Chris Merrill fills in for Bill this week. As some Eaton residents are running out of money to stay in temporary housing, they are returning to their unsafe living conditions The Internal Revenue Service is nearing an agreement to allow immigration officials to use tax data to confirm the names and addresses of people suspected of being in the country illegally, according to four people familiar with the matter, culminating weeks of negotiations over using the tax system to support President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign. An opening date has not been announced, but Tesla’s all-night diner, theater and charging station is clearly on its way. Which means that the company’s leader, Elon Musk, is about to enter the hospitality business. American women have never been this resigned to staying single. They are responding to major demographic shifts, including huge and growing gender gaps in economic and educational attainment, political affiliation and beliefs about what a family should look like.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're list Saints KFI AM six forty. The Bill handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Here's Chris Merrill. Thanks bring it out. It's pleasure being
with you. It is an honor as always to fill
in for Bill. You can listen any time on demand
of the iHeartRadio app. All Right, for some of you, you
don't have to imagine. For others, I want you to
(00:27):
think about what would have happened if you were evacuated
during one of the fires. You would go find temporary
shelter somewhere else. Right, So, let's suppose you live in
an apartment complex and the fires hit and they say
get out, Well they getting's good, and you do, and
fortunately the fire didn't decimate your apartment complex. But that
(00:48):
doesn't mean that it was spared from all the smoke.
It doesn't mean that it was spared from the power outages.
It doesn't mean that it was spared from the gas
shutoffs or other damage that was done. But now you've
been saying in a hotel for the last two months.
How long could you stay in a hotel without running
out of money? Well, I don't think I could do
(01:09):
two months. I think I would run out of money fast,
so then what do you do. That is the situation
that some people are facing that survived the Eating fire.
Fox eleven was talking about that.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
More than two months after the Eaton Canyon fire. Some
people in the fire zone are back home, but not
because they want to be, because they have no place
else to go. And they say the conditions in their
Altadena apartments are deplorable. But Fox leven's Laura Diaz listening
to them tonight. She's in Alta, Dina, Laura, Laura, Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, Alex. People living in this apartment complex. You see
right behind me.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I can't see. It's radio.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
They say they are fed up with how they've been treated,
and today they went public.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
We just want to be able to shower with hot water.
We want to be able to connect our heaters and
feel warm at night.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh who needs that?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
We want to be able to stay here and not
fear that, you know, someone's gonna come and kick us out.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Dozens of protesters and tenants held signs in front of
their apartment complex on Figaro would drive in Alzadena and
Thursday afternoon and demanded change.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Did they get to fight?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
And we're choosing to say because this is our home.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
They're angered because they say after the Eaton Canyon fire,
nobody has helped them. They're invisible until now.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
At Thursday's conference, leaders of the NAACP as well as
labor stood in solidarity. But the people who call this
complex home had the most urgent message. People like Brenda,
who's lived in this apartment building her whole life. She
showed us the burned out debris, untouched since the January firestorm,
(02:55):
still sitting feet from the complex. She worries about living
in a contam dominated buildings since the fire. Yeah too,
the building owner is not collecting rent. But that's no excuse,
says Brenda.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All Right, so there's a little living there for free.
It's a domp, but it's free.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Okay, living rent for you here doesn't mean that we're
living the best life. Well no, like I said, we
don't have power on that side of the building. We
don't have gus. We're not living luxuriously.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Tenants told us half the building doesn't have power inside,
so they hook up to an outside source just to
get things done.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I mean, it's basically worse than a homeless shelter, right,
at least a homeless shelter. You've got running water and
heat and power.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
And then this man who's living in a motel with
his family, which he says he simply cannot afford, showed
a smoke damage and a gaping hole in the ceiling
he said was triggered by the fire.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He's too afraid to return.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
But once again he says the building will not help.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
All right, so he says that the building's doing anything.
Nobody's assisting them. They're not getting the gas back on.
The building says, yeah, we are. We're doing everything we can.
We haven't done anything. When we're not charging your rent,
you know, it's you're not you're not being billed. We're
not you're not getting any services right now. We're trying
to get services turned back on. We're trying to get
things cleaned up. But in the meantime, we're not charging
(04:18):
the rent. Nobody's kicking me out. So they're asking for
a little give and take here, you know, they're they're
basically saying, you get what you pay for. The people
are saying, I can't live like this. Imagine. I can't
even imagine the situation that the gentleman's experiencing, where he
can't go back to his apartment because there's a hole
(04:39):
in the ceiling. I guess, uh, But he's living in
a motel room with his family. I don't like going
on vacation with my family to stay with them in
a hotel or a motel room for one night. I
can't even imagine two months. The hell that these people
must be experiencing is unimagined to me. So my heart
(05:01):
goes out to them, and I wish that there was
something more that I could do. I can't. I just
wish there was something else that could be done. This
is a This is a horrible turn of events. Meanwhile,
Pasadena Unified is saying that so much of what's going
on is all because of so Cal Edison, and they've
(05:22):
had enough.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
The Pasadena Unified School District is suing SoCal Edison over
the Eton fire. The school district wants compensation to cover
for damages caused by that wildfire, along with the thousands
of homes and businesses, several schools where damaged or destroyed
of A lawsuit also claims that so called Edison was
negligent and violated health and safety codes.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
The damage caused to the school district is significant. The
school district had damaged and destruction to at least five
of their schools, including many elementary schools, so there is
a lot of damage to the school distric property.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
And then a state that the KTLA five.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
So Cal Edison says it is reviewing the lawsuit and
will respond through the legal process.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And still is there any doubt that there will be
more wildfires that will be the responsibility of the power
companies in the future. And you know, we set up
this fund, you have another fee on your bill. You
open your bill and you've got this, Oops, we burned
down your house fee on your bill. That happened after
(06:30):
the campfire that PG and E started in northern California
that did a tremendous amount of damage. So the state said, wow,
we can't let that happen. So let's put together an
escrow account effectively, where all of the major power companies
pay into this escrow so that the next time they
(06:52):
burn something down, there'll be twenty I think it's twenty
one billion dollars to help pay for that, to help
pay for what they just burned down. So that when
the schools come looking for so Cal Edison to reimburse them.
Socalo Edison can say, oh, I guess we're gonna have
to tap into this this this fund. What you have
to keep in mind is that whenever you see a
(07:13):
fire and we go, that is the responsibility of so
Cal Edison, or that is the responsibility of UH. If
it's in San Diego, you'd say SDG and E. If
it's Northern California, you say it's PG and E Pacific
Gas Electric if it's if it's any of these places.
Whenever you see a fire and it's their responsibility, rest
assured you're paying for it, one way or another. What
(07:34):
California did after that campfires we set up a pre
payment account where they pre pay for the next fire
that they're going to start. Because in the past, what
would happen is they would burn down a town and
then they would say, wow, we're responsible for that. We're
gonna have to raise our rates in order to pay
for it. So now they just they don't raise their rates.
(07:59):
They charge you a fee to pre pay for when
they burn your house down, but one way or another,
they're not paying for it. Shareholders are not going to
see a reduction in their in their dividends, you're paying
for it. So whenever you see a fire, just rest assured.
Know that however much damage is done, it's coming out
(08:21):
of your pocket one way or another. The people who
have come to this country without documents oftentimes want to
stay here. And I know that the media likes to
cover this and the politicians like to rail on the
gang members who don't have documents, But those are the
(08:41):
minority of people who are here. The majority of people
who are here without documents came into the country and
they want it because they want to be here, not
to raise hell, but because they want to have a
better life, and they feel like they're safer in the
United States. They feel like there's more opportunity in the
United States. All the reasons that we say the uniteds
it's a great place to be, are the reasons that
people want to be here. So they come to this country,
(09:04):
they don't have documents, and they say, how do I
fast track things? Well, you may have learned over the
last few months, if you have money, you can fast
track things. We have a certain visa program. It used
to be like a million dollars. Now President Trump wants
to make it five million dollars. But if you're willing
to give us money, we'll put you in the fast lane.
(09:25):
It's not at all onlike Disney. If you have enough
to pay, you can go to the front of the line.
If you don't have a million dollars, then you have
to go through this arduous process. Sometimes you end up
going back to your home country. I have a cow
worker at my real job who came here as a
as an infant, was a DOCCA recipient, wanted to get citizenship.
(09:46):
It meant going back to Mexico for I don't know,
a year and a half or two years, to a
country she had never she doesn't remember ever living in,
but she had to go live there for a year
and a half or two years. That was even after
she married somebody who's a US citizen, and to go
through the process. So it's a long drawn out or deal.
(10:07):
One of the things that can really delay you is
if you are in the United States and you're not
playing by the rules. You have to play by the rules. Example,
if you're here and you don't have documents and you
are you rob a grocery store or a gas station.
That's a quick way to get out and probably not
(10:28):
be let back in, but not just breaking the rules.
What if while you're here, you make sure that you're
abiding by all of the other US rules and customs.
For instance, you don't have a Social Security number, but
if you pay your taxes and you file your tax returns,
that may fast track you, or it certainly won't delay
(10:50):
you for not doing it. You can say I'm going
to pay my taxes. I can show that I want
to be here, I want to be a part of
the American system, I want to contribute, and you're able
to demonstrate that. But what if the IRS starts letting
ICE know who's here without that social number? Are you
(11:10):
likely to quote unquote do things the right way? Probably not,
but the IRS says, not our problem.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
The IRS may soon be turning over information on suspected
undocumented immigrants to ICE officials. The Washington Post says the
two agencies are close to a data sharing agreement in
support of the government's mass deportation campaign. It would reportedly
allow the IRS to.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Use a data sharing agreement. I wonder if that goes
both ways, where ICE knows that someone is here and
so they make sure that the IRS can charge the
taxes and the IRS knows that somebody has been paying taxes,
but they know documents, so they Why are we deporting
people that are paying taxes. That's like cutting off your
nose despite your face.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
It would reportedly allow the IRS to use tax data
to confirm the names and addresses that people suspected of
being in the country illegally. The IRS allows immigrants without
legal status to file income tax returns with individual tax numbers.
According to new research, Though undocumented immigrants contributed to more
than twenty five billion dollars in Social Security taxes in
(12:14):
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well they're not going through now, No, they're not going
because if I pay taxes, it's like it's like announcing
where I am and then and then the ice comes
in and rounds me up and sends me out of here.
I don't understand why those would be the priority we
were always told. And I don't care if it's Trump
(12:37):
or if it's Obama or any politician, and I think
most of us agree. In fact, Elon Musk visited the
border I think last year or the year before, and
when he was there, he solved the immigration crisis. He said,
we should let people into this country who want to
be here, and we should kick out the bad people.
That's what he said, and I thought, my god, why
(12:57):
didn't anybody come up with that before. So we have
people that are paying taxes. They're flying under the radar
in most other ways, but they're trying to be upstanding citizens.
They're paying taxes, and we're saying we don't want your money.
Get on this plane, go to Venezuela. Does that make
(13:18):
it make a ton of sense to you, because I
gotta tell you those those would be at the very
bottom of my priority list. The top would be the
gang members. That's top priority. Gang members and serial killers,
they're gonna be at the top of my list. And
people who wear crocs, they're gonna be at the very
(13:40):
top of the list of people who need to be
deported first. And then at the very bottom are nice
families who have been here for thirty years and are
paying taxes. They're at the bottom of the people I
want to deport. But they're also the easiest to find
to go. You know, run posse over there and go,
(14:01):
we found you because you gave us your address, and
here you are, and smile for the camera. This is
gonna be on the Nightly News. It's good for our
it's good for our campaign finance fundraising, So they move
up the list because they're easy. We do this because
it's easy is the way it's gonna work out. Hey,
Speaking of Elon Musk, a number of people continue to
(14:25):
protest Elon Musk, and they're doing it by attacking teslas.
This is counterproductive because you're making yourself look like a lunatic. Fact,
if you are attacking someone's car because you're mad about
the car manufacturer and what they're doing in Washington, DC,
(14:47):
that's a stretch because they don't own that car any longer.
The person who purchased that car owns it. And what
good are you really doing? Are you teaching them a lesson?
If if you see a Tesla on the road, do
you instantly assume that person supports Elon Musk. I mean,
(15:09):
we've got to the point where people have to put
bumper stickers on the cars now that say I bought
this before Elon went crazy. But what about the people
that are selling their Teslas right now because somebody's buying it.
I mean, they're getting good deals on use Tesla's right
now because so many people want out because other people
keep attacking their cars. So you're talking about people who
(15:32):
are the second or third or even fourth owner of
a Tesla and you're attacking them for what fascism? It
doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Now. I do
know that we have people that are attacking Tesla dealerships.
Why why you're not attacking Trump Tower. You're not smashing
(15:54):
old bottles of Trump wine. You're not buying up Make
America Great hats and burning them an effigy. You're not
buying those sweet Trump tennis shoes. Man, those don't look
anything like a pair of old converts that have been
spray painted with gold paint at all. You're not doing that.
(16:15):
Why are you attacking these cars? Doesn't make a whole
lot of sense.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I understand not wanting to support the business. I get
that that's a boycott that's as old as America itself.
I mean, for Pete's sake, we're here because we boycotted Tea,
So I get the whole boycott thing. But maybe we
don't attack car owners because I don't think that that
(16:40):
car owner who may or may not have been aligned
with your political ideology before you attack their car. I
don't think they're gonna say, oh my gosh. You know,
I didn't really pay attention to Elon Musk before I
bought this car because I wanted an electric vehicle and
(17:01):
this was one of the good ones on the market,
So that's why I bought it. But now that you've
spray painted it with a swastika, oh, I see the
error of my ways. Now. I know I want to
make sure I vote for whomever you tell me to.
You're not winning people over that way. On the other hand,
Elon Musk is also not really getting the He's not
(17:25):
really getting the message either. So if you're Elon Musk,
do you decide that you're going to start a new
business in California of all places? I mean, you pulled
your headquarters out of California, you went to Texas, But
now you want to start a new business in California.
That's exactly what's happening. As we can now go to
(17:46):
the Tesla diner.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Elon Musk visited the Pentagon today. He reportedly had meetings
with senior US military leaders as an advisor to President Trump. Today,
the president said war plans should not be shared with
Musk because.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Of its get ahead of the diner parts.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Now, Musk is about to roll out a new business
Ventereio in Hollywood. It's a twenty four hour diner and
drive in theater where Tesla drivers can charge their car
as well eating a burger. Well must be welcome given
all the controversy that he's creating. In Washington, Holly asked
kay Cal news reporter Nicole Comstock to find out Nicole
to find out what tonight?
Speaker 10 (18:23):
Okay, that's here, Nicole, Nicole, Well, Pat, you have to
admit it looks a lot like a UFO.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I mean I can't see it because radio. But that's
typically not thought of as a great design.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
But some people say, even though they love that signature
or Tesla style, they don't want to take this ride
with Elon Musk anymore now that he's involved with DOGE.
But other people say, you know what, Tesla makes great
products and experiences and everything in life doesn't always have
to be about politics.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, it really doesn't, although Elon kind of invited that
in Uh, just real quick before we continue with the report.
As far as making great products, did you see that
almost all the cyber trucks just got recalled? Oh, first
of all, I was a big fan of the models.
I think it is a great car. It needs to
be revamped. It's been like ten plus years. They need
(19:17):
to put out a new model. You know. It's guys,
we've got a revamp, right. You can't. All cars go
through a revamp about every eight to ten years, So
you got to get on that. But the cyber truck,
I just can't figure out the market for the cyber truck.
If you are a truck driver because you need a truck,
(19:38):
you don't get the cyber truck. You want to pick
up You want something that's got a gas engine in it.
You want something that's not going to deplete the battery
right away when you start towing heavy stuff. It's not
better in any utilitarian way than a traditional pickup truck.
(19:59):
So who is it marketed to. It's marketed to city
dwellers that want to feel tough and drive a truck,
and you see them on the freeways. Maybe you're one
of them. You know exactly what I'm talking about. So
it's marketed to those people. But did those people want
to spend one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars on
the electric truck? Because Honestly, if you're trying to feel
(20:22):
tough on the freeway, nothing says I'm tough like we
When you sound like a golf cart, you don't sound macho.
And if you have an extra one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars, I don't think you're spending it on
something that sounds that way. I just don't. I don't,
so I don't know who the market is. But for
(20:44):
the forty se oni thousand that have been sold, they're
being recalled. Cyber Truck's first recall of twenty twenty five
was announced, but last week, I guess because the trim
panel is attached with glue and falls off. I thought
this truck was supposed to be indestructible. That is, unless
(21:07):
I guess you have solvent and then it all falls apart.
All right, continue here. What do we know about the diner.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
It's a new concept dinner on a drive in movie
while you charge your car. The Tesla Diner is coming
sometime soon to Santa Monica Boulevard. But is Hollywood hungry
for another Elon Musk business now that he's also running Doge.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I don't want to say anything. I'm sorry because it's
all stop. I love that they took somebody that didn't
want to comment. Let's put this in the story. I
have nothing to say. Good. We're going to use that.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
The decause the persis the politics.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm neutral. I'm gonna say neutral, and I leave it
up to people to decide a lot of them. Yeah,
I leave enough for people to decide to do whatever
you want. I do think that we're going to see
more of these sorts of cons It's not necessarily from
Elon Musk, but as more and more people buy electric vehicles,
and as more and more charging stations become available, I
(22:09):
think we're going to see more traditional gas stations adding
electric charging stations to their parking lot, which should be
relatively simple to do. It's not like you have to
have all this the different pump infrastructure like you do now.
You don't have to have these massive tanks, and you
can line the outside of your gas station parking lot
with charging stations where you already have parking for your
(22:32):
convenience store. You can put charging stations right in front
of those and plug cars in. Now, how do you
get people to spend more time there? Because the more
time they spend in your your service station, or your
gas station, whatever it is, your convenience store. The more
money they're going to spend. And we know that it
might take twenty or thirty minutes to charge that car
at least to get up to your eighty percent charge
to get on the road and get on your way.
(22:52):
So how do you get people to spend more time there?
I think we're going to see some more imaginative development,
some innovation at some of these gas stations where they
want to keep people around. Could be, could be some
sort of a movie theater or a lounge, could be,
could be a little casino type games. I guess you're
(23:12):
gonna see more and more of this, just watch for it.
American woman doesn't want to have anything to do with you. No, no, no, no.
The kids these days are giving up. They're giving up.
And look, I raised one of them. My daughter's twenty seven.
She is a childless cat lady. Yep. And gone women
(23:37):
and their independence. And then they start to making their
own money. They make as much as men next, and
then they start getting social lives, and then and then
all of a sudden, they they don't wanna make babies anymore.
And America is in decline. Indeed, headline Wall Street Journal,
American women are giving up on marriage? Why is the
(23:59):
big question? It seems that American women are staying single.
They've never been so resigned to saying single. According to
the Walls Free Journal, they are responding to major demographic shifts,
including a huge and growing gender gap in economic and
educational attainment, political affiliation, of beliefs about what a family
should look like. They say, the numbers aren't netting out.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
That.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
From Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center at the
American Enterprise Institute, which is a conservative thing tank, he says,
more women than men are attending college, more women than
men are buying houses, and more women than men are
focusing on their friendships and careers before they worry about
dating and marriage. Indeed, childless cat ladies all over the place.
(24:48):
Vox had a story that was somewhat similar. They spoke
with a hold On, hold On, I'm going to get
to this social scientists. Her name is Alice Evans, and
they asked her why do we have why do we
have fewer women that are that are getting married? And
she pointed out the reasons for getting married in the past,
(25:11):
and what are they and in many cases, what we're
talking about is love, money, or respect. And she breaks
that down to say that some societies, if you are
not married. In fact, you've probably heard the stories of
the old spinsters, right, if you're not married by a
certain age, then what's wrong with you? Or you get
(25:32):
married because you fall in love and I want to
be with that person forever, or you get married because
it is financially secure to be married, and so that's
one of the reasons that people do that. In the end,
women are saying, I want I don't I don't need
your money. I'm making my own. I don't care what
you think of me. So the respect isn't not a thing,
(25:52):
and they're not really focusing on finding love because they're
busy making their money in earning respect. The other reason
that that fewer people are getting married. This may come
as a surprise. It's a cell phone. Yeah, who's got
time to date? When you've got TikTok videos? You could
(26:12):
be watching My God. I could go out on a
date with some dude and he could try to feel
me up at a movie theater and it could be awkward.
And then even if I did like the guy, I'd
have to meet his family and that would be even
more awkward. But I could just sit here and watch
TikTok and then I could watch Netflix, and if I
(26:33):
get lonely, I could watch a different video, the kind
of video that helps me not feel quite so lonely anymore.
Garry Hoffman knows there are plenty of videos on the
Internet that will help you feel not so lonely anymore.
Speaker 11 (26:51):
Well, most of those have to do with the puppies
for me, is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah? That's interesting. Yea, mine is not so much the puppy.
When I feel lonely, I there's another site. What is that, codo?
Do you know what that? It's another site that Yeah,
that's it. Thanks. I appreciate the assist on that new puppy. Yeah,
and I don't feel lonely anymore. So that's why women
(27:17):
are not getting married either, because they have Netflix to
talk puppies and porn hub.
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Well you mentioned your daughter. Do you you want her
to have a merit, right?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
You want her to go through life with somebody so
not really, you don't care what I don't care so much?
Should I care? Should I be one of the.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
My daughter's twenty two I hope that she finds a
guy at some point or or ifoever.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I wanted to find companionship that kind of thing. I mean,
I don't want her spendy all the time looking at puppies. Yeah, no,
I don't want that. Uh. My oldest son, he's thirty
and he's got a His girlfriend is great for him.
I hope that. I hope he doesn't screw that up.
But I don't want anybody to rush anything. It's shipping parents.
I didn't get I was twenty.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
Six when I guess that's the thing men need somebody
like men need a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's true. I mean, and our mothers are not there
to do our loans.
Speaker 12 (28:10):
Exactly, you know, just basic things to where you're not
living like a teenager.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Well, we don't know what what closed used the cold exactly?
The right A guide? A guide is what you need
with boobs, Well, we need a boob caddie.
Speaker 12 (28:27):
I need a life. Spa is what you're saying with
boobs with boo lord, if you don't like those, that's
fine too. Maybe it's a penis.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Okay, that's because it never gets old. What do you
guys got coming up? On the Garyan chair.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
We're going to talk about a lot of stuff, of course,
the big the big group of people that are now
going to be going to Greenland and apparently putting a
giant American flag in the ground right when they get.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Off the airplane.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
That there's a light bulb that's been burning for a
million years and it is still burning here in California.
It's a fun little story.
Speaker 12 (29:03):
I love the story about the JFK files and people
are going, wait a minute, that's that's my grandpa's name.
Speaker 11 (29:09):
He was in a CIA.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
It's very cool. I'll watch that movie. It's still no
Chuck Bears though, right we still know the Gong show.
Guys still not in there. Huh too obvious to all
You're right, You're right, all right, Gary Shannon coming up next.
I'll be back tomorrow. Guys, have a great show later.
Man was great talking with you, all right, Gary Shannon.
Next to It's KFI AM six forty. I'm Chris Merrill
and for Bill handleback at you tomorrow morning. We're live
(29:33):
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I you've been listening to the Bill handle Show. Catch
my show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're list Saints KFI AM six forty. The Bill handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Here's Chris Merrill. Thanks bring it out. It's pleasure being
with you. It is an honor as always to fill
in for Bill. You can listen any time on demand
of the iHeartRadio app. All Right, for some of you, you
don't have to imagine. For others, I want you to
(00:27):
think about what would have happened if you were evacuated
during one of the fires. You would go find temporary
shelter somewhere else. Right, So, let's suppose you live in
an apartment complex and the fires hit and they say
get out, Well they getting's good, and you do, and
fortunately the fire didn't decimate your apartment complex. But that
(00:48):
doesn't mean that it was spared from all the smoke.
It doesn't mean that it was spared from the power outages.
It doesn't mean that it was spared from the gas
shutoffs or other damage that was done. But now you've
been saying in a hotel for the last two months.
How long could you stay in a hotel without running
out of money? Well, I don't think I could do
(01:09):
two months. I think I would run out of money fast,
so then what do you do. That is the situation
that some people are facing that survived the Eating fire.
Fox eleven was talking about that.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
More than two months after the Eaton Canyon fire. Some
people in the fire zone are back home, but not
because they want to be, because they have no place
else to go. And they say the conditions in their
Altadena apartments are deplorable. But Fox leven's Laura Diaz listening
to them tonight. She's in Alta, Dina, Laura, Laura, Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, Alex. People living in this apartment complex. You see
right behind me.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I can't see. It's radio.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
They say they are fed up with how they've been treated,
and today they went public.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
We just want to be able to shower with hot water.
We want to be able to connect our heaters and
feel warm at night.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh who needs that?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
We want to be able to stay here and not
fear that, you know, someone's gonna come and kick us out.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Dozens of protesters and tenants held signs in front of
their apartment complex on Figaro would drive in Alzadena and
Thursday afternoon and demanded change.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Did they get to fight?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
And we're choosing to say because this is our home.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
They're angered because they say after the Eaton Canyon fire,
nobody has helped them. They're invisible until now.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
At Thursday's conference, leaders of the NAACP as well as
labor stood in solidarity. But the people who call this
complex home had the most urgent message. People like Brenda,
who's lived in this apartment building her whole life. She
showed us the burned out debris, untouched since the January firestorm,
(02:55):
still sitting feet from the complex. She worries about living
in a contam dominated buildings since the fire. Yeah too,
the building owner is not collecting rent. But that's no excuse,
says Brenda.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All Right, so there's a little living there for free.
It's a domp, but it's free.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Okay, living rent for you here doesn't mean that we're
living the best life. Well no, like I said, we
don't have power on that side of the building. We
don't have gus. We're not living luxuriously.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Tenants told us half the building doesn't have power inside,
so they hook up to an outside source just to
get things done.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I mean, it's basically worse than a homeless shelter, right,
at least a homeless shelter. You've got running water and
heat and power.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
And then this man who's living in a motel with
his family, which he says he simply cannot afford, showed
a smoke damage and a gaping hole in the ceiling
he said was triggered by the fire.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He's too afraid to return.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
But once again he says the building will not help.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
All right, so he says that the building's doing anything.
Nobody's assisting them. They're not getting the gas back on.
The building says, yeah, we are. We're doing everything we can.
We haven't done anything. When we're not charging your rent,
you know, it's you're not you're not being billed. We're
not you're not getting any services right now. We're trying
to get services turned back on. We're trying to get
things cleaned up. But in the meantime, we're not charging
(04:18):
the rent. Nobody's kicking me out. So they're asking for
a little give and take here, you know, they're they're
basically saying, you get what you pay for. The people
are saying, I can't live like this. Imagine. I can't
even imagine the situation that the gentleman's experiencing, where he
can't go back to his apartment because there's a hole
(04:39):
in the ceiling. I guess, uh, But he's living in
a motel room with his family. I don't like going
on vacation with my family to stay with them in
a hotel or a motel room for one night. I
can't even imagine two months. The hell that these people
must be experiencing is unimagined to me. So my heart
(05:01):
goes out to them, and I wish that there was
something more that I could do. I can't. I just
wish there was something else that could be done. This
is a This is a horrible turn of events. Meanwhile,
Pasadena Unified is saying that so much of what's going
on is all because of so Cal Edison, and they've
(05:22):
had enough.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
The Pasadena Unified School District is suing SoCal Edison over
the Eton fire. The school district wants compensation to cover
for damages caused by that wildfire, along with the thousands
of homes and businesses, several schools where damaged or destroyed
of A lawsuit also claims that so called Edison was
negligent and violated health and safety codes.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
The damage caused to the school district is significant. The
school district had damaged and destruction to at least five
of their schools, including many elementary schools, so there is
a lot of damage to the school distric property.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
And then a state that the KTLA five.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
So Cal Edison says it is reviewing the lawsuit and
will respond through the legal process.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And still is there any doubt that there will be
more wildfires that will be the responsibility of the power
companies in the future. And you know, we set up
this fund, you have another fee on your bill. You
open your bill and you've got this, Oops, we burned
down your house fee on your bill. That happened after
(06:30):
the campfire that PG and E started in northern California
that did a tremendous amount of damage. So the state said, wow,
we can't let that happen. So let's put together an
escrow account effectively, where all of the major power companies
pay into this escrow so that the next time they
(06:52):
burn something down, there'll be twenty I think it's twenty
one billion dollars to help pay for that, to help
pay for what they just burned down. So that when
the schools come looking for so Cal Edison to reimburse them.
Socalo Edison can say, oh, I guess we're gonna have
to tap into this this this fund. What you have
to keep in mind is that whenever you see a
(07:13):
fire and we go, that is the responsibility of so
Cal Edison, or that is the responsibility of UH. If
it's in San Diego, you'd say SDG and E. If
it's Northern California, you say it's PG and E Pacific
Gas Electric if it's if it's any of these places.
Whenever you see a fire and it's their responsibility, rest
assured you're paying for it, one way or another. What
(07:34):
California did after that campfires we set up a pre
payment account where they pre pay for the next fire
that they're going to start. Because in the past, what
would happen is they would burn down a town and
then they would say, wow, we're responsible for that. We're
gonna have to raise our rates in order to pay
for it. So now they just they don't raise their rates.
(07:59):
They charge you a fee to pre pay for when
they burn your house down, but one way or another,
they're not paying for it. Shareholders are not going to
see a reduction in their in their dividends, you're paying
for it. So whenever you see a fire, just rest assured.
Know that however much damage is done, it's coming out
(08:21):
of your pocket one way or another. The people who
have come to this country without documents oftentimes want to
stay here. And I know that the media likes to
cover this and the politicians like to rail on the
gang members who don't have documents, But those are the
(08:41):
minority of people who are here. The majority of people
who are here without documents came into the country and
they want it because they want to be here, not
to raise hell, but because they want to have a
better life, and they feel like they're safer in the
United States. They feel like there's more opportunity in the
United States. All the reasons that we say the uniteds
it's a great place to be, are the reasons that
people want to be here. So they come to this country,
(09:04):
they don't have documents, and they say, how do I
fast track things? Well, you may have learned over the
last few months, if you have money, you can fast
track things. We have a certain visa program. It used
to be like a million dollars. Now President Trump wants
to make it five million dollars. But if you're willing
to give us money, we'll put you in the fast lane.
(09:25):
It's not at all onlike Disney. If you have enough
to pay, you can go to the front of the line.
If you don't have a million dollars, then you have
to go through this arduous process. Sometimes you end up
going back to your home country. I have a cow
worker at my real job who came here as a
as an infant, was a DOCCA recipient, wanted to get citizenship.
(09:46):
It meant going back to Mexico for I don't know,
a year and a half or two years, to a
country she had never she doesn't remember ever living in,
but she had to go live there for a year
and a half or two years. That was even after
she married somebody who's a US citizen, and to go
through the process. So it's a long drawn out or deal.
(10:07):
One of the things that can really delay you is
if you are in the United States and you're not
playing by the rules. You have to play by the rules. Example,
if you're here and you don't have documents and you
are you rob a grocery store or a gas station.
That's a quick way to get out and probably not
(10:28):
be let back in, but not just breaking the rules.
What if while you're here, you make sure that you're
abiding by all of the other US rules and customs.
For instance, you don't have a Social Security number, but
if you pay your taxes and you file your tax returns,
that may fast track you, or it certainly won't delay
(10:50):
you for not doing it. You can say I'm going
to pay my taxes. I can show that I want
to be here, I want to be a part of
the American system, I want to contribute, and you're able
to demonstrate that. But what if the IRS starts letting
ICE know who's here without that social number? Are you
(11:10):
likely to quote unquote do things the right way? Probably not,
but the IRS says, not our problem.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
The IRS may soon be turning over information on suspected
undocumented immigrants to ICE officials. The Washington Post says the
two agencies are close to a data sharing agreement in
support of the government's mass deportation campaign. It would reportedly
allow the IRS to.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Use a data sharing agreement. I wonder if that goes
both ways, where ICE knows that someone is here and
so they make sure that the IRS can charge the
taxes and the IRS knows that somebody has been paying taxes,
but they know documents, so they Why are we deporting
people that are paying taxes. That's like cutting off your
nose despite your face.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
It would reportedly allow the IRS to use tax data
to confirm the names and addresses that people suspected of
being in the country illegally. The IRS allows immigrants without
legal status to file income tax returns with individual tax numbers.
According to new research, Though undocumented immigrants contributed to more
than twenty five billion dollars in Social Security taxes in
(12:14):
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well they're not going through now, No, they're not going
because if I pay taxes, it's like it's like announcing
where I am and then and then the ice comes
in and rounds me up and sends me out of here.
I don't understand why those would be the priority we
were always told. And I don't care if it's Trump
(12:37):
or if it's Obama or any politician, and I think
most of us agree. In fact, Elon Musk visited the
border I think last year or the year before, and
when he was there, he solved the immigration crisis. He said,
we should let people into this country who want to
be here, and we should kick out the bad people.
That's what he said, and I thought, my god, why
(12:57):
didn't anybody come up with that before. So we have
people that are paying taxes. They're flying under the radar
in most other ways, but they're trying to be upstanding citizens.
They're paying taxes, and we're saying we don't want your money.
Get on this plane, go to Venezuela. Does that make
(13:18):
it make a ton of sense to you, because I
gotta tell you those those would be at the very
bottom of my priority list. The top would be the
gang members. That's top priority. Gang members and serial killers,
they're gonna be at the top of my list. And
people who wear crocs, they're gonna be at the very
(13:40):
top of the list of people who need to be
deported first. And then at the very bottom are nice
families who have been here for thirty years and are
paying taxes. They're at the bottom of the people I
want to deport. But they're also the easiest to find
to go. You know, run posse over there and go,
(14:01):
we found you because you gave us your address, and
here you are, and smile for the camera. This is
gonna be on the Nightly News. It's good for our
it's good for our campaign finance fundraising, So they move
up the list because they're easy. We do this because
it's easy is the way it's gonna work out. Hey,
Speaking of Elon Musk, a number of people continue to
(14:25):
protest Elon Musk, and they're doing it by attacking teslas.
This is counterproductive because you're making yourself look like a lunatic. Fact,
if you are attacking someone's car because you're mad about
the car manufacturer and what they're doing in Washington, DC,
(14:47):
that's a stretch because they don't own that car any longer.
The person who purchased that car owns it. And what
good are you really doing? Are you teaching them a lesson?
If if you see a Tesla on the road, do
you instantly assume that person supports Elon Musk. I mean,
(15:09):
we've got to the point where people have to put
bumper stickers on the cars now that say I bought
this before Elon went crazy. But what about the people
that are selling their Teslas right now because somebody's buying it.
I mean, they're getting good deals on use Tesla's right
now because so many people want out because other people
keep attacking their cars. So you're talking about people who
(15:32):
are the second or third or even fourth owner of
a Tesla and you're attacking them for what fascism? It
doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Now. I do
know that we have people that are attacking Tesla dealerships.
Why why you're not attacking Trump Tower. You're not smashing
(15:54):
old bottles of Trump wine. You're not buying up Make
America Great hats and burning them an effigy. You're not
buying those sweet Trump tennis shoes. Man, those don't look
anything like a pair of old converts that have been
spray painted with gold paint at all. You're not doing that.
(16:15):
Why are you attacking these cars? Doesn't make a whole
lot of sense.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I understand not wanting to support the business. I get
that that's a boycott that's as old as America itself.
I mean, for Pete's sake, we're here because we boycotted Tea,
So I get the whole boycott thing. But maybe we
don't attack car owners because I don't think that that
(16:40):
car owner who may or may not have been aligned
with your political ideology before you attack their car. I
don't think they're gonna say, oh my gosh. You know,
I didn't really pay attention to Elon Musk before I
bought this car because I wanted an electric vehicle and
(17:01):
this was one of the good ones on the market,
So that's why I bought it. But now that you've
spray painted it with a swastika, oh, I see the
error of my ways. Now. I know I want to
make sure I vote for whomever you tell me to.
You're not winning people over that way. On the other hand,
Elon Musk is also not really getting the He's not
(17:25):
really getting the message either. So if you're Elon Musk,
do you decide that you're going to start a new
business in California of all places? I mean, you pulled
your headquarters out of California, you went to Texas, But
now you want to start a new business in California.
That's exactly what's happening. As we can now go to
(17:46):
the Tesla diner.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Elon Musk visited the Pentagon today. He reportedly had meetings
with senior US military leaders as an advisor to President Trump. Today,
the president said war plans should not be shared with
Musk because.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Of its get ahead of the diner parts.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Now, Musk is about to roll out a new business
Ventereio in Hollywood. It's a twenty four hour diner and
drive in theater where Tesla drivers can charge their car
as well eating a burger. Well must be welcome given
all the controversy that he's creating. In Washington, Holly asked
kay Cal news reporter Nicole Comstock to find out Nicole
to find out what tonight?
Speaker 10 (18:23):
Okay, that's here, Nicole, Nicole, Well, Pat, you have to
admit it looks a lot like a UFO.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I mean I can't see it because radio. But that's
typically not thought of as a great design.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
But some people say, even though they love that signature
or Tesla style, they don't want to take this ride
with Elon Musk anymore now that he's involved with DOGE.
But other people say, you know what, Tesla makes great
products and experiences and everything in life doesn't always have
to be about politics.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, it really doesn't, although Elon kind of invited that
in Uh, just real quick before we continue with the report.
As far as making great products, did you see that
almost all the cyber trucks just got recalled? Oh, first
of all, I was a big fan of the models.
I think it is a great car. It needs to
be revamped. It's been like ten plus years. They need
(19:17):
to put out a new model. You know. It's guys,
we've got a revamp, right. You can't. All cars go
through a revamp about every eight to ten years, So
you got to get on that. But the cyber truck,
I just can't figure out the market for the cyber truck.
If you are a truck driver because you need a truck,
(19:38):
you don't get the cyber truck. You want to pick
up You want something that's got a gas engine in it.
You want something that's not going to deplete the battery
right away when you start towing heavy stuff. It's not
better in any utilitarian way than a traditional pickup truck.
(19:59):
So who is it marketed to. It's marketed to city
dwellers that want to feel tough and drive a truck,
and you see them on the freeways. Maybe you're one
of them. You know exactly what I'm talking about. So
it's marketed to those people. But did those people want
to spend one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars on
the electric truck? Because Honestly, if you're trying to feel
(20:22):
tough on the freeway, nothing says I'm tough like we
When you sound like a golf cart, you don't sound macho.
And if you have an extra one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars, I don't think you're spending it on
something that sounds that way. I just don't. I don't,
so I don't know who the market is. But for
(20:44):
the forty se oni thousand that have been sold, they're
being recalled. Cyber Truck's first recall of twenty twenty five
was announced, but last week, I guess because the trim
panel is attached with glue and falls off. I thought
this truck was supposed to be indestructible. That is, unless
(21:07):
I guess you have solvent and then it all falls apart.
All right, continue here. What do we know about the diner.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
It's a new concept dinner on a drive in movie
while you charge your car. The Tesla Diner is coming
sometime soon to Santa Monica Boulevard. But is Hollywood hungry
for another Elon Musk business now that he's also running Doge.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I don't want to say anything. I'm sorry because it's
all stop. I love that they took somebody that didn't
want to comment. Let's put this in the story. I
have nothing to say. Good. We're going to use that.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
The decause the persis the politics.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm neutral. I'm gonna say neutral, and I leave it
up to people to decide a lot of them. Yeah,
I leave enough for people to decide to do whatever
you want. I do think that we're going to see
more of these sorts of cons It's not necessarily from
Elon Musk, but as more and more people buy electric vehicles,
and as more and more charging stations become available, I
(22:09):
think we're going to see more traditional gas stations adding
electric charging stations to their parking lot, which should be
relatively simple to do. It's not like you have to
have all this the different pump infrastructure like you do now.
You don't have to have these massive tanks, and you
can line the outside of your gas station parking lot
with charging stations where you already have parking for your
(22:32):
convenience store. You can put charging stations right in front
of those and plug cars in. Now, how do you
get people to spend more time there? Because the more
time they spend in your your service station, or your
gas station, whatever it is, your convenience store. The more
money they're going to spend. And we know that it
might take twenty or thirty minutes to charge that car
at least to get up to your eighty percent charge
to get on the road and get on your way.
(22:52):
So how do you get people to spend more time there?
I think we're going to see some more imaginative development,
some innovation at some of these gas stations where they
want to keep people around. Could be, could be some
sort of a movie theater or a lounge, could be,
could be a little casino type games. I guess you're
(23:12):
gonna see more and more of this, just watch for it.
American woman doesn't want to have anything to do with you. No, no, no, no.
The kids these days are giving up. They're giving up.
And look, I raised one of them. My daughter's twenty seven.
She is a childless cat lady. Yep. And gone women
(23:37):
and their independence. And then they start to making their
own money. They make as much as men next, and
then they start getting social lives, and then and then
all of a sudden, they they don't wanna make babies anymore.
And America is in decline. Indeed, headline Wall Street Journal,
American women are giving up on marriage? Why is the
(23:59):
big question? It seems that American women are staying single.
They've never been so resigned to saying single. According to
the Walls Free Journal, they are responding to major demographic shifts,
including a huge and growing gender gap in economic and
educational attainment, political affiliation, of beliefs about what a family
should look like. They say, the numbers aren't netting out.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
That.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
From Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center at the
American Enterprise Institute, which is a conservative thing tank, he says,
more women than men are attending college, more women than
men are buying houses, and more women than men are
focusing on their friendships and careers before they worry about
dating and marriage. Indeed, childless cat ladies all over the place.
(24:48):
Vox had a story that was somewhat similar. They spoke
with a hold On, hold On, I'm going to get
to this social scientists. Her name is Alice Evans, and
they asked her why do we have why do we
have fewer women that are that are getting married? And
she pointed out the reasons for getting married in the past,
(25:11):
and what are they and in many cases, what we're
talking about is love, money, or respect. And she breaks
that down to say that some societies, if you are
not married. In fact, you've probably heard the stories of
the old spinsters, right, if you're not married by a
certain age, then what's wrong with you? Or you get
(25:32):
married because you fall in love and I want to
be with that person forever, or you get married because
it is financially secure to be married, and so that's
one of the reasons that people do that. In the end,
women are saying, I want I don't I don't need
your money. I'm making my own. I don't care what
you think of me. So the respect isn't not a thing,
(25:52):
and they're not really focusing on finding love because they're
busy making their money in earning respect. The other reason
that that fewer people are getting married. This may come
as a surprise. It's a cell phone. Yeah, who's got
time to date? When you've got TikTok videos? You could
(26:12):
be watching My God. I could go out on a
date with some dude and he could try to feel
me up at a movie theater and it could be awkward.
And then even if I did like the guy, I'd
have to meet his family and that would be even
more awkward. But I could just sit here and watch
TikTok and then I could watch Netflix, and if I
(26:33):
get lonely, I could watch a different video, the kind
of video that helps me not feel quite so lonely anymore.
Garry Hoffman knows there are plenty of videos on the
Internet that will help you feel not so lonely anymore.
Speaker 11 (26:51):
Well, most of those have to do with the puppies
for me, is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah? That's interesting. Yea, mine is not so much the puppy.
When I feel lonely, I there's another site. What is that, codo?
Do you know what that? It's another site that Yeah,
that's it. Thanks. I appreciate the assist on that new puppy. Yeah,
and I don't feel lonely anymore. So that's why women
(27:17):
are not getting married either, because they have Netflix to
talk puppies and porn hub.
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Well you mentioned your daughter. Do you you want her
to have a merit, right?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
You want her to go through life with somebody so
not really, you don't care what I don't care so much?
Should I care? Should I be one of the.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
My daughter's twenty two I hope that she finds a
guy at some point or or ifoever.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I wanted to find companionship that kind of thing. I mean,
I don't want her spendy all the time looking at puppies. Yeah, no,
I don't want that. Uh. My oldest son, he's thirty
and he's got a His girlfriend is great for him.
I hope that. I hope he doesn't screw that up.
But I don't want anybody to rush anything. It's shipping parents.
I didn't get I was twenty.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
Six when I guess that's the thing men need somebody
like men need a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's true. I mean, and our mothers are not there
to do our loans.
Speaker 12 (28:10):
Exactly, you know, just basic things to where you're not
living like a teenager.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Well, we don't know what what closed used the cold exactly?
The right A guide? A guide is what you need
with boobs, Well, we need a boob caddie.
Speaker 12 (28:27):

boobs with boo lord, if you don't like those, that's
fine too. Maybe it's a penis.
Speaker 3 (28:34):

Okay, that's because it never gets old. What do you

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Off the airplane.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
That there's a light bulb that's been burning for a
million years and it is still burning here in California.
