1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: All right, Calfie's final keyword of the day is coming

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: up at about fifteen minutes on the John and Kent Show.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: And as we just told you, John got recognition from

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: one listener said she likes that he reads the keyword

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: twice one one listener, you know, and leaning in and

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: really want to win that money. So take them serious.

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: That's the one in a million, the one in a million.

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: All right, we're talking about dippity do in a moment

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: in one of these classic time stars about that story

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: how he has to lean in during his second term

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: because of the quote narrative out there by the Republican

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: networks and Republican politicians, the narrative. No, it's the truth.

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: But we'll get to that in a moment. It struck

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: me that I heard the term because I always pick

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: it up on the new lingo rent burdened, rented, I haven't.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that one. You enjoyed food and secure. Yes,

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: I have not heard rent burdened. Rent burdened means that

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: rent is taking up more than thirty percent of your income.

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: We all are therefore considered rent. But I think the

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: old rule used to be twenty twenty five percent. And

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: you should be paying in rent or mortgage something like that.

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: What how people do when there weren't all these victimization

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: descriptions because that the employers are exploiting. I just, I

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: just can you imagine did you ever hear a term

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: like that if you couldn't afford the rent or mortgage

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: yet to move to a cheaper place. I don't understand

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: everybody thinks they got a god given right to a

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: certain type of house or apartment that they can afford. No,

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: you don't. The way a market economy works, you got

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: to go to a cheaper place. Then the term rent

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: burden would probably only come from a job action of academics.

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: It's one of the bigger stories to day in California.

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Forty eight thousand unionized academic workers UAW across u sees

34
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: ten campuses have walked off the job, and one of

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: them use the term rent burdened, which I guess has

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: a real meaning. These are teaching assistants, postdoctoral scholars, graduate

37
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: student researchers, tutors, and fellows. Oh, John, and you and

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: I enjoy when we see a fellow. I want to

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: be a fellow. Someday. They claim that they are underpaid vastly.

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: We can provide a couple of examples to give you

41
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: an idea. They are demanding significant pay increases, childcare subsidies,

42
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: enhanced healthcare for dependence, longer family leave, public transit passes,

43
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: and lower tuition costs for the international scholars. Amongst their group,

44
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: their current average pay is twenty four thousand dollars a year,

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: so they well, yeah, and many of them got advanced degrees,

46
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: I mean post doctoral scholars. So they got a bachelor's,

47
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: a master's, and a doctorate and they get to work

48
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: for twenty four thousand a year. We talked about this

49
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: the other day. You can't go and get worthless degrees

50
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: and then and then stamp your feet and cry. I

51
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: didn't think of these necessarily though, as primitive jobs. I

52
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: thought these were more transitional things that people take this

53
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: work while they're pursuing maybe another degree. Well, well yeah,

54
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: while they're pursuing another degree. Eventually they take on these tasks.

55
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: So I thought, you know, this is like working at

56
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: a fast food place. You move on from this, so

57
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: don't get worked up for a couple of years that

58
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: you're only getting paid thirty thousand dollars. Now, they think

59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: it should be fifty four grand base salary, and right

60
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: now you see is not coming to the table on

61
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: that number. You see believes it's offers are generous, responsive

62
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: to union priorities, and recognize the many valuable contributions of

63
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: these employees. They've offered a salary increase of seven percent

64
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: the first year, three percent each subsequent year. But workers

65
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: say that's not They want to go from twenty four

66
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: to fifty four, which you're not gonna get that with

67
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: seven percent. Yeah, so yeah, they're far apart. Well, you

68
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: see system like a lot of universities, it's so ridiculous.

69
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: They have so many nonsense administrators. I mean I've I've

70
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: heard they've Yeah, they've got like, um, there's a thing

71
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: that's just like a lot of school district they have

72
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: like an administrator for every teacher, some ridiculous ratio like that. Yeah,

73
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: and they don't do anything. All my kids went to colleges.

74
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Even even in their in their high school, they said

75
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: there were these administrators with offices and they had mystery

76
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: jobs and they walked around the hallways and nobody knew

77
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: what they did, and they had some weird title. Oh

78
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: and when the diversity obsessions started right the diversity, equity

79
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: and inclusion crowd. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it provided a

80
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: whole new as a lot of Yeah, there's a lot

81
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: of offices filled with people who have nothing to do,

82
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: because what are you gonna what are you gonna do

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: with a job like that or a degree like that?

84
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: So here are some of their stories. We'll see what

85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: you think. Jamie Mandelo is a twenty seven year old

86
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: psychology graduate student worker I should stop right there right

87
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: psychology graduates and order and UCLA AT A member of

88
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: the union. She makes about thirty seven thousand a year

89
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: as a fellow and is planning to add a teaching

90
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: assistantship next quarter to help supplement her income. She was

91
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: out on the picket line forty eight thousand strong. We

92
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: can fight all day long. Lavana not is a third

93
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: year graduate student in the geography department. Well what do

94
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: you do with a geography degree and a student researcher

95
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: makes twenty four thousand dollars a year from her job.

96
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: She has a second job that gives her two thousand

97
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: dollars as a campus on campus greater for teaching assistants

98
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: who don't speak English as their first language. An on

99
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: campus greater for teaching assistance who don't speak English as

100
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: their first language. Wait, wait, so she's kind of their interpreter.

101
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 1: She's a teaching assistant. Wait she grades papers for teaching

102
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: assistants who don't speak English. Yes, well, who are the

103
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: international students? Yes? Well, so they must be involved in

104
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: classes where they give out exams, but they don't speak English,

105
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: so we comes and helps them understand. I mean she

106
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: called her income poverty level wages. Went a second. She

107
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: claims ninety two percent of graduate students are rent burdened.

108
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: They're so Wait, the teaching assistants are so bad at

109
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: English that they can't grade papers. Maybe they don't feel

110
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: that they would be they can't read English. Yeah, they

111
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: wanted someone to help them make sure that they get

112
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: these students answers right and don't misinterpret something. Do you

113
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: see the absurdity of the system. Why are you hiring

114
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: teaching assistants who can't read English? And then you do

115
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: hire them and you need to hire an extra person

116
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: to grade the papers. Well, let's say they're really good

117
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: tech people that might come from I'll just pick a country, India.

118
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: So they're very good at what they do. But the

119
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: language themselves sometimes and they're trying to understand the student's

120
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: answers is not you have to you have to you

121
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: have to read English. That's a deal breaker. Well apparently

122
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: not that you see. It's like a pilot. A pilot

123
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: has to know how to fly airplane. Not having excuse

124
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: as to why he didn't. He can't quite fly an airplane.

125
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: You have to fly it. And if you're working as

126
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: a teaching assistant, yeah, you got to grade the papers

127
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: in English. So they want to get fifty four thousand

128
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: a year, and as I mentioned, their average now was

129
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: twenty four thousand, so that would be a pretty big increase.

130
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: One of the one of these people said she knows

131
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: that parents' parents who are struggling because the childcare subsidies

132
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: that you see provides aren't enough to send their kids

133
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: to childcare. And you see campuses. Well, let's see, you

134
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money on college, probably took out

135
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: big loans, you had heavy payments, and then you have

136
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: children while you're working at these low, low wage college jobs.

137
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: You have kids, and then you complain that the child's

138
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: subsidies aren't enough for you. Well, you're the one who

139
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: had the kids. You were supposed to work at a

140
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: job where you could subsidize your own childcare. What is this?

141
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Who are these people? Jesse Ltieri, twenty seven years old.

142
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: She's a student researcher, employed year round. It only makes

143
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: thirty five grand. She works forty hours a week doing

144
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: cancer and biology research. But she does live in university

145
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: owned housing, so she doesn't have the housing burden, but

146
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: she still finds it difficult. It's subsidized, but not subsidize enough.

147
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: We teach the majority of classes. We grade more papers

148
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: than any faculty member. Yeah, this is the evil thing

149
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: in college. The professors often don't teach very much. They

150
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: don't They slough off a lot of stuff. So that's

151
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: one of the perks of being a full professor. Nobody,

152
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: what are the professors do all day? We know a

153
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: lot of the administrators are supposed to be writing papers

154
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: and doing research and getting the college academic recognition. Thought,

155
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: I thought they're supposed to be educating students. You see,

156
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: the whole the whole system is off kilter. Yeah, the

157
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: professors the primary job ought to be you're educating kids.

158
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: If you don't want to, you can go somewhere else.

159
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: But because they won't educate the kids, they have to

160
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: get teaching assistants. Then they get teaching assistants. You can't

161
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: read English, so the teaching assistant needs an assistant to

162
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: grade the papers. Well, now you have three people instead

163
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: of one, because you won't ask anybody to do the

164
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: basics of their job. Your job is to educate people.

165
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: If you're a teaching assistant, your job is to be

166
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: able to read in English. Well, of course, there isn't

167
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: enough money for all this. All right, when we come back,

168
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: the Times did another would exactly call it a tongue bath,

169
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: but it's closed. It's a slobberfest about Gavin Newsom feels

170
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: pressure in his second term to show results for California.

171
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: You see out there in Fox news Land and other

172
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: conservative news outlets, California is used as the punching bag

173
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: because of our homelessness, crime problems, all the things that

174
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: we know are real. Gavin Newsom wants to change that viewpoint.

175
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: He wants to do something about it. This is a

176
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: weird story as he's positioned. He thinks California as the

177
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: prototype for the country to follow. It's hard to believe,

178
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: but that's apparently where he's at Okay, we'll talk about it.

179
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: You'll get the last keyword of the day, Johnny ken

180
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: KF I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Well,

181
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: as you said, it was a particular lead story in

182
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: the El Segundo Times. Well, you know, Gavin Newsom's reelection

183
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: was easily won and quickly called what a story can

184
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: we write about Gavin Newsom's continuing as California governor. Well,

185
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: the headline is Newsom feels pressure to show results for

186
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: California the second term. Well, which implies there were no

187
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: results in the first term. Well, doesn't it. There weren't any.

188
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: There weren't deady, But people like to think of him

189
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: was some sort of big leader who's the future of

190
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: the party. It's hard to believe you talk about an

191
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: empty suit. We've been through this for too long, but

192
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: this guy's like the epitome of the empty suit. Well,

193
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: all show and style, no substance, and this awfully contradictory

194
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: in this story. I'm trying to sort this out. He

195
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: says he feels pressure to contradict the Fox narrative, the

196
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: narrative and calls the Republican Party. Here's this for a

197
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: little catchy phrase surround sound anger industry. All right. However,

198
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: later on in the story, he says, by the way,

199
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: there's something important to point out there, because what he

200
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: likes to say with that turn is that none of

201
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: the things that they say is true. Or they take

202
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: something very small, one little nugget, and they blow it

203
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: up into the surround sound to make you angry. Right,

204
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: all they're doing is exaggerating everything that goes on in

205
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: California in order to work up their audience. If you

206
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: know where I heard that before. I've heard people say

207
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: that about you, and I said, tell me something that

208
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about that isn't true. Oh no, John just

209
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: says things to get people riled, and they're not true.

210
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: The things he says. I never get challenged on that. No,

211
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: they're true. They're true. But it makes people But they're like,

212
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: well then why is he so angry? Well, people shouldn't

213
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: be more worked up. You should be angry. See, it

214
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: makes people uncomfortable when you when you confront people with

215
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: something that's right, but it's something that they don't want

216
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: to do the work to fix. Then they turn it's

217
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: a game. They turn it around and bat it back

218
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: to you. Why are you so angry? All? My anger

219
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: is not the Why are you not fixing this problem? See,

220
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: be careful of people who do that. Why are you

221
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: so angry? Why? Why did you do this? Why didn't

222
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: you fix this? Why shouldn't a person be Hey, if

223
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: I've got a homeless encampment in front of my kid's school,

224
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to be? Happy? Delighted? I've asked

225
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: politely for you to fix it, and for four years

226
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: you haven't fixed it. Now when I point that out, Hey,

227
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: for four years, you've let this homeless encampment grow really big.

228
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh you're angry, Yes I am. I'm a nimby and

229
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm angry. And I've got twenty seven people in front

230
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: of my kid's school who are homeless, who are defecating

231
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: and urinating and child molesting and all the other stuff,

232
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: using drugs and injecting themselves. God, this is again, this

233
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: is this game of where they play ping pong with you.

234
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: They don't say you're right, we're gonna fix that, and

235
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: then fix it. It's like, well, you're just a nimbie.

236
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Well you're just angry, Well you're just fox news. Well

237
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 1: what are you it's almost incoherent set of responses. And

238
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: you know what is they're dodging the responsibility. They don't

239
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: want to do it for whatever reason, whether it's their

240
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: own weird old political cult they belong to, or you know,

241
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: maybe they're just lazy. Well, don't kid yourself. This crowd

242
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: really believes Newsome and his minions that California is the

243
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: prototype of the nation. Having been here and reported on

244
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: what's happened to this state in the last ten or

245
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: fifteen years, we can tell you, God, we hope not so.

246
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: Newsom likes to say this. Well, they're coming for California.

247
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: It's not exaggerated. They do not succeed unless we fail.

248
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: Do He love to come up with sentences like that.

249
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: But they do not succeed unless we fail. Well, whatever

250
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: they talk about, isn't that like, it's not true you

251
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: are failing. That's changing the subject. It's changing the subject

252
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: and analyzing what television pundits are saying. That's not the problem.

253
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: The problem again is the homeless encampment in front of

254
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: my kid's school. And he veers off to talk about

255
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: Fox News. That's right, This is the famous gas lighting. Yes,

256
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: making people, making people think that what they can see

257
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: with their own eyes and hear with their own ears

258
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: isn't happening by telling them things like that's just Fox News,

259
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: is portrayal of us, that's not really who we are,

260
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: our values. And look at the way exaggerate everything over there.

261
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: Look at the way this story is written. Newsom shuffled

262
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: to the right politically on homelessness by creating care court. Right,

263
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: shuffled to the right. Yeah, and that's sending the homeless

264
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: people with mental illness into a court ordered treat which

265
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet. But yeah, what is this shuffling to

266
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: the right. Isn't that the normal obvious thing to do,

267
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: regardless of your political beliefs is you have no see

268
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: now you hit upon it. Everything is politics. No, No,

269
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: that's right, it's mentally there are no there are no

270
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: longer any logical middle solutions things that just makes sense

271
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: to people. Common sense people used to call it. No, no, no.

272
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: If you want to do anything with the homeless, that

273
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: isn't about building more housing than you're shuffling to the right. Yeah. Right,

274
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: you have a mentally old person who walks without pants

275
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: into a long beach diner. Now to say Wow, that

276
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: guy's in a lot of trouble here mentally. Let's take

277
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: him to a clinic. You're shuffling to the right, aren't you.

278
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: It's like, no, no, there's a guy in the diner

279
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: who we heard this story last hour who walked up

280
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: to a kid's birthday party and he's got no pants on.

281
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: Where'd you get that? Fox News? No? No, no, see

282
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: him there? Look, look he's there. He's there. His junk

283
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: is dangling right in front of those little kids. Kids

284
00:16:54,320 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: are screaming, Oh, you're just a nimbie. Now listen to

285
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: this quote. He says later in this story, people need

286
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: to see results, and they deserve it. I hear the

287
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: critics loudly, and they're not wrong about a lot of things.

288
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: What hold on? On page one he said that it's

289
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: just exaggerated, and this is just the right wing surround

290
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: sound anger industry. We have to we have to contradict

291
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: the narrative. And then he goes, well, I hear them loudly,

292
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: and they're not wrong about a lot of things. Well,

293
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: what are those a lot of things that we're not

294
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: wrong about? And why did it take you four years

295
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: to come to that? Oh? I know you're running for president,

296
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: and somebody told you and got through that thick wooden skull.

297
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, Gavin, you run for president. There's going

298
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: to be commercials twenty four hours a day showing San

299
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: Francisco and Los Angeles there, you were, are there, now

300
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: you're governor. There. They're gonna highlight all of the problems

301
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: those cities have. Listen to this quote from this Dana Williamson,

302
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: Newsom's incoming executive secretary. I think the second term is

303
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: always kind of about implementing. Well, why wasn't there implementing

304
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: in the first term? That was four years? That's what

305
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: I said, And it sound like he's done nothing his

306
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: first four years. He's the incoming executive secretary. What the

307
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: whole position is that people need to see results and

308
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: they deserve it. Listen to they do. See the next paragraph,

309
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: Newsom says he doesn't believe people understand the way in

310
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: which his administration has begun to address California's deeply rooted

311
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: challenges of poverty, homelessness, and housing affordable. People don't understand.

312
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: And the next paragraph is about all the money you

313
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: spent on social programs, Well, it didn't work, you know,

314
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: what when that budget deficit surf plus disappears, that it's

315
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: going too soon. You're going to regret setting up all

316
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: of these expensive programs. They can't be paid for. And

317
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: what will they do. They'll raise taxes again. We've already

318
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: got the high taxes. See the loop that we get

319
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: stuck in with people like this, it's crazy. He admits

320
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: he did nothing the first four years. In fact, they're

321
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: looking for The only reason they're looking for accomplishments is

322
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: he's running for president. If for some reason he was

323
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: satisfied with the end of his political career in four years,

324
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be working on anything, because he didn't work

325
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: on anything first four years except shutting down schools and

326
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: shutting down businesses. That's all he did. And by the ways,

327
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: they're shut down. He's proud. It says here that California

328
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: is soon going to become the world's fourth largest economy.

329
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: Well wait a minute, that's thanks to the tech people,

330
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: it's not thanks to Sacramento. And the state is incredibly unbalanced.

331
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: There's way too much poverty, there's no middle class, and

332
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: prices and taxes are way out of the reach of

333
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Well, so just because some billionaires

334
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: or holding things up with the tech end doesn't mean

335
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: you get to brag about the state's economy. He brags

336
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: about them expanding funding for medical Well, the reason they're

337
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: expanding and spending so much money is we have an

338
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: enormous amount of poor people. There's no point in having

339
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: the fourth largest economy if you have millions and millions

340
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: of poor people. What are you bragging about. The wealth

341
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: is all tied up in a very narrow sliver, and

342
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: he knows this because he complains about all this. He

343
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: also taxes them to the extreme. All Right, we got

344
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: more coming up. It is the Johnny Ken Show KF

345
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

346
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm insane. Maybe I just went insane. Giggles, Oh sure, laugh, laugh,

347
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: Is that just happened? Yeah, Well, we're going to spend

348
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: a few minutes now talking about one of the big

349
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: financial explosions of the last week. And that's what's happening

350
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: to the company known as f t X. Oh I

351
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: love this story. If you're not familiar ft it's a

352
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency exchange. It's built by traders for everyone. They buy

353
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: and sell your popular cryptocurrency products whatever they are out there.

354
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: So I guess they're kind of a middleman, is a

355
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: way to put it in the cryptocurrency world. Yeah, yeah,

356
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: you give them. You could give them a regular cash

357
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: and say I want to buy some bitcoin, or I

358
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: want to buy some ethereum or you know, or you

359
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: want to sell some right and you know there's there's

360
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: hundreds of these cryptos. Well, they were founded in twenty nineteen,

361
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: just a few years old. The CEO is a man

362
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: by the name of Sam Bankman hyphen Freed and um. Well,

363
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: the problem with the company right now is that they've

364
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: had a severe, severe meltdown to the tune of billions.

365
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: The latest figure I have is it's a sixteen billion

366
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: dollar implosion. And now they're reports that two billion dollars

367
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: in customer funds are missing. Now, Bankman Freed has been

368
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: spotted over the weekend in the Bahamas. Well that's where

369
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: his company was located. They set up the company in

370
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: the Bahamas because there are no laws there. And now

371
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: he told Reuters he would be in the Caribbean. FTX

372
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: is headquartered in the Caribbean. You're right, but what's really

373
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: he's a weirdo Okay, it said he grew up on

374
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: the Stanford campus because his parents were two Stanford professors,

375
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: and he grew up next to some kind of next

376
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: door was a vegan fraternity which used to have nude

377
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: Halloween parties. Oh that was in one report. And he's

378
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: a math genius, but he supposed they has very poor

379
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: social skills. And he bought a thirty million dollars penthouse

380
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: apartment in the Bahamas where he and ten other co

381
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: workers all lived together, and using crypto to buy things

382
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: or yeah, he's well, he's using he's using the money

383
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: from the company, whatever he's paid himself, or whatever he's

384
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: invested in these various He was considered like the face

385
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: of crypto, okay, and he's this curly haired, goofy looking guy.

386
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: But now they're saying that ten billion dollars of the

387
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: money well from FTX was funneled into a company called

388
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: Alameda Research, which is run by his girlfriend there you go,

389
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: Caroline Ellison. And apparently he set up the account at

390
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: at FTX with a secret backdoor that he could loop

391
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: money from and did not show up for anybody who

392
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: is trying to analyze their financial system. Some are calling

393
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: him the made off of this generation. Yeah, he might

394
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: be listen to this though. The ten people that he

395
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: lived with, they called it a polycule, like a molecule,

396
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: a polycuele. It is people who all are sleeping with

397
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: each other sexually, a polyamorous relationship with multiple people, because

398
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: you know, I read another story which said listed some

399
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: of the people that he lived and worked with, and

400
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: he said, all these people have been involved with each

401
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: other sexually. And I'm looking as like as a couple

402
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: of women. There's several guys there. It's like, well, what's

403
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: going on. Second story I read is, yeah, it was

404
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: like a big swinging operation Mary. All the men and

405
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: all the women were all sleeping with each other, whether

406
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: they were male or female. So this is what he

407
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: was doing in the Mohammas, and he secretly took a

408
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: couple of billion dollars out and he was sending money

409
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: to his girlfriend's sister company. Well, there's a report that

410
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: he was the second biggest donor to the Democratic Party

411
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: last year. But according to one researcher, he's not about politics.

412
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: He's trying to virtue signaling to hide what he was

413
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: really up to. The political contributions to the Democratic Party,

414
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: and all of this philanthropy was about making himself look

415
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: good and buying protection. He was part of a movement

416
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: called effective altruism, which it's it's a form of socialism

417
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: where he wanted to get wealthy people to give away

418
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: all their money for a climate change, social justice, acquitting,

419
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: banning meat, all this stuff, except he was siphoning off

420
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: the money and using it for his weird sex cult.

421
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: In the Obamas, it was much money for a sex culture.

422
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: It was all affront. He was a fake. He was

423
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: getting all this social justice warrior approval from all these groups.

424
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: He used that to raise money for his various business ventures,

425
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: and then he had this weird affectation. You know, he'd

426
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: walk around with the bushy hair, parish shorts, a hoodie

427
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: and sneakers, and he'd show up as business conferences with

428
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: guys in suits. Well, he's really in trouble because he

429
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: sent out a series of tweets last week while these

430
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: reports of bankruptcy were looming, telling his customers that everything's fine,

431
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: your assets are safe. Then he later deleted to those tweets.

432
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: But that'll get you in trouble. Authorities have to show

433
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: the intended to mislead customers when he wrote those tweets.

434
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: Intent can be hard to prove, However, this could be

435
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: part of the pile of evidence against this guy, along

436
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: with these reports that he's been funneling money to other

437
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: people other people's ventures. He It's rumored that he wanted

438
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: to go to Dubai because there's no extra extraditionalis there

439
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: back to America? So the Bahamian officials are keeping a

440
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: watch on him in his polycuel. You know. Forbes and

441
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: Fortune magazine put him on the cover. Fortune Magazine's headline

442
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: was the next Warren Buffett. Oh, but Buffett said that

443
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: the whole cryptocurrency field draws in a lot of charlatans. Yeah,

444
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people think it's just a pyramid scheme.

445
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: And he says it will come to a bad end. Now,

446
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: he got Tom Brady and just all bunching to do commercials,

447
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: Larry David to do commercials, and they've got a lot

448
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: of sports celebrities. Yes, yeah, And and he was he

449
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: was donating to all kinds of really cool democratic social

450
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: justice warrior causes. He had the whole woke crowd behind him,

451
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: and he was he was a complete fraud. He was

452
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: he was this this generation's Bernie made Off is what

453
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: he was. But people fall for it. Yeah, people fell

454
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: for it. Well, it looked like it was the next

455
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: new thing. I mean, they've been all over the place.

456
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: They've been sponsoring some sports groups, some sports teams, and

457
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: but but I've been I've talked to a number of people.

458
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: There's a few people I'm acquainted with who got into

459
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: crypto and I would say, well, what don't we do

460
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: with it? And they'd go into the I've got a

461
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: friend who worked in the crypto industry for a while,

462
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: and I just kept getting and I'd hit him with

463
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: like three four questions and you'd kind of get lost

464
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: in all this jargon. But he never explained, like, how

465
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: does a normal person use crypto? Like, what's its purpose?

466
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: It just exists as something right, and there's an arbitrary

467
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: value on it that seems to rise and fall like crazy,

468
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: But what is it? Why does it have any value

469
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: just because you say so, just because there's some other

470
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: idiot willing to buy it. That's kind of it. Yeah, yeah,

471
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: did you see that. Michael Lewis, one of our favorite authors,

472
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: embedded himself with the company. He's going to write a book.

473
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: He's not an investor in FTX, but he's been working

474
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: for months, six months. He's been embedded with the former CEO,

475
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: the Sam Bankman freed to reportedly write a book about

476
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: the rise and fall. Yeah, well that's gonna be one

477
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: of his classic books. I bet yeah, because this guy

478
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: is a complete phony, complete fraud. Steph Curry, Tom Brady,

479
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: and Brady's ex wife, Jel Bunchen, Yeah, have also been

480
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: linked to the company. I know they did commercials, but

481
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not they have money investment.

482
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: They've got they've got some kind of steak in the company.

483
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: Brady and his ex wife, Yeah, they had a steak

484
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: in the company. Oh so everybody, everybody's right. Curry was

485
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: made a global ambassador for FTX. A Golden State Warriors

486
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: announced today that they are ceasing any affiliation with with

487
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: they they they had the naming rights to the Miami

488
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: Heat Arena. Oh really yeah? Oh and uh, I don't

489
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: know if you noticed during the World Series all the

490
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: umpires were wearing FDx on their uniforms. No, I did

491
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: not see that. They all had they had a pouch

492
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: on their on their chest FDx. I remember looking at

493
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: that and it's like, what's the what's the FDx here?

494
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: And that's that's what it was. We got more covered up,

506
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: we told you earlier in the show that the witness

507
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: on the stand and the Harvey Weinstein trial is none

508
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: other starting today than Jennifer Newsom, Gavin Newsom's wife. The

509
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: testimony didn't begin until early this afternoon, and she started

510
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: off by breaking down in tears and talking about she

511
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: had to identify Weinstein in the courtroom and apparently she's

512
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: gone into some vivid details about the alleged rape that

513
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: Weinstein committed. We'll have more on this as we gather

514
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: more information tomorrow. And what we're really I have to

515
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: say it waiting to see is the cross examination from

516
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: this Weinstein lawyer. His name is Mark Worksman, and in

517
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: the opening statement he made it pretty clear he was

518
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: coming after Jennifer Newsom by calling her a bimbo. Well,

519
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: her celebrity is going to have a big impact on

520
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: the jury. If he can discredit her, that could decide

521
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: the case. Yes, there were four accusers, but she's the

522
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: most well known, right so people are going to be

523
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: very sympathetic to her. Yes, and again they're going to

524
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: claim that she sent an email when Gavin Newsom got

525
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: involved in his scandal involving in a fairy had and

526
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: she was asking of Weinstein for advice on how to

527
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: deal with the media crush. They're going to be like,

528
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: he sexually attacked you and you write to him asking

529
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: for advice. You know, It's it's funny. There's a whole

530
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: bunch of writers who are trying to spin away that question.

531
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: I notice and nobody really can in a convincing way.

532
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: You're you're supposed to just accept that this happens, well,

533
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: that that's what happens. Sometimes it's like I have read

534
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: that that there is a strange sort of mental process

535
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: that women go through that's difficult, and they can act

536
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: in ways that don't seem rational from the trauma of

537
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: the attack or something like that, right, I know, But

538
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: I it just doesn't it seem like if you were

539
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: sexually attacked by somebody, you wouldn't be asking them for

540
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: advice on anything. It would seem that to us. I mean,

541
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: but I'm a guy, so what do I know? But

542
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: I think worksman's hoping the one or two jurors I'm

543
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: not through them that I'm not saying invalidates your story,

544
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: but it's just not It just doesn't make sense. You know,

545
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: things need to make sense to a common person when

546
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: you're when you're running a trial and you know, constantly

547
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: just trying to do a reverse spin. I think leaves

548
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: most people staring, Yeah, this happened over the weekend, which

549
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: is I don't know how many people remember. In two

550
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: thousand and four, Steven Spielberg made a film called The

551
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: Terminal and it did star Tom Hanks about a guy

552
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: who lived at the airport. Remember that story, Yeah, I do.

553
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: That was inspired by a real person and his name

554
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: was Maharan Karimi Nessari and he has lived at Charles

555
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: de Gaul Airport just outside of Paris for eighteen years.

556
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: There really was a person that lived in an airport. Well,

557
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: he died. He apparently had a heart attack in the

558
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: airport's Terminal two f around a day they tried to save.

559
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: There's a photo of him. It does look like an

560
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: airport homeless encampment. He's got a little cart in front

561
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: of him, He's got his belongings behind the red couch.

562
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: He's sitting in like one of those little lounge areas

563
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: at the airport. He had lost some kind of paperwork that, yes,

564
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: that would allow him to emigrate. Now, the real person

565
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: behind the fictional story lived in the Paris Airport's Terminal

566
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: one from nineteen eighty eight until two thousand and six.

567
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: Because this guy's lived in this airport for eighteen years.

568
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: But that would be the Tom Hanks movies about eighteen

569
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: years ago. But yeah, you're right, says here. He became

570
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: a celebrity of sorts, sleeping on a red plastic bench,

571
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: making friends with airport workers. He would shower in the

572
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: staff facilities, read magazines. He told the Associated Press years ago.

573
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: Eventually I will leave the airport, but I'm still waiting

574
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: for a passport or a transit visa. That doesn't seem

575
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: even likely or possible. He was born in Iran. He

576
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: left Iran to study in England in nineteen seventy four.

577
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: He was imprisoned when he returned home for protesting against

578
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: the Shah. He was expelled without a passport. He applied

579
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: for asylum, was granted it in Belgium, but the refugee

580
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: certificate was stolen at a Paris train station. He was

581
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 1: then arrested by French police and face deportation, but lacked

582
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: official documents, and he was sent to Charles de gaul

583
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: in August nineteen eighty eight. And he stayed there and

584
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: because of European immigration laws, they got strict and he

585
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: couldn't He had nowhere to go, and he couldn't go

586
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: back to Iran, and he couldn't go anywhere else, right,

587
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: so he was stuck in this kind of and I

588
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: guess he had no money because he needed some kind

589
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: of a lawyer. All right, we've got Tim Kangdong. Let's roll,

590
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: let's go. Jay Leno got burned over the weekend. That's

591
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: bad news, right, yeah, fire in one of his cars,

592
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: I guess. So, yeah, that's why I don't have a

593
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: hobby that deals with combustible engines. Right, Like at the track,

594
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: you never get burned like that, that's right, Yeah, you could.

595
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: I got to convince him to stop with the cars.

596
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: Stop stop the car. Also, Amazon's laying off a bunch

597
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: bunch of people. That's no good. And one person was

598
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: killed in a in a traffic accent pH and Cane

599
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: and Dune if you're familiar with that area. People come

600
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: racing down Cane and Dune and they can't make that

601
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: left or right on PCH and they smash right into

602
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: that mountain. And man, it happens like every couple weeks

603
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: somebody gets an accident there. Horrible. They come, they come right,

604
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: they come down to down to Canaan Dune and then

605
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: you got to make the left or right on PC

606
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: and if you don't, you go right into a mountain. Man.

607
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,680
