You're listenings KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio f.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Monday morning, August eleventh.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Now, just before the break, I was sort of joking
about Uber drivers that I've never gone into an Uber
car and never and I've always had a Pakistani driver,
and we were joking about it. I don't know if
they're really Pakistani, to be honest with you, but here's all.
(00:30):
Here's what's on the radio every single time. That's the
Pakistani national anthem. That yeah, that's the Pakistani national anthem.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And it continues on.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I need those emails talking about how I have attacked Pakistani's.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh and if I could get a time machine, I
would go back in time and I'd slap your parents
until they hugged you.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
All right, Yeah, that's not going to happen. A story
about JD.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Vans who went kayaking for his birthday in Ohio and
he was going down the river and it turned out
that the river's water level was raised to accommodate that
kayaking trip for him and his family to celebrate his
forty first birthday. The US Secret Service requested the increased
(01:31):
water flow to the Little Miami River to ensure that
motorized watercraft an emergency personnel could operate safely to protect
the Vice president and his family, and of course, critics
immediately blasted this action as a sign of the Vice
President's entitlement, particularly given the Trump administration's focus on slashing
(01:54):
government spending, and the chief White House ethics lawyer under
President George W. Bush, said it's outrageous for the Army
Corps of Engineers to spend taxpayer money to increase water
flow in a river so a VP can go canoeing
when budget cuts to the National Park Service have severely
(02:14):
impacted family vacations for everyone else. Okay, a big hit
on the Vice president, but here's the issue every vice
president and president. This gets done to everyone. For example,
I think far worse is when JD. Vance and his
family went to Italy, they shut down the coliseum completely,
(02:40):
tourists were not allowed to go in. While his visit
in India, they shut down the taj Mahal.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Al Gore.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Same thing happened they shut down in as matter of fact,
in nineteen ninety nine, the Connecticut River was shut down
at least that section of it, and utility officials opened
the dam and released four gallons four billion gallons of water,
and the Secret Service is saying, that's what we do
(03:14):
in this case that he's going kayaking, and the Secret Service,
we order the extra water to be released so we
can protect the vice president, so we can get our
butts down there very quickly. So the secret it's a
question of the Secret Service doing this. The bottom line
is really good to be vice president or president. I
(03:35):
mean it is really good. And this is not relegated
to one party or the other. When he went to
visit the Pope, they shut down the Pope. No they didn't,
But how much of the Vatican you think could people
could not go to? I mean entire countries are shut
(03:57):
down when the vice president visit.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's great to be vice president. And here is the argument.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Here's the political argument, and that is, how dare the
Secret Service do this when the cuts to the Park
Service and cuts are going on like crazy. Well, the
Secret Service, the people that make that decision are not
in politics. They're not you know, they don't think about
(04:24):
how much is being spent nationally to close down parks.
They're there just to protect the president or the vice president.
And they'll do any damn thing that they need to do,
and they will.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Now whether they should or not, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's I mean now, especially after that at the assassination
attempt of the president, which I don't know how that
guy got through.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I have no idea how.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
He was able to go through the cracks on that one.
But it's a protection of the Secret Service. And not
only that, also local law enforcement is involved in that,
and the National Park Police would be involved with that
because this was part of the National Park. And so
he got to go down the river with plenty of
(05:14):
water just following his canoe. Now, if you look at
his if you look at his trip, you'll see there's
twelve inches of plenty of water and behind him twelve
inches of plenty of water on the canoe. Everything else
is dry, but he gets to go on the water.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I don't think that's true, by the way, but they
did open it up.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And it's just the cost of doing businesses in this
country when when a president or vice president, when a
president comes down on the West Side, for example, they
always come down to the Democratic president to raise money.
Not that Democratic president needs California for the vote.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They already have it. But they raise a ton of
money from Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You ever been around when a president is driving around
the West side is shut down, just shut down. And
if you're flying during the time Air Force one is
either taking off or landing there they shut down the
airspace for fifteen minutes around the airplate. That helps when
(06:21):
you're trying to take off or land and you have
a connecting flight. Right, Okay, we're done on that one. Now,
looking for a job, how easy is it to get
laid off or to be let go, and how difficult
is it to get rehired.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
The average time to find a new job has increased
to twenty four weeks. It's six months the average time
to find a new job. And as always, networking still
the best way to go.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Working.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
For example, if you want to join an Inuit expat
club here in southern California, there aren't many of them,
but that's part of networking. And you go to the
gym and you go to book clubs, you do whatever
you ask everybody. Now, if you're not networking or you're trying,
(07:20):
that's not working. Let's talk about how expensive job search
tools are. Because people are desperate to find work. You
can't really survive without finding work. And if you're a
senior vice president of finance for a major company, for example,
(07:41):
and the only job that's out there is at Taco Bell,
that is a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Obviously.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
The bottom line is it takes a lot of money
to make money to get work, especially when it comes
to looking for a job. So this story in the
Walla Wall Street Journal about this forty five year old
Josh Morgan senior find nance role months of searching for
a new job. So he paid a company ten thousand
dollars for six months of help. And the company has
(08:10):
weekly meetings with a career strategists to evaluate roles out
there that are open, sources potential jobs from talent recruiters,
a personal website for him. They have proprietary software that
helps him tailor resume a job description.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
That's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You can't just send out a general job description or
a resume that talks about what you have done. You
have to tailor that resume to fit exactly what they need,
whether you have that experience or not. He talked about
this company. He says, they're like a marketing company. I'm
(08:50):
the product. Now that's expensive stuff, but it worn't for him,
and so you got two forces that are dry up
the cost of finding a job for us if you're
laid off. One is the cottage industry of networking. So
you're up against a lot of people networking, job search, subscription,
(09:11):
career coaching services, AI tools all working in competition against you.
So you sort of have to use You have to
join the crowd. You have no choice, and a lot
of positions are unfilled because companies are simply not filling jobs.
(09:34):
They're asking people do twice as much work for the
same money. So it's twenty four weeks now, and the
longer people pound the pavement, the more the costs climb.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So this twenty eight year old Kyle Tally, a former
audio technician, started looking for a job in coding or cybersecurity.
So he spent two hundred dollars on linked In premium
for networking, nine hundred dollars on coding cloud to show
employers is up to speed, fifty bucks for a career coach,
seven hundred dollars for paid I AI tools to help
(10:10):
him with his resume, another five hundred bucks for study
materials for certifications, and that's not even the amount of
money that he did shell out in training for the
new career. So last year he spent seventeen thousand dollars
for an eight month coding boot camp and now plans
(10:30):
to attend college for cybersecurity security.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
So what is my daughter doing doing?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Because she finishes her bachelor's degree in computer engineering and
in a given month that she's looking for the last
several months, she has sent out a hundred resumes, sometimes
per week.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And nada, nada, can't.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Get I think she's gotten three job interviews. And when
they found out she was my daughter, they started laughing
and said, not a chance. If you think you're gonna
work for us, you are crazy. So what is she doing.
She's getting a master's degree, That's what she's doing. She's
(11:18):
getting a master's degree. So a year and a half
from now, she'll be in the same boat, maybe even
a worse position. Man, the world is changed so dramatically.
It used to be when when I got out of college,
there were jobs. When I graduated law school and took
(11:39):
the bar and became an attorney, there were jobs today.
Unless let me give you the world of law, unless
you're in the top ten percent or top twenty percent
out of an Ivy League school, law school out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
There pounding the pavement.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Now, if you are in the ten percent, the top
ten percent out of Harvard, out of Yale, they're looking
for you. And you start at one hundred and sixty
or one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year, which,
by the way, is not particularly good money because the
hours they demand you work is just very close to
minimum wage. But there you are on the track, the
ten year track, the partner track, unless well that's pretty
(12:26):
rarefied air.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Two. Nothing's easy these days.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So Amy, you probably won't have a job here next
week because AI is going to absolutely replace you. We've
already done an AI broadcast of one of my segments
and it worked beautifully, and they don't have to pay me.
We've already done one with I think Neil, and they
(12:54):
went back to Neil because even though AI is sixty
dollars a month the program, they found it was more
expensive than paying Neil.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
All right, done with that.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The anti vax people are anti are added again, except
they're not anti vax this time. They're anti sunscreen this
time around, well at least part of them are. Now
for your dermatologists and health experts have basically talked about
the value of sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and protect
(13:31):
people from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. But of
course there's a growing anti sunscreen movement on social media
that's now caused confusion. Why because it is mainstream medicine,
and it is mainstream medicine manufacturers and therefore and mainstream
(13:52):
doctors and researchers.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So therefore it's all fake news.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Isn't that great? And now more Americans are questioning the
safety of everyday products. I mean, there's just a growing
to stretch distrust in conventional health advice and pharmaceutical companies
and regulators and supporters of what a shocker Robert F.
Kennedy is Make America Healthy Again have now helped revive
(14:20):
skepticism of the sunscreen ingredients such as oxybenzone and titanium dioxide.
And some people are looking for natural alternatives, although you know,
everything is basically chemical in the world. So what is
the alternative Because strangely enough, these two ingredients, unfortunately or
(14:45):
fortunately for us, seem to work. But it's mainstream, So therefore,
how about some alternatives homemade creams and mineral based sunscreens,
and some people are saying, let's not use sunscreen at
all because your body, if you're out there and your
body is turning tan, you have a natural immunity towards
(15:06):
ultraviolet rays.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Of course you do. Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And so those folks in the anti sunscreen movement are
looking at studies suggesting that certain chemicals cause cancer or
absorbed too heavily into the body, and they point to
studies with mice that have taken baths in this stuff
for weeks. And the scientists are saying, you know what,
(15:33):
maybe not now the dioxide, right, that white stuff, And
you've seen the lifeguards at the beach all use that,
and at the pool their noses are all white.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Why do they do that?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, because sunscreen, not only on your nose but across
your body actually works. It actually works in parting you
from the ultraviolet light.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The race the rest of it come on.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Really, oxybenzone has been used since the seventies and sunscreen.
Henry Limb, who was a Senior VP of Academic Affairs
former Chair of Dermatology at Henterford Health Center, he said,
wouldn't we know by now if it caused harm? And
all of the concerns come from animal studies using insanely
(16:29):
high doses, and anti sunscreen messaging can be harmful because
the public looks at skin cancer and it's not the
sunscreen that protects you from it. No, No, it's homemade
creams and crapola. Don't you love the anti medical people.
(16:50):
If it comes from mainstream medicine, then it is bad.
Neil for example, we talked about Neil and his kidney transplant, right,
and he needed it according to mainstream science. But Neil,
how many people emailed you and said, don't do this.
Don't do the transplant. Eat a lot of tarrots and
(17:14):
that'll take care of it.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
You know, you know when holistic metal medicine stops or
things like that. It stops at broken bones and everybody
goes to have it set and put a cast on
and everything like that. But I saw a meme the
other day that made me chuckle, and it was it
was two pictures. One was of a laboratory a bunch
of people in the laboratory and it says vaccine studies,
(17:39):
and then underneath it it had a woman on the
toilet with her pants down and her cell phone and
it said anti vaccine study, which is essentially how things work.
You go on the Internet and you go, oh my gosh,
all this stuff is true, and then there's billions of
dollars going into people studying the vaccines.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But that's the garbage. The real work's done on the can.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Right, The real works done on the Internet. And that's
where we get the real news. On TikTok and YouTube,
that's where we get news, not from the scientific papers.
There was a study coming out of Norway, for example,
and it was one hundred and forty three thousand women
that used SPF fifteen or higher and they had a
(18:23):
thirty three percent lower risk of melanoma compared to women
who use less than thirty three percent or less than
SPF fifteen or none at all. And yeah, you know,
this reminds me of what happened during COVID and the vaccines,
and you don't take the vaccine and people were dying
like crazy, and then on the ventilator they were begging
(18:47):
for vaccines, begging, Hey too late, partner, been nice knowing
you enjoy your death. Now, this is a fun one.
Just did a press conference with President Trump and he
talked about the crime rate in Washington, d C. And
(19:08):
how it is out of control and it is the
worst that has ever been And the problem is it's
not out of control. Crime rate is actually down, but
that doesn't matter when we deal with and he's talking
about By the way, I want to take a quick
tangential point here. They talk about bringing in the National Guard,
(19:31):
federalizing the National Guard, and bringing in federal troops to
deal with the crime rate that is out of control,
even though it has gone gone down pretty pretty substantially.
So in addition to that, the homeless have to leave
Washington DC or face eviction. And he promised to use
(19:52):
federal officers to jail criminals. Okay, even though crime is
down at a thirty year low, but that doesn't matter.
So moving over to homeless, here's what he wrote on
true Social yesterday morning. The homeless have to move out immediately.
We'll give you place to stay, but far from the Capitol.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
The fact is this was right after he was being
driven from the White House to his golf club in Virginia,
and part of that were four photographs apparently taken from
the motorcade along the route. Two of them showed a
total of ten tenths pitched on the grass along Highway
on ramp about a mile from the White House. A
(20:33):
third one showed a single person sleeping on the steps
of the American Institute of Pharmacy building. The fourth one
showed a line of vehicles that whisk Trump to the
golf course, passing a small amount of roadside litter. And
he is talking about stopping the violent crime and getting
(20:55):
rid of the homeless. Now the reality he is, well,
let me give you a statement from the Community Partnership.
Obviously biased. They work to permit homelessness on any given night,
about eight hundred unsheltered persons. That's from them sleeping outdoors
in the city seven hundred thousand people. A further thirty
(21:16):
two hundred people use emergency shelters in Washington, and a
thousand people are in transitional housing facility. And so the
problem is data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department that's
completely ignored. And the fact that he was on his
(21:37):
way to his golf course when he did this, you know,
I don't know, is that coincidental?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I think so, because he didn't do it just because
it's on the way to the from his to his
golf course, I think he genuinely thinks all of Washington
d C. Is riddled with homeless and he has to
deal with it. So this is, in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Kind of stupid.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You know, the president talking about this and federalizing Washington,
d C and taking over Washington DC. So while that
crap is going on, we're not talking enough about what
he did within Vidia. What he did within Vidia, one
of the world's most valuable companies that builds these chips overseas,
(22:27):
and he's nailing them with tariffs.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Says I'll tell you what, I'll lower the terriffs.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
If you give the US government fifteen percent of what
you bring in as a business. That's never been done before.
And this one, well, I don't have a problem with this. Again,
this president has done things that nobody has done. For example,
he put together the peace deal between aber Iger, Bizan
(22:58):
and who else I keep mine was the Turkeys Stan.
I don't know which two country. No, abbertjes On is
one of them that's never been done. Thirty years they've
been fighting and he's the one that put it together.
That's very impressive. He also was pitching for the Nobel
Peace Prize. The entire press conference, I might add, Yeah,
(23:21):
there's good, there's bad, and it's my job to scream
at good and scream at bad. We're done, guys. That's
it for a miserable Monday, August eleventh. Tomorrow morning, all
over again, Amy and Will with wake up call, Neil
and I jump aboard until right now at six o'clock
(23:42):
to now, and then, of course we think sort of
because I have to Kno and Ann, who put all
this together, and we can never do this without them.
Probably better, Okay, Gary and Shannon are up next, and
we'll catch you tomorrow. KF I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 1 (24:08):

You're listenings KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles show

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Monday morning, August eleventh.
Speaker 1 (00:09):

Speaker 2 (01:03):
All right, Yeah, that's not going to happen. A story
about JD.
Speaker 1 (01:06):

that is a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Obviously.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
The bottom line is it takes a lot of money
to make money to get work, especially when it comes
to looking for a job. So this story in the
Walla Wall Street Journal about this forty five year old
Josh Morgan senior find nance role months of searching for
a new job. So he paid a company ten thousand
dollars for six months of help. And the company has
(08:10):
weekly meetings with a career strategists to evaluate roles out
there that are open, sources potential jobs from talent recruiters,
a personal website for him. They have proprietary software that
helps him tailor resume a job description.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
That's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You can't just send out a general job description or
a resume that talks about what you have done. You
have to tailor that resume to fit exactly what they need,
whether you have that experience or not. He talked about
this company. He says, they're like a marketing company. I'm
(08:50):
the product. Now that's expensive stuff, but it worn't for him,
and so you got two forces that are dry up
the cost of finding a job for us if you're
laid off. One is the cottage industry of networking. So
you're up against a lot of people networking, job search, subscription,
(09:11):
career coaching services, AI tools all working in competition against you.
So you sort of have to use You have to
join the crowd. You have no choice, and a lot
of positions are unfilled because companies are simply not filling jobs.
(09:34):
They're asking people do twice as much work for the
same money. So it's twenty four weeks now, and the
longer people pound the pavement, the more the costs climb.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So this twenty eight year old Kyle Tally, a former
audio technician, started looking for a job in coding or cybersecurity.
So he spent two hundred dollars on linked In premium
for networking, nine hundred dollars on coding cloud to show
employers is up to speed, fifty bucks for a career coach,
seven hundred dollars for paid I AI tools to help
(10:10):
him with his resume, another five hundred bucks for study
materials for certifications, and that's not even the amount of
money that he did shell out in training for the
new career. So last year he spent seventeen thousand dollars
for an eight month coding boot camp and now plans
(10:30):
to attend college for cybersecurity security.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
So what is my daughter doing doing?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Because she finishes her bachelor's degree in computer engineering and
in a given month that she's looking for the last
several months, she has sent out a hundred resumes, sometimes
per week.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And nada, nada, can't.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Get I think she's gotten three job interviews. And when
they found out she was my daughter, they started laughing
and said, not a chance. If you think you're gonna
work for us, you are crazy. So what is she doing.
She's getting a master's degree, That's what she's doing. She's
(11:18):
getting a master's degree. So a year and a half
from now, she'll be in the same boat, maybe even
a worse position. Man, the world is changed so dramatically.
It used to be when when I got out of college,
there were jobs. When I graduated law school and took
(11:39):
the bar and became an attorney, there were jobs today.
Unless let me give you the world of law, unless
you're in the top ten percent or top twenty percent
out of an Ivy League school, law school out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
There pounding the pavement.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Now, if you are in the ten percent, the top
ten percent out of Harvard, out of Yale, they're looking
for you. And you start at one hundred and sixty
or one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year, which,
by the way, is not particularly good money because the
hours they demand you work is just very close to
minimum wage. But there you are on the track, the
ten year track, the partner track, unless well that's pretty
(12:26):
rarefied air.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Two. Nothing's easy these days.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So Amy, you probably won't have a job here next
week because AI is going to absolutely replace you. We've
already done an AI broadcast of one of my segments
and it worked beautifully, and they don't have to pay me.
We've already done one with I think Neil, and they
(12:54):
went back to Neil because even though AI is sixty
dollars a month the program, they found it was more
expensive than paying Neil.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
All right, done with that.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The anti vax people are anti are added again, except
they're not anti vax this time. They're anti sunscreen this
time around, well at least part of them are. Now
for your dermatologists and health experts have basically talked about
the value of sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and protect
(13:31):
people from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. But of
course there's a growing anti sunscreen movement on social media
that's now caused confusion. Why because it is mainstream medicine,
and it is mainstream medicine manufacturers and therefore and mainstream
(13:52):
doctors and researchers.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So therefore it's all fake news.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Isn't that great? And now more Americans are questioning the
safety of everyday products. I mean, there's just a growing
to stretch distrust in conventional health advice and pharmaceutical companies
and regulators and supporters of what a shocker Robert F.
Kennedy is Make America Healthy Again have now helped revive
(14:20):
skepticism of the sunscreen ingredients such as oxybenzone and titanium dioxide.
And some people are looking for natural alternatives, although you know,
everything is basically chemical in the world. So what is
the alternative Because strangely enough, these two ingredients, unfortunately or
(14:45):
fortunately for us, seem to work. But it's mainstream, So therefore,
how about some alternatives homemade creams and mineral based sunscreens,
and some people are saying, let's not use sunscreen at
all because your body, if you're out there and your
body is turning tan, you have a natural immunity towards
(15:06):
ultraviolet rays.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Of course you do. Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And so those folks in the anti sunscreen movement are
looking at studies suggesting that certain chemicals cause cancer or
absorbed too heavily into the body, and they point to
studies with mice that have taken baths in this stuff
for weeks. And the scientists are saying, you know what,
(15:33):
maybe not now the dioxide, right, that white stuff, And
you've seen the lifeguards at the beach all use that,
and at the pool their noses are all white.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Why do they do that?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, because sunscreen, not only on your nose but across
your body actually works. It actually works in parting you
from the ultraviolet light.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The race the rest of it come on.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Really, oxybenzone has been used since the seventies and sunscreen.
Henry Limb, who was a Senior VP of Academic Affairs
former Chair of Dermatology at Henterford Health Center, he said,
wouldn't we know by now if it caused harm? And
all of the concerns come from animal studies using insanely
(16:29):
high doses, and anti sunscreen messaging can be harmful because
the public looks at skin cancer and it's not the
sunscreen that protects you from it. No, No, it's homemade
creams and crapola. Don't you love the anti medical people.
(16:50):
If it comes from mainstream medicine, then it is bad.
Neil for example, we talked about Neil and his kidney transplant, right,
and he needed it according to mainstream science. But Neil,
how many people emailed you and said, don't do this.
Don't do the transplant. Eat a lot of tarrots and
(17:14):
that'll take care of it.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
You know, you know when holistic metal medicine stops or
things like that. It stops at broken bones and everybody
goes to have it set and put a cast on
and everything like that. But I saw a meme the
other day that made me chuckle, and it was it
was two pictures. One was of a laboratory a bunch
of people in the laboratory and it says vaccine studies,
(17:39):
and then underneath it it had a woman on the
toilet with her pants down and her cell phone and
it said anti vaccine study, which is essentially how things work.
You go on the Internet and you go, oh my gosh,
all this stuff is true, and then there's billions of
dollars going into people studying the vaccines.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But that's the garbage. The real work's done on the can.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Right, The real works done on the Internet. And that's
where we get the real news. On TikTok and YouTube,
that's where we get news, not from the scientific papers.
There was a study coming out of Norway, for example,
and it was one hundred and forty three thousand women
that used SPF fifteen or higher and they had a
(18:23):
thirty three percent lower risk of melanoma compared to women
who use less than thirty three percent or less than
SPF fifteen or none at all. And yeah, you know,
this reminds me of what happened during COVID and the vaccines,
and you don't take the vaccine and people were dying
like crazy, and then on the ventilator they were begging
(18:47):
for vaccines, begging, Hey too late, partner, been nice knowing
you enjoy your death. Now, this is a fun one.
Just did a press conference with President Trump and he
talked about the crime rate in Washington, d C. And
(19:08):
how it is out of control and it is the
worst that has ever been And the problem is it's
not out of control. Crime rate is actually down, but
that doesn't matter when we deal with and he's talking
about By the way, I want to take a quick
tangential point here. They talk about bringing in the National Guard,
(19:31):
federalizing the National Guard, and bringing in federal troops to
deal with the crime rate that is out of control,
even though it has gone gone down pretty pretty substantially.
So in addition to that, the homeless have to leave
Washington DC or face eviction. And he promised to use
(19:52):
federal officers to jail criminals. Okay, even though crime is
down at a thirty year low, but that doesn't matter.
So moving over to homeless, here's what he wrote on
true Social yesterday morning. The homeless have to move out immediately.
We'll give you place to stay, but far from the Capitol.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
The fact is this was right after he was being
driven from the White House to his golf club in Virginia,
and part of that were four photographs apparently taken from
the motorcade along the route. Two of them showed a
total of ten tenths pitched on the grass along Highway
on ramp about a mile from the White House. A
(20:33):
third one showed a single person sleeping on the steps
of the American Institute of Pharmacy building. The fourth one
showed a line of vehicles that whisk Trump to the
golf course, passing a small amount of roadside litter. And
he is talking about stopping the violent crime and getting
(20:55):
rid of the homeless. Now the reality he is, well,
let me give you a statement from the Community Partnership.
Obviously biased. They work to permit homelessness on any given night,
about eight hundred unsheltered persons. That's from them sleeping outdoors
in the city seven hundred thousand people. A further thirty
(21:16):
two hundred people use emergency shelters in Washington, and a
thousand people are in transitional housing facility. And so the
problem is data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department that's
completely ignored. And the fact that he was on his
(21:37):
way to his golf course when he did this, you know,
I don't know, is that coincidental?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I think so, because he didn't do it just because
it's on the way to the from his to his
golf course, I think he genuinely thinks all of Washington
d C. Is riddled with homeless and he has to
deal with it. So this is, in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Kind of stupid.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You know, the president talking about this and federalizing Washington,
d C and taking over Washington DC. So while that
crap is going on, we're not talking enough about what
he did within Vidia. What he did within Vidia, one
of the world's most valuable companies that builds these chips overseas,
(22:27):
and he's nailing them with tariffs.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Says I'll tell you what, I'll lower the terriffs.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
If you give the US government fifteen percent of what
you bring in as a business. That's never been done before.
And this one, well, I don't have a problem with this. Again,
this president has done things that nobody has done. For example,
he put together the peace deal between aber Iger, Bizan
(22:58):
and who else I keep mine was the Turkeys Stan.
I don't know which two country. No, abbertjes On is
one of them that's never been done. Thirty years they've
been fighting and he's the one that put it together.
That's very impressive. He also was pitching for the Nobel
Peace Prize. The entire press conference, I might add, Yeah,
(23:21):
there's good, there's bad, and it's my job to scream
at good and scream at bad. We're done, guys. That's
it for a miserable Monday, August eleventh. Tomorrow morning, all
over again, Amy and Will with wake up call, Neil
and I jump aboard until right now at six o'clock
(23:42):
to now, and then, of course we think sort of
because I have to Kno and Ann, who put all
this together, and we can never do this without them.
Probably better, Okay, Gary and Shannon are up next, and
we'll catch you tomorrow. KF I am six forty.
