Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to bill Handle on demand from kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
An. I'm passing KFI AM six forty bill handle here
(00:27):
on a Twoco Tuesday Taco Tuesday, August eleventh, and some
of the big stories. We're looking at the death toll
from that earthquake that hit well, it was Columbia is
way up now, way up.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
So one's sixty right now. It just went up again.
They're expecting it to go up as they continue looking
for Oh, it's going to be in the thousands.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
As you looked at these buildings, apartment buildings collapsing.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I mean, it's just god awful.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Also the winning tickets of which there were none again
on the lottery.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Now it's what way over nine.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hundred million dollars is going to probably if there's no winner,
because tomorrow night's drawing, they're going to figure at least
nine hundred and seventy five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So it's just kissing a billion dollars. Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Something going on, as always, another fight between California and
the Feds, the fight between California and particularly Donald Trump,
it does not stop, it keeps on going. And here
is the latest shot against California. First of all, we
start with a little bit of history. Over fifty years ago,
(01:42):
the California Coastal Commission was created to protect the state's
eight hundred and forty miles short shoreline. The Trump administration
is viewing the agency as a blockade to development and
once to curb its power. Now is the Trump administrations
that have the power to stop the state? Not really,
(02:05):
except it really does, and I'll explain why. So yesterday NOAH,
the National Oceanic and administer Adminispheric adminispheric at yeah whatever, misspheric, Yeah, yeah,
the atmosphere way up there, you know, up in the sky.
The administration I held a public hearing in Santa Monica,
(02:26):
and this was the first step in the Trump administration's
review of the powers of the Commission and other organizations
that oversee the coastline. The acting director at NOAH has
said that during this evaluation, that's what the hearing was about. Uh,
the agency is going to consider the extent in which
California has implemented and enforced programs and going to look
(02:50):
at coastal management and look at the terms of grants
or loans from the federal government. This is where the
fud have. Feds have enormous power. It's if you don't
do what we tell you to do, there ain't no
money going to you. And keep in mind that virtually
(03:11):
every public entity, the schools, everything, rely on federal money.
That's how states get a lot of their money. The
Feds come in and the administration is saying, you know,
we don't like California. You don't do what we want
to do, so here we go. And so a lot
of this is limiting the powers of the Commission. They're
(03:32):
arguing that too, that the very powers of the Commission
are illegal because of the administration's position.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We want more oil drilling offshore.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
We want to allow development of property and win POWERO.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They don't want win power.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
But fossil fuel plants. We want to control all that,
even along the cote. Now I will tell you about
the Coastal Commission. It is a pain in the ass
for anybody who has built or remodeled or tried to
buy coastal property. You deal with the Coastal Commission, and
(04:13):
they are brutal. They do not like the Commission, does
not like building, does not like you living there, does
not like anything that gets involved.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
And in the way of birds.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You remember the snail darter that was a commission issue,
this tiny little fish that the Coastal Commission just stopped
all construction of an already approved I think it was
a dam or some kind of a water facility. And
they said the snail darter indigenous to want only one
(04:47):
part of the river involved and it so it stopped it,
right because they couldn't find They couldn't find the snail
dart or anyplace else. It was indigenous and it at risk. Okay,
so they stopped the cold. In the meantime, a year later,
there are a bunch of hikers that were hiking in
another part of the delta and they ran across the
(05:10):
river that they were literally stepping over snail garters. Right,
they were like rocks that you stepped over on the water.
I mean, this is the Coastal Commission. They are completely nuts. Now,
the issue is does California have the ability to control
its own shores? For the most part, states do. And
(05:34):
so the argument is going to be how far do
the FEDS control what heretofore the states controlled, Because as
you know, the administration is pushing very hard on it
has control over everything. It does not like states' rights,
which is interesting because conservatives likes states rights. The tenth
(05:55):
Amendment is a very big deal to conservative the conservative
political parties. To the conservative political view is the government
should not be involved. The Feds should not be involved,
States should be involved, States should decide. Except under the
Trump administration that is reversed completely. The states should have
(06:17):
no power. The Fed should have power. So now we've
got the Coastal Commission. And incidentally, what's going to happen
if the money is in fact cut off? They will
be lawsuits. Why will there be lawsuits? Because other states
will get money? The Southern states, they're coastlined, coastlines that
(06:37):
are regulated by whatever commissions they have. There's going to
be no argument that they have the ability to do that.
California does not. Because the fight continues, Rob Bonte, our
attorney general, has filed I don't know, hundreds of lawsuits
against the administration, hundreds in terms of the way we
(07:01):
we Californians deal with the law, deal with California land.
And it's just unfair that you're okay with Southern states
doing it and you're stopping us from doing it. And
that's what's happening. So there you go, Coastal Commission. I
mean there was you know, I talked to a I
talked to a developer once who wanted to build, and
(07:25):
there is a protected time when sea turtles you can't
build it during the time when sea turtles this is
on the coast are moving in because you know, you
can't get in.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The way of sea turtles.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And at the same time, there was indigenous animals that
were going towards the sea, and you couldn't build during
that time. And the two crossed over. There was no
time left where building was to take place. You couldn't build.
And that's how crazy the Coastal Commission is. Okay, there
(08:00):
was a story that we followed and that had to
do with the President not taking the new Katari airplane
from Ankora to the US. And then the story goes
he took the old air Force one because he wanted
to give service members in England the chance to see it.
(08:24):
And it sounded beyond stupid, and it was the big
issue is that the new airplane didn't have the security
that it needed. Well, the story got much bigger than that,
and it turns out that there was a method to
this madness where the president this was not anything that
wasn't exactly what he should have done. Why, because there
(08:45):
was a real threat, a credible thread that the Iranians
were going to attack, probably the airplane or his trip.
And so what happened is the secret service secretly took
him off the old Air Force one and put them
put him on another military plane, basically a seven fifty seven.
(09:09):
And the way it was done so basically very few
people knew. He was hiding the fact. The government was
hiding the fact. And they've done this before when a
president has to go certain places in which there's a
real threat. And in this case, the president boards old
Air Force one in front of reporters.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And waves, hey, I'm going home.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And what they did is he went out the other
side of the airplane, you know where the catering trucks
where the catering containers are put on, and he was
sneaked on to that and he was in the container
and it was brought to that seven fifty seven where
he secretly flew back home. And it was all because
(09:55):
of the threat. Has there ever been an attack on
Air Force one, not the we know of, not that
we know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
If we don't except in the movie with Harrison Ford.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Don't forget the pod that he took to safely lay on.
No pod on the airplane. Although there are plenty of
security measures on the air force, one which is why
it costs billions of dollars to harden the airplane against
a nuclear blast, and other defensive defensive methods to well
(10:26):
being attacked. And I think one of them is chaff
which they move and fly little bits of aluminum out
the plane that will come from World War Two.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I don't know if it has that.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
We do know that it is hardened because if a
nuclear blast happens, the radioactivity where the radiation kills electricity
on the airplane. So it's built there and it's literally
billions of dollars to do that. So he was sneaked
off the airplane very successfully because no one knew it
was happening for security reasons, because of a credible threat.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And that was that's been done before. It was done
with George W.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Bush on a flight to the Mideast, it was done
with Bill Clinton on a flight to Pakistan, and it
has been done when presidents secretly still want to do
what presidents should do and want to do visiting troops,
for example, in the theaters, in military theaters, war theaters,
and they have to hide the fact. So that's part
(11:28):
of Secret Service. So what he said was part of
the ruse. That was it. It was legitimate. There was
a real threat, according to the Secret Service, and he
did exactly what he did. Now let's do the visual.
He is crammed inside one of those food containers. I guess,
(11:51):
sitting next to the well. He would be with the
first class meals because he wouldn't deign to be with
the economy meals in the container.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
About the code name, you think it was code Nate
orange chick, orange chicken.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, I know. We're chicken on the move, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And everybody was fooled and they did it. They did
it the way they should have done any and he
was part of it. Of course, he cooperated, and it
was a good thing. It's the president getting nailed for
something he shouldn't have gotten nailed for. But there was
no choice because they had to come up with some
crazy ass reason for him to have to fly the
old Air Force one, and they did. We're taking the
(12:30):
new Air Force one and we're moving to England. So
our servicemen can tore it and talk about what a
great airplane it was. You go, come on, is that
that stupid? Well, they had to come up with something,
and they did. Okay, here's a question, and that is
the Democrats are looking at winning the mid terms and
winning twenty twenty eight based on let's fight Donald Trump. Okay,
(12:56):
that's one. That's a big problem. The other problem is
how about them Democratic socialists.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, you put the two together, and it doesn't help.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Recent polls show fifty three percent of the American public
view the Democratic Party unfavorably. The Democratic Party should be
on top of the heap right now based on how
unhappy people are with America and the Republican Party. Nope,
just as as unhappy with the Democrats. And why is
that one of the reasons leadership in Congress It's old,
(13:29):
I mean old, uninspiring, and that may explain why twenty
four percent of the public approve the way Congressional Democrats
are handling their job. That's miserable. So you go to
twenty twenty eight. Among most people likely to vote in
the primaries, the Democratic primaries, there is a pronounced age
(13:51):
split voters under thirty. Are you ready for this favor
Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortes. Can you imagine her being the
President of the United States?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Man, what the hell is going on?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Where California Governor Gavin Newsom leads among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Over sixty five? Boy, is there a split?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Even Trump's declining popularity, I mean, it is falling like
a rock has not given Democrats a boost. And the
only ray of hope, the only thing that's going up
for the Democrats is the enthusiasm generated by people who
call themselves Democratic socialists about a third of those who
(14:43):
identify as Democrats. Now that gets kind of interesting because
the voters hate the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The Democrats hate the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Republicans are not pleased with Republicans either, the Republican Party,
and it is a mess going on. And so for
the most part, most Americans hate Trump. Most Americans hate
the Democratic Party. Most Americans hate We're talking about within
the party, not through it with the Republican Party. Matter
of fact, Trump only has MAGA as his base. And so,
(15:18):
what the hell's going on? What's going to happen? The
only group of people that are in an upswing well,
Democratic socialists Mandami for example, wins the mayorship of New
York and he is about as left wing as you get.
The Jews aren't particularly in favor of him either. He's
(15:40):
a Muslim in some very anti Semitic statements are attributed
to him. But basically he's anti Israel, pro Palestinian.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
That's a given.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And so he is being called a communist and Democratic
socialists are being called communists.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
They're not. Now we have labels being thrown around.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Communism is government ownership of everything, no private ownership. Now,
as Amy pointed up, Mondami wants government ownership of grocery stores.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Amy, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
What he wants to do is set up five different
stores that are owned by the government, five just five,
one in each borough.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now is that a slippery slope? Who knows?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
By the way, the government already owns businesses, private businesses,
grocery stores. What do you think commissaries are on military basis?
Those are government owned. And by the way, don't argue that,
oh it has to be because there a military basis,
because there are subways in McDonald's pizza places that are
privately owned on military basis.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
In socialism, major industries and factories are owned by the
public or the government. The difference with that and Communeianism
is that all property, private property is completely eliminated.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But there that's my point. There's no such thing as
private as private property. It's all owned by the government.
And Mandami doesn't want that. The socialists don't want that.
They want huge regulation that they do big time for Now.
By the way, co ops are owned by the people.
They're not owned privately. Uh, they're not private businesses correctly
(17:28):
the people. Uh, but they're owned by the members. But
is the public the public? They just everybody just has
to be a member. They're not owned. It's not private business,
is my point. Uh, and it is Uh. You know,
you can't throw the word communism out there. You're not
going to see Carl Marx. Uh the you're photos.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You don't start that way. That's the whole Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
That okay, So now we're talking slippery slope. Now you're
talking slippery slope. And for example, the gun advocates any
any attempt to regulate guns, any attempt is the slippery slope.
But that's which is why Lotion bill, that's an interpretation
of the constitution. Well, how by the way, the way
(18:14):
the Constitution is.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Interpreted is private business.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Private business is part of America, the thought of the Constitution.
There's nothing in the Constitution that says or is even
interpreted as saying, government must own or government will own businesses.
By the way, mom, dommy is can you imagine what's
he what is he going to do? He is going
to what try to pass the law saying there's no
(18:40):
such thing as privately owned businesses.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He can't do that. He can't do that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Now he can set up a governmental store. He can
certainly set up well changing utilities which are already owned
by the government. By the way, utilities, for the most part,
there's two kinds. There are government utilities and there are
privately owned utilities. That's government ownership.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Socialism cannot scale and is not the structure of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Here. All I'm saying is it's a different You cannot
argue that socialism is in fact communism because it's not,
by the way, social democrats. I don't hear other than
Mandami arguing that the government is in fact own everything.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
How about this one?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
How many private policing organizations are government owned? How about
internment centers if you want to call them that the
government has for illegal aliens. Privately owned. It happens all
the time. How about Oh, how about this public buildings,
(19:50):
the parking lots, publicly owned. It happens, but it happens simultaneously,
and so it's not going to happen not that way. Now,
is it going to be more government involved?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I can see Mondami setting up, uh, basically a grocery
store that's government owned.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I can see that. But it's not going to stop
privately owned grocery stores. He can never do that.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
By the way, I'm not a big fan of social democrats,
don't misunderstand. But at the same time, you know, you
can only go so far. You can only say the
slippery slope and.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
The first it's an oxymoron, all right, Anyway, I just
wanted to point that out. Social democrats be prepared for
social democrats, is what I said.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Dummyno, dis corrected me, because it's a moron. You can't
be you can't be democratic and socialistic.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Actually you can, because you can vote if you start
taking away things. Well, how about this, what happens if
the people vote for the kind of socialism that democracy,
But that's not democracy, that's not the bass about communism.
You can only vote for it once. All right, that's
actually not true. You can vote communist governments in and out.
(21:05):
It has happened and will in the future. Okay, we're
done with this. Coming up, well, neurotechnology in planting brain.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Brain control, mind control, implanting devices in your head. oOoOO,
that almost works, I know, I just try to. Yeah,
science fiction didn't work at all. Okay, there's a story
that you know, I find fascinating. I haven't really thought
about this very much, although big big picture I have.
(21:41):
Brain sensors are advancing, as in implanting sensors in your
brain to gather information and maybe help make decisions if
someone else is controlling it. By the way, no one
business and people aren't per se against implanting brain sensors
(22:04):
because a lot of good can come of it. That's
it can help blind people, see it can help. For example,
you can people that have prosthetic arms because they've lost
their arms and there's no way for the arms to move.
But modern technology allows them just to think that the
(22:25):
arm is moving, and then they've therefore they can move
their fingers around, move the arms around, and we're just
talking about brain sensation, the.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Messages coming from the brains, good things.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
No one's really against the ability to do this because
there's too much positive to this. It's the data that's
being gathered and can be gathered. That's what's scaring people.
That's what's scaring workers because what do they do with
the data?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Because certainly brains sensors have the ability to transmit whatever
is not whatever is in your mind, but certainly information
and now comes a big, big issue who gets hold
of that data because it just doesn't stop. I mean,
it isn't just limited to moving limbs around and helping
(23:20):
people see, helping people walk, helping people move wheelchairs, etc.
Where you have absolutely no ability to move any muscles.
You know, it's a good thing. But the scary part
is the data collection. And it can be used to
(23:41):
help PTSD, but it could also be used to analyze
mental health disorders, for example depression PTSD.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's good, but it could also allow hiring or firing.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Decisions because if your boss gets hold of this information,
that becomes a problem. How about predicting words or images
that form in someone's mind that has that they have
those brain sensors. That technology has the ability to do that,
So it becomes a minority report the movie where basically
(24:19):
the companies though where you're going, what you're thinking? Where
are you going to go looking at the pattern? Now?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Are you going to be a flake?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Are you the person that has a tremendous.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Motivation to work? Currently?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Neuro it's neurotechnology and it's it's being used by the way.
Hitachi has a company brain watering headbands, and it's designed
to keep tabs on people's alertness that are working in
sensitive industries mining, trucking, et cetera. And a lot of
neurotech companies are here in California, including brain implant makers Neurlink,
(25:01):
and it's augmented reality startups. So it doesn't necessarily have
to be implanted. These sensors headbands. I mean, you look
at light detector tests right, or you look at brain scans.
They can read you know how fast things are going
(25:22):
through your brain, what parts of your brain are being used,
and they can read, for example, one part of your
brain is not up to what normal standards are. Therefore
you're going to have a problem with X, Y and
Z memory problems. For example, they can figure that out.
You want to hire someone that has memory problems, Well,
you got the data right there, and they're going to
(25:44):
share the data or maybe not. So science is way ahead.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Of the law.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
It always has been, always, and I have personal experience
with that because in my world of reproductive technology, early on,
very early days, the laws didn't even come close to
dealing with it, not even close, and it took years
for the law to catch up with what was going on.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Scientifically, same situation here.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The technology is there, I mean, we're getting very close
to this where the information gathered is absolutely extraordinary. And
what it can do and where does it go? That
is the big issue. And here we go the laws
of privacy. Have they dealt with this?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
No? Not really will they? There's no choice? Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Coming up Rich Demurrow and it's a tech segment with Rich,
which we do every Tuesday. This is KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Catch my show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to bill Handle on demand from kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
An. I'm passing KFI AM six forty bill handle here
(00:27):
on a Twoco Tuesday Taco Tuesday, August eleventh, and some
of the big stories. We're looking at the death toll
from that earthquake that hit well, it was Columbia is
way up now, way up.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
So one's sixty right now. It just went up again.
They're expecting it to go up as they continue looking
for Oh, it's going to be in the thousands.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
As you looked at these buildings, apartment buildings collapsing.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I mean, it's just god awful.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Also the winning tickets of which there were none again
on the lottery.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Now it's what way over nine.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hundred million dollars is going to probably if there's no winner,
because tomorrow night's drawing, they're going to figure at least
nine hundred and seventy five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So it's just kissing a billion dollars. Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Something going on, as always, another fight between California and
the Feds, the fight between California and particularly Donald Trump,
it does not stop, it keeps on going. And here
is the latest shot against California. First of all, we
start with a little bit of history. Over fifty years ago,
(01:42):
the California Coastal Commission was created to protect the state's
eight hundred and forty miles short shoreline. The Trump administration
is viewing the agency as a blockade to development and
once to curb its power. Now is the Trump administrations
that have the power to stop the state? Not really,
(02:05):
except it really does, and I'll explain why. So yesterday NOAH,
the National Oceanic and administer Adminispheric adminispheric at yeah whatever, misspheric, Yeah, yeah,
the atmosphere way up there, you know, up in the sky.
The administration I held a public hearing in Santa Monica,
(02:26):
and this was the first step in the Trump administration's
review of the powers of the Commission and other organizations
that oversee the coastline. The acting director at NOAH has
said that during this evaluation, that's what the hearing was about. Uh,
the agency is going to consider the extent in which
California has implemented and enforced programs and going to look
(02:50):
at coastal management and look at the terms of grants
or loans from the federal government. This is where the
fud have. Feds have enormous power. It's if you don't
do what we tell you to do, there ain't no
money going to you. And keep in mind that virtually
(03:11):
every public entity, the schools, everything, rely on federal money.
That's how states get a lot of their money. The
Feds come in and the administration is saying, you know,
we don't like California. You don't do what we want
to do, so here we go. And so a lot
of this is limiting the powers of the Commission. They're
(03:32):
arguing that too, that the very powers of the Commission
are illegal because of the administration's position.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We want more oil drilling offshore.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
We want to allow development of property and win POWERO.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They don't want win power.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
But fossil fuel plants. We want to control all that,
even along the cote. Now I will tell you about
the Coastal Commission. It is a pain in the ass
for anybody who has built or remodeled or tried to
buy coastal property. You deal with the Coastal Commission, and
(04:13):
they are brutal. They do not like the Commission, does
not like building, does not like you living there, does
not like anything that gets involved.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
And in the way of birds.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You remember the snail darter that was a commission issue,
this tiny little fish that the Coastal Commission just stopped
all construction of an already approved I think it was
a dam or some kind of a water facility. And
they said the snail darter indigenous to want only one
(04:47):
part of the river involved and it so it stopped it,
right because they couldn't find They couldn't find the snail
dart or anyplace else. It was indigenous and it at risk. Okay,
so they stopped the cold. In the meantime, a year later,
there are a bunch of hikers that were hiking in
another part of the delta and they ran across the
(05:10):
river that they were literally stepping over snail garters. Right,
they were like rocks that you stepped over on the water.
I mean, this is the Coastal Commission. They are completely nuts. Now,
the issue is does California have the ability to control
its own shores? For the most part, states do. And
(05:34):
so the argument is going to be how far do
the FEDS control what heretofore the states controlled, Because as
you know, the administration is pushing very hard on it
has control over everything. It does not like states' rights,
which is interesting because conservatives likes states rights. The tenth
(05:55):
Amendment is a very big deal to conservative the conservative
political parties. To the conservative political view is the government
should not be involved. The Feds should not be involved,
States should be involved, States should decide. Except under the
Trump administration that is reversed completely. The states should have
(06:17):
no power. The Fed should have power. So now we've
got the Coastal Commission. And incidentally, what's going to happen
if the money is in fact cut off? They will
be lawsuits. Why will there be lawsuits? Because other states
will get money? The Southern states, they're coastlined, coastlines that
(06:37):
are regulated by whatever commissions they have. There's going to
be no argument that they have the ability to do that.
California does not. Because the fight continues, Rob Bonte, our
attorney general, has filed I don't know, hundreds of lawsuits
against the administration, hundreds in terms of the way we
(07:01):
we Californians deal with the law, deal with California land.
And it's just unfair that you're okay with Southern states
doing it and you're stopping us from doing it. And
that's what's happening. So there you go, Coastal Commission. I
mean there was you know, I talked to a I
talked to a developer once who wanted to build, and
(07:25):
there is a protected time when sea turtles you can't
build it during the time when sea turtles this is
on the coast are moving in because you know, you
can't get in.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The way of sea turtles.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And at the same time, there was indigenous animals that
were going towards the sea, and you couldn't build during
that time. And the two crossed over. There was no
time left where building was to take place. You couldn't build.
And that's how crazy the Coastal Commission is. Okay, there
(08:00):
was a story that we followed and that had to
do with the President not taking the new Katari airplane
from Ankora to the US. And then the story goes
he took the old air Force one because he wanted
to give service members in England the chance to see it.
(08:24):
And it sounded beyond stupid, and it was the big
issue is that the new airplane didn't have the security
that it needed. Well, the story got much bigger than that,
and it turns out that there was a method to
this madness where the president this was not anything that
wasn't exactly what he should have done. Why, because there
(08:45):
was a real threat, a credible thread that the Iranians
were going to attack, probably the airplane or his trip.
And so what happened is the secret service secretly took
him off the old Air Force one and put them
put him on another military plane, basically a seven fifty seven.
(09:09):
And the way it was done so basically very few
people knew. He was hiding the fact. The government was
hiding the fact. And they've done this before when a
president has to go certain places in which there's a
real threat. And in this case, the president boards old
Air Force one in front of reporters.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And waves, hey, I'm going home.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And what they did is he went out the other
side of the airplane, you know where the catering trucks
where the catering containers are put on, and he was
sneaked on to that and he was in the container
and it was brought to that seven fifty seven where
he secretly flew back home. And it was all because
(09:55):
of the threat. Has there ever been an attack on
Air Force one, not the we know of, not that
we know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
If we don't except in the movie with Harrison Ford.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Don't forget the pod that he took to safely lay on.
No pod on the airplane. Although there are plenty of
security measures on the air force, one which is why
it costs billions of dollars to harden the airplane against
a nuclear blast, and other defensive defensive methods to well
(10:26):
being attacked. And I think one of them is chaff
which they move and fly little bits of aluminum out
the plane that will come from World War Two.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I don't know if it has that.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
We do know that it is hardened because if a
nuclear blast happens, the radioactivity where the radiation kills electricity
on the airplane. So it's built there and it's literally
billions of dollars to do that. So he was sneaked
off the airplane very successfully because no one knew it
was happening for security reasons, because of a credible threat.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And that was that's been done before. It was done
with George W.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Bush on a flight to the Mideast, it was done
with Bill Clinton on a flight to Pakistan, and it
has been done when presidents secretly still want to do
what presidents should do and want to do visiting troops,
for example, in the theaters, in military theaters, war theaters,
and they have to hide the fact. So that's part
(11:28):
of Secret Service. So what he said was part of
the ruse. That was it. It was legitimate. There was
a real threat, according to the Secret Service, and he
did exactly what he did. Now let's do the visual.
He is crammed inside one of those food containers. I guess,
(11:51):
sitting next to the well. He would be with the
first class meals because he wouldn't deign to be with
the economy meals in the container.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
About the code name, you think it was code Nate
orange chick, orange chicken.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, I know. We're chicken on the move, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And everybody was fooled and they did it. They did
it the way they should have done any and he
was part of it. Of course, he cooperated, and it
was a good thing. It's the president getting nailed for
something he shouldn't have gotten nailed for. But there was
no choice because they had to come up with some
crazy ass reason for him to have to fly the
old Air Force one, and they did. We're taking the
(12:30):
new Air Force one and we're moving to England. So
our servicemen can tore it and talk about what a
great airplane it was. You go, come on, is that
that stupid? Well, they had to come up with something,
and they did. Okay, here's a question, and that is
the Democrats are looking at winning the mid terms and
winning twenty twenty eight based on let's fight Donald Trump. Okay,
(12:56):
that's one. That's a big problem. The other problem is
how about them Democratic socialists.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, you put the two together, and it doesn't help.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Recent polls show fifty three percent of the American public
view the Democratic Party unfavorably. The Democratic Party should be
on top of the heap right now based on how
unhappy people are with America and the Republican Party. Nope,
just as as unhappy with the Democrats. And why is
that one of the reasons leadership in Congress It's old,
(13:29):
I mean old, uninspiring, and that may explain why twenty
four percent of the public approve the way Congressional Democrats
are handling their job. That's miserable. So you go to
twenty twenty eight. Among most people likely to vote in
the primaries, the Democratic primaries, there is a pronounced age
(13:51):
split voters under thirty. Are you ready for this favor
Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortes. Can you imagine her being the
President of the United States?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Man, what the hell is going on?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Where California Governor Gavin Newsom leads among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Over sixty five? Boy, is there a split?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Even Trump's declining popularity, I mean, it is falling like
a rock has not given Democrats a boost. And the
only ray of hope, the only thing that's going up
for the Democrats is the enthusiasm generated by people who
call themselves Democratic socialists about a third of those who
(14:43):
identify as Democrats. Now that gets kind of interesting because
the voters hate the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The Democrats hate the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Republicans are not pleased with Republicans either, the Republican Party,
and it is a mess going on. And so for
the most part, most Americans hate Trump. Most Americans hate
the Democratic Party. Most Americans hate We're talking about within
the party, not through it with the Republican Party. Matter
of fact, Trump only has MAGA as his base. And so,
(15:18):
what the hell's going on? What's going to happen? The
only group of people that are in an upswing well,
Democratic socialists Mandami for example, wins the mayorship of New
York and he is about as left wing as you get.
The Jews aren't particularly in favor of him either. He's
(15:40):
a Muslim in some very anti Semitic statements are attributed
to him. But basically he's anti Israel, pro Palestinian.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
That's a given.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And so he is being called a communist and Democratic
socialists are being called communists.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
They're not. Now we have labels being thrown around.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Communism is government ownership of everything, no private ownership. Now,
as Amy pointed up, Mondami wants government ownership of grocery stores.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Amy, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
What he wants to do is set up five different
stores that are owned by the government, five just five,
one in each borough.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now is that a slippery slope? Who knows?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
By the way, the government already owns businesses, private businesses,
grocery stores. What do you think commissaries are on military basis?
Those are government owned. And by the way, don't argue that,
oh it has to be because there a military basis,
because there are subways in McDonald's pizza places that are
privately owned on military basis.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
In socialism, major industries and factories are owned by the
public or the government. The difference with that and Communeianism
is that all property, private property is completely eliminated.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But there that's my point. There's no such thing as
private as private property. It's all owned by the government.
And Mandami doesn't want that. The socialists don't want that.
They want huge regulation that they do big time for Now.
By the way, co ops are owned by the people.
They're not owned privately. Uh, they're not private businesses correctly
(17:28):
the people. Uh, but they're owned by the members. But
is the public the public? They just everybody just has
to be a member. They're not owned. It's not private business,
is my point. Uh, and it is Uh. You know,
you can't throw the word communism out there. You're not
going to see Carl Marx. Uh the you're photos.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You don't start that way. That's the whole Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
That okay, So now we're talking slippery slope. Now you're
talking slippery slope. And for example, the gun advocates any
any attempt to regulate guns, any attempt is the slippery slope.
But that's which is why Lotion bill, that's an interpretation
of the constitution. Well, how by the way, the way
(18:14):
the Constitution is.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Interpreted is private business.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Private business is part of America, the thought of the Constitution.
There's nothing in the Constitution that says or is even
interpreted as saying, government must own or government will own businesses.
By the way, mom, dommy is can you imagine what's
he what is he going to do? He is going
to what try to pass the law saying there's no
(18:40):
such thing as privately owned businesses.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He can't do that. He can't do that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Now he can set up a governmental store. He can
certainly set up well changing utilities which are already owned
by the government. By the way, utilities, for the most part,
there's two kinds. There are government utilities and there are
privately owned utilities. That's government ownership.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Socialism cannot scale and is not the structure of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Here. All I'm saying is it's a different You cannot
argue that socialism is in fact communism because it's not,
by the way, social democrats. I don't hear other than
Mandami arguing that the government is in fact own everything.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
How about this one?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
How many private policing organizations are government owned? How about
internment centers if you want to call them that the
government has for illegal aliens. Privately owned. It happens all
the time. How about Oh, how about this public buildings,
(19:50):
the parking lots, publicly owned. It happens, but it happens simultaneously,
and so it's not going to happen not that way. Now,
is it going to be more government involved?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I can see Mondami setting up, uh, basically a grocery
store that's government owned.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I can see that. But it's not going to stop
privately owned grocery stores. He can never do that.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
By the way, I'm not a big fan of social democrats,
don't misunderstand. But at the same time, you know, you
can only go so far. You can only say the
slippery slope and.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
The first it's an oxymoron, all right, Anyway, I just
wanted to point that out. Social democrats be prepared for
social democrats, is what I said.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Dummyno, dis corrected me, because it's a moron. You can't
be you can't be democratic and socialistic.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Actually you can, because you can vote if you start
taking away things. Well, how about this, what happens if
the people vote for the kind of socialism that democracy,
But that's not democracy, that's not the bass about communism.
You can only vote for it once. All right, that's
actually not true. You can vote communist governments in and out.
(21:05):
It has happened and will in the future. Okay, we're
done with this. Coming up, well, neurotechnology in planting brain.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Brain control, mind control, implanting devices in your head. oOoOO,
that almost works, I know, I just try to. Yeah,
science fiction didn't work at all. Okay, there's a story
that you know, I find fascinating. I haven't really thought
about this very much, although big big picture I have.
(21:41):
Brain sensors are advancing, as in implanting sensors in your
brain to gather information and maybe help make decisions if
someone else is controlling it. By the way, no one
business and people aren't per se against implanting brain sensors
(22:04):
because a lot of good can come of it. That's
it can help blind people, see it can help. For example,
you can people that have prosthetic arms because they've lost
their arms and there's no way for the arms to move.
But modern technology allows them just to think that the
(22:25):
arm is moving, and then they've therefore they can move
their fingers around, move the arms around, and we're just
talking about brain sensation, the.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Messages coming from the brains, good things.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
No one's really against the ability to do this because
there's too much positive to this. It's the data that's
being gathered and can be gathered. That's what's scaring people.
That's what's scaring workers because what do they do with
the data?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Because certainly brains sensors have the ability to transmit whatever
is not whatever is in your mind, but certainly information
and now comes a big, big issue who gets hold
of that data because it just doesn't stop. I mean,
it isn't just limited to moving limbs around and helping
(23:20):
people see, helping people walk, helping people move wheelchairs, etc.
Where you have absolutely no ability to move any muscles.
You know, it's a good thing. But the scary part
is the data collection. And it can be used to
(23:41):
help PTSD, but it could also be used to analyze
mental health disorders, for example depression PTSD.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's good, but it could also allow hiring or firing.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Decisions because if your boss gets hold of this information,
that becomes a problem. How about predicting words or images
that form in someone's mind that has that they have
those brain sensors. That technology has the ability to do that,
So it becomes a minority report the movie where basically
(24:19):
the companies though where you're going, what you're thinking? Where
are you going to go looking at the pattern? Now?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Are you going to be a flake?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Are you the person that has a tremendous.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Motivation to work? Currently?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Neuro it's neurotechnology and it's it's being used by the way.
Hitachi has a company brain watering headbands, and it's designed
to keep tabs on people's alertness that are working in
sensitive industries mining, trucking, et cetera. And a lot of
neurotech companies are here in California, including brain implant makers Neurlink,
(25:01):
and it's augmented reality startups. So it doesn't necessarily have
to be implanted. These sensors headbands. I mean, you look
at light detector tests right, or you look at brain scans.
They can read you know how fast things are going
(25:22):
through your brain, what parts of your brain are being used,
and they can read, for example, one part of your
brain is not up to what normal standards are. Therefore
you're going to have a problem with X, Y and
Z memory problems. For example, they can figure that out.
You want to hire someone that has memory problems, Well,
you got the data right there, and they're going to
(25:44):
share the data or maybe not. So science is way ahead.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Of the law.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
It always has been, always, and I have personal experience
with that because in my world of reproductive technology, early on,
very early days, the laws didn't even come close to
dealing with it, not even close, and it took years
for the law to catch up with what was going on.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Scientifically, same situation here.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The technology is there, I mean, we're getting very close
to this where the information gathered is absolutely extraordinary. And
what it can do and where does it go? That
is the big issue. And here we go the laws
of privacy. Have they dealt with this?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
No? Not really will they? There's no choice? Okay?
