Speaker 1: You're listening to kf I AM six forty. The Bill
Speaker 1: handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio f.
Speaker 2: Now, first hundred days.
Speaker 1: I think today is the first of the first hundred days,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. And what ends up happening with
Speaker 1: every president for some reason, the first hundred days is
Speaker 1: some kind of bell weather as to where the presidency
Speaker 1: is going. This actually came out of FDR Franklin Roosevelt,
Speaker 1: of which Donald Trump has compared himself, both positively and
Speaker 1: negatively several times, sort of bounces back and forth on this.
Speaker 1: What FDR did in the first hundred days was change America,
Speaker 1: just up ended America. Donald Trump much the same thing,
Speaker 1: has revolutionized the way Americans look at each other.
Speaker 2: The way we look at the world. Some differences, yeah,
Speaker 2: pretty much.
Speaker 1: Starting with FDR Franklin Roosevelt comes into the presidency in
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty two, at the beginning, well into the Great Depression.
Speaker 1: It was one of the worst episodes in the history
Speaker 1: of this country. The entire economic system that we had
Speaker 1: fell apart.
Speaker 2: The stock market plunged. That was Black Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I mean, we went into a ten year or at
Speaker 1: least an eight year depression.
Speaker 2: That caused so much misery.
Speaker 1: So Herbert Hoover, the previous president, just kept on saying,
Speaker 1: this is just a blip.
Speaker 2: It's not going to be a problem. We're going to
Speaker 2: come back.
Speaker 1: As more and more people were losing their jobs, as
Speaker 1: more and more people were losing their homes, their farms,
Speaker 1: as they started to starve, it's not that complicated. And
Speaker 1: so FDR comes in and he starts passing legislation, and
Speaker 1: I mean immediately things like the National Recovery Act and
Speaker 1: the NRA and then the Civilian Conservation Corps. And then
Speaker 1: it comes in in nineteen thirty five.
Speaker 2: With Social Security, just changes everything.
Speaker 1: And the difference is here was a president who had
Speaker 1: wild support, not nearly as of polarized, because keep in mind,
Speaker 1: he came into a Congress that was not particularly in
Speaker 1: favor of him. An FDR had overwhelming bipartisan support. And
Speaker 1: whether you agree or not, and yes, a lot of
Speaker 1: socialism came in.
Speaker 2: What is medicare if not socialism?
Speaker 1: Then what happened was Congress was just totally in favor
Speaker 1: of him. He passed those bills with Congress, and he
Speaker 1: drafted the legislation with Congress in mind.
Speaker 2: Now, what Trump is doing.
Speaker 1: Is it's all executive order because he's not going to
Speaker 1: be able to get Congress to agree on this stuff.
Speaker 1: So it's all then by executive order, which did not
Speaker 1: happen in FDRs, in FDR's era. And the difference is
Speaker 1: DR inherited a calamity of gargantuan's proportions, even as President
Speaker 1: Trump says he inherited the worst economy in the history
Speaker 1: of the United States. The most the decay, our decay,
Speaker 1: in morals, our decay, and how we function as a country.
Speaker 1: He is coming back and saving us from ourselves, actually
Speaker 1: saving us from the Biden administration, saving us from the Liberals,
Speaker 1: saving us.
Speaker 2: From the previous congresses.
Speaker 1: He is going to knock inflation down because inflation is
Speaker 1: out of control. Well not really, and of course all
Speaker 1: the day ones, day one, I'm going to do this,
Speaker 1: and it didn't happen.
Speaker 2: It didn't happen.
Speaker 1: And so the difference is that President Trump has taken
Speaker 1: a country.
Speaker 2: That was in relatively good shape, at least financially.
Speaker 1: You can argue about the moral decay one way or
Speaker 1: the other. That's a value judgment, but you can't argue facts.
Speaker 1: You can't argue that the economy the day he took
Speaker 1: it over was in good shap. Unemployment was down to
Speaker 1: four percent, We had inflation that was under control by
Speaker 1: the time he took office. Immigration it's a different issue now.
Speaker 1: Do I believe that immigration is the most important thing
Speaker 1: in our country right now?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I have any illegal aliens, any illegal migrants taken my job?
Speaker 2: No? Have they taken your job?
Speaker 1: No? Is there an invasion. You can argue yes or
Speaker 1: no about that. I think that's up for argument. But
Speaker 1: as far as it's destroying our country, yeah, I got
Speaker 1: other things to think about DEI destroying our country, wiping
Speaker 1: it out.
Speaker 2: I got other things to talk about. Wokeness.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not happy with woke But is that
Speaker 1: more important than, for example, where the economy is going.
Speaker 2: That's important to me.
Speaker 1: And then this issue of tariffs, the immigration issue is
Speaker 1: getting more attention now than Terra's for the last few days.
Speaker 1: Tariffs are going to cost you your job. It's costing
Speaker 1: me my business because my partner and I import from
Speaker 1: China and the cookwaar we import is made out of
Speaker 1: aluminum or stainless steel, and so we're looking at one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five percent tariff plus the twenty five
Speaker 1: percent tariff on top of that for the stainless steel.
Speaker 1: So we have goods coming in from China. They're on
Speaker 1: a ship right now coming in. I got a container
Speaker 1: full of this cookware. For every one hundred dollars worth
Speaker 1: of goods that we're buying, we have to write a
Speaker 1: check to the government for another one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: five dollars.
Speaker 2: Keep on doing that. We're done.
Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands of businesses are done, finished, And wait
Speaker 1: till that really hits home. If this tariff war continues,
Speaker 1: That to me is a lot more important than the
Speaker 1: immigration issue.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's not wonderful.
Speaker 1: I get it, and I give kudos to Trump to
Speaker 1: shutting down the border. No one's getting in, that's for sure,
Speaker 1: and there's an argument to be said that that is
Speaker 1: where we should go, because we just don't have room
Speaker 1: anymore for all the people that want to come in
Speaker 1: the United States, and for those people that say we
Speaker 1: have to house these people, we have to allow them in.
Speaker 1: We are a country of immigrants. We were a country
Speaker 1: of immigrants. We are no longer a country of immigrants.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, certainly the progeny of what came in.
Speaker 1: We are, that's who we are.
Speaker 2: But there's no room anymore. There's no economy for millions
Speaker 2: of people coming in over the border.
Speaker 1: So to his credit, shutting down is I think legitimate
Speaker 1: the way he's doing it. I'm not thrilled about the
Speaker 1: way deportations are happening without due process. Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not thrilled about that. And the big problem is even
Speaker 1: those people that agree with what Donald Trump is doing,
Speaker 1: and now look at his approval level, which is now
Speaker 1: dropping like a rock. Even those who agree with him
Speaker 1: think that he is taking too broad a brush here,
Speaker 1: moving too quickly, doing too much in too little time.
Speaker 1: So as you here compare himself to FDR. FDR came
Speaker 1: in at one of the worst times in the history
Speaker 1: of this country and literally saved millions of people from starving.
Speaker 1: That is not what's happening here. Okay, coming up, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what is happening here. We have a little
Speaker 1: bit of an issue with conflict of interest between Elon
Speaker 1: Musk and the United States government. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: two people who don't think it's a conflict. One is
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. The other one, yeah, you guess we'll be
Speaker 1: back with that.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from K six forty.
Speaker 1: On a Taco Tuesday, April twenty nine. Some of the
Speaker 1: stories we are looking at. The president has been the
Speaker 1: president for one hundred days. First hundred days is up,
Speaker 1: which is sort of an arbitrary line in the sand
Speaker 1: kind of date, but it goes back to FDR's first
Speaker 1: hundred dates. And I just did a segment on what
Speaker 1: it actually means, certainly in my life in my opinion.
Speaker 2: So that's up.
Speaker 1: You listen to that on demand. And then today La
Speaker 1: County the workers are on strike, fifty five thousand of them,
Speaker 1: and so and you've got and as I said earlier,
Speaker 1: and this is a good news in one sense is
Speaker 1: if you're going to a county hospital and you're waiting
Speaker 1: for the er, you'll never be able to tell that
Speaker 1: there's nobody there helping anybody, because you're sitting there, whether
Speaker 1: they are or aren't. Now, conflict of interests, it used.
Speaker 2: To be that way.
Speaker 1: Anybody he had anything to do with the government and
Speaker 1: was a business person. The separation had to be virtually complete.
Speaker 1: For example, who was it Ruben? Who was its secretary?
Speaker 1: The Treasure's Secretary of the Treasury Department I think was
Speaker 1: under George Bush. Very wealthy guy, immediately put everything he
Speaker 1: had into a blind trust, a lot of money. He
Speaker 1: wasn't going to touch it. I mean, that is the
Speaker 1: way it goes. The presidents have done that. Those who
Speaker 1: have an enormous amount of money or those that are
Speaker 1: reasonably wealthy blind trust. You know, no conflict. Well, let
Speaker 1: me tell you about this administration and conflict.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you about Elon Musk, because that's really
Speaker 2: the story.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk has a very high position and head of
Speaker 1: DOGE this new department. At the same time he has
Speaker 1: companies that do a tremendous amount of business with the
Speaker 1: federal government, and and that spells conflict.
Speaker 2: But in this day and age, there's no conflict.
Speaker 1: President Trump by far the wealthiest president we have ever had.
Speaker 1: If it were anybody else, everything he owned in blind
Speaker 1: trust not have any idea of how the money was
Speaker 1: invested and not invested in, and what normally happens when
Speaker 1: it goes into a blind trust.
Speaker 2: The trustee does nothing. The money either doesn't grow or
Speaker 2: it even.
Speaker 1: Decreases a little bit because the trustee is there just
Speaker 1: to hold on to the assets. Well, there's no blind
Speaker 1: trust here with the president doesn't exist. The president still
Speaker 1: owns everything. His children are running it. Now do they
Speaker 1: talk to him about it?
Speaker 2: Who the hell knows?
Speaker 1: I would argue that they probably do, because he's the
Speaker 1: brains behind the money, behind the Trump. So Elon Musk
Speaker 1: is on a level conflict that we have rarely seen.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and his companies right now in terms of
Speaker 1: the conflict of insts, some absolute that have been proven,
Speaker 1: some have been accused of two point three seven billion
Speaker 1: dollars in fines and penalties.
Speaker 2: That was the day that Donald Trump took office.
Speaker 1: Forty three page memo issued by the Minority staff of
Speaker 1: the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation, led by Senator Richard Blumenthal,
Speaker 1: Democrat out of Connecticut. Keep in mind this was the
Speaker 1: minority report. This was the Democratic report that came out
Speaker 1: says that this is well. The memo found that as
Speaker 1: of January twentieth, the dated President Trump took office, Musk
Speaker 1: and his companies were subject to at least sixty five actual,
Speaker 1: ongoing or potential actions by eleven different federal agencies. Forty
Speaker 1: of those created two point three seven billion dollars.
Speaker 2: In potential liabilities.
Speaker 1: Now, as far as the Trump administration and the Republicans
Speaker 1: that there is no conflict.
Speaker 2: You know why there's no conflict because Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: Says there's no conflict, and President Trump says there's no conflict,
Speaker 1: even though you have a guy who's running a governmental agency,
Speaker 1: who is sitting on twelve billion dollars of contracts from
Speaker 1: the government, And not only does he have sales from
Speaker 1: the government, not only does his sell the government SpaceX
Speaker 1: for example, all these contracts with all these contracts with NASA.
Speaker 2: But he also gets grants from the government.
Speaker 1: For some of his companies, for example his Neurolink company. Now,
Speaker 1: what the spokesperson for the president has said, one of
Speaker 1: the spokespeople, mister Musk has never used his position for
Speaker 1: personal or financial gain, and any assertion otherwise is completely
Speaker 1: false in defamatory talking about Dick Blubenthal, Dick is clearly
Speaker 1: suffering from a debilitating and uncurable case of Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker 2: No conflict.
Speaker 1: I would love to be head of a department of
Speaker 1: government in this administration and at the same time sell
Speaker 1: my brains, my services, my product to the federal government
Speaker 1: and have the federal government say there is no conflict
Speaker 1: there because I don't get any personal gain. The fact
Speaker 1: that I own the companies that get gain. You can't
Speaker 1: argue that that's personal gain.
Speaker 4: Hey, Bill, what's the Is there an organization, a watch
Speaker 4: organization that checks these?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Sure, oh sure, there are tons of them out there.
Speaker 4: I mean, because didn't Trump have to not divest, But
Speaker 4: didn't he have to have family members run the Trump
Speaker 4: Organization things like that?
Speaker 1: Nope, Nope, he doesn't have to do anything. A president
Speaker 1: does not have to divest a trumpet. A president doesn't
Speaker 1: have to deal with conflict. There's no rule, there's no
Speaker 1: law that says that a president can't be conflicted up
Speaker 1: to his eyeballs. Now, he is not allowed to be
Speaker 1: paid emollients under the constitution. He's not allowed to receive
Speaker 1: anything from the government personally. But it's not personal as
Speaker 1: far as he's concerned. Because his sons now own the business.
Speaker 1: There's no personal involvement just because my kids own it. Therefore,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know. It's it's like Menendez who
Speaker 1: got tagged for all the gold and those thout hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars in cash and selling, you know,
Speaker 1: doing favors the Egyptian government, the senators of Menendez, And
Speaker 1: all he had to argue was wasn't me.
Speaker 2: It was my wife. She's the one that got four
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars, not me.
Speaker 1: Well, that flies with the president, and certainly it looks
Speaker 1: like it flies with Elon Musk. By the way, think
Speaker 1: that Elon Musk is in fact violating the law. I
Speaker 1: don't know if there is law that talks about conflict.
Speaker 1: You must recuse yourself. You must not have a conflict.
Speaker 1: You cannot lead a governmental.
Speaker 2: Agency or even be a federal employee. Okay, Oh, here's
Speaker 2: a fun topic.
Speaker 1: Hyphenating your name once you get married, mainly women, but
Speaker 1: sometimes men.
Speaker 2: And I'm in the middle of that one right now.
Speaker 2: And or are you going to take on her name?
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, handles hyphen I'm thinking of taking on. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking on taking on her name. And then I
Speaker 1: have a story about that because we had this discussion
Speaker 1: yesterday about a hyphenated name.
Speaker 2: Hey, is that a new skirt you're wearing. Yes, it is.
Speaker 1: And there's a federal law that just came in and
Speaker 1: this has a lot to do with hyphenating names. Well,
Speaker 1: hyphenating names has a lot to do with a new
Speaker 1: federal law unintended consequences.
Speaker 2: I love stories like that.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 3: six forty.
Speaker 2: Some of the stories.
Speaker 1: We're looking at one hundred days now for President Trump,
Speaker 1: he's been in office, and then that symbolic, it doesn't
Speaker 1: really mean a whole lot. Symbolic one hundred days mean
Speaker 1: almost nothing in terms of legislation. But FDR started that
Speaker 1: and we talked a little bit more about that, and
Speaker 1: we'll will be in the next few days. Also, more
Speaker 1: than fifty five thousand LA County workers went on strike
Speaker 1: last night and it'll happen until tomorrow night. Wages are
Speaker 1: in dispute, some benefits. All right, there's a story I
Speaker 1: want to share with you, and this is kind of
Speaker 1: a neat story. There is a law, well, it's going
Speaker 1: to be a law, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.
Speaker 1: It's called the SAVE Act, and it passed Congress Republican
Speaker 1: controlled Congress early this month, and we don't know how
Speaker 1: it's going to do in the Senate, but looks like
Speaker 1: it's going to go and what it says, is it
Speaker 1: requires folks to prove their citizenship in person before registering
Speaker 1: to vote. Now, I happen to be a fan of
Speaker 1: that personally, because voting is limited to US citizens, and
Speaker 1: to not ask someone to prove citizenship, you know what
Speaker 1: it's I don't get it. And I understand the argument that,
Speaker 1: you know, people who are marginalized who can't prove it
Speaker 1: should not be precluded from voting. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I just don't understand how you cannot ask someone to
Speaker 1: prove a requirement to vote. Certainly, driving you have to
Speaker 1: have a driver's license, Certainly anything else you have to have.
Speaker 1: You can't go to school, for example, without having a
Speaker 1: birth certificate. Oh, actually you can't public school. They can't
Speaker 1: even ask you anymore. But so, how do you prove
Speaker 1: your citizenship? This is for this act. How do you
Speaker 1: prove that you are a citizen? Well, you produce a
Speaker 1: burst certificate, okay, or any other quote acceptable document. What
Speaker 1: if you change your name after your wedding? What if
Speaker 1: you hyphenate your name, your birth certificate is not matching,
Speaker 1: you now have a different name, and the hoops you
Speaker 1: have to go through. I'm in the middle of that
Speaker 1: right now, and then the stats are fascinating. Republicans are
Speaker 1: much more likely to retain or take on husband's names.
Speaker 1: This is almost always a husband's names being taken a
Speaker 1: small percentage the other way. The issue is taking on
Speaker 1: a husband's name versus a hyphenated name or keeping your
Speaker 1: own name. The majority of people women simply take on
Speaker 1: a husband's name. There are some women who keep their
Speaker 1: own name, you see that quite often. And there's some
Speaker 1: that hyphenate their names. Now, women who keep their own names,
Speaker 1: that's easy. It's their own name, so they have to
Speaker 1: worry about any of this. Oh, let's talk about passports
Speaker 1: for a moment.
Speaker 2: All I have to show you passport. You know, fifty
Speaker 2: two percent of Americans don't have a passport. So what
Speaker 2: do you do with that? And when is the last
Speaker 2: time you saw your birth certificate?
Speaker 1: And if you've been married and changed your name, when
Speaker 1: you looked at it and did it match it did not?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a mess if this bill passes.
Speaker 1: So what happens with these hyphenated names? And I told
Speaker 1: you I'm in the middle of this right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: My wife Lindsay, Okay, her last name is soprano and
Speaker 1: I told her, keep soprano.
Speaker 2: It's just easier.
Speaker 1: Nope, she's having a hyphenated name now, even within that
Speaker 1: because that's fair equals the you.
Speaker 2: Know, even Stephen.
Speaker 1: Even then that sort of gives the edge to the
Speaker 1: male name. And this is what this is all about,
Speaker 1: because when you're talking historically name, male names take over everything.
Speaker 1: Wives take on their husband's names, and you just change
Speaker 1: your name, you're a different person. So the hyphenated names,
Speaker 1: which name always goes last as a last name, it's
Speaker 1: a husband's name. Lindsey is going to be soprano. Handled,
Speaker 1: I told her stay soprano. Oh.
Speaker 4: I think if men knew just how complicated it is
Speaker 4: for women to go through all that Michigan in changing
Speaker 4: their names, this would have been done a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you do it? And there's you know
Speaker 2: I had.
Speaker 4: I had a woman tell me once that she was
Speaker 4: changing her name because she didn't want a man's name.
Speaker 4: She wanted her maid maiden name. And I said, your
Speaker 4: maiden name is a man's name.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good point. By the way, is Tracy use your
Speaker 2: name or she used her own last? She uses her name? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: what makes sense?
Speaker 4: Married our late thirties, It's like, why change all that?
Speaker 4: It didn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: I'm getting married my late eighties and it doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense.
Speaker 2: Or I just feel that way. You should take her
Speaker 2: name enough.
Speaker 1: You know. At one point, this quick aside, Lindsey actually
Speaker 1: was talking about converting and I said, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you're not going to convert. I'm not going to marry
Speaker 1: a Jewish woman. I've done that once. We're not going
Speaker 1: to go through that twice. And so I having a
Speaker 1: wife that has a and it's not easy. You have
Speaker 1: to change everything with the last name, passports, so security,
Speaker 1: all of that. You keep your last name. You're done,
Speaker 1: You're finished. You just happen to be married. So I'm
Speaker 1: staying handled no matter what. All right, We're done. Coming
Speaker 1: up sixty minutes. Boy, what a story that was a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Scott Pelley, who is one of
Speaker 1: their premier reporters, ripped into the corporation.
Speaker 2: And this is big news and I'll share that with
Speaker 2: you when we come back.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 3: six forty.
Speaker 1: Some of the big stories we are looking at. The
Speaker 1: president has been in office for one hundred days. White
Speaker 1: House touting tariffs immigration crackdown is the biggest accomplishment so far.
Speaker 1: Tariffs don't know about the crackdown and immigration, well, it is.
Speaker 2: It is now. Whether you agree with it or not
Speaker 2: is a different issue.
Speaker 1: And then we'll be talking about that, especially the tariff part,
Speaker 1: over the next few days, weeks, months.
Speaker 2: And then fifty five thousand LA.
Speaker 1: County workers on strike, thank you, done for at least
Speaker 1: until tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: And then the LA County talking about.
Speaker 1: That board of Supervisors will approve four billion dollars in
Speaker 1: a settlement of more than sixty eight hundred claims of
Speaker 1: sexual abuse juvenile facilities, foster care going back to the
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. Oh okay, I don't know if you're a
Speaker 1: sixty minute fan. I'm a huge sixty minute fan. Scott Pelley,
Speaker 1: one of their top journalists reporters, at the end of
Speaker 1: sixty Minutes, criticized Paramount, the company's owner. And this is
Speaker 1: the first sort of major move since the program's executive producer,
Speaker 1: Bill Owens, announced his intention to resign last week. Pelly said,
Speaker 1: Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways.
Speaker 2: None of our.
Speaker 1: Stori has been blocked, but Bill Owens felt he had
Speaker 1: lost the independence that honest journalism requires. Now Paramount had
Speaker 1: no immediate comment, but Owens the executive producer. I think
Speaker 1: he's the third executive producer, maybe the second executive producer
Speaker 1: of sixty Minutes. He stunned the staff when he said
Speaker 1: he's going to leave the show over disagreements with Paramount.
Speaker 1: And that was while Wiley reported in the press last week.
Speaker 1: Because this is sixty minutes and this is obvious that
Speaker 1: there are big tensions between sixty minutes and its corporate owners.
Speaker 1: Sherry Redstone, who is the controlling shareholder of Paramount, needs
Speaker 1: the approval from the Trump administration for the sale of
Speaker 1: Paramount to a studio run by the son of Larry Ellison,
Speaker 1: the guy who created Oracle.
Speaker 2: While all this.
Speaker 1: Was going on, Trump hassued CBS he did last year
Speaker 1: claiming ten billion dollars in damages now twenty billion dollars
Speaker 1: in damages from a sixty minute interview that sixty Minutes
Speaker 1: did with at that point, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Trump said that the story was deceptively edited, giving Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris more credence and making her arguments, more coaching, and
Speaker 1: just basically making her look better. And Trump said that
Speaker 1: that's worth twenty billion dollars. By the way, most any
Speaker 1: constitutional scholar rotated. That's the most far fetched thing you
Speaker 1: could ever imagine. And just a personal experience. Sixty minutes
Speaker 1: does edit everybody edits Have you ever been interviewed on
Speaker 1: local news and they run that fifteen second sound bite,
Speaker 1: there'll be ten minutes editing you. I had the privilege,
Speaker 1: honor luck to be interviewed on sixty Minutes back and
Speaker 1: I think it was nineteen eighty three, a segment was
Speaker 1: done on surrogate parenting and I was featured on the show,
Speaker 1: and I was on maybe two minutes of that entire segment.
Speaker 2: The interview went for over three hours that they were
Speaker 2: filming it. Of course they edited.
Speaker 1: The point though, is was it a fair edit? And
Speaker 1: Trump is saying it wasn't fair. By the way, where
Speaker 1: is damages he won? Anyway, That's not the point. The
Speaker 1: point is you've got a lawsuit going by the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Sherry Redstone is looking at selling paramount at the same
Speaker 1: time that the Trump administration needs to okay the sale.
Speaker 2: So do you know what paramount is doing right now.
Speaker 1: They are in settlement discussions with the Trump organization over
Speaker 1: whether or not they're going to pay you go wait
Speaker 1: a minute, because you edit it and they're saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: we edit it, but we did fairly and Trump said, no,
Speaker 1: you made her look better than what she actually is.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that.
Speaker 2: One in front of a jury. What does a jury
Speaker 2: do with that one?
Speaker 1: So this is this is big news and as far
Speaker 1: as involvement and this, this is a real problem. Neil
Speaker 1: will tell you this because he has been a host
Speaker 1: as well as he runs his own show, as well
Speaker 1: as having prior management. You know, people always ask me
Speaker 1: because the station has a reputation for being conservative, particularly
Speaker 1: when Rush Limbaugh was on there. So the corporation tells
Speaker 1: you what to say. I've been involved in talk radio
Speaker 1: now and in this company since nineteen eighty nine, and
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty five is when I first started my
Speaker 1: career with handling the law. All the years, never once
Speaker 1: once have I been told or even suggested what to
Speaker 1: say by corporate. Now I've been told what not to say.
Speaker 1: You know all that I get constant hausholds about making
Speaker 1: fun of insert name of and ethnicity here make fun
Speaker 1: of insert religion here, any handicapped people may have. Yes,
Speaker 1: I make fun of everybody, So I get grief for that.
