00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>six forty.

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.880
<v Speaker 2>KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 2>It's the Bill Handles Show. He's back from vacation Monday.

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Wayne Resnik here with you until nine o'clock. Then Gary

6
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and Shannon are gonna come aboard, and we have some

7
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:25.480
<v Speaker 2>new information in both the New Orleans terror attack and

8
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the truck explosion in Las Vegas. And after I give

9
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 2>you a little update, we're gonna get into a very

10
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable aspect of both of these Both of these events,

11
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 2>as authorities have been searching for some connection between them,

12
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 2>there is one. It's not one that really is going

13
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to be comfortable to talk about, though. But first some updates.

14
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 2>We now know that the active duty soldier who was

15
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>inside the Tesla cyber truck when it exploded in front

16
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>of Trumpeter National Hotel in Las Vegas had, by the way,

17
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess, trigger warning alert whatever, there's some graphic things coming.

18
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 2>He three two one. He shot himself in the head

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>just before the explosion detonated. Seven people were injured with

20
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>minor injuries. There was virtually no damage to the building.

21
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Now authorities think that this guy wanted a bigger attack,

22
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>of more damaging attack. But what happened is the steel

23
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>sides of the cyber truck took a lot of the blast,

24
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and also most of the force of the explosion went up,

25
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>out and up, so it didn't go out horizontally so much.

26
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 2>It went up mostly vertically into the air. The doors

27
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>from the hotel were just a few feet away and

28
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't theion didn't hit those doors. Now, there's a special

29
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Agent in charge of ATF named Kenny Cooper said that

30
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>the level of sophistication is not what we would expect

31
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>from an individual with this type of military science experience.

32
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, So what I don't understand is is he

33
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 2>does he mean this was very sophisticated.

34
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Or is he saying I would have thought a guy.

35
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Who was a Green Beret and served and has five

36
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Bronze stars.

37
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Would have done a better job with it. I can't.

38
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 2>I can't clock where he's coming from on this because

39
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it does not seem particularly sophisticated, and even seems like

40
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 2>he didn't think about whether a cyber truck would be

41
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the right vehicle to use.

42
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess look, thank goodness for that. Now over to

43
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans.

44
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the big news is that after being very

45
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>convinced that multiple people were involved in planning and or

46
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>executing that attack, the government now is convinced that there

47
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>weren't and that the perpetrator there acted alone. He drove

48
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to New Orleans, he made bombs in his rental home.

49
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>He put pipe bombs in ice chests along Bourbon Street.

50
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>He drove the rented electric Ford F one fifty pickup

51
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>truck into the crowd. He got out and shot at people,

52
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and he was shot by police. And he did all

53
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>of that by himself, suggesting that since he since he

54
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 2>did not detonate the bombs before he drove the truck

55
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>through the crowd, the implication is his plan was to

56
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>drive through the crowd, get out, start shooting people and

57
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>they and detonate some pipe bombs on top of that.

58
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 2>And I guess he didn't realize that most police officers

59
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 2>are pretty good at taking down suspects. And there's also

60
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>some speculation that he chose to rent an electric vehicle

61
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 2>so that it would be quieter and he could in

62
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 2>essence sneak up on people more stealthily in that vehicle.

63
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Now, this is the connection.

64
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 2>There's an organization at the University of Maryland and it's

65
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 2>called START, which but START means the National Consortium for

66
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. And they

67
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>have so much data about mass casualty offenders, mass shooters, bombers,

68
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing. They have detailed information on almost every,

69
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>if not every mass casualty event.

70
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Going back to at least nineteen ninety. The connection is

71
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 1>the military service.

72
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 2>According to their data, the single if you're gonna pull

73
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>one data point out as the strongest predictor that someone

74
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>will carry out extremist violence. That one factor is military service,

75
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 2>more highly correlated than mental health issues. The number each

76
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>year of people with military backgrounds who commit extremist crimes

77
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>is going up. If you look at the period from

78
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.240
<v Speaker 2>ninety to about twenty ten, it was averaging seven people

79
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>a year with military backgrounds did something like this, and

80
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>then it started going up, and now it's almost forty five,

81
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 2>forty three to forty five a year. In just the

82
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>last fourteen years, basically, there's been seven hundred and thirty

83
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 2>people with military backgrounds who committed crimes that were motivated

84
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 2>by the political beliefs or social beliefs or religious goals

85
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 2>that they had or economic goals that they had. Now

86
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>one of these events, I don't think this is skewing

87
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the numbers in terms of how many or whether it's

88
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 2>a predictor or a risk factor. One of these is

89
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in nineteen ninety five,

90
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and fourteen deaths, almost two thousand injuries. But

91
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>the fact of the matter is, when you crunch these

92
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>numbers as they do, this is what stands out. To

93
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 2>try now on the fly to speculate as to what

94
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 2>that means would be foolish and would be an insult

95
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that the overwhelming majority, the percentage that

96
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 2>is so close to one hundred percent that it's virtually

97
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.680
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent of people who have and do serve

98
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>in the military, never ever do or would do something

99
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>like this. But there's something there the combination of military

100
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>service and some there's something else, and you put them

101
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 2>together and you do get this this connection. Now, LAPD

102
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>stats show an increase in robberies in some parts of

103
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 2>the city. Okay, crime ebbs and flows, and we've certainly

104
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 2>been living with a mindset. I would say that there's

105
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>more retail theft going on, there's more shoplifting going on,

106
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>there's more people going into stores and grabbing stuff and

107
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 2>walking out and threatening security guards or pulling knives or

108
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 2>knocking them down or bumping into them or.

109
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>What have you.

110
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 2>And so the statistics are saying that in some parts

111
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 2>of the city those numbers are up, but others are saying,

112
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>ads is not really right, this is not really fair.

113
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 2>And the La Times has a big piece where they say, hey,

114
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>we looked at a lot of these incidents, and you

115
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of them started as shoplifting. So I

116
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>guess the idea is that the LAPD is taking a

117
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 2>shoplifting case and then they're scoring it as a robbery.

118
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:18.159
<v Speaker 2>And so why would they do that? What's their game?

119
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Do they want to scare us? Do they want to

120
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>use higher robbery stats to get more funding or more

121
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 2>cops on the street or more equipment. And it doesn't

122
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 2>look like that's what's going on at all. And in fact,

123
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.799
<v Speaker 2>even though it's a little it might be counterintuitive, but

124
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 2>it seems to be.

125
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>The correct way to do it.

126
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to tell you why I'm on the side

127
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 2>of the LAPD here with reporting these incidents that they

128
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>do report as robberies reporting them as robberies, even if

129
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>they did begin as a shoplifting. So somebody picks up

130
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 2>some stuff in the store and they're starting to leave,

131
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 2>and at this point what happens next is largely in

132
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the hands of the staff or the security at the store.

133
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:21.559
<v Speaker 2>If they stand aside and let the person go, probably

134
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 2>nobody's going to be hurt, nobody's going to be threatened,

135
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and you are not going to have anything that you

136
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 2>could possibly call a robbery. But if somebody decides to intervene,

137
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 2>it might be successful the person puts the stuff down,

138
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.799
<v Speaker 2>but also it could.

139
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Lead to a threat.

140
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 2>It could lead to buffaloing through the person, you know,

141
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 2>the person who's stealing the stuff, kind of like bowls

142
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>over the security guard, punches, the security guard threat pulls

143
00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.399
<v Speaker 2>out a knife, says he has a knife when he

144
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have another knife, and at that point, uh, it

145
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>becomes a robbery. Because robbery is loosely defined as using force, fear,

146
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 2>or intimidation to get property from somebody. It doesn't you know,

147
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to have a gun, you don't have

148
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.759
<v Speaker 2>to point a gun at a person, you don't have

149
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 2>to have a weapon that's why there's robbery, and separately,

150
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:31.759
<v Speaker 2>there's armed robbery. Because some robberies don't have a weapon

151
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and you don't have to touch anybody. There are certain

152
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 2>threats that are enough. And this all goes back to

153
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a guy named Curtis Estes.

154
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Way back in the day.

155
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Curtis Estes tried to leave a Sears store in Vallejo.

156
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 2>He was wearing a down vest and a coat they

157
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't pay for, and an armed security guard, you know,

158
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 2>stopped him in the parking lot. And this guy pulled

159
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.759
<v Speaker 2>out a knife and said linealonar will kill you. And

160
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 2>then he did end up surrendering and he was convicted

161
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>of felony robbery. And then he appealed and said, you

162
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.559
<v Speaker 2>can't convict me of robbery because and it wasn't about

163
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the knife and the threat. His thing was, you can't

164
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.799
<v Speaker 2>convict me of robbery because the guy I threatened it

165
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 2>wasn't his property. He's the security guards for Seers. He's

166
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 2>not the owner of the stuff I was trying to steal.

167
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 2>And the appeals Cauard said no, no, no, no, no.

168
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>You can be the victim of a robbery even if

169
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you don't own the property that somebody's taken for you.

170
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 2>So cops will and DA's will often charge somebody with

171
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>robbery under this standard if it started as a shoplifting

172
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>but the person either threatened violence or became violence, or

173
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>used some kind of force or fear to try to

174
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>get away with the property. And then later on, you know,

175
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 2>secutor can look at it and say, let's knock this

176
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>down to a misdemeanor, or let's dismiss it. You can

177
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>handle these things after the charges have been filed. But

178
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>even when that happens, the LAPD is still going to

179
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>count it as a robbery because to them, it started

180
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 2>as a robbery. Now the accusation that perhaps the LAPD

181
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.519
<v Speaker 2>wants to juke the robbery stats to get more money

182
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.600
<v Speaker 2>or people, I don't think.

183
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the opposite.

184
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>These stats, yes, they're used for funding requests and resource requests,

185
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:43.120
<v Speaker 2>but they're also used to gauge the success of the

186
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>different stations and the leaders of those stations. If I

187
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.799
<v Speaker 2>were a captain in LAPD, I would not want the

188
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 2>robbery numbers to go up. I would want them to

189
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>go down because that's the feather in my cap that

190
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I need career wise, and I certainly wouldn't be looking

191
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 2>to screw around and say things are robberies when there's

192
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>no basis to say that they were robberies. The fact

193
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 2>of the matter is some shopliftings. It's not that some

194
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:17.600
<v Speaker 2>shopliftings are being erroneously counted as robberies, which is what

195
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the La Times article is trying to

196
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.759
<v Speaker 2>get at. I think that's what they're trying to have

197
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:29.399
<v Speaker 2>you come away with. I think it's that some shopliftings

198
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>turn into robberies because the shoplifter is aggressive and the

199
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 2>security guard decides to be aggressive. And I don't feel

200
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 2>like blaming the security guard in a situation like that.

201
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>So when people apply for financial aid to go to college,

202
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:59.039
<v Speaker 2>they fill out a FAFSA, a Free Application for Federal

203
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Student Aid, and it helps you calculate what you might

204
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>be eligible for. And you could get a PEL grant,

205
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>which is a help to go to college that you

206
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 2>don't have to pay back, or you could get a

207
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 2>student loan.

208
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 1>There are other kinds of assistants that are available.

209
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>And there was a problem already with this form where

210
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to make it better, and they did make

211
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.799
<v Speaker 2>it shorter for the twenty twenty three twenty twenty four

212
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:38.039
<v Speaker 2>season financial aid season. But instead there were glitches, there

213
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:45.480
<v Speaker 2>were data entry problems, there were delays. Everybody was frustrated,

214
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:50.480
<v Speaker 2>and according to the Government Accountability Office, this debacle led

215
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.879
<v Speaker 2>to a decline in first time college I'm sorry, in

216
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 2>first time submissions for financial aid to go to college

217
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>of nine percent, literally almost ten percent down because it

218
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 2>was too much of a pain in the keyster. It

219
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 2>looks like they've got most of that worked out, but

220
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 2>now there's a new problem. It doesn't have anything to

221
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 2>do with the form, and it doesn't have anything to

222
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:23.120
<v Speaker 2>do with currently the Department of Education that administers this form.

223
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>It has to do with the fact that a new

224
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 2>administration is coming in for you. See, when you fill

225
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>out the FAFSA, one of the things that wants you

226
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 2>to put down are your parents' Social Security numbers. But

227
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 2>guess what, some parents of US citizen students are not

228
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.639
<v Speaker 2>themselves legally here, so they may not have a Social

229
00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Security number. And now the fear of these kids who

230
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.319
<v Speaker 2>just want to go to college is that if they

231
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 2>apply and they fill out this form, they will be

232
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:17.359
<v Speaker 2>outing a parent as an undocumented person. Now it's not

233
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:24.319
<v Speaker 2>they it shouldn't be that they're afraid because the Higher

234
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Education Act absolutely prohibits the use of whatever you put

235
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 2>on this form for anything other than determining what you're

236
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>eligible for in financial assistance and awarding you that financial assistance.

237
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>So the law would say nobody from immigration should be

238
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:50.720
<v Speaker 2>looking at this information. Nobody should ever know outside of

239
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the Education Department, and even the people inside the Education Department,

240
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 2>they might see the form and they might clock that

241
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe this person since a parent is not

242
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 2>here legally, they would they're not allowed to do anything

243
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>about it, and that then the Department of Education recently

244
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:14.200
<v Speaker 2>said that, oh, you know, we are gonna continue to

245
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.440
<v Speaker 2>protect this, but we have a new administration coming in

246
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and so we now can't really assure you that the

247
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 2>information won't be used for other things. It would be

248
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:31.880
<v Speaker 2>breaking the law as it's currently written for it to happen.

249
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:37.039
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think that anybody it would be surprised

250
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.680
<v Speaker 2>to hear that some law breaking goes on in the

251
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.000
<v Speaker 2>government sometimes. And because of the new administration, because of

252
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 2>the focus on illegal immigration, and because of the promises

253
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 2>of very very aggressive action about it, many people think

254
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.759
<v Speaker 2>it's at least plausible that there will be some kind

255
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.799
<v Speaker 2>of whether it's a formal executive order that the Department

256
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 2>of Education will now share these forms with I don't know,

257
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Customs Enforcement, or whether it will be more of a

258
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.599
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes hey why don't you or whether I

259
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know, ICE agents will show up at the Department

260
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.720
<v Speaker 2>of Education and say, hey, do you mind if we

261
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 2>look at these forms that in some way this will

262
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 2>be used as a resource to identify people who may

263
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:31.799
<v Speaker 2>be deportable, which, you know, there's two things going on here,

264
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.599
<v Speaker 2>because let's say we have we have a person who

265
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 2>is here unlawfully, and we have their child who is

266
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:45.799
<v Speaker 2>here lawfully. So now we have a situation where one

267
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:51.759
<v Speaker 2>person may face a bad consequence, but it's something that

268
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 2>comes with the territory.

269
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:55.079
<v Speaker 1>If you're here.

270
00:19:55.160 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Unlawfully, you really are not generally in entitled to avoid scrutiny.

271
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 2>So you have someone who might get dinged, the parent,

272
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.559
<v Speaker 2>and then there's an argument that well, they knew all along.

273
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.759
<v Speaker 1>That at some point they could be dinged.

274
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 2>There's any number of other ways that the authorities could

275
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.839
<v Speaker 2>become aware of the situation, or maybe they're aware of

276
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.400
<v Speaker 2>it and a current administration doesn't feel like doing anything

277
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.480
<v Speaker 2>about it. But that doesn't entitle you to get the

278
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 2>same treatment from a new administration.

279
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>So that's one thing.

280
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.839
<v Speaker 2>And then you have somebody, the child, who absolutely doesn't

281
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.359
<v Speaker 2>deserve to be hurt this way. They clearly didn't do

282
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.640
<v Speaker 2>anything wrong, and here they are now and they may

283
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.039
<v Speaker 2>not be able to go to college because they're too

284
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:45.880
<v Speaker 2>afraid to ask for financial help that they could get.

285
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 1>So I don't have an answer for you.

286
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't have one except we have to figure out

287
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 2>a way to not let bad things happen to the

288
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 2>people who in no way deserve them, who in no

289
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:08.839
<v Speaker 2>way did anything to make those bad things a possibility.

290
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That's my thought. Members gets you don't need no money

291
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to qualify. Don't bring your check making you're broken.

292
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Christ to kf I am six forty live everywhere on

293
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.319

294
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.599
<v Speaker 2>on Monday. Wayne Resnik here and it is.

295
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Time for members only.

296
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>A series of news stories connected by a by a

297
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:58.279
<v Speaker 2>factor near and dear to men and the people who

298
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:03.839
<v Speaker 2>love them. And uh, I don't know if you heard

299
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 2>about this, but there was a big fracas. Be quiet, serie.

300
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:13.279
<v Speaker 2>I didn't call for you. There was a big fracas

301
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.880
<v Speaker 2>at Mister Chow restaurant. Mister Chow is a Chinese restaurant

302
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Beverly Hills. I've never been here.

303
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 1>That is way way way, way, way way way.

304
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Out of my league, but a lot of celebrities go

305
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 2>to Mister Chow. And one night, right before the holiday

306
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 2>season began, or as it began, Jamie Fox was having

307
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a birthday dinner at Mister Chow and up in the

308
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.160
<v Speaker 2>VIP area that had been rented out by the production

309
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:46.680
<v Speaker 2>company that makes the Jackass movies and TV show, and

310
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.480
<v Speaker 2>they sent a drink down to Jamie Fox for his

311
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.279
<v Speaker 2>birthday and he didn't drink it because he apparently stopped drinking.

312
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.000
<v Speaker 1>But in any event, shortly.

313
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 2>After that, the people up there were like, hey, hey, hey,

314
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:01.519
<v Speaker 2>and somebody the table said hey, they're saying hello to you,

315
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.559
<v Speaker 2>and he looks up and they're all laughing up there.

316
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:09.160
<v Speaker 2>And at this point I'm relating to you Jamie Fox's

317
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:13.759
<v Speaker 2>side of the story, which is heavily denied by the

318
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Jackass people and their attorney. So just that's how I'm

319
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>presenting it. This is what Jamie Fox says, why are

320
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 2>they laughing? And then he realizes that somebody has a

321
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>laser pointer and is projecting a penis on Jamie Fox's

322
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 2>table at mister Chow, I didn't know such things existed,

323
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:37.160
<v Speaker 2>but I.

324
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Guess they do.

325
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.240
<v Speaker 2>And his family was there and he did not like

326
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.240
<v Speaker 2>that one little bit, and apparently he went upstairs and

327
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.960
<v Speaker 2>there was a big, tense confrontation. And that's what Jamie

328
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Fox says. But an attorney representing the Jackass Fellas says

329
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.440
<v Speaker 2>that his version of events is very, very wrong and

330
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 2>inaccurate and unfair. So who knows what really happened except

331
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't see anybody denying that they did project a

332
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:13.880
<v Speaker 2>laser penis onto Jamie Fox's birthday dinner table. So that's

333
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:17.119
<v Speaker 2>just people saying this is what I say happen to me.

334
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 1>That's not science of any kind. Here is science.

335
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Here's a study that is the opposite of what some

336
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 2>people thought. From nineteen forty two until twenty twenty one,

337
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:38.160
<v Speaker 2>that time period, researchers looked at over fifty five thousand

338
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:43.160
<v Speaker 2>men from all over the world, all ages, who took

339
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:47.599
<v Speaker 2>part in a study where their penis size was measured

340
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 2>both at rest and I guess battle ready because they

341
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>wanted to see how this has changed over the last

342
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty years, whatever it's been now A lot of experts,

343
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:08.279
<v Speaker 2>including this guy up at Stanford Medicine, he's a professor

344
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>of urology. He said, well, what they're gonna find out

345
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:16.640
<v Speaker 2>is it's gotten smaller because we've seen, for example, declines

346
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:20.799
<v Speaker 2>in sperm count with men. We know there's more environmental

347
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:25.000
<v Speaker 2>exposure to chemicals, pesticides, even hygiene products now have things

348
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:31.119
<v Speaker 2>in them that affect our hormone systems, and there's endocrine

349
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:34.720
<v Speaker 2>disrupting chemicals, and so the bottom line is, you know,

350
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Speaker 2>men have less sperm, and I assume the thing is

351
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>getting smaller.

352
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 1>But the results are the opposite once you.

353
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Adjust for geographic region and age and the total subject population.

354
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 2>This study found that battle ready length has gone up

355
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty four percent in the last twenty nine years, the

356
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine years covered by the study, which seems amazing,

357
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 2>which seems like happy news to go up from an average.

358
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>By the way, and men, I'm gonna tell you this

359
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 2>because I'm telling you never ever ever be worried or nervous,

360
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 2>or or or feel inadequate, because we are talking about

361
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 2>average battle ready size increasing from four point eight inches

362
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:36.039
<v Speaker 2>to six.

363
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're fine. I promise you're fine.

364
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 2>But it's not happy news because all of the experts

365
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 2>are saying, well, even if it's the opposite result of

366
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 2>what we thought, it's still for the same reasons. We

367
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 2>still say this is happening because of all the chemical

368
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 2>exposure and the impacts on reproductive health. And maybe this

369
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 2>is me now jumping off from the study and wondering if,

370
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:16.000
<v Speaker 2>from an evolutionary standpoint, if you become less fertile, does

371
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 2>the body try to compensate for that by increasing the

372
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 2>size of the delivery system, even though I don't see

373
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.160
<v Speaker 2>how that would actually help. And also, thirty years is

374
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a very short time for an evolutionary effect to take place.

375
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.359
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, that's what they found. And now I leave

376
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 2>you with this. Be happy that you are not. Be

377
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 2>happy that you're not a super hot male porn star. Yes,

378
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.480
<v Speaker 2>they make a lot of money. Josh Moore is one

379
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:49.519
<v Speaker 2>of them. He's one of the leading male performers in

380
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the adult entertainment industry. And he makes like five hundred

381
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars a year on only fans, and he jet

382
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.000
<v Speaker 2>said around the world, and he lives in a fancy

383
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.680
<v Speaker 2>house and you may be like man, that would be

384
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the life, except he has to pay five hundred dollars

385
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:16.480
<v Speaker 2>a month for insurance for you know what, Chefs have

386
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:22.079
<v Speaker 2>life insurance. Actors often ensure their faces. There's been some

387
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.440
<v Speaker 2>celebrities who were famous for their legs, for example, that

388
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:29.039
<v Speaker 2>had million dollar insurance policies on their legs. And if

389
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.039
<v Speaker 2>you work in the adult industry, you know what you.

390
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Need to ensure.

391
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>He knows it. He needs to five hundred bucks a month.
