We're 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: best friends and and it's just a weird situation that 25 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: we You know, some people have what they call sleep divorce, 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: where they sleep in two different beds. We just sleep 27 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: in two different states. You know. 28 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 3: Well, maybe one of you snores, Oh I do, I do? 29 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: You got to sleep apnea? 30 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: I do. I got that stupid sea path, the Darth 31 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 2: Vader mask. Yes, nobody wants to sleep with them. Nobody. God, 32 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: I hate it. And they have that they call it Inspire. 33 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: It's a basically it's an implant that goes in your 34 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: neck and that you've probably seen the commercials for it. 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: Somebody has like a remote control and they touched their 36 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: shoulder with it and I looked at that as because 37 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: they said, oh this this will help with sleep at 38 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: me and I and I talked to my sleep specialist 39 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: and they said, well, the thing with the thing is 40 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: is that the seapap is what they call the gold standard. 41 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: And I said, but this, uh, this implant They said, 42 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: it really works, they said, they said, but it reduces 43 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: your instances of apnea where you they stop breathing for 44 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: I think it's more than ten seconds. And they said 45 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: it reduces it by about half well. So when I 46 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: was tested my APPE, I was I had twenty twenty 47 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: occasions or whatever an hour, so about every three minutes 48 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: I was, I stopped breathing for like ten seconds. That's alarming. 49 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: It feels like that's not healthy. So that's how I 50 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 2: got on the SEAPAP. And they said, well, if he 51 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: did this inspire, you could do that. But you know, 52 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: good results would be like if it were down to ten, 53 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: but on the SEAPAP it's like three a night. So 54 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: I go, all right, Well, for my health, I guess 55 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: I gotta keep wearing the stupid Darth Vader mask. 56 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: And your wife decided she wasn't wasn't crazy about sleeping 57 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 3: with that. 58 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: I she doesn't mind. She's such a sweetheart, she doesn't mind. 59 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: She goes, she goes. Whatever makes you healthy, baby. It 60 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: doesn't bother me at all. But god, I just hate 61 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: it when she sees me in that thing. It's kind 62 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: of like you know how women get insecure and they're like, oh, 63 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: don't look at me, I feel fat that kind of thing. 64 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, don't look at I build a pillow wall 65 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: so she can't see me with this stupid elephant. 66 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 3: Mask on you know, I think some around middle age, 67 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: everybody turns into Frank from blue Velvet. 68 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: Don't look at me, that's it. I'm here to yours. 69 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: I'm not a monster, is what I say to her. 70 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: And she's like, I know, I love you, it doesn't matter. 71 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: I just want you to be healthy. She's great, but 72 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, nah, don't look at me. So anyway, but 73 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: then I sleep with the windows open, and we've had 74 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: cold nights, you know, a few cold nights, and the 75 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 2: problem is is that they the condensation starts to form 76 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: inside the hose, so you're, you know, you're sleeping, and 77 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden there's just and you get 78 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: that what they call rain. It's just you're breathing through 79 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: basically water in the hose, and that wakes you up. 80 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: That's horrible. Oh really, yeah, it's terrible. That's terrifying. He 81 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: lives in a frat house. 82 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's so bad. It's like being waterboarded. 83 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: A terrible So then you wake up in the middle 84 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: of the night and you have to like unhook everything 85 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: and drain your hose, like let the water drip. 86 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: That's another problem in middle age. You gotta get up 87 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: in the middle of the night and drain the old hose. 88 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: What do we gotta do around here? Fish to get 89 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: a get a rim shot. He's he's totally checking get 90 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: that handy. He doesn't even listen. Even when he's talking 91 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: on the show. He doesn't listen to that. 92 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: I don't blame him. Uh, foosh, could talk to you? 93 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: Happen new you're my friend Ricky. Ricky's in Ricky. I 94 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: think I'm gonna start well, I was time, absolute complete 95 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: pro right there. That's really good. I've decided. Of course, 96 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: we started calling Richie Ricky a while ago because he 97 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: thought I called him Ricky, but then we pulled tape 98 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: and I didn't, So now he's just Ricky. But I 99 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: think now I'm gonna start calling you Ice Ricky. Okay, sure, 100 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: because the prediction was Richie's gonna walk in with an 101 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: iced coffee. And sure enough, like two minutes later, I 102 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: geta I get a picture sent with Richie and Fush 103 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: and a giant iced coffee Ice Ricky perfect accessor. He's 104 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: speaking of ice. I heard Mark's news there. It sounds like, uh, 105 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: the well first of all ice in Minnesota. I think 106 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: this is a really dangerous situ. If you are an 107 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 2: avid supporter of President Trump, this is where I predict 108 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: things could get nasty for you. You might have to 109 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: go back and be like, well, I didn't know what 110 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: was going to happen to me. So this is the latest. 111 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: You heard Mark's report similar to this, and that has 112 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: to do with whether or not there's going to be 113 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: criminal civil rights charges brought against that ice officer that 114 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: shot the woman in Minnesota, And of course the President 115 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: and the administration have been one hundred percent supportive of 116 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: that ice officer, and so it sounds like no charge. 117 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 4: The Justice Department says it does not believe there is 118 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 4: any basis to open a criminal civil rights investigation into 119 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 4: the ice shooting in Minnesota last week that killed Renee Good. 120 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 4: She was the thirty seven year old mother of three 121 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: who was shot and killed while behind the wheel of 122 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: her car. The DJ didn't give an explanation on how 123 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: it reached its conclusion. There's currently an FBI investigation into 124 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 4: the case. 125 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: So no criminal charges, there no civil criminal charges. And 126 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: you heard in the news that there have been a 127 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: number of people that have basically quit their jobs over 128 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: it because they're just they're upset about everything that went 129 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: down in Minnesota. 130 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: Well, I think they're also upset that the DOJ is 131 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: no longer independent. 132 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: Right because DJ is doing the investigation. The local cops 133 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: has been frozen out of it, and they feel like, basically, 134 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: this is gonna get railroaded. And I think that's I 135 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: understand where they're coming from, because at the moment, I 136 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: was sitting there with my real job partner. We were 137 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: watching it as it was the news is being reported, 138 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: and we went, oh, this is not great, and this 139 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: woman had been shot, and we're kind of watching this 140 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: unfold when it was this Monday, Tuesday, whatever it was. 141 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: So we're watching this unfold and no, no, no, it was 142 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: last last week. I get so confused. You realize that 143 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: we invaded Venezuela like ten or eleven days ago, just 144 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: till we get to Greenland. Oh my god, doesn't it 145 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: feel like it's been like six weeks. Anyway, So this 146 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: ice thing goes down to my buddy goes. He says, Oh, 147 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna throw this guy into the bus. 148 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: I said, nah, you watch, they're going to rally. And 149 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: it wasn't twenty minutes later that Christy Nome came out 150 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 2: with her you know, fifty gallon hat, and she said 151 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: that the investigation is underway, we're not going to jump 152 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: to any conclusions about what this domestic terrorist did. Wait 153 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: a minute, hold on, because it sounds an awful lot 154 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: like you came to a conclusion already. Yeah. 155 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: I think in philosophy they call that begging the question, 156 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 3: the old do you how often you beat your wife? 157 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: Question? Yet, do you still beat your wife in the morning? 158 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: Ye? 159 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, exactly. No, okay, you moved afternoons evenings? 160 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: What is it? Right? So I think it's I think 161 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: it's reasonable for these people to assume that the investigation 162 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: already has a foregone conclusion. And I appreciate you bringing 163 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: up the logical question too, Mark, I actually highly respect that. 164 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: I love that. So now we're having some other Oh, 165 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: this is where I think you have to be careful 166 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: about what you are praising from the current administration, because 167 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: I got to thinking about this. I don't know exactly 168 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: what the statute of limitations is on acting in the 169 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: capacity while you're on the job, but if the if, 170 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: the if the charge is murder or civil rights violation 171 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: resulting in the end of life, or whatever the charge 172 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: would be, that the current administration says, no, they're not 173 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: gonna they're not gonna pursue. I was thinking about what 174 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: happens when the next president comes in. Imagine a scenario 175 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: where you have President Sanders or President AOC and I 176 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 2: always picked somebody's far to the left because that's the 177 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: that's the scariest scenario for people on the right. But 178 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 2: imagine a president Newsome, if a Democrat is elected in 179 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, wants to say that they're not gonna 180 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: say we're gonna go after this guy now. Right. So 181 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: even though the current president is has kind of said nope, 182 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: everything's fine unless he writes a pardon out for federal charges, 183 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: unless he unless he pardons him what do they call 184 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 2: it pre pardon, I guess whatever it is for these activities, 185 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: the next president come in and say, no, we're gonna 186 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: make things right. We're gonna we're gonna get even right, 187 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna right this ship. In the same 188 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: way that we see President Trump has done that with 189 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: with some Republicans, or he's he's going to after like 190 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: Jerome Powell now, or he says, you know, we're going 191 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: to do this, We're going to pursue charges against so 192 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 2: and so, the Biden administration, whatever it might be. So 193 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: you've gotta be careful about, you know, praising the president 194 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: for his retribution tour, because what happens when the next 195 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 2: president comes in and follows suit, Because now the president 196 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: precedent has been broken, and because of that, what happens 197 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: with the next person. Meanwhile, and again you heard this 198 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: in Marx News. It sounds like the La County supervisors 199 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: have decided that they are going to create ice free zones, 200 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 2: which for Richie is a nightmare because he doesn't like 201 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: his coffee lukewarm. 202 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 5: The ordnance would prevent Immigration and Customs enforcement from using 203 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: county owned parks and other locations as staging areas or 204 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 5: processing sites unless they have judicial warrants or emergency authorization. 205 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 6: What we are doing is affirming what is already law. 206 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 6: If they have a federal judicial warrant, then that is 207 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 6: clearly presented they are able to conduct business per the 208 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 6: federal judicial warrant. That is the level that is required, 209 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 6: and we have we have seen that ICE has acted 210 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 6: without those warrants. 211 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 5: A staging area would be defined as county property used 212 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 5: to assemble and deploy vehicles or personnel. 213 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: Okay, so like parks or buildings or whatever else it 214 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: might be. So there's a public statement that is basically 215 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: reaffirming again law and basically the county have said we're 216 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: not going to cooperate with ICE unless they have a warrant. 217 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: There's a political move, total political move. This is being 218 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 2: done to say no, we don't support you, and it's 219 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 2: a it's a sign to the the the Democrats, Hey, 220 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: we got your back. You know, we see it the 221 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: way you see it, and we're gonna we're gonna take 222 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: a stance against this. Okay. So it's political motions happening 223 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: right here. It could be inviting more trouble. It absolutely 224 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: could be inviting more trouble because the president doesn't like 225 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: to be shunned, certainly doesn't like to be shunned publicly. 226 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: And does that mean that we're gonna get another ice 227 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: surge in southern California? I mean, we have stories about 228 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 2: ice every single day. What happens if we have another 229 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: ice serch These are the questions that you know, we 230 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: may have answered here in the next couple of weeks, 231 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 2: based on how the President reacts to this or does 232 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: he just ignore it and doesn't care about what the 233 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: county supervisors do? That will play out in the meantime. 234 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if you've checked your bank account lately, 235 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: but it's awful expensive to live here. Now we've got 236 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: sunshine tax, right man. A sunshine tax keeps going up 237 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: and up and up and up and up, doesn't it. 238 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: And now a major company that, honestly, you'd be foolish 239 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: to ignore. They want another bite. Their excuse sounds very familiar. 240 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 2: Why you're about to get hit and how much it 241 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: might cost you is next. 242 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 243 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 2: It's all about the app. Baby, hit that app. Hit 244 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: the app. Do it?

You didn't do this 355 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 9: or whatever. I mean, the insurance companies are playing dirty 356 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 9: on a lot of this. Well we don't have to 357 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 9: actually pay out. It's just it's so frustrating. 358 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 2: I mean, we're getting to the point where you have 359 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: to be rich to afford the the basic stuff to 360 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 2: live in California. 361 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 9: Like okay, to a certain extent, because no one could 362 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 9: have seen that coming. No, no one could have seen 363 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 9: that coming which happened not like what we saw. And 364 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 9: so to a certain extent, I understand the insurances companies 365 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 9: are like, oh crap. But on a regular day they 366 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 9: do that.

Yeah yeah, and uh and that it just 371 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: frustrates the dickens out of me just to no end. 372 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: Oh but wait, there's more. And as frustrating as it 373 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 2: is that that you're gonna have to be paying more 374 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: to protect your home, the fund doesn't stop there. So 375 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 2: many companies make you feel like you have way too 376 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: much money and they want every bit of that paycheck 377 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: that they can get.

So 400 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 8: this is going to be a little disheartening to California 401 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 8: motorists who are looking for some relief from car insurance rates. 402 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not going to get it. 403 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 10: We're host insurers in the state are raising premiums by 404 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 10: six point thirteen percent, down from last year's massive sixteen 405 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 10: percent hike, but still far above the national average increase 406 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 10: of just zero point sixty seven percent. 407 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, those there are a lot of numbers. So basically, 408 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 2: auto insurance went up sixteen percent last year, and then 409 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 2: the auto insurance companies came back and they went, you 410 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 2: know what, jeepers, we sure would like to raise those 411 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: rates another six percent. And then the state's like, cool, great. 412 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 8: These prices increases are tough, you know, unless unless your 413 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 8: salary went up by six percent or is gonna go. 414 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 8: If you're need a six percent raise this year, then 415 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 8: you'll kind of break even on insurance. 416 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 2: Somebody get my agent on the line. 417 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 10: The average cost of auto insurance in California is expected 418 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 10: to reach two hundred and twenty one dollars a month 419 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 10: this year. 420 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: Carrying the six twenty seven bucks a year, and that's average. 421 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: My car is three years old, so does that mean 422 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 2: I'm paying more? Crap? This is not great. This is 423 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 2: not great at all. I'm glad they made it so 424 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: easy to understand. I know, right, so cool gosh. I 425 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: was looking at some reviews and They some some people 426 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: who are concerned about this, and they go, look, when 427 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: it comes to auto rates, so many of us just 428 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: put it on auto renew myself included, incidentally, and they 429 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: say that's a bad thing because a lot of places 430 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 2: will offer you kind of an introductory You don't realize 431 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 2: that it's an introductory, but you sign up and you go, oh, 432 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: this insurance is half of what the other place is 433 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 2: charging me. And then you sign up for it, and 434 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 2: then your first renewal it goes way up, way up, 435 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: and they bank on that. Yeah, of course they do, 436 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 2: because who wants to shop for insurance flow? Nobody wants to. 437 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: The wants to take their time every six months, go 438 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: look for insurance flow.

I think 460 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: this is what we're starting to see. I think we 461 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 2: are seeing a state that is being split into between 462 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: the haves and the have nots. I think we are 463 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: seeing a state that has got your your Silicon Valley 464 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: AI investors. You've got your your big wigs running things 465 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: here in southern California.

And then you've got the rest of us 468 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 2: who are thinking, well, I guess maybe I'll try to 469 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 2: replace the roof next year. Maybe I'll have more money then, 470 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: maybe I'll get that pothole in my driveway fixed later. 471 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 2: I mean, we're making calls on things and I'm not 472 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: even being dramatic and saying, you know, oh, I'll have 473 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: to not feed my children. I'm not even gonna be 474 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: that dramatic. But at some point, you go, my quality 475 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: of life is suffering because of the cost of living 476 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 2: and your stress.

And this is we saw 481 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: this during the pandemic. We've seen it happen numerous times 482 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: before when the economy has shifted. First time, I remember 483 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: I actually benefited because I had a house in northern 484 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 2: Arizona and there was a big cal exit and this 485 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: would have been like two thousand and five, just before 486 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 2: the market cratered, and my house, my house, we had 487 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: it built, my wife and I did. We had just 488 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: gotten married. We had a house built and it was 489 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy six thousand dollars to build that 490 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: house one seventy six. The house was about twenty two 491 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: hundred square feet and we sat on I'm gonna say 492 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 2: it was a little over half an acre. That was 493 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: twenty years ago. In twenty years, I want you to 494 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 2: think about a house. It was twenty two hundred square feet, 495 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 2: three bedroom house, three bed, two bath, nice place, brand new, 496 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 2: on more than half an acre. But it was northern Arizona. 497 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 2: It wasn't like I was out. I wasn't totally in 498 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: the boonies. I mean there was you know, there was 499 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 2: an airport nearby. I was. That was maybe two hours 500 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 2: from Phoenix, Toms hour forty five from Phoenix. So it 501 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: wasn't like I was crazy too far out. I was 502 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: in your presket For those unfamiliar, I worked in Prescott 503 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: one seventy six. That's it. A year later, my wife 504 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: and I I got a job offer in Kansas, and 505 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 2: my wife and I sold that house for two hundred 506 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: seventy thousand dollars. And now you look back and you say, 507 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: twenty two hundred square feet on more than half an 508 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: acre for two hundred and seventy thousand dollars where do 509 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: I sign up? Right? We were like, wow, we just 510 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: made off and we sold it sit unseen. It hit 511 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 2: the mlass at eight o'clock in the morning. We had 512 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 2: three offers by nine three offers by nine o'clock in 513 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: the morning. We should have rejected them all and waited 514 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 2: for a bidding war to start, but we didn't. We 515 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: just took the first one that was the biggest. They said, Okay, 516 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: well we're out because I had you know, I had 517 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 2: a job blend up. We had to get going. But 518 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: now you look back on that and you say, imagine 519 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: if you've got a house in southern California where the 520 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 2: median home price right now, I mean, if you're an 521 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 2: Orange County it's over a million dollars. Anywhere else southern California. 522 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I think San Diego County is similar. If 523 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: you're in Riverside, San Bernardino, La County, you're still looking 524 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 2: at what eight seventy nine hundred thousand dollars you could 525 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: sell your house. You can go to I don't name 526 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 2: a place, guys, We're going to Colorado, right, and you 527 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: can get a yard, you don't have water restrictions, you 528 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: can get a family sized home for half a million, 529 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 2: and now you're pocketing four hundred thousand, half a million dollars. 530 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: Whatever else it is. Put that in savings if you're smart, 531 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: and put it in savings, or put it in your retirement, 532 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 2: put it in to invest it somewhere, And all of 533 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 2: a sudden, that stress of going to work every day, 534 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: it just isn't there. It is so much easier to 535 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: go to a job that you want to go to 536 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 2: rather than a job that you have to go to. 537 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 2: And at some point, the quality of life in California 538 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: is gonna balance out and people are gonna say, forget it, 539 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: I'm out Skis, I'm out Skis, And then we're gonna 540 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: be in big trouble because then the employers with the 541 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: big wig sitting in the in the C suite on 542 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: top are gonna say, where did all of our employees go? 543 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: We told them that they had to return to office, 544 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 2: We told them that they had to live nearby, and 545 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, they're gone. They're all leaving. 546 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: We don't understand what happened. And at that point the 547 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 2: businesses start leaving. It's just it's gonna take a while. 548 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: I mean, we're watching it happen in slow motion. It's 549 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: not a question of if, it's a question of when. 550 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: Unless things change, and I don't see them changing. I 551 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 2: just don't see it happening. Shift gears. I'm feeling cranky 552 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: all of a sudden. Hollywood is home of the creatives, 553 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: the big wigs, the sidewalk starts, the costume hustlers, and regret. 554 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: One of Southern California's biggest attractions is disappointing more visitors 555 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: than anywhere else on earth. That's not funny. It's a 556 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: small world all that. No, that's not it. Where you 557 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 2: are sure to sadden your own out of town visitors 558 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: when you take them. Next is straight ahead. 559 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 560 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 2: I just love it. I just love you guys.

Yeah, I remember 569 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 11: going up to like four ninety five. 570 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: And you were outraged when that happened. 571 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 11: Uh, yeah, it's pretty crazy. 572 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, is that we're going to look 573 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: back at this time. We're gonna go, oh, I remember 574 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: what was affordable in the same way that we look 575 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: back at like our parents' homes. My parents the first 576 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: home that my parents bought, they paid seventeen thousand dollars for, right. 577 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a dump in a small, poor town, 578 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: but seventeen thousand dollars. And I look back and I go, wow, 579 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: that is crazy. I know inflation YadA, YadA, YadA, but 580 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: they bought that, let's say fifty years ago. I don't 581 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: know what that house is worth today. I'm gonna guess, uh, 582 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: two hundred to fifty. Again, it's kind of a dump 583 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 2: in a poor town, let's say two to fifty. It's 584 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 2: not like inflation has gone up more than tenfold in 585 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 2: the last fifty years. Home values have. Home values are 586 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 2: doing that, which is why you hear about people that 587 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: are sitting on property that they bought here in the sixties, 588 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 2: and they're like I'm never selling. It's how you have 589 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 2: somebody who's living on Social Security that's got a place 590 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: in Huntington Beach and you're like, how does that old 591 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 2: man afford that place? Well, it was easy. He bought 592 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 2: it in the sixties. Is that going anywhere? Why would he? 593 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: But if he does he does sell that place, think 594 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: about how much money he's gonna put into the savings account. 595 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: Think about that. I mean, that's just a ton man. 596 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 2: And then if you've got them, but it's not, and 597 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: there's no reason to sell because if you want to 598 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: stay in the area, there's no reason to sell. You've 599 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: got a million dollars in equity in your home, So 600 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: why would you sell it because it's gonna cost you 601 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: a million dollars to go find something else? Right, unless 602 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 2: that's what I tell my wife. It is why we 603 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: bought this place. I tell people we bought this place 604 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 2: in my hometown in northern Michigan. I'm gonna make my plan, 605 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: our plan. This is it. I don't mind the winter. 606 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: If everybody goes, yeah, but the winter sucks. Winter does suck, 607 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 2: But I don't mind it that much. Now, maybe when 608 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 2: I get a little bit older, my dad's lived there 609 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 2: his whole life, and he says the winters are really 610 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 2: hurting him. 611 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 4: Now. 612 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: Maybe by the time I'm seventy, I'll do the same thing. 613 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: By the way, Pops just turned seventy two earlier this week, 614 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: So happy birthday, Pops. Last weekend. Yeah, so have birthday, Pops. 615 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: So the winters are starting to bother him. But our 616 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: plan is make California money and then go live in 617 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: our place in Michigan. We have a cottage. We have 618 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 2: a beautiful cottage built nineteen oh nine. I mean it's 619 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: a it's not a palace. It's not a Taji male hall. 620 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 2: I mean it's it's got wood paneling. But the wood 621 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: paneling is painted and it looks nice. It looks cute. 622 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: But renovated. Right, bedrooms are small, you know, there's some 623 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: there's some issues. We just put a split unit in there. 624 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: It never had heat before other than a furnace. Right, 625 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 2: it's been again built nineteen oh nine, but we bought 626 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: it and it overlooks this lake right next to Lake Michigan, 627 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 2: and we love it. It paid three hundred twenty thousand dollars 628 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: for it. You can't find an eighteen square foot play 629 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 2: by the way, and we've got three lots. We've got 630 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 2: a quarter acre basically, So you can't find a quarter 631 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: acre with a seventeen hundred square foot cottage with lake views. 632 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 2: And we have a boat dock in a pretty decent lake. 633 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 2: You can't find that in southern California for three hundred 634 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars. So that's our plan, and I think 635 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 2: a lot of other people are doing the same thing. 636 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 12: Chris, can you tell your listeners please, please, do you 637 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 12: have any intelligence. 638 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: Please, if you have any intelligence across the border, across 639 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: the border, go to Mexico. 640 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 12: Go to Nevada. Oh, go to Nevada, Go to Arizona. 641 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 12: Go to Arizona and reap the benefits of lower gas, 642 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 12: petrol prices, lower insurance. And you're not going to have 643 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 12: to deal with this place unless you have to work here. 644 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 12: And if you do, you know what, think about getting 645 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 12: a new job. 646 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 2: Wow. 647 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 12: Take care, Thanks Chris, Thanks. 648 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: Buddy, appreciate it sounds easy.

I like southern California. 653 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 2: I do. And for everybody that says, oh, we're leaving 654 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 2: because of the politics, I don't believe that. I do 655 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 2: believe what moves people is financials. As James Carvel said, 656 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 2: it's the economy, stupid, and I think it has to 657 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 2: do with kitchen table economics. And if my kitchen table 658 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 2: budget doesn't pencil out right, that's when I have to 659 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 2: make a decision the kitchen table.
