00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: here on the Johnny Ken Show at one twenty two,

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: twenty and three to twenty. A lot of good stuff

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: to get into today, but we're actually going to begin

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: with something we don't really talk about at all anymore,

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: but we have to note these two stories, and it's

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: COVID nineteen COVID nineteen. I remember that whole thing anyway,

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: which began in late twenty nineteen and of course affected

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: the world for a couple of years of all the lockdowns.

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Two things, the surprise story that came out last night

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: kind of and your shows here just how far pulled

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: back we are from all the fear and craze, or

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: for COVID in and out. Burgger is prohibiting employees and

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: five of their Western US state locations from wearing masks

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: at work unless they come up with a medical note

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: from a doctor. It goes into effect in August. It's

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: not going to be California. They do want to touch

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: the whole California third rail with the crazies and Sacramento.

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Maybe there's too many California customers who want to see masks.

30
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: Oh you think so.

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: I see plenty of masks at it. Certain they don't

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: go to in and out. Well, those are whole foods people.

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: There's got to be there's got to be something. They

34
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: had to standoff with the with one of the counties

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: up in northern California. Remember the counties were demanding.

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Oh they had a problem with San Francisco too because

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: they would not They ordered them to uh well, they

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: ordered them closed in twenty twenty one because they would

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: not check the vaccine proof of indoor diners.

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: Right, yes, that's running out.

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: Later preemptively closed all five of its location nearby Contra

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: Costa County.

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: You're referring to, right, Yeah, right, so San.

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Francisco and then nearby Contra Costa County both were Maybe.

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: If you go on the whole Foods Man, I see

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: easily a half a dozen masks on any given day,

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are the employees too, which

48
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: creeps me out. That's why I don't want to see masks,

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: because it makes me think of contagious disease. And so

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: I wonder, what do these people have that they don't

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: want to give to me.

52
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: They'll tell you that they were there.

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: They were there all day with the public, so maybe

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: they just wanted to take a little extra precaution.

55
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: And then then nobody ever reaches, so they didn't even

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: get the flu and then the cold.

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Then I'm thinking they're mentally ill, and where if they

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: suddenly lash out, they have some kind of breakdown or flashback,

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: and then they start, I don't know, taking off their clothes.

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't well, I don't trust people walking around masks

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: at all. But you know what, it also bothers me,

62
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: puts me in a bad mood. And then I'm not hungry.

63
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: You collapse that easily. He's a mask, can't eat the

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: rest of the day, I'm very much start thinking about disease.

65
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, this guy must be infected with something.

66
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: The states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Utah. The

67
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: reason is I like this the importance of customer service,

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: the ability to show our associates smiles and other facial features.

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: It is a little off putting to see somebody wearing

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: a mask. Yeah, but half their face is covered up

71
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: most of the time. You once in a while, you see.

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Somebody once in a while, it's a good thing. Did

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: you put something? Would you cover that up? Jesus catch

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: your chief finished?

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: If you remember.

76
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty one, the chief legal and business

77
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: officer for In and Out said to the San Francisco Chronicle,

78
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: we refuse to become the vaccination police for any government.

79
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: associates to segregate customers into those who may be served

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: and those who may not, whether based on the documentation

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: they carry or for any other reason. Of course, NBC

83
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: News then took its little side shot here. In and

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: Out it's been known for printing Bible verses on its

85
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: food package. Oh my God, not Bible versus some toime

86
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: of religious fringe. Gio that's who they are. We just

87
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: want our readers to know who they're dealing.

88
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: With, Like, like the COVID fanatics are not into a religion, right.

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 2: The other story is, we mentioned yesterday that was probably

90
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: the first time in months that we said anything to

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: deal with COVID nineteen. But we've got a situation now

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: with the hospitalizations are as low as they were pretty

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: much at the beginning of the pandemic, So it's completely over.

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: Despite the Los Angeles Times warning everyone that July fourth

95
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: could bring another upsurge, there'll be gatherings. I couldn't believe

96
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: they pulled that out one more time. I know, hey,

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: they're they're losing a million dollars a week. So it

98
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: got in New York Times that did story that well.

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: The headline was a positive COVID milestone in a sign

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: that pandemic really is over. The total number of Americans

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: dying each day is no longer historically abnormal, and they

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: presented a little chart showing that for the past three

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: years there were some big upswings and what's considered weekly

104
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: deaths above normal. In other words, historically you have a

105
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: certain number of people who die and for periods of

106
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, twenty one, and twenty two.

107
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that number jumped.

108
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they as much as fifty percent above normal in

109
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: one case.

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. They try to calculate excess deaths. Yeah, that's what

111
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: they call it.

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: They take the average annual death total and then if

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: you have a significant excess death rate beyond that, then

114
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: you know that maybe something unusual happened that year.

115
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: But do they correct for like the fact that the

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: population's bigger than it was, you know, fifty years ago,

117
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: twenty years ago.

118
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: They're just looking at average number of deaths per year.

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: They should they should, Yeah, getting older with the baby

120
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: boom population, Now you don't number end of that, getting

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: pretty old. The thing is, there's a lot of sloppy

122
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: people in the media who don't do the correction, and

123
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: there's a lot of half assed work even being done

124
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: in government, So you never know. Do you remember that stupid,

125
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: stupid University of Washington research that was putting out the

126
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: estimates for how many people were going to die and

127
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: they were so freaking wrong by like a million percent,

128
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: and these it was computer modeling they did, and everything

129
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: they predicted was wrong by one hundred thousand miles which

130
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: reminds me of you know, these climate change models that

131
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: try to tell you, hey, yesterday was the hottest day

132
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: in one hundred thousand years. It's like, okay, I mean

133
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: these computer models, which scientists seem to love, suck. It's

134
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: it's it's a complete hoax, these computer models. And I

135
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: think there was there was, There was. There's a lot

136
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: of that going on with with the with the coronavirus

137
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: death predictions and well and the counting after the fact.

138
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: Buried in this New York Times story and pointed out

139
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: it's like paragraph seventeen, the official number of COVID deaths

140
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who

141
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: had virus when they died, even though it was.

142
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: Not the underlying cause of death.

143
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: Other CDC data suggests that almost one third of the

144
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: official recent COVID deaths have fallen into this category. And

145
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what would be considered recent COVID deaths

146
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: as things only three years old. Yeah, one third though,

147
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: And we always said that from the beginning. They were

148
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: just you know, somebody dies in the hospital and oh

149
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: the tests said their COVID PI died in COVID.

150
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and this was this was as recently as

151
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: last summer, because Barbara Ferrara made one last run. I

152
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: think it was the end of last summer July August,

153
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: oh at the masks got the masks coming back. I

154
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: remember that year.

155
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: It was a year ago.

156
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: She was using hospit vitalization data of people in the

157
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: hospital with COVID, except they were taken to the hospital

158
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: with something else, Yeah, a gallbladder problem or they had

159
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: no COVID systems, but the test was mandatory and they

160
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: found that it was positive.

161
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: So they considered them COVID hospitalizations when right.

162
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: That wasn't true, and that was a big exaggeration, right,

163
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: and they.

164
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: Used that as an excuse to bring back the masks

165
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: inside indoors.

166
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Then there's this the number of COVID deaths has now

167
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: dropped solo they're difficult to notice, and the overall death data,

168
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: so it's uh, they're claiming that there's still eighty people

169
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: a day in the country.

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Who die of COVID. They're saying that, but then again

171
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: that may be an overcount the way that's that's one

172
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: and a half people per state.

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's roughly that eighty people per.

174
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: Day on the k like we should shut everything down

175
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: for that one guy well who croaked today somewhere.

176
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: I have to say that's the one thing that survived

177
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: three years later. We didn't do all that. And remember

178
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: we were back then talking about oh my god, not

179
00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: masking forever.

180
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: If we could save just one life, it's probably some

181
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: old guy in Madeskto we could have saved, and we

182
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: just continued locking down the state.

183
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: That's a good point, all right. As soon as we

184
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: come back, you'll have a chance at money. We will

185
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: reveal another keyword and you just follow the directions. You

186
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: could win one thousand dollars. Johnny KENKFI AM six forty

188
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

189
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

190
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: There's another ozone warning.

191
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: Wow, this is one of the big pollutants that comes

192
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: out when you get a heat wave. High temperatures increase

193
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: the contents of ozone in the air, which can cause

194
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: some respiratory problems for people.

195
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: So they're issuing another one of these warnings.

196
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, of course, the story with the heat that is

197
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: getting the most attention is Phoenix, Arizona, where they've had

198
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: the nineteenth consecutive day where the temperature has hit at

199
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: least one hundred and ten that hasn't happened there since

200
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four.

201
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: This is for major.

202
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Cities defined as the twenty five most populous in the

203
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: United States. Any streak of one hundred and ten degree

204
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: days or ninety degree nights longer than Phoenix has not happened.

205
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 2: So now, well, places like Death Valley, yes, but Death

206
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: Valley is not considered a major city.

207
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, Phoenix has a lot of that heat

208
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: island effect. They have rapidly expanded. They're building homes and

209
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: concrete mean lots of lots of an asphalt. Yeah, because

210
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: lots of people moved there. I mean the real estate

211
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: market in Phoenix, because I know somebody who lives there,

212
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: and it went up a thirty three percent, you know,

213
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: during that two year COVID stretch, and it got to

214
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: the point where where there's some locals were moving out

215
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: because they couldn't afford the rent increase. It is because

216
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: so many people were moving in and driving up the prices.

217
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: So it's strange dynamic going on there.

218
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: But Phoenix and not have air conditioning, But it's gifted

219
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: in this story that there would be particularly hard on

220
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: people without air conditioning. When I've been in Phoenix, there's

221
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: nobody out on the streets all day during the summer.

222
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: In the summer.

223
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of them come here. Tons of Arizona

224
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: license plates driving around during the summer.

225
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

226
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: San Diego's big haven for Arizona vacationers. Right, they just

227
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: screwed down the.

228
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: Place to be in the winter.

229
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: But you don't want to be there between say, June

230
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: and September.

231
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean you drive around.

232
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't think really inconveniences people, because even if it

233
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: was one hundred instead of one to ten or ninety five,

234
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: you're still going to be indoors with the air conditioning

235
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: on all day. So what the exact high temperature is

236
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: is not really going to change anybody's life there. And

237
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: the more you have, the more you're building, more developments

238
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: and more cement, more asphalt. Yeah, you're going to keep

239
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: ticking up another degree or two.

240
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: They have not only two hundred cooling centers, but also

241
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: hydration centers in the metro area. Hydration center, John, we

242
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: didn't think of that. I here and get water, yeah,

243
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: or gatorade. Yeah, But it says a lot of them

244
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: have to shut down between four and seven because of

245
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: staffing and funding issues.

246
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: Oh well, that would seem to be more of the

247
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: peaky hours. But in all the water evaporates too.

248
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: That's another problem of a drive from the nutty world

249
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: of people fighting over this. We have a congresswoman from Minnesota,

250
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: ilhan Omar, who sent out the following tweet.

251
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 3: You might find it alarmist.

252
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: The Earth just broke the record for the hottest day

253
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: in one hundred and twenty thousand years. In fact, we

254
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: broke it on three separate days. National Climate Emergency. Now,

255
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: somebody noted that it looks like the source for the

256
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: claim is that University of Maine, the climate reanalyzer, remember.

257
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: That we talked about Daddy have to Wiskey malloy. That's

258
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: another crazy phony climate boddler.

259
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: One hundred and twenty thousand years.

260
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: They have data when we talk to Steve Molloy about

261
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: this yesterday, they only have weather data stretching back to

262
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine for this machine.

263
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: Well, the history of the planet.

264
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: That's not a lot, that's not even a blip, that's

265
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: not even a that's forty four years a super micro,

266
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: not even the even this Climate Change Institute says the

267
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: data should not be taken as official observational records.

268
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: No kidding.

269
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Oh so so this this record heat one hundred and

270
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand years ago was not actually observed by anyone.

271
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: It's not been recorded.

272
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: Now, I looked online because I knew that period of

273
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: time there was something historic about it in terms of evolution.

274
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: And if you go back one hundred and twenty five

275
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: thousand years, humans were just beginning to move out of

276
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: Asia and Africa. That that's where that's where human beings

277
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: evolved out of and then they started moving to all

278
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: the other continents as soon as they figured out how

279
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: to build a boat or they'd walk a really long way.

280
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: And and so that's about a hundred and one hundred

281
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand years ago we had the Neanderthals

282
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: just starting your friends. Yeah, so, who, by the way,

283
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: have gotten a bad rap. Turns out they were a

284
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: lot smarter. Okay, all right, all right, so my ancestors

285
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: weren't that dumb.

286
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: But you didn't see they're.

287
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: The ones in the cartoons that you know they clubbed

288
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: the woman and drager back to the cave.

289
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: Is that the Neanderthals. Oh, yes, that's the whey it

290
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: used to be.

291
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: It was. You know, you had these poken grunts. He

292
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: had these primal urges. Oh yeah, they came out of

293
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: the cave and they go, oh hot, hot, woman, Come

294
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: with me, woman, no temperature. So so you're going back

295
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: to a time where humans didn't populate much of the planet,

296
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: they hadn't figured out to travel yet, and you had

297
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: a time where you know, some of the strains of

298
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: humanity we're just developing, and we're going to go extinct.

299
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing there's no sophisticated temperature records from back then.

300
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: Oh and someone chimed in.

301
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: The first modern thermometer was seventeen fourteen, by of course,

302
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Gabriel Fahrenheit, and any kind of a thermometer first popped

303
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: up with Galileo in the late fifteen hundreds. So how

304
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: can we go back one hundred and twenty thousand years

305
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: and have any.

306
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Kind of the thermometer became widespread popularized in probably the

307
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: mid eighteen hundreds, because we have records going back to

308
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy or so here in Los Angeles. So it

309
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: is it is total nonsense, total horseman door but did

310
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: you see next week what? Oh, I'll pull it up

311
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: here for you next Oh, they dipped a little bit.

312
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: It was going to be like one hundred and two

313
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: in Burbank next Thursday, but now they have it down

314
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: at ninety four one hundred on Sunday.

315
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

316
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,320

317
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,800

00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: to somebody that tracks this kind of thing. We'll get

352
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: a first hand to count. A bunch of media stories

353
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: it ran over the weekend. The Daily Mail, the New

354
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: York Post and Fox News said they're back. And remember

355
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: he talked about the guy named Beers yesterday. His last

356
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: name is Beers. Yes, Scott Beers, who was very happy

357
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: to give up a farm in Nevada and just come

358
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: and sit there on the beach with his girlfriend on

359
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: the boardwalk.

360
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: Can't beat the view. He should be dragged back to Nevada. Left.

361
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 2: My favorite part though, as he talked about everything they

362
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: give away in Venice, all the meals, the Church of

363
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: the city gives.

364
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Away all the stuff. So yeah, because they're stupid in Venice.

365
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: They're really stupid. And I'm so sick of those churches too,

366
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: because the churches do so much damage with all the

367
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: free stuff that they give out to these people.

368
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: And you're not just.

369
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: Really lost its self reliance and self responsibility motives, they're.

370
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: All just gone.

371
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah gone, no work ethics gone. And it's Bill we'll

372
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: talk about coming up after two o'clock.

373
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: Twenty five years ago, the dopey voters of California passed

374
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: Proposition ten, nineteen ninety eight, tobacco tax. It was supposed

375
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: to help family with young children. John's right. It was

376
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: Rob Ryder. It was the big proponent. It turned into

377
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: something called First five California. There was a warning back then,

378
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: if we're successful in getting people to give up smoking. Well,

379
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 2: that could dry up your money, and it has Do

380
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: you have any idea?

381
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: This will be good to ask you off the cuff.

382
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: The average pack of Marlboro cigarettes in Los Angeles costs.

383
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: Once in a while I noticed cigarette prices. Oh you do.

384
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: I never do because behind the counter I pay no attention. Yeah.

385
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes in front of in front of convenience shops, they'll

386
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: have a little placard with them, like nine dollars.

387
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: Says here twelve twelve.

388
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: The average price for the state nine dollars and sixty

389
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: three cents, but in Los Angeles twelve. Well for a

390
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: pack of cigarettes, twenty cigarettes, twenty cigarettes, right, yep, got

391
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: so that's almost entirely taxes. Well, it's two dollars and

392
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: what is it eighty seven cents, So taxed on a

393
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: standard pack cigarettes, that's what you're paying taxes. California total

394
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 2: tax almost three bucks from nineteen eighty nine to twenty nineteen,

395
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: though California's smoking rate dropped from twenty two percent to

396
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: ten percent. So this means that first five, which is

397
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 2: supposed to save the babies, is drying up out of money.

398
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: And John, as you know, as we've talked about the homeless,

399
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: industrial complex and all these industrial complexes. This could be

400
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: a lot of people with a lot of quote nonprofits

401
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: and other organizations that get this money, who could be

402
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: dealing with some hard times.

403
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: Well they all go to business. Then, well there's the

404
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: best part.

405
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: The same crowd wanted to get rid of smokers, so

406
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: they got rid of ninety percent of them.

407
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: This thing took in hundreds of millions of dollars by

408
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine. But now by the year twenty twenty six,

409
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: they could be losing almost thirty to forty percent of

410
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 2: the funding what they had in twenty twenty one.

411
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 3: And what did it go for exactly?

412
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: Well, by the way, the first five received six hundred

413
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: and ninety million dollars in nineteen ninety nine two thousand.

414
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: Now they're down to three hundred and forty eight million dollars.

415
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: But what that's expected to shrink even further.

416
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: But that adds up to many billions of dollars. So

417
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: what did the world get out of that?

418
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: Well, that cowing that they I'm looking at the story

419
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: here because it just mentions programs in different countgrams. They

420
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: set up clinics, babies and stuff, immunization clinics. They have

421
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: all sorts of.

422
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: Let me see, I just it was a list here

423
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: of one of.

424
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: The But what's the tangible difference? Like children who started

425
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: going to these programs in the late nineteen nineties, they're

426
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: probably twenty five to thirty years old. Now, what's different

427
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: about them compared to adults who are thirty five to forty.

428
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: Oh.

429
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: I'll always say, well, if we hadn't done this, imagine

430
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: how worse these kids would be.

431
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, are they What I'm wondering is what

432
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: can they prove made their lives different? What's the metric

433
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: that makes it clear that without this money that their

434
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: lives would have been significantly compromised in some way?

435
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: Oh? Here it is.

436
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: Stanislaus County has something called Planet Baby Support for pregnant

437
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: women and moms. This comes in addition to programs for

438
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: foster children, dental health services. It claims here they have

439
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: a developmental screenings, family case management, parenting classes john and

440
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: home visits from a nurse for first time mothers parenting classes.

441
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I.

442
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: Thought you and your wife were flummox when your first

443
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: son was coming along. You were like, we didn't know

444
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: what to do.

445
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 3: We read books, So you figure it out.

446
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you figure it out though, I mean, it's

447
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: not that hard, and you know, eventually you just.

448
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 3: Don't put the baby down on the top of the

449
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: car and drive off. Correct.

450
00:22:53,320 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: That would be one The tobacco tax dollars make up

451
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 2: seventy three percent of their budget, so that's why they

452
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: need this money. But you know, you asked a question

453
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: a minute ago, and the answer is coming here from

454
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 2: one of the the first five guy in Kerrent County

455
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: who said, let's tax something else.

456
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: Then, how about alcohol. Let's tax something else.

457
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: Let's pick something that we think is socially inappropriate.

458
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 2: Oh, here it is Amy Travis, executive director, First five

459
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 2: Kurrn County, said, we know the taxes work. So if

460
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: tobacco is declining, then alcohol, marijuana, or sugary beverages. She

461
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 2: suggests sugary beverages again.

462
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: Oh, anything that people enjoy alcohol relaxes you.

463
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 3: We have to tax that marijuana. Marijuana. Have they already

464
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 3: taxed marijuana enough? Yeah? How would you know that?

465
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 1: It says? Okay, good answer. Yeah, anything that people enjoys

466
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: that make them feel better. This lady wants to tax

467
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: or considered vices. Somebody ought to go up to this

468
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: lady and say, what is it that you've done, And

469
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: don't tell me how much you've spent around, how many

470
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: people have accessed your services, what difference has it made

471
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: in their lives? And why can't a parent figure out

472
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: how to parent on their own, like talk to their

473
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: own parents, talk to their brothers and sisters who have kids.

474
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: It's not that complicated. It's not nuclear codes that you're

475
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: trying to deduce.

476
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh see now, one lady in the story said, oh, well,

477
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: I used to work in Santa Clara County. We reach

478
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: out to Google, the tech firms and they would give

479
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: us money. Well, fine, why as you get money from

480
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 2: private sources these programs are that important?

481
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: Go ahead and do that. I bet you they're not important.

482
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: I bet you doesn't make any difference.

483
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: And it's hon of it sounds like just other welfare

484
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: programs because a lot of that stuff already is in government.

485
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: You can get health screenings and you can get vaccination

486
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: shots from any number of healthcare programs. There's you know,

487
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: there's Medicaid. I mean, I don't understand this. I think

488
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: this was just another bloated bureaucracy that these nonprofits, these

489
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: parasite nonprofits attached themselves too, and all these people are

490
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: making six figure salaries. Remember we warned this. We said

491
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: this back when this ballot measure was up. We said, well,

492
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: if smoking does decline like it's projected to, and you

493
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: have this vast infrastructure of organizations taking all this first

494
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: five money, what's gonna happen when the tax revenues declined significantly.

495
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: So here we are twenty five years later, and there's

496
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: some big drop offs. And that's part of the reason

497
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: that the smoking numbers went down was because it got

498
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: too expensive. Because poor people smoke more, right, because then

499
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: her more stress earned her more stress.

500
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 3: All right, we got more called up.

501
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: Johnny Ken KFIM six forty live everywhere, iHeartRadio app.

502
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: I bet your first five has done nothing really though,

503
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: for the whole generation of kids.

504
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: Do you remember that one time we did the story

505
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: that they took the kids to a jelly bean factory and

506
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: we were like, yeah, my god, that's how they're.

507
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 3: Spending the money. Yeah, it was nonsense stuff. It's like

508
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: the homeless thing.

509
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

510
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

511
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: Coming up after two o'clock and I love it when

512
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: the La Times does his story on the homeless, they

513
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: always talk to a woman.

514
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 3: Who's got kids or somebody with a disability.

515
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 2: But the New York Post did a story and they

516
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: talked to a guy in Venice by the name of

517
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 2: Scott Beers, who gave up a farm in Nevada, took

518
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: all his belongings and made his way to the beach

519
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: and the boardwalk in Venice. He had a twenty eight

520
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: acre cattle ranch and dairy farm. His wife died and

521
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: I guess he got depressed and he decided to come

522
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 2: to California and live lop on the beach and live

523
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: off us.

524
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 3: Venice.

525
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: You get hot showers every day. You can go out

526
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: to the food bank three days a week. There's a

527
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: church nearby, give you a hot meal. And I love

528
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: the views he paned handles and get some welfare money.

529
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: So it looks like some of the vegans are back

530
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: on the boardwalk in Venice. We're going to talk to

531

533
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: hard work of then Sheriff Yana Wava and many others

534
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: to clear the.

535
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: Boardwalk largely of the homeless. Where's the that here they

537
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: new sheriff. He could go back in there and clear

538
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: things the way the Nawavid did.

539
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,520

00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: So uh and she's been working really hard to deal

548
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: with these homeless encampments in the John's council district on

549
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: the west side.

550
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,920

Speaker 3: of the v A again. Oh is it really? Yeah?

552
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: And I thought they were opening up all this housing

553
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: now on the VA grounds. Weren't they supposed did? It's

00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: big grand Hope?

555
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: They did.

556
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: They had a lot of those tiny homes. But I

557
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: don't know where these new people came from, but they're

558
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: starting to just.

559
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: So they heard they're giving away tiny homes and he

560
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: came to get the next one.

561
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: They're just a few scattered uh repopulation.

562
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: She's just to camp out for like hunter tickets and stuff,

563
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: remember those days. Yeah, they camp out for days to

564
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: or to get in for a Black Friday.

565
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Say maybe they're waiting for tickets for a concert five

566
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: years from now.

567
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 3: A woman in Germany, Uh, well, oh this is great.

568
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 3: I love this. So a woman in.

569
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: Germany had enough and she dragged a climate change activist

570
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: from blocking traffic. A video shows a woman screaming at

571
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: a climate change protester to get up from blocking a

572
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: road in Bottrop, Germany. According to a video that was posted,

573
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: then the woman grabs the activist by the hair drags

574
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: her to the side of the road, clearing the obstacle.

575
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: Right then the girl comes back blocks the road again,

576
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: and this same German woman dragged her a second time

577
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: by the hair. And the woman doing the dragging is

578
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: a youngest, attractive blonde. You know, it's not some big

579
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: ify German guy. And he's the nickname the Brutal Blonde.

580
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: She's not putting up with these idiots. And this is

581
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 3: what you gotta do.

582
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: You got to grab them by the hair, drag them

583
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: along the hot asphalt, right, the asphalt is probably one

584
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty degrees. And give them some abrasions, give

585
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: them some road burns there, and that'll get them.

586
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: You know, the protesters are taught to sit and make

587
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: themselves really heavy and make it difficult for you to

588
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: get them.

589
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: So and she's not that. I don't think she's any

590
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: bigger than the activists.

591
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: So she decided to resort to pulling her hair. Yeah, excellent,

592
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 2: And you respond to that because that hurts. Yeah, a

593
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: woman doesn't like to lose their hair. Yeah, except this

594
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: dope went back out and asked for round two. The

595
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: activist was lightly lightly injured and police are looking into

596
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: possible criminal charges.

597
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: It says that angry drivers have been getting out of

598
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: their vehicles to yell, brate and forcibly remove these activists.

599
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: Seek You know what, you don't stir germans up. They

600
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: don't put up with stuff.

601
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: Shouldn't they only be blocking the fossil fuel cars if

602
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: they want to take this literally, when they get all

603
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: the zero emission cars.

604
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: Get off the road, you just get off the road. Honestly,

605
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 3: you're just asking to be run over.

606
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

607
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So some drivers have knocked some of the activists

608
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: over and they drive right past them.

609
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, good.

610
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: Some of them glue their hands to the road. The

611
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: fire department is to chip out the cement underneath their hands.

612
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 3: Wow, this is good.

613
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: They a video of one guy screaming in pain as

614
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: they're trying to free his hand. So so the drivers

615
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: are are are winging the protesters right, knocking them over.

616
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: They're they're pulling their hair and dragging them off the road.

617
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: They're they're forcibly tearing their hands off the off the pavement.

618
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah and good, good, make them hurt. Here's a new one.

619
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: They went to the airport, include themselves to the runway

620
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: because air travel clearly they think it is a major

621
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: source of carbon.

622
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 3: They had to have one of the planes land on them.

623
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: They had to divert flights at several airports to remove

624
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: the protesters.

625
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: There is something in the German culture. They don't they

626
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: don't sit, they're going, Oh, lady just comes out.

627
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: And just rags you by the air on the asphalt.

628
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,360
