1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's our number two already.

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show. We're on every day three to six

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: after six o'clock. You listen to the podcast John Cobelt's

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: show on demand. This story made me crazy. Joseph Brandlin,

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: he has lived in Segundo El Segundo rather for a

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: long time, and he's got kids, and there's this terrible

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: intersection at the corner of Loma Vista Street and Acacia Avenue.

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: It's a two way stop, but it's very dangerous for

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: children trying to cross, and so he submitted a petition

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: fifty signatures neighbors signed saying hey, can we have more

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: stop signs? And then the city said no. So Brandlin

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: put up his own stop signs and his own crosswalk.

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: So the city arrests him. You think of all the

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: people that the city of Los Angeles does not arrest,

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: and they arrest Joseph Brandlin for putting up a stop

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: sign to keep this kids from getting run over. Hi, Yeah,

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: let's get Joseph on welcome.

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: How are you good, Johnny boy? How you doing?

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm good. Well this is uh, this is really wacky,

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: isn't it. What's wrong with the intersection? Why? Why does

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: it need extra stop signs?

23
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: It's one hundred feet from Acacia Park, which was recently

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: renovated and attracts a lot of young children and families.

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: Kids are probably between the age of three and seven

26
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: years old, So one hundred feet from the intersection. The

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: intersection well on Loma Vista approaching northbound. It is a

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: downhill stretch and a lot of vehicles pick up speed

29
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: and the intersection, whether they agree with it or not,

30
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: is a blind intersection, and it's just it's a same

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: set concern and it's just a prime example of elected

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: officials not listening to the community. It's a prime example

33
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: of police and excessivity, is what it is.

34
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: So you so this is right in their park, lots

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: of little kids, downhill. You say it's a blind intersection,

36
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: So it's.

37
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: On a curve, correct. There's actually three downhill stretches. I

38
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: mean east and westbound on Acacia is also downhill, pretty

39
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: pretty steep slope too, and then Acacia Is is sloped

40
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: as well, downhill in northbound.

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: City claims they came and looked at it and said

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: you don't need it.

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: That's what they claim. And we never saw an evaluation.

44
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: We were never nothing was transparent, and like, if there

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: was a traffic evaluation us and my neighbors, we would

46
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: have seen it. We would have seen, you know, speed

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: strips or something. And we found out like a month

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: or a month and a half later, oh yeahuation was done,

49
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: after asking repeatedly, you know, when is the traffic evaluation done,

50
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: and we found out that allegedly it was already done

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: and it didn't warn any stop signs, and then it

52
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: just really wasn't I mean, nothing was transparent. So obviously

53
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: didn't sit well with me or the neighboring residents here

54
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: of this community.

55
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: So your show almost got hit while riding his bike.

56
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,559
Speaker 2: That was the final straw. And I had already purchased

57
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: the high intensity stop signs. I had purchased the eight

58
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: foot stencils for the stop letters, the inverted marketing spray,

59
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: the wand I mean I was going to do it

60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: where it was going to be very consistent with the

61
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: other two stop signs here.

62
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: You spent your own money, you spend thousand money, thousand

63
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: dollars of year ow money.

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: So my own money. And the funny, the crazy thing

65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: is leading up to this. I mean, it wasn't just

66
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: my son. Another lady got hit in another crosswalk that

67
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: wasn't too far away and the vehicle was doing fifty

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: miles an hour. Lucky to be alive. And there were

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: some other clothes calls that I witnessed this week, and

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: the final one was my son almost getting hit on

71
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: his bike. It's just it's just dangerous. And I said,

72
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: you know what, this is the night because it was

73
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: a warm night and there was no moisture on the ground,

74
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: and I figured, you know, I'm going to do it

75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: at night obviously, because there's not going to be much traffic.

76
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting any traffic, you know, at one or

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: two o'clock in the morning, and I figured that was

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: the night to do it. And I was almost done,

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: and you know, just got caught before I was laying

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: down the stencils for the south down side.

81
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Did the police just happen to be driving by or

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: did somebody rat you out?

83
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: I think somebody routed me out. Really somebody would do that, yeah,

84
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, in their defense, I mean they

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: probably just saw some random guy with a hoodie on

86
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: spray in the ground, and they maybe didn't know it

87
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: was me. So, you know, I'm not upset about that.

88
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm just upset at how what trans inspired. You know,

89
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: once the police did catch me.

90
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: So the Elsa police show up, and what happened? What

91
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: did tell that story?

92
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: Female officer? I would say early the mid twenties, and

93
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: I basically so how it happened is I had they

94
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: so going back the city instead of putting up stop signs,

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: said you know what, we'll just give them. We'll just

96
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: put up crosswalks and that should be sufficient for him.

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I think they were trying to do.

98
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: But what the crosswalks have done, it's confused people it

99
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: actually believe it or not. It's made it more unsafe.

100
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: So they've got these crosswalk signs and they made it

101
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: perfect where I just swap out the crosswalk signs, put

102
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: up the stop signs, and you know, spray the stencils

103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: on the ground. So I was carrying the second set

104
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: of crosswalk signs across the street when a car was

105
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: I saw some headlights coming and I'd put the signs

106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: down and the car went by, and it wasn't a cop,

107
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: and I thought to myself, thank god, it's too o'clock

108
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 2: in the morning. You know there's I should be in

109
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 2: the clear. I grabbed the signs. I go to cross

110
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: the street. I look right and then I look left,

111
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: and by this time I'm already midway through the intersection

112
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: and the other set of headlights come up, and that

113
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: is the female officer. So immediately I put him down

114
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: and she tells me, don't move, sit on the ground,

115
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: sit on the curb, shines the lights, puts the lights

116
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: on top on and then she comes out and says, sir,

117
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: what are you doing? And I told her exactly what

118
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: I was doing, why I was doing it, all the

119
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: events leading up to it very transparent and just very cooperative,

120
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: and all that just kind of worked against me. Worst

121
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: part is it was a long day we had. I worked,

122
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: my son had a baseball game. In the middle of

123
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: the baseball game, he started coming down with the flu.

124
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: So after the game, I was taking care of him

125
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: and he's in the house and when he finally went

126
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: to sleep, that's when I decided to do this. So

127
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: I told the female officer that my son is in

128
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: the house. He's twelve years old, he's sick with the

129
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: flu and at some point they put me in the

130
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: back of the cop car a handcuff. He put me

131
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: in the back of the cop car, left me in

132
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: there for thirty five minutes while they were forcing it

133
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: around with the stencils, laughing, giggling. While I'm in the

134
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: back of the cop car, windows up, no AC and

135
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: she's bumping Kiss FM at two thirty in the morning.

136
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: All right, stop there, stop there. We'll we come back

137
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: because you eventually got charged with a number of felonies.

138
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: This is crazy, all right. We'll continue with Joseph Brandlin.

139
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: He's a dad. There is a terrible intersection near a

140
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: park and cars come downhill. They're going around a blind curve.

141
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: He's putting up two more stop signs and the city,

142
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: the police officers in El Segundo, this woman arrested him.

143
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: The city wouldn't listen. And his son almost got hit

144
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: when he was riding his bike. So dad trying to

145
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: do the right thing and he ends up in the

146
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: back of a patrol car. More of this story, let

147
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: we return.

00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: Segundo and there's a terrible intersection at the corner of

157
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: Loma Vista and Acacia Avenue. It's a two way stop,

158
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: but it needs more stop signs because the cars come

159
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: downhill fast around a curve. It's a blind intersection and

160
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: the kids across the street there near a park, Acacia Park,

161
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: and his own son almost got hit while he was

162
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: riding a pike, so the city didn't listen. Didn't listen.

163
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: This is Elsa Gunde. So he spends one thousand dollars

164
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: of his own money to put up his own stop

165
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: signs at the crosswalk at one thirty two o'clock in

166
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: the morning and gets caught by a female police officer

167
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: who throws them in the back of the car. And

168
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: that's where we left him, sitting in the back of

169
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: the car in the middle of the night. Were you cuffed?

170
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I was cuffed outside the car for a few minutes,

171
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: and then yeah, well I was in the back of

172
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: a cop car for thirty five minutes. I was cuffed and.

173
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: Well, thirty five minutes while she and did other police

174
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: show up? Were they dismantling the stop sign you put in?

175
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: What was going on?

176
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: They were trying to take down the stop sign? There

177
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: were three of them, so three cop cars, three cops

178
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: and trying to remove the stencils from the ground and

179
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: just it seemed like they were having a fun time

180
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: doing it. Meanwhile, I'm in the back of a cop

181
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: car for thirty five minutes and and is inside the

182
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: house sick with the flu.

183
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: Right, And I guess did they check on him? Did

184
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: they Nope? Nope, they didn't escort you into the house

185
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 1: to set settle matters inside? What go ahead?

186
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: What?

187
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: What? What? What did they charge you with?

188
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: There's a moult. There's multiple charges, but two of them

189
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: are felonies, and one is vandalism city property and the

190
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 2: other one is grand theft. And they're a legend that

191
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: I stole cones from a local construction site. So you

192
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: think they have bigger fish to fry than that.

193
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Grand theft, stealing those orange cones.

194
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's a big offense.

195
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: And putting up a stop sign is vandalism.

196
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: I think it's more for the spray on the ground.

197
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: The I say, just like they charge all the graffiti

198
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: artists with vandalism, right, same thing, all the people who

199
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: deface every square inch of every freeway wall in Los Angeles.

200
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're all charged with selling these too, I'm sure.

201
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, Well maybe you can end up in

202
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: a diversion program. So what so what I mean, what's next?

203
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: I guess?

204
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: So what have you been a ranger?

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: You're going to trial? What's going to go on here?

206
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: So she has the nerve to tell me. After thirty

207
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: five minutes, she walks up and says, well, your son's

208
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: in the house and you need to find somebody to

209
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: come pick him up, or we're going to call child services.

210
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and anybody who knows my story, I'm a

211
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: full time single dad. I've had full custody of my

212
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: twelve year old son for almost ten years now. When

213
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: you threaten child services on me, it's not going to resonate.

214
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: Well, oh my god, what a horrible, horrible situation to

215
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: be in. I'm really awful when you're trying to save

216
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: kids lives, that's all you're doing, and they weren't listening.

217
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: I accept a level of accountability, and I understand you

218
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: can't just go out and do that. But when the

219
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: city's not listening to you, and you're not gonna wait

220
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: for a child to get seriously hurt or die, you're

221
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna do what you think is best. And

222
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: I was almost done, and you.

223
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: Know, well, the thing is, there's so much like the

224
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: city of Los Angeles where I live, doesn't do. They

225
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: don't pick up garbage. In fact, Karen Bass tries to

226
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: organize neighborhoods to pick up their own garbage. Now we get.

227
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: Is that's a whole different story.

228
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. But during when the fire happened, there

229
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: was no police coverage on my block. I live on

230
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: the West Side, and we had to hire our own

231
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: uh security guard. He had a loaded gun and he

232
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: was gonna shoot anybody who came on any proper our

233
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: house or anybody else's house because the police didn't show up,

234
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: so we had to get arranger like our own police force.

235
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: We had two guys, one in the front, one in

236
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: the back. We pitched in with neighbors. People are pitching

237
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: in picking up garbage. These cities don't do anything on

238
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: their own, and I would you should be doing this.

239
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: You should nail in a stop sign.

240
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: If they won't do it, absolutely, you know, you know,

241
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: you only the unfortunate thing too. And I was very

242
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: transparent with the officers. I'm a lifelong El Sabander resident.

243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: I've been here for almost forty five years. And these

244
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: youngsters in their twenties, they gave me no respect. And

245
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: the more transparent I was just you know, it didn't

246
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: serve me any good. And they just nowadays, you get

247
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: rewarded for lying and fraud and yeah, you know, yeah,

248
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: you don't get rewarded for being honest and being transparent.

249
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: And you know, like if it didn't, if it wasn't

250
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: so absurd and excessive, you know, I wouldn't be talking

251
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: to you today. But the fact that it was, in

252
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: the fact that the police department stands behind this and

253
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: they think this is you know, this is just that's

254
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: mind boggling.

255
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: That well, well, I mean, we've got tens of thousands

256
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: of homelesses on homeless people on the street, right and

257
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: they commit crimes all day and night. Every living breath

258
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: is practically a crime. We've got so many gang members,

259
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: we've got so many looters going around. None of these

260
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: people are arrested. Right, How many times have you heard

261
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: about drug stories and grocery stories being looted for hundreds

262
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: and hundreds of dollars? The police don't don't arrest.

263
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: We hear hear of them being arrested.

264
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: President's all the time saying I got a homeless guy

265
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: taking a crap on the front lawn. The police won't come,

266
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: they won't arrest. Who's the mayor of elt Sagundo, Chris Pimentel.

267
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know him too well, but between you

268
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: and I, I did reach out to him following the arrest,

269
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: and I so this is the other thing that I'm

270
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: we're missing the quite a few details. How much time

271
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: do we have here?

272
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Well, I gotta go because we've been on I got

273
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: to do the news in a minute. But why don't

274
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: you call us back when you have an update, when

275
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: there's a next chapter. Okay, we'll stay on this.

276
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: Story, all right, John, Thanks for having me?

277
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: All right, thanks a lot, Thatt, jeez. Joseph Brandlin puts

278
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: up his own stop side, it gets arrested with felonies.

279
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: So it's better if the kids get flattened. I guess

280
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: right in El Segundo, better they get run over for

281
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: all the craft well, my god, and the stuff I've

282
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: seen in Nelson Gundo on the beaches there, who right,

283
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: the homeless people on the beaches.

284
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

285
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: six forty.

286
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: We're on every day from three until six moistline eight

287
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: seven seven, Moist eighty six, eight seven seven Moist eighty six,

288
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: so usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. I stumbled

289
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: on this story. It's a train story. You're gonna want

290
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: to listen to this. This state is so absurd and screwy.

291
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: We all know about the high speed rail, right, I

292
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: didn't know that there is a train that supposedly takes

293
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: you from Oakland to Los Angeles. It's called the gold Runner.

294
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: It's part of the Amtrak system, but California funds and

295
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: maintains the whole system. It owns the railcars and the locomotives,

296
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: all right, and Amtrak provides the engineers and the conductors

297
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: and sells the tickets, all right. So the gold Runner train.

298
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: This guy riding for sf gate dot com is Randy Diamond,

299
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: and he's a big train fan. He love strains. He

300
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: thought this would be fun except it takes you. Wait

301
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: to hear the details. It takes you nine hours on

302
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: the gold Runner. It starts in Oakland, ends Union Station

303
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: in downtown LA. But the thing is the train only

304
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: takes you to Bakersfield, and then when you get to

305
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: Bakersfield you have to get out of bus. So they

306
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: advertise this train service between Oakland and LA, but it's

307
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: actually a train from Oakland to Bakersfield. Now there's two

308
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: lovely communities, huh. And then it's a two and a

309
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: half hour bus ride over the Grapevine plus the train.

310
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: According to Randy Diamond, in fact, he wrote that he'd

311
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: never take this again till they redesign. The whole thing

312
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: is that the seats are really uncomfortable. They're really hard,

313
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: and they don't have back support, rock hard padding. There

314
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: isn't much recline, and they have hardly any food. So

315
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: you're on a train and this bus for nine hours

316
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: and there's no food to eat. Like most long distance trains,

317
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: even short distance trains they have they have a food

318
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: car well, they don't. They close the cafes because they

319
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: were losing money. The reason they're losing money is the

320
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: train was nearly empty. He took a Saturday afternoon ride.

321
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: There's four hundred seats. You know how many were occupied?

322
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: Thirty thirty. The government's losing tons of money. We're losing

323
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: tons of money because California is paying for a lot

324
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: of this. There were thirty people that wanted to take

325
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: a train from Oakland to LA that becomes a bus.

326
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: After he hit Bakersfield, the gold Runner, so he says,

327
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: he sat down rock hard. Padding, lack of a significant

328
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: recline was painful, Seats lacked lumbar support, The recline was

329
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: clunky because the bottom cushion moved forward. Is just no good.

330
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: As they left the Bay Area, he decided to take

331
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: advantage of a complimentary snack program Doritos, check Mix, Fredo's Popcorn,

332
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: Grandma's Cookies, sodas. The sodas, though, were warm. There's no

333
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: refrigerators for the soda, and as you continue along in

334
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: the train, your soda gets warmer and warner warmer. Now

335
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: they lost three million dollars on They used used to

336
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: have cafes, but they lost three million dollars on the

337
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: food service, so they scrapped it. So now if you

338
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: you don't pack a lunch with you, maybe two meals,

339
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: you're out of luck. You have to eat Doritos the

340
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: whole way down. Now they don't have refrigerators because they

341
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: can't find a company to restock the vending machines. And

342
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: the idea they were going to have vending machines that

343
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: would offer fresh produce reflecting the region. How do you

344
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: get fresh produce out of a vending machine. That's not

345
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: a concept. But the refrigerator problem. Listen to this. The

346
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: EPA adopted a policy requiring trains to have climate friendly refrigerators.

347
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: But in order to have a climate friendly refrigerator, you

348
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: have to have a small amount of flammable elements. Well,

349
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: the Federal Railroad adminute prohibits flammable refrigerants in refrigeration systems.

350
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: So you have one federal agency says, well, we have

351
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: to be climate mindful and we're only gonna have refrigerators

352
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: and you have to use this special refrigerant, but it's flammable,

353
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 1: and then the other agency says, well, you can't use

354
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: it because it's flammable. Because of this conflict, they say,

355
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: between the EPA approved refrigerants and the Federal Railroad Administration

356
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: safety restrictions. We're currently working through the process. So you

357
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: can't have a cold soda, you can't eat anything. You

358
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: don't serve food unless you get doritos. The seats are

359
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: hard and uncomfortable, and the train becomes a bus in Bakersfield. Gee,

360
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: that's why only thirty That's why only thirty passengers out

361
00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: of four hundred seats. This guy took it to do

362
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: the story for SF Gay. He says he's not taking

363
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: it again until they change everything. Also in the story,

364
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: they had a photo of of of all a stonehenge

365
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: like construction elements out in the San Joaquin Valley. You know,

366
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: those big support columns that are supposed to hold the

367
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: elevated high speed rail, except there is no rail and

368
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: there is no train, but the concrete support columns are

369
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: in the air. And there was like a picture of

370
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: about half a dozen of them, and they are going

371
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: to sit there for the rest of the century and

372
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: no train will ever pass over them. I just I

373
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe you can't have a

374
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: refrigerator because of conflicting federal regulations from two different agencies.

375
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: They lost three million dollars trying to serve food. There's

376
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 1: nobody in the seats. The seats are terrible. Runner yea,

377
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: all right, when we come back. It looks like speaking

378
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: of a climate. A House panel in Washington is subpoenaing

379
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: the chairman of the California Air Resources Board. They want

380
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: a lot of information as to why California was trying

381
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: to force us all into electric vehicles against our will.

382
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: I'll explain this when we come back.

383
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM

384
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: six forty.

385
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: We are on from three to six. Podcast is after

Speaker 1: Radio on social media or subscribe on YouTube, YouTube dot com.

388
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: Slash at John Cobelt's show YouTube dot com slash at

389
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show. The biggest scam is a bust. The

390
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: electric vehicle mandate an absolute racket, an absolute scam, and

391
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: the Trump administration and Congress eviscerated California's policies. They were

392
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: going to force us all to buy electric vehicles by

393
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: twenty thirty five. And you could see how they would

394
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: drive up the price of gas to some astronomical number

395
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: so we could get the existing gas powered cars off

396
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: the road. And Trump has thwarted it, and in a

397
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: bipartisan vote, the House and the Senate also canceled California's

398
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: environmental waivers. You see is there's supposed to be one

399
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: national standard for roles involving auto emissions unless you get

400
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: a waiver, and for years California got that waiver. But

401
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: now the waiver was canceled. Trump cancer that Congress canceled

402
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: it with Democratic votes because the electric vehicle thing is

403
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: a scam. Sorry it is, And California is still I'll

404
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: explain to you what they're doing, but they're still denying

405
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: auto manufacturer's approval to bring vehicles to the marketplace unless

406
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: the manufacturers comply with the regulations that have been nullified.

407
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: So you had the President and you had the House

408
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: and the Senate nullify these waivers, and California just refuses

409
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: to listen. So now the House Energy and Commerce Committee

410
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: is issuing a subpoena to the California Air Resources Board.

411
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: This ditsy dope, Lauren Sanchez, No, not that, Laurence Sanchez

412
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: another Lauren Sanchez, and this one, by the way, doesn't

413
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: have a brain. If you've heard her talk, I believe

414
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: she was the one who admitted that they don't take

415
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: into consideration what the cost to consumers will be with

416
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: they impose all these wacky regulations on oil and gas.

417
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: So the House Committee says that Sanchez's Air Resources Board

418
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: is not handing over records and memos and emails. They've

419
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: been conducting a seven month investigation into the EV mandate

420
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: and they're not getting cooperation. And the House Energy and

421
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: Committee chairman said forcing Americans to buy unreliable, costly evs

422
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: would eliminate consumer choice, strain our electric grid, raise costs,

423
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: and increase our reliance on entities tied to the Chinese

424
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: Communist Party. All that's true, they never talk about the

425
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: electrical grid. How there is no grid constructed in California

426
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: in a handle a massive amount of EV's plugged in

427
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: all the time. It simply doesn't exist. Not to mention

428
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: the lack of EV chargers, Carbas claiming they have provided

429
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: the information the by administration had given them waivers, but

430
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: that's all gone after months of negotiations. Carba's lack of

431
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: cooperation with this investigation requires the issuance of the subpoenis.

432
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: According to the chairman, whose last name is well Brett Guthries.

433
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: His name Brett Guthrie. So they want everything that we

434
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 1: never get to know about, all the secret correspondence between

435
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: Newsom and the Carbon Board, between Rob BoNT to the

436
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: Pipsqueak Attorney General and the cardboard. So hopefully they'll release

437
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: all this public and we'll find out all the stupid

438
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: ideas that they have imposed on our lives. Here. Oh god,

439
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: what was it? Did you see the price of gas?

440
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: It was a story. I don't know if I can

441
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: find it that quickly, but gas is almost six bucks

442
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: a gallon in Los Angeles and in Orange County, and

443
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: it's still a three ninety eight average across the rest

444
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: of the country. But we're looking at six, like like

445
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: five ninety three or something in La County. And every

446
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: day Newsom puts it some stupid tweet claiming that it's

447
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: Trump's weren't Iran. He puts out the same why every

448
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: single day, and nobody, nobody in the media will challenge

449
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: him and say it's it's four bucks in the rest

450
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: of the country, it's six bucks here, and it's the

451
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: two bucks that you get through the California Air Resources

452
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Board and all the taxes at a Newsom. That's the

453
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: difference the regulation from CARB and Newsom's taxes. And he

454
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: says he's incredibly dishonest. I mean, mind boggling. I don't

455
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: think as as full of crap as most politicians are.

456
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: As much as they lie. Newsom is like the show

457
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: Hey Otani of lying psychopathic politicians. Just nobody touches him.

458
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: All Right, we come back. We are gonna talk to

459
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: Jamie Page from the California Post. Because you saw those

460
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: all those sad elderly people protesting and chanting, and they're

461
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: silly no Kings protests. By the way, woke up yesterday

462
