00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.839
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:05.759
<v Speaker 1>six forty.

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>KFI Handle here on a home day, Wednesday, February the twelfth.

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, another story, yet another story of La Unified

5
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 2>School District or I went to school, and this story

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 2>is about the school district is being accused of misusing

7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 2>millions meant for arts instruction. Now arts instruction has fallen apart,

8
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>like many other programs in the past several years, in

9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the past many years, simply because the school district has

10
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>no money. I remember, and this goes way back. This

11
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>is me hallucinating and having a flashback. I remember as

12
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a kid when I was in elementary school, Missus Brelli

13
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 2>second grade, Wow, I just remember that, and then fifth

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 2>was it? Sixth grade Missus jamtav four hundred pounds give

15
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>or take, very big woman. In any case, back we

16
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>go off of by Tangent and we were given by

17
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the school little box of crayons, twelve crayons. The rich

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>kids would go out and buy sixty four bucks and

19
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>we all got very upset with a ruler and pencils

20
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>and all kinds of supplies and art classes for every

21
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>class and music class not just banned, but out and

22
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>out music classes, So of course those days are gone,

23
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and so because there's no money. In twenty twenty two,

24
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 2>we voted California with a two thirds majority that requires

25
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>a portion of California's general fund equal to one percent

26
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 2>of the minimum state funding levels for K twelve schools.

27
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>A lawsuit filed by the former superintendent and a bunch

28
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 2>of students said that ain't happening. Either they're not spending

29
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the money at all, or they're spending the money to

30
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 2>pay for existing programs of which there is no more money.

31
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>And the lawsuit says what LA Unified is doing is

32
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 2>in violation of the proposition prop. Twenty eight and therefore

33
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>has defrauded the students, defrauded the school district or the

34
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 2>school district is defrauded students because they're not spending the money.

35
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>And the school district says, we're not getting the money,

36
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>but these students lawsuits says, you are getting the money

37
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>and you're diverting the money. And so just an allegation

38
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>of the misuse in this case, the allegation of fraud.

39
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Now it also used to be as part of the

40
00:02:54.039 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 2>arts program that we used to go on these trips.

41
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we pile into buses and go to the zoo.

42
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>We would go to, for example, the Shrine Auditorium, which

43
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>was around then it maybe still be, and we'd see musicals.

44
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I remember as a kid seeing which one did I see?

45
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw an opera that they had. Now, when's the

46
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>last time you heard of an entire school district, or

47
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>an entire fifth grade piling onto buses, those big yellow

48
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>buses and going to see an opera that was written

49
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>for or at least modified for students. It doesn't happen.

50
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Matter of fact. The only thing that and I went

51
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>was it a couple of years ago where they did

52
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>exactly that. This was after Lynn Miranda Manuel, who's the

53
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>guy I always get his name confused who wrote Hamilton,

54
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 2>and everybody was entranced with him, and they put together

55
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>a field trip from schools all over the place, and

56
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I went one of the few people that were invited

57
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>for whatever reason, and I went to see it. And

58
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>heeded well, not to see Hamilton, but to see him

59
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>and do a question and answer. That is the only

60
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>outing that I've ever seen the school do, the school

61
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>district do. After I left the school in after sixth

62
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>grade of elementary school. Hey, I don't know the answer,

63
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 2>but does if someone takes music class today, does a

64
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 2>school provide musical instruments? And I don't know the answer

65
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>to that in public schools because they did when I

66
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>was going to school.

67
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 3>I do know that my son's school has a music

68
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 3>room and there are instruments in them, but I don't

69
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 3>know if all of them are provided.

70
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you would be provided. When I went to school

71
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>with your violin with a trumpet, I remember, I took

72
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>class and I took trumpet, and the school gave them out.

73
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Most students spot their own.

74
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Is that where you learned to blow hard?

75
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Very strong. I played a great story too. I

76
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>played trumpet and I was horrible. And in high school

77
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 2>I played baritone horn and I was so bad they

78
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't let me play in band. I was just they

79
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>needed people on the field to move around, and the

80
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>teacher said, Bill, don't play. Don't seriously, don't play. And

81
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I will now tell you. You take a baritone horn and

82
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the mouthpiece makes a perfect bong. It is. You take

83
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 2>a little screen in the mouthpiece and you put the

84
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>tube into water, so you have a water a water bong.

85
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 2>And it was the perfect size and guess how many

86
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>people used a lot of people a baritone horn they did. Okay,

87
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I digress, and if you think I'm kidding, for those

88
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 2>of you that smoke, just put together one of these

89
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 2>with a baritone horn mouthpiece. All right, We're done with that.

90
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 2>That was kind of interesting. That tangent. How shocking. Okay,

91
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 2>the ad that Kanye West that known as easy on

92
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 2>It in the Super Bowl was kind of interesting because

93
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>he tells people to or he told people to go

94
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to his website. He's sitting in a dentists chair and

95
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>talked about the great teeth he has, which looked ridiculous. Now,

96
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 2>just before that, on the on X, he launches into

97
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>a sexist and anti Semitic rant, telling people to whip

98
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>your Jews, that's the problem. And he talks about going

99
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>to his website where he sells merch, and it turned

100
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>out he sold one piece of merch a T shirt

101
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that had a swastik on the front and he also

102
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>had posted I love Hitler. Kind of interesting. That's how

103
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 2>to get people on your side. So how did that

104
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>go on? How did that happen on the internet. Well,

105
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>there is an end around where you can literally post

106
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>crap like that. Even though the NFL has all the

107
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>control of the world and has to do with not

108
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>buying a national ad, you don't buy the national show.

109
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 2>What advertisers do is buy local shows, and each one

110
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>of those is controlled by the local either the regional affiliate,

111
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>which in this case was regional, and the NFL really

112
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't pay attention much of those. They What they do

113
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 2>is rely on the local station, well the local stations.

114
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>Keep in mind, the NFL has X number of commercials

115
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to run in a Super Bowl. Local stations have hundreds

116
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>to run every week, and so the oversight is, let's say,

117
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>less stringent. And this is well, we're talking about Channel

118
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 2>eleven now, is what this story is about in Wall

119
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Street Journal? How did that get through? Well, the ad

120
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 2>agency said that these rants happened before, just before, and

121
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>we didn't see him and we didn't know what he

122
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>was selling, and trying to separate themselves from doing it.

123
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 2>But that this is what does happen, is the these

124
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 2>advertisers do the end around. For example, kt TV, right, folks,

125
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Fox eleven ran an ad ran his ad about a

126
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 2>million bucks. The national ad buy was eight million dollars,

127
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 2>and so why would they only buy a local TV spot.

128
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Well in the major markets, well, you don't have to

129
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 2>buy spots, for example in South Dakota, because everybody has

130
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 2>a T shirt that has a swastik on it. They've

131
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 2>already bought it, and you're trying to get a major market.

132
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 2>And that was the end around. And the argument is

133
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 2>that that was added after the buy was in fact bought,

134
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>so he got around it. Now the ad agency that

135
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>created his ad and had nothing to do with the

136
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 2>swastik on the T shirt because that was his merch

137
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 2>that the ad agency said, we didn't know about it

138
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't available even until after we booked the ad.

139
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 2>They've dropped him. They said, you are done. And the

140
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>NFL of course went half berserk, saying that it had

141
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 2>no awareness of the ad buy or the spot until

142
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>after it ran, and strongly condemns any form of anti Semitism, which,

143
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I tend to well, I know that

144
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>that's their position, but in the end, they really don't

145
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 2>have much control. And while the NFL has very stringent

146
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 2>controls over the ads that run in the Super Bowl,

147
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 2>they give the local affiliate. I don't know how many

148
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 2>one to two ads to run during the Super Bowl

149
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:36.639
<v Speaker 2>for carrying it. So, therefore, if you want to run

150
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>an ad that is let's say, questionable, the trick is

151
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>to do it in two ways. Well, actually, you want

152
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 2>to do it locally for a couple of reasons. Number one,

153
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.399
<v Speaker 2>it's a lot cheaper than a national buy and number two,

154
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>getting it through is going to be a lot easier. Now,

155
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the other argument is during the Super Bowl, would you

156
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 2>think that a local affiliate would be a little bit

157
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:04.039
<v Speaker 2>more careful about running any kind of ad, especially from

158
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Kanye West. You think he's a little bit controversial. Yeah,

159
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 2>So that was the switcheroo. And as soon as as

160
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>soon as the ad ran, of course, the whole country

161
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.360
<v Speaker 2>went berserk. And by the way, it didn't run and

162
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.240
<v Speaker 2>most of the country people hadn't seen it. Neil, you

163
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:30.200
<v Speaker 2>remember when we did on the Morning Show and we

164
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 2>did a takeoff and made fun of and rightly we

165
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>were attacked about making fun of the gridlock and the

166
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 2>a number of people that had died in Saudi Arabia

167
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>going to Mecca and there was a bridge that went

168
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to the Kaba, which is where millions of Saudis go,

169
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>and there was this gridlock and one hundred and thirty

170
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>some odd people died, and our board operator at that

171
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.240
<v Speaker 2>time made fun of it, just made fun of it,

172
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.279
<v Speaker 2>pretended that there was a reporter, a KFI reporter and

173
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.960
<v Speaker 2>a helicopter overhead reporting on what was happening, and people

174
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 2>went nuts. Ago oh years and years ago. That must

175
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>have been twenty years ago when we did that. But

176
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 2>the point I'm making, and by the way, it was

177
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 2>probably inappropriate, although would we do it again today, I

178
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>have no idea. But the point I'm making is the

179
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.440
<v Speaker 2>response we got was astronomical. We were getting response from

180
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:37.159
<v Speaker 2>responses from Jordan and from Egypt, absolutely slamming us. And

181
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 2>how many people in Jordan and Egypt listened to the

182
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.679
<v Speaker 2>morning show.

183
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 1>So got a great following there.

184
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of Jordanians, I'm on, we do. Great

185
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 2>point is is that people went nuts who never even

186
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:57.120
<v Speaker 2>saw the spot. That's how controversial it was. Okay, ouvas

187
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 2>no remember that?

188
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>No grapes, Yeah, no grapes.

189
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 2>And that was when the great boycott was happening. Caesar

190
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Chavez and finally got the union recognized among the pickers

191
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>of grapes here in California. Went on for years. By

192
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.639
<v Speaker 2>the way, the boycott and it did work. Canadians are

193
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 2>going in.

194
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>My dad made shirts and stuff like that. That's where

195
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>the first time I ever heard of US.

196
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and now in Canada. Now in Canada, it's going

197
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:36.440
<v Speaker 2>across the country. They are they're going crazy with this,

198
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and they're saying no American products, you know, even they're

199
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>not going to the United States anymore for visiting ear nose

200
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 2>and throat specialists. It's vas No, that didn't work. We tried. Okay,

201
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.120
<v Speaker 2>let's let's move on. Well it turned out and it's

202
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>legit here that you know. Trump has gone against Canada

203
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.080
<v Speaker 2>big time with the tariffs twenty five percent tariffs against

204
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Canada and Mexico. And the reason is, and he gives

205
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of reasons, but primarily the fentanyl and the immigration,

206
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.039
<v Speaker 2>and Canada is saying, wait a minute, we're less than

207
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>one percent of the fentanyl, We're less than one percent

208
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>of the immigration problem. What are you doing? And now

209
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 2>he's talking about the balance of trade. I think that

210
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>kicked in a little bit later to justify what he's doing.

211
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.159
<v Speaker 2>So what are And by the way, he also said

212
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I love this. He wants to annex Canada. Is the

213
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>fifty first state, saying it would be much better off.

214
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Canada is not a viable country without US trade. And

215
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>so you have Canadians from Prime Minister Trudeau all the

216
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>way down and they are boycotting everything they can, Canceling

217
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Netflix for example, not buying American products of any kind,

218
00:14:52.080 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>booing at at NHL games and so what's going on.

219
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh and they're stopping to drink Florida Orange jues. Not

220
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 2>that there's a lot of that, Canceling trips to summer

221
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 2>vacation trips to for example, Disney World, canceled across the board,

222
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean all over the country. And the reality is

223
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.519
<v Speaker 2>in many cases, you know, when they talk about a

224
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 2>line in the sand, Vincente Fox, when he was president

225
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.919
<v Speaker 2>of Mexico said there was no border between the United

226
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 2>States and Mexico. There's tons of borders between that. Canada

227
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>not so much. For example, Craft American cheese made by

228
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Craft here, right, you know what is in Canada. It's

229
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Craft Canadian cheese, same manufacture. So much trade going back

230
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 2>and forth that it is going to be very problematic

231
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:58.360
<v Speaker 2>for American manufacturers and American consumers. Because our biggest trading

232
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.559
<v Speaker 2>partner is Canada. We get lumber from Canada. We get

233
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:10.039
<v Speaker 2>parts for cars from Canada, we get bad jokes from Canada.

234
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Canadians also don't get very excited. They really don't, because

235
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.639
<v Speaker 2>I remember I went to school in Canada for a

236
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>year and a half. Now I don't remember much of

237
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker 2>it because I was stoned for the entire eighteen months.

238
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Boy was all hire and the kite. Matter of fact,

239
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.559
<v Speaker 2>oh here's a fun story. A few years ago I

240
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>went back. I went to Simon Fraser University. I couldn't

241
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>find it. I had no idea where it was because

242
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.679
<v Speaker 2>I was so ripped during the time I was there.

243
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.639
<v Speaker 2>But it was. It was American products, back and forth.

244
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 2>We just there was no difference at all. Their idea

245
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 2>of terrorism was kind of fun though. Our idea of

246
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 2>terrorism buildings being blown up. Their idea, and this is

247
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.679
<v Speaker 2>when I went to school, is the quote terrorists which

248
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.399
<v Speaker 2>were actually separat as the party was the fl que.

249
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Their idea was to blow up post office boxes. That

250
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 2>was it. That was their terrorism. And usually after the

251
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:15.480
<v Speaker 2>post man or postwoman cleaned out the box right the

252
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>mail was taken out, then they blew it up. That

253
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.440
<v Speaker 2>was a big difference. The rest not so much so.

254
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>We are seeing some big boycotts. Is it going to

255
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>affect us? Well, it's going to affect the lumber industry,

256
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:37.400
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure. That was tariffs. And is disney World

257
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.319
<v Speaker 2>going to be affected? I don't know how many Canadians go.

258
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>We don't have to worry about craft Canadian cheese. The

259
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 2>other thing, Canadian bacon is not Canadian bacon in Canada.

260
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 2>It's called beck bacon. Just in case you get asked

261
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:05.039
<v Speaker 2>on on Jeopardy, you'll know the answer. Uvas No Americans. No. Oh,

262
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:09.359
<v Speaker 2>do we have a story. It's a Disneyland story. The

263
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Disability Access Service DAS, the DAS pass was and is

264
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.079
<v Speaker 2>for people who have physical disabilities. It used to be

265
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.079
<v Speaker 2>that it wasn't that hard to get. And my advice

266
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.839
<v Speaker 2>to people that were going to Disneyland's Disneyland, something that

267
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I have followed always is there's a Walmart right around

268
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the corner from Disneyland, very close. Go in there, buy

269
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.960
<v Speaker 2>one of those collapsible canes. They cost twelve bucks, and

270
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.359
<v Speaker 2>you walk into Disneyland with a cane and you get

271
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.279
<v Speaker 2>to the front of the line. And not only have

272
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.519
<v Speaker 2>I done that, I've told people to do that. And

273
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.640
<v Speaker 2>of course it worked brilliantly. Now not so much. They've

274
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:54.559
<v Speaker 2>made it much harder and to the point where there's

275
00:18:54.599 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>a lawsuit. There is a San Diego resident, Trisha applied

276
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 2>for a DAS pass, had to meet with a representative

277
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 2>of Disney and a DAS application interview, and they solicited

278
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>medical information. What the hell is that? Well, it turned

279
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.319
<v Speaker 2>out too many people were listening to my advice and

280
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 2>we're showing up with those collapsible canes and pretending that

281
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 2>they were disabled. So she sued. It's a class action lawsuit.

282
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker 2>First of all, it's because it's so much more difficult.

283
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Part of the lawsuit is she wants Disney to revert

284
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>to a previous, less restrictive version of DAS. Back we

285
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 2>go to the cane. Yeah, baby. She's also looking for damages, restitution,

286
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the cost of attorney's fees. It's your typical class action suit. Now,

287
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of course, Disney comes back with Disney offers a broad

288
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 2>range of effective disabil obility accommodations. Has worked extensively with

289
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 2>experts to ensure our guests individual needs are properly matched

290
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.920
<v Speaker 2>with the accommodation they require. Hey, this is about the line.

291
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 2>It's about how long you wait and line. That's what

292
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 2>this is about. The rest of it doesn't matter. They

293
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>have interpreters, they have ramps, they have all of this,

294
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 2>which is I understand. This is great. Disney is great

295
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:27.640
<v Speaker 2>in that regard. How about the lines.

296
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 3>It was so abused, man, you could tell it was

297
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 3>so abused, and they would bring everyone with them so

298
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:35.839
<v Speaker 3>you'd have.

299
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I know, you could bring one person, one

300
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 2>person out you I remember that. I remember I was

301
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 2>questioned all the time. I was even when I limped,

302
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I was questioned all the time. Hey, are you really disabled?

303
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Hit them with a cane. Hit them with a cane

304
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 2>and say you can't you can't question my disability.

305
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.000
<v Speaker 3>But think of it this way. If you're in a wheelchair,

306
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.680
<v Speaker 3>hear me out. If you're in a wheelchair, you're sitting down.

307
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:07.680
<v Speaker 3>That's easier in line.

308
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Right.

309
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.200
<v Speaker 3>There's other disabilities, like if you couldn't stand and you

310
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 3>had a can.

311
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.599
<v Speaker 2>No. I understand, But it worked out because there is

312
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:25.039
<v Speaker 2>a philosophy that people in wheelchairs just go to the

313
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.200
<v Speaker 2>front of the line. It's just the way it works.

314
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 2>It's people who are disabled. You want to help them.

315
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean it used to be you ignored them. They

316
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, they were sort of in the closet. Not anymore.

317
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the people with disabilities are front and center,

318
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 2>and disability has become a big issue, and people with

319
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.880
<v Speaker 2>disabilities should be and have been successful in changing the

320
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:57.880
<v Speaker 2>way society views folks with these disabilities. It's just this

321
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Disney wants people who are really disabled to get that

322
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.880
<v Speaker 2>dash pass. Bastards. Why would they listen? Stop it. I

323
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 2>have my cane, I am limping, I am disabled. And

324
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>here's the problem. They want medical information. Disney wants medical information.

325
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>While you're being you're asking for medical exceptions accommodations.

326
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 3>But wouldn't you worry more about somebody who maybe was

327
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.599
<v Speaker 3>on the spectrum, a young kid who couldn't stand in line.

328
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:33.480
<v Speaker 2>That is, by the way, one of the other ones.

329
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.880
<v Speaker 2>That is exactly one of the other ones that is allowed.

330
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 2>But you have you come in with a note from

331
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 2>your shrink as your kid is screaming, dancing around, punching

332
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:48.240
<v Speaker 2>other people in line. The kid has autism and that

333
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:50.480
<v Speaker 2>is an issue. I mean now and being serious for

334
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:53.160
<v Speaker 2>a moment, the kid has truly autism. Now you know

335
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that's where on the other where on the spectrum is it?

336
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:00.839
<v Speaker 2>My kid has autism. How do you know the kid

337
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.440
<v Speaker 2>is being quiet right there? Does a kid have to

338
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:09.319
<v Speaker 2>start kicking people in line? Or if you're really sophisticated,

339
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you tell your kid who doesn't have autism to start

340
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.960
<v Speaker 2>kicking people in line, and we're gonna go to the

341
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 2>front of the line. This is the reason that Disney

342
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.240
<v Speaker 2>has implemented this das policy bill.

343
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 1>It's because of you. Yeah, it used to work, I know,

344
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 1>but you're taking advantage.

345
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.119
<v Speaker 2>That's correct.

346
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know that is absolutely correct and wrecking it

347
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 1>for everybody else.

348
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 2>That is fine with me.

349
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:41.119
<v Speaker 1>You Bill are a dass hole.

350
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh, very strong. All right, we're done with that. Oh,

351
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 2>we have a lot coming up, all right. Democrats think

352
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.160
<v Speaker 2>they are a lot smarter than Republicans. Democrats and I

353
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 2>am not one, nor am i Republican. I am an

354
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 2>affiliated have been my entire life as a voter. It's

355
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:10.039
<v Speaker 2>absolutely true the elitism of Democrats worse smarter than you.

356
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 2>You guys are all idiots. You don't go to the dentists,

357
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:16.079
<v Speaker 2>You go to NASCAR races. Yep, yep, yep. Oh let

358
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.799
<v Speaker 2>me tell you how wrong, how wrong you are. And

359
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:24.160
<v Speaker 2>by the way, this costs elections big time and I'll

360
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>come back with that, let's check in with now, let's

361
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:30.799
<v Speaker 2>just bail out for a moment, and we'll come back.

362
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:35.400
<v Speaker 2>KFI so slick. That was how I corrected myself, and

363
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 2>it sounded like a sort of planned Oh damn, I'm good. No,

364
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:43.640
<v Speaker 2>this is why I got paid to do KFI. Am
