00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>about ask Handle Anything. It's our new segment where you

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>ask me anything. This is just fun, that's all. It's

6
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 1>all about embarrassing and humiliating me. Where you go to

7
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.839
<v Speaker 1>the iHeart app during the course of the show, go

8
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>to the KFI page at the top of the right corner.

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>You'll see a small microphone. Click on it, and then

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 2>you have fifteen.

11
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Seconds to record your question and pretty much anything. I've

12
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>answered some questions that normally I don't talk about, and

13
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna have a good fun. So we do that,

14
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and I do that eight thirty on Friday, and then

15
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Neil and and they check out the answers or the questions,

16
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>they listen to them. I don't hear them until they're

17
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>actually broadcast on the air.

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's just fun at eight thirty.

19
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Now.

20
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Pete Hegseth, who is our new Secretary of Defense, confirmed Friday,

21
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>sworn in on Saturday. He has some big, big issues

22
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>to deal with global conflicts, border security, administrative tasks, and

23
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 1>at the top of his list is the president's priority

24
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>to strengthen the US military presidence along the southern border,

25
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>and connected to that, whether active.

26
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Duty forces should be used.

27
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 1>For law enforcement, which by the way, is illegal under

28
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 1>the posse Kobatatas Act, which says that active personnel cannot

29
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>be used for law enforcement on US soil. And I'll

30
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>tell you in a minute how he is getting around that,

31
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>because you can get around it.

32
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>President can get around that.

33
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>And a bunch of other issues are there, including the

34
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon's budget, aid to Ukraine, support for the ceasefire in Gaza.

35
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Ramas and Arab countries are not thrilled with Trump because

36
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>he is so pro Israel, troop deployments in the Middle East,

37
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>diversity programs in the military. And in a message to

38
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the military after he had sworn in on Saturday, he.

39
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Cited all these challenges.

40
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 1>And summer ones his predecessor faced like reorent reorient, reorient, reorienting,

41
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>thank you very much, Bill, the military from decades of

42
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Mid East focus and better deterring China. And that is

43
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 1>very difficult to do. And he also told service members

44
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 1>about other priorities, strengthening the defense industrial base, get the

45
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon to pass an audit, which I agree with.

46
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>That makes a lot of sense.

47
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>What he did on Saturday morning is he made a

48
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 1>stop to the Pentagon right after he was sworn in,

49
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 1>and there was no media coverage of that. He did

50
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>it secretly, which you know, I don't have a problem

51
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 1>with not everything should be.

52
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Covered by the media.

53
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>The Pentagon later released an official photo of Hegseth, saying

54
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>he was ready to work on behalf of America's warriors.

55
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>All Right, a little pr photo op. You know, that

56
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. I mean that happens all the time. And

57
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>his support staff has been meeting with military leaders, including

58
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 1>the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

59
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Of Staff, and Hegseth is going.

60
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 1>To experience what people are describing as drinking from a

61
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>fire hose.

62
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>He's got so much.

63
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>To deal with and get up to speed on what

64
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>two point one one million service members seven hundred and

65
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 1>eighty thousand civilians in the Department are doing, some serving overseas,

66
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 1>some in combat zone.

67
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>So here are some key issues.

68
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 1>By the way, he was confirmed with a tiebreaker by

69
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Vice President J. D.

70
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Vance.

71
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Three Republicans voted against him, including Mitch McConnell. All Right,

72
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 1>he's going to face a barrage of information, what troops

73
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 1>are available, what assistance the border patrol needs, because keep

74
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 1>in mind, he ran on two different issues, one inflation,

75
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and he attacked Joe Biden on inflation and read the

76
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>American electorate much much better than the Democrats. By the way,

77
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>inflation the president does really not have much to do with.

78
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>It's basically out of a president's control. But it doesn't

79
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>make you know, the buck stops here.

80
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>As far as his attack.

81
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>On the Biden administration on the border and border security,

82
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump was absolutely right. He read it perfectly. Biden literally

83
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>was open arms for the most part, even though he

84
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>deported just a zillion people. The philosophy of this administration

85
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that just left was much more pro immigration asylum seekers.

86
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 1>Trump had a remain in Mexico policy. Biden undid that.

87
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>So I agree completely, and I was one of the people.

88
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Now I didn't vote for Trump, but I agreed with

89
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>him on that issue. So he's going to deal with

90
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 1>information on what troops are available, what the border patrol needs,

91
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>where to house feed and transfer the troops and border personnel,

92
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 1>and how much how involved will the military be in

93
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement on the border. So real, real quickly. Active

94
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 1>duty forces are prohibited from law enforcement on US soil

95
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 1>by the Posse Comitatis Act. Trump signed an executive order

96
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>directing that the Defense and Homeland Security secretaries report back

97
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>within ninety days whether Trump should invoke an eighteen oh

98
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>seven law called the Insurrection Law, that allows troops to

99
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 1>be used for civilian law enforcement on US soil if

100
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.839
<v Speaker 1>the president calls that an invasion and an emergency based

101
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 1>on this eighteen oh seven law, if a president looks

102
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 1>at the border, and no president ever has looks at

103
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 1>the border and people crossing the border as an invasion,

104
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people agree with him. Now, usually

105
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>invasions are from some foreign government, some army. Not usually,

106
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, millions of people trying to cross the border

107
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 1>independently of each other.

108
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>If he calls.

109
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 1>For that, he can use the military to enforce the law,

110
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 1>not simply use for transportation, intelligence, logistics, wall buildings, support tasks,

111
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>which was happening in the previous administration, Trump's previous administration.

112
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.199
<v Speaker 1>All right, when we come back, I want to finish

113
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>this up, and we got a couple of fun topics

114
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that I want to cover with you.

115
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

116
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:50.040
<v Speaker 4>six forty.

117
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 2>It is a Monday morning, January twenty seven.

118
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 1>We are covering some stories. Super Bowls coming up in

119
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks. The Eagle and the Chiefs are

120
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>headed for the Super Bowl, the Chiefs third time and

121
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 1>if they win, it's a three peat that's never been

122
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>done in the history of the NFL. And then the

123
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>eightieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops.

124
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Very very few.

125
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Survivors, some in their nineties, are still there, and they'll

126
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 1>be gone in a couple of years probably, and so

127
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 1>it'll just be history. You won't be able to point

128
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 1>to anybody and say you were there. It is extraordinary.

129
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>One of the most amazing things that ever happened to

130
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>me was meeting people. This was years and years ago,

131
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and they were covered. They usually wore long sleeves and

132
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 1>in one case I met someone who are short sleeves

133
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 1>and there was the tattoo number on his arm. And

134
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that is one of the moments that I'll never forget

135
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of my life. I was just done

136
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 1>by it.

137
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, back we go to Pete Hegseith, who.

138
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Is today's first Day at work as Secretary of Defense,

139
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and as I explained, Boyd, does he have issues to

140
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>deal with?

141
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean over and over again.

142
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>One of the big ones, probably the biggest one at

143
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>this point is the border patrol. And as I explained

144
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 1>in the last segment, or the border itself, and that

145
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>securing the border, which is probably the most important platform

146
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that Trump had. Inflation was a big one, and the

147
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>border was I think even a bigger one. And Trump

148
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 1>read the American electorate perfectly. And this is where the

149
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are looking at themselves. The Democrats are in disarray.

150
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 1>There's anger about Joe Biden not dropping out sooner, not

151
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>particularly thrilled with Kamala Harris, who probably would never have

152
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:13.840
<v Speaker 1>won the nomination if it had been a real open nomination.

153
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>So that hurt.

154
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing that hurt deeply to the Democrats

155
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>they misread the border issue completely, So hegseth Our new

156
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>secretary of Defense is looking at the border and whether

157
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>American troops will be on the border. Don't know how

158
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>many troops will be affected. Well, by the way, another

159
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 1>one that was big and is big for Trump stripping

160
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>protections for transgender troops, which he had stripped during his

161
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 1>first administration, Biden put him back.

162
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Trump is saying to the military through.

163
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Hegseeth, we will not have any diversity programs and certain

164
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>no transgenders. By the way, the military has no idea

165
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 1>who's transgender or not. They don't ask, so they're saying,

166
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 1>we don't know, but somehow, okay, we have to find out.

167
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.919
<v Speaker 2>That's another one. I don't know how that works.

168
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I guess every birth control, every birth certificate has to

169
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.200
<v Speaker 1>be looked at, and then you strip down and you

170
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.639
<v Speaker 1>show your sponts or your lack of fonts. There's the

171
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon budget. Trump ran on the vow to make the

172
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>US military more lethal. He's also got assistance to the

173
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine to deal with. Don't know how much. Trump has

174
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 1>said that's not our war. However, Israel is our war.

175
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Because he is so ardently pro Israel. It's going to

176
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>be a real interesting, interesting issue. And then Dey, which

177
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 1>during the hearings confirmation hearings Headseth said that depolicies divide

178
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>troops and don't prioritize meritocracy.

179
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Department is going.

180
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>To immediately comply with Trump's order and by the way,

181
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:19.919
<v Speaker 1>those who do not comply with the DEI order or

182
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 1>removal of DEI programs, will no longer work at the Pentagon,

183
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>will no longer be in charge, or will be demoted.

184
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Problem is, there aren't any full time workers assigned to DEI.

185
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>So how do you deal with that?

186
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Someone say in favor of DEI, someone who writes positive

187
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 1>positively of DEI.

188
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>But I'll tell you what has been happening.

189
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Websites have been deleted, pages of websites, even the mention

190
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 1>of diversity, and by the way, they're being pulled in

191
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 1>inconsistent ways. Heigsith has railed against women in combat, although

192
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 1>he's come back and said if they meet the standards.

193
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Which by the way, is not a bad idea.

194
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>If you set standards, do you say that, since women

195
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>can't do fifty push ups, we're gonna let women who

196
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:23.519
<v Speaker 1>do thirty push ups, or firefighters who have to lift

197
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 1>eighty pounds of hoes, we are going to let women

198
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>lift forty pounds of hoes, or carrying dead weight down

199
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>a ladder. In terms of rescuing people, there's an argument.

200
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 1>There is an argument there. So he's got some interesting

201
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 1>stuff to deal with, to say the least, and we're

202
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>going to see how he deals with it. And again,

203
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>as I said earlier, is he going to at all pushback? Nope,

204
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>not even a little pushback, because in the world of Trump,

205
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 1>it's fealty. For example, during his first a minute he

206
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>had a twenty seven year old director of communications.

207
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Who did nothing.

208
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 1>You don't have a director of communications in the Donald

209
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump world because he is his own director of communications,

210
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 1>and he is. He doesn't need one, So why even

211
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>has one. I mean, there is no better communicator as

212
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>crazy as Donald Trump can be. I mean, the guy

213
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>understands the media more than I think any other president has.

214
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Ever understood the media.

215
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, coming up age verification, laws to protect minors

216
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:46.279
<v Speaker 1>from porn. I always like talking about laws relating to porn.

217
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>It's just what are those things? Do you protect minors

218
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:50.759
<v Speaker 2>from porn?

219
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

220
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.360
<v Speaker 2>How do you do it?

221
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Eh?

222
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Don't know.

223
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 1>And are the protections really protections? Eh don't know. First

224
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Amendment protecting miners, all of it coming right down the pike.

225
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>And then milk.

226
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, milk has been a problem and an argument

227
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 1>people have on milk for one hundred and fifty years.

228
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Here in the United States.

229
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI am

230
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:19.120
<v Speaker 4>six forty.

231
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 1>So the Supreme Court, I want to share this with you,

232
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 1>has heard arguments actually January fifteenth, about a Texas law

233
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 1>that requires pornography websites to confirm a user's age before

234
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 1>allowing them to view adult content, either by uploading a

235
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>photo of a government issued ID or allowing the face

236
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to be scanned. And these laws have been passed in

237
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 1>a total of nineteen states since twenty twenty three, intended

238
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 1>to protect miners from the harmful effects of porn, and

239
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>studies have found online porn can have on underage viewers.

240
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>The problems including ink christ misogyny. These are studies sexual aggression,

241
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 1>mental health issues, unsafe sex, carpal tunnel syndrome, I.

242
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Mean, some real issues.

243
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:19.679
<v Speaker 1>The Free Speech Coalition argued the law does little protect miners,

244
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:25.200
<v Speaker 1>violates US law First Amendment, which is pretty broad. Although

245
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>this Court may really go broad on this in terms

246
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of protecting minors. Free speech in porn, I think is

247
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.879
<v Speaker 1>going to be a problem. Free speech in religion is

248
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be an issue.

249
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.360
<v Speaker 2>The Court is going to back up.

250
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 1>An attorney representing this free speech coalition said, I think

251
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>their interest Texas really isn't in safety for minors. It's

252
00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 1>actually chilling pornography. First Amendment. Texas just doesn't like it's

253
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:08.279
<v Speaker 1>a very pro Christian state with a lot of very

254
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't even say pro Christian values.

255
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Let me put it that way.

256
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Where fundamental Republicans are not big fans of porno is

257
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a religious issue.

258
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.559
<v Speaker 2>For many, for others not so much.

259
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, Justice Amy Cony Barrett actually asked, wait a minute.

260
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Adults have to show ID in order to enter a

261
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 1>movie theater that displays porno movies. So how does age

262
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>verification laws online are any different?

263
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>And here is the argument.

264
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.559
<v Speaker 1>The ACL you brought up, and that is ID at

265
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a store or a movie, you just show it. If

266
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 1>you put it up online and you show your ID

267
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.759
<v Speaker 1>or somehow show you comply with the age.

268
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Requirements, that's online.

269
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 1>That's in the data base, and all of a sudden,

270
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.920
<v Speaker 1>your information is in the database. Now, the reality is

271
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 1>your information is in the database anyway. If you've ever

272
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>used a credit card, if you've ever given your email

273
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to anybody, any organization, any store, you're there and people

274
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>can mine it. You ever asked for example, if you

275
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:29.519
<v Speaker 1>look something up, I'm looking for a chicken of chicken,

276
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.799
<v Speaker 1>a kitchen gadget for my house. All of a sudden,

277
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I am inundated with ads for kitchen gadgets, everything involving kitchen,

278
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 1>and I just looked up one item.

279
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 2>You're there.

280
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>So those people that are arguing that you have to

281
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 1>put this up on the internet and somehow it's privacy,

282
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.720
<v Speaker 1>it isn't. There is no privacy at all. And how

283
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.200
<v Speaker 1>do we know. Well, porn Hub the biggest site in

284
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the world. And here is how much these age identification

285
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>issues and requirements are in terms of porn websites.

286
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 2>As soon in Louisiana, as porn.

287
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Hub complied, business dropped eighty percent and they just stopped

288
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 1>doing business in many states.

289
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Across the country. It's that simple.

290
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Now. What those people that are against the age verification laws,

291
00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:38.279
<v Speaker 1>they say, Hey, any kid can go on the dark web.

292
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Any kid can use VPN, a virtual private network.

293
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:46.240
<v Speaker 2>It's all encrypted.

294
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:52.559
<v Speaker 1>You can find any site anywhere and log on using

295
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.880
<v Speaker 1>VPN and you will never ever be caught or looked at.

296
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see what happens with the Supreme Court. Can't

297
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>wait for this one. We'll see how far they go

298
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>in allowing porn which adults can see any time anywhere. Now,

299
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 1>there are some restrictions. Child pornography is a crime and

300
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:21.920
<v Speaker 1>should be to be absolutely nailed. Animal bestiality, Uh.

301
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a crime.

302
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Although watching people have sex with chickens, you know, as

303
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>long as they're consenting adult chickens. I mean, does it

304
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:36.839
<v Speaker 1>really matter? All right, let's stop right there. Okay, fair enough,

305
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Neil stopped giving me.

306
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 2>The look give me the weird uh? Okay?

307
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 5>Uh about the bird flu? I think that could be transmission.

308
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>No, that's very stupid. You're absolutely right. Okay.

309
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Worrying about the bird flu, by the way, is part

310
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 1>of the next topic, and that's milk.

311
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.039
<v Speaker 2>And it had has divided him.

312
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Americans for more than one hundred and fifty years. And

313
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why this is so relevant today.

314
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I

315
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.240
<v Speaker 4>am six forty.

316
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Question for Neil.

317
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Neil, how do you feel about raw milk unpasteurized raw milk?

318
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Personally? I wouldn't gamble with it, I wouldn't drink it.

319
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 3>You would not worth it to me.

320
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:28.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't think the benefits of raw milk out weigh

321
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.519
<v Speaker 5>the possible problems.

322
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:35.880
<v Speaker 2>This is where you disagree with Robert Kennedy.

323
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:38.039
<v Speaker 3>Junior, it won't be the only thing.

324
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I assure you, yes.

325
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.359
<v Speaker 1>And he is a big fan of raw milk. And

326
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:45.960
<v Speaker 1>as a matter of fact, what he wants to do

327
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:51.640
<v Speaker 1>is if he gets to get head of the Department

328
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:57.640
<v Speaker 1>of Health and Human Services, is to say that we

329
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 1>got a can you mute please?

330
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting an echo here.

331
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 1>He's the most visible raw milk enthusiast ad at that

332
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 1>level out there. He wants to end the FDA's aggressive

333
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>suppression of products, including raw milk, by the government. Why

334
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 1>because the government you can buy raw milk. You can

335
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:24.440
<v Speaker 1>consume raw milk, but pasteurization you don't die because so

336
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:30.559
<v Speaker 1>many pathogens are in raw milk directly from the cows. Also,

337
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you had mentioned bird flu, and that comes from raw milk.

338
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.119
<v Speaker 2>How is that possible?

339
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Where bird flu has spread to about a thousand dairy herds,

340
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 1>all in unpasteurized milk. It's being noted now milk. You know,

341
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it's been controversial for over one hundred and fifty years.

342
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.759
<v Speaker 2>How is that possible?

343
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, milk, if you go back to one hundred and

344
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 1>fifty years ago, is pure, It's natural. It reminds us

345
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:07.160
<v Speaker 1>of a simpler pastoral time. By the way, so does typhoid,

346
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.640
<v Speaker 1>fever and other disease diseases.

347
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Those were the days.

348
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Those were the days, my friend. Yeah, people go, oh

349
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>those you know, those early days. Oh my god, it's

350
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:25.680
<v Speaker 1>not like today. No air conditioning. You had horses in

351
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the major cities before the cars, and you had forty

352
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>six thousand tons of manure every day that had to

353
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 1>be swept up.

354
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:35.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

355
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:37.759
<v Speaker 5>What's funny, Bill Here in La whenever I see an

356
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:42.359
<v Speaker 5>apartment that says for rent old world charm, that means

357
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:43.240
<v Speaker 5>no air conditions.

358
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah.

359
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:50.400
<v Speaker 1>By the way, okay, here is something. When did pasteurization start, Neil,

360
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to throw that at you.

361
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.839
<v Speaker 3>Would it be the early nineteen hundreds.

362
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Pretty close the eighteen nineties.

363
00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought it was pretty brilliant.

364
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.200
<v Speaker 2>You've had it pretty close. You know what it is.

365
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:06.480
<v Speaker 5>It's just heating it to a particular temperature over probably

366
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:08.960
<v Speaker 5>probably around one hundred and forty one degrees or so,

367
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 5>for length of time to kill that bacteria. But it

368
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 5>preserves calcium, it preserves protein, it preserves vitamin B, vitamin twelve.

369
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Pasteurization does not kill the benefits of milk.

370
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 1>And the people that believe in raw milk, like OURFK

371
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Junior for some crazy ass reason, and they're more and

372
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>more Americans are joining the fray somehow, I don't know.

373
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 2>We want raw milk.

374
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you know that between nineteen oh seven and nineteen

375
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:46.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty three, New York's City's infant death rate decreased by

376
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 1>more than fifty percent because pasteurized milk was mandated. You

377
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:59.319
<v Speaker 1>had to use pasteurized milk fifty percent it decreased. And

378
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.039
<v Speaker 1>then the World War One condensed milk, which is great

379
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:05.960
<v Speaker 1>for coffee, ooh sweet, condensed.

380
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Milk candy making.

381
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's you know, pasteurization.

382
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 2>People were against.

383
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 1>It and there's no science there. And this is where

384
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 1>OURFK Junior comes in. There is no science to what

385
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.799
<v Speaker 1>he says. He is part of the crowd that looks

386
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>at pasteurization as getting rid of some of the healthful

387
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.240
<v Speaker 1>aspects that, as you pointed out, Neil pasteurization does nothing.

388
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 1>That's like homogenizing milk. Right, let's go back to the

389
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.160
<v Speaker 1>old days before homogenizing milk, when cream floated to the

390
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.680
<v Speaker 1>surface and you use that for coffee and you drank

391
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:46.799
<v Speaker 1>non fat milk.

392
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:52.799
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't drink whole milk. All right, we're done.

393
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.119
<v Speaker 1>By the way, have you ever drunk or drank non

394
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:01.920
<v Speaker 1>pasteurized milk? No, no warm milk right there from the

395
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:11.160
<v Speaker 1>cow with dirt and twigs, and they're right on the teat,

396
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.480
<v Speaker 1>although they do clean it up with those milking machines.

397
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.920
<v Speaker 2>And what they do is they pasteurize the teat of

398
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the cow to one hundred and eighty degrees.

399
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 5>Actually that's not pasteurizing, that's actually cooking. Yes, and you're

400
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:27.920
<v Speaker 5>boiling at that point.

401
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, we do this again tomorrow. Guys, we

402
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.599
<v Speaker 1>start all over again. Robin, are you still here tomorrow? No,

403
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Kono comes back. No, we have someone else. Elmer's coming in,

404
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 1>all right, and Michael Monks.

00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:44.920
<v Speaker 2>You here tomorrow.
