1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the air from one

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: in two four after four o'clock Johnny Can on demand.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: It's the podcast same as the show. Whatever you missed

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: you could pick up.

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Then.

8
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna talk now with Corbyn, Carson Caffine News.

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: You remember that some weeks back they instituted zero bail

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles just to make things safer. Samantha Jessner

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: is the presiding judge in the Ali County Superior Court.

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: She's in charge of this policy. She held a virtual

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: news conference with some other court officials to explain what's.

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: Been going on with zero bail. Corbyn tell us.

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, the big takeaway is they looked at the

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: first three weeks of how this system is working, and

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: their determination is it's exactly working exactly the way it

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: was intended. And most notably, the report the court says

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: found less than three percent of people who were who

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: had been booked on suspicion of a crime were subsequently

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: re arrested and booked again during that first three weeks

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: of this pre arraignment release Protocols Program or PARP system.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: And here is Samantha Presiding Judge Samantha Jessner, explaining how

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: this thing went based.

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: Upon widely circulating misinformation. We are taking this opportunity today

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: to address these inaccurate and false statements and will continue

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: to do so. First, the idea that law enforcement is

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: hamstrung by the PARPs and forced to cash and release

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: individuals is false. The truth is nothing in the parts

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: prevents law enforcement from booking individuals at their own discretion.

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: The law has provided law enforcement with this tool for decades. Similarly,

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: the practice of law enforcement citing and releasing arrestees they

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: evaluate as low risk.

34
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: So basically, what she's saying, the new system is working

35
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: exactly the way it was intended. That the vast majority

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: of those determined by a magistrate to be a significant

37
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: risk were held. And really one of the other big

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: takeaways is that they're saying only about thirty percent of

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 3: that five thousand cases were affected in any way.

40
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: I expected nothing less.

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: I didn't think they were going to hold a press

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: conference and say this is a disaster.

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Right.

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: The thing about this is, and I don't know if

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: this ever gets addressed. There was a story I wanted

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: to get to it about the Alameda County DA and

47
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: she had her car busted into, all the windows were

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: smashed up in the Oakland area, laptops stolen, and she's

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: now complaining that she called the police and waited for

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: an hour, nobody showed up, and then they told her

51
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: to report the crime online. And a lot of people

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: talk about that and often they don't bother So there's

53
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: no accurate way to use crime statistics or their records

54
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: to indicate the effect that these zero bay laws are

55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: having on our life because they the police don't even

56
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: show up anymore to document the crimes, and some people stop.

57
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: I mean, store owners do that all the time. So

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: I did anybody bring that up at the press conference?

59
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: So one of the things that was talked about often

60
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: was how much power police have as to whether or

61
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: not police still have as to whether or not they're

62
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: able to catch and release people. So if you get

63
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: a crime like that, y cops wouldn't be showing up,

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: at least according to the court. They're saying that this

65
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: is entirely still within the police officer's discretion. If they

66
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: don't want to collect, catch and release someone, they don't

67
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: have to. Here's another inch sting thought from the from

68
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: the court people, exactly how the system is working.

69
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: The notion that law enforcement has no authority to elevate

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: offenses to be reviewed by a magistrate judge is false.

71
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: The truth is the parts include a process called bail deviation,

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: in which law enforcement may request review by a magistrate

73
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: judge if they have facts that would suggest the individual

74
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: is an enhance risk to public or victim safety or

75
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 4: will not show up to court. This process existed under

76
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: the old fail system, though it was rarely used, and

77
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 4: it continues to exist in the new system.

78
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: So basically saying that go ahead.

79
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: No, you've played two clips where they're saying, well, nothing's

80
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: really changed. Well if nothing's really changed, then why did

81
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: they change it? Why was it so balllyhooed about this

82
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: great change? See, I there's propaganda here. This isn't adding up.

83
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: They'll the press conference to talk about the changes since

84
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: they implemented the policy.

85
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Oh, there really isn't changes.

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: You know, we've had these policies all along.

87
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 3: Basically, their argument is that the cash being the only

88
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 3: way you're being served to justice is what they're trying

89
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: to change, and that in a non violent offense. A

90
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: person that is being picked up and then put into

91
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: a bail system is unfair for a person who just

92
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: happens to have money and then they can get out

93
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: for the same crime with no risk being assessed that.

94
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: Look, you could come up with a bail system that

95
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: adjusts for people's incomes. And the truth is is that

96
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: wealthy people aren't knocking over liquor stores in seven elevens,

97
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: So you know that that's one of those red herrings.

98
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: That's an irrelevancy. Right, Wealthy people commit wealthy people crimes.

99
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: They steal in their own unique ways. But most of

100
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: the people who are stealing from a seven to eleven

101
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: or they're going crazy filling up shopping carts that are well,

102
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 2: of course, they don't have money. This is their job,

103
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 2: this is their profession. They're not doing this because they're

104
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: desperately poor. They're doing this because it's a good living. See,

105
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, you give it over to a fence, and

106
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: the fence pays you the money, and then they resell

107
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: the goods and everybody does well. I mean I find

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: them and and and her by boy says Samantha, Just

109
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: how do you say her name? Jester Jesner. That's a

110
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: pretty smug attitude she had addressing everyone. It's like, well,

111
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot of misinformation going around, and I'm gonna

112
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: set the record straight. I flat out don't trust any

113
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: of these people or believe any of these people.

114
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to agree with me. I'm just

115
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: going off, no, no, no.

116
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: I understand what you're saying. And another I just want

117
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: to point back to that that that law enforcement power

118
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: part is here was a small part that would be

119
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: interesting to any other law enforcement that are out there,

120
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: because that was one buried detail that they were saying.

121
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: They wanted to get the message out there that there's

122
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: this other tool that law enforcement can have. It's they're saying,

123
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: it's a one minute call that they can call and

124
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: ask a magistrate judge to say, hey.

125
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: This person that falls under their.

126
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 3: Catch and release criteria is is a risk and I'd

127
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: like them to have their situation looked at. And they

128
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: also said that police have the power to book people

129
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: however they would like, and then it becomes up to

130
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: prosecutors to then ask for what type of bail system

131
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: they would like.

132
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: I hear you're just reporting what they're telling you what

133
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm what I would say to them if I could

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: get a hold of them, is then explain to me

135
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: why even the caliph, even the Almena County District Attorney

136
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: Pamela Price, couldn't get a cop to show up and

137
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: she could report about her car being busted in and

138
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: her laptop stolen. Because I think the police are under

139
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: pressure not even to show let alone to make a

140
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: call to a magistrate.

141
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: They know what the score is.

142
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: They get plenty of pressure, and a lot of a

143
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: lot of it is unwritten pressure to like, don't make waves.

144
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: I imagine if a cop suddenly tripled or quadrupled, then

145
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: imber of magistrate calls that he made, what would happen

146
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: to him? What kind of discipline? He'd get a bad

147
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: phone call, He'd get a bad email the next day.

148
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: So this is to put a number to that, To

149
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: put a number to that, only one hundred and thirty,

150
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: around one hundred and thirty five out of that five

151
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: thousand cases did someone did a law enforcement officer call

152
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: to ask for that extra extra review.

153
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: One hundred and thirty out of five thousand. Ye see,

154
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: that's why I flat out don't believe her, and I

155
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: don't believe any of the people that you probably had

156
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: to endure today. I just flat out don't believe it.

157
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: We might as well have gone to Moscow for the

158
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: Price conference. All right, Corbyn, thanks very much, good work,

159
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, sir. I appreciate it. I don't

160
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: hold you responsible. All right, when we come back, I'll

161
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: talk more about Pamela Price, the Alameda County District Attorney. Okay,

162
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: this is the real world. This is not Samantha Jessner's

163
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: world of propaganda with their fake statistics and their their

164
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: their irrelevancies, red herrings. They're dodges. That's next coming up

165
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: on the John and Ken Show.

166
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

167
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

168
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Let's go back to Corbyn Carson's report from the last

169
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 2: segment virtual news conference by Samantha Jessner, the presiding judge

170
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: of the La County Superior Court. The zero bail system

171
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: is her baby, and she came out very arrogantly and

172
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: smugly said, despite all the critics and the misinformation, the

173
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: false information, that there's only a three percent arrest rate

174
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: among those who were given zero bail. And my first

175
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: question is well, considering that thieves have cart blanch these

176
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: days between the local police departments. I mean, Michael Moore

177
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: is not interested in enforcing the law anymore as LA

178
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: County chief. LA PD Chief Gascone is not interested in prosecuting.

179
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: Sir Anthony Jesner is not interested in bail. How could

180
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: you possibly account for the number of crimes that are

181
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: going on? And I'll give you a perfect example and

182
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: you'll see how this all fits together. Up in Alameda County,

183
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: they've got a DA who's nuttier than gascon Pamela Price.

184
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: She has seen a lot of prosecutors quit on her.

185
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: She's only been there eleven months. She had her laptop

186
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: stolen from a county vehicle parked outside the Alameda County

187
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: Family Justice Center. Now there's so much irony in this story,

188
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna choke. First of all, Price had a bodyguard. Okay,

189
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: So the woman who lets criminals out for a living

190
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: without punishment.

191
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,239
Speaker 1: Has a bodyguard. The bodyguard's job.

192
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: Is to park the ninety thousand dollars taxpayer paid suv

193
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: while she attends a domestic violence event at the center.

194
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: So she's not even prosecuting anybody. She's doing one of

195
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: those pr photo ops to show her support. Ninety thousand

196
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: dollars suv drops her off. She goes inside and I

197
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: guess well, the bodyguard's in charge of protecting her body,

198
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: not the car. Because when she came back to the vehicle,

199
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: windows were smashed, items stolen, including her work laptop.

200
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: The police were called. They did not show up. She waited.

201
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: Get this the Alameda County DA and this is where

202
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: Oakland is.

203
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: She waited for a fuel me police not showing up.

204
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Huh well, why should they show up.

205
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: It's not like price would prosecute the guy who stole

206
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: her laptop and smashed her car. Righth excuse me, not

207
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: her car, the ninety thousand dollars taxpayer paid suv. She

208
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: waits at the at the scene for an hour before

209
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: giving up and reporting the incident online. That's according to

210
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: a source in the Oakland Police Department. So you're supposed

211
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: to you so your car gets smashed, you have your

212
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: laptop stolen, cops don't show you, report it online. They're

213
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: never gonna find the guy. So how does somebody like

214
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: Samantha Jeser know this is not a no bail criminal?

215
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 2: So when she trots out, when Jester trots at her

216
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 2: fake statistics about the rearrest rate. Well, the Oakland police

217
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 2: are not rearresting many people because they don't even show

218
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: up anymore for crimes, Not even if you're the Oakland County,

219
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: the Alameda County District Attorney, even she doesn't get a

220
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: cop showing up. Well, you think any of us are

221
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: going to get a cop showing up if the DA can't. So,

222
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: of course they're not going to find too many of

223
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: the zero bail criminals getting rearrested. And like Corbin said,

224
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: the cops have only called one hundred some odd times

225
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: out of five thousand crimes called a magistrate to try

226
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: to get real bail. The cops know what to do

227
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: and what not to do. This is all a scam.

228
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: Pamela Price is a graduate of Yale and Le's Bolts

229
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: Law School, Aaron Scherreminsky's Law school, where he's deemed where

230
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: he's in a state of shock overall the diversity insanity

231
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: going on. She won in November last November with fifty

232
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: three percent of the vote. She had promised to disrupt

233
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Alameda County's prosecution conventions. They're the normal way of doing business. Well,

234
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: Now she got a bit disrupted, didn't she. But again

235
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: it's her taxpayer paid car. She had promised she had

236
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: written a memo to bring back balance to sentencing and

237
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: reduce recidivism. See, I that is such insanity.

238
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: If you.

239
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: If you reduce sentencing, you're going to get more recidivism.

240
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: If you don't, if you release them on zero bail,

241
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: you're going to get more crimes. But the key here

242
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: is the police aren't allowed to show up at the

243
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: crimes anymore, and a lot of people then won't bother

244
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: to go online and so the crime is not recorded

245
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: and they're not gonna catch the guy anyway. So there's

246
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: no rearrest, there's no recidivism anymore. Say no words, there're

247
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: no bail policies work. See they're low sentencing policy works.

248
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: I mean, but again, hey, the public votes for these people.

249
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Right, she got.

250
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: Fifty three percent of the vote. It's like Gascon. I

251
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: think he got like fifty six percent of the vote. Well,

252
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: this is what you're gonna get. You're gonna get your

253
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: car bashed in and your laptop stolen, and you're going

254
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: to call the police.

255
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: And they won't show up, and you'll.

256
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: Be forced to fill out the report online and nobody

257
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: will read it and none ever catch the guy anyway,

258
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: and then there's no recidivism, there's no rearrest statistic. Perfect circle.

259
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: Mission accomplished. They won more coming up, John and Ken.

260
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

261
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 5: AM six forty on.

262
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: The radio one till four and then after for Johnny

263
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: can on demand. It's a podcast. Hey there, Debra, Hey there, John.

264
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: How's the vacation?

265
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 6: It was awesome?

266
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: It was yeah, it was.

267
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 6: It was really nice.

268
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: I had.

269
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: I had a really good time. I went to places

270
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 6: I've never been and I was fortunate enough to see

271
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 6: the beautiful fall leaves on the East coast.

272
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: All the different people don't know. She was supposed to

273
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: go to Israel and each Yea and Jordan.

274
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: Whoops, yeah, yeah.

275
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 6: That didn't happen. So we pivoted last minute since I

276
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 6: had the two weeks off, and we did a totally

277
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 6: different vacation. Also went to Canada and that was really cool.

278
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 6: I have never been to Toronto or Montreal or Quebec City,

279
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 6: so those were really fun places as well.

280
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: How much of you, as you were traveling was disappointed

281
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: in how much relieved that you didn't book the trip

282
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: a week earlier. Yeah, you could have still been there

283
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 2: in a buck or somewhere.

284
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: I know. And can you imagine if they found out

285
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 6: that I was a journalist too, Oh right, I would

286
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 6: be a hostage. And I don't sorry, John, I don't

287
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 6: think I would have been able to call into the show.

288
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: I think they would have returned you in about a

289
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: half an hour.

290
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, they probably told me to shut up. I

291
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 6: mean I've been told that before that I talked too much.

292
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 6: So maybe that's my secret weapon.

293
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: I think the other hostages would ask you to leave.

294
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 6: I would gladly say sure, send me home. I'm okay

295
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 6: with that.

296
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be a way out if if something

297
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: bad ever happened.

298
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the thing is, obviously, I don't

299
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 6: know when I'm ever going to go to Israel, when

300
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 6: it's really going to be safe to go to that

301
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 6: area again.

302
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: I could go on. These things can go on forever. Yeah,

303
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: I know, I know. But better better you're in Montreal.

304
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so at least, uh yeah, right right now.

305
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 6: It was a it was a better trip. It was

306
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 6: a better trip in terms of tasty. Yeah, it was

307
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 6: a little more peaceful.

308
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: You didn't run across any terraces or land mines or

309
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: no invasions.

310
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 6: No, it was nice. Yeah, although I have to say

311
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 6: I watched the news every single night, so I was

312
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 6: I was up to date. I couldn't believe all the

313
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 6: things that happened when I was gone. Oh my god,

314
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 6: it was crazy.

315
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: Did you see any process wherever you were at?

316
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 5: None?

317
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 6: Okay, no, not a single one.

318
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Nobody gets mad up in Canada.

319
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: Nobody after the French, that's right, somebody in VADs you

320
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: just surrender.

321
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, come on, inad take over. Here you go.

322
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: Can we make you something? Right now?

323
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: I can't believe this story. This is in the Washington Times,

324
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 2: and it actually drove me nuts. And we have you know,

325
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: the station has an account for most publications so we

326
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: can go online and company pays so we have access.

327
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: Because everybody charges now, right, all the newspapers and magazines charge.

328
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: This one the Washington Times. I guess we don't have

329
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: an account. And I kept running into a paywall and

330
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: it was making me nuts. And because of this headline,

331
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: federal office buildings are eighty percent vacant.

332
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Government audit fines. Do you believe this.

333
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, look at look at our place.

334
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 2: Yes, except we're paying for these eighty percent vacant buildings.

335
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: The Agriculture Department on any given day, ninety percent of

336
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: it it's empty. It's u town between Washington and Virginia. Well,

337
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: it's right at the gateway between the two. The Government

338
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: Accountability Office, the GAO, you may have heard of them,

339
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: survey two dozen federal agencies and found they averaged roughly

340
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: eighty percent vacancy rate, not a single agency top fifty percent.

341
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: Excess space has been a long standing challenge, but after

342
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 2: the lockdown, the employees demanded that they can stay home.

343
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: So the government, like iHeart.

344
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: Is paying for massive square footage it doesn't need anymore.

345
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: According to the acting director of the GAO, federal agencies

346
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: operated under a maximum telework posture. Boy, that's a complicated

347
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: way to say people are working from home. Maximum telework posture.

348
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

349
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: As the county emerges from the pandemic, federal government has

350
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: a unique opportunity to reconsider how much office space it needs.

351
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: But who are you going to give it to?

352
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: Because private companies have empty office space. Now, we probably

353
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: only need a fraction of the office buildings we have

354
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: in this country except the accept the differences. We're paying

355
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: for the federal ones. Like I said, so the bottom.

356
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 2: They looked at twenty four agencies. Here are the agencies

357
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: averaging nine percent of capacity. Department of Agriculture, Social Security Administration,

358
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: Office of Personnel Management.

359
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: We're not managing much, Small.

360
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 2: Business Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the

361
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: General Services Administration, which is the landlord for the government.

362
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: Then the next tier averaging a sixteen percent use rate

363
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: Partner of Education, Department of Transportation, Veteran Affairs EPA, NASA,

364
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 2: National Science Foundation. None of the agency's top fifty percent.

365
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: Six agencies average thirty six percent. Commerce Department, Justice, State Department, Treasury,

366
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 2: Homeland Security. Boy, they don't even show up at Homeland Security.

367
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 2: Two thirds of Homeland Security employees don't even come to

368
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: work anymore. How about this the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Two

369
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: thirds don't show up there either.

370
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 7: So we've got a two trillion dollar deficit and eighty

371
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 7: percent of the buildings are empty.

372
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 6: Ever going to come back? I mean, seriously, can you

373
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 6: imagine we get rid of all this space?

374
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 7: Right?

375
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 6: So we have smaller office space because so many people

376
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 6: are working from home and then employers say, you know what,

377
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 6: this is not working. Everybody needs to come back.

378
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 2: I don't think any place works well if most people

379
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: are working from home. It just doesn't. It's a lot

380
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: of subtle stuff. Everything takes too long because there's nobody

381
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: around to have a conversation with there make a decision yes, yeah.

382
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: So unfortunately, most of the employers don't have the guts

383
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: to say show up, you're fired. All the employees think

384
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 2: there are unlimited jobs out there. It's like, you know what,

385
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: let's see. I wouldn't want to hire people who don't

386
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: show up for work.

387
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 6: Right because you're doubting, you're you're doubting how much they

388
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 6: really care.

389
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't think they have what it takes. If you

390
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: constantly want to stay home, then you don't. You don't

391
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: really have the drive that I would want if I

392
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: were running a business. If I were running a business,

393
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: i'd want people to have a lot of drive. And

394
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: if you don't have to, there's nothing. There's nothing that

395
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 2: makes me nuttier than people who don't have drive, than

396
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: people who just like are are we sitting back? They

397
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: don't take initiative, they don't have the energy, they don't

398
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: have you know, a desire to accomplish stuff.

399
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: People without those qualities drive me next. I can't work

400
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: with them.

401
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: I can't even look at them. I don't want to

402
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: talk to them. You have a whole company like that.

403
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't do this. See you like you're nuts. You

404
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of driving.

405
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 6: I know, I know, I know. That's why you like me.

406
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 6: I know.

407
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: Well, no, we can. We'd bond over that.

408
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 6: I know we do.

409
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: Eric's the same way.

410
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 7: Yep.

411
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: We're filled with drive and energy here.

412
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 6: That's why we're all so successful.

413
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, that's how you get there? Did these people? They

414
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing. You're twenty eight now, and

415
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: if you don't have to drive, you're going to be

416
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: bitching and moaning at forty eight out. You're not making money? How,

417
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: you never advanced very far. I started knowing how when

418
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: I was fourteen.

419
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.

420
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 6: I started working when I was twelve. Honestly, I did

421
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 6: do the My uncle had a shoe store in downtown

422
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 6: Los Angeles.

423
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

424
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

425
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: Rather radio from one till four, and then after four

426
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: o'clock Johnny Can on demand on the podcast. Okay, you're

427
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: playing this cript clip. The funniest thing is the photo

428
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: and the video. But this is this is this is

429
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: pretty good. His name is Alex Rosen. He was in

430
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: Texas to see Hillary Clinton campaigning for a candidate, a congresswoman,

431
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: Sheila Jackson Lee, who's running for mayor in Houston. So

432
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 2: this guy shows up and he's fat guy. And I

433
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: know this because I've seen photos videos of him being

434
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: dragged out. And as they were carrying him away, they

435
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: pulled up his T shirt and that is a huge

436
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: belly there. That is a big mound of fat that

437
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: he had that was shaking and blubbering around or they

438
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: carried him out. Uh, it was not a dignified exit.

439
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: But here's the clip of him yelling at Hillary.

440
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 7: Then you want.

441
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: Somebody who's going to get up every day, husband.

442
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: She love candy.

443
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: So they grab him shirt walls up, exposing his belly mound,

444
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 2: and they take him out. Now, if he didn't hear it,

445
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: maybe play the clip again, because this is an excellent question.

446
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: Could you could you play the beginning of it again?

447
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 6: Then you want somebody who's going to get up every day?

448
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: Where Hillary?

449
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: Hey, Hillary, why does your husband visit Epstein Island twenty

450
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: six times. That is an excellent question that's never been explained,

451
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: never been answered, twenty six times. And this is from

452
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: the flight logs. This is from the manifest right where

453
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: they have all the passengers listed.

454
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: Twenty six trips to Epstein Island.

455
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: What are the odds Bill Clinton didn't partake in what

456
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: Epstein was serving there? And this is what's bizarre about

457
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: human beings. I'm sitting in the audience, I'd say, yeah,

458
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: that's right, what was he doing there?

459
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: Twenty six times? Instead, this whole crowd starts booing him.

460
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: Well, he wasn't covorting with girls like Epstein was, who

461
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: was sharing them with his friends? And we're talking Bill

462
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: Clinton here, right, And Hillary probably does the answer. She

463
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: didn't say anything, though, but.

464
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: Instead the crowd turns on turns on him. He's the

465
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: bad guy, right.

466
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: And then they started chanting for Shila Jackson Lee, who

467
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 2: is a complete nut. There was a story about her

468
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: a week or two ago about how she brates and

469
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: insults her staff, creating an unsafe space.

470
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: Mind you, but everything is nuts now.

471
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 2: Everything This I enjoyed today because we were ahead of

472
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: the curve on this Ken and I totally unrelated, but

473
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: I got a minute here. We've been telling you ever

474
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: since the law passed in California banning gas powered cars

475
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: as a twenty thirty five, can't sell him, still drive

476
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: him for now, can't sell them, that this was going

477
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: to be a disaster and everybody was going to have

478
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: to back away.

479
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: Now.

480
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: Earnings reports came out for a lot of major corporations

481
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: in the last few days last week or so, a

482
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: third quarter earning reports. And how it works is they

483
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: release their earnings, either they hit their target or they didn't,

484
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: they explain why, and they provide what's the term guidance

485
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: for the future. Right, every company tries to guide investors

486
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: that the next quarter is going to be good or

487
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 2: not so good, and that influences whether the stock is

488
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: sold or bought. So the guidance from the car companies

489
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: is most people are not buying electric vehicles, and they're

490
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: not going to buy electric vehicles.

491
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: People don't like.

492
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: Them, or people don't like what they've heard about them.

493
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: Ford has said this just in the last week, General Motors, Mercedes, Tesla,

494
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: they've all said sale are below expectations and they're gonna

495
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: stay below expectations and the increase has kind of plateaued.

496
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: It's still going up a bit, but the rate of

497
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: increase is slowing down for obvious reasons. Right, people are

498
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: trying these these electric vehicles. Word of mouth gets around.

499
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 2: It's like, this thing doesn't go that far. I can't

500
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: find a charging station. Well, that's really expensive. And by

501
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: the way, it would be even more expensive without the

502
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: government subsidies. That's a whole nother scam, which I'll get

503
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: to in a minute. But an economist, Steve Moore went

504
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: on Fox and said that he was on a business

505
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: show this morning and said that how many You have

506
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: to be pretty old to remember the Edsel. But back

507
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: in the nineteen fifties, Ford Motor Company had a car

508
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: called the Edsel. It was named after Henry Ford's son,

509
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: and as Stephen Moore said, this was going to be

510
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: the great car. This is the car everybody's gonna want

511
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: to buy. Ford made five hundred thousand of these new sedans.

512
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: But guess what, nobody bothered to ask consumers whether they

513
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: wanted the car. The Edseel was one of the great

514
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: flops of all times. And he says that these trends

515
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: continue We're going to see the EV market become the

516
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: next big flop because car buyers don't want them.

517
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: And just last week.

518
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: Ford and GM said they're reevaluating their electric plans. There

519
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: is a price war. People don't want to buy them.

520
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: They're slashing prices. They can't build them because of supply

521
00:31:53,040 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: chain problems. It's Ford in the last quarter posted a

522
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: loss of one point three billion dollars in its EV division,

523
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: one point three billion. That was worse than the previous

524
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: quarter one point eight billion. General Motors saw its quarterly

525
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: profit reduced by one and a half billion because of

526
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: EV problems. And what's going to happen next is the

527
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: government is going to bail out these companies because the

528
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: Biden administration is drunk on this EV media and they

529
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: can't afford They've invested so much to try to please

530
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: their green energy fanatics that are a big chunk of

531
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: the party. They can't back out. So they're going to

532
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: give Ford and GM. It is feared these big bailouts

533
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: because these companies can't keep lose over a billion dollars

534
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: every quarter, not a year, every quarter. So it's all right,

535
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: we'll give them a bailout. We'll get more subsidies so

536
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: they can keep cutting the price and cutting the price.

537
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: So now remember we're two trillion dollars in debt. We're

538
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 2: gonna be spending billions and billions of dollars all the

539
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: car companies, so they could try to lower their prices

540
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: enough so we'll buy one of the stupid things. Of course,

541
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: I don't care if you gave me an EV for

542
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: a dollar. The range still stinks. I'm still I don't

543
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: have the time to charge it on the road for

544
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: two hours.

545
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm still not gonna buy it.

546
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: And it is not even an environmental positive. I read,

547
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: I read, just over the weekend, China has cornered ninety

548
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 2: percent of the market on the minerals, the rare earth

549
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: materials needed to build evs. EV batteries tep ninety percent

550
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: of the market. So you know, eventually they're gonna screw

551
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: us over the things a bust. Right now, it's not

552
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 2: gonna work. People are not gonna buy, and if they

553
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 2: do buy, they're gonna get stuck, and it's not gonna

554
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: help the environment. So this is a massive boondoggle, a disaster.

555
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: It's only gonna get worse. We're coming up. Oh yes,

556
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: We will get into the many, many, many errors that

557
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: the police officials up in Maine made and the military

558
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: officials up in Maine made that led to Robert Card

559
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: going on this killing spree, shooting eighteen people to death.

560
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: This is another one that should not have happened if

561
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 2: the people we pay with our tax money had done

562
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: just a minimally competent job. That's all I had John

563
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: and Ken's Show.

564
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: Hey, you've been listening to the John and Ken Show.
