Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listenings KFI AM six forty. The bill handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio f This is handle on
the law marginal legal advice where I tell you you
have absolutely no case. Now, I don't know if you
had watched and or listen to President Trump's prime time address.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That just happened. And normally I don't talk about primetime
addresses because they're eh, you know what President Trump thinks
is primetime. I don't think is prime time. And I'm
not alone because NBC, ABC, CNN wouldn't cover it. They
just said no, no, Even though the President said he
has bombshell news and bombshell evidence about fraud in elections
(00:49):
in this country, it just wasn't It wasn't true. There
was no bombshell anything. It's the same reg regurgitation of
everything it's been happening ever since twenty twenty in terms
of the allegations. Now, the reason, now you know all
of that, now, the reason I'm bringing this up because
this has to do with federal licenses to broadcast. What
(01:09):
the President said is that real clearly, and that is NBC, ABC,
MSN other networks that chose not to cover or broadcast
that speech of his was fraud, that they were guilty
(01:32):
of fraud. A network's decision not to carry the president's
message is primetime comments are guilty of fraud. Now, that's
quite a jump, to say the least. Moreover, what he
said is that they should have their licenses to broadcast revoked.
(01:53):
And you know, you bet Brendan Carr of the FCC
is already making that move to eliminate or to revoke
those licenses to broadcast. Now, the President made a point
which I think was legitimate, and that is that the
networks and stations independent stations are licensed by the FCC
(02:14):
and they are allowed to broadcast because it's federal law
that controls all of this. The government, the federal government
controls all broadcasts. And he said they don't pay for it,
which is true. The networks, the broadcasters get it for free.
They apply for it. For example, my home station KFI
(02:34):
applied for a license in April nineteen twenty two, still
has it. And the rules are I think every four
or five or seven years or something they have to reapply,
and there's a whole bunch of rules. But no one
gets tossed out. That's impossible, and so He said that
they're getting it for free and maybe they should pay
for it, which is fine, by the way, if everybody
is treated equally, that is no problem. The problem is
(02:57):
the rules of broadcast licensees are established by Congress and
have been established by Congress, and Congress would have to
change the rules. They would have to say, now, those
frequencies are to be paid for. Now, certain frequencies are sold,
(03:18):
by the way they are. They're auctions that sell for
certain frequencies for different kinds of issues, certain issues as
to weird weird radio signals, et cetera. That are not commercial.
So it's possible. But the traditional broadcast licenses are not
paid for. They've been around forever. And Trump is saying, well,
(03:41):
let's revoke those licenses from those companies that refused to
broadcast my speech. And that is fraud on its face. Now,
let me ask you, what do you think Congress is
going to do. Do you really think, for example, the
(04:02):
merger Paramount Sun Dance or Paramount Sky going after Warner
Brothers Discovery, and all of a sudden, they're not going
to say anything owning CNN, owning a bunch of radio
and TV stations. They're not going to say anything. Really,
do you really think that the president could get through
(04:23):
Congress to change the rules of broadcasting, especially only going
after those stations that didn't cover his speech and they're
therefore guilty of fraud, or do you think that's going
to go exactly? I mean, we get a lot of that.
I mean a lot of that. All right, let's go
ahead and take some phone calls. Patricia. Let's start with you. Hello, Patricia, welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well Hello, so real quick, long story short. Can you
hear me?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay? I can. Now you're on a cell phone. Can
you get to a non speaker cell phone you can
chog directly into it? Yes, that would be.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Guessed all that?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Okay, okay, much better is this? Okay?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Long story short. I have a condo that was built
around nineteen seventy. The tub had a really bad overflow
and it had to be repaired, and the plumber said,
there's asbestos. I can't do anything until there's asbestos for
mediation through this. I was contacting the HOA because it
(05:36):
was between the walls. I wasn't really sure whose responsibility
it is, and so the actual repair of the bad
overflow is my responsibility. So you know, I was gourby
with that. For the asbestos, they contacted the agency to
see if there was asbestos, and they also contact acted
(06:01):
the asbestos remediation the people who did the asbestos remediation.
They had to remove cabinets, kitchen cabinets because it was
a shared wall with the overflow. They the asbestos remediation
company totally whacked the cabinets to the tune of for
(06:24):
me to repair it, it's sixteen hundred dollars. The HOA says, well,
because it's water, we're not going to water inside the unit.
It's not our responsibility. And we're just beginning at this,
so I'm kind of wanting to be proactive.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Okay, let me ask you. Okay, I know, do they
have a responsibility the HOA, but if your time, they
probably have a responsibility for the asbestos removal. I think
that's on the HOA. But you're talking about the removal
company ripping your cabinets off the wall and doing that
much damage, sixteen hundred dollars worth. The damage that's on you.
(07:05):
That's on you.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You have to know even though the company, even though
the HOA hired the.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Company, Oh that's different. But you're it's still I think
on you the HOA can pay for can sue them,
because what the cabinet company is going to say a
defense is I don't have a contract with Patricia. My
contracts with the HOA. So the HOA can sue and
reimburse you. And I don't know if you can personally sue.
(07:32):
I think you can for the sixteen hundred dollars and
you go against the cabinet company. That's what you do.
That's an easy one.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I mean, not the cabinet company, No, the removal company.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, the people that the removal company that took the
cabinets off the wall and damaged.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Them and you have I'm their clients.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So that's correct. But but you're the recipient of the
cabinets and it's easier for you to sue because if
you have to go through the HOA. That's not to
say that their defense is exactly that we don't have
a contract with Patricia. Our contract is with the HOA.
I mean that's a good defense. But hopefully you get
involved in a small claims court and are they going
(08:12):
to say that in a small claims court judge is
not going to agree with you. It's it's possible they
can say whatever the hell they want, but they're going
to make a motion to drop it. It's sixteen hundred
bucks at this point. Is it a big company? Is
it a big company, the HOA or the remedian remediation company.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I think it's probably a medium size company, is probably yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
For six yeah, for sixteen hundred dollars. I can't imagine
that you couldn't come to some negotiation. Maybe it'll give you,
you know, sixty cents on the dollar and you take that,
or you end up in small claims court, which is
a complete pain in the rear end. Now, Ama, pain's
in the rear end if you get into a car accident,
or you slip and fall and fall on your butt,
(09:00):
or let's say you go to a big box store
and the big box falls on your head, or you're
assaulted by a rent to cop wrongly, and so let
you've been injured, all right, and now do you have

Speaker 5 (10:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
And welcome back more Handle on the Law Marginal Legal Advice. Scott.
Hello Scott, what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Bill?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Sure, I'm calling for my daughter because she works on
Saturdays and I told her I can reach out to you.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So she's been at this apartment for five years and
it just recently changed ownership a few months ago, and
her lease was up last month. So in the negotiations,
she wanted to stay another year and they said and
they went ahead and said, yes, you can stay for
another year, et cetera, et cetera. And they were actually
(10:46):
going to reduce their rent a little bit, but they
won't put it on a contract. They sent her an
email with that confirmation. And she's asked twice to have
a lease agreement and they won't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okay. And your question is if.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
They decide to break that email or and say okay,
now your rent is this this amount, or or you've
got to leave or whatever, what are her chances?
Speaker 8 (11:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I know, I understand. Now if they intend on her
staying another year, why would they not put that in
writing or put it in the lease agreement? Have you
asked them that question?
Speaker 6 (11:22):
She did, and they just said, well, we sent you
an email to confirm that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, you go.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That's not enough, is what she says. You know, you
have to put in writing. I talked to an attorney.
I don't mention my name because they'll start laughing. Uh,
and just say, you know it's it's it's much more
solid than an email. Is that enough?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Does it say specifically if well, what are they asking
her to sign? I mean just the same lease.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
They did, well nothing, there was no signature, they just
her email to them was well, have you decided on okay?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So so yeah, they said back, yeah, we have decided.
I don't think that's enough. I think yeah, I don't
think that that is enough for them to do that.
She has to assume that she's on a month to
month and it's yeah, I know you're right. No, you're unfortunately,
you're right on that. And they because if they're not
(12:18):
willing to sign it, if they say it's just on
the uh the email, and we think that's enough, and
they're told, no, it's not. You have to I have
to sign a lease or a lease extension. What do
they do at that point? If they want her to stay,
they're going to sign, they're going to give a lease
which has that extension. Matter of facts, the same lease.
(12:39):
I'm sorry it is. It is absolutely fishy. There's no question.
So she has to assume that she's on a month
two month. And I always ask this question because this
is southern California. Most of my listeners are in where
what city is she in? Yeah? No rent control and
that would help rent control. She's there for the rest
(13:01):
of her life. But no, not Thousand Oaks, great place
by the way to this great restaurant. There's one great
restaurant out there that I know. All right, Yeah, you
were right, by the way, you were absolutely right about
that your daughter's position. Gail, Hi, Gail, Good morning, Bill.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
I've got a question in regarding it trust my trust.
I had a trust drawn up about three years ago,
and at that time I was I owned my own
home and was living in the home. I sold the home,
and now I'm wondering if I need to redo that
trust and take the home out of it or Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Well there is no home anymore now. If the home
was in the trust, then it was the trust that
sold the home. Okay, all right, but that's probably what happened. Now.
When I, for example, refined my house, it was it
was kind of weird because I had to sign a twice.
I had to take the home out of the trust,
(14:03):
sign the documents as an owner, and then put the
home back in the trust only before the purposes the refine.
Well that's what the that's what the mortgage company had
me do. But if you, as the trustee, can you
can sell the house and are you well, let me
ask you. It's your trust, right, you own the trust? Yes, okay? Yeah,
(14:25):
you and you're the trustee. Yeah, you pretty much can
do whatever you want. You can. You can change the
trust and just leave the house out of it. Because
if you're the trustee and you're the beneficiary, and you
are the person that wrote the trust, the trust store
who wrote the trust, So yeah, it's it's you against you,
making a claim against you and defending you against you.
(14:49):
But I would, I got it. I would rewrite the
trust to exclude the home. It's easy, peasy to do.
I probably go to the same attorney and just yeah,
and just do it. I like trust that are air tight. I'
mean just a big believer in those, only because out
of the woodwork come relatives you've never heard of, especially
(15:09):
if there's big money and the trust isn't specifically written airtight.
Not that I think she's going to have a problem,
because again, it's her for her, about her, buy her.
Sounds very much like Abraham Lincoln, doesn't it. Now. I'll
tell you who do you trust when it comes to
your privacy online? How about nobody? Because everything about you
(15:31):
is available out there online. I could go online and
know where you work, where you live, where you bank,
what you buy, where, court records, DMV information, credit score,
social media. I mean I can get all of that.
So if you think you have privacy, you are dreaming.
But let me tell you what else happens even worse
than that, because that information that is online about you
(15:54):
is collected by hundreds of data brokers who then sell
it to anyone who wants to buy, even the bad guys.
And there you are. I think you're vulnerable. Yeah, Well,
in Cogni is a company that comes into play in
fights back because what they do is they contact hundreds
of these data brokers and legally demand your information be deleted.
(16:15):
And that's what happens. That's in Cogny, and before the show,
before every show, when I do handle on the law,
I log on online in Cognita account, and there it is,
right in my face. Hundreds of removal requests have been completed,
hundreds more are in progress and scheduled, and I can
do that every day. Incognita has helped hundreds of thousands
of people. So sixty percent off when you use my
(16:37):
name handle, go to incognate. I n cog n i
I n coog ni in Cogni dot com slash handle.
This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
This is Handle on the Law marginal legal advice where
I tell you you have absolutely no case. Okay, let's
start this segment with Sam. Let me go here, Icon City.
Hi Sam, Welcome to Handle on the Law. Hello Bill, Yes.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Hey, I got an opt out question. I have a
faxed form from the nineteen nineties where you had to
opt out from one of the three big credit bureaus
and you had to print it, fill it out, fax
it to them at the time it was received. How
do you know if they sold your information? And if so,
(17:33):
is the document still valid?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Well, first of all, of course they sold your information
because all the information out there is sold and moved around.
So again, privacy means nothing. I do the commercial for Incogniti,
and the only thing you can do is contact every
single person out there who has your information say I
want it out of there. And depending on where you are, yeah,
(17:55):
they either do or they just ignore you. And what
do you do when they ignore you? You can start a
lawsuit as far as you're talking about nineteen nineties. I mean,
we're talking about what twenty twenty five years ago. I'm
sure the law has changed pretty dramatically where you can't
just say, don't pay attention to me and my credit score.
I don't think that you can do that. I don't
(18:18):
know for a fact. But if you want to opt out,
you want to go through life with no credit at all,
that's you know, that's a little tough to do.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Party.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh, you're talking about what do you mean opting out?
The third party? Someone someone gives a ding against you,
someone says something negative about you.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
Well, they say, would you like to opt out against
certain reports?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Did they say no, No, you can't do that. That
you can't do You can dispute it. You can say
to whoever is ringing your credit that if you don't
move it, or even the credit reporting agencies when you
dispute it and say this is dispute, I don't owe
my money. But what they do is they contact the vendor,
(19:09):
or they contact the person who has written a negative review,
and the person says, yeah, you know, there's no question
Sam used our services, Sam bought our product, and they
do a very cursory investigation and then they just leave
it alone. So no, you can't just say, as to
every negative I want to opt out, you have to
remove that negative rating, because that everybody would do it.
(19:32):
There'd be no such thing as say a negative rating.
They wouldn't exist. So yeah, yeah, you got it. I mean,
what good at that point? What good does credit do? No?
It stays on your record. And I think after depending
bankruptcies disappear after seven years or ten years, and I
don't know the exact time because they've changed them a bit.
And I think bad credit scores after seven years disappear,
(19:53):
but in reality they don't even they don't even disappear.
Now they have to by law, but I don't because
what are you gonna do? You're gonna sue them? I
guess here we go. Ray, you got a question. We
haven't had one of these in a while. What can
I do for you?
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Bill?
Speaker 10 (20:11):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yes, sir? What can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (20:15):
I had a product liability question. Okay, I was enrolled
in a solo car accident and the bags deploy and
the car overturned.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Okay, how how badly were you hurt?
Speaker 11 (20:30):
Ray?
Speaker 10 (20:32):
I had a shoulders, right shoulder injury.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Okay, what happened? Okay? Did you have surgery or was
it a soft tissue that you just got better?
Speaker 10 (20:42):
No, it's I'm still of giving treating for it. I
don't know what orthopedic surgeon is finally going to decide.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Well, if they do surgery, Ray, if you have surgery done,
then yeah, you probably have a case. Although if you're
talking about going after the manufactured the car manufacturer or
the manufacture of the air bag, that is no small
deal man.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
You.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The only way you're going to get an attorney to
help you is if you lose both your legs and
both your arms simultaneously, so you become the human torso Ray.
You've got to really be injured because this is a
product liability case and you're going after manufacturers. I mean
going after a car manufacturer, you think they don't have
unlimited resources, and these companies that make air bags, you
(21:34):
don't think they have unlimited resources. So you're basically out
to lunch on this one. You're not going to get
much at all. Now if you're really hurt. If you're
really hurt, there would be a personal injury lawyer that
can threaten and you know, a good one will be
able to get something out of it. But I mean,
you've got to be really injured on this.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
And I've been diagnosed with the pop boy syndrome.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
What diagnosed with?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
When I heard this slow voice syndrome? Is that what
you were diagnosed with?
Speaker 10 (22:08):
No POY syndromest like flecks at all time. That's hurt.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Okay, So you have you hurt all the time?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Okay? Ray, I hurt all the time. I wake up
in the morning and I heard I start this show,
and I heard I took your phone call, and I hurt.
So that doesn't Yeah, that doesn't do much. Hurting doesn't
do much because people hurt. It's all subjective. It's all subjective,
you know. I let me Yeah, let me give you.
Let me give you an example. Okay. My wife has
(22:41):
something called CRPS Complex regional pain syndrome, which is intense,
unbelievable pain, I mean, crazy pain, twenty four hours a day.
It's called the suicide disease because about fifteen twenty percent
of the people who haven't commit suicide the pain is
so great. Okay, I get it.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Okay, that's one.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I get a paper cut. Oh, Okay, got it on,
Just keep on going. In the meantime to finish my story,
I get a paper cut and I'm on the floor
in a fetal position, moaning and saying call an ambulance.
I can't believe how much pain I'm in. It's all subjective.
(23:22):
It's all subjective. Oh you know, before we get I
was gonna get. I'm gonna put you on hold there
for a second because one of the things that people
ask me, boy, what an hour it's been in terms
of personal injury questions and what happens when you have
a personal injury car accident or slip and fall, or
you're in a store and rent a cup assaults you
or whatever, and it's not your fault. You've been injured,
(23:45):
and so you got to claim right, And so what
do you do. Well, I'll tell you what it's going
to do. You exchange information and the other side, insurance
company calls you and says, we want to pay for
the car repair. Well that's good. If we want to
pay your medical expenses, well that's good. And when we
get I want to give you some money for paying
and suffering, Well that's good. And here's how much we're
gonna give you, and it's a pittance compared to what
(24:07):
you can get because those guys are experts at not
paying you. You're out of your wheelhouse. In steps a
personal injury lawyer to represent you. You pay money up front,
you do not. They take a percentage of what they
settle for and if there's no settlement, they get no money.
So it's never out of pocket. So I created handle
on the law dot com to get you that right attorney.
(24:28):

If there's a problem, I make the phone call. They're
real good and they get you as much money. And

For you this is probably a good call for people
to have a wake. UP call i had three people

we looked it UP and, I think i don't know.
What website it Was mark play whatever, those ones and

(25:31):
The house so three people come up to our house
asking for, a rental and then we looked it up, and,
said hey we took. It off but is there any
does this happen? A lot and is there anything that
people can get together and go after these companies for? False,
advertisements okay first, of, all, yeah no it's a.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Good question which company do? You know which company put
up the address your address when your place was not?
FOR rent.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I can't i'm not too good at. This stuff is
my wife's the one that? Deleted it but it's one
of those? Like, marketplace yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah, You could but, you know what do you here's?
The problem what are you? Gonna do you deleted. It's
gone three people, showed, Up, understood okay that's not. Good
news but what are you? Gonna do let me. Ask
something all you can do is you can. Enjoin them,
you know you can file a restraining order to stop
them from. Doing that but your wife has already, deleted
It and i'm assuming you they've been informed that you
(26:25):

after your wife, deleted it there hasn't been a recurrence.
Of that correct stopped at, that POINT?

Am? I?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Right?
Speaker 3 (26:34):

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Right okay, Well okay so now your damages are three
people show up because someone wrongly put your information Up
and marketplace if, it was or whatever platform put it,
up there and they've. Deleted it so now what are you? Asking,
for well you can't stop them from doing it if
they're not doing. It anymore so a restraining order is
(26:57):

Yes ma'am can you? HEAR me? I? Can, Oh, great
okay here's how. It works you know you asked, the question?
Got it so now you asked. The, Question OKAY so.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I had, a trust a, revocable trust done by lawyer
a couple of, years BACK and i, started thinking he
didn't ask for The social security numbers for. The beneficiary
so if something happens, to me will there be an idea? Identification,
problem now there shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Legal, name yeah there shouldn't be no even if they
get the, name wrong and sometimes. They do i've never
heard of a trust that Gives social, security numbers and
a lot of people don't. Have them I'm leaving i'm
leaving something to my nieces. AND nephews i don't have
Their social. Security number but if the trust is, written
(29:08):
Correctly it's i'm leaving. My niece here's, her name and
there's a, family connection or there's some kind. Of connection
all the person has to prove is that they are,
that person not A social. Security number that's. Not necessary
just a. Name, works now the tighter the, name, is
obviously a social security number would make it more. Air,
(29:29):
tight okay if you really want it, air tight. You
go i'm leaving it to. My niece here's her last,
known address here's Her social, security number here's where, she
worked here's she went to where she went, To school
so it's harder for someone, To Say i'm. Bill's, niece
yeah but, you know you don't have to have A soci.
Security number your lawyer did nothing wrong by not putting
(29:51):
in A social, security, Number right so. You're fine that's an,
interesting question, All, Right, Frank, HELLO frank.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
I have.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
A question i have a question. FOR you i have
a close friend. Of mine about two years ago they
won a class action like, living law and they got
aboarded the money that the, vehicle was, you know Valued
for my question is do you have to pay taxes?
On that and was the lawyer who handled the case
they got LIKE a i, DON'T know i don't know
(30:22):
ten or.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Twenty, percent now first, of all the lawyers get. A,
percentage yeah the lawyers get a percentage because that's. By
law they get a percentage and you don't have to
be attorney's fees, on that so that. Is easy, but
yes lawyers are entitled to get money for what. THEY
do i know that sounds kind of strange because lawyers
are a bunch of sleevez balls and they shouldn't get paid,
at all but it's kind of hard to do they
(30:44):
have To, pay no that's the. OTHER question i. GET
it i. DON'T think i don't think they have to
pay taxes because they're reimbursed for what they spent on
the value of. The car they are, simply reimbursed and
reimbursement is not. Taxable income, SO yeah. I think i think,
he's okay all right UNTIL the irs shows up and
audits him, and, says hey would you like to pay?
(31:04):
Your taxes? All right one of the things we're going
to DO before i bail and say goodbye is talk about.
Online PRIVACY and i just had a phone call a
few minutes ago talking about where someone got information AND
can i do anything? About, It, bill no you. REALLY can't,
i mean you can ask these data brokers to delete
information that they have, on you but there's so many.

Of them because everything you have about you. Is available your,
home address where, you work where, you bank what, you
buy where you, buy it, court RECORDS your, dmv information your,
credit score all of that, is available and data brokers
collect it and then they. Sell it they sell it

This is handle On. The law you've been listening To
The Bill.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Handle show catch My show Monday, through friday six am to,
nine am and anytime on demand On the iHeartRadio app
You're listenings KFI AM six forty. The bill handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio f This is handle on
the law marginal legal advice where I tell you you
have absolutely no case. Now, I don't know if you
had watched and or listen to President Trump's prime time address.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That just happened. And normally I don't talk about primetime
addresses because they're eh, you know what President Trump thinks
is primetime. I don't think is prime time. And I'm
not alone because NBC, ABC, CNN wouldn't cover it. They
just said no, no, Even though the President said he
has bombshell news and bombshell evidence about fraud in elections
(00:49):
in this country, it just wasn't It wasn't true. There
was no bombshell anything. It's the same reg regurgitation of
everything it's been happening ever since twenty twenty in terms
of the allegations. Now, the reason, now you know all
of that, now, the reason I'm bringing this up because
this has to do with federal licenses to broadcast. What
(01:09):
the President said is that real clearly, and that is NBC, ABC,
MSN other networks that chose not to cover or broadcast
that speech of his was fraud, that they were guilty
(01:32):
of fraud. A network's decision not to carry the president's
message is primetime comments are guilty of fraud. Now, that's
quite a jump, to say the least. Moreover, what he
said is that they should have their licenses to broadcast revoked.
(01:53):
And you know, you bet Brendan Carr of the FCC
is already making that move to eliminate or to revoke
those licenses to broadcast. Now, the President made a point
which I think was legitimate, and that is that the
networks and stations independent stations are licensed by the FCC
(02:14):
and they are allowed to broadcast because it's federal law
that controls all of this. The government, the federal government
controls all broadcasts. And he said they don't pay for it,
which is true. The networks, the broadcasters get it for free.
They apply for it. For example, my home station KFI
(02:34):
applied for a license in April nineteen twenty two, still
has it. And the rules are I think every four
or five or seven years or something they have to reapply,
and there's a whole bunch of rules. But no one
gets tossed out. That's impossible, and so He said that
they're getting it for free and maybe they should pay
for it, which is fine, by the way, if everybody
is treated equally, that is no problem. The problem is
(02:57):
the rules of broadcast licensees are established by Congress and
have been established by Congress, and Congress would have to
change the rules. They would have to say, now, those
frequencies are to be paid for. Now, certain frequencies are sold,
(03:18):
by the way they are. They're auctions that sell for
certain frequencies for different kinds of issues, certain issues as
to weird weird radio signals, et cetera. That are not commercial.
So it's possible. But the traditional broadcast licenses are not
paid for. They've been around forever. And Trump is saying, well,
(03:41):
let's revoke those licenses from those companies that refused to
broadcast my speech. And that is fraud on its face. Now,
let me ask you, what do you think Congress is
going to do. Do you really think, for example, the
(04:02):
merger Paramount Sun Dance or Paramount Sky going after Warner
Brothers Discovery, and all of a sudden, they're not going
to say anything owning CNN, owning a bunch of radio
and TV stations. They're not going to say anything. Really,
do you really think that the president could get through
(04:23):
Congress to change the rules of broadcasting, especially only going
after those stations that didn't cover his speech and they're
therefore guilty of fraud, or do you think that's going
to go exactly? I mean, we get a lot of that.
I mean a lot of that. All right, let's go
ahead and take some phone calls. Patricia. Let's start with you. Hello, Patricia, welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well Hello, so real quick, long story short. Can you
hear me?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay? I can. Now you're on a cell phone. Can
you get to a non speaker cell phone you can
chog directly into it? Yes, that would be.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Guessed all that?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Okay, okay, much better is this? Okay?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Long story short. I have a condo that was built
around nineteen seventy. The tub had a really bad overflow
and it had to be repaired, and the plumber said,
there's asbestos. I can't do anything until there's asbestos for
mediation through this. I was contacting the HOA because it
(05:36):
was between the walls. I wasn't really sure whose responsibility
it is, and so the actual repair of the bad
overflow is my responsibility. So you know, I was gourby
with that. For the asbestos, they contacted the agency to
see if there was asbestos, and they also contact acted
(06:01):
the asbestos remediation the people who did the asbestos remediation.
They had to remove cabinets, kitchen cabinets because it was
a shared wall with the overflow. They the asbestos remediation
company totally whacked the cabinets to the tune of for
(06:24):
me to repair it, it's sixteen hundred dollars. The HOA says, well,
because it's water, we're not going to water inside the unit.
It's not our responsibility. And we're just beginning at this,
so I'm kind of wanting to be proactive.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Okay, let me ask you. Okay, I know, do they
have a responsibility the HOA, but if your time, they
probably have a responsibility for the asbestos removal. I think
that's on the HOA. But you're talking about the removal
company ripping your cabinets off the wall and doing that
much damage, sixteen hundred dollars worth. The damage that's on you.
(07:05):
That's on you.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You have to know even though the company, even though
the HOA hired the.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Company, Oh that's different. But you're it's still I think
on you the HOA can pay for can sue them,
because what the cabinet company is going to say a
defense is I don't have a contract with Patricia. My
contracts with the HOA. So the HOA can sue and
reimburse you. And I don't know if you can personally sue.
(07:32):
I think you can for the sixteen hundred dollars and
you go against the cabinet company. That's what you do.
That's an easy one.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I mean, not the cabinet company, No, the removal company.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, the people that the removal company that took the
cabinets off the wall and damaged.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Them and you have I'm their clients.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So that's correct. But but you're the recipient of the
cabinets and it's easier for you to sue because if
you have to go through the HOA. That's not to
say that their defense is exactly that we don't have
a contract with Patricia. Our contract is with the HOA.
I mean that's a good defense. But hopefully you get
involved in a small claims court and are they going
(08:12):
to say that in a small claims court judge is
not going to agree with you. It's it's possible they
can say whatever the hell they want, but they're going
to make a motion to drop it. It's sixteen hundred
bucks at this point. Is it a big company? Is
it a big company, the HOA or the remedian remediation company.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I think it's probably a medium size company, is probably yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
For six yeah, for sixteen hundred dollars. I can't imagine
that you couldn't come to some negotiation. Maybe it'll give you,
you know, sixty cents on the dollar and you take that,
or you end up in small claims court, which is
a complete pain in the rear end. Now, Ama, pain's
in the rear end if you get into a car accident,
or you slip and fall and fall on your butt,
(09:00):
or let's say you go to a big box store
and the big box falls on your head, or you're
assaulted by a rent to cop wrongly, and so let

Speaker 5 (10:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
And welcome back more Handle on the Law Marginal Legal Advice. Scott.
Hello Scott, what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Bill?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Sure, I'm calling for my daughter because she works on
Saturdays and I told her I can reach out to you.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So she's been at this apartment for five years and
it just recently changed ownership a few months ago, and
her lease was up last month. So in the negotiations,
she wanted to stay another year and they said and
they went ahead and said, yes, you can stay for
another year, et cetera, et cetera. And they were actually
(10:46):
going to reduce their rent a little bit, but they
won't put it on a contract. They sent her an
email with that confirmation. And she's asked twice to have
a lease agreement and they won't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Okay. And your question is if.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
They decide to break that email or and say okay,
now your rent is this this amount, or or you've
got to leave or whatever, what are her chances?
Speaker 8 (11:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I know, I understand. Now if they intend on her
staying another year, why would they not put that in
writing or put it in the lease agreement? Have you
asked them that question?
Speaker 6 (11:22):
She did, and they just said, well, we sent you
an email to confirm that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, you go.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
That's not enough, is what she says. You know, you
have to put in writing. I talked to an attorney.
I don't mention my name because they'll start laughing. Uh,
and just say, you know it's it's it's much more
solid than an email. Is that enough?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Does it say specifically if well, what are they asking
her to sign? I mean just the same lease.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
They did, well nothing, there was no signature, they just
her email to them was well, have you decided on okay?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So so yeah, they said back, yeah, we have decided.
I don't think that's enough. I think yeah, I don't
think that that is enough for them to do that.
She has to assume that she's on a month to
month and it's yeah, I know you're right. No, you're unfortunately,
you're right on that. And they because if they're not
(12:18):
willing to sign it, if they say it's just on
the uh the email, and we think that's enough, and
they're told, no, it's not. You have to I have
to sign a lease or a lease extension. What do
they do at that point? If they want her to stay,
they're going to sign, they're going to give a lease
which has that extension. Matter of facts, the same lease.
(12:39):
I'm sorry it is. It is absolutely fishy. There's no question.
So she has to assume that she's on a month
two month. And I always ask this question because this
is southern California. Most of my listeners are in where
what city is she in? Yeah? No rent control and
that would help rent control. She's there for the rest
(13:01):
of her life. But no, not Thousand Oaks, great place
by the way to this great restaurant. There's one great
restaurant out there that I know. All right, Yeah, you
were right, by the way, you were absolutely right about
that your daughter's position. Gail, Hi, Gail, Good morning, Bill.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
I've got a question in regarding it trust my trust.
I had a trust drawn up about three years ago,
and at that time I was I owned my own
home and was living in the home. I sold the home,
and now I'm wondering if I need to redo that
trust and take the home out of it or Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Well there is no home anymore now. If the home
was in the trust, then it was the trust that
sold the home. Okay, all right, but that's probably what happened. Now.
When I, for example, refined my house, it was it
was kind of weird because I had to sign a twice.
I had to take the home out of the trust,
(14:03):
sign the documents as an owner, and then put the
home back in the trust only before the purposes the refine.
Well that's what the that's what the mortgage company had
me do. But if you, as the trustee, can you
can sell the house and are you well, let me
ask you. It's your trust, right, you own the trust? Yes, okay? Yeah,
(14:25):
you and you're the trustee. Yeah, you pretty much can
do whatever you want. You can. You can change the
trust and just leave the house out of it. Because
if you're the trustee and you're the beneficiary, and you
are the person that wrote the trust, the trust store
who wrote the trust, So yeah, it's it's you against you,
making a claim against you and defending you against you.
(14:49):
But I would, I got it. I would rewrite the
trust to exclude the home. It's easy, peasy to do.
I probably go to the same attorney and just yeah,
and just do it. I like trust that are air tight. I'
mean just a big believer in those, only because out
of the woodwork come relatives you've never heard of, especially
(15:09):
if there's big money and the trust isn't specifically written airtight.
Not that I think she's going to have a problem,
because again, it's her for her, about her, buy her.
Sounds very much like Abraham Lincoln, doesn't it. Now. I'll
tell you who do you trust when it comes to
your privacy online? How about nobody? Because everything about you
(15:31):
is available out there online. I could go online and
know where you work, where you live, where you bank,
what you buy, where, court records, DMV information, credit score,
social media. I mean I can get all of that.
So if you think you have privacy, you are dreaming.
But let me tell you what else happens even worse
than that, because that information that is online about you
(15:54):
is collected by hundreds of data brokers who then sell
it to anyone who wants to buy, even the bad guys.
And there you are. I think you're vulnerable. Yeah, Well,
in Cogni is a company that comes into play in
fights back because what they do is they contact hundreds
of these data brokers and legally demand your information be deleted.
(16:15):
And that's what happens. That's in Cogny, and before the show,
before every show, when I do handle on the law,
I log on online in Cognita account, and there it is,
right in my face. Hundreds of removal requests have been completed,
hundreds more are in progress and scheduled, and I can
do that every day. Incognita has helped hundreds of thousands
of people. So sixty percent off when you use my
(16:37):
name handle, go to incognate. I n cog n i
I n coog ni in Cogni dot com slash handle.
This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
This is Handle on the Law marginal legal advice where
I tell you you have absolutely no case. Okay, let's
start this segment with Sam. Let me go here, Icon City.
Hi Sam, Welcome to Handle on the Law. Hello Bill, Yes.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Hey, I got an opt out question. I have a
faxed form from the nineteen nineties where you had to
opt out from one of the three big credit bureaus
and you had to print it, fill it out, fax
it to them at the time it was received. How
do you know if they sold your information? And if so,
(17:33):
is the document still valid?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Well, first of all, of course they sold your information
because all the information out there is sold and moved around.
So again, privacy means nothing. I do the commercial for Incogniti,
and the only thing you can do is contact every
single person out there who has your information say I
want it out of there. And depending on where you are, yeah,
(17:55):
they either do or they just ignore you. And what
do you do when they ignore you? You can start a
lawsuit as far as you're talking about nineteen nineties. I mean,
we're talking about what twenty twenty five years ago. I'm
sure the law has changed pretty dramatically where you can't
just say, don't pay attention to me and my credit score.
I don't think that you can do that. I don't
(18:18):
know for a fact. But if you want to opt out,
you want to go through life with no credit at all,
that's you know, that's a little tough to do.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Party.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh, you're talking about what do you mean opting out?
The third party? Someone someone gives a ding against you,
someone says something negative about you.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
Well, they say, would you like to opt out against
certain reports?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Did they say no, No, you can't do that. That
you can't do You can dispute it. You can say
to whoever is ringing your credit that if you don't
move it, or even the credit reporting agencies when you
dispute it and say this is dispute, I don't owe
my money. But what they do is they contact the vendor,
(19:09):
or they contact the person who has written a negative review,
and the person says, yeah, you know, there's no question
Sam used our services, Sam bought our product, and they
do a very cursory investigation and then they just leave
it alone. So no, you can't just say, as to
every negative I want to opt out, you have to
remove that negative rating, because that everybody would do it.
(19:32):
There'd be no such thing as say a negative rating.
They wouldn't exist. So yeah, yeah, you got it. I mean,
what good at that point? What good does credit do? No?
It stays on your record. And I think after depending
bankruptcies disappear after seven years or ten years, and I
don't know the exact time because they've changed them a bit.
And I think bad credit scores after seven years disappear,
(19:53):
but in reality they don't even they don't even disappear.
Now they have to by law, but I don't because
what are you gonna do? You're gonna sue them? I
guess here we go. Ray, you got a question. We
haven't had one of these in a while. What can
I do for you?
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Bill?
Speaker 10 (20:11):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yes, sir? What can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (20:15):
I had a product liability question. Okay, I was enrolled
in a solo car accident and the bags deploy and
the car overturned.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Okay, how how badly were you hurt?
Speaker 11 (20:30):
Ray?
Speaker 10 (20:32):
I had a shoulders, right shoulder injury.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Okay, what happened? Okay? Did you have surgery or was
it a soft tissue that you just got better?
Speaker 10 (20:42):
No, it's I'm still of giving treating for it. I
don't know what orthopedic surgeon is finally going to decide.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Well, if they do surgery, Ray, if you have surgery done,
then yeah, you probably have a case. Although if you're
talking about going after the manufactured the car manufacturer or
the manufacture of the air bag, that is no small
deal man.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
You.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The only way you're going to get an attorney to
help you is if you lose both your legs and
both your arms simultaneously, so you become the human torso Ray.
You've got to really be injured because this is a
product liability case and you're going after manufacturers. I mean
going after a car manufacturer, you think they don't have
unlimited resources, and these companies that make air bags, you
(21:34):
don't think they have unlimited resources. So you're basically out
to lunch on this one. You're not going to get
much at all. Now if you're really hurt. If you're
really hurt, there would be a personal injury lawyer that
can threaten and you know, a good one will be
able to get something out of it. But I mean,
you've got to be really injured on this.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
And I've been diagnosed with the pop boy syndrome.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
What diagnosed with?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
When I heard this slow voice syndrome? Is that what
you were diagnosed with?
Speaker 10 (22:08):
No POY syndromest like flecks at all time. That's hurt.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Okay, So you have you hurt all the time?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Okay? Ray, I hurt all the time. I wake up
in the morning and I heard I start this show,
and I heard I took your phone call, and I hurt.
So that doesn't Yeah, that doesn't do much. Hurting doesn't
do much because people hurt. It's all subjective. It's all subjective,
you know. I let me Yeah, let me give you.
Let me give you an example. Okay. My wife has
(22:41):
something called CRPS Complex regional pain syndrome, which is intense,
unbelievable pain, I mean, crazy pain, twenty four hours a day.
It's called the suicide disease because about fifteen twenty percent
of the people who haven't commit suicide the pain is
so great. Okay, I get it.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Okay, that's one.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I get a paper cut. Oh, Okay, got it on,
Just keep on going. In the meantime to finish my story,
I get a paper cut and I'm on the floor
in a fetal position, moaning and saying call an ambulance.
I can't believe how much pain I'm in. It's all subjective.
(23:22):
It's all subjective. Oh you know, before we get I
was gonna get. I'm gonna put you on hold there
for a second because one of the things that people
ask me, boy, what an hour it's been in terms
of personal injury questions and what happens when you have
a personal injury car accident or slip and fall, or
you're in a store and rent a cup assaults you
or whatever, and it's not your fault. You've been injured,
(23:45):
and so you got to claim right, And so what
do you do. Well, I'll tell you what it's going
to do. You exchange information and the other side, insurance
company calls you and says, we want to pay for
the car repair. Well that's good. If we want to
pay your medical expenses, well that's good. And when we
get I want to give you some money for paying
and suffering, Well that's good. And here's how much we're
gonna give you, and it's a pittance compared to what
(24:07):
you can get because those guys are experts at not
paying you. You're out of your wheelhouse. In steps a
personal injury lawyer to represent you. You pay money up front,
you do not. They take a percentage of what they
settle for and if there's no settlement, they get no money.
So it's never out of pocket. So I created handle
on the law dot com to get you that right attorney.
(24:28):
Handle on the law dot Com. The attorneys are vetted.
If there's a problem, I make the phone call. They're
real good and they get you as much money. And
that's all you talk about is money here. They're going
to get you as much money as basically you deserve.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
You're listening To bill handle on demand FROM kf i
am six four.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And. Welcome back handle On The Law Marginal. Legal, Advice, Steve,
hello steve. Welcome aboard WHAT can i do?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
For you this is probably a good call for people
to have a wake. UP call i had three people
come to my house looking for a rental in. My
house they had the address and all. That stuff but
we looked it UP and, I think i don't know.
What website it Was mark play whatever, those ones and
it had a picture of somebody else's house inside of.
(25:31):
The house so three people come up to our house
asking for, a rental and then we looked it up, and,
said hey we took. It off but is there any
does this happen? A lot and is there anything that
people can get together and go after these companies for? False,
advertisements okay first, of, all, yeah no it's a.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Good question which company do? You know which company put
up the address your address when your place was not?
FOR rent.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I can't i'm not too good at. This stuff is
my wife's the one that? Deleted it but it's one
of those? Like, marketplace yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah, You could but, you know what do you here's?
The problem what are you? Gonna do you deleted. It's
gone three people, showed, Up, understood okay that's not. Good
news but what are you? Gonna do let me. Ask
something all you can do is you can. Enjoin them,
you know you can file a restraining order to stop
them from. Doing that but your wife has already, deleted
It and i'm assuming you they've been informed that you
(26:25):
are listing for your house. Is Off so i'm assuming
after your wife, deleted it there hasn't been a recurrence.
Of that correct stopped at, that POINT?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Am? I?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Right?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Right okay, Well okay so now your damages are three
people show up because someone wrongly put your information Up
and marketplace if, it was or whatever platform put it,
up there and they've. Deleted it so now what are you? Asking,
for well you can't stop them from doing it if
they're not doing. It anymore so a restraining order is
(26:57):
not going to, do anything and so the only other issue.
Is money how badly were? You damaged how badly were
you injured by three people showing up to?
Speaker 11 (27:05):
Your, home yeah it's not so MUCH that i was.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
In there it's just the, fact that, you know three
strange people, COME again.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I understand but that ammas all, the time. You know
welcome to, The, world yeah welcome to the world of,
the internet. My friend, YOU know, I mean I get i.
Get packages i'm in a community Where the, amazon people
and my wife Lives for Amazon and amazon deliveries where
at least twice. A week they show up to. The
house they knock on the Door while i'm on. The
(27:32):
air keep, in MIND because i have a home Studio
when i'm In when i'm not in the Studio, in
BURBANK because i Live In orange county and that Is In,

ring ring, Ring ring and That's an. Amazon driver so
(27:55):
WHAT do? I? Do YEAH am? I injured well the.
Show sucks you get to hear the, doorbell ringing which
sort of gets in. The way but, you know what
are my? Damages THERE so i know it pisses. You off,
you're right it. Shouldn't happen but, you, know welcome welcome
to this. New world you know. It's you we have
cars now they Found The. LIMBERG baby, i mean you
know what ELSE can i? Tell you here? We, go, Oh,
(28:18):
Okay gina gina has. A, Question, Hello gina, Hi, there.
Yes ma'am can you? HEAR me? I? Can, Oh, great
okay here's how. It works you know you asked, the question?
Got it so now you asked. The, Question OKAY so.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I had, a trust a, revocable trust done by lawyer
a couple of, years BACK and i, started thinking he
didn't ask for The social security numbers for. The beneficiary
so if something happens, to me will there be an idea? Identification,
problem now there shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Legal, name yeah there shouldn't be no even if they
get the, name wrong and sometimes. They do i've never
heard of a trust that Gives social, security numbers and
a lot of people don't. Have them I'm leaving i'm
leaving something to my nieces. AND nephews i don't have
Their social. Security number but if the trust is, written
(29:08):
Correctly it's i'm leaving. My niece here's, her name and
there's a, family connection or there's some kind. Of connection
all the person has to prove is that they are,
that person not A social. Security number that's. Not necessary
just a. Name, works now the tighter the, name, is
obviously a social security number would make it more. Air,
(29:29):
tight okay if you really want it, air tight. You
go i'm leaving it to. My niece here's her last,
known address here's Her social, security number here's where, she
worked here's she went to where she went, To school
so it's harder for someone, To Say i'm. Bill's, niece
yeah but, you know you don't have to have A soci.
Security number your lawyer did nothing wrong by not putting
(29:51):
in A social, security, Number right so. You're fine that's an,
interesting question, All, Right, Frank, HELLO frank.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
I have.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
A question i have a question. FOR you i have
a close friend. Of mine about two years ago they
won a class action like, living law and they got
aboarded the money that the, vehicle was, you know Valued
for my question is do you have to pay taxes?
On that and was the lawyer who handled the case
they got LIKE a i, DON'T know i don't know
(30:22):
ten or.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Twenty, percent now first, of all the lawyers get. A,
percentage yeah the lawyers get a percentage because that's. By
law they get a percentage and you don't have to
be attorney's fees, on that so that. Is easy, but
yes lawyers are entitled to get money for what. THEY
do i know that sounds kind of strange because lawyers
are a bunch of sleevez balls and they shouldn't get paid,
at all but it's kind of hard to do they
(30:44):
have To, pay no that's the. OTHER question i. GET
it i. DON'T think i don't think they have to
pay taxes because they're reimbursed for what they spent on
the value of. The car they are, simply reimbursed and
reimbursement is not. Taxable income, SO yeah. I think i think,
he's okay all right UNTIL the irs shows up and
audits him, and, says hey would you like to pay?
(31:04):
Your taxes? All right one of the things we're going
to DO before i bail and say goodbye is talk about.
Online PRIVACY and i just had a phone call a
few minutes ago talking about where someone got information AND
can i do anything? About, It, bill no you. REALLY can't,
i mean you can ask these data brokers to delete
information that they have, on you but there's so many.

Of them because everything you have about you. Is available your,
home address where, you work where, you bank what, you
buy where you, buy it, court RECORDS your, dmv information your,
credit score all of that, is available and data brokers
collect it and then they. Sell it they sell it
to people who, buy it like, bad guys or people
(31:48):
who want, mailing lists or people want to know that
you Shop at costco and that is important because your
privacy is completely toast because you have. No privacy this
