Speaker 1: You're listenings KFI AM six forty the bill Handles show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iheartradiop and this is KFI bill
Speaker 1: Handle here on a Tuesday morning, July thirtieth, Big Stories Well,
Speaker 1: starting at nine point fifteen and tells me it's the
Speaker 1: women's gymnastics, the all around, and you gotta see Simone Biles,
Speaker 1: who of course is the US's and the world's best
Speaker 1: gymnats will compete in all four events, the vault, the
Speaker 1: uneven bars, the balance beam, the floor exercise, and that starts.
Speaker 1: I guess nine to fifteen our time this morning. Fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes after the show is over. Now, I want to
Speaker 1: spend a minute talking about what's going to happen in
Speaker 1: this election, the presidential coming up in November. If you
Speaker 1: thought the attack on the election itself was big in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, it's not. That didn't even come close to
Speaker 1: what's going on and the attack here, especially if Donald
Speaker 1: Trump wins. Already it's set up to attack every vote
Speaker 1: in the battleground states. California. They're not going to attack
Speaker 1: the vote because doesn't matter, but the battleground states in
Speaker 1: someone I think Georgia Joe Biden won by eleven thousand
Speaker 1: votes and that's it. So the attacks are going to
Speaker 1: come like crazy. In the event of a Trump loss.
Speaker 1: What will the argument be rigged? It's already being said.
Speaker 1: If Trump loses, it's rigged, it's fraud. There is no
Speaker 1: such thing as a fair election if Donald Trump loses
Speaker 1: the election. So let me tell you about one sidebar,
Speaker 1: one spin on this. There is a nonprofit group called
Speaker 1: True Vote, and what it does is allow an app
Speaker 1: called the Ivy three, which allows individuals you me, to
Speaker 1: go through voter roles and question where people live and
Speaker 1: then tell the authorities there are problems with the voter rolls.
Speaker 1: There are irregularities, and you have to straighten those out
Speaker 1: and a lot of money is being spent because you
Speaker 1: can't just ignore that. Authorities can't ignore that, and that
Speaker 1: allows individuals and election officials across the country have been
Speaker 1: inundated with complaints about inaccurate voter roles. By the way, Democrats,
Speaker 1: not a chance. It's all Republicans, it's all Trump supporters.
Speaker 1: That who is doing it, because again, we are not
Speaker 1: going to let Trump lose this selection and we're going
Speaker 1: to use whatever tool we can. And one of them
Speaker 1: is complaining about inaccurate voter roles, and the government has
Speaker 1: to deal with it, use resources, use tax payer money
Speaker 1: reviewing the lists of registered voters, because it has to respond.
Speaker 1: And officials are saying, and I've said this for years already,
Speaker 1: there is so much safety and safeguards in the system
Speaker 1: relative to the way it used to be. Last election
Speaker 1: was the most secure election in the history of the
Speaker 1: United States, even though fraud was alleged over and over
Speaker 1: again with no evidence. I might add, you know, there
Speaker 1: were sixty three cases give or take filed across the
Speaker 1: country alleging fraud. You know how many one zero? You
Speaker 1: know why when asked for evidence, zero was presented. Matter
Speaker 1: of fact, this True of the Vote has one of
Speaker 1: the most interesting ones. So True of the Vote is
Speaker 1: a very conservative, Bassist, Texas based nonprofit and it has
Speaker 1: been peddling debunked voter voter fraud theories. I mean, just
Speaker 1: over and over again fraud. One of them is three
Speaker 1: million votes were illegal, people voted twice, people were voting
Speaker 1: that were illegal aliens. By the way, this was what
Speaker 1: president former President Trump touted. He said that after he
Speaker 1: lost the election, millions of votes were fraudulent. Well, that's
Speaker 1: been completely debunked. It's not true. But this organization using
Speaker 1: this app man that is coming up the works. The founder,
Speaker 1: Katherine Engelbrecht, has called on followers to help clean up
Speaker 1: the voter rolls. That's what they're there for, not because
Speaker 1: of any political view or any political side, even though
Speaker 1: they're all conspiracy theorists. It is all about a fair
Speaker 1: and free election. That's it. That's it. And the question is, then,
Speaker 1: why are you all Trump followers to the very last one.
Speaker 1: That's incidental, that doesn't matter. We are here to maintain
Speaker 1: democracy in this country and we don't want a fraudulent vote.
Speaker 1: What if Trump wins, we will dismiss any request for
Speaker 1: a recount, as happened in the last election. So there
Speaker 1: is this Texas based group called True the Vote and
Speaker 1: its election monitoring organization that has long pedaled voter fraud theories,
Speaker 1: all of them debunked, And what the founder has done
Speaker 1: is called on her followers to help clean voter roles
Speaker 1: which are filthy. I guess and I'll tell you explain
Speaker 1: what's going on in one of the arguments that was
Speaker 1: used in the last election. And there's an app called
Speaker 1: IV three that enables individuals us to research voter data
Speaker 1: and submit voter eligibility challenges which have to be addressed.
Speaker 1: And for example, well, first of all, let me tell
Speaker 1: you seven thousand people have been using the app. Big deal, right,
Speaker 1: only seven thousand people, and they've challenged already more than
Speaker 1: half a million records across battleground states. Forget about him.
Speaker 1: No one's going to No one is going to attack
Speaker 1: California's voter roles. First of all, the Democrats don't do that.
Speaker 1: And second of all, it's a waste of time. It's
Speaker 1: the battleground states where all this fraud is taking place.
Speaker 1: And those seven thousand people have challenged at this point
Speaker 1: more than half a million records, and they're just starting
Speaker 1: because the call is out there, join us and attack
Speaker 1: the fraud that is going on. So, which is one
Speaker 1: of the fraud. Well even former President Trump said this
Speaker 1: during the vote when he argued the vote was rigged.
Speaker 1: There were voters out there that all had the same address.
Speaker 1: That's proof of the fraud. Didn't know which way they voted,
Speaker 1: by the way, because you never know, but just the
Speaker 1: same address that proves fraud already. Well, let me tell
Speaker 1: you the same address fraud These were homeless people that
Speaker 1: had the homeless shelter as their address because they didn't
Speaker 1: have any other address. That's not fraud by the way,
Speaker 1: that's an legitimate address for voter registration. There were mass
Speaker 1: a number of people that voted twice. Where's the proof.
Speaker 1: We don't have it, but we know because there is.
Speaker 1: We have one poll worker who says that he looked
Speaker 1: at the number of votes that came in and in
Speaker 1: one area they were all Joe Biden. So the recount
Speaker 1: had to happen. Oops, wrong, didn't happen. Well, in this case,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen is true the vote, and it's
Speaker 1: going to get enough people it will gum up virtually
Speaker 1: the entire voter registration process and attack every single voter district,
Speaker 1: especially ones that are right on the edge or they
Speaker 1: go democratic. Let's attack and the resources are going to
Speaker 1: have to be used because the authorities have to respond.
Speaker 1: And a lot of the conspiraus conspiracy theory debunked over
Speaker 1: and over again, and the election officials are saying, even
Speaker 1: I mean we even talk about conservative Republican election officials
Speaker 1: are saying, we have the guardrails. We can't just throw
Speaker 1: someone off a voter registration without calling them or trying
Speaker 1: to call them and try to figure out what's going on. Well,
Speaker 1: it's all fraud. It's all fraud. Lawsuits are ready to
Speaker 1: be filed and be prepared for a super contested election
Speaker 1: coming up in the event that Donald Trump loses. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the point where we've reached, and it is so scary.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a free election anymore in
Speaker 1: this country. It doesn't matter what the guardrails are unless
Speaker 1: the Republican wins, then it's a free constitutional election. And
Speaker 1: by the way, that is an argument that is going
Speaker 1: around and it's getting traction and where have we gone to?
Speaker 1: Where have we come? You know, as much as some
Speaker 1: of these I'm not crazy about either one of the candidates,
Speaker 1: you know what. I have enough faith in election officials
Speaker 1: at this point, with the safeguards that have been put
Speaker 1: in the system as a result of lawsuits and true
Speaker 1: the vote. But it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: the Democrats lose. I'm just talking about in any race,
Speaker 1: by the way, any battleground state, if a Democrat loses,
Speaker 1: it is fraud by definition. And how many people going Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely no question about it. And that's not a small
Speaker 1: percentage either, Just one quick one. There are people that
Speaker 1: are not involved in dealing with attacking the voter registration
Speaker 1: who are doing it for political purposes. They actually believe
Speaker 1: in good faith that our system is completely rigged because
Speaker 1: they have bought into the conspiracy theorists. And I know people, people,
Speaker 1: smart people that have absolutely bought into the conspiracies, this
Speaker 1: one being one of them. I mean, we've gone crazy
Speaker 1: talking about going crazy. And by the way, I get
Speaker 1: emails all the time about Bill, I'm a liberal wacko
Speaker 1: And how dare you say the things you do well
Speaker 1: and you're so biased? Yeah, I am biased. I am
Speaker 1: biased against conspiracy theories. I am biased against news that
Speaker 1: has absolutely no basis. In fact, I am biased against QAnon.
Speaker 1: I am biased against those people that say there's a
Speaker 1: pedophile ring under a pizza parlor in Chicago, that Democratic
Speaker 1: congress people are dorking little boys. Yeah, yeah, I'm biased
Speaker 1: against that. And let me tell you where I get
Speaker 1: my news. I get my news from what I consider
Speaker 1: legitimate news outlets. Now, they can be biased. CNN is biased,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make stuff up. New York Times can
Speaker 1: be biased, it doesn't make stuff up. And here is
Speaker 1: the problem. The news organizations that that do not make
Speaker 1: stuff up, that actually attempt to be objective, are falling apart.
Speaker 1: Now I'm a dinosaur. Okay, All billy are so old
Speaker 1: in crotchety you don't understand new technology. Well, here's what
Speaker 1: I like to do on Sunday morning. On Sunday morning,
Speaker 1: I get two newspapers. I get the LA Times and
Speaker 1: the New York Times. Saturday, I get the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1: And you know what I do. I have my cup
Speaker 1: of coffee, I put a bagel in the toaster, and
Speaker 1: now I'm reading the newspaper. I'm reading either the New
Speaker 1: York Times or the LA Times. And to me, and
Speaker 1: I read the newspaper, I like the idea of holding
Speaker 1: a newspaper, folding it and having the crease in the
Speaker 1: wrong place. And to me, Sunday morning, eating a bagel
Speaker 1: without streaks of ink on it is just not the same.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm biased, and I'm seeing what I consider
Speaker 1: legitimate news sources falling apart, literally falling apart, and it
Speaker 1: is horrific. And where is it falling apart? Two? Of course,
Speaker 1: you know where it's falling apart. To it's the Internet.
Speaker 1: It's the Internet. The conspiracy theorists out there. Case in point,
Speaker 1: the election twenty twenty election. You know, that's seventy five
Speaker 1: percent of Republicans believe it was rigged. I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: not crazy conspiracy theorists. I'm talking about across the board. Now,
Speaker 1: Look at the LA Times, look at the New York Times.
Speaker 1: Talk to CNN, now, even talk to Fox because Rupert
Speaker 1: stop that one in its tracks. When Fox was reporting
Speaker 1: Fox News. We're not talking about the talk show hosts
Speaker 1: Laura Ingram and Tucker Carlson and all that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I expect them to say what they expect. I get that.
Speaker 1: But Fox News was reporting that it was rigged, and
Speaker 1: you know, where do you go with that? So you
Speaker 1: have these major news sources are just losing it. Newspapers
Speaker 1: are cutting back their newsrooms. They just can't afford it
Speaker 1: anymore because people are going to their devices. You know,
Speaker 1: most people, young people that I owned with the last
Speaker 1: survey and it was like eighteen to thirty one year
Speaker 1: olds or whatever, over half of them get their news
Speaker 1: from TikTok, YouTube, Facebook's where they get their news. And
Speaker 1: you go, how about the organizations that actually do produce news, nah, nah,
Speaker 1: not interested. And the reason that the newsrooms are falling
Speaker 1: apart is because advertisers are quickly leaving because where is
Speaker 1: the advertise? Where are the advertising dollars? Go? They go
Speaker 1: to the place where more and more people are looking
Speaker 1: at news. And here's my belief. Studies having come out,
Speaker 1: I believe that more and more people who believe the
Speaker 1: stuff that comes out of the internet are more likely
Speaker 1: to buy. They're more likely to buy into this product.
Speaker 1: You'll get longer, you'll get more girth, you'll last longer.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Now I don't know if you buy the
Speaker 1: stuff here. I mean when I hear commercials, not necessarily
Speaker 1: on KFI, when I hear commercials or see commercials or
Speaker 1: see print whatever, making these outrageous claims, which welcome to America.
Speaker 1: We have a First Amendment right to say, outside of
Speaker 1: medical fraud, well, you know, that's just who we are.
Speaker 1: And so one of the reasons newsrooms are doing so
Speaker 1: poorly is because no one is really paying attention to Certainly,
Speaker 1: newspapers are just basically gone. I do it on weekends
Speaker 1: because I enjoy it. But during the week the papers
Speaker 1: are up on the computer screen and I pay attention
Speaker 1: to the La Times New York Times. I said, I
Speaker 1: don't go to the internet. I do not do that,
Speaker 1: and too many people do. So let me talk about
Speaker 1: the financial spin on this, because where do people get
Speaker 1: their news that don't use news outlets like the LA
Speaker 1: Times and New York Times, CNN, the BBC is they
Speaker 1: go to the Internet and start looking at TikTok whatever
Speaker 1: and where who carries it? Right? You've got Google for example,
Speaker 1: that's even Amazon not so much news, but Amazon is
Speaker 1: using data that the news organizations are pitching, are promoting,
Speaker 1: are actually releasing. So there are two bills. Senate Bill
Speaker 1: thirteen twenty seven would charge Amazon, Mada, Google a data
Speaker 1: extraction extraction mitigation fee. Why because they collect data from
Speaker 1: news outlets, and news outlets are not getting any money
Speaker 1: and they're arguing, it's our content. We want to get
Speaker 1: paid for this because if we can get paid for
Speaker 1: at least our content, that helps. A matter of fact,
Speaker 1: the Senate Bill three it's in twenty seven says that
Speaker 1: this data extraction mitigation fee is going to go towards
Speaker 1: supporting local newsrooms. Straight out, We're going to give money
Speaker 1: to local newsrooms and meta Google, Amazon, you're going to
Speaker 1: pay for it because you're using that content. California has
Speaker 1: lost a third of its newspaper since two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: It's really crazy why we're turning to social media for
Speaker 1: news convenient speed. We've gone from twenty seven percent of
Speaker 1: everybody looking at the platforms for news to forty eight
Speaker 1: percent in twenty twenty four. I mean, I can give
Speaker 1: you the stats like crazy, but there is you pay
Speaker 1: for content is what they're asking these major platforms, and
Speaker 1: they want to be paid for the data also, not
Speaker 1: just content, but data that they're getting from It makes
Speaker 1: sense to me, you know, I mean, you got if
Speaker 1: I'm using your product on my platform and I'm making money,
Speaker 1: isn't it fair? I think so. All Right, we are
Speaker 1: finished with the show today. Quick reminder of the podcast
Speaker 1: is dropping today at nine o'clock and today is going
Speaker 1: to be about the crazy ass congress people and senators
Speaker 1: we've had in the US kind of fun Thursday and
Speaker 1: putting something together that I'm recording today, and that's about
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Now, not just the Olympics, because you can
Speaker 1: hear or see anything about the Olympics. This is about
Speaker 1: food at the Olympics. Historically food that the athletes have
Speaker 1: to eat and people that go to the Olympics and
Speaker 1: how they're eating at restaurants. That's a big story. And
Speaker 1: also I'm going to do some of the events. The
Speaker 1: events I mean we're seeing, for example, breakdancing for the
Speaker 1: first time, rock climbing for the first time, and some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that's been going on since the start
Speaker 1: of the ancient Olympics. One of my favorite one was
Speaker 1: mule racing. You get the fastest mule out there. And
Speaker 1: one of the initial events was horse racing, except the
Speaker 1: last part of it the racer had to jump off
Speaker 1: the horse and on foot, race with the horse and
Speaker 1: see who wins. So there's some really interesting events that
Speaker 1: have come and gone. And so that is Thursday at
Speaker 1: nine o'clock. We'll talk about that in the meantime. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: morning we come back start all over again, Amy with
Speaker 1: wake up call at five o'clock and then Neil comes back,
Speaker 1: and so it'll be the two of us and Amy
