Bill Cassidy, the Senator from Louisiana, the
Speaker 2: doctor got into it with him because Kennedy said, we
Speaker 2: didn't even do blind studies early on, like the polio vaccine.
Speaker 3: We didn't do double blind study.
Speaker 2: And Cassidy just couldn't believe it because it sounded like
Speaker 2: Kennedy was going to go back and do double blind
Speaker 2: studies to see if the polio vaccine actually works, to
Speaker 2: see if it has efficacy, and I mean, just shake
Speaker 2: your head, and he corrected any he goes there were
Speaker 2: double blind studies because Kennedy said that the vaccines out
Speaker 2: there today we're not we're not tested.
Speaker 3: Appropriately, so therefore.
Speaker 2: We should look at them to see if they are safe.
Speaker 2: You know how many millions, tens of millions, hundreds of
Speaker 2: millions of lives were saved because of the polio vaccine.
Speaker 6: For the double blind studies, it's the double deaf, dumb,
Speaker 6: and blind studies. Yeah, I think I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 2: By the way aspirin has not been double blind studied,
Speaker 2: so that should be taken off the market until double
Speaker 2: blind studies have been done. Peer review, double blind studies,
Speaker 2: which is the gold standard for this stuff. All right,
Speaker 2: we're going to take a break.
Speaker 3: Come back and continue on with more handle on the news.
Speaker 2: We continue on with more news, and this one's not
Speaker 2: such good news with Amy and Neil and.
Speaker 4: It's even worse. No survivors are expected from the Air
Speaker 4: India plane crash. Two hundred and forty two people were
Speaker 4: on board the crash or on board the plane. It's
Speaker 4: a Boeing Dreamliner. It was on its way to London
Speaker 4: and crashed about a minute after takeoff in western India
Speaker 4: this morning. There are images of the plane kind of
Speaker 4: sinking over a residential area and then it crashes and
Speaker 4: there's a sound of an explosion and a big ball
Speaker 4: of fire and smoke. And again they're saying that they
Speaker 4: do not believe there are any survivors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how could there be when it crashes and the
Speaker 2: thing explodes into a ball of flame. First time seven
Speaker 2: eighty seven is crashed, because that really it is a
Speaker 2: really good plane, So you can try to figure out
Speaker 2: what it is. The aircraft gave a may day call.
Speaker 2: I guess the pilot was able to just say may
Speaker 2: day or it was as it was going down quickly.
Speaker 2: Maybe there may be a program that sends out the
Speaker 2: May day if at a certain time after takeoff and
Speaker 2: it reaches it drops, don't know.
Speaker 3: At this point, the.
Speaker 4: Plant was only at six hundred and twenty five feet,
Speaker 4: so I mean it had just taken off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, within just what probably half a
Speaker 2: mile quarter of a mile from the airport, because it
Speaker 2: takes off at about I think, what's the speed of
Speaker 2: it taking off one hundred and eighty knots give or take.
Speaker 3: Amy.
Speaker 2: What does that take off speed for? Seven eighty seven
Speaker 2: right when it rotates.
Speaker 4: One hundred and fifty to two one hundred and eighty
Speaker 4: miles per hour, which.
Speaker 3: Is yeah, okay, all right, let's move on.
Speaker 6: US State and Defense departments just yesterday made efforts to
Speaker 6: arrange the departure of non essential personnel from locations around
Speaker 6: the Middle East. It's not really clear what is causing
Speaker 6: this kind of what seems like a knee jerk sudden
Speaker 6: change in posture, but a defense official said US Central
Speaker 6: Command is monitoring what they refer to his developing tension
Speaker 6: in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you cannot do Iraq.
Speaker 2: You can understand because it's Iraq, but Bahrain and Kuwait,
Speaker 2: who are strong allies of the United States.
Speaker 3: That's interesting.
Speaker 4: Trump has lost another round. A federal judge has granted
Speaker 4: Mahmud Khalil's habeas corpus petition and is stopping the Trump
Speaker 4: administration from trying to keep him detained and deport him.
Speaker 4: He's the Columbia University student who has picked up and
Speaker 4: was detained for his pro Palestinian views and participation in protests.
Speaker 4: And that's sort of thing Trump's been working to pull
Speaker 4: his immigration status and get him out of the country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's here legally, and he was actually the laison.
Speaker 2: He was talking between administration and the protesters and picked
Speaker 2: up and was be attained without due process. That's a big,
Speaker 2: big process, a big problem because going in front of
Speaker 2: a court to fight the deportation, which the Trump administration
Speaker 2: is stopping to do that based on national security and somehow,
Speaker 2: you know, as much as I can't stand pro Palestinians
Speaker 2: who are screaming anti Israeli rhetoric, you know they.
Speaker 3: Have a right to do that.
Speaker 2: You know, even say, you know, from the desert to
Speaker 2: the sea, Palestine will be free, and you know, all
Speaker 2: the stuff in America's committing genocide. Israel's committing genocide. You
Speaker 2: know they have a right to do that kind of crap.
Speaker 2: So it's it's not easy. It's not easy to accept
Speaker 2: what's going on. And the only the last bastion are
Speaker 2: the courts. Congress and the Senator are on his side.
Speaker 2: He's got them. You know, he's done.
Speaker 3: You know, we don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2: There's those thing as two legislative bodies or a check
Speaker 2: in balance with legislature and the executive.
Speaker 3: Now it's the executive in the courts. That's it.
Speaker 6: I'm undoubtedly a law and order guy, but sometimes you
Speaker 6: got to applaud some of these people. A thirty five
Speaker 6: year old man who falsely claimed to be a flight
Speaker 6: attendant for six years booked over one hundred and twenty
Speaker 6: free flights, but he was convicted by a federal jury
Speaker 6: this week, according to a press release, So between twenty
Speaker 6: eighteen and twenty twenty four, Tyrone Alexander posed as a
Speaker 6: flight attendant for multiple major US airlines. Apparently he did
Speaker 6: work for an airline in some capacity, but never a
Speaker 6: flight attendant or pilot or anything like that. But he
Speaker 6: knew the system well enough to be able to mess
Speaker 6: with it. So one hundred and twenty free flights.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what six years he did that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you got you kind of have to applaud
Speaker 6: it a little bit.
Speaker 3: Who what was.
Speaker 2: That movie that Leonardo DiCaprio was in with Catch Me
Speaker 2: If you can't?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, who just masqueraded?
Speaker 2: Uh? I guess when you're this good you can pull
Speaker 2: it off. Yeah, you're right, Neil, you got you gotta
Speaker 2: applaud him. Yeah, you know, and uh and he probably
Speaker 2: sat business or first class on top of that.
Speaker 6: You know what, Trump is remaking that movie as catch
Speaker 6: Me Cholla kan chocn is a no.
Speaker 3: I understand. I'm just trying to process. Yeah, got.
Speaker 6: Lace in Mexico.
Speaker 2: Yeah one of the states. Is it a city or province?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: You know what, it's probably a province.
Speaker 2: I think so, I think so. But yeah, so it
Speaker 2: was never mind, No, I I know I understand that,
Speaker 2: I got it.
Speaker 6: Why don't when what's going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why don't we take a break at Armando and
Speaker 3: we'll be back?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: I mean a nice day today, lovely lovely weather.
Speaker 2: All right, Continuing more Handle on the News with Amy,
Speaker 2: Neil and.
Speaker 5: Me Guilty and Not guilty.
Speaker 4: A Manhattan jury has found Harvey Weinstein guilty on a
Speaker 4: sex crimes charge. They also found him not guilty of
Speaker 4: a charge stemming from his alleged assault on Caha Sokala
Speaker 4: in two thousand and two when she was a sixteen
Speaker 4: year old aspiring actress. And then the jury has not
Speaker 4: yet reached a verdict on a third count, which charges
Speaker 4: him with raping actress Jessica Mann in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 5: They will resume deliberations today.
Speaker 2: It almost doesn't matter. I mean, he's going to die
Speaker 2: in prison. I mean, there's no issue about that. And
Speaker 2: I can't imagine he has money anymore. So I would
Speaker 2: like to know is the getting state paid council at
Speaker 2: this point?
Speaker 3: And I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 4: Because even if he had gotten off on these charges,
Speaker 4: which he he's going to serve for at least one
Speaker 4: of them.
Speaker 5: He also was convicted here.
Speaker 2: Here and New York, though his previous conviction was overturned. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I think because they brought in the judge allowed
Speaker 2: too many witnesses prior acts where the allegation of rape,
Speaker 2: even though he wasn't convicted of those, you can only
Speaker 2: bring in or reasonably bring in so many witnesses, and
Speaker 2: it reaches it reaches the point where accusations VI. You
Speaker 2: go one after another, after another after another.
Speaker 3: It's pretty prejudicial. And the point is you.
Speaker 2: Have to the jury has to look at this case
Speaker 2: and that's it. Now prior acts are allowed to be used,
Speaker 2: and so it depends on the number of witnesses you
Speaker 2: bring in. And I think that's what the appeals court said,
Speaker 2: is the judge allowed too many of those.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 6: In the world of food, there's something called the Dirty
Speaker 6: Does In This is a list every single year they
Speaker 6: look at based on pesticides and harmful residues and things
Speaker 6: that are on certain produce and they give you a
Speaker 6: list of the things that you should buy organically. And
Speaker 6: I agree with this list though so more than ninety
Speaker 6: of the ninety percent of these samples of these dozen
Speaker 6: fruits tested positive for these pesticides and the like. So
Speaker 6: you've got things like spinach, which is at the top
Speaker 6: of the list, by the.
Speaker 5: Way, which is supposed to be so good for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is except proof positive that all this
Speaker 2: fresh food is going.
Speaker 3: To kill you.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, you do look at this and you go, okay,
Speaker 6: spinach kale, all right, but spinach is at the top.
Speaker 6: But you do have strawberries right afterwards. And kale along
Speaker 6: with mustard, greens and collars, grapes, peaches, cherries, nectarines, pears, apples, blackberries, blueberries,
Speaker 6: and potatoes. These are the things that you should wash thoroughly,
Speaker 6: so most people just run them under the water, or
Speaker 6: you should buy organic.
Speaker 3: Yeh.
Speaker 2: One of the great mysteries of the world is kale.
Speaker 3: Who the hell eats kale? Its kale is very good
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 6: And if it's made, if it's prepared properly, you can
Speaker 6: massage it strangely enough, and you can ribon it. You
Speaker 6: can cut it in ribbons.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: Stonefire Grill has I think it's called the California salad
Speaker 6: or something. It is one of the best kale salads
Speaker 6: you will ever have.
Speaker 5: I think I've had its. Delicious.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really is. It's one of the best preparations
Speaker 6: of kale you'll ever find.
Speaker 4: But the addendum to that is, when I worked at Wendy's,
Speaker 4: we used to use kale to decorate the salad bar.
Speaker 3: Nobody, Yes, that's right, No one eats.
Speaker 6: A very common by the way.
Speaker 3: Actually, okay, moving.
Speaker 4: On protests in LA are affecting the oughts. So there
Speaker 4: are some venues that are within the curfew zone, which
Speaker 4: is that one square mile area that's closed down at
Speaker 4: night from eight pm to six am in downtown LA.
Speaker 4: And that means that Hamlet at the Mark Tapper Forum
Speaker 4: and the final night of the La Phil's Soul Festival,
Speaker 4: which also happened to be in the La Phil's last
Speaker 4: evening at the Walt Disney Concert Hall this season, that
Speaker 4: had to be canceled. Center Theater Group has been forced
Speaker 4: to cancel director Robert O'Hara's world premiere adaptation of Shakespeare's
Speaker 4: Classics darring Patrick Ball from the hit Max show The
Speaker 4: Pit Oh, which I haven't seen yet, but I heard
Speaker 4: it's really good.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's Mark Taper. Just to correct you,
Speaker 2: Mark Paper. Sorry, it's okay, you're allowed.
Speaker 5: I was thinking of.
Speaker 2: Jake, all right, fair enough, and I'm hoping, and this
Speaker 2: is a great plug for me now at this point,
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that in two weeks the Walt Disney Concert
Speaker 2: Hall will be open because I am am seeing the
Speaker 2: concert extraordinary by the LA Lawyers, Philharmonic and Legal Voices,
Speaker 2: and you see me in a tuxedo, and it is Saturday,
Speaker 2: June twenty eighth at eight o'clock, assuming that the concert
Speaker 2: hall is open at that point and the protests aren't there,
Speaker 2: and it's a lot of fun. Fan of the opera
Speaker 2: instantly selections from Fan of the opera great stuff, So
Speaker 2: go to La Lawyers phil as in Philharmonic La lawyersphil
Speaker 2: dot org.
Speaker 3: A lot of interesting stuff, we dine.
Speaker 2: These are all lawyers and judges, people in the legal
Speaker 2: field that are.
Speaker 3: In the orchestra.
Speaker 2: And part of the event, which they've never done before,
Speaker 2: is we have a few Hispanic judges and lawyers there
Speaker 2: and Ice will be invited.
Speaker 3: To be part of the show.
Speaker 6: Right, nice tie in, Thank you very much. Hey. On
Speaker 6: the note, by the way of the closures or potential
Speaker 6: closures downtown, keep in mind that restaurants are still open
Speaker 6: and they're changing their hours earlier or doing you know,
Speaker 6: happy hour prior to the eight pm or whenever the
Speaker 6: the closures are with the curfew. Check call these restaurants
Speaker 6: Mermaid Downtown. A bunch of other restaurants are struggling right
Speaker 6: now because they usually make their money between those you know,
Speaker 6: six to ten, six to eleven PM hours. And they're
Speaker 6: screwed right now. So another thing to be thinking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bask and Robbins, for example, really featuring their ice scream.
Speaker 6: Oh boy, don't laugh at that, Kno, how does that
Speaker 6: help the show in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 3: He's the only one on the show that laughs.
Speaker 2: By the way, this is why he's still here. His
Speaker 2: job is the only one that is safe. In the morning,
Speaker 2: we're coming back as we finish to handle.
Speaker 3: On the news, Me and Me and Neil Walt.
Speaker 6: Disney Company and Universal Pictures sued a very influential artificial
Speaker 6: intelligence image generator. They're doing this, of course because of
Speaker 6: copyright infringement. This is a massive step forward. You heard
Speaker 6: Amy talking about this earlier. This is a big fight
Speaker 6: between Hollywood and certain uses of generative AI. This is
Speaker 6: particularly dealing with the AI company Mid Journey. It generates
Speaker 6: images that they say blatantly in corporate and copy the
Speaker 6: movie studio's IP. You know, they're famous characters including Star Wars, Marvel,
Speaker 6: Despicable Me, Minions, all these things. And they say that
Speaker 6: it is a quintessential copyright free writer and a bottomless
Speaker 6: pit of plagiarism. I love Mid Journey. It's the one
Speaker 6: of the first image generators that I.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you deal a lot with this, but
Speaker 2: let me ask you. You've seen those images. How close
Speaker 2: are they to the Disney and the Universal character?
Speaker 6: The tech now is insane?
Speaker 3: I mean no, But what I'm saying is, if it's
Speaker 3: that close, what.
Speaker 2: Is uh you know, I don't get how mid Journey
Speaker 2: can get get away with it. They're using the copyrighted
Speaker 2: images that are owned by Disney, I mean Mickey Mouse

Speaker 2: AI figure out. Is it just far enough where the
Speaker 2: line has not been crossed Mickey for example, three years?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know, but I don't know
Speaker 3: how the answer is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how Disney and Universal lose this
Speaker 2: one just because just because it's a I generated does
Speaker 2: not mean that they still don't own the characters.
