Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: Chris marriln for Bill Today.
Speaker 3: Can if I Am six forty more stimulating talk listen
Speaker 3: anytime on demand of the iHeartRadio app. You'll find the
Speaker 3: program and all the socials at Bill Handles Show. At
Speaker 3: Bill Handle Show, Amy was giving us that update on
Speaker 3: Rick Cruso, who says now's not the time to be divided,
Speaker 3: Now's the time to come together. So he does not
Speaker 3: support the recall of Mayor Bass. And I was thinking, what,
Speaker 3: here's the guy who's been very critical, here's the guy
Speaker 3: that ran against here, here's a guy that obviously doesn't
Speaker 3: want her to be the mayor.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he want to use this opportunity? And that
Speaker 2: it dawned on me.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's brilliant or obvious, or maybe both,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't want Mayor Bass to be recalled. He
Speaker 3: wants to have a very very weak candidate to run
Speaker 3: against in the next election.
Speaker 2: That's it. I mean her, her popularity right now is in.
Speaker 3: The crapper, and he's thinking if she gets recalled, then
Speaker 3: another Democrat will likely be elected and he's going to
Speaker 3: be left on the outside looking at again. However, if
Speaker 3: in the next election he can run and she ends
Speaker 3: up being the one he runs against, she's the weakest candidate,
Speaker 3: so he wants to keep the weakest.
Speaker 2: Candidate ahead of him. That's, of course it is.
Speaker 3: Imagine if you're a boxer, you want to fight against
Speaker 3: you want to fight against the tops, or you want
Speaker 3: to fight against class Joe, Right, which one you want?
Speaker 3: You want glass Joe. You want to be able to
Speaker 3: knock him out easy. He wants to run against the
Speaker 3: weak Canada, of course he does. So It's all politics, man,
Speaker 3: It's all politics.
Speaker 2: It's all happening there. Let's let's do this. Let's let's
Speaker 2: go to space.
Speaker 3: An impressive sight yesterday as we watch then astronauts return
Speaker 3: to Earth. And I don't know about you, but I
Speaker 3: was rooting for them, but also a little worried because
Speaker 3: SpaceX history here in the last couple of weeks has
Speaker 3: not been great. But indeed they did make it back down.
Speaker 3: Everything is fine. We're all very excited. And they were
Speaker 3: greeted in the Gulf of America by a pod of dolphins,
Speaker 3: which was the cutest thing ever.
Speaker 4: After a planned ten day trip to space turned into
Speaker 4: nine months because of issues with Boeing's new Starliner crew capsule.
Speaker 4: Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams are back on Earth. NASA
Speaker 4: astronaut Nick Haig and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbinov also returned today,
Speaker 4: wrapping up a six month mission in space, all in
Speaker 4: good health.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you feel like they're kind of part of the posse.
Speaker 3: You go see you see a celebrity walking down the street,
Speaker 3: and you focus on the celebrity.
Speaker 2: Everybody else is just in the posse. And then we're like,
Speaker 2: Butch and.
Speaker 3: Sunny are back, and then there there was a couple
Speaker 3: couple other guys too that were on the.
Speaker 2: Bus and splash down Crew nine back on Earth.
Speaker 4: The SpaceX capsule splashing down off the Florida coast Tuesday afternoon,
Speaker 4: a stunning site. Hours earlier, the capsule detached from the
Speaker 4: International Space Station to begin the long journey to finally
Speaker 4: bringing them home. By the way, the capsule has been
Speaker 4: attached there since I think September. This was the plan
Speaker 4: all along. So anybody that.
Speaker 3: Tells you that died in abandon them. I brought them back.
Speaker 3: It was an amazing thing that I did. This is
Speaker 3: always the plan. As soon as the Boeing star Liner malfunctioned,
Speaker 3: NASA went, what do you want to do, and they said, well,
Speaker 3: we planned that if there were any problems, they could
Speaker 3: stay up there. We've got other flights planned to bring
Speaker 3: the other crew members home, Butch and Sonny can stay
Speaker 3: up there for a while. But they gained attention because
Speaker 3: it wasn't planned, and we went okay. It was supposed
Speaker 3: to be a ten day trip and ended up being
Speaker 3: eight or nine months. I think Amy referred to this
Speaker 3: as the Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 2: Of space, and on docin confirmed sonny.
Speaker 4: Mother Bonnie Pandia and her sister Dina Pondia anxiously awaiting
Speaker 4: her arrival.
Speaker 2: So we're all excited.
Speaker 3: We're waiting for her, we're waiting to hear from her,
Speaker 3: and it's just a wonderful experience now that we're going
Speaker 3: to have.
Speaker 2: It's wonderfault. It's wonderful.
Speaker 3: If you watched it, it was it was cool to
Speaker 3: see and I was glad that all the different news
Speaker 3: networks broke away, and I think I think even some
Speaker 3: of the main networks broke away in order to cover
Speaker 3: the return because we're all really excited about them coming back.
Speaker 3: It's been a long drama that played out. They went up,
Speaker 3: it was the Golf of Mexico and Elon Musk had
Speaker 3: thirteen kids. They come down, it's the Golf of America
Speaker 3: and Elon Musk has fourteen kids. So lots changed and
Speaker 3: they get back down and we're all very excited about this.
Speaker 2: But now what So it's sort of like it's sort
Speaker 2: of like a deep sea diver.
Speaker 3: You know, how a diver goes down and then when
Speaker 3: they come up, they have to come up in stages,
Speaker 3: so they don't get the bends, you know the I
Speaker 3: think it is it nitrogen in the blood. I believe
Speaker 3: that that becomes a problem. So they come up slowly
Speaker 3: and then they acclimate, and then they come up a
Speaker 3: little more, and then they acclimate, and then they come
Speaker 3: up a little more in they acclimate. Same sort of
Speaker 3: thing happens with the astronauts. They come down, they sit
Speaker 3: in the capsule. They were only in there, man. I
Speaker 3: think that capsule was only floating for about ten minutes
Speaker 3: before the boats got to them. That is incredibly accurate.
Speaker 3: NASA is really good at math, and they said that
Speaker 3: thing is going to come down, and it's going to
Speaker 3: land in this area, and the boats were on it.
Speaker 3: That is fast, so good job on that. And then
Speaker 3: they hoisted it out, they brought it on the ship,
Speaker 3: and then they brought all of the astronauts out one
Speaker 3: at a time. So now what happens now they go
Speaker 3: into it's not a quarantine, it's what they call it
Speaker 3: a recovery program. They're going to go through a forty
Speaker 3: five day recovery program where they will be allowed to shrink. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I want you to think about all those commercials you
Speaker 3: see for the teeter inversion tables.
Speaker 2: I've got one.
Speaker 3: I love that thing because it extends my back, stretches
Speaker 3: me out. You know that when you're in space and
Speaker 3: there's no pressure on your back, it naturally decompresses. Scott
Speaker 3: Kelly was in space in twenty sixteen. He was up
Speaker 3: there for almost a year, slightly longer than these guys were.
Speaker 3: But when Scott Kelly came back down they took his measurements.
Speaker 3: He got two inches taller just by not having his
Speaker 3: back compressed. So basically, when we get back down and
Speaker 3: the astronauts have to reacclimate to gravity, they will shrink. Also,
Speaker 3: they have to allow bodily fluids to go back out
Speaker 3: to their extremities, because when they're in space, the bodily
Speaker 3: fluids start to come to the center their bodies, kind
Speaker 3: of like it does if you're in shock, only in
Speaker 3: this case it just has to do with the zero gravity.
Speaker 3: And then so they have to allow blood flow to return.
Speaker 3: They have to allow the astronauts to shrink, and then
Speaker 3: they're going to test them for radiation, and if they
Speaker 3: have too much radiation, they can never go back into
Speaker 3: space again, and they will. In this case, these astronauts
Speaker 3: will be checked for the rest of their lives for
Speaker 3: cancer simply because of the exposure to radiation that they
Speaker 3: experienced for the what eight or nine months that they
Speaker 3: were that they were orbiting so high radiation exposure. Got
Speaker 3: to make sure they don't get cancer. If you were
Speaker 3: watching the news yesterday, you know that there was a
Speaker 3: big to do between President Trump and the judge who
Speaker 3: said that you can't go and acting the the Scary
Speaker 3: Aliens of seventeen ninety eight Act in order to deport people.
Speaker 3: We're not at war with Venezuela. You can't go deporting
Speaker 3: Venezuelans without due process. Under this Alien Enemies Act. You
Speaker 3: have to go through the normal means, due process, all
Speaker 3: those other things that we have in this country. The
Speaker 3: President said, Judge, no, those were his words. Yeah, he said, no,
Speaker 3: I can do whatever I want.
Speaker 5: Wrong.
Speaker 3: Wrong, I can do what I want, Judge. The judge said,
Speaker 3: turn that plane around and bring it back, and Trump
Speaker 3: said wrong. So now the judge says, today, you better
Speaker 3: tell us what's up, and you better tell us why
Speaker 3: you ignored those court orders. Joining us right now is
Speaker 3: our News Nation reporter Tom Dempsey. Tom, is this are
Speaker 3: we headed toward? I hate to use the phrase because
Speaker 3: I think it's being overused right now, but are we
Speaker 3: headed toward a constitutional crisis?
Speaker 2: Is this the first step?
Speaker 1: That's what the ACLU is saying. And can I first
Speaker 1: say too. I love the way you talked about this case,
Speaker 1: that made it so simple. You really laid it out
Speaker 1: for the listener as well. I mean, it's an interesting
Speaker 1: one to be following because you know, we're here in
Speaker 1: DC today noon Eastern time. That's the deadline for the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice to respond to more questions from this judge,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing the Department of Justice sort of fight
Speaker 1: back against this right now. It's saying that this judge
Speaker 1: lacks the authority to ask so many different questions, and
Speaker 1: the judge is asking literally wanting to know by the minute,
Speaker 1: when those planes took off, when they landed, when they
Speaker 1: enter the international airspace. So again there's this all these
Speaker 1: questions going around and going back and forth between the
Speaker 1: judge criticizing the one side, and the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: criticizing the judge, and President Trump also joining in on that.
Speaker 1: So we're just seeing a lot of uncertainty play out
Speaker 1: with this case. Right now. You have one side, the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice and President Donald Trump raising all these
Speaker 1: concerns about the trend de Arragua Venezuelan gang and saying
Speaker 1: that these people who are deported were allegedly members of
Speaker 1: that gang, and they keep bringing up, you know, the
Speaker 1: national security issues that were in place, you know, to
Speaker 1: get these people out of the country and the help
Speaker 1: Americans stay safe. But like you said and kind of
Speaker 1: laying it out there, there's also very big concerns on
Speaker 1: the other side of this that the Trump administration may
Speaker 1: have violated the order on this judge to halt the
Speaker 1: deportations because there's big questions going around the ACLU raising
Speaker 1: them that you know, maybe some of these people who
Speaker 1: are deported weren't members of the gang, and they're raising
Speaker 1: concerns about, like you said, the due process. This is
Speaker 1: a wartime policy that was used in peace time, so
Speaker 1: big questions about the presidential authority in this case. And
Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily know what's going to happen next year.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing some people in Trump's circle saying that this
Speaker 1: could end up all the way in the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: So again, there's some stuff to keep an eye out
Speaker 1: for today.
Speaker 3: Though, Yeah, I think Tom, I think they wanted to
Speaker 3: go to the Supreme Court because I think they feel
Speaker 3: like they've they've packed it well enough. But I don't
Speaker 3: know that it's going to play out the way that
Speaker 3: they wanted to. One of the arguments, at least in
Speaker 3: the court of public opinion, that the Trump administration is
Speaker 3: playing is that we're trying to make America safer, We're
Speaker 3: getting rid of terrorists, and if you want to argue
Speaker 3: for terrorists, then be our guest. We're willing to take
Speaker 3: that argument on is being pro due processed the same
Speaker 3: as being pro terrorist?
Speaker 2: Because I feel like not bridge too far?
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely not. I mean, this is I keep in mind,
Speaker 1: this is the ACLU too. In the ACLU represents, you know,
Speaker 1: people that many people might disagree with. So but what
Speaker 1: they're arguing is that, you know, even the alleged members
Speaker 1: of a gang are owed rightful due process to have
Speaker 1: their time at court and to argue their case. And
Speaker 1: you know, that's what this is all coming down to.
Speaker 1: Did the Trump administration sort of rush in this maneuver
Speaker 1: to get these people out of the country, and they did,
Speaker 1: they willingly defy this order from the judge. We just
Speaker 1: don't know, that's factually speaking. And that's sort of what
Speaker 1: today is all about. Trying to get more information from
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, and like I said, literally coming
Speaker 1: down the minutes in this case, when that plane, when
Speaker 1: the planes took off, when they landed, because if those
Speaker 1: show that the Trump administration, you know, potentially may have
Speaker 1: violated this court order to halt the deportations, this could
Speaker 1: get really interesting. And I don't necessarily know what happens
Speaker 1: next after that, like you said, probably appeals and maybe
Speaker 1: ending up with the Supreme Court. But it's going to
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what happens next.
Speaker 3: Is our News Nation reporter, so Chief Justice Roberts sort
Speaker 3: of rebuked the White House and their criticism of this
Speaker 3: federal court judge. Are we likely to see perhaps some
Speaker 3: unconscious bias entering in on the part of the judiciary
Speaker 3: when they are approached with some of these Trump orders,
Speaker 3: Do they say, you know, we're a little skeptical and
Speaker 3: we know the Chief Justice at least is going to
Speaker 3: support that we have the right to make the decision.
Speaker 2: I mean maybe this is in Bolden was that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's what's been interesting is covering this over the
Speaker 1: past three three or so days. One thing I'm noticing
Speaker 1: a lot more is this pushback from the Republicans and
Speaker 1: allies of the president against federal judges. And this federal judge,
Speaker 1: James Boseburg is his name. He was conferred by the
Speaker 1: Setate by a vote of ninety six to nothing back
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. He's appointee of former President Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: But you know, you are sort of seeing this pushback
Speaker 1: from President Trump whenever he gets an unfavorable ruling. And
Speaker 1: let's be clear, this is not the first time this
Speaker 1: has happened. During this second term of his presidency, There's
Speaker 1: been a lot of the court challenges to these federal
Speaker 1: government cuts and the cuts of the workforce. So you know,
Speaker 1: actually as we speak right now looking at the United
Speaker 1: States Capitol building. But we are seeing some Republicans respond
Speaker 1: to this with the lawmakers saying that they want to
Speaker 1: the one lawmakers already filed the articles of impeachment against
Speaker 1: the federal judge. So I don't necessarily think that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. It takes a two thirds majority in the Senate,
Speaker 1: meaning Republicans would need Democrats support to get rid of
Speaker 1: this judge. But it just shows you sort of how
Speaker 1: President Trump is thinking right now and some of his
Speaker 1: allies responding to all this.
Speaker 3: All right, Tom Dempsey, our News Nation reporter, Tom, thanks
Speaker 3: so much, appreciate the report on you co equal branches
Speaker 3: of government. It doesn't always feel so co equal. If
Speaker 3: you're on the socials. It's at Bill Handle Show, at
Speaker 3: Bill Handle Show. And if you are on the socials,
Speaker 3: there's a chance, while you may not navigate the socials
Speaker 3: as well as your teenager or young adult, you are
Speaker 3: better at not falling for shenanigans, which is what we're seeing.
Speaker 3: We're seeing a bunch of the kids these days that
Speaker 3: somehow are more savvy online than any prior generation and
Speaker 3: also equally dummer than any prior generation. This I pulled
Speaker 3: audio here, this from NBC in Washington that was talking
Speaker 3: about the phishing scams that the kids these days are
Speaker 3: falling for.
Speaker 6: The numbers are alarming, more than one hundred and one
Speaker 6: million dollars lost in online scams in twenty twenty one
Speaker 6: by people under twenty years old. The study was done
Speaker 6: by Social Catfish, a company dedicated to preventing online scams
Speaker 6: through reverse search technology.
Speaker 2: It's such who are a people search company.
Speaker 5: We help people verify people online and so you know,
Speaker 5: our focus is online safety.
Speaker 6: The uptick might be because fifty four percent of the households
Speaker 6: called don't monitor their kids' activities online.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, nobody likes spying on their kids. It is
Speaker 3: harder to be a parent now than it ever has
Speaker 3: in the past. It's harder to be a kid than
Speaker 3: it's ever been in the past. It's harder to be
Speaker 3: a parent. You hear stories from us fogies that we'll
Speaker 3: talk about how our parents would say, go outside and
Speaker 3: don't come back until it's dark, or don't come back
Speaker 3: until the street lights come on. And there were times
Speaker 3: that we would I recall playing basketball with friends.
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about street games with anybody that was.
Speaker 3: Good at basketball, but it was just a group of
Speaker 3: guys somewhere between the ages of twelve and sixteen, and
Speaker 3: we'd be out there playing basketball until we literally couldn't
Speaker 3: see the basket any longer, and then everybody walked home
Speaker 3: and we'll see again tomorrow. That's what we did, right.
Speaker 3: Parents didn't have to spy on us now. Occasionally to
Speaker 3: have one of the kids, parents would drive by and
Speaker 3: just wave and go, hey, I'm just heading home.
Speaker 2: Just wanted to say hi.
Speaker 3: And you know, now, looking back at it as a parent,
Speaker 3: I can look back and go, okay, they were just
Speaker 3: checking to make sure the kid was there and then
Speaker 3: everything's safe. Cool, it's great. But now you have to
Speaker 3: put keyloggers on your kid's computer. You have to put
Speaker 3: spywear on your own kid's computer to make sure that
Speaker 3: they're not falling victim. And the kids don't like it
Speaker 3: because they say, you're watching everything I'm doing. Of course,
Speaker 3: teenagers do that because they want their independence. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: watching what you're doing. Because there's always some pervo out
Speaker 3: there asking for you to send nude pictures truth. In
Speaker 3: the old days, there were still pervos, but you could
Speaker 3: identify them because they had really noisy vans with no windows.
Speaker 2: Nowadays you can't see them.
Speaker 5: When they're randomly contacted by somebody, whether it be through
Speaker 5: social media, through email, or their phones. They don't have
Speaker 5: their spider sets up like you or I where we
Speaker 5: grew up in like that don't talk to strangers generation.
Speaker 6: Leaving over confident tech savvy teams to be exposed to
Speaker 6: four common SCAMSOO what would they be? The first is
Speaker 6: sex stortion. The FBI published this warning on sextortion plots
Speaker 6: against teenage boys. Often scammers will pose as a female,
Speaker 6: send new photos and ask for the same in return.
Speaker 2: Thank Goodness TV out of the sound effects it's received.
Speaker 6: The victim is told if he does not send money,
Speaker 6: a photo will be sent to all of his friends
Speaker 6: and family and posted online.
Speaker 5: It's sad because last year there was a story of
Speaker 5: a Florida team that actually committed suicidally.
Speaker 2: Oh and what we.
Speaker 5: Realize is with most sex stortion cases, though they're empty threats.
Speaker 6: Before chatting with a stranger online, perform a reverse image
Speaker 6: search to confirm the person is who they say they are,
Speaker 6: and if you received a threat, contact local law enforcement
Speaker 6: to report it.
Speaker 3: Now here's where the team is going to be better
Speaker 3: than you are doing the reverse image search. Swear to god,
Speaker 3: it would take me ten minutes to figure out how
Speaker 3: to do that. I could figure it out, but I
Speaker 3: don't have the reverse image search website handy on my computer.
Speaker 2: It would take me a hot minute.
Speaker 6: Another scam is student loan forgiveness. Most of the time,
Speaker 6: the victim will get emails or texts asking for personal
Speaker 6: information like their Social Security number and payment information. To
Speaker 6: avoid this, the Department of Education's official financial site studenta
Speaker 6: dot gov should be the only site you give personal information.
Speaker 2: To, although that site may go down here very shortly because.
Speaker 6: Of cuts, and there is no application fee to apply up. Next,
Speaker 6: talent scout scam users on Instagram.
Speaker 2: And tic we got it, talent scouts blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: What else to avoid? Just never click on any links,
Speaker 6: even if the link was sent from a friend.
Speaker 3: There you go, don't click on links. You don't have
Speaker 3: any talent. Nobody wants to see you naked. And what
Speaker 3: was the other one? Who was the other one?
Speaker 2: We just had?
Speaker 3: So why do people fall for it? Because when you're
Speaker 3: a teenager, you're dumb. When you're a young adult, you're dumb.
Speaker 3: You've got more hormones than brains, and you've got what
Speaker 3: the kid call fomo. Now for many of you, you
Speaker 3: know what fomo means. But every time I say the
Speaker 3: phrase fomo, my wife has to ask what does that mean?
Speaker 3: And I just say, you just wouldn't understand. You're getting
Speaker 3: up there, and that's when I get to go sleep
Speaker 3: on the couch. But fomo is fear of missing out.
Speaker 3: So we have so many young people that have a
Speaker 3: fear of missing out that they're willing to send nuties
Speaker 3: of themselves to randos. They're willing to click on links
Speaker 3: that say we'll pay off your student loan debt, because
Speaker 3: I mean, what if there's a chance that it's real?
Speaker 3: And they'll click on all kinds of different links because
Speaker 3: I don't want to miss out on something.
Speaker 2: Oh, this talent.
Speaker 3: Agent spotted my Instagram and says I'm hot and could
Speaker 3: be a model. I better click on the link and
Speaker 3: give them my photos and send them money to represent me,
Speaker 3: because I mean, what if they are real? Well, jincidentally
Speaker 3: is not new. This happened when I was in college.
Speaker 3: The Internet was still very young as far it's ubiquity.
Speaker 3: And when I was in college, we used to get.
Speaker 2: Those chain letter emails.
Speaker 3: Forward this to six people, you know, because Bill Gates
Speaker 3: is giving every one.
Speaker 2: A thousand dollars that's on this chain. We got those.
Speaker 3: Constantly, constantly, and we always forwarded them because I mean,
Speaker 3: we're ninety nine point nine percent sure this is garbage,
Speaker 3: but just in case, maybe Bill Gates is trying to
Speaker 3: figure out who can give money to okay, and we
Speaker 3: forward it same thing fear of missing out.
Speaker 2: Fomo.
Speaker 3: There it is now no more ratty kids at your hotel.
Speaker 3: Thank goodness. I am a grump. I love kids in
Speaker 3: small doses, and certainly not when I'm trying to sleep.
Speaker 3: There is a resort in Encinnitas that has recently come
Speaker 3: recently become Southern California is only adults only, ocean front resort,
Speaker 3: according to the Only Times. Now some are saying, well,
Speaker 3: that's illegally, you can't do. You can't ban kids from hotels.
Speaker 3: So now you've got a bunch of others that are
Speaker 3: trying to figure out is this legal?
Speaker 2: Is it not? Legal?
Speaker 3: Attorneys, consumer advocates, travelers, all this stuff. Is this a
Speaker 3: violation of civil code? And I thought it was an
Speaker 3: interesting conversation that we could have because if you're like me,
Speaker 3: you'd love to go to a resort that doesn't have
Speaker 3: a bunch of kids running around. If you go to
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, they have places like adults only pools, They
Speaker 3: have places where you are not allowed to bring kids.
Speaker 3: I don't know that there are adults only hotels in
Speaker 3: Vegas though, anybody are they are adult only hotels in Vegas?
Speaker 2: There should be, right.
Speaker 4: Well, kids aren't allowed like in the gambling areas.
Speaker 3: Nope, and they're not allowed. There's some adult only pools
Speaker 3: absolutely adult yeah, right, so they should And I think
Speaker 3: in some ways what these hotels and resorts in Vegas
Speaker 3: are doing is they are they are de facto becoming
Speaker 3: no kids allowed, as opposed to just posting no kids allowed.
Speaker 3: So this Alila, Maria, I'm sure I'm pronouncing that wrong.
Speaker 3: Beach resort in Encinita's, part of the Hyatt Hotel Empire,
Speaker 3: announced that they would exclude children as overnight guests. They
Speaker 3: have become the self described only adults only ocean front
Speaker 3: resort in southern California, and some people are saying that
Speaker 3: is a no go. They say, we cater to adults
Speaker 3: only because that's kind of our vision. So what's is
Speaker 3: this not discrimination? Is this not age discrimination?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: Is it age discrimination? If you're twenty three years old
Speaker 3: and you can't rent a car, is that age discrimination?
Speaker 3: California courts have decided that the Act does prohibit landlords
Speaker 3: from refusing to rent to families with children. So you
Speaker 3: may have a landlord that says no kids in my
Speaker 3: complex and parents go up. You can't say that it's
Speaker 3: our alady been checked out. You have to read to
Speaker 3: us even though we have horrible children. I'm not saying
Speaker 3: all children are horrible. Just when they're on vacation and
Speaker 3: they're not mine, that's when they're horrible. Of course, there
Speaker 3: is another way around this, and there are times that
Speaker 3: I think some people take capitalism in the free market
Speaker 3: too far. For instance, RFK says that we should allow
Speaker 3: the bird flu to run rampant so we can figure
Speaker 3: out who the strong chickens are. I'm paraphrasing, but that's
Speaker 3: pretty much the gist of it. Then they will develop
Speaker 3: their own natural immudities and they'll be stronger chickens.
Speaker 2: Is that Okay, should we.
Speaker 3: Just say, sure, lase a fair spread the bird flu
Speaker 3: and then let's weed out the weak ones. Darwinism at
Speaker 3: its best, that is a capitalism gone a little too
Speaker 3: far right. However, I do think there's an opportunity for
Speaker 3: capitalism and the market to correct this issue. If you've
Speaker 3: got an adult's only hotel, couldn't you have other places
Speaker 3: to say they're going to institute family only bookings?
Speaker 2: And why not think about this?
Speaker 3: If you go to if you go to some of
Speaker 3: the football games, could be a college game, could be
Speaker 3: a program. They have those sections that are called the
Speaker 3: family sections in the stadiums.
Speaker 2: Those are the family sections. The family sections.
Speaker 3: There's no alcohol allowed, right, that's the whole the family sections.
Speaker 3: No alcohol allowed, And you're definitely gonna get the look.
Speaker 3: Have you start swearing at the other team because there's
Speaker 3: gotta be kids around there? The whole idea family section?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: The rest of the stadium is not strictly no kids,
Speaker 3: but it's definitely discouraged because you've been encouraged to go
Speaker 3: to the family section.
Speaker 2: So why not have your hotel be family only bookings?
Speaker 3: My wife and I had a short term rental and
Speaker 3: we promoted the heck out of the fact that it
Speaker 3: was five bedrooms. Bring all the family, bring the kids.
Speaker 3: We were pet friendly. We wanted everyone there because we
Speaker 3: wanted our booking to appeal to the broadest audience.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: So if you have a place, if you're a Disney resort,
Speaker 3: you're promoting that you want kids there.
Speaker 2: Fight out.
Speaker 3: So why wouldn't we allow for the market to dictate
Speaker 3: that if a company's avenue is we want no kids,
Speaker 3: we want adults only.
Speaker 2: What's the issue. Well, that's not fair.
Speaker 3: Little Johnny wants to be able to pee in everyone's pool.
Speaker 3: I'm not for it. Not for it. I think this
Speaker 3: is a great opportunity for the market to sort things out.
