Sea lions have 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 3: in getting violent, getting sick, they're getting poisoned and it 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: all has to do with toxic algae and that's what 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 3: Alex is going to explain here either. John, Yeah, I 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: thought you were going to say it was a five 22 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: year old toilet paper, and it was like disintegrating on 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 3: them that they just don't have any toilet paper. Well, 24 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: I think maybe it all disintegrated. I mean you might 25 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 3: be onto something that single ply and yeah, it just 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 3: kind of falls apart into the dust on them. Yeah, 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 3: the problem with the sea lions. So it's sea lions 28 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 3: and birds the other sea life that have been getting 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: really sick. But the sea lions are losing their minds. 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: And one surfer who was attacked about a week ago 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: says it was a demonic sea lion that near Oxnard, 32 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: came out him out of came at him out of nowhere. 33 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 2: And he was surfing and it came up on him. 34 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: He was not antagonizing it, he wasn't doing anything to it, 35 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: and began biting and attacking him like a shark would. 36 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: And then this week in Long Beach there was a 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: fifteen year old girl taking a swim test to be 38 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: a lifeguard cadet and she was attacked by what everybody 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: thought was a shark at the beginning, and Long Beach 40 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: Fire says that the lifeguards saw what they quickly determined 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: was a sea lion that had come full steam ahead 42 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: at her and began biting her arm and ripping it up, 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: and it was a sea lion attack. And this is 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: all because they're being poisoned by toxic algae, a bloom 45 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: that's floating in the waters off southern California from Ox 46 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 3: and are down to San Diego right now. Jenny Smith 47 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: is with the rescue program at SeaWorld. She says it's 48 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: a big problem, so. 49 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 4: It will affect California sea lions. It has affected dolphins, 50 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 4: common dolphins, and that's kind of what we're seeing off 51 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 4: our coastline here in San Diego. 52 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: So she's down San Diego. And as these animals eat 53 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: sardines and other fish that have eaten the toxic alga, 54 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: it turns into a neurological disorder for the sea lions 55 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: and they go nuts. And they're going nuts right now. 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 3: Many of brain swelling from the neurotoxin, and they can 57 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 3: be super aggressive. They can go after humans unprovoked, and 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 3: some are getting really sick. 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: It's like they're high and they've. 60 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: Got glossed over or glassed over eyes and they're just 61 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: staring off into space. 62 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 63 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: The clinical signs that we're seeing for these animals are seizures. 64 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: We're seeing them look start like they're stargazing. We're seeing 65 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 4: some animals seem very very sleepy, maybe right after having 66 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 4: a seizure. They may be abnormally aggressive. 67 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: So they've received about one hundred calls at Sea World 68 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: about this at their rescue center. Birds are dying too. 69 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: At a bird rescue center in the Long Beach area, 70 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: they say that they've been overwhelmed trying to nurse birds 71 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: back to health that have come in contact with either 72 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: fish or the toxic algae itself. 73 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 5: So we're seeing very severe disorientation, active seizures, the inability 74 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 5: to walk or fly, and a lot of them are 75 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 5: emaciated because they haven't been able to find food on 76 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 5: their own. 77 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: And they believe John the January's wildfires and the runoff 78 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: that it created all of this, that's where the algae 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: bloom is coming from, that all of the chemicals and 80 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: burned going into the ocean that it created the algae bloom. 81 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: And the rescue groups are trying to help these animals 82 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: by flushing the acid from their bodies, are giving the 83 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: sea lions anti seizure meds if they need it. But 84 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: on the human side of it, now in the last 85 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: week or so, two unprovoked attacks by sea lions from 86 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: people that are in the water. 87 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: So all the. 88 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: Washed out debris may have instigated this algae bloom. Yeah, 89 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 3: the ass and everything else going in the water, all 90 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: those chemicals and then kind of created this algae, and 91 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: then the algae creates this acid. It's called demoic acid. 92 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well I first looked at it, I thought it 93 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: was demonic acid. 94 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 3: No, no, those are the demonic sea lions, the demon 95 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: sea lions of this guy described the surfer.

Seventeen states, and they are not all Southern 241 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 3: Republican states either Democratic Northeast states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, 242 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: Rhode Island, they're selling gas for about two ninety seven each, 243 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: and then uh, New York is selling it for three twelve. 244 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 3: I mean, there's only three states selling for more than 245 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 3: four dollars a gallon, Washington, Hawaii, in California. In California 246 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: is now thirty three cents more expensive than Hawaii, which 247 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: is what three thousand miles out in the ocean. This 248 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 3: is just crazy, crazy nonsense for eighty five a gallon. 249 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 3: And why Newsom's head is not on a stick for this. 250 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: Weren't there riots in France over gas prizes a few 251 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: years ago? 252 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: The Yellow vest riots? 253 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: Right, yep, they were going to put in an artificial 254 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: tax because the idiot president was having another one of 255 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 3: those climate change spasms, and he was having a climate 256 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 3: change fit, and they jacked up the gas prices and 257 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 3: people started burning cars in the streets wearing yellow vests. 258 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: Just accept this. 259 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 6: And every year we hear the same excuse, the summer blend, 260 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 6: the gas refinery issues. It's the same story every year. 261 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: If they made, if they didn't make it impossible to 262 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: build refineries. We're down to eight. So if one refinery 263 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 3: has a problem, then yeah, you're gonna have a big 264 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 3: hit to the gas supply, which is going to drive 265 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: up the price. But we used to have I think 266 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 3: over forty refineries and. 267 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: Now we have eight. 268 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: Look at that four eighty five and I mean seventeen 269 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: states are under three dollars. And you people, this is 270 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: what I understand. And then you vote to raise the 271 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 3: price of gas when you voted to raise the sales 272 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,479 Speaker 3: tax in La County because there's a sales tax attached 273 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: to the gas price, so you actually and then I 274 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 3: constantly hear, well, I heard this the other day. Why 275 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 3: are people moving out of California? Well, the number one 276 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 3: reason is the cost of living you vote for the 277 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: high cost of living. 278 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: You do this, You know how many. 279 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: Votes you've made that has raised the cost of living, 280 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: starting with the gas prices, starting with the taxes, when 281 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: you vote for climate change nonsense, When you allow millions 282 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: of illegal aliens to come in. Oh, you know there's 283 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 3: a housing shortage. Well, of course there's a housing shortage. 284 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: There's four million people here illegally. They're living in homes. 285 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: If you didn't have four million people living here, that'd 286 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: be four million Americans or Californians who could live there, 287 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 3: and the price of real estate would be cheaper, the 288 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 3: price of homes would be cheaper. 289 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: It's supplying demand. We're overloaded with people who have no 290 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: legal right to be here, all right, it's the cost 291 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: of living. 292 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: You created this, Ah, some is responsible for much of this. 293 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 3: There was another set of articles in the paper today 294 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: about Newsom and his and his and his transgender views. 295 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 3: And it's amusing because he's really boxed himself. 296 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: Into a corner. 297 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 3: I'm gonna mention that later, and he's getting fired from 298 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: all sides right because he's a dumb cluck and he 299 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: contradicted his own policy and he should follow through on 300 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: it and change the law and not allow guys to 301 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: play in girls sports right because he said it's unfair. 302 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: But my point is, I have read like a dozen 303 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: articles on Newsom and transgender Why isn't there twenty five 304 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: articles on how Newsom created for eighty five a gallon 305 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 3: for the price of gas, among other things. That's Newsom's 306 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: gas price for eighty five. The other forty nine states 307 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: do not have Gavin Newsom as a governor, and their 308 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: gas is all is much cheaper. 309 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: In fact, I think. 310 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: We've got let's see one, one, two, three, four, five, six, 311 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: seven eight.

Well, 320 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: add that gas is conceivably going to be five dollars 321 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: and eighty cents a gallon. Within a few months, five eighty, 322 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 3: it's going to be three dollars more than it is 323 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 3: in Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and the rest three bucks 324 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: more a gallon. 325 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: It's going to be more than double. None of this 326 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: sticks to him, and. 327 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 3: Then I just it just hit me this morning as 328 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 3: I was reading this transgender thing. 329 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: It's like, wait a second. 330 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 3: This doesn't matter nearly as much as paying five or 331 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 3: six dollars a gallon in gas. 332 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 2: Where's the outrage. 333 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's like that clip you played 334 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 3: those men on the Street interviews the people who just 335 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 3: found out this sales tax is going up in Olla County. Oh, 336 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 3: there's really nothing you can do about it. 337 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: Yes, they're is, don't vote for the sales tax increase. God. 338 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 3: A few years ago, we were leading the charge to 339 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 3: repeal another gas tax they had passed. Knewsom ran this 340 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 3: lying campaign about the tax, and people voted against the repeal, 341 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 3: and then everybody bitches about nobody complains about the cost 342 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 3: of living more than people in California. It's like, look 343 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 3: in the mirror, it's you. You're doing this. It is 344 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 3: really great sport to blame Newsom, but he's only doing 345 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: what you let him. You could see he blows with 346 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 3: the wind. If the wind was blowing against gas price increases, 347 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 3: if people voted on gas prices, he would have repealed 348 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 3: half of these taxes by now. Because all he cares 349 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 3: about is, you know, moving on running for president. I 350 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 3: got to see him run for president on five bucks 351 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 3: a gallon. 352 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: I got it. 353 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: I mean that he's so deluded though he's going to 354 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: you'll have an excuse. 355 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 2: He'll have a reason he always does. Yeah. 356 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: Well, people, once you cross the California line, people don't 357 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: believe his excuses. This is this is some weird cult 358 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 3: bubble we're in. There's another thing in that story. Newsom 359 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 3: says he's been in a bubble. He's been in a bubble. Oh, 360 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: I gotta get to that. I got so much today. 361 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 2: Uh, I have an hour and a half. I know 362 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: I need more time.

The New Jersey Senator Corey Booker has 375 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 3: now been babbling for twenty two hours. 376 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: What a looney to him? 377 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 3: Twenty two hours He's giving a single speech on the 378 00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: floor of the Senate. 379 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: He won't shut up, he won't stop. 380 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 3: The other senators are trying to tackle him and drag 381 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: him away, and he's fought them off. 382 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: What an ego bag huh? 383 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 3: He thinks the world wants to hear this guy go 384 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: on for twenty two hours. See what do you think 385 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 3: it's about? You talk about Trump arrangement syndrome. It can 386 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 3: make you talk obsessively for twenty two hours and nobody cares. 387 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that later. Royal Oaks is with us. 388 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 3: What a nutty country we're in. So Luigi Mangioni was 389 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: the murderous lunatic who shot and killed the United Healthcare 390 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: CEO Brian Thompson. And now the Trump Attorney General, Pam 391 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 3: Bondi says they're going to go for the death penalty. 392 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: Let's get royal on here. 393 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, John, you know what happened his very first day 394 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: of Trump's administration of January twenty, he said, I'm going 395 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 1: to reinvigorate the federal death penalty. Because you remember Biden 396 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: in his final days in office, he commuted thirty seven 397 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: of the forty guys on federal death row. They are 398 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: now in there for life. He made exceptions for the 399 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 1: Boston bomber and the Bill and Rufe who shot up 400 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: that Charleston church, but basically there were no executions on 401 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: his watch. And following up on that lead, now the 402 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: Attorney General, as you say, is saying, okay, as to 403 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: this guy who allegedly shot the CEO, he is going 404 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: to be getting the deafinitely, even though New York State 405 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: court they're charging him with murder two but they don't 406 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: have the death penalty in New York, so worst he 407 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: can get there his life. But if he's convicted in 408 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: a separate federal trial, he could be executed. 409 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: So there's going to be two separate trials on this. Well, 410 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 3: I guess with the same evidenz and two slightly different results. 411 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: Right, And as we know from you know, police dramas 412 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: and courtroom drama, sometimes there's a turf battle. You know, 413 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: we're going to go first. He'll figure out who goes first. 414 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: But whatever happens when it comes to the federal trial, 415 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: and you know, they'd probably used basically the same evidence 416 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: as the state prosecutors. Whoever goes first, if they made 417 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: some mistakes and the second guy would be able to 418 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: take advantage of that. But the bottom line is, yes, 419 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: there's a separate opportunity in the federal case, and it's 420 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: because of two things. On the federal law. If you 421 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: kill somebody through use of a firearm, that can get 422 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: you lethal injection. If it's interstate stalking, which this allegedly was, 423 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: that could get you the death penalty. But you know, 424 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: basically we've gone for years and years with no executions. 425 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: Under Trump, we had thirteen executions in six months basically 426 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: the last six months of his first term. Before that, 427 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: we went seventeen years without any federal executions. But now 428 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: Trump is saying we're back in that business. 429 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 3: Have you seen the rantings of Karen Friedman Agniffelo, the 430 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 3: defense attorney for Louis Gimanjion. 431 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: She said, Oh no, I'm just sured he's hired some 432 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: higher high profile people. 433 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they're two separate things. First response was, while 434 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 3: claiming to protect against murder, the federal government moves to 435 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 3: commit the premeditated state sponsored murder of Luigi. By doing this, 436 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 3: they're defending the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that 437 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 3: continues to terrorize the American people. 438 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Complete metal patient. Now you look and you see the 439 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: defense fund is up over seven hundred and seventy five 440 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. And I think John, it's a combination of 441 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: the fact that the guy's kind of a hunk and 442 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: the fact that everybody hates their insurance companies. And you know, 443 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: these morons take these two factors into account and say, oh, yeah, 444 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: we're going to help this guy. Now, how you can 445 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: excuse executing somebody with a shot to the back of 446 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: the head and talk about premeditating. He wrote on his 447 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: shell casings. You'll remember deny, defend, and depose, meaning that's 448 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: what insurance companies do. They deny the claim that they 449 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: defend and the losses, and they take a deposition of 450 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: the people. I think John is going to boil down 451 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: to insanity. They're going to try to claim the guy 452 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: was a nut case and he was just there was 453 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: this irresistible impulse because otherwise, I mean, it's obviously premeditated 454 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: and he's obviously guilty. 455 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: Right he does it on video. Clearly it's planned. 456 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 3: It seems like she she somehow wants to put the 457 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: healthcare industry on trial and push the idea that Thompson 458 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: deserved it. But you can't really do that in the trial, 459 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: can you. 460 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: No, you can't. You can say in the trial, well, 461 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: he was nuts and the reason he did this is 462 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: because he was, you know, he had a debilitating back injury, 463 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: he was victimized by his own health insurance company, and 464 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: he had all these delusions and he thought it would 465 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: be a good idea to kill this man. And of 466 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: course we can't condone him killing somebody, but you can 467 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: understand how he was kind of out of his mind, 468 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: and ladies and gentlemen of the jury, if he was 469 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: out of his mind, you certainly are not going to 470 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: find him guilty. I remember the guy that shot Ronald Gregg, 471 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: and he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. 472 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: He planned it, he wanted to please Jodie Foster. This 473 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: guy had similar weirdo hallucinations. So I think that's going 474 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: to be his defense because again it was certainly premeditated. 475 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: Because if it goes to trial, she's going to have 476 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: to hope to get on one of these nullification nuts, 477 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 3: like maybe one of the group bees that's following MANGIONI 478 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 3: around get them on the jury to vote against conviction. 479 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: But that's a difficult thing to pull off. 480 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: Well, it's hard. But on the other hand, as we know, 481 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: it's got to be unanimous. First, the first part of 482 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: the trial is guilt, got to be twelve zero guilty 483 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: and a second trial sat jury. But the second half 484 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: is okay, you decided he was guilty, does he get 485 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: death or not. All it takes is one person who, 486 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: as you say, I mean this nullification deal is the judge. 487 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes the judges aren't even allowed to ask. Now, you know, 488 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: would you ever find somebody guilty and send them to 489 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: the chair or not? Instead, you just hope that people 490 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: are going to follow the law. But if you get 491 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: one person who doesn't believe in capital punished, or hates 492 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: the insurance industry so much, or think just thinks this 493 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: guy should be you know, on the Bachelor.

This is a corrupt web 500 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 3: of government dysfunction and one upsmanship. 501 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: Luigi is caught in a high stakes game of. 502 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 3: Tug of war between state and federal prosecutors, except the 503 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 3: trophy as a young man's life. 504 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: You know, she sounds as big a nutcase as anybody 505 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: coming down the pike, because if you're going to get 506 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: this guy off, you have to be a really sharp 507 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: defense lawyer, you know, deeply all this is the rules 508 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: about insanity. It sounds like she's an advocate. She just 509 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: loves to get into hyperbole, and who knows where she 510 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: is on the political spectrum. But I think he needs 511 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: a better lawyer than her. 512 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 3: All right, Royal Oaks, ABC News, thank you for coming on. 513 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 3: Do you bet when we returned, I do want to 514 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 3: talk about the federal workers. These people irritate me. I 515 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,239 Speaker 3: have very little sympathy for all the cuts that are 516 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 3: happening in Washington, d C. Because they're such whining babies. 517 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 3: They got five years to work out of their homes, 518 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 3: and you know they weren't working. It was a robe 519 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 3: and fuzzy slippers time. Now they're being forced back into 520 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 3: work and they're complaining that there wasn't toilet paper waiting 521 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 3: for them. 522 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 2: Really not making this up. 523 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 524 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 8: six forty. 525 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 3: We have Kate Sanchez coming on after three o'clock and 526 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: she's a Republican assembly woman from marnchas Santa Margarita, and 527 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 3: the Republicans are trying to wave the flag and say hey, 528 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom says it's deeply unfair that men and boys 529 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 3: are playing women's and girls' sports in college, high school, 530 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 3: elementary school. Deeply unfair. So the Assembly Republicans are saying, well, 531 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: then repeal the law that allows them to do that. 532 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 3: And Newsome is stuck and he's griping about it. 533 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: Now. 534 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 3: He made his own stew and he doesn't know what 535 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: to do and what to say, and everybody's mad at him. 536 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 3: So we'll talk all about it, starting with Kate Sanchez, 537 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 3: the assembly woman, coming up. All right, I've had it 538 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 3: up to here with federal workers whining and complaining and 539 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: protesting and squawking because. 540 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: They have to go to the office. She's just take 541 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: the buy out already. Just quit. What a bunch of 542 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: headaches these people are. 543 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: So The New York Times tries to do a sympathetic story. 544 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: Federal workers returning to offices have described logistical challenges, cramped conditions, 545 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 3: and short of basic supplies. What's this For Some federal employees, 546 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: returning to the office has meant an expansion of their 547 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 3: duties to include cleaning toilets and taking out the trash. Well, 548 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: weren't they doing this at home. It's not an expansion 549 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 3: of duties. It's no different than being at home clean 550 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 3: the toilet. 551 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: But it is their job requiring? Is that that in 552 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: the job description? Well it is now. They probably cut 553 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: the janitors. Well I wouldn't want to do that. Of 554 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: course you wouldn't. 555 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 6: If I. 556 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: If they come to me here at KFI, you have 557 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: people to do that. No, if they came. 558 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 6: To me, you're a KFI and they said, besides doing 559 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 6: what you're doing, you need to go clean the bathroom. 560 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 2: Sorry, John, I'm leaving here here. 561 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 3: They would tell you to clean the toilets while you're 562 00:29:52,760 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 3: doing the newscast, right, yeah, So apparently they they created 563 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 3: these changes so quickly that nobody in the Washington d C. 564 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 3: Offices was prepared to bring in a million workers toilets. 565 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 3: See that's the spirit, all right? Oh yeah, John l tell. 566 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 6: You to go clean in between when I'm on the 567 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 6: air doing newscasts, commercial breaks and whatnot. 568 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: You're going to go clean the toilets, not the men's room. 569 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 2: I'm not no. 570 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 3: The uh Trump hopes that these people quit by requiring 571 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: them to come to the office, he said, he hopes 572 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 3: it's a way that that they'll it'll it'll lead to 573 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 3: more government employees quitting. We think a very substantial number 574 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 3: of people will not show up to work, and therefore 575 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 3: our government will get smaller and more efficient. They didn't 576 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 3: have they didn't have workspaces for a lot of these workers. 577 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 3: And it turns out a lot of these workers are 578 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 3: now commuting to the office. But they're back to video conferencing, 579 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 3: just like they would be if they stayed at home. 580 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: Oh it says morales plummeted. Oh too bad. They've interviewed 581 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 3: dozens of federal workers and most of them would only 582 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 3: speak as long as they could remain anonymous, because they 583 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 3: don't want to lose their jobs. Well, if you don't 584 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 3: want to lose your job, your job now includes cleaning 585 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 3: the toilets. 586 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: I don't know what to say. 587 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 3: And apparently the toilets are a big problem because there 588 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 3: is a shortage of toilet paper in some buildings, which 589 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 3: is why. 590 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: They need to be cleaned. 591 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 3: Oh god, can you imagine no government workers. 592 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 2: It's time for a new job. 593 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 3: They're leaving waste all over the restrooms. They don't have 594 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 3: any toilet paper. They probably don't have a cleaning supplies either. 595 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 3: Oh my god, what what us? 596 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: Health hazard?
