You're listenings KFI AM six forty the bill Handles show on demand on the iheartradiop and this is KFI bill Handle here on a Tuesday morning, July thirtieth, Big Stories Well, starting at nine point fifteen and tells me it's the women's gymnastics, the all around, and you gotta see Simone Biles, who of course is the US's and the world's best gymnats will compete in all four events, the vault, the uneven bars, the balance beam, the floor exercise, and that starts.
I guess nine to fifteen our time this morning. Fifteen minutes after the show is over. Now, I want to spend a minute talking about what's going to happen in this election, the presidential coming up in November. If you thought the attack on the election itself was big in twenty twenty, it's not. That didn't even come close to what's going on and the attack here, especially if Donald Trump wins. Already it's set up to attack every vote
in the battleground states. California. They're not going to attack the vote because doesn't matter, but the battleground states in someone I think Georgia Joe Biden won by eleven thousand votes and that's it. So the attacks are going to come like crazy. In the event of a Trump loss. What will the argument be rigged? It's already being said. If Trump loses, it's rigged, it's fraud. There is no such thing as a fair election if Donald Trump loses the election. So let me tell you about one sidebar,
one spin on this. There is a nonprofit group called True Vote, and what it does is allow an app called the Ivy three, which allows individuals you me, to go through voter roles and question where people live and then tell the authorities there are problems with the voter rolls. There are irregularities, and you have to straighten those out and a lot of money is being spent because you
can't just ignore that. Authorities can't ignore that, and that allows individuals and election officials across the country have been inundated with complaints about inaccurate voter roles. By the way, Democrats, not a chance. It's all Republicans, it's all Trump supporters. That who is doing it, because again, we are not going to let Trump lose this selection and we're going
to use whatever tool we can. And one of them is complaining about inaccurate voter roles, and the government has to deal with it, use resources, use tax payer money reviewing the lists of registered voters, because it has to respond. And officials are saying, and I've said this for years already, there is so much safety and safeguards in the system
relative to the way it used to be. Last election was the most secure election in the history of the United States, even though fraud was alleged over and over again with no evidence. I might add, you know, there were sixty three cases give or take filed across the country alleging fraud. You know how many one zero? You know why when asked for evidence, zero was presented. Matter of fact, this True of the Vote has one of
the most interesting ones. So True of the Vote is a very conservative, Bassist, Texas based nonprofit and it has been peddling debunked voter voter fraud theories. I mean, just over and over again fraud. One of them is three million votes were illegal, people voted twice, people were voting that were illegal aliens. By the way, this was what president former President Trump touted. He said that after he lost the election, millions of votes were fraudulent. Well, that's
been completely debunked. It's not true. But this organization using this app man that is coming up the works. The founder, Katherine Engelbrecht, has called on followers to help clean up the voter rolls. That's what they're there for, not because of any political view or any political side, even though they're all conspiracy theorists. It is all about a fair and free election. That's it. That's it. And the question is, then, why are you all Trump followers to the very last one.
That's incidental, that doesn't matter. We are here to maintain democracy in this country and we don't want a fraudulent vote. What if Trump wins, we will dismiss any request for a recount, as happened in the last election. So there is this Texas based group called True the Vote and its election monitoring organization that has long pedaled voter fraud theories, all of them debunked, And what the founder has done is called on her followers to help clean voter roles
which are filthy. I guess and I'll tell you explain what's going on in one of the arguments that was used in the last election. And there's an app called IV three that enables individuals us to research voter data and submit voter eligibility challenges which have to be addressed. And for example, well, first of all, let me tell you seven thousand people have been using the app. Big deal, right, only seven thousand people, and they've challenged already more than
half a million records across battleground states. Forget about him. No one's going to No one is going to attack California's voter roles. First of all, the Democrats don't do that. And second of all, it's a waste of time. It's the battleground states where all this fraud is taking place. And those seven thousand people have challenged at this point more than half a million records, and they're just starting because the call is out there, join us and attack
the fraud that is going on. So, which is one of the fraud. Well even former President Trump said this during the vote when he argued the vote was rigged. There were voters out there that all had the same address. That's proof of the fraud. Didn't know which way they voted, by the way, because you never know, but just the
same address that proves fraud already. Well, let me tell you the same address fraud These were homeless people that had the homeless shelter as their address because they didn't have any other address. That's not fraud by the way, that's an legitimate address for voter registration. There were mass a number of people that voted twice. Where's the proof. We don't have it, but we know because there is. We have one poll worker who says that he looked at the number of votes that came in and in
one area they were all Joe Biden. So the recount had to happen. Oops, wrong, didn't happen. Well, in this case, what's going to happen is true the vote, and it's going to get enough people it will gum up virtually the entire voter registration process and attack every single voter district, especially ones that are right on the edge or they go democratic. Let's attack and the resources are going to have to be used because the authorities have to respond.
And a lot of the conspiraus conspiracy theory debunked over and over again, and the election officials are saying, even I mean we even talk about conservative Republican election officials are saying, we have the guardrails. We can't just throw someone off a voter registration without calling them or trying to call them and try to figure out what's going on. Well, it's all fraud. It's all fraud. Lawsuits are ready to be filed and be prepared for a super contested election
coming up in the event that Donald Trump loses. I mean, that's the point where we've reached, and it is so scary. There's no such thing as a free election anymore in this country. It doesn't matter what the guardrails are unless the Republican wins, then it's a free constitutional election. And by the way, that is an argument that is going around and it's getting traction and where have we gone to?
Where have we come? You know, as much as some of these I'm not crazy about either one of the candidates, you know what. I have enough faith in election officials at this point, with the safeguards that have been put in the system as a result of lawsuits and true the vote. But it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter if the Democrats lose. I'm just talking about in any race, by the way, any battleground state, if a Democrat loses, it is fraud by definition. And how many people going Yeah,
absolutely no question about it. And that's not a small percentage either, Just one quick one. There are people that are not involved in dealing with attacking the voter registration who are doing it for political purposes. They actually believe in good faith that our system is completely rigged because they have bought into the conspiracy theorists. And I know people, people, smart people that have absolutely bought into the conspiracies, this one being one of them. I mean, we've gone crazy
talking about going crazy. And by the way, I get emails all the time about Bill, I'm a liberal wacko And how dare you say the things you do well and you're so biased? Yeah, I am biased. I am biased against conspiracy theories. I am biased against news that has absolutely no basis. In fact, I am biased against QAnon. I am biased against those people that say there's a pedophile ring under a pizza parlor in Chicago, that Democratic congress people are dorking little boys. Yeah, yeah, I'm biased
against that. And let me tell you where I get my news. I get my news from what I consider legitimate news outlets. Now, they can be biased. CNN is biased, but it doesn't make stuff up. New York Times can be biased, it doesn't make stuff up. And here is the problem. The news organizations that that do not make stuff up, that actually attempt to be objective, are falling apart. Now I'm a dinosaur. Okay, All billy are so old in crotchety you don't understand new technology. Well, here's what
I like to do on Sunday morning. On Sunday morning, I get two newspapers. I get the LA Times and the New York Times. Saturday, I get the Wall Street Journal. And you know what I do. I have my cup of coffee, I put a bagel in the toaster, and now I'm reading the newspaper. I'm reading either the New York Times or the LA Times. And to me, and I read the newspaper, I like the idea of holding a newspaper, folding it and having the crease in the
wrong place. And to me, Sunday morning, eating a bagel without streaks of ink on it is just not the same. So yeah, I'm biased, and I'm seeing what I consider legitimate news sources falling apart, literally falling apart, and it is horrific. And where is it falling apart? Two? Of course, you know where it's falling apart. To it's the Internet. It's the Internet. The conspiracy theorists out there. Case in point, the election twenty twenty election. You know, that's seventy five
percent of Republicans believe it was rigged. I'm talking about, not crazy conspiracy theorists. I'm talking about across the board. Now, Look at the LA Times, look at the New York Times. Talk to CNN, now, even talk to Fox because Rupert stop that one in its tracks. When Fox was reporting Fox News. We're not talking about the talk show hosts Laura Ingram and Tucker Carlson and all that. I mean, I expect them to say what they expect. I get that. But Fox News was reporting that it was rigged, and
you know, where do you go with that? So you have these major news sources are just losing it. Newspapers are cutting back their newsrooms. They just can't afford it anymore because people are going to their devices. You know, most people, young people that I owned with the last survey and it was like eighteen to thirty one year olds or whatever, over half of them get their news
from TikTok, YouTube, Facebook's where they get their news. And you go, how about the organizations that actually do produce news, nah, nah, not interested. And the reason that the newsrooms are falling apart is because advertisers are quickly leaving because where is the advertise? Where are the advertising dollars? Go? They go to the place where more and more people are looking
at news. And here's my belief. Studies having come out, I believe that more and more people who believe the stuff that comes out of the internet are more likely to buy. They're more likely to buy into this product. You'll get longer, you'll get more girth, you'll last longer. Oh yeah, Now I don't know if you buy the
stuff here. I mean when I hear commercials, not necessarily on KFI, when I hear commercials or see commercials or see print whatever, making these outrageous claims, which welcome to America. We have a First Amendment right to say, outside of medical fraud, well, you know, that's just who we are. And so one of the reasons newsrooms are doing so poorly is because no one is really paying attention to Certainly, newspapers are just basically gone. I do it on weekends
because I enjoy it. But during the week the papers are up on the computer screen and I pay attention to the La Times New York Times. I said, I don't go to the internet. I do not do that, and too many people do. So let me talk about the financial spin on this, because where do people get their news that don't use news outlets like the LA Times and New York Times, CNN, the BBC is they go to the Internet and start looking at TikTok whatever
and where who carries it? Right? You've got Google for example, that's even Amazon not so much news, but Amazon is using data that the news organizations are pitching, are promoting, are actually releasing. So there are two bills. Senate Bill thirteen twenty seven would charge Amazon, Mada, Google a data extraction extraction mitigation fee. Why because they collect data from news outlets, and news outlets are not getting any money
and they're arguing, it's our content. We want to get paid for this because if we can get paid for at least our content, that helps. A matter of fact, the Senate Bill three it's in twenty seven says that this data extraction mitigation fee is going to go towards supporting local newsrooms. Straight out, We're going to give money to local newsrooms and meta Google, Amazon, you're going to
pay for it because you're using that content. California has lost a third of its newspaper since two thousand and five. It's really crazy why we're turning to social media for news convenient speed. We've gone from twenty seven percent of everybody looking at the platforms for news to forty eight
percent in twenty twenty four. I mean, I can give you the stats like crazy, but there is you pay for content is what they're asking these major platforms, and they want to be paid for the data also, not just content, but data that they're getting from It makes sense to me, you know, I mean, you got if I'm using your product on my platform and I'm making money, isn't it fair? I think so. All Right, we are
finished with the show today. Quick reminder of the podcast is dropping today at nine o'clock and today is going to be about the crazy ass congress people and senators we've had in the US kind of fun Thursday and putting something together that I'm recording today, and that's about the Olympics. Now, not just the Olympics, because you can hear or see anything about the Olympics. This is about
food at the Olympics. Historically food that the athletes have to eat and people that go to the Olympics and how they're eating at restaurants. That's a big story. And also I'm going to do some of the events. The events I mean we're seeing, for example, breakdancing for the first time, rock climbing for the first time, and some of the stuff that's been going on since the start of the ancient Olympics. One of my favorite one was
mule racing. You get the fastest mule out there. And one of the initial events was horse racing, except the last part of it the racer had to jump off the horse and on foot, race with the horse and see who wins. So there's some really interesting events that have come and gone. And so that is Thursday at
nine o'clock. We'll talk about that in the meantime. Tomorrow morning we come back start all over again, Amy with wake up call at five o'clock and then Neil comes back, and so it'll be the two of us and Amy from six to nine.
