1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: We're again repeating one of the top stories. Jerry Lee

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Lewis is alive as far as we know. It was

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: reported a few hours ago that he had passed away.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Thanks TMZ, they have retracted the statement, and we understand

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: from his publicists somewhere in Tennessee eighty seven years old.

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: That's one of those things. The final keyword of the

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: day is about fifteen minutes away. Listen for what that

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: word is, then listen for the incomparable John Cobell give

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: you directions as to how you could win some money.

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Right they haven't ready, Okay, ye standing by. We're gonna

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: talk now about the La City Colouncil briefly. This part.

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: They met a couple of dozen protesters showed up, screamed

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: and yell blocked the aisles. Paul Kakori and the president

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: was threatening to remove them. The police stood there. That

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: didn't happen. John liked the fact that the council members

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: now wearing headphones so they can hear each other and

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: ignore the yelling and screaming, so it's not a problem.

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: They voted to censor yea three council members who have

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: been under fire now for weeks. It's Kevin Dillon, gilsadion

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: Nery Martinez. But by any sense of her, she's already gone. Ah.

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't understand the point of censure. I don't. I

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: don't get it. It's there on the record, disapproval of

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: their behavior. Here's what they think they did. You see

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: this new crackpot. It's the current price. He's now the

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: second in command, he'll be the president. A lot was

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: made out of that yesterday. He really, he really did

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: have two wives. At the same time I read I

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: read an article on it that Daniel dust had written

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: a few years ago. He really did? But did he

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: That wasn't a polygamy thing? Was it one of those

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: sense where he didn't follow through divorcing the first wife

32
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: or something. He right, it wasn't. It wasn't some weird

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: religious cult. He just had a wife, never divorced her,

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: and then got a second wife. It couldn't be bothered. Well,

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: maybe she was being difficult a battle. I heard him

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: in Debor's News though it was obnoxiously during everybody. Yeah,

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: well about you know the terrible racism on the tapes

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: and you know everything else, and it's like, buddy, sit down. Yeah,

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: it's almost time to leave this story. Oh it is,

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: It definitely is, but except for this part. This part

41
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: is about how much Kevin di Leon wants to hang

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: onto that council seat. And it's all about the money,

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: that's right. That was the first reaction I had when

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: he didn't resign right away. I said, well, let me

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: look up what he makes. Well. PR did quite a

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: story today. In twenty twenty one, LA City Council members

47
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: took home roughly two hundred and eighteen thousand dollars in

48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: pay they got their information for the California State Controller's office.

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: There's more than just their base salaries as city employees.

50
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: They get about sixty six thousand dollars a year towards

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: their pensions. Holy crap. That is a tremendous amount of

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: money to be throwing the pension every year, every year.

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: So if you hang in there for ten to twelve years,

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: wowie's approaching a million dollars. Yes, and then and then

55
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: then all the uh return on investment. They get a

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: car as well as meal and travel expenses. A carn't

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: get a car. Oh yeah, I think, Daniel guzz it's

58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: something about Nori Martinez was returning her car or something,

59
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: and then they get meal and travel expenses. Do you

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: know their base salaries seventy thousand higher than than San Francisco,

61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: New York. They get more money than the governor does

62
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: in a base says only fifteen of them. They have

63
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: more people to look after. Oh my goodness, it's thirty

64
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a you're more than Newsom's pay this.

65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: This is I mean, this is hysterical. Oh man, shredburs

66
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: hine immediately. Why why would you do that? They want

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: to give this up. If daileone manages to well serve

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: the rest of his two years of his term, taxpayers

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: will pay him five hundred and sixty eight grand and

70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: combined salary and pension. Yeah, that's what's at stake, over

71
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: a half a million dollars. Okay, So which one of

72
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: you would quit? And as you like to say, what

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: else is he going to do if he resigns, well, well, yeah,

74
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: what else is he going to do? Right now? He's

75
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: too hot. Nobody would take him, not even a pr firm,

76
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: which I joked about the other day. No, you know,

77
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: at the at these prices, I mean, I'm sure you

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: get a job, as you know, stuff and grocery bags.

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean apart from those, oh yeah, but not to

80
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: as Tony Volair. We learned to keep his lifestyle up

81
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: his life snumber Tony Vlaar was leaving the mayor's office.

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: They were worried about how he's going to pay for

83
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: things because he was used to an extravagant lifestyle. But

84
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: then he glommed on as a consultant to a couple

85
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: of big banks and stuff. So I guess he made

86
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: some money. One of the women guys, one goof after another.

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: And the thing is they're all self righteous, they're all

88
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: full of themselves. They're all pompous and pontific all day

89
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: and night. It's just for Sidio. Well, he's got two

90
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: more months of pay coming. It's about thirty six grand,

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: not as much as Delhi owned. But you know he

92
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: doesn't want to you know what the future is he

93
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: will get a pension though he's sixty eight already. Yeah,

94
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean he's still young enough to do something. He

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: seems like he's in good, good, good health. And of course,

96
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: this being NPR, the article likes to point out how

97
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: much more they're paid versus the average person in their

98
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: council district. And Delhi Own's council district, the median household

99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: income is about forty four thousand, you know, something, twenty

100
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: six percent of living in poverty. All right, So he's

101
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: got He had twenty five thousand votes. That's all it

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: took to win that seat, because hardly anybody in his

103
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: district vote the median income. The median is forty four thousand.

104
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: That means half the people in his district make less

105
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: than forty four thousand. And this is for a household.

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: This is including all the adults working. Forty four thousand.

107
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: That's astonishingly low. That's that's really poor. Do they know, though,

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: how much money he's cost them with all of his

109
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: global warming tax increases. They don't know that he was

110
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the lead on some of this global warming nonsense that

111
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: created all these taxes at the pump and on industry

112
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: and on the oil and gas drilling that was passed

113
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: down to us. He's cost them thousands of dollars, but

114
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: nobody knows that, but they vote for him. Well, he's

115
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: one of us. I mean, he's he's he's I mean,

116
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: he's a cruk. Apparently, from what we understand, he can

117
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: stay if he wants even if they do affect a recall,

118
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: that will be for a while. And according to the

119
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: city Charter, as long as his office is ring out

120
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: duties for constituents, he's not considered to be resigned or quit.

121
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: They should recalled him because he's a big reason gas

122
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: in their district costs two dollars and fifty cents more

123
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: than the rest of the country. He's personally responsible. You

124
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: could look up all the laws that he that he

125
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: shepherded through the Senate. I just remember SP fifty four,

126
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: the sanctuary state bill. Yeah, because it was he was

127
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: out front with that one, talking about his family members.

128
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: They were what facing IDs, doing identity theft, sometimembers. He's

129
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: talking about they've committed some of these quote so called

130
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: crimes to survive. It was pushing for SP fifty four

131
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: as it affects criminals. All right, when we come back,

00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: all the way through five twenty. Another keyword good going.

155
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm distracted by an ad for Jared Kushner's best selling book,

156
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: Breaking History, a White House memoir. Oh yeah, I want

157
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: to read that. I'm shocked to find out. Like I've

158
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: been watching some of these celebrity Jeopardy Wheel of Fortune shows.

159
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: Not only they do not know any of the celebrity contestants,

160
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: they all have books. All that we're talking about books.

161
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: The world of books just fascinates. Well, you can self

162
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: publish down and sell a lot on Amazon if you

163
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: can get publicity for yourself. Now, I guess if you

164
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: have a social media following, you might buy your book. Yeah,

165
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: and they do. I mean these people have hundreds of thousands,

166
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: maybe millions of people, so their bots. Get out of here.

167
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: Debra Mark has bots following her. Oh I'm sure deb

168
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: is a bot. Yeah, I am Debra Bots. Here we go.

169
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: A verdict came down today. Out of Wisconsin. November twenty first,

170
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, a guy driving an SUV red Ford

171
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Escape plowed through people at a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

172
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: Six died, sixty one injured. The man arrest him. There

173
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: was the guy that ran to like somebody's house and

174
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: tried to hide there. Remember that couple that he just

175
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: was banging on the front door asking for help, like

176
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: he was almless. They didn't put two and two together

177
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: right away, and then they realized this might be the

178
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: guy the cops are looking for in the parade, mowing

179
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: down people at the parade. His name is Daryl Brooks.

180
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: A couple of things happened with this trial. It took

181
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: a while because he decided at the last minute to

182
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: represent himself yep. And he was disrupting the court constantly,

183
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: to the point where several times he had to be

184
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: removed to an adjoining room and given like a headset

185
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: and a monitor to follow the proceedings. He wanted to

186
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: present himself as a sovereign citizen. Oh we know that term,

187
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: don't we, John. That was big on this show ten

188
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: or twenty years ago. Everybody was considering themselves a sovereign

189
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: someone who didn't want to pay taxes. It was part

190
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: of the militia movement. And that's right. I didn't recognize

191
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: the US government's rule over their lives. Yeah, so you

192
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: declared yourself sovereign citizen. You're like a self governing your

193
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: your own nation. That's right. You did not report to

194
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: any government. They're all phony I'm a sovereign citizen. So

195
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: he was challenging the jurisdiction of the court over him

196
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: because he's a sovereign citizen, and he kept yelling, provide

197
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: the proof of your jurisdiction. The judge in this case

198
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: must have gone crazy, China. The judge actually provided proof,

199
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: you know if she did. Yeah, she issued a written

200
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: ruling on the court's jurisdiction explaining it to him, but

201
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: he never accepted it. Well, she probably didn't want him

202
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: to have any base is for an appeal, so she

203
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: just went through the motions of trying to satisfy this

204
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: mental patient. It's just seventy six charges. Yeah, sixty one

205
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: people were injured along with the six that were killed

206
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: in first degree intentional homicide. Got guilty on everything everything.

207
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: I heard a couple of points he tried to make.

208
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: He tried to convince the jury that this was not

209
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: done on purpose. This was just a terrible accident. But

210
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: you don't, Yeah, you don't accidentally run over seventy six people.

211
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: That's not possible. They also charged him with they dropped

212
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: the charges, but there were two domestic violence charges involving

213
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: his ex girlfriend, but they did drop those. They were

214
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: originally like eighty something charges against him, but no, no,

215
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: and remember what happened after this, and I didn't really

216
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: follow it up. But people said this should have been

217
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: a hate crime too, because these are all like older

218
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: white people, right. Yeah, Oh, if it was the reverse,

219
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: it would have been a hate crime. Absolutely would have

220
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: been covered as a racial hate cried by the media. Instead,

221
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: this particular story became a footnote. Yeah, it wasn't there

222
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: a report at the time that he was running from something,

223
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: which is why he jumped into the suv and just fled.

224
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: And he was in such a hurry that he didn't

225
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: care that there were people on the parade route. I thought,

226
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: I remember seeing that, but I don't remember what it

227
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: was he was running from. Maybe it was the domestic

228
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: violent situation. Nobody wanted to cover this thing. What should happened? No,

229
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: that was the complaint that the media didn't care because

230
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: the victims were white. Well that was Yeah, this is

231
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one Christmas Parade, so we're still in

232
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: the throes of the George Floyd result revolt, so this

233
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: kind of crime would not be considered worthy of national

234
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: media coverage. Right. The judge in the case was Jennifer Durou.

235
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: It took her twenty five minutes to read the guilty

236
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 1: verdicts on all seventy six charges. Wow, hen get the

237
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: death penalty. I don't know. That was pretty intentional homicide.

238
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what it Wisconsin. Maybe they do have a

239
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: death row, but I don't. They don't execute anybody as

240
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: far as I know. Yeah, I don't remember them coming

241
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: up at all. No, he did not really react much.

242
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: He just sat there with his head in his folded hands,

243
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: his elbows on the table. So representing himself, is he

244
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: now gonna appeal? Does not have the death penalty? Come on? Say? Oh,

245
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: apparently in the old days they did murder trials and

246
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: hangings occurred regularly back in the eighteen hundreds in Wisconsin

247
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin. Yeah, ah, the good old days. Yeah, eighteen

248
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: fifty three, though, they they got rid of the death penalty.

249
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: They oh really yeah? Yeah, he kept objecting. I remember

250
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: I was following this for a while, standing up in

251
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: court and just putting on a show. Objective. Boy, an

252
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: eight year old died. That's terrible. The sixth victim was

253
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: an eight year old named Jackson Sparks. Not that I

254
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: don't feel bad that the other victims are elderly and

255
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: they died. But do you know why they got rid

256
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: of the death penalty. No, it's a bizarre story. There

257
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: was a new law in eighteen forty nine the death

258
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: penalty would just be for first degree murder. And the

259
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: first guy but to death was John McCaffrey of Kenosha.

260
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: Murdered his wife and he was hanged publicly before an

261
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: audience of several thousand people. Such a big crowd. It

262
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: became a spectacle and they, I guess the hanging and

263
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: the crowd like upset a lot of people, so they

264
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: decided to abolish it by eighteen fifty three. Look at

265
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: that back then, I guess people were enjoying themselves too much. Yeah,

266
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: they are going to hold this year's Christmas parade. They're

267
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: not going to drop the tradition because there but clearly

268
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: a lot more security. A bunch of barriers will be

269
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: put up to make sure no vehicles can drive through

270
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: any of the area. But they're gonna hold it two

271
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: weeks later, so it won't happen until the first Sunday

272
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: in December. So they're trying to rebuild life there all right.

273
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: When we come back Gavin Newsom apparently proud that well,

274
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: the California test scores for the child for the kids

275
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: were abysmal. We didn't sink as much as the other states.

276
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: But you know, you need to hear a longer explanation

277
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: as to how bad the student test scores are in California.

278
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: And we'll get into it coming up. John and Ken

279
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: kf I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

280
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: But you know, vote for him again, all right. The

281
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: Moist Line is a roaring back around and just two

00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: from all of you. He really looks forward to Friday's Moistline.

287
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: He embraces it. A couple of News Nuggets guests who

288
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: moved into Twitter HQ. Elon Musk for some reason, he

289
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: was carrying a sink, but he made a joke about it.

290
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: Let this sink in. He was actually carrying it like

291
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: a little bathroom sink. Yeah, I saw that. I didn't

292
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: get it. He is referring to himself, and I do

293
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: like this. As the chief twit, he's it always supposed

294
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: to lay off seventy five percent of the staff. That's

295
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: what he's threatening to do. Yeah. Probably. I always wondered

296
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: what people do with those social media companies that they

297
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: censor people's opinions, that's what they do. Do you have

298
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: like a computer algorithm that the walk they walk around

299
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: getting offended? A big story today and I did find

300
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: out something I've been waiting now is to find out

301
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: one nugget. Beverly Baker is the woman that's making world news.

302
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: The video is everywhere. She's the Pasadena woman that went

303
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: up to a neighbor's home, a neighbor family lives several

304
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: blocks away, and took a pickaxe to the house. It

305
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: is troubling. It is like almost a perfect Halloween video.

306
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: She looks like something from a horror movie, from her

307
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: outfit to the pickaxe, and she just starts smashing the

308
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: windows and sides of the house. And thankfully nobody was hurt.

309
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: There was a baby in a bassinette, but a grandmother

310
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: scooped up the baby quickly before the glass smashed into

311
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: the room. This is why I So did I say,

312
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: John earlier, I wanted to see anybody that knows her

313
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: would say anything. Okay, there is somebody that's emerged, no name,

314
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: but it is the ex husband. The ex husband. The

315
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: ex husband says, she's clearly suffering a mental health crisis.

316
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: That's all he said. Well it wasn't much, but somebody

317
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: surfaced an ex husband. Well he's he's probably happy he

318
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: got out of there alive. Can you imagine what's what

319
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: he saw inside the house. She actually walks up to

320
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: the house, smashes it, walks away, comes back again. Yeah,

321
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: smashes all the windows. They had these Florida ceiling doors,

322
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: and she wiped out every single window. And then the

323
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: glass shattered and fell into the bassinette and the grandma

324
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: had rescued the baby just five seconds before all this

325
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: glass landed in the inner bed there. Well, we don't

326
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: know is why this house? Because she lives blocks away.

327
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: So and I thought when I saw the headline last night,

328
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: it's got to be a homeless person. It's not. She

329
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: loves no. I mean sixty five years old too. Yeah,

330
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: long black curl, spooky looking, and she had a long

331
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: green blue dress right down to the floor. I don't know.

332
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: He uh, the guy who owns the the guy who

333
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: owns the house or the father of the baby, said

334
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: that this was a targeted at back on his family.

335
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: That's what he thinks. She does say get out, just

336
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: like the movie get Out, So maybe he took that

337
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: to me. He actually she yelled questions, questions, anyone I'll

338
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: be back, get out questions. I wouldn't have come out

339
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: to ask any questions. No, sir, I won't be at

340
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: that press conference. Let's turn our attentions to Governor dippity

341
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: do Sunday night to get out knew some issue to

342
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: press release claiming that just released educational assessment data shows

343
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: that California performed better than most other states and the

344
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: nation on the National Assessment of Educational Progress data. These

345
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: are the student test scores that we talked about the

346
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: other day. So he wanted to use this opportunity to

347
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: brag a bit, and he loves to compare us to

348
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: other states. Eat your heart out, Texas, Florida. He even

349
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: claimed that the National Assessment of Educational Progress data show

350
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: California students held steady in reading while the nation decline

351
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: loss less ground in math than students national held steady

352
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: at an extremely low rate. Right, there's not much more

353
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: to fall that I honestly, you just can't get much

354
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: lower than we are already. So even having a catastrophic

355
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: year and a half with most of the schools closed

356
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: could damage these low ratings. You know, at some point,

357
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: at some point, there's just a certain percentage of intelligent,

358
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: resilient kids who are motivated to learn, and there's nothing

359
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: you could do to them. And I think that's all

360
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: that's left. You know what, what the California Globe has

361
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: is a much better perspective here. They took a three

362
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: year time period from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two,

363
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: and they looked at different demographics math proficiency, because we're

364
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: the children are particularly awful in math in this state.

365
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: White students dropped from forty seven scent to thirty four

366
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: percent proficiency in three years. Black students dropped from ten

367
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: percent to seven percent proficiency close to there. Hispanic students

368
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: dropped from fifteen to eleven percent. This is what I'm saying.

369
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: When you're at seven and eleven percent, there's very little

370
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: room to fall lower. And what does proficiency mean that

371
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: you're just at a level where you got enough to

372
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: that you're doing what the minimum requirements for your age

373
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: for age? Right, you're great, right. Low income students eleven percent.

374
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Those are the ones eligible for the free school lunch program.

375
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: So we get them all that free food, get nothing

376
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: for it. Even affluent students drop them fifty percent to

377
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: forty one. Wow, reading is bad too. White students dropped

378
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: from forty five to thirty nine. This is over a

379
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: three year period. Yet this is, by the way, Newsom's

380
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: entire term as governor lying sack. Black students slightly increased

381
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen percent, Hispanic students nineteen to twenty, low

382
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: income students eighteen to twenty this is reading again, And

383
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: affluent students decreased a bit from forty seven to forty five.

384
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: I what I don't understand is because there's constant public

385
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: prattling about the cheil adren Why are we so cruel

386
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: to them? Why do we create school systems that fail

387
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: them so badly? Yeah? And that story last hour? How

388
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: you know in Bonden's West La we allow all the

389
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: homeless and traumatize to traumatize the kids. Why do we

390
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: do that? What is what is that about? They? I

391
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: mean we all know what the problems are. We hear

392
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: about them constantly, and nothing changes. And even even the

393
00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: kids parents at these schools don't try to facilitate any change.

394
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: And the most powerful union in the state is the

395
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: California Teachers Union. And why are they so cruel? There's

396
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: like some strange psychosis that's overtaken the whole society. It's

397
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: also the creeping crawl. We've had so much migration over

398
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: the decades, where you're bringing in kids that don't know

399
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: the language, and they come from low income families. It's

400
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: like an impossible task to get them up to a

401
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: proficiency level. And at his only worsened. Oh still see

402
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: the effects of that. But that's what strikes me. Even

403
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: the affluon students. You can't even yea, they dropped too

404
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: now you can't even get a fifty percent rating on that.

405
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: That is weird. It's below fifty for reading and math,

406
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: all right. So they have all the money, they come

407
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: from privilege, and still more than half of them have

408
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. Some of that the Zoom school, well,

409
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It goes back to twenty nineteen, this

410
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: particular study. So it was bad in twenty nine teen. Yeah,

411
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: it's always been bad in California. Why all right? We

412
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: got more coming up? John and Ken KF I am

413
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: six forty five everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. Well,

414
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: Jerry Lee Lewis is alive, but still Tim Go died.

415
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: He is a radio presenter in Britain who died along

416
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: the air. Isn't it like your biggest nightmare to just well, uh,

417
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: what don't it sound like? I think a record was

418
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: playing its broadcasting from homes. I guess nobody knew from

419
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: a studio in his home, and I guess once the

420
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: record just good through whatever to play the music. So

421
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: it didn't happen while he was actually speaking on the air. No,

422
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it did all right, because I was

423
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna say, I want I wanted to hear a clip

424
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: of that. That's pretty coolish Happy Halloween. Oh you'd listen

425
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: to it. I'm gonna take a pickaxe to your house

426
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: if you were. If you read did some guy died

427
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: on there? You'd want to hear. We're kind of like

428
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: weird noisy made and what it's seizing up? What's right?

429
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: If you heard a death rattle before you hit the floor, croak. Yeah, like, oh,

430
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, thanks, you're helping out a little gagging sound.

431
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: We have another shortage to report on, and this may

432
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: be more serious than you think. We're running out of helium,

433
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: a global helium shortage. This has been going on for years.

434
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: You're right, because I remember you told me years ago

435
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: when you went to the balloon store. Yes, they didn't

436
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: have any helium. No, And I was outraged, but I

437
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: didn't Yeah, your kid's balloons to keep them afloat. Thought

438
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: it was local mismanagement. I didn't realize it was a

439
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: worldwide problem. It is, and apparently it is extracted from

440
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: the Earth. In case people were sure where helium comes from,

441
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: and more than just the balloons, it's used in MRIs.

442
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: I did know this. Yeah, MRIs cannot work without them.

443
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: An MRI can function without some two thousand liters of

444
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: ultra cold liquid helium keeping the magnets cool enough to work.

445
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: You have, helium is found deep within the Earth's crust

446
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: and it's running low, and hospitals who are trying to

447
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: figure out what are they going to do with a

448
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: scarcer supply, they may tell you, sorry, we can't do

449
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: your MRI. We have no helium. Bring your own helium. Well,

450
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: they have to keep it liquid. Helium boils at minus

451
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty two degrees, so you have to

452
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: keep it extremely cold. It's the coldest element on Earth.

453
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: Liquid helium. Ooh, and helium lets the current, the magnetic

454
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: current travel resistance free, and that's why the MRI can work.

455
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: But you were right. I remember there were problems with

456
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: helium years go. It maybe getting worse than One of

457
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: the reasons, believe it or not, is Russia. An enormous

458
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: new facility in eastern Russia was supposed to supply nearly

459
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: one third of the world's helium, but a fire last

460
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: January derailed the timeline it could resume operations, but the

461
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: war in Ukraine has stopped trade between the two countries. Right,

462
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: it's always about putin you know what we don't We

463
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: don't oil, it's helium, no, but do you know natural gas?

464
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: All the important stuff that we need in modern life,

465
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: we don't have any control over, Like the Russians have

466
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: a third of the helium, right, and they're not going

467
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: to give us any helium for a long time. And

468
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: it's like the Chinese have control over cobalt and all

469
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: those other elements they need to create electric car batteries

470
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: because they brought up all the mines in the Congo, right,

471
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: and that other story we didn't get to it today.

472
00:28:53,240 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: But the huge chip manufacturers in Taiwan, and if China

473
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: ever barges into Taiwan it takes it over, we might

474
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: be out of luck. Oh, they think it could be

475
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: as big as the nineteen twenty nine stock market crash. Yeah,

476
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: because they need those chips. They not only produce an

477
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: enormous number of chips, they produced the most advanced chips,

478
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: and all our computers are tuned to use these advanced chips.

479
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: And only now are our companies starting the process of

480
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: building chip factories in this country. Of course, it takes

481
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: years and billions of dollars to get a factory going.

482
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: And they say their products still won't be as good

483
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: as this company in Taiwan called TSMC. Well, we really

484
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: are on the edge with a lot of things. The

485
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: worst thing we ever did was to outsource all the

486
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: manufacturing to China, Taiwan, Vietnam, everywhere else. Yeah, we're paying

487
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: the price, aren't the preposteros? Well think because and they

488
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: did it because it's so much cheaper people work at

489
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: slave wages. There's no environmental laws there, that's right. Well,

490
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: everything's about getting cheaper goods. Yeah, but this is gonna

491
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: cost everybody a hell of a lot. Now, why do

492
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: you think Walmart stuff is cheap? Yeah? I know, well, yeah,

493
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: you always end up paying for it. We're gonna get

494
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: bitten by by that theory. Oh I didn't think you

495
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: were coming in. Yeah, we were told you. I made it.

496
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: I got long commute, I got stuck in traffic on Olive.

497
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: It was I missed a light there. I thought I

498
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: was gonna make it. Um, I so elon Musk walks

499
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: into Twitter. He you know, he'll own that thing as

500
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: of Friday. That's gotta be pretty cool to walk into

501
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: a company like that you paid forty billion dollars for

502
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: and you're the you're the big guy. Now, yeah, you

503
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: know until you meet the employees. Right there, spa forty

504
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: billion dollars on this crowd right for for for employees

505
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: that ninety eight percent of him hate him. Yeah, yeah,

506
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: well there you go. What can you do? La City Council?

507
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: Will I talk to you about Lake Trolley, about the

508
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: La City Council? I guess Kevin de Leone and Giltadio

509
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: or not not going anywhere? What? Yeah, so I heard

510
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: that's breaking that's breaking news right there, all right. And

511
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: then we also have, uh, what is it? Oh, the

512
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: government's gonna make putting a billion dollars for electric school buses.

513
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen one of these things catch fire?

514
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: These electric school buses? Not seen it? Years ago? I saw,

515
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: I saw photos. Yeah, because we had we had electric

516
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: buses in la and if they went uphill, they burn up.

517
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: They would, Yeah, they burn up, catch fire. In fact,

518
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: David Goldstein had a report of all the burned out

519
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 1: buses that the city keeps in an abandoned lot. Yes, right, exactly,

520
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: remember that, yeah exactly. Um, so the school buses that

521
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: catch fire are now going to be transporting our kids.

522
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: So good idea. And police seeking to identifying man who's

523
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: still fourteen atm machines and breya you get you gotta

524
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: give it to that guy, right? Those are heavy, aren't that?

525
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: That's a good haul. They're extremely heavy, and usually one

526
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: has around forty to sixty thousand dollars in it. But

527
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: that wasn't enough for him, right, He was going for

528
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: it long and you gotta give it to him again.

529
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe he's listening right now, enjoying a beer

530
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: in a seven figure hall. Then yeah, right, Look, my

531
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: dad always says, if you know you shouldn't commit crime,

532
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: but if you're gonna do it, you gotta retire on it.

533
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: You know, you can't do this petty crap where you're

534
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: steal a piece of pizza from seven to eleven, go big, yes, exactly.

535
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: And and if and if I walk into another seven

536
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: eleven where the clerk looks at me like I'm stealing something,

537
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ape s. Every time I walk into

538
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: any seven to eleven the guy looks at me like

539
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm stealing you. Wow, everybody, everybody. It's the weirdest. It's

540
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: the weirdest customer service. I've ever seen him A traumatize.

541
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: And then I I paid for something and I was

542
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: supposed to get It was a six dollar item and

543
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: I was supposed to get fourteen dollars back and change.

544
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: So I gave the guy at one, I go give

Speaker 1: I saw him all the way in his potty had twenties.

550
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: And then every time a seven eleven gets a twenty

00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: man that goes right in the safe and they jump

552
