1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: And a very happy Monday to you. 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 2: At twelve oh six in the West eats the John 3 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: Phillip Show, Mister Randy wags across the glass John. Over 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: the weekend, the statewide teachers union California Teachers Association made 5 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 2: their big endorsement in the governor's race, and they did 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 2: not endorse Tom Steyer. 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: We're a big ass crisis. 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 2: And they did not endorse Katie Porter. They endorsed Eric 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: Swolwell for governor. Get that money, which leads me to 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: believe that he has got a deal with them to 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: bail out any school district that goes bankrupt. Because they 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 2: gave the teachers a very generous pay increase. 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 3: We demand higher pay. 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: That is definitely possible. 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: Being a member of Congress, where you just vote on things, 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: and you just typically vote the party line as expected, 17 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: you don't really get a lot of blowbacks when you go. 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Back to the district. 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: If he starts bailing out all of these school districts, 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: or more likely he starts bailing out the favored school 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: districts and not bailing out the other school districts, I 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: don't think he's prepared for the kind of blowback that 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: he's going to get and I want you to be 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: all the way when you get that endorsement. That's who 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: owns you. And now they know that they own him, 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 2: so why not go for the gold. It was already 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: strike at Palooza, it's about to get even crazier. Let's 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: not forget we're just a couple of weeks away from 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: the LAUSD strike. Yeah, just ask for the moon. You 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: have a superintendent who's under federal investigation right now, so 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: it's not like the district can push back and just say, 32 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: here's the deal. We own the guy who might be 33 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: the next governor, and he's going to bail us out, 34 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: So just give us what we want and life will 35 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: be a lot easier. 36 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: That is fantastic. 37 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 38 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: the telephone number? What eight hundred two two two five 39 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: two two two. 40 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: We've spent a. 41 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: Lot of time on this program talking about all of 42 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 2: the havoc that's being reeked by teenagers on e bikes. 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 2: We've talked about how cities seem to be flummocks with 44 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: what to do about it. But there's one place in 45 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: northern California that I think is hitting the nail on 46 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: the head. In fact, over the weekend there were two 47 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: different cases, one in Benetia and one in Walnut Creek, 48 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: where enough is enough. Parents in there are starting to 49 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: get charged with child abuse and child endangerment for letting 50 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: their child crash on an e motorcycle. Let's stop calling 51 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: them e bikes. Their motorcycle good for them. Let's not 52 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: forget that the whole idea of e bikes was an 53 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: incredibly misguided attempt by the California Air Resources Board to 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: get cars off the road. So we gave vouchers to 55 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 2: Californians for two thousand dollars. Off of these things, people 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: gave them to their brady kids, and their brady kids 57 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: turned into monsters. And even if you bought one of 58 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: the ones that can only go up to twenty miles 59 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: an hour, there's TikTok videos on how to hack them 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: to make them go fifty miles an hour. In the 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: old days, you had to worry about the Hell's angels 62 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: giving you a hard time. Now it's a teenager named Trevor. 63 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: Let's start with what happened in Benetia. Here's Kron for. 64 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 4: Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office, accuses fifty eight year 65 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: old parents, Stephen Cruz and Gina Gabelini, of allowing their 66 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: unlicensed teenage son to commute from their home in Benicia 67 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 4: to high school and conquered for up to a year 68 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: using an Emoto dirt bike. 69 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: That is, and they did not want to drive him 70 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: to school. 71 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding, that is until Walnut Creek police say 72 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: he was involved in a crash with a minivan at 73 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: Treat Boulevard and Arkell Road last September. 74 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: Now, before you ask, I have no way to confirm 75 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: or deny if that was Katie Porter's minivan, but I'm 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: pretty sure it wasn't. 77 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: Out of my shop. 78 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 2: If that was her minivan, I don't think she would 79 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: have called the cops. I think she would have handled 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: it herself. 81 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 3: Sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots. 82 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 4: The boy was hospitalized with serious injuries. The driver of 83 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 4: the minivan walked away unscathed. 84 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: Well, how much how much damage is going to happen 85 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: to the mini van when an e bike crashes into it? No, 86 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: you're going to be hosing Trevor off the grill of 87 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 2: that minivan. 88 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 4: The boy's parents were each charged with one misdemeanor count 89 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 4: of child abuse. Both clients were excused from appeering for 90 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 4: their arraignment at County Superior Court Friday in Martinez, their 91 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 4: attorneys entering not guilty, please on their behalf. 92 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: What's your defense, Well, we could have driven him to school, 93 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: but we didn't want to wake up that early. 94 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 4: Police say the boy was riding recklessly at the time 95 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 4: of the crash. 96 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Because he's a child. 97 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: You're giving somebody that does not have a fully developed 98 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: brain a straight up motorcycle. That's even less danger that's 99 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: even more dangerous. That's what they do. Teenagers don't do 100 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: the right thing. They do the fun thing. But the 101 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: teenager usually can't buy the e bike on their own 102 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: with their lawnmower money. The teenager gets bought the e 103 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: bike by the parents, so yes, the parent should be 104 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: held responsible. And then they get subsidized by the rest 105 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: of us because that comes from cap and trade money, 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: because that's supposed to be cleaning up the environment. How 107 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: many cars is that taken off the road? Well, one 108 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: minivan at least. 109 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 4: Police say the boy was riding recklessly at the time 110 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 4: of the crash. 111 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 5: From here, we're going to be a little proactive and 112 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: try to get mister Cruz and his wife back in 113 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 5: maybe some parenting classes and some other outreach thing. 114 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: What do you think those classes are like? Do you 115 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: think those are taught at the adult education center. I'm 116 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 2: glad they never gave me that folder, the parenting classes 117 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: for parents that let their kids crash on e bikes. 118 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: All I taught was anger management, high school equivalency, and 119 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 2: the success program. 120 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 5: Uh so this get's prevented. I always call it prevention, 121 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 5: that correction. We're gonna try to correct this one to 122 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 5: prevent it from happening all through society for that matter. 123 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 4: Judge Charles Treat demanded the couple prohibit their son's access 124 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: to the Emoto bike until the case is resolved. The 125 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 4: DA's office says, you. 126 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: Know, it would be a real quick fix for all 127 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 2: of this. And considering that it's a requirement for street 128 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: legal motorcycles, maybe you need to have insurance to use 129 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: one of these things. And how about a license, because 130 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: if you get an actual motorcycle, don't you have to 131 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: pass a specialized test proving you know how to use it? Yes, 132 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 2: it's the m one test, This says. 133 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: Cruise and Gabolini continued allowing their son to ride the 134 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: bike despite repeated citations and warnings from law enforcement. Long 135 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: at Freak police say, the. 136 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Bike, so this is after Jenison, after Janison, after Janison, 137 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: after Janison. 138 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: That's your final warning. 139 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: And they kept citing him for riding dangerously. He'd bring 140 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 2: the citation off to mommy and daddy. Mommy and daddy 141 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: still let him ride the bicycle, and so he finally crashes, 142 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: and that's when they charge the parents with child abuse. 143 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: Good Long at Freak police say, the bike is prohibited 144 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: on public roads. 145 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 6: So are teenagers and sometimes preteens that ride these. They 146 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 6: need to be educated on how to ride safely. And 147 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 6: that's really the. 148 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: Key, and they're totally going to pay attention. 149 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: They need. 150 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: You have to drive a car safely, because you don't 151 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: get to drive one unless you pass the test. You know, 152 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: we hear about quote unquote loopholes all the time. In Sacramento. 153 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: You have to have a license for a car, you 154 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: have to have a license for a truck, you have 155 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: to have a license for a motorcycle. But for this 156 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: there's no age requirement and it's anything goes well. And 157 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: even the restrictions that certain neighborhoods in certain cities are 158 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: trying to put forth. It's way too little, way too late, 159 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: Like Carlsbad's trying to be celebrated because they just rolled out. Okay, 160 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: you gotta be twelve.

It's so wild to me how 222 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: age gives you a totally different perspective on so much 223 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: of this.

Well, 248 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: that has become something that whenever you see these stories, 249 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: and I listen to every e bike story that every 250 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: local news station in the state does because I'm interested 251 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 2: in it, there's always this advocacy piece of the kids 252 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: being like, well, this. 253 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Is how we get to go outside. 254 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: Otherwise we would just stay inside and have our eyes 255 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: bleeded from screen time. Well, in the old days, that 256 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: was fine, but I don't know what happened. It's like 257 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: a switch got flipped and suddenly the video games turned 258 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: from Super Mario Brothers to Columbine. 259 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 3: You're seeing this in other cases, particularly involving firearms, holding 260 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 3: parents accountable for the misdeeds of the juvenile, and you're 261 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 3: seeing that here. 262 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 8: And here at the Walnut Creek Police Department. The hope 263 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 8: is that this case will help raise awareness to the 264 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 8: dangers of these e motorcycles and e bikes, and in 265 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 8: this case specifically. 266 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: If you're buying one of these things, what you're saying 267 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: is that you don't want to spend time with your child, Well, 268 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: can you blame them? You also don't want them to 269 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: get actual at exercise because there's no pedaling required on 270 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: an e bike. I'll tell you my brother has a rule. 271 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: Both of his kids have to be playing one sport 272 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: at all times, and he enforces that. And I think 273 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: that's a good rule to have in a household. 274 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: And in this case specifically, it was highly modified. And 275 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 3: some of these highly modified motorcycles can actually travel more 276 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 3: than forty miles per hour. 277 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: It's amazing what kids learn on TikTok. You can learn 278 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: how to illegally modify an e bike to turn it 279 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: into a straight up motorcycle, and you can learn how 280 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: to steal a Kia. 281 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: I learned how to play baccarat. 282 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: So it gets quite dangerous. 283 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 8: As for prosecuting this case, legal experts Stephen Clark told 284 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,359 Speaker 8: me it could be difficult. 285 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 3: I think there's a chance that jurors may recoil from 286 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: this and say this is a governmental overreach here. We 287 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: shouldn't be usurping into the role of the. 288 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: Parent unless those jurors were assaulted by kids on e bikes. 289 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we shouldn't be usurping into the role of 290 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 3: the parent.

Let's go to Ray 359 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: and livermore Ray, Hello. 360 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 9: Hey, John, great show, just off the topic that I 361 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 9: called in on there was a family that was held 362 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 9: responsible for underage child that armed people with a gun 363 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 9: that they had access to because. 364 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 10: Of the parents. 365 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 9: So what you're saying is definitely makes sense. But how 366 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 9: about just mandatory driver's license insurance like all the rest 367 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 9: of us in vehicle registration. I mean, these simple things 368 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 9: make the vehicle operator, gives them much more of a 369 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 9: position of being responsible for what they're doing and accountability 370 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 9: as well. 371 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 2: I think it's just this attitude that if it's not 372 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: a car, well let's just go ahead and allow a 373 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: teenager to write it or to be the driver, be 374 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: the one behind the wheel. Now I'm not necessarily one 375 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: hundred percent sure how this works, but how does it 376 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 2: work for boats? 377 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: Can teenagers drive boats? Or do you need a license 378 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: for that? 379 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: I can't imagine you can just be a teenager and 380 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: drive a boat. 381 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 9: But what we're running against here is these children clearly 382 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 9: have no idea what the vehicle code is. You see 383 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 9: them driving on the wrong side of the street at 384 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 9: high speeds, running stop signs and signals just by glancing 385 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 9: real quick as they zip through, And so there's no 386 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 9: regard to basic motor vehicle code, which can be maintained 387 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 9: by causing them to have driver's license, registration, all of 388 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 9: these things and being accountable just like the rest of 389 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 9: us on the road. 390 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: And they all wear the hoodies too, so they have 391 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: no peripheral vision. One time I saw a teenager in 392 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: a hoodie going by in one of those e bikes. 393 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: I thought it was et. 394 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 9: They'll go by. It's forty miles an hour, staring at 395 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 9: their iPhones at the same time doing Snapchat or something 396 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 9: while they're breaking multiple laws. So it's far more dangerous 397 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 9: than I'm surprised there hasn't been more problems than what 398 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 9: we're already seeing. 399 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call, sir. Here's a 400 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: little info for you. 401 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 2: Even to operate a jet ski, you have to be 402 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: at least sixteen and you need a California boter card. 403 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: I remember we used to have those sit down I 404 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: think they called them se dues back in the old days, 405 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: and we used to take them out to Lake Havasu 406 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: in Arizona, and I was not allowed to drive it 407 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 2: by myself. And I didn't know if that was just 408 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: an age thing or that was just them having no 409 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: confidence in me thing. But I had to have an 410 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 2: adult on the back with me when I would drive it. 411 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: Only end of old and visual sixteen or older can 412 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 2: operate a jet ski alone. Youth age twelve to fifteen 413 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: can operate with supervision from an adult eighteen plus who 414 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 2: holds a boater card. 415 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I had to do. 416 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: There, you go. It's kind of surprising that they followed 417 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 2: the rules. Let's go to Stephen in Harvor City. Stephen, Hello, Yeah. 418 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 11: So John, I feel this way. Okay, you know the kids, 419 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 11: they have to kind of express themselves. They have to 420 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 11: have an outlet. But if you're going to use an 421 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 11: bi like mandatory, you have to wear a helmet. That's 422 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 11: number one. You have to wear some sort of kneepads. Okay. 423 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 11: Number three, have some elbow pads, so have some safety 424 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 11: and protection. And then if the kid, and I want 425 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 11: to see what you think of this is, if let's 426 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 11: say he gets too many of these violations, then he 427 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 11: has to report to some agency there in that city 428 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 11: and he has to explain himself. We want to hear 429 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 11: the kids too, their point of view. Okay, what is 430 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 11: your comment on that? 431 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: Okay, so you would take a teenager and put them 432 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 2: in a helmet knee pads and elbow pads. 433 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: Correct, right, that's okay, that's why don't you just save 434 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: some time and beat them up yourself. 435 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 11: Okay, yeah, but I mean, come on, John, I mean, 436 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 11: when you were a kid, you wanted to ride your 437 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 11: bike and do stuff, so. 438 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I also wanted all kinds of other unsafe things. 439 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: When I was a teenager, I would go into the 440 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 2: Chinese restaurant and I would order the soy sauce with 441 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: extra sodium. 442 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: You're living on the edge, yeah. 443 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 11: Living on the edge. But hey, don't take kids. Don't 444 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 11: take their childhood away, all right, and post so many 445 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 11: like rules and restrictions. 446 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 2: But the problem is is that they can hurt other people. 447 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: If you're a pedestrian and they're going down the sidewalk 448 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 2: at forty five miles an hour and they hit you, 449 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 2: it's going to be like one of those Looney Tune 450 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: cartoons where you see the birds flying above. 451 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: Your head. 452 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 11: Exactly. But then the thing is, though, Okay, a lot 453 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 11: of the neighborhoods have kind of like a team captain 454 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 11: in the neighborhood and just say, hey, look it, this 455 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 11: is how we do it. We have a bike path 456 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 11: and most most neighborhoods have really cool bike paths, and 457 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 11: you know that's one way of kind of getting them 458 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 11: off the streets. And then the second thing on the street, 459 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 11: use the bike path. Eat bikes are allowed on those 460 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 11: bike paths, don't go on the sidewalk. 461 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: What about those teenagers in San Diego, they went on 462 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 2: the five freeway. 463 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 11: Yeah, there's always an exception. So I mean, I mean, 464 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 11: hopefully they're listening to your radio show right now. 465 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call, sir. I think 466 00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: we're out of their demo. 467 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 2: So this guy says we should give the kids a break, 468 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: a broken arm, a broken leg, a broken neck, a 469 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: broken back. I mean, the kids don't know any better, 470 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 2: and when you give them a device with this much power, 471 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: their brain goes into crazy mode. But is that the 472 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: kids fault or is that the parents vaulted butt and 473 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 2: the e bike with the two thousand dollars voucher from 474 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 2: the California Our Resources Board. 475 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark in Pleasant Hill.

I am retired of been sitting in my 480 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 10: home in my neighborhood and have been watching these kids 481 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 10: go up and down the block wearing thirty forty miles 482 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 10: an hour. And about the last comment from that gentleman, 483 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 10: if he seems to go on bike trails, it's even 484 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 10: more dangerous. You've got family these walking on trails, you've 485 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 10: got regular bikes. These things should not be allowed for 486 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 10: kids that are you're eighteen years old, and they should 487 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 10: have some sort of restrictions and some sort of guideline 488 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 10: in order to drive them at that point so that 489 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 10: they can be monitored legally like anything else like a 490 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 10: small bicycle or motorcycle is something along those lines. So again, 491 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 10: thank you for bringing this up, and have a good day. 492 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: All right. 493 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: Thank you for the call, sir. And if there's anyone 494 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: out there who knows what I'm talking about here, you 495 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: work for the California Highway Patrol, caltrans whatever, give us 496 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: a call at eight hundred two two two five two 497 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: two two if I'm not mistaken. The number one leading 498 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 2: cause of traffic accidents on California freeways are caused by 499 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 2: speed differentials, where you have someone going really fast and 500 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 2: you have someone going really slow. And then when you 501 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: switch lanes or someone tries to turn or whatever, that's 502 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: when you have problems because of speed differential. Well, if 503 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: you have these bikes that are going forty five miles 504 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: an hour on the sidewalk, the bike lanes, city streets, whatever, 505 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 2: that's going to be a lot faster than a pedestrian 506 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: is going or someone in a regular bicycle is going. 507 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 2: And you have those speed differentials going on with teenagers 508 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: behind the wheel of the one that's going the fastest, 509 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: that just seems like a million and one problems waiting 510 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 2: to happen. We've got a line up and for you, 511 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: punch on the CHP give us a call. 512 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: Let's go to Jeff and Roseville. 513 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 12: Jeff, Hello, Well, just one to make two points regarding 514 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,239 Speaker 12: the you know, parents' liability. Initially, there is already a 515 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 12: standard for this vehicle code already makes a registered owner 516 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 12: of a vehicle responsible for damages for injury caused by 517 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 12: any other person driving their vehicle. So that's this isn't 518 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 12: a new concept. You own it, you've you've bought it, 519 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 12: you've maintained it. You're responsible when you when you loan 520 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 12: it to somebody else. Second, most of these jurisdictions that 521 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 12: we're talking about, whether it's bikes, whether it's scooters, there 522 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 12: there are in many cases already laws restricting it. These 523 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 12: are already and so, and just to be brief that 524 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 12: the point is if the if the operation of the 525 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 12: device is already illegal, then there's other precedents for that. 526 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 12: That's contributing to delinquency. It's you know, providing and supporting, 527 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 12: you know, illegal materials. If if you know, it's no 528 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 12: different than if I buy my kid a switchblade and 529 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 12: he takes it to school. You know, I'm liable for that. 530 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 12: So I don't see how the charging either civilly or 531 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 12: criminally of these parents is even a challenge. It's, you know, 532 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 12: these things are pretty well established in similar industries. 533 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 2: All right, thank you for the call, sir. Let's go 534 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: to Bill in Santa Rosa. Bill. 535 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 7: Hello, Oh, I get That's what I was Bill. 536 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: Are you there, sir? Going once? Going twice? 537 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 7: Well? 538 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: Bill, Yes, during your radio offs here. 539 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 7: Yes. What I wanted to say is that to me, 540 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 7: all of this focus on the kids is totally the 541 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 7: wrong thing to be doing. It's not about the kids. 542 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 7: The kids, In my opinion, kids shouldn't be anywhere near them. These, 543 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 7: pure and simple are motorcycles. They need to be licensed appropriately, 544 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 7: They need to be tested to drive them by the 545 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 7: driver appropriately. I couldn't drive a car until I was 546 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 7: fifteen and a half and I had to get a 547 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 7: permit and I had to go through all this. This 548 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 7: is what's going on I think still today and in 549 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 7: my opinion, like I said, the kids shouldn't be within 550 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 7: one hundred feet of these things. It's and of course 551 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 7: they've talked about safety. I mean, you can get killed 552 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 7: on a full sized motorcycle, and you could get killed 553 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 7: on one of these things if you're going forty fifty 554 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 7: miles an hour without the possible without the proper training, 555 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 7: education and responsibility on how to operate it. 556 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a strong case could be made. 557 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 2: I mean argue, we don't look at Tesla's as something 558 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 2: that's not a car because they're electric. Why should we 559 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: look at these bikes as being not a motorcycle simply 560 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: because they're electric. 561 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: They literally have an electric motor. 562 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 7: Pisely it is a motorcycle. Period. 563 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: All Right, thank you for the call, sir. Let's go 564 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: to Jim and Tustin. Jim, Hello, John, how are you good? 565 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 13: Long time, listener, enjoy your show. 566 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 9: Listen. 567 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 14: I couldn't agree with you more. 568 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 13: And I'll give you a scenario when I was young, 569 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 13: many moons ago. I remember at fifteen and a half, 570 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 13: and I just I was about to get my learners 571 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 13: from that I used to. I was driving a renegade 572 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 13: mini bike I'm sure you remember them. Happened to run across. 573 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 14: A police officer who gave me a citation. I had 574 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 14: to pear in court because I was unauthorized because I 575 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 14: didn't have a license. I was not licensed to drive 576 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 14: a moving vehicle, which is I think very applicable to today. 577 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 14: And I agree with you. Couldn't agree with you more. 578 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 14: I have more conversations within this community about kids going 579 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 14: thirty five forty miles an hour with no safety equipment, 580 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 14: running down the streets with no idea running stop signs, 581 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 14: with no idea about any kind of you know, legal 582 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 14: requirements as far as driving. And I've had a couple 583 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 14: of friends with animals that quite honestly have gotten clipped 584 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 14: by these kids who just run rampant and do whatever 585 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 14: they want in the streets. 586 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: All right, thank you for the call, serp.
