WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:04.599 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:26.600 AM six forty. My ladies and gentlemen, here's Wayne Resnick. 3 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.759 JFI six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning, 4 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.320 It's the Bill Handle Show. He is back from vacation 5 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.399 on Monday. I'm Wayne Resbick sitting in one more time 6 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:50.799 until nine o'clock and then it's full retirement for Wayne. Michelle, 7 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.600 You're not gonna like this, but I've decided, well, you know, 8 00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:02.679 it's the last day, so I'm working without a net. 9 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.680 And here's what i mean by that. Some I have 10 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.480 never been about Mike to whatever extent that I've been 11 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:20.040 successful in the sense that three different program directors have 12 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.560 kept me on the air and I've never been fired 13 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.879 and whatever. It hasn't been because I'm just so cool 14 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.840 and have such an awesome personality that people they just 15 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:39.200 want to hang out. So I'm assuming it has a 16 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.400 lot to do with all the work that I put 17 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.439 into every show to learn as much as I can 18 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.040 and try to synthesize it in my mind so that 19 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.599 maybe from time to time I make sense on the 20 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.680 air about a topic of the day. And so a 21 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.400 typical prep for a show is to read a tremendous 22 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:02.599 amount of material and highlight it and the whole thing. Well, 23 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.879 I didn't do that today. Uh Oh, I read. I read, 24 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.159 I mean the things we're gonna talk about. I read 25 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.960 stuff about the things we're gonna talk about. I didn't 26 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.080 take any notes. I didn't highlight anything. It's gonna be 27 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.840 just whatever. Whatever I remember, You'll be fine. I'll see, yeah, 28 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.879 wall Look, it might be, it might be unbelievably impressive. 29 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.960 I think it will be. I predict it will be. 30 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.479 Or at might crash and burn into utter chaos. But 31 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.840 who cares? Why here are you retiring anyway? Yeah, here's 32 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.879 another thing. Should you hear I don't think you will, 33 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.479 But should you hear anybody in the background who is 34 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:56.240 not a human being? Because it will be. Because I 35 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.759 am now coming to you today live from my home 36 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.120 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, which was part of the 37 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.840 whole retirement strategy. I bought a house here some time ago, 38 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.400 remember when I went from full time to part time. 39 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:20.439 That was part of the plan. So it's possible you'll 40 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.840 hear a me ow at some point. Pay no mind. 41 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.120 I love it is this new mew. 42 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:35.719 No no, it's Meadow. It's miss Meadow, and you just 43 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:41.759 never know. She's very she's very insistent, all right. So 44 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.360 that's just the notes that you need in case, in 45 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.719 case I stop making any sense at all, or you 46 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.520 hear should you hear a mew or something in the background, 47 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.159 you will, hopefully you will know, although in two hours 48 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.639 it'll be different people listening and they won't know because 49 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.159 I'm not giving this speech at the beginning of every singment. 50 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.879 But I have, and I did, and it's on the record, 51 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.919 and nobody can say I didn't say anything to explain 52 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.919 whatever might happen today. And with that being said, here 53 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:19.000 we go with today's handle on the news. Amy King, 54 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.600 Oh wait, good morning, Michelle, good morning, and Kono Mona. Wayne. 55 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.720 You're a good guy. You're a better guy. I love 56 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.480 what you're doing with That's not true. I love what 57 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.360 you're doing with those bumps. I know I've told you 58 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.399 many times. I'm not going to be regretting. I will 59 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.040 not regret that I never told you. But still it 60 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.079 can't be said enough the way that you pick the 61 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.680 bumps to match the topic that's coming up, and you're 62 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.279 very clever about it. Some people might try to do 63 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.800 it and every time it's the obvious thing or it's dumb, 64 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.560 but you are smart about it. Thank you and Amo 65 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.160 King o Waynorezzo, Oh what we have been through on 66 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.319 that morning show when we were on it. The Morning 67 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.680 Show is quite an environment, is it not, Michelle? Oh, 68 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.040 yes it is. It is unlike any other show on KFI. 69 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:21.360 You can decide how I mean that for yourself. All right, 70 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.040 ladies and gentlemen, No, that's gonna be so professional from 71 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.639 here on out. Watch this. It's time for handle On 72 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:34.920 the news, it's Amy King and me and our lead story. Well, 73 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.279 a small plane crashed through the roof of a furniture 74 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:46.480 manufacturing building right next to the Fullerton Airport. Two people 75 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:52.360 are dead, nineteen injured. Now, eight of those were treated 76 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.279 at the scene and released. Eleven of those were hospitalized. 77 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.160 We don't know anything really about the identities of these 78 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.199 people yet. But it was ninety seconds after takeoff from 79 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.439 the Fullerton Airport. The pilot radioed, Hey, I need an 80 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:12.519 emergency landing. So there was some obviously serious mechanical something happened. 81 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.800 I need an emergency landing. They said, okay, you can 82 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.360 here's where you can land. If you need to land 83 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.319 on this side of the runway, that's fine. If you 84 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.519 need to land on that side of the runway, that's 85 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.360 okay too. Right now, it's an emergency landing, and unfortunately 86 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.759 the pilot was not able to make it back to 87 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.360 a runway. 88 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.439 You know, Will Cole Schreiber was talking about when they 89 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.879 used to do take off and landing from the Fullerton Airport, 90 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.920 and he said it was always a very unique and 91 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.519 a little unsettling because on a lot of airports there's 92 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.199 a lot of green space around the runway and this one, 93 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.680 he said, it's like you're you're flying right over warehouses. 94 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.480 You don't have that kind of I don't know, breathing 95 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:55.040 space whatever. 96 00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:00.439 There's no buffer, there's no buffer area. Buffer. Yeah. Well, 97 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.360 I mean, it is a tragedy. The only thing maybe 98 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.160 you shouldn't even say this, but there's kind of like 99 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.279 there is this sense of at least it wasn't a 100 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:16.720 person being evil. That's not very much to take away 101 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.199 from a tragedy like this, and maybe that says something 102 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.360 about the state of the world that it's even something 103 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.360 that it's even an observation to say, well, at least 104 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.279 this was some kind of accident and not somebody trying 105 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.079 to hurt people whenever you would like, Amy, I'm sorry, 106 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.439 I'm done. Okay, this one's going to be tight. 107 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.800 So the new Congress convenes today, they'll be sworn in, 108 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.720 but before they're even sworn in, they have to elect 109 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.360 a Speaker of the House. Of course, Mike Johnson wants 110 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.319 the job, but whether he can hold the gavel is 111 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.600 going to be uh, it's a little bit up in 112 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.519 the air because he doesn't have any wiggle room. The 113 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.639 Republican won the House by a two twenty to two 114 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.720 fifteen majority in the twenty twenty four elections, but they're 115 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.399 going to start with two hundred nineteen members because former 116 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.439 Representative Matt Gates of course resigned. So and they've already 117 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.800 got one guy who says not voting for him. I 118 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.199 believe it's Massy, So just one more could unseat him 119 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.199 or at least make things a lot more difficult. 120 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.399 Well, let's see if they have a you know, they're 121 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.319 setting an example right now, even though it's not really 122 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.200 a first impression, it's a first impression for this term, 123 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.559 and they can get off on the right foot, or 124 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.559 they can show us that it's the same chaotic house 125 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.799 that it's been for the last however many years. As 126 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.840 of yesterday, there were fourteen Republican House members who said 127 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.879 they were undecided about voting for Johnson. So it seems 128 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.240 like he's really got to he's got to have some 129 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.000 good luck on top of whatever behind the scenes maneuver 130 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:05.320 that he's been able to do. But we'll see what happens. 131 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.879 So I'm doing are we? Are we now? Sorry? I 132 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:14.480 think I'm working off something. Are we now? The opposite 133 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:20.120 of what the story says? Michelle, I don't know what 134 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:25.279 you mean. Well, Amy is doing because we skipped we 135 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.200 were skipping a story. So it's amas turn again, right, No, no, no, 136 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.639 I sent you the updated Yeah, I guess what. Guess 137 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:37.799 who didn't? Guess who didn't? Guess who didn't? I sent 138 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.679 you the new numbered Uh yeah, yeah, okay, hold on, wow, 139 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.879 this is really so it's going to be so professional. No, no, no, no, no, 140 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.240 hold on. Here's what we're gonna do. I'm going to 141 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.799 try to Yeah, here it is. Story number three is yours? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 142 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.679 I got it. I got it, I got it, I 143 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.159 got it. I got a lot, I got a lot 144 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.679 of I got a lot on my mind. Yes you 145 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.320 might imagine, all right, So just so people know, So 146 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.200 what happens is, for a handle on the news, the 147 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.720 producer in this case, Michelle picks a bunch of stories 148 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.039 and puts them in an order that makes sense. And 149 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.639 then we have a stack of these stories, and as 150 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.840 you can tell, we alternate presenting the story so they're 151 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.039 marked up with who's supposed to do it. And then 152 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.279 we did make a change, and then stupid me didn't 153 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:27.639 download the change one. But guess what all is well, 154 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.799 A family led coalition who want Eric and Lyle Menendez 155 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:37.039 to be re sentenced and released immediately. Our meeting today 156 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:42.200 with New La County District Attorney Nathan Hakman over twenty 157 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.919 members of Jose and Kitty Menendez's family. They all these, 158 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.320 I mean not every member of the family supports this, 159 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:51.879 but obviously all the people who are showing up today 160 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.480 fully support some kind of a resentencing process that will 161 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:02.320 take into account the abuse and that trauma that Eric 162 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.039 and Leilemanendez suffered at the hands of their father, and 163 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:11.720 also what they say is substantial rehabilitation over the last 164 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:17.080 thirty five years. Let me end with this, I feel 165 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:23.799 like you can't have both. If they deserve great leniency 166 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.720 because of what they suffered at the hands of their father, 167 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.799 then that would mean they're not criminally minded, they're not 168 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.840 vicious killers, they're not anti social. So what would there 169 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:40.039 have been to rehabilitate now if they just mean they 170 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.519 behaved themselves in prison, I guess that's a different thing. Hi, 171 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.759 Nathan hakman Man, I don't know. He's no George Gascon. 172 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.399 I think we can agree on that. But they're having 173 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.639 a meeting today. I don't know when we'll hear anything 174 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.480 about what might actually happen. 175 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.799 Well, if you don't make a lot, you're gonna get 176 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.440 a little more. Workers are less than sixty three thousand 177 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.080 dollars a year in California can now receive up to 178 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:08.679 ninety percent of their regular pay while they're out on 179 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.159 family leave, caring for a new child or maybe a 180 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:16.000 sick family member. If you earn more than that sixty 181 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.799 three thousand dollars threshold, you'll get seventy percent of your wages. 182 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.639 The increase applies to new claims filed on or after 183 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.120 January first of this year. Claims from twenty twenty four 184 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.960 do not qualify for the new rates. 185 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.000 Now, I don't have a calculator in front of me, 186 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.039 and I wouldn't want to try to use it any 187 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.399 way to figure this out. But assuming this really is 188 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:42.200 a bright line rule, where if you make sixty two thousand, 189 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.360 nine hundred ninety nine dollars you get ninety percent of that, 190 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.440 and if you make sixty three thousand dollars you get 191 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.159 seventy percent of that, there are going to be people 192 00:12:55.679 --> 00:13:02.200 in a band of income that are worse off even 193 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:08.080 though their salary is more, which doesn't seem. That seems 194 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.679 weird to me. Like I understand if you low income 195 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.080 people should should be able to have more money when 196 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:19.879 they're on family or sick leave, But should they take 197 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.279 home now more money on leave than somebody whose regular 198 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.559 pays more. It doesn't see. Maybe they do have a 199 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:33.000 ramping down of the percentages. So that's somebody whose salary 200 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.480 is actually higher than yours. You both go on family leave, 201 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:40.279 and you, as the higher salary person, you're actually now 202 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.480 getting less than that person. It's like getting a bonus. 203 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:55.320 Oh okay. Now, San Francisco and West Hollywood have had 204 00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:01.320 cannabis lounges for some time, but all you could do 205 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.919 there is go and sit there and use weed. Hey, 206 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.200 could I get a casadiya? 207 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:07.399 No? 208 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.399 Hey, maybe a band is going to come play while 209 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:17.440 I consume my weed. No, well, now the answer is yes. 210 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.720 And also this will spread across the whole state. It's 211 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:25.480 Assembly Bills seventeen seventy five and it legalizes these they 212 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.480 call them Amsterdam style cannabis cafes, So you can go in, 213 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.159 you can buy cannabis, you can use it there, and 214 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.679 also you'll be able to get food, non alcoholic drinks, 215 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.120 and see live entertainment. The American Cancer Society does not 216 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:47.519 like this one little bit because of the public health 217 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:53.159 hazard with smoking, and also because some people invariably will 218 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.840 leave there high as a kite and get behind the 219 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.320 wheel of a car, just as they do with alcohol 220 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.440 at bars. But that's what's happening. That's going to be 221 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.399 I think, big business for a certain kind of clientele. 222 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.840 And there's at least one of these places that's that said, 223 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.039 we're going to have two vip rooms. Oh my goodness, 224 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.399 I cannot wait to see the TMZ stories that come 225 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:26.159 out of the celebrity cannabis lounge VIP rooms. Holly, if 226 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:32.960 I may say, holy smokes, the goat gets another honor. 227 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.600 Eleven time Olympic medalist Simone Biles. 228 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:42.519 Has been named as Sports Illustrated's twenty twenty four Sportsperson 229 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.759 of the Year. Of course, she gets the award after 230 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.360 taking the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics by storm. She 231 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.799 added four new medals to her collection in the team, 232 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.080 the all around, the vault and floor exercises. 233 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.240 Good for her, She's awesome. She is sit taculate. You 234 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.039 know what. I don't know if there's something about gymnastics, 235 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:11.759 but can anybody name a prominent gymnast who's like a 236 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.919 jerk or isn't delightful? I can't think of one that's 237 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.159 the job? No are It seems like they're all delightful. 238 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.360 I don't know if that's even true, but certainly the 239 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.200 big names over the years, they all seem to have 240 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:30.080 been very delightful people and also just so oh sorry. 241 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.120 She She gave an interview yesterday where she said she 242 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.840 does not plan to compete in twenty twenty eight. 243 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.279 I know some people were thinking that she might, she said, 244 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.000 because there's nothing left for her to do. Yeah, she 245 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.240 has to prove nothing. Why risk an injury You've already 246 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.759 accomplished everything, and I suspect there's plenty of money to 247 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.000 be legitimately made now with endorsements, probably see her anchoring. 248 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.000 Maybe anchory is not the right word, but you know, 249 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:02.399 commentating on coverage of the very natural progression for her. 250 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.919 She's great. Yeah, she'd be great. 251 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.480 Although you know what, there, I'm surprised that we didn't. 252 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.160 We haven't seen more endorsements from her. I think there 253 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.640 were a couple during the Olympics, but since then, I 254 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:12.319 haven't seen her. 255 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.559 Yeah, I think we just will see her move into 256 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:20.839 more of a media facing profile. Or maybe she's decided 257 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.200 I just want to live my life with my man 258 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:25.799 and I'm not I don't need to be in the 259 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:27.359 public eye in any fashion. 260 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.799 She's got her gym in Texas where they train, you know, 261 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.519 so she's very into that. That's her focus right now 262 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.240 is to make sure that the situation that she went 263 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.039 through in coming up and training, you know. 264 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:41.960 Doesn't happen to other gymnasts. She wants them to be 265 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:47.359 a positive experience, good for her, bad for Apple, who's 266 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.559 agreed to pay ninety five million dollars in a settlement 267 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.519 accusing them of using Siri their voice activated AI assistant 268 00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:01.039 to eavesdrop on people, shocking activating it. These are the allegations. 269 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:05.319 They've admitted no wrongdoing, so these are merely allegations activating 270 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.960 it when you didn't want it to be activated, listening 271 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:15.200 to you, and then selling some of that stuff to advertisers. 272 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.640 They will always try to steal every piece of not 273 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.359 just Apple, this is a general thing now, every website, 274 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:29.920 every tech company wants to steal as much information as possible, 275 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.799 specifically to sell it to advertisers. Now, since they have 276 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.319 admitted no wrongdoing, we'll never know for sure how bad 277 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.799 the truth really is. And also, Apple agreeing to pay 278 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.839 ninety five million dollars is like me agreeing to pay 279 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:50.960 less than one penny for something. So and also the 280 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:54.880 fact that the settlement is being accepted by the plaintiffs 281 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.279 to me suggests there may not be as much there 282 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:01.920 as the headline would lead you to belief. But if 283 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:07.799 you owned an Apple Syria equipped device starting in September 284 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.680 seventeenth of twenty fourteen through the end of last year, 285 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.720 you will be eligible to file acclaim and you could 286 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:20.079 get up to twenty dollars per device covered by the settlement, 287 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:24.319 depending on how many people file I don't know. I 288 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.319 don't know if you're like me, where you're just constantly 289 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:32.519 buying new My problem is iPads. I decided sometime I 290 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.480 want to have an iPad in every room. I don't 291 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.079 want to carry an iPad from one room to the other. 292 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.279 And then of course, you know you got to replace 293 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.920 them from time to time. So assuming I can remember 294 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.799 them all, I might walk away with like one hundred 295 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.720 and fifty bucks or one hundred, Dad would be one 296 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.319 hundred and forty or one hundred and sixty multiples of twenty. 297 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.279 You might need that in your retirement. Oh give definitely, 298 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.200 this is the best streets. And not to go to 299 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:06.079 summer camp. There's an eighty acre campground, has a river, lake, 300 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:10.000 boat ramps, docks, cabins. It's in northern Minnesota and it's 301 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:13.039 available now because they had to close it. And here's why, 302 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:17.920 because it is a camp for HIV positive kids. And 303 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:23.160 guess what, there aren't any anymore. The rates are down 304 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.000 so low, down to below one percent, that they don't 305 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.880 need the camp anymore. 306 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:29.880 I love this story. I know right it. 307 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.000 They can repurpose it for absolutely. We always need a 308 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.400 good summer, though we always need a good summer camp, 309 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.119 but I love that this one isn't needed. 310 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.400 Yes, maybe it can just be a regular summer camp. Now, well, 311 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.599 those of you people with those clean air vehicle decals 312 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:58.920 on your tesla's gloating as you drive all by yourself 313 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:05.160 in the carpool A. Sorry, Charlie's it's going to expire. 314 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.920 Now here's the thing I don't understand. Is this a 315 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.279 money thing or is this I think this is a 316 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:17.640 permission from the feds thing. The Clean Air Vehicle Decal 317 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:23.680 program allowed people who had favored cars, meaning low emission cars, 318 00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:29.559 to drive by themselves in the carpool lines, and Governor 319 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:34.200 Knewsom signed an extension to have this thing going until 320 00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:40.799 January twenty twenty seven. However, it only works because we 321 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.480 had permission from the federal government to do it. Well, 322 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.319 guess who's coming into office. Guess who doesn't like California 323 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:53.880 too much. Guess what administration's not as concerned about things 324 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:58.680 like emissions as the current administration. And so if they 325 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:02.400 do not extend the permission, than the state law that 326 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:06.640 Newsom signed is moot and the program will shut down 327 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.039 and all the people you know, you don't think about 328 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:13.279 when you're on the freeway, you don't think about I 329 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:17.440 never did. You don't think about I guess traffic's not 330 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:20.039 as bad as it could be because some of the 331 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.440 people that would normally be here with me in the 332 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.920 regular lanes are over there in the HOV lane. But 333 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:31.039 that's been the case. So nobody's sure exactly what will happen, 334 00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:36.799 But it could mean regular lanes get more congested. But 335 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.799 it also could mean the regular lanes and the carpool 336 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.960 lanes go slower. Because if you've ever driven, if you've 337 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.519 ever had the rare privilege of driving in a carpool lane, 338 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:55.039 you know that you can only get in and out 339 00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:58.359 of that lane as fast or as slow as the 340 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.640 regular traffic is going. So if all the people that 341 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.920 used to be in the carpool lane by themselves have 342 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.039 to go on the road and it clogs up the 343 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.640 regular lanes, I should say, clogs up more. Now the 344 00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.880 traffic is slower, so you people on the HOV lanes, 345 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.559 you may be having to go slower too as people 346 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.799 in the HOV lanes get in and get out of 347 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:20.720 those lanes. It could be a real disaster. 348 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.640 But part of this has to be about money too, 349 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.920 because a lot of people bought these cars because they 350 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.079 got that federal tax credit, and they don't get that 351 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:30.799 they're not going to get that anymore. 352 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.279 And they may not get permission to drive in the 353 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.759 carpool lane by themselves. And then, now, why did you 354 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:37.599 do it? A lot of people only did that so 355 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.759 they could play Minecraft while the car drives itself exactly. Well, 356 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.880 we'll see. Look, maybe it'll slip through the cracks, except 357 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.400 I don't think it's a matter of slipping through the cracks. 358 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.920 The federal government will have to take affirmative steps to 359 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.960 lengthen it. So we can't count on the Trump administration 360 00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.960 just not really realizing and not getting around to stop it. 361 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.079 Somebody in the Trump administration would have to make a 362 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.000 point of extending permission for it. 363 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.559 He's got a buddy now in Elon Musk, who has 364 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:10.200 a lot of those cars on the road. 365 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:10.400 Right. 366 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.880 You know what, this is a good point, Amy King. 367 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.960 You are really able to see all the chess pieces 368 00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.599 and how they fit together. Maybe Elon Musk has a 369 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.960 vested interest in this program continuing, and he certainly seems 370 00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:28.799 to have the presidenc here well. 371 00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:33.119 The Ralphs in Pacific Balisades says it has had enough. 372 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.440 There's a grocery store that is suing seven food vendors 373 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.119 because they've set up streets. They've set up on the 374 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.720 streets and sidewalks around the store, and Ralph's is saying, 375 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.680 you know what, you guys are trespassing, creating a public nuisance, 376 00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.279 being negligent. 377 00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:50.839 They say. 378 00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:54.880 The trucks and their clients illegally park, obstruct the view 379 00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:59.440 of traffic for Ralph's customers and employees, obstruct pedestrian walkways, 380 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.039 draw crowds, and sometimes there are fights, and they litter 381 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:05.279 in the Ralph's parking lots. 382 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:13.160 They wanted to stop. You know, that's if it's as 383 00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:16.200 bad as Ralph says it is. If it's half as 384 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:19.160 bad as Ralph says it is, they have a point. 385 00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:22.359 And I think the reason the food trucks want to 386 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:24.680 set up there is because, of course you've got a 387 00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:28.680 lot of people coming to the rause, but also I 388 00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.880 think the key is probably and that's where there's a 389 00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.839 parking lot for the food truck customers. And where else 390 00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.759 would they be able to set up in Pacific Palisades 391 00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:42.680 to accommodate that kind of traffic. So they are perhaps 392 00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:47.359 glombing off of Ralph's infrastructure. And if those people are 393 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:54.440 not behaving themselves and they're not shopping at Ralph's, get 394 00:25:54.440 --> 00:26:01.799 the hook. Randy's Donuts, long times in California favorite Randy's 395 00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:07.240 Donuts has a new location in Orange County. It opens today. 396 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.720 It's at four forty South Anaheim Boulevard, and if you 397 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:18.559 go there, it's in the Anaheim Packing District. In case 398 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.079 the street address doesn't ring a bell, if you're in 399 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.160 Orange County, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. 400 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:31.799 Free glazed donut. Just show up, be nice. They're giving 401 00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:36.680
