What should we do 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: with all this wonderful time we're given every weekday afternoon night? 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: Let's wait, well, tell you what we're going to do today, 29 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: which we only do twice a year, probably not twice 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: a year, but at least once a year. It's the 31 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: Hour of Candidates at five o'clock. Tomorrow, June seventh is 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: California Primary Day. I see you in a story this 33 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: afternoon that nobody showed up for early voting turnouts very low. 34 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: I told you there's one near me that chooses just 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: a regular voting place on voting day. It's the first 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: time they've used it for early turnout. Every time I 37 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: go by, there's just two guys standing out front with 38 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: the little badges. Nothing to do. Government employees, dream job, 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: aren't they sometimes volunteers or I don't know who. I 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: don't know. I assume it used to be like the 41 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: old women would sit there, when they're just like neighborhood 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: went in, who volunteered to Yeah, I don't know, but 43 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: they're not going anywhere wherever, these guests, so it's not 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: really rousing people. But yeah, but this is a great 45 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: point to make because we complain about this every presidential 46 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: election year in November, when a lot more people turn out. 47 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: And these are the looky lose, these are the couch sitters, 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: these are they don't pay attention. This is why we 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: got some horrible propositions passed. This is why the legislature 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: in California pulled a fast one, and they've moved all 51 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: the ballot measures to November elections only, right and presidential 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: election years, because that's a good time to put all 53 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: their crap in there. They get the kind of uninformed 54 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: turnout they want. It's a lower average IQ and it's 55 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: a lower average amount of information. Yeah, these are just 56 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: druck voters who don't know anything and maybe a commercial 57 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: flips them or what somebody tells them, or because I 58 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: belong to that party, now the facts, how I have 59 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: to vote. The flip side of that problem is low 60 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: turnout elections can attract a lot of whack jobs and activists, 61 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: and they can have a disproportionate impact of what's going on. Yeah, 62 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: apparently that's that could happen with the city council. Where 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: as much as we hate the La City Council, there's 64 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: a couple of knockoffs of Alexandria Casio Cortez and what's 65 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: her name, Nitia Rahman apparently running for council seats, so 66 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: they may pull an upset. Our old friend gilsa deal 67 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: apparently is in trouble. So I can't I can't weep. 68 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: I can't feel sad about that. Where do you see 69 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: this woman that takes over this is believes in free rent. 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: That's hey, that's good material. I also look at it's like, well, 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: which candidates are going to provide us a lot of material? 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: So if you're running for anything, you get thirty seconds 73 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: at five oh five. We'll do this for as long 74 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: as there was Some callers can make it depend yeah, 75 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: but they'll usually you And I find something a little 76 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: fascinating about some of the people who are running for 77 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: weird offices called in could be really funny. Remember no committee, 78 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: no committee races, whatever those things were called yeah, there's 79 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: like some committee or Democratic Party, Republican Party committee. We 80 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: don't want that. But if you're actually running for local 81 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: city council, or you're running for even statewide office or 82 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, national office, Congress, I don't care. Hey, I 83 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: remember four years ago, Alex, we had a way of 84 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: it called in I don't remember that. Yeah, that's weird 85 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: because we did not endorse him. Well, it's stuck in 86 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: my head that he did call during the hour of 87 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: candidates and then he ended up winning. And I don't know, 88 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: I wondered, I'm missing a connection. No, I just well, yes, 89 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: I ah. And what did he say that flipped our audience? 90 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: Was all we knew about him back in twenty eighteen 91 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: was he wanted to keep immigration out of the jails, 92 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: and we didn't like that. And he admitted that. We 93 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: had him on the show a couple of weeks ago 94 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: when he said, yeah, the progressive like that, and but 95 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: that's all I told him. I don't know what they 96 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: thought I was going to do, but I told him 97 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: I would keep immigration out of the jails, and I've 98 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: kept that promise. No, no, if he said anything else, 99 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: no one paid attention to it. And he may not 100 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: have said anything else. He may not have, and so 101 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: I just struck me as odd considering that was his 102 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: big issue. Why was he calling us right but but 103 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: but that it actually was a signal that he's not 104 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: what you think he is. He may have been a 105 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: listener or someone told him that that's a good show 106 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: because these guys are probably more in line with who 107 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: you are, or maybe that's right. He may have already 108 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: had other ideas for what he was going to do. Yeah, 109 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: and that we might come use as sheriff. Homelessness and 110 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: crime has been his emphasis, and that's great because he's 111 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: the only one taken a stand that makes sense to 112 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: most people. Well, not going by the votes, but the 113 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: last El Segundo Times poll UC Berkeley has Bass at 114 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: thirty eight percent from Mayor and Rick Caruso at thirty two. Again, 115 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: the turnout is going to be incredibly small. Fifteen percent 116 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: say they're still undecided. But you know, like you always say, 117 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not these are going to 118 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: be actual voters or these are just people that said 119 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: they're going to vote. I don't I don't put much 120 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: stock into the poll because it's the La Times and 121 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: UC Berkeley, first of all, and you'll never convince me 122 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: there is in some kind of slant there. Secondly, polls 123 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: are notoriously unable to detect turnout. They just can't. They 124 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: have a formula to decide whether somebody's a likely voter 125 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: or not, and it's often wrong, and it's based on 126 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: what they say. Yeah, and it's or can you look 127 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: up someone's voting patterns and determine that they are a 128 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: likely voter because they voted in like the last ten elections? 129 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: They do they do you you can do that. I 130 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: don't know if they do do that, because that seems 131 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: like a lot of work. It does, but it's more 132 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: scientific than just saying, oh, you're likely to vote, thank you, 133 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: we'll check you off on that column. Yeah, my suspicions, BS, 134 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: that's worthless. I mean, at times there is a low 135 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: budget operation now and my suspicion is they just need 136 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: that that clickbait the day before an election, that they 137 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: have a poll and that they don't particularly care if 138 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: it's really accurate. And then finally, whatever it is, it's 139 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,559 Speaker 1: the real elections in November. We already know that Bass 140 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: and Cruso are going to be the top two in 141 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: some order within a few percentage points of each other, 142 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: most likely, unless the polling is way off. Well, the 143 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: buzz a couple of weeks ago was that Caruso was 144 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: going for the throat. He wanted to get fifty percent 145 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: plus one vote on tomorrow and that's it. Yeah, well 146 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: that's why I'm sending many, many millions. Now. I don't 147 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: know if that's why. I don't know if I trust 148 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: the polling. What I hear people people discussing is Caruso. 149 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't hear anybody discussed. Doesn't mean they wouldn't vote 150 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: for Bass, but carew so has captured the conversation. He's 151 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,119 Speaker 1: he's the he's the shiny new object that intrigues people, 152 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: and even if they're not naturally aligned with voting for 153 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: a guy like him. Now, for what it's worth, I 154 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: ran into one Bass supporter today who said, and this 155 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: is perfect. I don't like billionaires, So there you go. Yeah, 156 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: there's that I mean, which is silly. I know, I 157 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: don't know how many silly people we have and how 158 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: many of them are going to vote. And I know 159 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of like simpletons who think if 160 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: you're if you have made a lot of money, you're bad. 161 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: Or Trump made a lot of money, Therefore you're bad 162 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: because you're a billionaire like he is. You know, there 163 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: are those people and there's nothing you can do about him. 164 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing you can do with somebody who's stupid. 165 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: There really isn't. Now there's only really one candidate left 166 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: besides those two, and it's Delione. He's pulling below ten percent. 167 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: So you have to ask yourself, if it is these 168 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: two in the member, what will happen if she actually 169 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: comes out ahead of Caruso tomorrow and then she might 170 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: pick up billions eight percent in November. I maybe they'll 171 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: vote for Caruso. I don't know, but I mean, I 172 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: mean generally, and nothing is guaranteed. Generally, the undecided split 173 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: for the new thing in when there's tough times, like 174 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: when when it comes down to it, you know, we 175 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: gotta have a change, we gotta do something different, and 176 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: those are tough times. I don't know what it is. 177 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: I'll say people who are I mean, you couldn't get 178 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: more different than Caruso and Bass. So if you're really undecided, 179 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: it means Gan I don't know. He used to be 180 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: a Republican. He's a billionaire, he's a businessman. It's not 181 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: normally what i'd vote for, but god, things are really bad, 182 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: you know. And then in the end, and this is 183 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: the biggest election where this happened was forty years ago 184 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: when Reagan ran against Carter. They were very close within 185 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: the last ten days. But at that time, they had 186 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: double digit inflation, they had double digit interest rates, double 187 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: digit unemployment, they had the hostages being held in Iran, 188 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of people who ordinarily would not vote 189 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: for a guy like Reagan looked at what's going on, saying, 190 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, he's not normally my guy, but what 191 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: the hell, And the and the undecided vote broke heavily 192 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: for him in the last week and a half. Yeah, 193 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: so that was a surprise, you're right, but which which 194 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: kind of makes sense, I mean, but they were dismal times. Yeah, 195 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: well we got dismal times now, so we'll see, all 196 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: right again. The hour of candidates is at five oh five. 197 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: You can tell your friends or anybody else if you're 198 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: listening now and they're running. The number is one eight 199 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: hundred and five to zero one five, three four. You 200 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: get thirty seconds and you're kicked off the stage. That 201 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: does not include you're introducing yourself thirty seconds at a time. 202 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: You have to make your pitch when we come back 203 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: at figures. In this same poll, they ask people about 204 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: the police, specifically LAPD, and although the approval of the 205 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: LAPD dropped significantly, also significantly most people do not want 206 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: to cut the police at all in Los Angeles. A 207 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: strange sort of two different answers we'll talk about coming 208 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: up next, John and Ken show kfin. So, we were 209 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: just talking about this UC Berkeley Lsagundo Times polls about 210 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: a lot of things concerning tomorrow's vote, the June seventh primary, 211 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: mostly about the mayor's race. But the next thing that 212 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: came up that's really worth talking about is an all 213 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: deep but goody from twenty twenty defund the police. And 214 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: of course, as you know, Karen Bass's run from this issue, 215 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: pretending that she never supported defunding the police. How dare 216 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: people say that about her? But clearly she's on the 217 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: side that wants to reimagine policing is but the term 218 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: they use, now, why don't they stop doing it, is 219 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: defund It's reimagined. This is no time for your weird imagination. 220 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: Do what works, what's been proven to work. Well, they 221 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: had this idea that some of the nine one one 222 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: calls should be taken by social service and mental health workers, 223 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: but who can probably go there and defuse a situation 224 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: rather than pulling a gun and shooting somebody dead. So 225 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. Look, you know those those situations are 226 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: so rare, So God send out the mental health officers, now, 227 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: don't we have a huge mental health department, social services department. 228 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: Aren't those the people who screwed up investigating all the 229 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: little boys who got murdered by their mothers and boyfriends. 230 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: So here's what came out of this part of the 231 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: poll that was a little weird because the approval of 232 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: LAPD from these registered voters who were interviewed was down 233 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: to like thirty two percent. Now in two thousand and nine, 234 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: which isn't that long ago, it was seventy seven percent. 235 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,119 Speaker 1: So that's a dramatic drop in quote, the approval of LAPD. 236 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: It's a broad term, whatever that means. Well. Most also 237 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: felt that LAPD offices are tougher on black residents than 238 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: other Angelinos, and again black is filled with a capital B. Well, 239 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: if you asked me, right, yeah, if I approved of 240 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: the police right now, my first reaction is no, because 241 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: they're not enforcing the laws that they should be enforcing. Now. 242 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: I understand that their hands are tied by idiot carsetti, 243 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: but on a practical everyday level, when people call because 244 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: there are weirdos standing naked on their front lawn or 245 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: there's a homeless encampment and there's guys screaming in the streets, 246 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: they don't do anything about it, and that's really frustrating. 247 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: That's upsetting to me. It's like, well, why do I 248 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: know the police don't in our area, are rarely visible, 249 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: and there's a spree of you home burglaries and follow 250 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: home robberies and stolen cars and all that, and again 251 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: it's because lack of police. So you ask me on 252 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: any given day in the last couple of years, they say, now, 253 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm not happy with the police are doing their job. 254 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: They're not allowed to do their job. But still at 255 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: its bottom line, it's like, I don't feel good about 256 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: how the police are responding to the stuff in my life. 257 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: So you think this disapproval rating could be a mixture 258 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: of people who want to defund the police and people 259 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: who think that the police are does not being allowed 260 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: to do enough on crime and homelessness. Could be I 261 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: think so could explain some percentage from the lower approval ratings. 262 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, I see, I hear, and then I see, 263 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, on the various neighborhood apps, a lot of 264 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: people angry with the local police because they're not showing 265 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: up to do the job. And I don't know how 266 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: many realized that, you know, the mayor can can shut 267 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: down the police response and he has. You know, they 268 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: don't connect it with Garsetti. Garsetti's such an amorphous, bland 269 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: blob of a figure in people's life that they don't 270 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: they don't connect that, you know what, He's told the 271 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: police chief to stand down, he appoints the chief, he 272 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: can fire the chief, and everybody's everybody's at Garcetti's mercy here. 273 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: So despite the fact that they give the police a 274 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: low approval rating, I guess the second question was should 275 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: we reduce the department, and forty seven percent said no, 276 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,479 Speaker 1: the number of police officers in the city should be increased, 277 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: seventeen percent said keep it where it is, fifteen percent 278 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: or for lowering the number of officers just fifteen percent, 279 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: twenty percent had no opinion, and then they broke it 280 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: out by ages and ethnicities, and as you might have expected, 281 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: the largest percentage of any demographic that wants to reduce 282 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: the police force or black voters, but that was only 283 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: twenty seven percent. Forty six percent actually want to see 284 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: an increase in the number of police officers from that demographic. 285 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: There is a story over the weekend, I think the 286 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: New York Times or Washington Post that black voters in 287 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: cities on the East Coast want more police because they're 288 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: primarily the victims, and they don't know how this hole 289 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: to fund the police movement got any legs, because that's 290 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: the opposite of what normal people want in normal neighborhoods. Well, 291 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: ask yourself this, for every black family that feels like 292 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: the police harass their teenage sons, whether the sons are 293 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: in gangs or not, that they're all over them all 294 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: the time, suspecting them of being criminals, line that up 295 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: against the number of black families that have lost someone 296 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: to crime, to a shooting, whether it's a cousin some 297 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: other far relative. And I think the second group is 298 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: probably larger than the first group, which I think it 299 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: explains why when people are pulled they want to see 300 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: more police officers because they, well, we know this. You 301 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: usually cite the figures of how many times police officers 302 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: have actually shot an unarmed black person. It's really low 303 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: compared to black on black gang crime and other assorted 304 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: shootings of that kind, right, because I see a lot 305 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: of people have been pushed into looking at the world 306 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: through a certain prism dictated by activists and media, and 307 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: that prism is wildly distorted and it's not representative of 308 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: the reality. The problem is not the police. The problem 309 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: is other people. It's people shooting people, it's it's criminals 310 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 1: and victims, and somehow the police are getting blamed for 311 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: really a microscopic amount of bad behavior. I mean, I 312 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: I've got so you go. Next part of the poll, 313 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: which is actually kind of humorous, people were asked, do 314 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: you think la would be better off or worse off 315 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: if we moved money from LAPD to this amorphous social services. 316 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: That's what people were asked. Overall, forty nine percent did say, 317 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: these are the registered voters they interviewed, we'd be better 318 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: off moving money from LAPD to social services, whatever the 319 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: hell that means. Thirty three percent thought we'd be worse off. Well, 320 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: although when you break it down by you know, people 321 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: consider themselves really liberal. Oh my god, that was trucking 322 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: in the eighty six percent, we'd be better off. But 323 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, look at the moderate category, the somewhat conservative category, 324 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: the conservative category by far, people think the city would 325 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: be worse off if you just moved money from the 326 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: police department to social services. It's such it's such a 327 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: kind of a looded question question what is the social 328 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: services exactly? If we had these magic programs that could 329 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: make sure people don't commit crimes. I mean, this is 330 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: what I think Bass is saying this, and a couple 331 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: of candidates are saying this. We need more money into 332 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: prevention to prevent crime and to prevent homelessness. Tell me 333 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: what these magic programs are. Do you have them in 334 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: your in your bag there? Could you pull them out 335 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: and show me the statistics on how well they work 336 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: before we commit, Because it's the same problem we have 337 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: with homelessness. They're spending billions, they think on prevention and 338 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: also getting homeless people off the streets, and it's not working. 339 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: Well look at look at yeah, look at the billions 340 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: who spent just on homeless. Now, that's all kinds of 341 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: social workers. They are all kinds of programs, all kinds 342 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: of preventative and all kinds of let's do outreach and 343 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: let's give them rehab and treatment and this and that. 344 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: Total failure, absolute stink bomb of a failure. So what 345 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: let's hire more of who? Who are by the way, 346 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: what college is producing all these bright, intelligent, hardworking social workers. 347 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: Where are they coming from? You? We can see school 348 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: of social workers? Yeah? Is it is that? The is 349 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: that the big pipeline? Because you've got indicted. What I've 350 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: see is like, we're short in a lot of professions, right, 351 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: We're short doctors, mds, We're importing a lot of doctors 352 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: from overseas. We're short things were restaurant workers, we're short 353 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: on truck drivers. Do we have an overpopulation of social workers? 354 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: And they're all sitting at home waiting for some big, 355 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: gargantuan department to be built by the city of Los Angeles. 356 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 1: And they're all really I mean, look a look at 357 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: mental health and we've got all these mental patients on 358 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: the street. Where are all the mental health programs? I 359 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: don't think they even exist? And I think the ones 360 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: that exist don't work very well. If all this stuff worked, 361 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: then you wouldn't have the problems we're having. But there's 362 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: like this strange religious belief in social service, mental health programs, programs, programs. 363 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: What are they? What's your success rate? What's the metric, 364 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: what's the proof proof? And the final part of this poll, 365 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: this one's really the biggest hoot. Oh do you feel 366 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: safe or do you feel anxious? LA voters split closely 367 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: on whether the police makes them feel mostly safe or 368 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: mostly anxious. So I thought it for what they're asking 369 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: was right now, at the state of crime in Los Angeles, 370 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: do you feel safe or anxious? But it was all 371 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: about the police. Did the police make you feel safe? 372 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: Did the police make you feel anxious? Overall it was close. 373 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: It was forty one safe thirty six percent anxious. It's 374 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: also kind of a silly question. It depends on what 375 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: what what neighborhood they live into. Right there, young people 376 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: by far felt anxious because young people commit more of 377 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: the mayhem right, and and they live in poor neighborhoods. 378 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 1: But yeah, in LA that's particularly true. Sure, you're so 379 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna, you're you're you're gonna have a lot of 380 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: these West side lefty women who feel safe because you know, 381 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: they have their own armed security patrolling on their block 382 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: and they have iron fences and they have alarm systems 383 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: and they feel real safe. And um, they just watched 384 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: the news every night and and so you know, God forbid, 385 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: there's there's a bad police incident that that's what that's 386 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: what they obsessides like, oh, yeah, we got to do 387 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: something about the police. Look what they did last night 388 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: on the news. They're not fearful and anxious, but the 389 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: people in the poor neighborhoods, they're fearful and anxious of 390 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: the criminals and they want to see the police. There 391 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: is such a like a condescending, smug arrogant class of 392 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: people that live in la and they make a lot 393 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: of money and they're clueless help most of the most 394 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: of the public live and what they have to deal with. 395 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: But boy, god or they woke. One last note, apparently 396 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: two thirds of the voters who said they were immigrants 397 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: want to see the police force and increased two thirds. Yeah, well, right, 398 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: an immigrant from Guatemala named Dorley Francisco and doesn't say 399 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: whether this person is in the country legally illegally who 400 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: can't vote but pays taxes. I think that's a hint. 401 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Says crime has been on the rise in her neighborhood 402 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: and police are not around. They're not doing anything. So yeah, 403 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: and that might be why some people are unhappy. I 404 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: found the stat This is twenty twenty one, ten million 405 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: arrests in the United States. Police shot about six unarmed 406 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: black men in the entire country in twenty twenty one 407 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: six at ten million arrests versus the number of people 408 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: who were shot by other non police people, eight thousand 409 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: blacks were murdered, mostly by other blacks eight thousand to 410 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: six and sixty three cops were shot to death in 411 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: the country last year, sixty three cops. So all right, 412 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: So if you believe that the social workers and mental 413 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: health people can replace the police and stop black on 414 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: black shooting side, I don't know, have a go at it, 415 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: all right. When we come back on this lovely afternoon, 416 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: we'll go into Bidenville. Politico is a media outlet that 417 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: see kind of left leaning, So when you get a 418 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: story like this, you have to pay a little bit 419 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: of attention. Biden is seething. He is seething that his 420 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 1: approval rating is worse than Trump's. He doesn't understand it. 421 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: We'll get into the details of that coming up. And 422 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: they burnt his oatmeal this morning, John and Kent. We'd 423 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: like to formally welcome you to the rest home of 424 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: all Joe. Welcome to Bidenville.

There's a man on the 427 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: moon or whatever. You know something or you know whether 428 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: those aliens are here or not. I can't remember it anyway. 429 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: I commuted every single day for thirty six years as 430 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: president vice president United States. A lot of the folks 431 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: and Amtrak became my family. Not a joke that was 432 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: in the television of television. I was on the telephone. 433 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not supposed to take any questions, but 434 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: go ahead. I was the footsteen the foothills of the 435 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: Himlas with Shijing Pin for Secretary of Health and Educations 436 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: or I nominated Javier Buccaria. President Harris is a proud 437 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: Howard alone. That's Joe Brandon. I agree. I got them 438 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: one point nine jillion dollars release so far. Cleyptocracy, Yeah, 439 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: cryptocracy the clip the guys who are in a cleptocracy 440 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: and now to give you a tour of Bidenville before 441 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: your extended stay, ears John and Ken, John Coe Belt 442 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: and Ken Champo. Yea if I am six forty live 443 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I was just thinking back 444 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: to the last segment again. You mean a majority of people, 445 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: like two thirds disapprove of LAPD's performance, but a majority 446 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: want more of them on the streets. It's mind boggling 447 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: when you think about it. You want you want more 448 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: of what disconnects some people just have with reality. It's like, 449 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: did you realize you kind of gave two different answers 450 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: to the question. Well, I just think should be a 451 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: better police officer we should have on the street. It's 452 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: not necessarily reducing the number. Maybe we shouldn't have polling, Yeah, 453 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe maybe maybe, but people like polling 454 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: because it's kind of altcy. Maybe into the future, yes, 455 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: Foxy into how It's like people who like to have 456 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 1: radio callers. I want to you have to see your 457 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: phone's light up and see what the callers think. Well, sure, 458 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of entertainment, and that's why that's 459 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: why media outlets have polls because they probably get a 460 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: high hit rate. But you and I are not more informed. 461 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: After reading those polls this morning and talking about it 462 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: on the air here, we're not more informed. Neither of 463 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: the people listening to us. Everybody's kind of confused. Well 464 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: what does that mean? So again, what's the point of 465 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: these things? A lot of poles are just like stupid, 466 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: they're just cookbait. Now you mentioned also we were talking 467 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: about the Times poll with the mayor's race, you've brought 468 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: up Jimmy Carter against Ronald Reagan. Well, one of the 469 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: reasons we're in Bidenville is because the same thing is 470 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: happening with the same name, Jimmy Carter. How does that 471 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: happen twice in one hour on the John and Kenshew 472 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: as a guy hasn't been president with fifty years. Yeah, 473 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: Apparently Biden and his staffers are increasingly worried about his 474 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: approval numbers. Biden is seething that they're worse than Trump's, 475 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: and people inside the Biden administration inner circle are incredibly 476 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: worried that he is going to be another Jimmy Carter 477 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: limited to one term in office by soaring prices and 478 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: a fallen a foreign policy morass. I like that of Morass. 479 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: They're concerned and Trump, or rather Biden, wants to get 480 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: out there. He wants to be with the people. I 481 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: like to quote just let Biden be Biden. Well, i'd 482 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 1: like to see that. I think there was some of 483 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: that when he was running for president, when he had 484 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: those anger fits with the crowds. Remember that. I know 485 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: more of that. Those are in Hey, man, I'll come 486 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: down there and I'll show you. Yeah. I remember he 487 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: was challenging somebody to push ups. Yeah, so you want 488 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: to see more of his dementia on display? Is that 489 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: what you're saying? Do? I really am fascinated. It seems 490 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: like all these White House dweebs live in some alternate universe, 491 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: and so does Biden. They don't understand why he's why 492 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: he's unpopular, They really don't. They knew that he was 493 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: a placeholder, that it was all about beating Trump, and 494 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: this was the only guy we had on the bench 495 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: that could do it because he's been around. Then he 496 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: can get enough votes. But now they don't know what 497 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: to do because they're stuck with this guy and they 498 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: realize he's It was halfway out the door because he 499 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: was never very good, even when he was lucid. He 500 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: didn't make sense. But it was his attachment to Obama 501 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: that got him the right before votes. Yeah, I know, 502 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: but what did that attachment mean? Obama didn't respect him, 503 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: He wasn't a top Obama advised visceral to some people. Now, 504 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: think again, all the things that we're explaining, they just 505 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: you think I liked Obama, this was his VP. Yeah, 506 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: that's good enough for me. Well, if you're going to 507 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: vote on something that should that's not the first time 508 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: that's happened. What is that? Okay, if you're going to 509 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,239 Speaker 1: vote on something superficial, right, then you are going to 510 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: make a bad decision. And so I understand why people 511 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: do these things, but they're bad decisions because they're not 512 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: based on spending five minutes analyzing you never saw, you 513 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: never saw. Obama was tried to talk Biden out of 514 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: running the first time, told him not to put He 515 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: went for Hillary Clinton because he thought Biden was a loser. 516 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: He got to work with Biden for eight years in 517 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: the same room. He knew what we know now, the 518 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: guy's a loser. Well, I think he also thought he's 519 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: just not gonna win, And why did he think he 520 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't win Because he didn't think he could run a 521 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: campaign coherently. And it was just the fluke of Trump 522 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: and Bernie Sanders being the other choices at that time 523 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: that Biden came out. But nobody was voting affirmatively for Biden. 524 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: Nobody said, God, I've admired Joe all my life. You know, 525 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: he's always seemed like one of the smartest senators out there. 526 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: He was really a driving force behind Obama. Nobody ever 527 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: said that. It's like, first it's like geez, you know 528 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people were sick of Trump. And then 529 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: it was like Bernie Sanders like this this this this communist. Yes, 530 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: you can't have that because he well, Bernie wouldn't have 531 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: beaten Trump. I don't think so. No, So they had 532 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: to get behind somebody that they thought could have just 533 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: enough numbers. Sometimes Biden didn get an amazing number of votes. 534 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: If you believe the election he got me, yeah, because 535 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: there was seventy million. There's a Trump had a record 536 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: number of votes too. Yes, um, because everybody got got 537 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: stirred up by the emotion and the animosity. But that 538 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: wasn't anybody debating issues, and everybody's all freaked out about COVID, 539 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: so there really wasn't a lot of rational analysis going 540 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: on and from any quarter. So if you're if you're 541 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: gonna have you know, one hundred and fifty million people 542 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: not think rationally at the same time, well of course 543 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna get some some aborted mess of a decision. 544 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: So the plan apparently is to put Joe out there more. 545 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna be here in California this week. We'll talk 546 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: later on about the Silly Summit of the Americas. He's 547 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,239 Speaker 1: coming to downtown LA. The Convention Center is where most 548 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: of the meetings are, and he's going to be on 549 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel Live. That's very exciting on Wednesday, first time 550 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: since he was elected pres he'll be on the show. Somehow, 551 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: they believe that rather than doing something, just putting Biden 552 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: out there more will make people feel better about him. 553 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: I don't really get it, but that's not People are 554 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: not upset with him because he's not out there enough. 555 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: They're upset with him. That gas is six dollars and 556 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: thirty seven cents a gallon. That is that's that's what 557 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: people are upset about. They're upset about. And cheese and 558 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: everything else they buy is much higher price, right, everything, 559 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: everything seems to cost you know, ten twenty thirty percent 560 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: more than any supply chain problems that still persist. They 561 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: can't get things that they want. It wasn't like this 562 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: for many years. I don't remember ever having the supply 563 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: chain problems. I don't remember some high inflationary terms. These 564 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: are things that a lot of Americans are just have 565 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: not seen. No, and he doesn't seem to have any 566 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: idea what to do, and there's nothing. There's a lot 567 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: he made a lot of bad decisions too, and that 568 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: in a year half he made a lot of bad decisions. 569 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: He's completely choked off oil development and natural gas development. 570 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: You know, fine, be mister Green, but you have to 571 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: have a replacement. He doesn't have a replacement, and there's 572 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: not going to be a replacement. I can't wait in 573 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: the next few years when the reality comes crashing down 574 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: on all these woke heads that there is no replacement 575 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: right now for oil and gas. And you can just 576 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: shout louder and louder and keep trying to bully people 577 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: into living the way you want them to live. But 578 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: pretty soon everyone's going to realize at the moment there's 579 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: no replacement. We got to be drilling and pumping and 580 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: drilling and pumping. All right, We got more coming up, 581 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: John and Kenkfi, I don't forget. At five oh five, 582 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: will do what we do every now and then, the 583 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: hour of candidates. If you are running for any office 584 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: on the ballot, even if obscure. The only one we 585 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: don't allow is these committee positions party committee positions. That 586 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: one's an go. That'll be screened out. But if you're 587 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: running for anything, you get thirty seconds on the powerful 588 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: KAFI airwaves where we do have an audience in votes. 589 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: I think, so, don't you. I believe we do, or 590 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: at least as they do one eight hundred five to 591 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: zero one five three four will begin that at five 592 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: oh five. Or they like listening to how other people 593 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: though even if they don't do it themselves right, they're 594 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: voyeurs exactly, So that'll come up at three oh five. 595 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: We'll be at the George Gascone recall desk. A story 596 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: popped up late Friday into Saturday. You gotta hear, and 597 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: it's another example of George Gascone at the juvenile delinquent desk. 598 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: He believes if you're under eighteen, it almost doesn't matter 599 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: what you've done. You should get a very light sentence 600 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: and be right out there in the population as soon 601 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: as possible, because you're too young to understand what you did. 602 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: It's about another teenager. This one apparently clipped a mother 603 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 1: and her infant with his car. Fortunately they managed to 604 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: mostly get out of the way because before they could 605 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: have been severely hurt. A teenager that was already on probation. 606 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: Isn't that nice. So we'll get into the story. But 607 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: it involves the La County Sheriff's Department and our friend 608 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: Alex Vieteueva. Because cast Cones office tried to pretend that 609 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: via Aueva's Sheriff's department agreed with the light treatment of 610 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: the juvenile that got walked back on Saturday. They were 611 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: calling a lie. As the expression goes, walked back does 612 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: not mean to represent that the sheriff's department agreed. We lied, 613 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: and we got caught. So it's just another reason to 614 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: sign the recall petition. We'll get into it after three o'clock. 615 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: I was in Virginia this weekend where gas was about 616 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: four seventy. This story says that more and more states 617 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: are about to hit five dollars a gallon. Now you 618 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 1: can hold your laughter because we're approaching seven dollars a gallon. 619 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about the off stations already 620 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: charging eight. I understand there out there, but let's deal 621 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: with the averages. And the California average is six thirty 622 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 1: seven day. So that's what I meant, right, Everybody always 623 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: sent an email, look at this station eight dollars. Okay, 624 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: Well you don't have to be all there, and it's 625 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: not the average weae is what most people face every 626 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: day when they drive around. I mean, if you're going 627 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: to buy a watch, you don't have to go to 628 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: a whorl X store. The wild thing about this is 629 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: we've said this for years. People really pay attention to 630 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: gas prices because they're in your face all the time. 631 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: When you drive around you need gas, you look up, 632 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: you see the big sign, big digits. So that's why 633 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: Biden's in trouble, because you know, states that have never 634 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: seen anything close to five dollars a gallon are going 635 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: to give his party they heave ho. That's really all 636 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: there is to it. I think so. I think that's 637 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a major major point that people are gonna 638 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: be worked up if this does not slow down and 639 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: reverse buy November. Oh yeah, No, when they're angry, they're 640 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna blame it on someone or take it 641 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 1: out on someone. That's just human nature. And so these 642 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: politicians when they run, they tell us how what a 643 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: great world they're gonna create for us, a greater, strong economy, 644 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: lots of jobs, blah blah blah. And if if they have, 645 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: if their terms coincide with good economic times, they take 646 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: credit for it. It's like it's our policies, okay, and 647 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: they're willing to take credit for it. Often they've got 648 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. But that seems to be 649 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: the game that everybody plays, all right. The other side 650 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: of this game is all the numbers suck right now, 651 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: so you're a loser out. It might be of the 652 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: joke I've sent for it, Well, it's not a joke. 653 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: The opinion I've had for years about like our radio ratings, 654 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 1: whatever the ratings are great, it was a team effort, 655 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: John and Ken. You all did great. Right when the 656 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: rings are bad? What's wrong with you? John? And kenya. Um. 657 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: Something else I thought you might like to hear and 658 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: think about. I heard today on the news. We produce 659 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: about eighteen billion barrels of oil a day in the 660 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,280 Speaker 1: United States, but we export eight billion gallons. It's almost 661 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: forty percent of the total. Does that bother people that 662 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: we export forty percent of the oil produced in the country. Well, 663 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean it should be a free market where the 664 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: oil companies can do with what they want with the 665 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,919 Speaker 1: refining costs and decide to sell them where there's a 666 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: higher bidder right in another country. But I don't know. 667 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: Maybe some people think that they ought to keep our 668 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: oil supply at home since it's already a problem. Well, yeah, 669 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: that ought to be thought through here, because it does 670 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: seem kind of wacky to claim that there's not enough 671 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 1: oil and gas and that's why the prices are so high, 672 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: and then we're shipping out tons of it to other 673 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: countries that shouldn't sit well. Also, part of the problem 674 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: with the gas prices is the refineries. They've done enough 675 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: refinery space. There hasn't been a new major refinery built 676 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: in the United States since the nineteen seventies, and eleven 677 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: of them have closed over the years. So even when 678 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: they have all this oil and gas, they don't have 679 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: any place to turn the oil into gether as they 680 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: don't have a pipeline that runs from the south to 681 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: the west coast. You imagine a lot of the oil 682 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: and gas that they have in the Southeast ends up 683 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: getting shipped across one body of water or another to 684 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: customers elsewhere. It's it's very cumbersome and expensive to send 685 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: it here. Right. The more I read about this stuff, 686 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: the more it just seems like the whole system is 687 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: a hodgepodge of parts that don't fit together properly. And 688 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: the various administrations have made it very difficult to open 689 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: refineries and to drill for more oil and to process 690 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, the oil into the gas, to build natural 691 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: gas pipelines. The Washington has been in the way of 692 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: that for many, many years, and it's just getting worse 693 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 1: because of this. And we know the reason. It's because 694 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: they want to wean us off of oil and gas 695 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: because they think by doing that they'll just cut the 696 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: supply or look at the development. And all they've done 697 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: is make it more expensive and make us more reliant 698 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: on other countries. But we could produce all the oil 699 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: we need. We could refine all the gas we need here. 700 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: All the oil is under our ground, under us ground. 701 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: All the gas can be converted here. The natural gas 702 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: is under our ground here, or we can get a 703 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: lot from Canada, which is which is very easy. So 704 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: we are doing so many things that are wrong that 705 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,959 Speaker 1: we you know, when we finally hit a crisis point, 706 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: it blew up at our face because we've got a 707 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: bad system. All right, let me come back. We'll untangle 708 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: the latest debacle from George Gascoon in the La County DA. 709 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: Next Johnny Ken Show, Debramark has the news KFI AM 710 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: six forty.
