Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
Speaker 1: Am six forty. My ladies and gentlemen, here's Wayne Resnick.
Speaker 2: I Am six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2: Good morning, it's the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 3: He is back from vacation on Monday. Before we get
Speaker 3: to anything else, Now, this might not work, but I
Speaker 3: hope it works because it is a very special day
Speaker 3: here on the Bill Handle Show. Let's see if I
Speaker 3: can show you why. Oh no, that's not the right.
Speaker 2: Hold on. Let me see if I can show you why.
Speaker 4: Part twoday, we'll say here it's a birthday.
Speaker 3: Happy birthday to our own Coono, the technical director of
Speaker 3: the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2: How many years young are you? Tomorrow?
Speaker 5: I will be thirty six. Wait, I'm just not here
Speaker 5: tomorrow tomorrow. So they're celebrating me today because I'm not here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's ditching us for his birthday. What are you seven?
Speaker 2: Take off work for your birthday?
Speaker 5: Well, not taking off work for my birthday. It just
Speaker 5: happened to land on my birthday that I'm taking off work.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yeah, And if I see you at the
Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese, I'm off tomorrow too. I'm going with.
Speaker 5: Oh my check is going to celebrate. It's okay, it's
Speaker 5: not bad. Well, I listen, it's fine.
Speaker 3: It's probably I probably would not have gone to the
Speaker 3: trouble that it took. I appreciate to be able to
Speaker 3: play audio from where I'm sitting and to find a
Speaker 3: fun little song. And I probably wouldn't have done anything
Speaker 3: if I had known that. It is not technically your birthday,
Speaker 3: but happy birthday to you. Hold onto that happy birthday greeting.
Speaker 3: Hold on to it. It's not active. It's like a
Speaker 3: post dated check. Okay, it's not active until tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Got it. I'm all right now. It is not Ann's birthday.
Speaker 2: But good morning to you. Good morning. Do you care
Speaker 2: to share why you will not be with us tomorrow
Speaker 2: or would you rather keep some semblance of a private life.
Speaker 2: I'll keep you all guessing, all right.
Speaker 3: Fair enough, Neil Savedri, you have no private life. No,
Speaker 3: everybody knows everything you do all the time.
Speaker 6: Yes, I like it that way. I'm a man of
Speaker 6: the people. Give them what they want and they take you.
Speaker 6: You are definitely a man of the people. How are you, sir,
Speaker 6: I'm I'm well, fighting a little cold or something other
Speaker 6: than Oh.
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh you better not miss tomorrow. It's foody Friday tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Oh, yes it is. It might be not screw me
Speaker 2: over on a foody Friday. Oh that's the worst.
Speaker 3: Screw me over on a foody Friday once, shame on you,
Speaker 3: same thing twice. Won't get fooled again. That's right, Amo King. Oh,
Speaker 3: Amy King, good morning, Good morning. We have a story, Ah,
Speaker 3: you can handle on the news coming up that I
Speaker 3: think is of exceptional interest to you. Yes, and when
Speaker 3: people will know when that story arrives. Okay, I say,
Speaker 3: let's begin handle on the news, Nil Sevadra, Amy King.
Speaker 3: I'm Wayne Resnick in for Bill and this is the
Speaker 3: big bucks lead story. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has
Speaker 3: agreed to pay a lot of money. I'm purposefully withholding
Speaker 3: the amount for surprise, but a lot of money in
Speaker 3: a settlement with thirteen hundred and fifty three victims saying
Speaker 3: they suffered horrific abuse at the hands of local Catholic priests.
Speaker 3: This is after months of negotiations, and this puts to
Speaker 3: bed apparently twenty five years of various similar litigation against
Speaker 3: the la Archdiocese. The amount of the settlement eight hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty million dollars. There will be a process by
Speaker 3: which the plaintiffs all decide how it gets distributed amongst
Speaker 3: the victims. The archdiocese has nothing to say about who
Speaker 3: individually gets what. They just said, here's eight hundred and
Speaker 3: eighty million dollars. Is that enough if you figure out
Speaker 3: who gets how much? Here's the thing, because I saw
Speaker 3: the headline and I thought, wow, that's an unbelievably huge settlement.
Speaker 2: There must have been a lot of abuse.
Speaker 3: But guess what, that's not even almost half the story
Speaker 3: because they previously did a settlement of seven hundred and
Speaker 3: forty million dollars to a whole different set of victims.
Speaker 3: So they have paid out now or will have paid
Speaker 3: out once they make good on this over a billion
Speaker 3: and a half bucks.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Instead of getting rid of priests who molest kids, they
Speaker 3: will be paying a billion and a half. I also, though,
Speaker 3: suspect that this is not really going to cause major hardship.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're.
Speaker 3: Meeting at the la Archdiocese right now and they're going, uugh,
Speaker 3: we we could only keep one HBO or Hulu, which
Speaker 3: can we keep?
Speaker 2: That discussion is not happening.
Speaker 3: A discussion that happens in many homes of many good
Speaker 3: people who never molested anybody.
Speaker 2: So that's just going on there.
Speaker 6: We're at the Vatican going which painting do we sell?
Speaker 2: That's pretty much which ancient secret jewel? Yeah, that's horrible.
Speaker 6: And the hard working people that put their money in
Speaker 6: those baskets.
Speaker 3: And that's a settlement. And I say that because that's
Speaker 3: not They went to trial and a jury said, oh
Speaker 3: my god, this is so bad. We're going to really
Speaker 3: soak you. That's the amount they agreed.
Speaker 2: To pay. Mm mmmm oh. Yeah.
Speaker 3: That big rally happened yesterday in front of the courthouse downtown.
Speaker 7: Amy tell us what it was about. Well, the big
Speaker 7: question is are the brothers going to get a break?
Speaker 7: Relatives of Lyle and Eric Menendez gathered downtown to make
Speaker 7: impact please for their release from prison. The brothers have
Speaker 7: served more than thirty years in prison. The La La
Speaker 7: County District Attorney Gascone is weighing new evidence in the murders.
Speaker 7: More than two dozen family members participated. They are asking
Speaker 7: to either either have the murder convictions thrown out or
Speaker 7: hold a new trial or re sentence them in light
Speaker 7: of the new evidence, which is that they were horribly
Speaker 7: sexually abused by.
Speaker 2: The father who they killed to tell the people what
Speaker 2: they did.
Speaker 7: They killed their parents in nineteen eighty nine right with
Speaker 7: a with shotguns and apparently then after shooting them, reloaded
Speaker 7: and it was jose and Kitty Menendez. They were shot
Speaker 7: in their home in Beverly Hills, and the guides never
Speaker 7: denied that they killed them, but they said that they
Speaker 7: did it in self defense after suffering years of physical
Speaker 7: and sexual abuse.
Speaker 3: In the first trial, they were allowed to present that information.
Speaker 2: The jury hung.
Speaker 3: In the second trial, the judge decided not to allow
Speaker 3: them to present that information and they were convicted. And
Speaker 3: then they had all every time they went on appeal,
Speaker 3: they lost. By the way back at the time they
Speaker 3: went to every appeal.
Speaker 2: Lose, lose, lose, lose.
Speaker 3: Here we are now, all these years later, and there's
Speaker 3: some new evidence about the abuse, and this is why
Speaker 3: they want to reopen the home thing, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Michael Monks was there from KFI News and he will
Speaker 3: join us at seven and give us a recap and
Speaker 3: depending on if there's time left after the recap, I
Speaker 3: do have something to say about that rally yesterday and
Speaker 3: it's not going to be well received.
Speaker 2: I don't think I have.
Speaker 6: A question for you Wayne, with the way the courts
Speaker 6: work and all of that, since both of his parents,
Speaker 6: both of their parents rather are now deceased, even at
Speaker 6: their own hand, do they get any of the money
Speaker 6: from the like, do they have money even though they're
Speaker 6: in prison? Will they come out to the money that
Speaker 6: their parents made or inheritance or any of that.
Speaker 3: You know what, that is a really good question, and
Speaker 3: I don't have an answer for you. That is something
Speaker 3: to ponder because if because the whole point here is
Speaker 3: for them to get out, and you're right, and they
Speaker 3: will come out, and what will they re well all
Speaker 3: the other family in terms of will they have resources, obviously,
Speaker 3: I assume all those family members that were at the
Speaker 3: rally yesterday would help them out.
Speaker 2: As to the.
Speaker 3: Other the kind of possibly nauseating moral implications of coming
Speaker 3: out and getting all your parents' money, maybe, which is
Speaker 3: the moment they were accused of in the first place.
Speaker 3: They were accused of killing them for greed. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: kind of because they went on shopping sprees apparently right
Speaker 3: after they killed them. But no, I don't know the
Speaker 3: specific answer. I mean if you if you have a
Speaker 3: will and your kids are in your will and then
Speaker 3: they murder you. I don't know what provision of law
Speaker 3: kicks in that says, sorry, you can't have what the
Speaker 3: will says.
Speaker 6: The murder clause? Yoho, yoho. A Premier pass for me?
Speaker 6: I want to skip as many Disneyland attraction lines as possible. Okay,
Speaker 6: what are you willing to pay for it? So Disneyland
Speaker 6: Resort will now have a new line skipping option called
Speaker 6: Lightning Lane Premiere Pass, and it will cost four hundred
Speaker 6: bucks per person. That's in addition to your ticket cost.
Speaker 6: And if you want the whole shebang, it's got to
Speaker 6: be with your park hopper too, because you want to
Speaker 6: enjoy all the Lightning Lane.
Speaker 2: Rides, of which there are how many I'm.
Speaker 6: Trying to think, what like twenty twenty four Lightning Lane rides?
Speaker 3: Four hundred dollars to skip the line? Wants to ride
Speaker 3: twenty four of the many attractions between Disneyland and California
Speaker 3: Adventure on top of the regular admission.
Speaker 2: By the way, you still have to buy the regular ticket.
Speaker 2: And this is not a it's not a season pass,
Speaker 2: it's not a long term pass.
Speaker 3: It's literally just that day that you're there for four
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, you can skip the line twenty four times
Speaker 3: once paride.
Speaker 6: You're kind of it's a little reductionistic because you're leaving
Speaker 6: out the fact that you also get to feel superior
Speaker 6: to everybody else. So it's not just the line hopping,
Speaker 6: it's the oh sorry, I'm going in front of you,
Speaker 6: which I.
Speaker 7: Think you go in front of even the lightning lane people. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean how you'll go right to the front.
Speaker 2: How much is.
Speaker 3: That worthwaye that feeling of superiority, yes, being a part
Speaker 3: of late stage capitalism that combines profit driven motive with elitism.
Speaker 3: How much is it worthway? Did you ask me how
Speaker 3: much is it worth? Or how much does it feel? Well? Well,
Speaker 3: the feeling is what's got the value here. You asked
Speaker 3: me how much the feeling is worth? What would you
Speaker 3: pay to pass everybody up and make it feed?
Speaker 2: No? I mean, I just I don't. I would not go.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it would take to get me
Speaker 3: to Disneyland ever again, oh my, at this point.
Speaker 6: I'm going, I don't. I wouldn't pay this. I don't
Speaker 6: have any need. The line is part of the find
Speaker 6: if you don't.
Speaker 2: You know, if you don't pay, you spend all day
Speaker 2: in line.
Speaker 7: If you pay, excuse me, no you don't.
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go, all right? Hold on, if Neil
Speaker 2: and me.
Speaker 3: Let Amy King have an absolutely uninterrupted thirty seconds here
Speaker 3: to speak her mind, go listen.
Speaker 2: I don't think this is a great idea.
Speaker 7: I think it's it's excessive, and it is it's just
Speaker 7: for rich people, and I don't agree with this.
Speaker 2: But you can do the.
Speaker 7: Lines and not spend the whole day. You just have
Speaker 7: to watch and be careful and pick your day. And
Speaker 7: like Neil said, it's part of the experience. And if
Speaker 7: you want to spend the thirty or thirty five dollars
Speaker 7: and get the fast pass or the lightning pass or
Speaker 7: whatever the heck they're calling it these days, you can
Speaker 7: do that if you want to spend a little less
Speaker 7: time in the lines, but it's it is part of
Speaker 7: the experience, and you don't spend the whole day in lines.
Speaker 7: I think that you you could, but not if you're
Speaker 7: smart about it.
Speaker 3: You're referring to the Lightning Lane multi pass add on,
Speaker 3: which is only thirty two dollars, and what it allows
Speaker 3: you to do is schedule a time later to come back.
Speaker 3: This just seems like there's so much logistical overhead now
Speaker 3: to go to Disneyland.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that great.
Speaker 3: I mean everybody should see Disneyland or disney World once,
Speaker 3: certainly maybe two three times over the course of your life.
Speaker 2: Yes, but like on a regular basis, is it really
Speaker 2: that great? Yale? Is it worth this? I don't think
Speaker 2: it's worth four hundred dollars.
Speaker 6: If that's your thing, or you're doing it like let's
Speaker 6: say you were sellinglebrating in Kno's birthday, and I'm not
Speaker 6: saying that you go with Kno. I'm saying you're celebrating
Speaker 6: it in spirit and people you like, and you do
Speaker 6: that and it's it's nice. But the lines, now, the
Speaker 6: queues are part of the ride. And I happen to
Speaker 6: really enjoy talking to my wife, so it's like a
Speaker 6: long car ride.
Speaker 2: You just connect, talk to me, stay home and talk
Speaker 2: to her for free. But we do that.
Speaker 6: There's something magical about Disneyland. Though we like just walking around.
Speaker 6: There's sometimes we won't go, and the passes afford you this,
Speaker 6: you're not going, you know. I feel for people to
Speaker 6: just go once a year that feel like they have
Speaker 6: to cram everything in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sucks.
Speaker 6: But if you have a pass, you can just go
Speaker 6: and have dinner there or walk around or you know,
Speaker 6: listen to the music or watch the fireworks or whatever.
Speaker 7: There's a lot to do besides just the rides. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I agree, But I think Neil you said it very well.
Speaker 7: The pass affords you that where you can just go
Speaker 7: walk around. But I think Disneyland's a magical place. It's
Speaker 7: not for everybody.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: That's fine. They're trying to make it so it's not
Speaker 3: for almost anybody. No, it's gonna be all it's gonna
Speaker 3: be all Lamborghinis in the Mickey lot.
Speaker 2: Ooh, it'll be all Lamborghinis. Yeah, that'd be fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're gonna actually you're gonna actually have to pay
Speaker 6: for registration for the cars, probably license and registration and
Speaker 6: all that stuff.
Speaker 2: And then some guy will detail it for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Kamala Harris. She went on Fox News
Speaker 3: and was interviewed by Brett Baer and he, you know,
Speaker 3: he I don't think he was out of line at all,
Speaker 3: but he he was tough and he was firm, and
Speaker 3: he asked some tough questions, and I thought she did
Speaker 3: perfectly well. I think, to me, the interesting angle here
Speaker 3: is what does this say about the thinking of the
Speaker 3: Harris Walls campaign. And they're thinking, as obviously, there are
Speaker 3: some Republicans who normally would vote Republican but could be
Speaker 3: swayed this time to not vote Republican because of who
Speaker 3: the Republican candidate is. So go on Fox News and
Speaker 3: see if you can get somebody in the red rover
Speaker 3: come over. And you're also seeing it in their campaign
Speaker 3: stops where she's showing up with Liz Cheney, she's showing
Speaker 3: up with people who worked in the Trump administration, other
Speaker 3: Republicans who split from Trump. This is now their their
Speaker 3: focus because they don't have to convince almost any Democrat.
Speaker 3: They have to convince the Republicans who aren't sure what
Speaker 3: they should do.
Speaker 7: Well, Jimmy Carter can now go in peace if he
Speaker 7: still chooses. Jimmy Carter, former president, just turned one hundred
Speaker 7: and has now fulfilled an end of life goal of
Speaker 7: voting for Vice President Kamala Harris. His son said, they
Speaker 7: did the vote. It was a good morning for him
Speaker 7: and good for us that he got it done.
Speaker 6: Very nice, nice, I think he installed solar powers on
Speaker 6: his head. That's the only well, that's the only reason
Speaker 6: why he's still alive.
Speaker 2: He is fully solar now, or.
Speaker 3: He lived or he lived a clean life and a
Speaker 3: good life doing good works.
Speaker 6: Made a lot of peanuts, I say, solar all right,
Speaker 6: vote overseas voters now. So there's this ballot process, been
Speaker 6: around for a long time.
Speaker 2: Both parties love it.
Speaker 6: It has its connection here to the US military because
Speaker 6: when they are abroad or they're out of the country
Speaker 6: that they can still be a part of the election. Well,
Speaker 6: now you've got Donald Trump suggesting, and some say without
Speaker 6: any evidence, that the overseas vote is a source of fraud.
Speaker 6: And there's about sixty or six point five million eligible
Speaker 6: American voters living or serving and studying overseas.
Speaker 3: So three states have filed lawsuits and what they want,
Speaker 3: basically is to segregate all of those overseas ballots. Why
Speaker 3: would you specially segregate a certain subgroup of ballots to
Speaker 3: scrutinize them within an inch of your life and depending
Speaker 3: on how the election goes to perhaps declare that they
Speaker 3: should be thrown out. And this which is us enfranchising
Speaker 3: the people who are serving in our military across the world.
Speaker 6: It seems that maybe at one time that might have
Speaker 6: been more of a conservative group of people, but now
Speaker 6: there is evidence that no, it's the group that votes
Speaker 6: abroad tends to be Democrats now and you know, so
Speaker 6: that's gonna be right.
Speaker 3: Years years ago, Republicans would never have dreamed to try
Speaker 3: to to try to invalidate the overseas ballots. But the
Speaker 3: times have changed, and so of the dirty tactics. Liam Payne,
Speaker 3: former member of boyband One Direction, has died. He fell
Speaker 3: out of a window or did in Buenos excuse me?
Speaker 2: Or did he? Oh? Stop it?
Speaker 3: Well you think somebody pushed him out of a window.
Speaker 6: There are We're still jumped.
Speaker 3: Oh oh oh, I see what you're getting at.
Speaker 6: There's accounts of him that he might have been high
Speaker 6: and that he was destroying his room. I know an
Speaker 6: hour before he the incident, he did post something online
Speaker 6: on Snapchat or something.
Speaker 2: I saw it. It didn't look like he was under
Speaker 2: duress or anything. But what you know, the.
Speaker 3: Weird thing about this is so he he even if
Speaker 3: he jumped, he still fell correct.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we found out of the window.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, here, I'm trying trying to get to Amy's point.
Speaker 3: I think primarily so he fell out of the window
Speaker 3: and he's dead, and the cops come, and then the
Speaker 3: cops make a statement. They never mention him. They don't
Speaker 3: say we're talking about him. They just say, oh, so happens.
Speaker 3: We went to the hotel because we got a call
Speaker 3: that there was an aggressive man, possibly under the influence.
Speaker 3: Now why say that if you're not gonna say Liam
Speaker 3: Payne was that man? He the call was either about
Speaker 3: him or it was not about him. If it was
Speaker 3: not about him, you don't have to say anything. And
Speaker 3: if it was about him, if you're gonna say something,
Speaker 3: shouldn't you tell us who you're talking about. So I
Speaker 3: don't know why they did it that way, unless it's like, hey,
Speaker 3: we were called for a guy who is maybe under
Speaker 3: the influence and acting radically wink wink.
Speaker 2: Well maybe they didn't know who he was.
Speaker 6: They weren't called for him, They were called for some
Speaker 6: guy who later turned out to be No, but.
Speaker 3: They would they would know it was the guy who
Speaker 3: jumped or fell out of the window, whether whether they
Speaker 3: knew his identity or not. Don't you be an apologist
Speaker 3: for the Buenos Aires PD Neil.
Speaker 6: I'm just concerned that they're not here to defend themselves.
Speaker 2: They'll be fine. New rules, no way.
Speaker 7: Judge and Georgia has declared that seven new election rules
Speaker 7: recently passed by the state election board are illegal, unconstitutional,
Speaker 7: and void. The rules invalidated by the judge include one
Speaker 7: that requires the number of ballots to be hand counted
Speaker 7: after the close the polls closed, and two that have
Speaker 7: to do with certifying the election results.
Speaker 3: They tried a lot that state election board run by
Speaker 3: Republican and this judge said no to virtually all of it.
Speaker 3: And I like, what did you say? Can say the
Speaker 3: part again about what he declared those laws to.
Speaker 2: Be illegal, unconstitutional, and void.
Speaker 3: So what do these election laws that were overturned have
Speaker 3: in common with showman Nathan Lane?
Speaker 2: They're both triple threats?
Speaker 6: Oh wow, wow.
Speaker 3: I mean anyway, he really the judge really went to
Speaker 3: town because if they're uncon because this is Russian nesting
Speaker 3: dolls of legal status. If you're unconstitutional, then by default
Speaker 3: you're illegal and void. You see what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 3: he could have just said they're unconstitutional, but he really
Speaker 3: wanted to hit.
Speaker 4: All.
Speaker 2: He wanted to really beat him up.
Speaker 6: It's like a preacher that says everything three times, God
Speaker 6: will come down and heal you, take away your.
Speaker 2: Pain, bare your cross. Yes, it's like exactly what it's like.
Speaker 2: I got it. Speaking of a godlike figure.
Speaker 6: Oh boy, well triple threat all right, Elon Musk tech mogul.
Speaker 6: Maybe you've heard of him. World's richest person, kind of
Speaker 6: a guy you might know. Apparently put more than seventy
Speaker 6: million into helping Donald Trump and other Republicans win November's election,
Speaker 6: making him the biggest donor to the GOP causes in
Speaker 6: this campaign season. This particular pack is called America Pack,
Speaker 6: and that, of course is one of those super political
Speaker 6: action committees. And I remember, you know, he says American
Speaker 6: Pack is aiming for common sense, centrist values. That's up
Speaker 6: to you, I suppose, But I remember when they were
Speaker 6: originally saying that he was going to give forty million
Speaker 6: dollars a month or something. So I don't know where
Speaker 6: this number comes from and all of that, but yeah.
Speaker 3: These the ability of some of these people to be
Speaker 3: so impossibly two face. They should be in the DC
Speaker 3: Comics universe with how two face they are. Jd Vance,
Speaker 3: who was talking the smackiest smack about Donald Trump and
Speaker 3: is now his running mate Eon Musk, who used to
Speaker 3: talk about he couldn't wait for Donald Trump to go away,
Speaker 3: and is now spending a bunch of money to help
Speaker 3: him be the president.
Speaker 2: Again. Odd, isn't it. It's not odd, it's money.
Speaker 7: Oh, I bet he'd buy those four hundred dollars Premier
Speaker 7: Lightning line passes.
Speaker 6: Who elon Musk only for Trump and Trump doesn't even
Speaker 6: need him.
Speaker 3: There's a new technology coming to a supermarket near you
Speaker 3: that many people are saying is evil. It's called ESL,
Speaker 3: or Electronic shelving labels. They're basically digital price tags, and many,
Speaker 3: including some people in Congress, are saying this is going
Speaker 3: to lead to dynamic pricing of your groceries and discriminatory
Speaker 3: price gouging because these digital tags also have facial recognition,
Speaker 3: so you walk up to the mayonnaise and it can
Speaker 3: see your face and it can change the price if
Speaker 3: it wants to. Now, these are coming to Kroger now,
Speaker 3: so that would mean rouse probably. I don't know if
Speaker 3: Kroger trickles down all of their ideas to all of
Speaker 3: their subsidiary names, but around here that would be a rouse.
Speaker 2: For example, they say.
Speaker 3: What it allows them to do is, let's say they
Speaker 3: put something on sale.
Speaker 2: They don't have to send a guy around to do it.
Speaker 3: They can just go, oh, the mayonnaise is now fifty
Speaker 3: cents off.
Speaker 2: Boom, now it's on the tag. See.
Speaker 3: It's just like when Wendy's was taught about their digital
Speaker 3: menu signs and and dynamic pricing. I don't think they
Speaker 3: ever said dynamic pricing, and Kroger is not saying the
Speaker 3: phrase dynamic pricing, and people, well it went crazy and
Speaker 3: Wendy's Wendy said, we would never use it to raise
Speaker 3: the price of anything. It allows us to push deals
Speaker 3: through immediately. And I'm I'm hoping that's Kroger's idea as well.
Speaker 3: Dynamic pricing only in the sense that maybe there's something
Speaker 3: we want to really highlight, or maybe we have.
Speaker 2: Too much and we want to facial facial recognition part, well.
Speaker 3: That's the part I don't unless it's going to be
Speaker 3: tied into your loyalty account and they'll know it's you.
Speaker 2: And they'll know if you've bought it before.
Speaker 7: Like when I go to my Pavilions app, it says,
Speaker 7: here's items that you like and have bought before, and
Speaker 7: then they show me if there's if they're on special,
Speaker 7: so maybe it'll go bring that one's on.
Speaker 2: Sale, or maybe they make it on just for you
Speaker 2: as a perk.
Speaker 3: Right now, this is us ascribing only the best intentions here.
Speaker 3: I'm not naive at all. And you know, Cono, the
Speaker 3: bump you played coming in is not about the money.
Speaker 3: I believe it's absolutely about the money. But I'm not
Speaker 3: sure that even a big corporation as greedy as they are,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure they would put a system in place
Speaker 3: to say, oh, there's a black shopper, raise the price
Speaker 3: of the cereal.
Speaker 2: So I'll have to see it when it rolls out.
Speaker 3: I guess when it rolls out, we'll see what it
Speaker 3: does and how it works. And hey, public sentiment shut
Speaker 3: down Wendy's plan, So if this is actually bad in
Speaker 3: any way, public sentiment I assume will shut it down.
Speaker 7: So at this point, though, Wayne, if I'm understanding, they're
Speaker 7: Kruger's not doing this. They're not doing price gouging. The
Speaker 7: lawmakers are basically wanting to pass a preemptive law.
Speaker 3: Yes, the lawmakers like Rashida Khalieb, they're assuming the worst.
Speaker 3: We trying here to assume the best. She and other
Speaker 3: lawmakers they're assuming the worst. And this is where we
Speaker 3: are with technology. Every time there's a new technology there
Speaker 3: And I'm not even criticizing these people.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, there's a.
Speaker 3: Group of people who immediately look at what's the worst
Speaker 3: thing they could do with it? What's the most evil
Speaker 3: thing that could be done with this technology. Probably should
Speaker 3: be grateful to them for, you know, pointing out the
Speaker 3: possible caveats.
Speaker 2: But I don't want to amy. I don't want to
Speaker 2: be a pill about it. Oh okay.
Speaker 7: Three states are pushing the envelope when it comes to pills.
Speaker 7: Four months after the Supreme Court tossed out a high
Speaker 7: profile challenge to the abortion drug mif at pristone, Missouri, Kansas,
Speaker 7: and Idaho have filed in an amended lawsuit in federal
Speaker 7: court in Texas a US District judge to roll back
Speaker 7: the efforts of the FDA over the past eight years
Speaker 7: to ease access to the drug, things like allowing it
Speaker 7: to be dispensed through the mail.
Speaker 2: How do they do that? Didn't the Supreme Court already
Speaker 2: decide this? Well?
Speaker 3: What happened is the Supreme Court threw it out because
Speaker 3: they said the people who were suing had no standing.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, which means they never got into the merits
Speaker 3: of any of the claims. Now to the state, the
Speaker 3: States are going to make a case that they have standing,
Speaker 3: and then you're going to have to deal with what
Speaker 3: we want you to look at.
Speaker 2: We'll see how that.
Speaker 3: Of course, you know, they started with the most reliably
Speaker 3: maga level conservative federal judge in the country. They went
Speaker 3: right to that guy, Matthew Kasmeric, who you can count
Speaker 3: on him to rule your way, which doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 3: anything as the case moves through the appeals process. Oh,
Speaker 3: we brought out the big guns literally.
Speaker 2: Indeed we did.
Speaker 6: The United States carried out a round of strikes and
Speaker 6: Yemen against the I ran back to Hoothy's just yesterday
Speaker 6: evening and they brought out the B two bombers, stealth
Speaker 6: bombers coming out hitting facilities housed these military targets. These
Speaker 6: were some of the weapons that were used to target
Speaker 6: military and civilian vessels in the Red Sea and the
Speaker 6: Gulf of Aiden.
Speaker 2: And they hit hard, hit fast, hit heavy well.
Speaker 3: Because the Hoothis have been a real pain in the
Speaker 3: you know what, over there targeting commercial ships like that.
Speaker 3: It's not even that they're engaging in war against other
Speaker 3: military entities. You know, they're shooting. They're shooting at commercial
Speaker 3: ships and stuff, and so the US has said, we
Speaker 3: don't really want that happening. Up until now, they have
Speaker 3: not used the Bee Too, which is a much bigger
Speaker 3: jet than what they've been using. And guess what that means, bigger,
Speaker 3: heavier bombs. Hoo, hooty, goodbye, don't cry. Oh that reminds
Speaker 3: me of that band that we've dropped these big bombs
Speaker 3: over there, hooty and the blow.
Speaker 2: Ups and thank you.
Speaker 3: And gives me the big grin that I so dist
Speaker 3: Thank you, Anne.
Speaker 2: The rest of you could go eat a worm.
Speaker 6: I hope mayonnaise goes up when you walk into the Kroger.
Speaker 2: What if they did go what if they did that?
Speaker 7: They went, oh, you've had a little too much mayo,
Speaker 7: and we're going to double the price for you.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they put veggies on sale when I walk in,
Speaker 6: all salad.
Speaker 3: Anybody trying to encourage you great the digital price tags
