WEBVTT - Someone Drove Their Chevy Tahoe Through A Donut Shop 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.240 And we continue at one oh five in the afternoon 0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:07.160 on the John Phillips Show, Mister Randy wangs in Culver City. 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.040 John, coming up, we have one of the strangest crime 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:14.160 blodder stories of all time. A man crashes his Chevy 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:18.320 Tahoe into a Semi Valley donut shop because it wasn't open. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:28.440 That is a man that likes his maple bars. Eight 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.080 hundred two two two five two two two. He is 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.160 the telephone number one eight hundred two two two five 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.000 two two two. It is our pleasure to welcome our 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.280 next guest to the program. He is a former speech 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.360 writer for Presidents Nixon and Ford and Reagan. He's also 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.440 author of Behind Closed Doors in the Room with Reagan 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.920 and Nixon. You can get him online at Reagan and 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.040 Nixon dot com and follow him on x at ken 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.120 Kachigian Ken Kachigian. 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:00.920 Welcome, Hey, John, thank you. It's great to be here. 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.240 All right. Let's start out with the governor's race here 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.880 in the state of California, where it looks like in 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:14.520 first place, there's a statistical tie between former California Attorney 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.720 General Javier Bessera and former Fox News host Steve Hilton. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:24.120 With Tom Steyer, Chad Bianco and Katie Porter behind them. 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:25.720 Does that surprise. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.880 You, No, not necessarily, it's I mean, it's such a 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:36.000 weak filled all around. It's like, you know, it's pick 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:41.199 and choose. You know, Porter had some name recognition she's 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.480 writing on her name recognition from having run for the 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.920 Senate and being in the Congress, so she's got a 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:52.560 lot of support in southern California. And Bessarah's like, you know, 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.760 who do you choose after the dregs from the Democratic 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.720 Party are left? And and then of course uh uh 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.120 the poor uh the Thurman. Tony Thurman is sitting in 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.400 at one present because nobody knows who he is or 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.720 what he does or where he's been. And and then 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.720 Tony uvier rigosas. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.520 Had his best. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.079 Days gone behind him. Although he's he's certainly one of 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.079 the most qualified candidates running for governor on the Democratic side. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.880 He's much more qualified than Sarva here. Uh be Sarah, 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:33.880 by the way, would be much more qualified than Sarah 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.080 running the state. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:36.480 Uh. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:41.320 And and then of course, uh, Matt Mayhan is just 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:48.280 there's a saying we have in in my ethnic community 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:55.200 called the cold cold oatmeal and that's that's what Matt 0:02:55.200 --> 0:03:01.240 Mayhon is. And uh, he just he's nobody. He couldn't 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.520 break through it because nobody knew who he was or 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.760 and he's uh, he's just blann. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.440 So but s here is all that's left. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:15.440 And and you have a very high Hispanic voting block 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.880 as well, and and the Democrats have sort of coalesced 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.680 behind him because there's no one left to go with. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.160 So I'm not surprised. I guess that that's where it 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.560 all is. And stire stires ads. He's put over two 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:35.240 hundred million dollars into this race, and and uh, there 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.880 are probably some of the worst political ads I've ever seen. Uh, 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.360 he's he's not a very attractive person, and he's probably 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.160 insisted that he appear in most of his ads, and 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:54.240 he's he's unattractive, he's he's an unpleasant to look at. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:02.640 And his ads are they don't have any polish to them. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:11.160 Their message, their message is awkward and and and they 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.640 go in all kinds of different directions. So you don't 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.800 know what is what single message he has other than 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:22.320 their shooting off in all kinds of different directions. And 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:27.320 so but Sarah's left with, you know, the other guys 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.919 are all I'm just better than the other guys, and 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.040 I'm all that's left. 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.560 What do you make of the fact that before Bessara 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.000 became the front runner, it was clear to me that 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.840 Swallwell was supposed to be the guy in that position, 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.880 that he was the one that they were all going 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.480 to get behind. Adam Schiff, the senior US senator here 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.000 in California, was one of the first ones to endorse him. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.240 Certainly he was supported by the California Teachers Association in 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.599 the SEIU, two of the most influential unions here in 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.440 the state of California. Members of the state legislature were 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.200 falling in line. It looked like he was going to 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.320 be the guy, and then the allegation started coming out 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.599 of the woodwork, where now it appears the guy might 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.080 be a rapist and a certainly unethical on a variety 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.279 of levels. We can say that with great certainty the 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.919 rape allegations, they'll be litigated. I guess another day, however, 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.440 he had a million in one red flags, and they 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.480 should have been able to tell at an absolute minimum, 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.560 he didn't know anything about state government. He didn't know 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:43.600 anything about state politics. According to one report, he showed 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.240 up to Sacramento where the Capital NX project is going on. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.680 He looked at it and he said, oh, are they 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.560 building condos? He didn't even know that there was an 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.279 ANX project that was in the works. He was that 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.719 ignorant of what was going on. And you look at 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:03.240 Javier Bessera and many of those same red flags are 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.840 now popping up with Basera where you have any number 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.520 of members of the Biden administration, some of whom are 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.440 going out by name, like Susan Rice who was a 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:16.719 former top advisor in that administration, Lo Rosa, who was 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.560 Jill Biden's top EID, saying that Javier Besserra was an 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.479 embarrassment in that administration, that he would show up to 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.880 these meetings totally unprepared, that Biden would ask him questions 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.760 he had answers to nothing, that they were embarrassed to 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.560 be in the same room as him, and under no 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:41.480 circumstances should this guy become governor of California. Nancy Pelosi, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.320 the longtime Speaker of the House, has a bad relationship 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.479 with him because he threw her under the bus in 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.360 a Democratic Caucus meeting when they were trying to pass Obamacare. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.680 In addition to all of that, this is a guy 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.640 who can't answer any questions at all with any specifics. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.800 When he's talking about California politics or California policy, it's 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.040 we're going to get it done. We're going to roll 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.800 up our sleeves, we're going to do the hard work. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.080 We're going to make things better. He can only talk 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.200 about subjects in those terms. And I say to myself, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.080 there's no introspection that's going on within this party as 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.480 to what mistakes you made getting behind Eric Swallwell, and 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.840 you're about ready to repeat the same thing with this guy, 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:33.360 Javier Basseerra, who's about ready to sell you out, and 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.560 he's about ready to cause all kinds of problems for 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.400 that party. But it seems like they're ready to get 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.200 on board with him despite what just happened with Smallwell. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:44.880 Well. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:53.360 The other thing about Bessas is that that his own. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:53.800 Chief of staff. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:08:00.560 Was there were stealing money from Bassara's campaign fund, and 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.320 it wasn't even it didn't even seem to be aware 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.200 of it. He didn't even know they were stealing money 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.440 from him. He was blind of them stealing money from him. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:14.920 I mean, he was asleep with the switch. It's he 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.440 didn't even know what was going on in his own campaign. 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.040 So that was add that to the list. And then 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.880 I saw him. He talked about the bullet train. He said, well, 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.040 you know, we're going to get that going again, but 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.240 he didn't explain how he was going to do it. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.880 He was going to stop the way it was being done, 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.000 the way it is done. Now we're going to quit 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.680 wasting money. But we're going to quit wasting money, but 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:38.079 we're going. 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:38.760 To get it done. 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.679 And then he's gonna and then he said he was 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.600 going to help the farmers and get water to him. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.160 But he said, we're going to find a middle way 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.439 to do it. But I don't quite know how we're 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.960 going to do it quite yet. He's just playing vanilla. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.120 He's running the campaign in the precise way Joe Biden 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:05.839 lan his presidential campaign in twenty twenty. He's hiding a 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.959 way as best as he can. But that may work 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.000 on the primer, but you know, I don't think it'll 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.520 work in the general when he's when he has to 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.760 answer in a partisan way. We worked for swallwell was 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:28.160 he was anti Trump and he was conspicuously the anti Trump, 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:34.599 and he had all the Dems going for him, and 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.520 they thought that they could ride him even though he had. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.040 All these red flags. 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:41.760 And they didn't. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.480 Maybe they didn't think they would it would all come out. 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:50.600 But with but Sarah, I think they may be a 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:56.760 little shocked if he The problem is John is that 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.440 they just don't have any. 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:03.280 Other horse to ride. They all have baggage. Styre has baggage, Porter. 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:09.839 Has baggage, and Matt Mayhon doesn't have his bland and 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.800 doesn't have anything to show for himself, and poor Via 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.400 Rugosa doesn't have much of a public image anymore. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.120 So they're left with BASERA. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.400 You wrote about this election recently in the American Spectator 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.440 and in Silicon Valley. The titans of the tech industry 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.439 got behind Matt Mayhon in a big way, and they 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.400 thought he was going to be the Democrat who would 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.720 keep the train on the tracks. He was the sanest 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.600 one in the room. He was electable because he had 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.760 a D next to his name and not an R. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.040 He had a good track record in San Jose. He 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.400 was an attractive guy with an attractive family. That was 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.920 the horse they decided to run with. And then it 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.360 just never worked out. He was pulling in single digits. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.520 I think there were maybe one or two polls where 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.600 he pulled in double digits, but it was the low 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.280 double digits. At no point in this race was see 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.120 in the first or second place slot. Why didn't they 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.199 cut bait with him sooner and try for a Democratic 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.880 lockout on the November ballot so they would end up 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.160 with a candidate who would make sure the state didn't 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.440 go off the cliff right as AI is exploding at 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.719 a critical time for that industry. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:38.560 You know, it's it's just bizarre. The problem with Silicon 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:46.360 Valley billionaires and is that they just are politically amateurs. 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:50.160 They're politically inept. I don't know where they get their advice, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.160 their political advice. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.000 Maybe they get. 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:59.080 It from the same class of political consultants that keep 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:03.319 doing losing campaigns throughout California over the last twenty twenty 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:13.640 five years. But they're just politically juvenile. And as I 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.520 argued in my column in The American Spectator, is that 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.000 if the billionaire class really wants to make a difference 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.840 and instead of getting trod upon and beaten upon as 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.079 they do all the time, and they want to put 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.600 their money into use, like George Soros does. That they 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:38.160 should have gotten behind the two Republican candidates in. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.480 This race and. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.400 Tried to manipulate the process as best they could and 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.439 raise up the two Republican candidates and suppress the Democrat 0:12:51.520 --> 0:13:01.480 vote and work it to get Bianco and and Steve 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.800 Hilton to be one and two in this race and 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.520 end up with a Republican candidates being one two in 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:13.000 the general and then convince themselves guarantee themselves to have 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:20.040 Republican governor. Instead, they put their money behind a man, 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.880 and there would have made some sense to that if 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:29.400 they also spread their money around to let's say, elevate 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:36.040 Chad Bianco along with Steve Hilton, and elevate Antonio Rigoso 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:41.480 and along with Mayhan, and maybe put some money behind 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:46.920 Katie Porter and put money against Vaserah. So you get 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.560 my point. You split that Democratic vote and elevate the 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.480 vote for Hilton and Chad Bianco. You might have had 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.160 two Republicans running one and two and had the worst 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.679 worst nightmare of the Democrats. But again, I just think 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.000 they're politically naive and and Appton, you could have had 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.840 the billionaires really putting their money in a good place. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.440 But maybe next time, John, Not this time. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.480 We're speaking with Ken Kachigian, author of Behind Closed Doors. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.839 In the Room with Regagae and Nixon available online at 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.360 Reagan and Nixon dot com. Let's shift gears here and 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.160 talk about the LA Mayor's race for a second. Earlier 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.040 in the week, I posed the question to the audience, 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.320 which candidate, out of all the candidates on your ballot 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.960 is exciting you the most? And almost to a person, 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.280 the answer was Spencer Pratt. What do you make of 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.880 him as a candidate in that LA Mayor's race. 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:47.840 Oh, I'm really I've been watching this. I watched him 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:54.640 again this morning on CNBC. He's exciting, he's articulate. Yet 0:14:55.280 --> 0:15:00.440 the main thing about Spencer Pratt is that all the 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:05.280 other candidates and that don't have He has a message, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:11.080 and he has a singular message, and that's cleaning up, 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:17.560 making l a sparkle again, cleaning the streets, making them safe, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:26.040 taking the homeless off, making it a LA business friendly. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:27.680 Uh. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:33.400 Cleaning uh it up in a way that the young 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.120 people going to school and don't have to see the 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.760 homeless naked. And as he pointed out, pooping in the streets. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.160 I mean, he makes he makes the he creates visual 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.000 pictures of what's going on in l A. I mean 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.000 that's as he has such a great message in that respect, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:58.400 and he's he's so counterintuitive to the to the political 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.880 pap you get from normal candidates of of. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.400 You know, we're going to have vision and hope and 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:07.600 we're gonna. 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.440 Help, uh help, We're going to help people, and we're 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.720 going to help the poor. We're going to make things 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:17.680 great for the working class. 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.080 That's that's political path. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.000 What he does is he's going to the heart of 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:30.360 the sickness in Los Angeles. And I don't live there, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.040 but I anytime I drive through that and I see 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:39.320 what a miserable place downtown Los Angeles is, and I 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.560 I just I'm I don't know. I just don't understand 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.800 how people can vote for. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.400 Karen bass or. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:54.640 Or I can't pronounce their first name, miss Rahman, and 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.600 and understand how they see all the all the graffiti 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.880 and the homeless and and the dirty streets and and 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:09.280 of course it's driven away the Hollywood, the production there, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.080 and you see restaurants and he points out restaurants are 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.720 closing it down. People are afraid to walk the streets. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:21.920 And that's so Pratt has this great message and that's 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:26.800 what I think. It's sparkling about his and he has 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.879 such high energy, and that's what you don't That's the 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.240 other thing you don't get from a bass or Raman 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.560 is they don't have energy. And if if he can 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:42.360 project that energy as mayor, which they don't have, then 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:47.160 he'll be a great mayor. Regardless of the so called 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:51.320 lack of experience. He doesn't need to have experiences in 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.040 mayor because he can bring in dozens and dozens of 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:58.199 people that know how to run things. That's not the issue. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:02.680 What he has is sparkal and drive and energy that's 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:07.359 gonna say, hey, we're gonna make a La wonderful place 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.200 to live again. 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:13.280 Ken Kachigian author of Behind Closed Doors in the Room 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.679 with Reagan and Nixon, available online at Reagan and Nixon 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.040 dot com.

Yes, and the only thing that was going 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.240 to cause that meltdown to go down was some sweet, 0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:16.959 sweet sugar. 0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:23.840 He returns, appearing agitated, yanking repeatedly underlocked front door of 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.400 the business. But it doesn't stop there. Video shows the man. 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.720 Gets so he hasn't figured it out yet. I can't 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.480 get in there. The donuts are there, this door is 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.440 blocking my way. What should I do about this? 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:38.560 Okay? I don't even think this is alcohol. This guy 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:39.680 had to be on drugs. 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.760 Video shows the man getting into an suv parked outside, 0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:48.240 then suddenly flooring it, smashing straight into the front entrance 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.920 of the donut shop.

Okay, But 0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.240 here here's the problem. Let's think this through here for 0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:02.800 a minute. 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:08.640 If the donut shop isn't open yet because the baker 0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:13.520 hasn't made the donuts. Just because you ran your car 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:16.400 through doesn't mean you're going to get any donuts if 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:20.800 they haven't been made yet. Maybe there's some dyeld's in 0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:22.640 there he can scavenge. 0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:27.560 Apparently trying to force the suv completely inside. 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:33.600 Bang bang bang so many tens. And just to be clear, 0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:35.280
