1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>You're listenings KFI AM six forty the bill Handles show

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>on demand on the iheartradiop and this is KFI bill

3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Handle here on a Tuesday morning, July thirtieth, Big Stories Well,

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 1>starting at nine point fifteen and tells me it's the

5
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>women's gymnastics, the all around, and you gotta see Simone Biles,

6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>who of course is the US's and the world's best

7
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>gymnats will compete in all four events, the vault, the

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>uneven bars, the balance beam, the floor exercise, and that starts.

9
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>I guess nine to fifteen our time this morning. Fifteen

10
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>minutes after the show is over. Now, I want to

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>spend a minute talking about what's going to happen in

12
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>this election, the presidential coming up in November. If you

13
00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>thought the attack on the election itself was big in

14
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, it's not. That didn't even come close to

15
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>what's going on and the attack here, especially if Donald

16
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Trump wins. Already it's set up to attack every vote

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>in the battleground states. California. They're not going to attack

18
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 1>the vote because doesn't matter, but the battleground states in

19
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 1>someone I think Georgia Joe Biden won by eleven thousand

20
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 1>votes and that's it. So the attacks are going to

21
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>come like crazy. In the event of a Trump loss.

22
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 1>What will the argument be rigged? It's already being said.

23
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>If Trump loses, it's rigged, it's fraud. There is no

24
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>such thing as a fair election if Donald Trump loses

25
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the election. So let me tell you about one sidebar,

26
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>one spin on this. There is a nonprofit group called

27
00:01:55.239 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>True Vote, and what it does is allow an app

28
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>called the Ivy three, which allows individuals you me, to

29
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>go through voter roles and question where people live and

30
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>then tell the authorities there are problems with the voter rolls.

31
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>There are irregularities, and you have to straighten those out

32
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of money is being spent because you

33
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>can't just ignore that. Authorities can't ignore that, and that

34
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 1>allows individuals and election officials across the country have been

35
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 1>inundated with complaints about inaccurate voter roles. By the way, Democrats,

36
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 1>not a chance. It's all Republicans, it's all Trump supporters.

37
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 1>That who is doing it, because again, we are not

38
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>going to let Trump lose this selection and we're going

39
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 1>to use whatever tool we can. And one of them

40
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 1>is complaining about inaccurate voter roles, and the government has

41
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to deal with it, use resources, use tax payer money

42
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>reviewing the lists of registered voters, because it has to respond.

43
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>And officials are saying, and I've said this for years already,

44
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>there is so much safety and safeguards in the system

45
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>relative to the way it used to be. Last election

46
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>was the most secure election in the history of the

47
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>United States, even though fraud was alleged over and over

48
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>again with no evidence. I might add, you know, there

49
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>were sixty three cases give or take filed across the

50
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>country alleging fraud. You know how many one zero? You

51
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>know why when asked for evidence, zero was presented. Matter

52
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 1>of fact, this True of the Vote has one of

53
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the most interesting ones. So True of the Vote is

54
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 1>a very conservative, Bassist, Texas based nonprofit and it has

55
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>been peddling debunked voter voter fraud theories. I mean, just

56
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>over and over again fraud. One of them is three

57
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>million votes were illegal, people voted twice, people were voting

58
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>that were illegal aliens. By the way, this was what

59
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>president former President Trump touted. He said that after he

60
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>lost the election, millions of votes were fraudulent. Well, that's

61
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 1>been completely debunked. It's not true. But this organization using

62
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>this app man that is coming up the works. The founder,

63
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Katherine Engelbrecht, has called on followers to help clean up

64
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>the voter rolls. That's what they're there for, not because

65
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 1>of any political view or any political side, even though

66
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 1>they're all conspiracy theorists. It is all about a fair

67
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and free election. That's it. That's it. And the question is, then,

68
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 1>why are you all Trump followers to the very last one.

69
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>That's incidental, that doesn't matter. We are here to maintain

70
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>democracy in this country and we don't want a fraudulent vote.

71
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 1>What if Trump wins, we will dismiss any request for

72
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 1>a recount, as happened in the last election. So there

73
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>is this Texas based group called True the Vote and

74
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 1>its election monitoring organization that has long pedaled voter fraud theories,

75
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>all of them debunked, And what the founder has done

76
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 1>is called on her followers to help clean voter roles

77
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>which are filthy. I guess and I'll tell you explain

78
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in one of the arguments that was

79
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 1>used in the last election. And there's an app called

80
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>IV three that enables individuals us to research voter data

81
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:22.199
<v Speaker 1>and submit voter eligibility challenges which have to be addressed.

82
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 1>And for example, well, first of all, let me tell

83
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you seven thousand people have been using the app. Big deal, right,

84
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>only seven thousand people, and they've challenged already more than

85
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>half a million records across battleground states. Forget about him.

86
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>No one's going to No one is going to attack

87
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>California's voter roles. First of all, the Democrats don't do that.

88
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>And second of all, it's a waste of time. It's

89
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the battleground states where all this fraud is taking place.

90
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 1>And those seven thousand people have challenged at this point

91
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 1>more than half a million records, and they're just starting

92
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 1>because the call is out there, join us and attack

93
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the fraud that is going on. So, which is one

94
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 1>of the fraud. Well even former President Trump said this

95
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 1>during the vote when he argued the vote was rigged.

96
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 1>There were voters out there that all had the same address.

97
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>That's proof of the fraud. Didn't know which way they voted,

98
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, because you never know, but just the

99
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>same address that proves fraud already. Well, let me tell

100
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 1>you the same address fraud These were homeless people that

101
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 1>had the homeless shelter as their address because they didn't

102
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 1>have any other address. That's not fraud by the way,

103
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that's an legitimate address for voter registration. There were mass

104
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a number of people that voted twice. Where's the proof.

105
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 1>We don't have it, but we know because there is.

106
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 1>We have one poll worker who says that he looked

107
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 1>at the number of votes that came in and in

108
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.279
<v Speaker 1>one area they were all Joe Biden. So the recount

109
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 1>had to happen. Oops, wrong, didn't happen. Well, in this case,

110
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen is true the vote, and it's

111
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>going to get enough people it will gum up virtually

112
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the entire voter registration process and attack every single voter district,

113
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>especially ones that are right on the edge or they

114
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>go democratic. Let's attack and the resources are going to

115
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 1>have to be used because the authorities have to respond.

116
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of the conspiraus conspiracy theory debunked over

117
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 1>and over again, and the election officials are saying, even

118
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean we even talk about conservative Republican election officials

119
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 1>are saying, we have the guardrails. We can't just throw

120
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>someone off a voter registration without calling them or trying

121
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to call them and try to figure out what's going on. Well,

122
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>it's all fraud. It's all fraud. Lawsuits are ready to

123
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>be filed and be prepared for a super contested election

124
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>coming up in the event that Donald Trump loses. I mean,

125
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>that's the point where we've reached, and it is so scary.

126
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>There's no such thing as a free election anymore in

127
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>this country. It doesn't matter what the guardrails are unless

128
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the Republican wins, then it's a free constitutional election. And

129
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>by the way, that is an argument that is going

130
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>around and it's getting traction and where have we gone to?

131
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Where have we come? You know, as much as some

132
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of these I'm not crazy about either one of the candidates,

133
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 1>you know what. I have enough faith in election officials

134
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>at this point, with the safeguards that have been put

135
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>in the system as a result of lawsuits and true

136
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the vote. But it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter if

137
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats lose. I'm just talking about in any race,

138
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, any battleground state, if a Democrat loses,

139
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 1>it is fraud by definition. And how many people going Yeah,

140
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely no question about it. And that's not a small

141
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 1>percentage either, Just one quick one. There are people that

142
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 1>are not involved in dealing with attacking the voter registration

143
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 1>who are doing it for political purposes. They actually believe

144
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>in good faith that our system is completely rigged because

145
00:10:52.080 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 1>they have bought into the conspiracy theorists. And I know people, people,

146
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:06.799
<v Speaker 1>smart people that have absolutely bought into the conspiracies, this

147
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>one being one of them. I mean, we've gone crazy

148
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about going crazy. And by the way, I get

149
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 1>emails all the time about Bill, I'm a liberal wacko

150
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 1>And how dare you say the things you do well

151
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.799
<v Speaker 1>and you're so biased? Yeah, I am biased. I am

152
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>biased against conspiracy theories. I am biased against news that

153
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>has absolutely no basis. In fact, I am biased against QAnon.

154
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I am biased against those people that say there's a

155
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 1>pedophile ring under a pizza parlor in Chicago, that Democratic

156
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>congress people are dorking little boys. Yeah, yeah, I'm biased

157
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 1>against that. And let me tell you where I get

158
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>my news. I get my news from what I consider

159
00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 1>legitimate news outlets. Now, they can be biased. CNN is biased,

160
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't make stuff up. New York Times can

161
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:14.559
<v Speaker 1>be biased, it doesn't make stuff up. And here is

162
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 1>the problem. The news organizations that that do not make

163
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff up, that actually attempt to be objective, are falling apart.

164
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm a dinosaur. Okay, All billy are so old

165
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>in crotchety you don't understand new technology. Well, here's what

166
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I like to do on Sunday morning. On Sunday morning,

167
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I get two newspapers. I get the LA Times and

168
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times. Saturday, I get the Wall Street Journal.

169
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know what I do. I have my cup

170
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 1>of coffee, I put a bagel in the toaster, and

171
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>now I'm reading the newspaper. I'm reading either the New

172
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.919
<v Speaker 1>York Times or the LA Times. And to me, and

173
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 1>I read the newspaper, I like the idea of holding

174
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 1>a newspaper, folding it and having the crease in the

175
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 1>wrong place. And to me, Sunday morning, eating a bagel

176
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>without streaks of ink on it is just not the same.

177
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm biased, and I'm seeing what I consider

178
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>legitimate news sources falling apart, literally falling apart, and it

179
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>is horrific. And where is it falling apart? Two? Of course,

180
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 1>you know where it's falling apart. To it's the Internet.

181
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>It's the Internet. The conspiracy theorists out there. Case in point,

182
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 1>the election twenty twenty election. You know, that's seventy five

183
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>percent of Republicans believe it was rigged. I'm talking about,

184
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>not crazy conspiracy theorists. I'm talking about across the board. Now,

185
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Look at the LA Times, look at the New York Times.

186
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Talk to CNN, now, even talk to Fox because Rupert

187
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.559
<v Speaker 1>stop that one in its tracks. When Fox was reporting

188
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Fox News. We're not talking about the talk show hosts

189
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Laura Ingram and Tucker Carlson and all that. I mean,

190
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I expect them to say what they expect. I get that.

191
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>But Fox News was reporting that it was rigged, and

192
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, where do you go with that? So you

193
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 1>have these major news sources are just losing it. Newspapers

194
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>are cutting back their newsrooms. They just can't afford it

195
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:42.519
<v Speaker 1>anymore because people are going to their devices. You know,

196
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 1>most people, young people that I owned with the last

197
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:50.519
<v Speaker 1>survey and it was like eighteen to thirty one year

198
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>olds or whatever, over half of them get their news

199
00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:01.840
<v Speaker 1>from TikTok, YouTube, Facebook's where they get their news. And

200
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 1>you go, how about the organizations that actually do produce news, nah, nah,

201
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 1>not interested. And the reason that the newsrooms are falling

202
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 1>apart is because advertisers are quickly leaving because where is

203
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the advertise? Where are the advertising dollars? Go? They go

204
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>to the place where more and more people are looking

205
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>at news. And here's my belief. Studies having come out,

206
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe that more and more people who believe the

207
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff that comes out of the internet are more likely

208
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to buy. They're more likely to buy into this product.

209
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 1>You'll get longer, you'll get more girth, you'll last longer.

210
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Now I don't know if you buy the

211
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>stuff here. I mean when I hear commercials, not necessarily

212
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on KFI, when I hear commercials or see commercials or

213
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 1>see print whatever, making these outrageous claims, which welcome to America.

214
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>We have a First Amendment right to say, outside of

215
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>medical fraud, well, you know, that's just who we are.

216
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>And so one of the reasons newsrooms are doing so

217
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Speaker 1>poorly is because no one is really paying attention to Certainly,

218
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.960
<v Speaker 1>newspapers are just basically gone. I do it on weekends

219
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.480
<v Speaker 1>because I enjoy it. But during the week the papers

220
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.120
<v Speaker 1>are up on the computer screen and I pay attention

221
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to the La Times New York Times. I said, I

222
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.799
<v Speaker 1>don't go to the internet. I do not do that,

223
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and too many people do. So let me talk about

224
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the financial spin on this, because where do people get

225
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>their news that don't use news outlets like the LA

226
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 1>Times and New York Times, CNN, the BBC is they

227
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 1>go to the Internet and start looking at TikTok whatever

228
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and where who carries it? Right? You've got Google for example,

229
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that's even Amazon not so much news, but Amazon is

230
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 1>using data that the news organizations are pitching, are promoting,

231
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:25.759
<v Speaker 1>are actually releasing. So there are two bills. Senate Bill

232
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>thirteen twenty seven would charge Amazon, Mada, Google a data

233
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 1>extraction extraction mitigation fee. Why because they collect data from

234
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>news outlets, and news outlets are not getting any money

235
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're arguing, it's our content. We want to get

236
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>paid for this because if we can get paid for

237
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 1>at least our content, that helps. A matter of fact,

238
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the Senate Bill three it's in twenty seven says that

239
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>this data extraction mitigation fee is going to go towards

240
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 1>supporting local newsrooms. Straight out, We're going to give money

241
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to local newsrooms and meta Google, Amazon, you're going to

242
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:19.079
<v Speaker 1>pay for it because you're using that content. California has

243
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>lost a third of its newspaper since two thousand and five.

244
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.839
<v Speaker 1>It's really crazy why we're turning to social media for

245
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 1>news convenient speed. We've gone from twenty seven percent of

246
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:35.079
<v Speaker 1>everybody looking at the platforms for news to forty eight

247
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 1>percent in twenty twenty four. I mean, I can give

248
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:44.200
<v Speaker 1>you the stats like crazy, but there is you pay

249
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 1>for content is what they're asking these major platforms, and

250
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>they want to be paid for the data also, not

251
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.400
<v Speaker 1>just content, but data that they're getting from It makes

252
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>sense to me, you know, I mean, you got if

253
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm using your product on my platform and I'm making money,

254
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't it fair? I think so. All Right, we are

255
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>finished with the show today. Quick reminder of the podcast

256
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 1>is dropping today at nine o'clock and today is going

257
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 1>to be about the crazy ass congress people and senators

258
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.720
<v Speaker 1>we've had in the US kind of fun Thursday and

259
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 1>putting something together that I'm recording today, and that's about

260
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics. Now, not just the Olympics, because you can

261
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.279
<v Speaker 1>hear or see anything about the Olympics. This is about

262
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 1>food at the Olympics. Historically food that the athletes have

263
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to eat and people that go to the Olympics and

264
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.599
<v Speaker 1>how they're eating at restaurants. That's a big story. And

265
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>also I'm going to do some of the events. The

266
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.920
<v Speaker 1>events I mean we're seeing, for example, breakdancing for the

267
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 1>first time, rock climbing for the first time, and some

268
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of the stuff that's been going on since the start

269
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.039
<v Speaker 1>of the ancient Olympics. One of my favorite one was

270
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.960
<v Speaker 1>mule racing. You get the fastest mule out there. And

271
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:20.039
<v Speaker 1>one of the initial events was horse racing, except the

272
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 1>last part of it the racer had to jump off

273
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the horse and on foot, race with the horse and

274
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:29.680
<v Speaker 1>see who wins. So there's some really interesting events that

275
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 1>have come and gone. And so that is Thursday at

276
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 1>nine o'clock. We'll talk about that in the meantime. Tomorrow

277
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.400
<v Speaker 1>morning we come back start all over again, Amy with

278

<v Speaker 1>wake up call at five o'clock and then Neil comes back,

279
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and so it'll be the two of us and Amy
