WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.839 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:05.759 six forty. 3 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.960 And this is KFI AM six forty handle. Here it 4 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.519 is a footy Friday, October. 5 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.600 Fourth, going back to nineteen eighty nine. 6 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.199 Anybody who was around is going to remember this, unless 7 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.239 you were born in nineteen eighty eight, then you're probably 8 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:22.600 not going. 9 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.160 To remember this. 10 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.440 This was the Menendez brothers the trial thirty years back. 11 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.920 Eric and Lyle Menendez killed their parents. Boy, it was 12 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.520 a case that literally was covered all over the country. 13 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.840 It's just one of those big ones. So they were 14 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.159 accused of killing their parents. 15 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:41.320 They did. They killed their parents. 16 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.439 That doesn't seem to be that big of an issue 17 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.079 except for them, of course. They got life imprisonment without 18 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:49.240 possibility to parole. 19 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.520 They got l lot for that one. 20 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:58.359 They argued that the elder Menendez Jose, their dad, abused them, sexually, 21 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.600 abused them, and threatened them and threatened to kill them 22 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.159 if they said anything about the abuse. And the first trial, 23 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.239 by the way, that was sort of brought up and 24 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.599 the jury was hung, so that means a second trial. 25 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.840 Most of that evidence was not brought up in the 26 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.760 second trial. The abuse argument was not really brought up 27 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.920 and they were then convicted and were sentenced to life imprisonment. Well, 28 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.319 there is a Peacock documentary that is out there and 29 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:35.200 it's called Menendez plus Menudo Boys Betrayed. And what it 30 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:40.239 does is in terms of pushing the scenario that why Neil, 31 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.079 it's Menendez plus Menudo? 32 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.359 No, what does Minudo have to do with it? 33 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:56.040 Okay, here we go, because the pop band Minudo ah 34 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:01.879 was created by a guy who is now being accused 35 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.519 of bringing one of the young Minudo boys to Jose 36 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.039 Menendez's home. 37 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.240 The kid was raped on. 38 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.520 Now you get it. Yeah, there you go, Menanda. 39 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:15.520 It's not the name of a dish. 40 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.159 You know. There's normal Manudo and then there's Menendez Manunda Menudo. 41 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:19.400 No. 42 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.360 See, that's why he does Foody Friday. This is why 43 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.560 we love Neil so much. In any case, there's that 44 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.879 Peacock docu series and it raises all kinds of allegations 45 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.319 that Jose Menendez dad assaulted a former member of the 46 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.120 nineteen eighties pop band Menudo, and that the head of 47 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.199 the Menudos, the guy who created him, brings this kid 48 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.159 to Jose Menendez who then rapes and drugs this kid 49 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.240 when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and this 50 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.759 guy Roy Rosello said that's exactly what happened, and suggested 51 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.520 the whole thing was to seal a deal between the 52 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.719 band and RCA Records, which Jose Menendez was a big hauncho. 53 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.039 He was an executive. So it makes sense. 54 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.080 Now they're saying Gascon is saying, we really have to 55 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.960 take a look at this, and he's thinking about either 56 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:17.319 asking for a new trial or I mean they're talking about, 57 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.800 you know, letting him go. Of course that's crazy, but 58 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.879 because you know, gascoll And said, yeah, they did it. 59 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.039 But here's the defense is there are unique self defense 60 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.159 and real self defense is if your life is in 61 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:30.120 danger at that moment. 62 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.639 So that's not gonna fly. But this is a. 63 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.159 Mitigation, you know, if the jury is saying, wait a minute, 64 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.560 there really was a lot of abuse here. It's not 65 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.400 quite the same as blowing your parents' heads off for 66 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:42.639 just money. 67 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:44.560 And that's that was the original argument. 68 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.280 The Kyle that the two Menendez boys, Eric and Lyle, 69 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.280 all they were interested was money. And by the way, 70 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.000 after the parents were killed, they bought themselves Rolex watches 71 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.120 and they were happy campers there wasn't a lot of 72 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.240 remorse or they weren't too unhappy that mom and dad 73 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.759 were killed. By the way, mom and dad were in 74 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.560 the house watching a movie when the boys came up 75 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.439 with a shotgun, blew Jose's head off, and then shot 76 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.279 the mother who was crawling along the floor, and killed her. 77 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.959 With another shotgun blast. Nice case. 78 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.839 In any case, here's what's happening, is this information came 79 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:31.199 up and there is a letter that's supposedly written by 80 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.879 I think it was Eric, eight months before the murder, 81 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.120 in which he talked about the abuse of his father 82 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:40.959 and that he was being threatened by his. 83 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.240 Dad, which I'm surprised they didn't come up in the trial. 84 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:48.879 But at this point it was just found. So the defense, 85 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.199 just the attorneys for the Menendez just happened to find it. 86 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:53.920 And there's some logic to it. You know, it was 87 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.240 held by I think grandmother or something until she died. 88 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.279 So in any case, here's George Gascon looking at this 89 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.720 and going, wow, we have new evidence. Now I happen 90 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.920 to be a fan of if you really have new evidence, 91 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.279 you open this thing up. You know a lot of 92 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.399 times when they have DNA that now basically proves someone 93 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.920 was not there. Do you know that prosecutors and judges 94 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.199 appella judges will say too late, too bad, you didn't 95 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.439 bring it up in time, But I have. 96 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.360 Proof that we didn't. He didn't do it, doesn't matter. 97 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.839 You have time limits here, and so we'll see what 98 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:35.199 happens with the DA. Now, Gascone, Well, he's certainly not 99 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.279 going to say. I don't think he's going to say, 100 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.000 let's retry him, because everybody knows. I mean, there was 101 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.839 no issue. Their defense was not they didn't do it. 102 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.879 Their defense was that it was self defense. And so 103 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.560 is he going to ask for a re sentencing hearing 104 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.279 where a judge can lower it to let's say, life 105 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.480 imprisonment with the possibility of parole. Well, they've been in 106 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:02.879 jail for thirty years and they've been model prisoners, and 107 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.519 they've done everything that is being asked. 108 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.920 Of them, and they were helping other prisoners, you know, 109 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:07.720 the normal crap. 110 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.319 You know, we're helping other prisoners, you know, we you know, 111 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.399 we found God and we're sort of chaplains and helping 112 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.839 everybody with you know, their views on life and making 113 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.279 them making life easier for their prisoners with a religious bent. 114 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.040 That typically happens. So I wonder where George. 115 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.040 Gascone is going to go to this. Now would I 116 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:31.680 look at this? 117 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.519 I put myself in the shoes, and I'm not a 118 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:34.839 big gas goone fan, and. 119 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.439 I consider myself, yeah, you know pretty. 120 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.560 I would say conservative when it comes to crime and sentencing, 121 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:43.000 et cetera. 122 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.079 But I would look at it. 123 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.079 I would look at it because if it was legitimate 124 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:52.120 self defense, not self defense at that moment, but the 125 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.439 abuse and the rapes and the threats about the rapes 126 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.399 from Dad were part of it, I wouldn't give them 127 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.600 life in prison without possibility of parole. I would look 128 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.639 at parole thirty years later. So we'll see what the 129 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.720 DA does. We'll see what to see. Now, guess what 130 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.720 A book is about to be published by Milania Trump, 131 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.079 and we're talking next Tuesday. 132 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.439 It's going to be published. 133 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.480 And it turns out that she is a passionate supporter 134 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.959 of a woman's right to control her own body. And 135 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.600 I mean not just she's pro choice. She is pro 136 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.319 choice with a capital P. And here's what she writes 137 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:44.079 in this memoir quote, it is imperative to guarantee that 138 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.959 women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having children 139 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.959 based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or 140 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:53.079 pressure from the government. 141 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.279 No room for compromise. 142 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.759 Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the 143 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.160 power to determine what she does with her own body. 144 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.360 A woman's fundamental right of individual liberty to her own 145 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.839 life grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if 146 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.879 she wishes. 147 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:12.199 And there's more. 148 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.759 Restricting a woman's right to choose whether to terminate an 149 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.240 unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over 150 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.240 her own body. I have carried this belief with me 151 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.759 throughout my entire life. 152 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.560 Now, this GE's kind of interesting, to say the least. 153 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.920 And by the way, I think Donald Trump handled this 154 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.480 very well when he was asked about this. 155 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.240 I mean, there really is only one answer, and that 156 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:38.039 he gave it and. 157 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.919 Is the appropriate to answer. And that is real simple. 158 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.679 She has her own opinions. I'm never going to tell 159 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.879 her what to do, and if it's contrary to my opinion, 160 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:52.120 so be it. What is interesting about this book is 161 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.000 that this is a woman who does not like publicity. 162 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.440 She is one of the shyest in terms of not 163 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.000 being a public figure of any first lady that I 164 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.720 remember maybe Laura Bush. 165 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:06.799 No, not even no. 166 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.559 No, she's beyond Laura Bush in terms of privacy. And 167 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.919 for her to come out with this strength with her 168 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:20.360 pro choice philosophy, first of all, is in direct contradiction 169 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.360 of most of the Republican or a good part of 170 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.960 the Republican Party. And she is I don't know if 171 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.720 the ads are going to be in terms of those 172 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:34.639 states where reproductive rights are in question. She also there 173 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.240 was a post did on social media. I don't know 174 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.399 what platform it is, and she talks about this right out. 175 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:49.480 She looks at the camera and says she is pro abortion. Now. 176 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.480 Her husband, Donald Trump, as we know, is sort of 177 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.559 taking both sides of it. First of all, he talks 178 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:59.480 about how proud he is of selecting those three Supreme 179 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.000 Court judges. 180 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.159 Is that killed Roe v. Wade? I told you I 181 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:03.840 was going to do it. I did it. 182 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.399 And at the same time, because of the backlash and 183 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.679 there's tons of it from women about reproductive rights, he's 184 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.799 backed up and said, no, no, I wanted to leave 185 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.320 it to the states. I didn't want to kill abortion. 186 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.840 I just wanted to leave it to the states, which, yeah, 187 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.480 I don't know you know, that's kind of wish you 188 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.639 why she But that's a presidential candidate. You have to 189 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.399 pander to everybody, and he is. And it's not as 190 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.480 if Kamala Harris is not pandering either. But it's kind 191 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.480 of interesting that Milania Trump came out this strongly. Also, 192 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:38.960 she disagrees with Donald Trump on aspects of immigration policy. 193 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:41.200 She is an immigrant. 194 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:48.960 She comes from somewhere in Eastern Europe, Czechoslovakia or whatever 195 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.440 country she comes from, and became a US citizen. 196 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.679 And I saw she is clearly legal. 197 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.759 She got a green card like everybody else got a 198 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.679 green card, become a US citizen. And so this is 199 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.559 an American speaking. But when you come from another country 200 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:12.000 and you adopt this country, and that's exactly what my 201 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.919 parents did, and that's exactly how I view it, you 202 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:21.639 think differently about immigration now, I don't. 203 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.600 I don't think I think you got to be legal. 204 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:24.480 It's that simple. 205 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.120 I'm not a big fan of those people that come 206 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.240 over here illegally, but that is you know, I've talked 207 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.080 about it. You know where I stand on this, and 208 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.840 we've had discussions about this and their story after story. 209 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.639 The interesting one is Malania Trump coming out this strongly, 210 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.480 and I mean really strongly in favor of reproductive rights. 211 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.000 And then one of the things I have always said, 212 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.799 with the exception for rape and incests, which most of 213 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.759 those that are pro that are pro life say, I 214 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.840 have to tell you, I don't get it. If life 215 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.919 is sacrisanct, why is it any sacrissainct if rape happens 216 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:07.200 or incest happens. Now, obviously the girl gets raped, and 217 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.039 sometimes down to fourteen years old or fifteen years old, 218 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.720 of course she's going to be devastated. 219 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.639 Of course her life. 220 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:15.960 Is going to take a turn, and she'd probably have 221 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:17.879 to deal with for the rest of her life. But 222 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.840 if life is sacrisanct, why is it less sacrissaninct under 223 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.679 these conditions. Now it's easy for me because I'm about 224 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.759 as pro abortion as you can get, so I don't 225 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.399 have a problem in arguing that a woman has the 226 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.919 absolute right to make a decision about her body. But 227 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.720 there is a very interesting dilemma going on amongst the 228 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.600 pro life crowd where the number of people who say, 229 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:47.720 oh yeah, no exception for rape or insect herschel Walker 230 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:49.000 got in a lot of trouble for that. 231 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.120 I got to tell you. 232 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.639 These are the people that I don't think I have 233 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.639 a dilemma, a moral dilemma at all, as I don't 234 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.679 have a moral dilemma in being pro choice. So it's 235 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.799 interesting dichotomy. What's going on. Oh and there's also a 236 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.440 story that she wanted a quarter of a million dollars 237 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.720 to do an interview on CNN, and that's coming out, 238 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.519 and I don't know how much of it that's true. 239 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.120 It's like she needs a quarter of a million dollars. Yeah, 240 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.240 I don't think so. Okay, Now, a story about overrides 241 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:26.679 and overrides of a decision that the governor makes in California. 242 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.200 Now, there's a supermajority. 243 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.039 In this state, which means that if you have two 244 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.639 thirds of both houses, that can be any governor signing 245 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:39.720 any veto can be overridden with two thirds majority. I mean, 246 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.240 that's easy. If in this the legislature passes a bill 247 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.480 and in one case, I'm talking about a bill that 248 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.480 was seventy zero in the Assembly and only two in 249 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.840 thirty eight two. 250 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:56.320 In the Senate. 251 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.639 You think that's enough to override the veto? 252 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.720 It wasn't. Veto was not overridden. 253 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.639 You know, in the last time a governor's a governor's 254 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:13.080 veto was overridden in California. Nineteen seventy nine was the 255 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.039 last time there was a veto overridden. Why would that happen? 256 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.200 You have a state legislature, Senate, and the Assembly that 257 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.000 passes almost unanimously a bill. 258 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.919 And the governor goes no vetoing it. 259 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.360 You think they would override it. Nope, they don't. Now 260 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:38.039 is the governor that powerful? Yeah? Taking a page out 261 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:43.600 of Donald Trump's power in the Republican Party. No one 262 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.919 in California is willing to take a chance, No legislatoror 263 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.080 is willing to take a chance of overriding a governor's veto. 264 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:55.720 And you wonder why, Well, it's a modern day version. 265 00:14:55.759 --> 00:15:01.360 And this is according to a politics professor University of California, Berkeley, 266 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.879 it's the modern day version of if you come after 267 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:09.080 the King, you'd better not miss. So Monday was the 268 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.039 deadline for the governor to act on twelve hundred bills 269 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.919 that the legislature sent to his desk, and he either 270 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:22.879 signs them or he vetoes them, and he vetoed about 271 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.240 almost sixteen percent of the total bills pass That's a 272 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.200 lot of veto and for different reasons. 273 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:28.919 He vetoed it. 274 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.799 And by the way, the governor also signs a veto 275 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.879 message when he vetos it. 276 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.279 Usually there's a veto. 277 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.879 Messays explaining why and he did it for different reasons. 278 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.159 According to those messages, thirty percent. 279 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:47.440 Due to budget concerns too much money, twenty seven percent 280 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.159 due to disagreements over policy. Now we disagree on policy, 281 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.279 another twenty two because they were unnecessary or stepped on 282 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.919 the toes of other state agencies or local governments. 283 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:00.399 There was a content flicked. 284 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:04.480 That's what happened to me when I was involved in 285 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:09.600 writing a surrogacy bill in the mid eighties, and I 286 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.360 got both And this was a lot of politics. There 287 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.200 were a lot of It's not me. I just happened 288 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:15.759 to be involved in writing the bill. There were a 289 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.360 lot of reproductive people involved, and there were a lot 290 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.519 of labs IVF labs that were part of it. And 291 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:27.279 we got it passed and the governor vetoed it, and 292 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.039 his reason was, no, there really isn't an issue here. 293 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.120 Faing broke, don't fix it. No one's ever been nailed 294 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.159 on this issue. And it had to do with the 295 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.519 upholding of a surrogacy conentre, He goes, you know what, 296 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.919 it's no big deal, I'm vetoing it. It took the 297 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.879 California's Supreme Court to establish the law. But the point 298 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.799 is that was part of the veto message, and in 299 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.159 that case it was pretty close that. 300 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:53.759 It would never have been overridden. 301 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.559 But can you imagine a bill that literally you're talking 302 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:04.519 one hundred percent of the Assembly, ninety five percent of 303 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:09.640 the Senate, and they won't override it. There is there 304 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:14.119 isn't even a motion to override. Does the governor have 305 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:20.000 that much power where if the legislature overrides his veto? 306 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:22.200 Apparently yes. 307 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.240 We look at the power of Donald Trump over the 308 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:31.440 Republican Party, which is enormous. You don't go if you're 309 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:36.240 a Republican, you don't go against former President Trump. Looks 310 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.680 like the same thing is happening in California. 311 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:39.880 You don't. 312 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:45.440 A legislator does not go against what the governor wants. Now, 313 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.279 the governor says, there are three governor's office, there are 314 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.079 three branches of government, and if the legislature disagrees with 315 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:57.319 what the executive branch read the governor does, well that's 316 00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:58.119 their prerogative. 317 00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:59.960 It turns out there really isn't a prerogative. 318 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.480 Turns out you don't take a chance because it looks 319 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.400 like a governor has that much power and can simply. 320 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.039 Say that guy is out. 321 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.440 Even to the point where Scott Wiener, probably i would say, 322 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.880 the most liberal senator out there, introduced a bill to 323 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:26.680 reduce drug costs and Newsom overrode that, or Newsom vetoed it. 324 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:32.960 Why because there it wasn't powerful enough. Therefore, I'm going 325 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.119 to veto this. We need more information. Really, you ever 326 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:42.920 heard of something called first steps? So Wiener said, this 327 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:49.559 is a bad veto. I disagree. The citizens of California 328 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.640 must be protected against big pharma and these ridiculous drug costs. 329 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:59.160 And so he said, outright, bad, bad boy. You shouldn't 330 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:05.480 have vetoed it. Does he move for an override? No, 331 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.160 no he doesn't. He didn't have the balls to do 332 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.720 that or the hashim to do that. 333 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:17.160 All right, So much for that. 334 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.799 All right, I'm looking at my phone and I've got 335 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:27.880 how many, yeah, maybe two dozen apps on my phone, 336 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.519 maybe a little more, and that's nothing. 337 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:35.119 How many apps do you have on your phone? Neil, Oh, 338 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:40.079 don't even get me started. Amy. How many apps? 339 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:40.839 Yeah? 340 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.920 Like ten? Pages of them? 341 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.680 Ten pages? All right? And how many apps? Same thing? 342 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:52.240 About about six pages? And cono, can you afford a phone? Yes? Okay? 343 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.279 And how many how many apps do you have? Oh? 344 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.440 Good for you countered him? Okay, so I have the fewest. 345 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.000 Because I have the fewest. There's a few that I 346 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.359 don't even know I had. 347 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:07.720 And I have no idea. I have a fitness app. 348 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:13.319 Oh god, you think I look at that one. No, 349 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.319 so I've got a few shortcuts. I don't even know 350 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.960 what that app is. Nord passed, no idea what that? 351 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.759 What that is? 352 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.200 The rest of them? Are you know? Pretty good? Monarch? 353 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:27.240 What the hell is monarch? 354 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:28.279 No? 355 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.519 Yes, it is, thank you. I have no idea what 356 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.200 that app is. 357 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.200 The point is we are apped to death, to the 358 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.240 point where how many apps are there? The last time 359 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.119 I think that, I remember Apple came out with account 360 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.440 of apps, it was four hundred thousand. Now i'm and 361 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.440 that was years ago. Now I'm assuming it's in the millions. 362 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:54.839 And think of how pervasive. Okay, of course Apple McDonald's 363 00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.839 has one, but Duncan has one, Every chain restaurant has one. 364 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:03.759 Every food delivery service Uber eats, all of them. Home 365 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.799 depot loads, Target, Ikia, Walmart, Whole Foods. 366 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.559 How about paying. 367 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:16.000 For products and services on your app? Venmo, cash app, PayPal, 368 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.440 I mean, just as Zell. Now you can track your 369 00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:24.160 mental health and find out how mentally ill you are. 370 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:27.119 Because you have so many apps. There's an app for 371 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:33.279 that New York you can scan the subway. An app 372 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.240 tells you which lines are out of service.
