Speaker 1: four and tonight and tomorrow, we are going to talk

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: with Alex Stone from ABC News in just a few minutes,

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: because at this time yesterday it was very exciting. The

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court had voted six to three to let

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Texas at least temporarily go forward with a new law

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: that would allow them to arrest illegal aliens they catch

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: crossing the border. They have to be in the act

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: of crossing the border, and in Texas, the border means

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: the Rio Grande River, which is swimmable. A lot of

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: people wade across the river, and that is the main

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: way that illegal migrants were coming in, and so Texas

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: planned to have their law enforcement on the other side

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: of the river to arrest these people as soon as

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: they crossed and then give them several choices. They could

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: go to jail, or they could go back to Mexico,

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: and they couldn't stay. If they were going to stay,

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: they were going to go to jail. Now, it was

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: a temporary green light because the law is tied up

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: in the courts as to whether Texas as a state

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: can override a federal law. And common thinking was, well, no,

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: we can't. State law in immigration circumstances is always subordinate

27
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: to federal law, always, and that's the way the Supreme

28
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Court ruled all these years until yesterday. Well, it turns

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: out that that Supreme Court ruling was undone by a

30
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: court of appeal, which this is the part I don't understand.

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a good reason for it. But it

32
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: went back to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: they had a panel saying, well, no, we're temporarily spending

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the law injunction. So there was an injunction put in.

35
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Supreme Court udid that injunction, and then the appeals court

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: reapplied the injunction. Alex Stone, if he can't, we'll try

37
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: to explain this coming up and just well the next

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: segment right not to fifteen minutes, we'll talk about that

39
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: one thing I want to mention locally here. No, not

40
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: that story. The hell did the story go that I want. Oh,

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: I have in front of me here. This is important.

42
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: It's another judge. It's the US District Court Judge David O. Carter.

43
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: He is popped up frequently in the news over the

44
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: years regarding homeless lawsuits. He seems to get. He seems

45
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: to have the homeless beat on the federal court here

46
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. And as you know, the Los Angeles

47
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: Homeless Services Authority is the main agency that governs homelessness

48
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: in LA City and County. And it's a terrible agency.

49
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: It is one of the worst. They took in billions

50
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: of dollars from our extra taxes and blew the money

51
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and homelessness increased by any measure. The Los Angeles Homeless

52
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Services Authority is a complete failure. Now. It's known by

53
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: its acronym LASA LAHSA, and it is a loser of

54
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: an agency. And I remember one of the agency heads

55
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: a few years ago, his name was Peter something. When

56
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: it was his time to leave, he put out a

57
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: press release applauding himself, primarily for hiring so many people.

58
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: The theme of the press release was, look at all

59
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: the tax money I spent and look at all the

60
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: people I hired, didn't mention this, didn't mention that homelessness

61
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: had skyrocketed under his leadership, and it's still that way.

62
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who's running, It doesn't matter how much

63
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: money spent, how many people they hire. The money gets

64
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: blown away and there's more homeless people on the street.

65
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: So finally there is a group called LA Alliance for

66
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Human Rights. A lot of these are business there's a

67
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: lot of business entities that are part of this LA

68
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Alliance and they want the streets cleaned up. Let's look

69
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: at it. As the rational people left in the city

70
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: and they went to Judge Carter and said, can we

71
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: have an audit here? Where the hell is everybody's money going?

72
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: How could you spend billions and have the problem get

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: this much worse? How does this happen? And shockingly, there

74
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: apparently never is an audit of this stuff. So the

75
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: judge as now getting closer to sanctioning a court monitored,

76
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: independent audit of all the cities spending on homelessness. This

77
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: includes Karen Bass's stupid Inside Safe program and all her

78
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: bogus numbers and her lies. Because there was a settlement

79
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: between the city and LA Alliance for Human Rights and

80
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: LA committed to reducing homeless encampments, increasing shelter beds, setting

81
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: deadlights to track progress, and restoring the public spaces to

82
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: their original purposes, you know, sidewalks for us to walk on,

83
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: parks for us to play in. And of course they

84
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: haven't come close to creating a civilized atmosphere in Los Angeles.

85
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: They were supposed to create three thousand treatment beds for

86
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: individuals who are either crazy or addicted, and on and

87
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: on and on. All right, but none of this is done.

88
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: And Carter wants to know where'd all the money go?

89
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: What'd you spend it on? He said, six hundred million

90
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: dollars was given to the city. The city in turn

91
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: gave it to all these fake criminal nonprofits six hundred million.

92
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: There's hardly any documentation to explain where the six hundred

93
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: million dollars went. How is this crazy?

94
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: Or what.

95
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: Judge Carter said, We've encountered like a single invoice for

96
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty eight thousand dollars, no details on

97
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: the services provided. Guy who runs the nonprofit could have

98
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: taken at home. He could have bought a sports car,

99
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: a second home, traveled to Europe for a summer nobody knows,

100
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: and the court hearing is so serious that Karen Bass

101
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: actually showed up and so did the La City Council

102
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: President Paul Recorreon, and Karen Bass was doing her usual

103
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: smiling and promising routine that the city is going to publicize,

104
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: publicize all their spending reports, and everybody applauded. But you

105
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: hear this all the time from her, nothing ever changes.

106
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: There's also a lot of money from the last tax

107
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: increase Measure H was a sales tax increase. There's two

108
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: hundred and ten million dollars from that that is still unspent.

109
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: So that's uh, we'll see when the judge actually authorizes

110
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the audit. When we come back, we're going to talk

111
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: to Alex Stone from ABC News and why did the

112
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: appeals court put the new Texas immigration law on hold

113
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: after the Supreme Court in the United States gave it

114
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: the go ahead yesterday.

115
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: We'll see you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from

116
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty.

117
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: Well, yesterday at this time, we were telling you the

118
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Supreme Court had done something that shocked a lot of

119
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: people in the legal world and politics and the media.

120
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: They told Texas they could at least temporarily go ahead

121
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: with their law arresting illegal aliens who are waiting across

122
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: the Rio Grande River and entering the country illegally. And

123
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: then shortly thereafter last night an appeals court, Federal Appeals

124
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: Court said no, there's an injunction back in place. And

125
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: first client s she'd say, how does an appeals court

126
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: overrule Supreme Court? Well, Alex Stone is going to explain,

127
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: it's a little complicated. It is complicated. It's been a

128
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: lot of legal whiplash in last twenty four hours because

129
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court really did not rule on it. All

130
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: they did is say, you know what, we're not gonna

131
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: deal with this right now because the Fifth US Circuit

132
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: Court has not dealt with the merits of it, and

133
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: they bumped it back down to the Fifth Circuit. So

134
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court didn't rule on it in any way,

135
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: its direction, didn't hear the merits on it, didn't decide

136
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: on the merits of it. The headlines, you know, really

137
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: were that the Supreme Court allowed it to go in place.

138
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: It really said it's up to the Fifth Circuit. And

139
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: then the Fifth Circuit last night said no, that well,

140
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: it waits to hear the merits, that it's putting a

141
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: freeze on the law and that it won't go anywhere.

142
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: So it'll eventually probably go back to the Supreme Court

143
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: once the Fifth Circuit is done with it. But during

144
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: that several hour period from yesterday afternoon until maybe nine

145
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: o'clock last night, it was technically in place in Texas.

146
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: They didn't arrest anybody, there was nothing done under the law,

147
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: but it was in place before the Fifth Circuit said, nah,

148
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: you know what, until we can hear the merits, gohad

149
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: and freeze it. So today they held a zoom hearing

150
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: in the Fifth Circuit to decide should it remain on

151
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: hold while they wait to hear the merits and have

152
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: a trial on it. Texas argued in court.

153
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: This Texas has a right to defend itself.

154
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: But the federal government argued back, the federal government has

155
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: to have control over the immigration system, and that's kind

156
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: of the crux of the debate here. Historically, immigration law

157
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: has been a federal thing. States have not been permitted

158
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: to make their own immigration law. Arizona lost that fight

159
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve in a case that they had and

160
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court said no, that Arizona doesn't control immigration law.

161
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: The federal government does. But Texas is saying here that

162
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: it is a sovereign state has a right to secure

163
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: its border, that the Biden administration has admitted that it

164
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: is a crisis along the border and that things are

165
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: out of control. So they're saying they have the right

166
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: to protect their state. And a little while ago, Governor

167
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Greg Abbotts say.

168
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 5: But we finally got a law crafted, crafted in a

169
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 5: way to be able to withstand legal challenge, be able

170
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 5: to withstand the arguments that will be made, and that

171
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 5: is that. Well, the Texas law contradicts the Arizona decision

172
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 5: that was issued by the United States Supreme Court back

173
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 5: in twenty twelve.

174
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: So today in Court John, the appellate court judge is

175
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: they asked a couple of questions to Texas, and Texas

176
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: couldn't answer. They said, this is uncharted territory. One of

177
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: the questions it was, okay, so if somebody came through

178
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: the Canadian border, then drove through a bunch of states

179
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: ended up in Texas, would they still be violating SB

180
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: four if they didn't come through Mexico right into Texas.

181
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: And the lawyers for Texas, And we don't know that.

182
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: We don't know the answer to that yet. That a

183
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: lot of this we can't tell you at this point.

184
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: So it remains on hold. No decision came down from

185
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: the Fifth Circuit today, could be later today, could be

186
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: in the coming days. But SB four remains on ice

187
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: while the court decides should it be allowed in the meantime,

188
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: while they wait to hear the merits of it At

189
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: this point, no, but but they could change their mind.

190
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Could somebody send it back to the Supreme Court again? Well,

191
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: they can and they will when the Fifth Circuit decides

192
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: on it then whatever that is. So let's say it's

193
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: three years down the road where they've had a trial

194
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: and they've decided on it, then it'll go back to

195
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and one side or the other, the

196
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: losing side, we'll bring it to the Supreme Court. Until then,

197
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: it's a So now it's on hold. Yep, all right,

198
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: very good, thank you, Alex. You got it next John,

199
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: Alex Stone, ABC News And it's on hold again. All right?

200
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: When when we come back, Well, let me tell you

201
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: two o'clock. Alex Bensman, who works what's that? What did

202
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: I say? Oh? Todd Bensman, Sorry, Todd Bensman. He had

203
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: a piece in the New York Post today, and this

204
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: is the question that's being asked over and over again.

205
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: If Biden knows the terrorists are crossing the border, and

206
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: a number of people in his administration have admitted the

207
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: terrorists are crossing the border, then why doesn't he stop it?

208
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Bensman addresses that in the New York Post piece that

209
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: he wrote today, and we're gonna have Todd on Live

210
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: to talk about it. The John Cobelt showed.

211
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am

212
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: six forty.

213
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: On the radio one till four podcast after four o'clock

214
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: on the iHeart at John Cobelt Show on demand, same show,

215
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: but if you miss it, you can hear it back

216
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: after four. There is a story today that psychological researchers

217
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: in Finland have come up with a test to see

218
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: how woke you are, and then they found the more

219
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: woke you are, the more miserable you are. Simultaneously, a

220
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: story came out about people who are so worried about

221
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: the climate that they now go to group meetings at

222
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: climate cafes to talk about their psychological distress. It's like

223
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: climate support groups. I'm not making this up. The story

224
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: about the climate support groups reads like a comical parody.

225
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: But let me first give you this study. Now. It

226
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: was done in Finland among Finnish people, who are supposed

227
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: to be, you know, the happiest on the planet. They

228
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: always come out number one. And they found though, that

229
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: significant percentage of the population are angry and depressed. And

230
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: when you question them, it turns out they're very woke,

231
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: which makes them unhappy. And I have some apt ondot

232
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: anecdotal proof of this. A couple of my sons have

233
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: lived and gone to school up in the Bay Area,

234
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: and of course that is the center of book world,

235
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: and they said, it's true. A lot of people walk

236
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: around angry, surly, depressed. They're just unpleasant because they find

237
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: so many things to be upset about. They're constantly assaulted

238
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: with offensive behavior and microaggressions. And I mean, just breathing

239
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: the air upsets them, right, Just embracing the weather sends

240
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: them in a tizzy. So here's the research. First, psychological

241
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: researchers in Finland came up with this assessment, and they

242
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: identified seven truisms of woke people. And what they did

243
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: is they they they communicated these these seven truism seven sentences,

244
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: and you're supposed to say whether you agree or disagree

245
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: with them. Number one is if white people have on

246
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: average a higher level of income than black people, it

247
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: is because of racism, Right, you agree or disagree. Number two,

248
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: University reading lists should include fewer white or European authors.

249
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: Number three, microaggressions should be challenged often and actively. You

250
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: could see why these people would be a headache. Most

251
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: people don't even know they're committing microaggressions, and most people

252
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: don't care. They don't look at them that way. Trans

253
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: women who compete with women in sports are not helping

254
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: women's rights. We don't need to talk more about the

255
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: color of people's skin. A white person cannot understand how

256
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: a black person feels equally well as another black person.

257
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: And finally, a member of a privileged group can adopt

258
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: features or cultural elements. A member of a privileged group

259
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: can adopt features or cultural elements of a less privileged group. Okay,

260
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: and then you agree or disagree, and they give you

261
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: a score, and the higher you score, the more work

262
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: you are, more woke you are. And then they found

263
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: that those people are much more unhappy. The first study

264
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: included eight hundred and fifty people, and then they did

265
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: a test of five thousand more people and researchers found

266
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in people who

267
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: agreed with some of these statements. People who were identified

268
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: left wing, we're most likely to report lower mental well being.

269
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: Now again, my sons who are up in that area

270
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: told me, yeah, that's true. The left wing kids, the

271
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: left wing professors generally more miserable, unhappy on a daily basis.

272
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: They've always got something bugging them. So then comes to

273
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: climate cafe story. I swear I'm not making this up.

274
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: I know I say this all the time, but we're

275
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: just in an age where it seems half the news

276
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: you read it and it's like, oh, you got to

277
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: be kidding me. So, these climate anxiety groups are springing

278
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: up across the country, and according to the New York Times,

279
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: New York Times had two writers travel all over the

280
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 1: country because there's photos and everything here to document this.

281
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: And these groups allow people to talk through their emotions

282
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: around environmental change. For example, at a small room in Lawer, Manhattan.

283
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Oh this is precious, A group of eight New Yorkers

284
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: sat in a circle sharing kombucha. The hell is that

285
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: it's a drink? What's in it? It's like fermented something?

286
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: Is it? Hold on?

287
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: See, nobody knows.

288
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: No, I forgot. I haven't had any.

289
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: I've seen the word on labels, but whenever I ask

290
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: somebody what's cambucha, No, nobody knows. Well, they share campucha

291
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: and they share their climate fears. In Champagne, Illinois, a

292
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: psychotherapist facilitating a meeting held up a branch of golden rod.

293
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: The golden rod is a plant.

294
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 6: Well, Kombucha is a fermented drink made from tea, yeast, bacteria,

295
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 6: and sugar. Yum, and the ingredients work together to create probiotics.

296
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 6: That's those are the back that's the bacteria needed to

297
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 6: keep your gut healthy.

298
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: What is it a bottle of bacteria?

299
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 4: It's healthy bacteria.

300
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: It's healthy bacteria. Yum. What does that taste like? It

301
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: tastes like garbage. I'll tell you that I tried it.

302
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: I've tried it.

303
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: I tried it too.

304
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 6: It tastes like I don't love it, but I will

305
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 6: once in a while have some for the benefits.

306
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 4: For the benefits health benefits.

307
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: Can you tell the health benefits? No?

308
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: But I'm just.

309
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: Is it really expensive?

310
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: Well?

311
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 6: You know what, I haven't bought a bottle in a while.

312
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 6: Usually five to seven bucks probably.

313
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, for one bottle. There's some in the kitchen.

314
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: We can get some. Wait a second, five seven bucks

315
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: for a bottle of bacteria. Yeah, must be good bacteria.

316
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: All right. So at the other place in the Illinois,

317
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: the therapists hold up a branch of golden rod. Now

318
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: what what? Now?

319
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: What is that is that that I don't know?

320
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: Is that like the sage that you wave in the air?

321
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 4: No, golden rod?

322
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: Yes, And they ask the people to consider their connection

323
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: to nature. What is this?

324
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 6: It may act as a diuretic, so it flushes water

325
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 6: from the body.

326
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: So if you eat the golden rod, you start peeing uncontrollably.

327
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 4: It didn't say uncontrollably.

328
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: In Kansas City, they have a nonprofit that runs a

329
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: discussion group on zoom. Oh my god, can you imagine

330
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: be stuck on zoom with people who have climate anxiety?

331
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: Oh?

332
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: I want a recording this. It starts with a spiritual

333
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: reading and guided meditation, and then they break off into

334
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: topics to discuss the ethics of child bearing amidst a

335
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: fast rising global population and concerns of resource scarcity. There's

336
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: no scarcity of resources. How fat people are. There's plenty

337
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: of resources. Honestly, more than half the country's obese. What's

338
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: the scarcity here? It's a new movement called climate cafes.

339
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: These groups, in person and online, are places for people

340
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: to discuss their grief, fears, anxiety, and other emotions about

341
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: the climate crisis. Have you ever run into a person

342
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: like this? I'm sure they're on every corner in San Francisco,

343
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: says here. They're in Los Angeles. Oh, I gotta go.

344
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: I gotta find a climate cafe. Boy, we should do

345
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: a show for a climate cafe. Oh, that would be

346
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: a hoot.

347
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: Could you imagine going undercover to a climate cafe and

348
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: just sitting in on one of those meetings. You wouldn't

349
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: be able to control your laughter. You would blow your

350
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: cover in two seconds.

351
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: There is another nonprofit that trains facilitators to conduct these meetings.

352
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 4: Oh, you'd be a great facilitator.

353
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: The Climate Psychology Alliance. Yes, they have trained three hundred

354
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: and fifty people to run climate cafes in the US, Canada.

355
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: And Europe. How much are they charging for that course?

356
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: What kind of racket is that?

357
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 6: You guys are being very insensitive people that enjoy worrying

358
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 6: about the climby.

359
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: You got to buy your own cambucha and your own

360
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: golden rod. Maybe they smoke the golden rod. Oh my god,

361
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: I got a lot more here. Let me take a break.

362
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: We'll continue on this. This is so good.

363
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to go bring you some golden rod.

364
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, bring me something. Can bring me a bottle of

365
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: expensive bacteria. Don't bring me the cheap stuf.

366
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 4: Are you going to drink it?

367
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll give it one swig. Oh wait, really, then

368
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: go get some eric because if we're doing this, we're

369
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: putting it on social media. And then well they have

370
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: some in the kitchen. Oh yeah, they sell some in

371
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: our kitchen. Who around here buys that stuff?

372
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh? I bet I know who's gonna leave that?

373
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: Uh?

374
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, go ahead. You're paid for it, though

375
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm not paying for a bottled bacteria.

376
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

377
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: six forty.

378
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: Coming up, Todd Bensman, the journalist who spends a lot

379
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: of time at the border it's got a piece in

380
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: the New York Post today. Biden knows the terrorists acrossing

381
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: the border. Why doesn't he stop it? See if Todd

382
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: has an answer to that. And that'll be right after

383
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: two o'clock in Deborah's News. And Deborah's here right now

384
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: because they ran across an article today about climate cafes

385
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: where people who are terrified of climate change they gather

386
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: together and in small groups and they commiserate.

387
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 6: And I think you're being very insensitive to those people.

388
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 6: There are plenty of people who like that kind of thing.

389
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: They like the psychological support.

390
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 6: They worry about it, so they have other people that

391
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 6: they can share their anxiety.

392
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: Right, and how does that help? How does that cool

393
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: the planet?

394
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: I don't know makes them feel better? And I happy

395
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 4: first day.

396
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 1: Of spring by the way, Oh thank you.

397
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful day.

398
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: Huh. Right, you're like the first spring bird, aren't you? Yes,

399
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: the bluebird of happiness. That's me, all right? You have

400
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: now they apparently they drink kombucha at these meetings, which

401
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: I've heard the word. I have no idea like what

402
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: it's made of?

403
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 6: Okay, well, does it have a lot of ingredients? This one,

404
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 6: this is bubbly. So this has This is ginger lemon.

405
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 6: It's a bubbly, probiotic tea. Okay, a happy gut.

406
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: So my gut is fine. It just had two cheeseburgers.

407
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 6: Okay, this is I'm so glad we're doing this because

408
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 6: this will probably go right through you, and it will

409
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 6: get rid of a lot of the cook in that

410
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 6: body of yours.

411
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: I might be stuck in the men's room. I'm going

412
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: to give you somethingry, give me some now, all right.

413
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: I want to see what all these miserable people who

414
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: are wailing about the climate. What this stuff tastes like.

415
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: My wife was into this stuff for a while, but

416
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: then she thought it was too expensive. You you drink

417
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: this stuff?

418
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 4: What else are you supposed to do? Wait?

419
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, cheers. Okay, Oh that's delicious. It's like

420
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: horse pea. It might don't ask me how I know

421
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: what horse pe tastes like. But whoa huh the ginger No,

422
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: that does taste like a cup of bacteria. Oh my god,

423
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: they charged what five seven bucks for this? No, it's burning,

424
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: it's it's bubbling. Oh, it's it's it feels like it's acid.

425
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: It's burning. The inside of my mouth, I don't think

426
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, yeah, joy, I'm going to read the

427
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: rest of this story of what goes on in these

428
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: man it's really burning the back of my throat. Now

429
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: you poison me, so all right. So here's one of

430
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: the meetings. This is Olivia Ferraro in New York City.

431
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: She arranges ten chairs into a circle and sets out grapes,

432
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: sparkling water, plantain chips. So those are terrible and reusable

433
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: cups because that's environmentally sensible. And the atendees for an

434
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: hour describe worrying for their future children and future generations.

435
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: They describe feeling overwhelmed not only by climate change but

436
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: also the political climate. Sheila McManamon says, I can't buy

437
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: into the narrative anymore, that there's no choice in how

438
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: this ends, and that major corporations have complete control over

439
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: my future. They do not have total control, and I

440
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: refuse to concede that. And she says that other participants

441
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: hum in agreement. Oh I want this. I want you

442
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: guys to hum. Whenever. You imagine these are grown men

443
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: and women. The World War two generation wouldn't have time

444
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: for this. You imagine our parents back in the old days, humming,

445
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: getting into a circle and humming.

446
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: Well, there's always been cults.

447
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: Oh pi, that's what this is. Ummmm, all right, the

448
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: one in Illinois. The woman who runs is Kate Mauer.

449
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: She rubbed the dried stalk of golden rod in her hand.

450
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: She picked it from her backyard. This flower, this connected

451
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: her to the climate crisis. It was one of the

452
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: many flowers native to Illinois that she had planted to

453
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: restore the natural environment. By the way, the burning sensation

454
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: is now in my gut. My throat is burning, my

455
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: esophagus is burning, and my stomach is burning. You poisoned me.

456
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 4: I didn't poison you. You'll be fine, you big baby.

457
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: Get worried for a second because I saw like four

458
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: cups in there. Deborah was about to poor media glass,

459
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: and I was like, there's no way I'm about to

460
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 2: drink it.

461
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 4: I'm going to I thought Ray was going to come

462
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 4: in and do some shots with This.

463
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Is backing up in my system. Here, I might I

464
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: might rich. And she said, she said, Now when she

465
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: goes in her garden, she has all these complex emotions.
