WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.120 You're listenings can't fly AM six forty the bill handles 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.960 show on demand on the iHeartRadio. F Oh, I'm gonna 3 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.000 ask Amy's not in her chair. I want to know 4 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.320 how the Dow is doing this morning. I'm looking at CNN. 5 00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:16.120 I think it's up one hundred and twenty two points 6 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.800 something like that. So I'm particularly watching the market these 7 00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:21.800 days as everyone is find out what's going on with 8 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.399 our economy, and the Dow is, you know, symbolic to 9 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.359 some extent of what's happening out there. Now I'm going 10 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.839 to move over to the medical side of news and 11 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.719 what's going on in California. As we all know, our 12 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.880 medical system in this country is broken. No one's arguing 13 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.079 that even those that hate the concept of national health 14 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.280 or socialized medicine or single payer, which is the same thing, 15 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.479 can't argue with the fact we have. 16 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:51.640 A broken system. 17 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.759 And so with that, there are groups of people towns 18 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.759 who are trying to get primary care physicians in their 19 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.760 neighborhoods and cities, especially in rural areas and for example, 20 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.640 the Central Valley up in central California. There are towns 21 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.599 and there are no doctors, and they have to drive 22 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.640 quite a ways away, especially for primary care physicians, or 23 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.959 maybe an er twenty miles away or fifteen miles away, 24 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.239 and that's where they get primary care. 25 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.439 And that is horrible. It's a horrible use of resources. 26 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.319 So these are general practitioners that are desperately needed, and 27 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.319 you know, people are just spinning. There is the town 28 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:41.719 of Salinas, for example, primarily a Latino city in central California, 29 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.799 and Susan Sumanaretti is a primary care physician and she 30 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.959 runs this Acacia Family Medical Group and just tries to 31 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.120 get doctors and can't get them. She can't match the 32 00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:02.359 salaries offered by the larger health system, can't get the 33 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:08.120 environment which doctors want to live. So they're trying everything 34 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:13.840 they can, and one of them is cutting deals with 35 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:19.879 insurance groups, saying we'll pay more salary, will make it 36 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.680 more beneficial for doctors, will have them come over. Anything 37 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.840 we can do, and we want to get paid by 38 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.680 you guys insurance companies, because someone have to pay for them, 39 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.560 and the long run, it makes sense, but you have 40 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.360 to play the long game, and we don't play the 41 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.199 long game in this country. Medical insurance companies do not 42 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:38.960 play the long game. 43 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.879 At all. Case in point bariatric surgery. 44 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.719 It took forever for HMOs to jump on, even knowing 45 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.599 that if someone is one hundred pounds overweight, it is 46 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.960 far easier, cheaper even in the medium term, much less 47 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.400 the long term to perform bariatric surgery because people did 48 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.680 are one hundred pounds overweight have more heart attacks, they 49 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.360 have diabetes, they have strokes, they're not as healthy, they're 50 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.439 in the hospital, they have all kinds of joint injuries, 51 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.800 and it is expensive to deal with all that and 52 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.639 you can't You can at least, if not eliminate, but 53 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.960 certainly curtail those medical issues by taking one hundred pounds 54 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.599 off someone. And what's the easiest way of doing it. 55 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.599 It used to be bariatric surgery. Now you have the 56 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.479 wonder drugs, but they're still not as effective as bariatric surgery. 57 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.879 Bariatric surgery is twenty five thousand dollars. What does a 58 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.520 stroke cost for an insurance company? What does diabetes cost 59 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:36.639 to treat for an insurance company? 60 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:37.719 For an insured. 61 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.840 Fifteen million Californias live in areas without enough primary care providers. 62 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.199 It is it's a shanda. You know, our medical care 63 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:57.000 is it's horrible. I mean wor short of doctors, nurse practitioners, physicians, assistants. 64 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:58.520 And particularly in rural areas. 65 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.280 As I said, some of us face month long waits 66 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.800 for appointments or have to travel long distance or go 67 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.000 to an emergency room. As a matter of fact, there's 68 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.199 a whole new cottage industry where mortuaries are set up 69 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.560 right next to ers in California, so they don't have 70 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.360 to transport the bodies while they're dying in the waiting 71 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.040 room and they can just deal with it. By the way, 72 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.439 that's absolutely not true, but it makes my point. Granted 73 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.079 that's not the greatest analogy, I understand that, but still, 74 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.879 and the problem is why aren't doctors willing to become 75 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.399 primary care physicians? Well a couple of reasons. First of all, 76 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:46.160 because it doesn't make as much money. And primary care 77 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.399 physicians where they used to sit down with a patient 78 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:52.120 and spend twenty minutes, half an hour or whatever talking 79 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.199 to a patient, what's going on, Let's talk about your symptoms, 80 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.319 let's talk about your lifestyle. Now it's five minutes in 81 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.439 and out, as there isn't nearly as much satisfaction. And 82 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.879 of course the paperwork for insurance. 83 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:05.800 Forms that have to be filled out. 84 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.920 It's not fun. So if you're gonna do it, you're 85 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.720 gonna do it for the money. You might as well 86 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.800 be a specialist. And there's a stat here that I 87 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.759 was just reading and this actually makes a lot of sense, 88 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.040 and you go, Okay, if I'm going to be a doctor, 89 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.519 this is the way I'm going to go. 90 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.680 What is the medical a. 91 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.800 Primary care physician makes? Well, actually not bad. One hundred 92 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.680 and fifty to two hundred thousand dollars a year. I 93 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.199 mean that's after of course college, med school residency. So 94 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.120 you're in debt or the doctor is in debt hundreds 95 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.920 of thousands of dollars. But then if you go into 96 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.720 a subspecialty or specialty and maybe a fellowship. Now, if 97 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.279 you're a neurosurgeon, the average in come is eight hundred 98 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.959 thousand dollars a year, and you have a chance to 99 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.959 talk to your patient. Now they're not answering very often 100 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.079 because there they are on the table completely unconscious. Okay, 101 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.519 that one didn't work either, did it? 102 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.519 Bottom line? Thank you? And Amy's looking at me. 103 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.560 This is why I get paid the big bucks, Amy, 104 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:17.360 because I make these connections I'm the one that explains 105 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.399 this to you. But the debt these doctors walk into 106 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.920 are completely crazy. 107 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.240 So it's a broken system. It just doesn't work. 108 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:33.199 Case in point, I was over in Italy, as you know, 109 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.120 I got married over there, and we ended up going 110 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.199 on vacation afterwards to Palermo, the capital of Sicily, and 111 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.199 Lindsay got very sick and we went to the local 112 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.439 emergency room because that was the only pap. 113 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:46.759 You could go. 114 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.199 Doctor Sawer immediately went and saw e and t immediately. 115 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.360 There was zero weight and there was no place to pay. 116 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.199 This is Sicily. 117 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.480 I don't know if you've ever been to Sicily, but 118 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.319 another name for Sicily and Italian is toilet. 119 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.079 It is not a good place to go. 120 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.480 But the medical care, granted, there are more potholes than 121 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.480 I've ever seen in a major town in my life. 122 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:16.879 But at the same time, yeah, I could do story 123 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.439 after story after story on our broken medical care, and 124 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.600 I will, and I will over the course of the 125 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.720 next insert name or insert timeline here. All right, coming 126 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.600 up the Alta Dina, the Eton and the Palisades fire. 127 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.160 We talked about the inequities, how one is being treated 128 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:36.079 better than the. 129 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.759 Other, Okay, I've got a story there too. 130 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.439 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 131 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:44.279 six forty. 132 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.920 The Alta Dina the Eton fire in the Palisades fire, 133 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.920 and there's some differences. Both places were burnt down to 134 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.959 a crisp As you know, We've talked about this just 135 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.439 a whole bunch of times, and there's a lot. 136 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.519 Of disparity between the two. 137 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.000 To one was a very wealthy area, the Pacific Palisades area, 138 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:04.240 multimillion dollar homes. The other one they eat and fire 139 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.279 in Altadena. The neighborhoods were nowhere near. 140 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.959 In the same price range. The homes were much older. 141 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.040 It was a historically black community, so there were a 142 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.120 lot of black residents. And in this day and age, 143 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.480 I mean, how does anybody in a medium or lower 144 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.600 socioeconomic scale buy a home? 145 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:27.839 I mean you can't. 146 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.360 So how did these black families who are in that 147 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.360 lower statistically lower economic level, how do they buy a house? Well, 148 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.480 their parents, their grandparents bought these houses. This neighborhood has 149 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.600 been around for a very long time. It has a 150 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.360 heritage to it, It has a background. There is a 151 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.440 culture that didn't exist, or it didn't exist. The silly 152 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.919 doesn't exist in the Palisades. 153 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.159 So here's what's going on. 154 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.559 You have the fires, they're done, and now we're finding 155 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.559 out that there's a lot of burglary going on, a 156 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.600 lot of looting, if you will, going on where people. 157 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.799 You got these cockroaches, these gangs, these individuals coming in 158 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.360 at night and going through these empty homes, the ones 159 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.919 that were burnt completely, even those are being robbed as 160 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.039 these burglars, these thieves are combing through the debris the 161 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.240 homes that survived. You know, keep in mind, people in 162 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.519 many cases aren't even allowed in. I don't think are 163 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.399 there any neighborhoods where people are still not being allowed in? 164 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.279 And I don't know the answer to that, But up 165 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.039 to this point, there were plenty of burglaries. As a 166 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.919 matter of fact, if we look at this story in 167 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.360 the La Times, burglaries are up four hundred and fifty 168 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:45.320 percent in the Altadena area compared with last year. And 169 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.120 still burglaries away up in Palisades, but not even close. 170 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.159 Homes that survived actually come with a curse now too. 171 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.840 They are prime targets for these opportunistic thieves who prowl 172 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.720 the neighborhood at night, so thieves have. 173 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:02.519 Broken into windows. 174 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.799 These are homes that survived, rated garages, ransacked the home. 175 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.799 I mean just going through with a fine tooth comb 176 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.440 because there's no one there. There are no neighbors to 177 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.960 call the police. The police aren't driving up and down 178 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.480 these empty streets. They have plenty of other places to go. 179 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.240 In Pacific Palisades, year over year, burglary rates are about 180 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.039 the same four hundred and fifty increase in Altadena Palisades 181 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.919 about the same. What's going on? Do we not care 182 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:40.960 about the African American community that lived in Altadena. Well, 183 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.720 it gets a little more complicated than that, because at 184 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.080 first glance, yeah, you're a bunch of racists. But you know, 185 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:49.159 let me give you a practical, just a practical approach 186 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:49.399 to this. 187 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:51.480 How many ways you. 188 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.919 Think you can get into Aldadena? How many streets come 189 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:03.840 into Altadena? How many streets go into Pacific Palisades, One 190 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:08.440 basically Sunset and the rest are these little offshoot streets 191 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.679 that you have to go through the entire neighborhood. It 192 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.960 is damn hard. It is much easier to patrol Pacific Palisades. Also, 193 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.519 there is no more money because there are neighborhoods, you 194 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.519 can afford private guards to drive up and down the streets. 195 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.399 It is easier to protect this wealthy area than it 196 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:28.919 is Altadena. 197 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.320 But still the question remains, what is going on? 198 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.960 Why isn't there much more of an effort, And does 199 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.600 it boil down to people that have more money do 200 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:44.639 a better job of protecting themselves? 201 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.279 Yeah? 202 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.519 Yeah, I mean I live in a gated community, right, 203 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.080 so with now, I used to the Persian Palace live 204 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.960 in a gated community. 205 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.600 We had a guard twenty four to seven. 206 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.679 And if I can remember, there were exactly two times 207 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.559 in the twenty five years that we lived there that 208 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.720 the houses were broken into. Once there was a neighbor 209 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.679 down the street and the other time it was ours. 210 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:21.120 Let me tell you how pleasant that was. But that's 211 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.480 twice in twenty five years. Now, how often can. 212 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:26.399 You say that? 213 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.559 There's only twice in twenty five years in insert neighbor 214 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:34.919 of an entire neighborhood here, Pacific Palace aides has more money, 215 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.919 and it is unfair and we have to look at it. 216 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.159 I mean, is there a reason, I mean, is there 217 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.120 any kind of a racial reason for this? And at 218 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.679 this point of course, you're seeing a lot of investigation, 219 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:54.320 and the accusations are made immediately, and we, I mean, 220 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.519 we tend to do that, don't We accuse people and 221 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:02.360 accuse institutional racism. I don't know if I necessarily buy it. 222 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.240 I don't. 223 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.440 I mean, just on the physical aspect of just there's 224 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.720 a lot. And then you have the issue of if 225 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:14.399 you have a poorer neighborhood, do you have statistically I'm 226 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:18.039 talking now, not in terms of specifics, but do you 227 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.120 have more people in poorer areas who commit more crime 228 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.720 simply because it's a poorer neighborhood as a given you, 229 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.519 notwithstanding any racial makeup, just in general. Yeah, I think 230 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.440 the answer is yes. So you put all of those 231 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.840 factors together, and you've got, as always, poor people getting 232 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:41.639 screwed of the system, as always, poor minority people getting 233 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.720 screwed for whatever reason, and life just isn't fair. On 234 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.200 the other hand, you can move to Yemen, where life 235 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.919 is very fair, where everybody gets killed and everybody eats 236 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:59.480 sand for breakfast. I think we'll stop at that point, Okay, 237 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:05.840 And coming up, Oh, here's one Israel's experimentation with AI. 238 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.879 All right, no surprise, you know, it's a technologically advanced country. 239 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:15.879 But Israel's experimentation in the Gaza war and all kinds. 240 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.519 Of ethical questions are being raised here. 241 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.639 And I'll throw a couple of stats at you and 242 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.360 you go, you know, these people are nuts. 243 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.759 And I'll talk about that coming up. 244 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.240 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I 245 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:29.360 am six forty. 246 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.200 Let's see how a market is doing. I can't see 247 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.399 it's way. Oh, it's up a little bit in amy. 248 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:42.639 Not too bad doing okay, all right, So we'll see 249 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.159 what happens over the next little WHI I'm going to 250 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:48.159 talk a little bit about the what what we're guessing 251 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.720 is going to happen, and what we're looking at the economy. 252 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.559 And I'll be doing that. Matter of fact, I'll do 253 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.559 that at seven fifty. And has to do with the 254 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.039 first one hundred days of the Trump administration. 255 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.000 Uh. Let's move on to AI. AI has all kinds of. 256 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:07.639 Issues involved with it. Of course, its ability to dive 257 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.440 into our lives AI in terms of facial recognition and 258 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.120 privacy issues. There is an issue of AI that we're 259 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.000 not involved with and israel Is, and that's with the 260 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:24.240 Hamas Israeli war. Going back to twenty twenty three. Israel 261 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.320 was trying to assassinate this Ibracam Biati top Hamas. 262 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.679 Commander couldn't find him. He was in the tunnel somewhere. 263 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.840 So what the Israelis did is they turned to a 264 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.279 new military technology that's just infused with AI and it 265 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.200 was developed about a decade earlier but hadn't been used 266 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.720 in battle. And so with this they were listening, found 267 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.159 able to listen to his calls, didn't know where he was, 268 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:53.039 and tested this AI tool. This audio tool gave him 269 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.759 an approximate location where he was making a calls, not 270 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.879 specifically but approximately, but enough to know where he was. 271 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.679 And boom, there came the airstrike and one hundred and 272 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.240 twenty five. 273 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.519 Civilians died in that attack, but so did he, And 274 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.759 then you have the whole ethical issue of the one 275 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.440 hundred and twenty five civilians, how many men, how many 276 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.480 innocent men and women and children were killed, And that 277 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.279 is really at the heart of can we use should 278 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.000 we use AI? 279 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:19.720 Now? 280 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.759 Israel is looking at this war and Hamas is an 281 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:30.679 exit existential threat to its survival. October seventh and the 282 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.759 kibbutz at the border were wiped out twelve hundred and 283 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.240 fifty individuals were killed. Were massacred, men, women and children, 284 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:44.120 I mean innocent people, just massacred, and Hamas figured, okay, 285 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.720 well that's will show you. 286 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:47.240 You know, I didn't. 287 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.240 One of the things I don't understand is the Kamas 288 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.519 leadership and this attack on Israel. What did they think 289 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:58.200 was going to happen. Let's forget about all the ethics. 290 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.720 Involved here for a moment. Let's just talk practically. 291 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.000 You attack Israel like this, what do you think is 292 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:12.559 going to happen? Gaza has disappeared as a nation, as 293 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:16.119 an entity. It is now a mound of rubble from 294 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.759 top to bottom, where ninety percent of the people have 295 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.559 been displaced. All the infrastructure has been wiped out. Boy, 296 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.920 we showed them, didn't we. Here is the issue not 297 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.480 only the Israeli. 298 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.319 Ability to wage war, but. 299 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.839 Its ability to find out where you are and find 300 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.960 out how to wage war. And we're not talking about 301 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.720 military might. We're talking about it's an intelligence ability. How 302 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:46.119 we can go after infrastructure in people that otherwise we couldn't. 303 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.440 And it's using AI more so than any place else 304 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.119 in the world because it's a baptism of fire. I 305 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.759 mean practically speaking, I mean, do you really want to 306 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.720 go after Ai? I mean after Israel, especially if you're 307 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:02.599 an Arabic country out of the Middle East. If you 308 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.240 look at it, that part of the world, out of 309 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.279 the Muslim world, Muslim world entirely. You know, one point 310 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.480 eight billion or two billion people there have been in 311 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.519 that part of the world, Muslim and Israel. Twenty two 312 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:21.039 Nobel prizes over half have been Israel. One one point 313 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:27.039 eight billion Muslims, nine million Jews in Israel over half 314 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:31.440 of the Nobel prizes, all of them in science. Now, 315 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.319 I don't know how many programs you use. 316 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.559 Do you use ways. 317 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:42.039 That's Israeli? Do you use modern technology system? Good chance, 318 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:48.079 that's Israeli. Are they smarter than everybody else? No, it's cultural. 319 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:48.839 People are people. 320 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:50.279 It's not a question of smarts. 321 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.079 I don't think anybody from one part of the world 322 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.640 is smarter than the other part of the world. But 323 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.799 I do believe there is a culture. I do believe 324 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:02.960 there is a cultural difference. Israel has nine million people 325 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.279 in it right now, three hundred and seventy million Arabs 326 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.799 surrounding it. Who is going to go to war with Israel? 327 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.079 Hamas tried it and look what's happening there. Not so 328 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:20.480 good for Hamas. Lebanon was stupid enough to come into 329 00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:25.480 the battle on the side of Hamas solidarity, and that's 330 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:30.519 in quotes. Well, Lebanon was decimated almost immediately, and all 331 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:32.319 of a sudden they pull back and go, you know what, 332 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.039 maybe not, maybe this isn't such a good idea. 333 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.799 And I don't know at what point. 334 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:43.079 The Palestinians are going to figure out, you know what, 335 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:47.839 maybe we shouldn't go to war because there isn't much 336 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:55.799 ethical constraint in Israel with privacy, certainly not using AI 337 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:58.519 to find out where the bad guys are and to 338 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.640 track him down. All of the Kamas leadership, they are 339 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:07.680 living in tunnels. They can't rear their head up above 340 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.160 ground without having a good possibility of then getting those 341 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:11.200 heads blown off. 342 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:16.599 Yeah. Yah, Sinlar, the head. 343 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.440 Of the military arm of Hamas, probably the most wanted 344 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:25.640 man in palis side in Gaza, he was killed. They 345 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.839 tracked him down and they have to be running scared. 346 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.000 And AI is now a big, big part of it. 347 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:33.640 Now. 348 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:35.680 A lot of people dying, yeah, a lot of innocence. 349 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.000 They're dying across the board, and there's some real ethical 350 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.920 concerns there. At what point does Israel mandate of peace. 351 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.680 It's gotten to the point now where Hamas wouldn't talk, 352 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:46.839 and now they've actually in this courting. I think the 353 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:51.319 bbc NC last week Hamas offered a return of all 354 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.799 the hostages for a five year moratorium, a five year truce, 355 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.519 and Israel saying not a chance, and why is that? 356 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:06.200 And what five why five years? Well does that give. 357 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:12.519 Hamas it's ability to reconstruct its military abilities? You think? 358 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:19.279 Keep in mind Gaza in the last ten years spend 359 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.839 all of its money on building those tunnels, and those 360 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.839 tunnels are only about attacking Israel. That's all those are 361 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.880 about is to remain hidden from Israeli forces. And they 362 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.920 just don't do such a good job because Israel is well, 363 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.200 they're just better and smarter at it. Are they smarter 364 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:36.960 than No? 365 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.640 I don't think so. 366 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.680 I don't think Israeli's per chance are smarter than Are 367 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.559 Jews smarter than non Jews? 368 00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:47.039 No? Are they more neurotic than non Jews? Hell? 369 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:54.119 Yes, more guilt absolutely, Mortsuda's. 370 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:01.160 Yes up against the wall. 371 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:04.960 Yeah, it's one of those things where Israel only has 372 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.759 to lose once the Arab countries. 373 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.000 Can lose over and over and over again. 374 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:14.480 Israel has one shot, so the use of AI and 375 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:20.799 somehow the ethical concerns I don't get. All right, so 376 00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:24.519 much for that first one hundred days, we're on top 377 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.440 of it right now. 378 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.640 What's happening. 379 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.880 Well, we start with the approval rating of our president 380 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.759 not so hot right now, and we'll be back and 381 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:35.480 do that, and then oh, we's got. 382 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:37.680 Plenty more to do the entire show, so don't go away. 383 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.759 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 384 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.680 six forty. 385 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:47.480 As we continue on a Monday morning, and usually nothing 386 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:50.799 ever happens on the weekend except boy, those days are gone. 387 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.119 And I've said this many many times before. There used 388 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:57.880 to be something called a news cycle where something would 389 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.559 happen and it would disappear after news cycle, in other words, 390 00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.880 it sort of had legs for a bit, and Saturday 391 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.279 and Sunday it would disappear. And if there was a 392 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.759 major story and you were part of it and didn't 393 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:15.400 want it to go out, you'd release the press conference 394 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.799 or the press release whatever on a Friday night. Because 395 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:20.920 it disappears over the weekend. Those days are gone. It's 396 00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.200 news twenty four to seven, to say the least. Okay, 397 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.839 here's one I want to share with you, and that is, 398 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.200 as you know, polls are constantly being taken, especially in 399 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.039 the well, especially in the world of the world, but 400 00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:35.240 in the rule a world of the president, polls are 401 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:36.279
