And you know what's 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 3: a bonus. John repeats that keyword like five times after 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 3: it's announced by the big voice guy. That's a bonus 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 3: from John Cobelt. See how generous he is. Many people 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 3: are in case you weren't completely paying attention and you 13 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 3: didn't win. 14 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: The lottery last night, or you're just slow. 15 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 3: I heard that this Phraser Park and they read it 16 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 3: this morning like I should know it up in Kern County. 17 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 3: I was like it was funny though. I went to 18 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 3: my news stand today where I sometimes buy the lottery 19 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 3: tickets and she said, oh yah, where's the winner? And 20 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 3: I said Fraser Park and then I said Kurent County. 21 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: It slipkedt me. He goes's where's Kurk County? 22 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 4: Really? 23 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 3: All right? So let's seen for the keyword around two 24 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: twenty back on the Israel versus Hamas front. We're going 25 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: to bring on Brad Garrett, ABC News Crime and Terrorism 26 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 3: analyst for a deeper dive into the whole history of 27 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 3: Hamas and also Brad can talk about what maybe the 28 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: FBI is doing to help locate some of the US hostages. Brad, welcome, 29 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: How are you? 30 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: I'm great? Thank you. 31 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: Hamas. You know, the word has been around, you know, 32 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: for a couple of decades. Now what are they really about? 33 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: They sat relatively quiet for many years. What has triggered 34 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: them to pull off this monumental attack? 35 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 5: I think primarily with the aid of other countries, other 36 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 5: terrorist organizations. I think that's what allowed them to pull 37 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 5: this off. I mean, the consistent reporting is that they've 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 5: been having they be in Amas, have been having meetings 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 5: with Iran, which I think translates probably into the Revolutionary Guard, 40 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 5: which is the terrorist sort of arm of Iran, and 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 5: that those meetings were the planning of this attack. And 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 5: so as a result, I think if you if you 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 5: look at at the Revolutionary Guard's history, they're pretty good 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 5: about pulling together factions of a number of terrorist groups, 45 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 5: training them, providing them equipment, and there is also a 46 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 5: belief that that it was not just the moas they 47 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 5: came into Israel, that possibly ISIS and other terrorist organizations 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 5: collaborated with Tomas. They may illogically not get along too well, 49 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 5: but if they have a common goal, you know they've 50 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 5: they've been pulled together. Different groups have pulled together to 51 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 5: launch an attack. 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 3: All right, brad As reports today this could have been 53 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 3: two years in the works. How how did this intelligence 54 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: not get a handle on this? 55 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 5: So and maybe they had a handle on and I'm 56 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 5: just guessing here. Of course that Hamas was amassing more 57 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 5: weapons or rockets, whatever it might be, but they just 58 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 5: didn't have any intel that they were actually going to 59 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 5: a launch an attack. It's hard to believe if you 60 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 5: consider how small Gaza is. It's extremely dense of why 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 5: some of their sources I assume they have plenty of 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 5: sources in Gaza didn't tell them about this. So, but 63 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 5: it's it's clear because the key to an attack like this, 64 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 5: particularly if they're the underdog, you're the low tech folks 65 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 5: that don't have planes, artillery, et cetera. And you're able 66 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 5: to launch a surprise attack and stay I think in 67 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 5: Israel for an tended period of time before Israel was able. 68 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: To take you on. 69 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 5: That's why they killed so many people in the first 70 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: moments of this attack. So that's the big question obviously, 71 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: But you know, it's sort of a mystery as to 72 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 5: how they were able to keep that from Israeli intelligence. 73 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: Do they have a next move because surely they knew 74 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Israel was going to respond with total annihilation. So are 75 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: they just going to sit there and take it or 76 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: is there another step to this? 77 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 5: Well, I think the other the next step will be 78 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 5: yet that yes, they knew that this would happen obviously, 79 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 5: and that there would be a ground war. 80 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: It would be bloody, a lot. 81 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 5: Of people would be killed on both sides, and maybe 82 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 5: they're thinking that this would outrage some of the Arab 83 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: countries that they have some alignment with, where those countries 84 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 5: I guess Rod being one of them would come to 85 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 5: their aid, which you know, if that happens, then this 86 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 5: war expands, then you have the potential of us then 87 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 5: getting drawn into it. I mean, it's that's really an 88 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 5: awful scenario, but it may be what their endgame is. 89 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: So they're they're hoping for because there's only a handful 90 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: of nations that have expressed any kind of support for Hamas. 91 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: You know, all in the Middle East. 92 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean much much of the world is 93 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: on the side of the Israelis and the United States 94 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: on this. Yeah, it's just such a weak hand that 95 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: they're playing. 96 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 3: There is no doubt. 97 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 5: It logically doesn't make any sense, and that you would 98 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 5: sacrifice so many of your own people to make this statement. 99 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 5: But you know, terrorist groups is don't care. You know, 100 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 5: they got this higher calling thing that's been isis is 101 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 5: you know, call signed for forever or that you know, 102 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 5: everybody but them needs to be slaughtered and if some 103 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 5: of them get slaughtered along the way, then that's this 104 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 5: part of it. 105 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: Do you expect a ground invasion into into Gaza? 106 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 5: I think there is no doubt. I think I think 107 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 5: Israel has already said that if they if they want to, 108 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 5: you know, they coined the term they basically want to 109 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 5: eradicate Hamas, which I don't think is realistic. But you 110 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 5: couldn't do that unless you went in. I think with 111 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 5: ground forces there's enough tunnel go ahead tunnels and places 112 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 5: to hide that you'd literally have to go in and 113 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 5: pluck people out at a certain location that's a very 114 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 5: densely populated place. 115 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: Is there any way to quantify just how much support 116 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: there is from the Palestinian public in Gaza for Hamas 117 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: and this operation? 118 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: Oh? 119 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 5: I don't know that that is a good question. I mean, 120 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 5: how many of them are just basically victims themselves that 121 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 5: they live there, they're stuck there, and these guys start 122 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 5: this war and they are the ones that are going 123 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 5: to get punished and already have been. 124 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: They are the government there though, Hamas right. 125 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 5: There, they are. They're the government. They're not the government 126 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 5: in the West Bank, but they are the government in Gaza. 127 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: And I know they got elected back around two thousand 128 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: and six. Were there subsequent re elections or did they 129 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: just stay in power by force? 130 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 5: You know, I don't know if they've had additional elections. 131 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 5: I know they've been in they stayed in power for sure. 132 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't I was looking these things up and 133 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 1: I just couldn't find any record of other elections beyond 134 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: the first one. 135 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that. 136 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know the answer to that question. 137 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: Well, let's move on to the hostages, and maybe you 138 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: can tell us if the FBI is going to be 139 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: of any help to get US citizens that are perhaps 140 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: being held in Gaza. 141 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 5: So, because Israel obviously is a huge ally, there's an 142 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 5: FBI office in Israel, like there would be a CIA 143 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 5: office and then the s A office. I mean, we 144 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 5: would have all of our major components that are already 145 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 5: stationed someplace in Israel. They're going to start or pulling 146 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: together all of their sources, because each one of them 147 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 5: will have different sets of sources about who who actually 148 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 5: got kidnapped and where they might be. Because I think 149 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 5: the number it's not going to be horribly large, but 150 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 5: I think it's going to be pretty big, of which 151 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 5: I think we're maybe a what over twenty of them 152 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 5: may be US citizens. So the real thorny question is, though, 153 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 5: if you'll locate them, then how do you get them 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 5: out of there without them being harmed? That's going to 155 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 5: be the real key. But you know, you got the FBI, 156 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 5: who are you know, experts at hostage taking in hostage negotiation, 157 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 5: So at some point, if they're not already, they're going 158 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 5: to use some of their expertise and maybe helping figure 159 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 5: out how they might do this. 160 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: They had threatened the other day Hamas that they would 161 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: execute the hostages if they got bombed with missiles from Israel, 162 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: but doesn't appear that that's happened. I mean, they said 163 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: something about providing video evidence they're going to execute some 164 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 3: of the hostages, but I haven't seen anything on that. 165 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 5: I haven't either, and maybe they're waiting to play that 166 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 5: card for the ground war to start. 167 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 3: All right, Brad, thank you so much for your input 168 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: on this. We appreciate it. 169 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: You're welcome.

Well, 210 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 3: we're being blamed again. I remember, years years ago, not 211 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 3: that many years, but maybe thirty, my sister lived in Oregon, 212 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 3: right doesn't live there anymore. She did, and I came 213 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: to visit her one time, and I didn't live in California, 214 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: and she told me, Uh, We've had it with these 215 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: California people. They're coming up here. They're buying up homes, 216 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 3: they're driving up real estate prices. We see them with 217 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: you because we can see the license plates. Ah. Well, 218 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: it's happening again, only this time the place is Texas. 219 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal has done a story called the 220 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: Californiazation of the Texas housing market. Migration from expensive states 221 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 3: has pushed home prices out of reach for many locals, 222 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: making it in parts of Texas a very hard market 223 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 3: for first time buyers. One thing that jumped out at 224 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 3: me a couple of statistics in this Wall Street Journal story. 225 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: Between two thousand and twenty twenty two Germany people, Texas 226 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 3: gained in population over nine million. That's like a stunning number. 227 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: In that twenty year period, they added nine million residents. 228 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: Yes, holy crack, it was the most. 229 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: However, it was only the fourth fastest growing state in 230 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: terms of percentages, but in terms of sheer numbers of people, 231 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 3: that was obviously tops nine million people. And clearly one 232 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 3: of the reasons is the cost of living people have 233 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 3: been But the problem is if people from California and 234 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: if they can do remote work, decide to go to 235 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 3: Texas because they've fed up with California's cost of living 236 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 3: and all the other problems we have. They make pretty 237 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 3: good salaries, so they bring them there to Texas and 238 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: they're like, Eh, that's a nice house. I'll don't pay 239 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 3: what you're asking, plus you know, X dollars, And that 240 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 3: hurts the poor local that's been there and doesn't make 241 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 3: one hundreds of thousands of dollars. Guy. 242 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: I remember over twenty years ago, friends of ours, they 243 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: had a couple of little kids, and we'd see him 244 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: in Manhattan Beach, which obviously is a nice place to live. 245 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: But you know what the homes are like in Manhattan Beach, right, 246 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: They're on a small pot plot of land. Most of 247 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: the homes take up every square inch of the land. 248 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: There isn't much in the way of yard space. Well, 249 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: they got transferred to Texas. He was in the oil industry. 250 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: They go to Texas, and holy Molly, the amount of 251 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: land that they had was. 252 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 3: But he probably bought a hefty salary with them. You 253 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: see what's happening. 254 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: Here, well, right, but he yeah, he had his California's 255 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: salary got him a relatively small plot of land in 256 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: an expensive neighborhood. He takes that salary to Texas and 257 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: he's got as far as the eye can see. 258 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: All right. 259 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: And because there's so much empty space in Texas, they 260 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,479 Speaker 1: have built these tremendous subdivisions, these housing developments where everybody's 261 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: got to make mansion at a relatively reasonable price, especially 262 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: compared to California. 263 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: And that's going to be the case in many states 264 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 3: besides Texas. You think about it, right, But because yeah, 265 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: well just you know, well, I keep reading stories that 266 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: you know, they're doing a story in North Carolina, people 267 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: can't afford homes. And here's another stat in the year 268 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, which is still with the whole pandemic, 269 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 3: app one hundred and eleven thousand people, three hundred a 270 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: day moved from California to Texas. That's kind of remarkable 271 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: when you think about it, even though we have a state 272 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: of forty million people. It doesn't sound like that much, 273 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: but still three hundred Californians a day moved to Texas, 274 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: just Texas alone. I remember we've done this show for 275 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 3: years and it was people moving to Nevada. Remember that 276 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 3: was a big that was a big choice. Zero income tax. Yes, 277 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: that is a big is a big draw for techs 278 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 3: into end Nevada. 279 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: They've had hundreds of thousands of people move from New 280 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: York and New Jersey to Florida. 281 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: Same thing, same thing, right, no state income. 282 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: Tax, much much more house and land for your money now. 283 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: And like, because what's happening in California is you start 284 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: feeling stupid, especially if you're doing well. It's like, why 285 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: am I giving up thirteen percent of my income to 286 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: the state? Yeah, you know, for and for well to 287 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: do people. That ends up being tens of thousands of 288 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: dollars every year. 289 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 3: Why would you do that? 290 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: So of course they're going to go to Texas and 291 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: now you can work remotely, and now Texas has a 292 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: booming tech industry and all kinds of booming industries. Right, 293 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: it's just this is becoming uninhabitable here. The taxation is 294 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: going to sink California's boat. But they'll they'll never give in, 295 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: they'll never admit to it, and we're. 296 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: Losing good people. Oh yeah, Now, the median listing price 297 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: in Texas in September here it is, this is a 298 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 3: state now about three hundred and eighty grand. You know, 299 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 3: at the median listing price in California in September was 300 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: seven hundred and sixty thousand, So that gives you an 301 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 3: idea of the gap and affordability there between the two states. 302 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 3: But you know, if you're somebody that could almost afford 303 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 3: a seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars house in California 304 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 3: and you take that money to Texas, where the median 305 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: price is only three seventy nine, it is John said, 306 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 3: you could buy five hundred thousand a really nice place. 307 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: But you're pushing out the locals. Who you know didn't 308 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 3: make the California type money. 309 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: Well, that's what happened in California years and years ago, right, 310 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: all the people that migrated here inflated the housing prices 311 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: along the coast. 312 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 3: It is true, right, people here complained right now. 313 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: That's you know, if you're in the working class, you 314 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: got to go beyond San Bernardino and Rivershire. 315 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: Out to Riverside, Hey, go out to the way out 316 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 3: in the Inland Empire, or even towards the Palm Springs area. 317 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: That's just that's the nature of a country where you 318 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: have freedom of movement, right, And that's why the states 319 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: are always in competition with each other. And you win 320 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: for a while, Texas and Florida are going to win. 321 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: At some point they're going to get overloaded and some 322 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: other state is going to look more attractive, but that'll 323 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: be the next generation. 324 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 3: It's like a bit of a run on San Antonio 325 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 3: area real estate. And one agent there said the competition 326 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 3: is fierce because buyers from states like California, Oregon, Washington. 327 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 3: Do you see a little trend here in New York 328 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 3: and Florida want to capitalize on the equity from their 329 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: homes there and get something that it's more modestly priced. 330 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 331 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 4: AM six. 332 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Forty Johnny Can on demand podcast. 333 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: Sometimes when you do that, I realize just how fast 334 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 3: you talk.

And that's the one 339 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: that's a long time coming to go after the dealers 340 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: of fentanyl who kill people fentel poisoning. We'll talk about 341 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 3: it and that'll come up after three o'clock. Matt Cappeluto's 342 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 3: coming back on the show. He lost his daughter to 343 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 3: fentanyl poisoning and it's been fighting this fight now for 344 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 3: a couple of years to try to get something passed, 345 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 3: and Sacramento to no avail. So they're going directly to 346 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 3: the voters that they can get the signatures and that'll 347 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 3: come up right after they was at three o'clock. Quick 348 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 3: remind you that we are still collecting calls for tomorrow's moistline. 349 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 3: You can use the iHeartRadio app, the microphone icon, or 350 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: call this toll free number one eight seven seven Moist 351 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 3: eighty six one eight seven seven six six four seven 352 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 3: eight eighty six. Well we're being blamed again. I remember, 353 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: years years ago, not that many years, but maybe thirty, 354 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 3: my sister lived in Oregon, right, doesn't live there anymore. 355 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: She did, and I came to visit her one time, 356 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: and I didn't live in California, and she told me, Uh, 357 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: we've had it with these California people. They're coming up here. 358 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 3: They're buying up homes, they're driving up real estate prices. 359 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: We see them with you because we can see the 360 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 3: license plates. Ah. Well, it's happening again, only this time 361 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 3: the place is Texas. The Wall Street Journal has done 362 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 3: a story called the Californiazation of the Texas housing market. 363 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 3: Migration from expensive states has pushed home prices out of 364 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 3: reach for many locals, making it in parts of Texas 365 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 3: a very hard market for first time buyers. One thing 366 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: that jumped out at me a couple of statistics in 367 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 3: this Wall Street Journal story. Between two thousand and twenty 368 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 3: twenty two, Germany people Texas gained in population over nine million. 369 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 3: That's like a stunning number. In that twenty two year period, 370 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 3: they added nine million residents. 371 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 2: Yes, holy crack it was. 372 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 3: It was the most. However, it was only the fourth 373 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 3: fastest growing state in terms of percentages, but in terms 374 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: of sheer numbers of people, that was obviously tops nine 375 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 3: million people. And clearly one of the reasons is the 376 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: cost of living people have been But the problem is 377 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 3: if people from California and if they can do remote work, 378 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 3: decide to go to Texas because they've fed up with 379 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 3: California's cost of living and all the other problems we have. 380 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 3: They make pretty good salaries, so they bring them there 381 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 3: to Texas and they're like, eh, that's a nice house. 382 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: Don't pay what you're asking, plus you know, X dollars, 383 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: And that hurts the poor local that's been there and 384 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 3: doesn't make one hundreds of thousands of dollars. 385 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: A guy I remember over twenty years ago, friends of ours, 386 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: they had a couple of little kids, and we'd see 387 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: him in Manhattan Beach, which obviously is a nice place 388 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: to live. But you know what the homes are like 389 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: in Manhattan Beach, right, They're on a small pot plot 390 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: of land. Most of the homes take up every square 391 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: inch of the land. There isn't much in the way 392 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: of yard space. Well, they got transferred to Texas. He 393 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: was in the oil industry. They go to Texas, and 394 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: holy moly, the amount of land that they had. 395 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 3: But he probably bought a hefty salary with them. You 396 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: see what's happening here. 397 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: Well, right, but he yeah, he had his SATs. California's 398 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: salary got him a relatively small plot of land in 399 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: an expensive neighborhood. He takes that salary to Texas and 400 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: he's got as far as the eye can see. 401 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 3: All right. 402 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: And because there's so much empty space in Texas, they 403 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: have built these tremendous subdivisions, these housing developments where everybody's 404 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: got to make mansion at a relatively reasonable price, especially 405 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: compared to California. 406 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 3: And that's going to be the case in many states 407 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 3: besides Texas. You think about it, right, But because yeah, 408 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: well just you know, I keep reading stories that you know, 409 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 3: they're doing a story in North Carolina people can't ford homes. 410 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: Here's another stat in the year twenty twenty one, which 411 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 3: is still with the whole pandemic crap. One hundred and 412 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 3: eleven thousand people, three hundred a day moved from California 413 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 3: to Texas. That's kind of remarkable when you think about it. 414 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 3: Even though we have a state of forty million people. 415 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: It doesn't sound like that much, but still three hundred 416 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 3: Californians a day moved to Texas, just Texas alone. I 417 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: remember we've done the show for years and it was 418 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 3: people moving to Nevada. I remember that was a big 419 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: that was a big choice. Zero income tax. Yes, that 420 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 3: is a big is a big draw for techs in Nevada. 421 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: They've had hundreds of thousands of people move from New 422 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: York and New Jersey to Florida. Same thing, same thing 423 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: right now in much much more house and land for 424 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: your money now. And like, because what's happening in California 425 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: is you start feeling stupid, especially if you're doing well. 426 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: It's like, why am I giving up thirteen percent of 427 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: my income to the state, you know, for and for 428 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: well to do people. That ends up being tens of 429 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars every year? Why would you do that? 430 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: So of course they're going to go to Texas and 431 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: now you can work remotely, and now Texas has a 432 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: booming tech industry and all kinds of booming industries. Right, 433 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: it's just this is becoming uninhabitable here. The taxation is 434 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: going to sink California's boat. 435 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: But they'll they'll never give in, they'll never admit to it. 436 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 3: And good people. Oh yeah, Now, the median listing price 437 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 3: in Texas in September here it is. This is a 438 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: state now about three hundred and eighty grand. You know, 439 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 3: at the median listing price in California in September was 440 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 3: seven hundred and sixty thousand, So that gives you an 441 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 3: idea of the gap and affordability there between the two states. 442 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 3: But you know, if you're somebody that could almost afford 443 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 3: a seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars house in California 444 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 3: and you take that money to Texas, where the median 445 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 3: price is only three seventy nine, it is, John said, 446 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 3: you could buy five hundred thousand a really nice place. 447 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: But you're pushing out the locals who you know, didn't 448 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: make the California type money. 449 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: Well, that's what happened in California years and years ago, right, 450 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: All the people that migrated here inflated the housing prices 451 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: along the coast It. 452 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 3: Is true, right, people here complained right now. 453 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: You know, if you're in the working class, you got 454 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: to go beyond San Bernardino and River out to Riverside. 455 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: Hey, you go out to the way out in the 456 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 3: Inland Empire, or even towards the Palm Springs area. 457 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: And that's just that's the nature of a country where 458 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: you have freedom of movement. And that's why the states 459 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: are always in competition with each other. And you win 460 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: for a while, Texas and Florida are going to win. 461 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: At some point they're going to get overloaded and some 462 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: other state is going to look more attractive, but that'll 463 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: be the next generation. 464 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 3: It's like a bit of a run on San Antonio 465 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 3: area real estate, and one agent there said the competition 466 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 3: is fierce because buyers from states like California, Oregon, Washington. 467 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 3: Do you see a little trend here in New York 468 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 3: and Florida want to capitalize on the equity from their 469 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: homes there and get something that's more modestly priced in 470 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 3: a place like San Antonio. 471 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 472 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 4: A M six forty. 473 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we got guests coming up after the 474 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 3: news at three o'clock about that ballot measure to do 475 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 3: something about the fentanyl dealers. So this has been kicking 476 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 3: around in Sacramento for far too long because the Public 477 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 3: Safety Committee people don't want to punish the fentanyl dealers 478 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: for poisoning people today. Anyway, it was that bill that 479 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 3: deals with you like a drunk driver. You get a warning. 480 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 3: Next time you do it, you could be charged with homicide. 481 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 3: So we're going to talk about it and we'll see 482 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 3: what progress has been made so far in getting it 483 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 3: out there for signature collecting. After the news at three o'clock, 484 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 3: you'll LOSTO have a chance next hour to win some money. 485 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: There is another keyword. They'll be passed on to you 486 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 3: at about three twenty, So stand by for that. And 487 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: I don't think you can get that money if you're 488 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: listening right now on the podcast hours from now right, John, 489 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: I don't think no. 490 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: No, no, no no, I have to do it right in 491 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 2: the moment there. 492 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 3: No, it's one of those things. 493 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: As soon as we get view the secret word, you 494 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: gotta text that word or that text word, send it 495 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: in on the website. 496 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: You have to enter it on the website. 497 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: Enter it on the website. 498 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 3: We mentioned this yesterday that in San Francisco there was 499 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 3: a story in the San Francisco Chronicle that some people 500 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 3: whose cars have been stolen, actually we're able to recover 501 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 3: their cars by following up on parking tickets. That's right 502 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 3: parking control. Parking control officers in San Francisco generally do 503 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 3: not compare the license plates of vehicles parked illegally to 504 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 3: databases of stolen cars, so they would ticket the car. 505 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: The ticket gets sent on to the owner who goes 506 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 3: So that's where it is. Yeah, this is really horrible. 507 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 3: If so, the mayor already acted. She signed an executive 508 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 3: order ordering what's called the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency 509 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 3: to stop ticketing stolen cars and notify their owners that 510 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 3: they have found the cars. 511 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: Did you see that this agency had ticketed twenty percent 512 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: of the two thousand vehicles stolen in September. 513 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, because the creeps had steelers sometimes just abandon them. 514 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: Twenty percent of the cars that get ticketed have been stolen. 515 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: That is just shocking. 516 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: And these stupid parking control officers don't simply check a database, immedia. 517 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: I mean that is a huge percentage. 518 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: You check a database and immediately see, oh this is 519 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: stolen and contact the owner. 520 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 3: Yes, you would think that would be the human thing 521 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 3: to do. 522 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean you've seen parking officers. I mean 523 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: we're talking riff raff here, okay, and their supervisors. None 524 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: of them said, wow, this is really this is really 525 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 1: terrible for those having their car stolen. 526 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: No, I don't care. 527 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: Just write it up, right, it up. I'm meeting the quota. 528 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm getting my percentage, getting my bonus. 529 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 3: She ordered the Transportation department of the police department to 530 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 3: work together to implement a system in which stolen cars 531 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: are identified and recovered. They have a forty five day 532 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: deadline to respond to the directive. She wants the whole 533 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 3: thing to be automated. Parking officers flagged if a car 534 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 3: is stolen before writing a ticket. How is it in 535 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 3: San Francisco, the center of technology technology, they don't have 536 00:28:54,800 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 3: a basic database connection between the stolen car list and 537 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 3: the traffic ticket crew. The chronicle story added, though, well, 538 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 3: it could be a while before the director becomes reality. 539 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 3: Because city laws govern the use of surveillance technology, such 540 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 3: as the license plate reader, it requires multiple reviews by 541 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 3: the city's Committee on Information Technology as well as a 542 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 3: sign off by a supervisoral committee and the full vote 543 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: of the Board of Supervisors. 544 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: Multiple reviews and a sign off and a full vote. 545 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 3: What is that about? Five hurdles to get a story? 546 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: Brings together all the nightmares of bureaucracy, idiot government people, 547 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 3: parking ticket people. 548 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: This is when I talk about, you know, government workers 549 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: being just a collection of clowns and idiots. 550 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: Well, not all of them, Yeah, all of them? 551 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: How about that? 552 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: All of them? Good lord? 553 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: There wasn't one person in the parking control unit, not 554 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: one in the police department, or in the supervisor's officers 555 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: or London Breed's office. Now one government worker who said, Wow, 556 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: this is really screwed up. Let's fix this. It's easy. 557 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: There's a guy named Frank Nato. He's president of Stop 558 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: Crime SF I guess some activist group. And he says, 559 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: a lot of car breaking crews, you know, because this 560 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: is a team, are using stolen cars or stolen license plates. 561 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people committing these crimes. It's 562 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: from a small group of people. If we can take 563 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: down a couple of crews, the numbers go way down. 564 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 3: But there you go. If it's always If that's true. 565 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: Then do it. Why don't the police do it? You 566 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: should be getting the same. But you know what's happening 567 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: is that if they get caught, they're being spun through 568 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: the system and there's no consequences. 569 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 3: They won't even go. 570 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: To jail with bail exactly, let alone a sentence. See, 571 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 1: they can fix a lot of this stuff. I know 572 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: they fix a lot of this stuff, but we need 573 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: we need like one guy with a Rudy Giuliani circa 574 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six attitude, the way he took out New York. 575 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 3: City had broken windows and all that. 576 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: That's yeah, yeah, and you could clean things up quickly 577 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: and dramatically because it's not complicated the things that you 578 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: have to do. 579 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 3: Y uh in a story and a story kind of 580 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 3: connected to this, and I think we covered this a 581 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 3: couple of months ago. They passed the law which was 582 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 3: I guess signed by Newsome that it Senate Bill three 583 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: point fifty seventy. He signed it last year, repealed the 584 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 3: law that danned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution. Well, 585 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 3: now we have the mayor of National City, which is 586 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: down in the San Diego area telling Fox News that 587 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 3: what's going on here, Well, there's nearly naked women wearing 588 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 3: only g strings over in front of traffic in my city. 589 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 3: They're waving to people on the freeway, or just to 590 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 3: be honest with you, they're bending over for the freeway. 591 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 3: I don't know how else to put it, but they're 592 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 3: showing their wares.
