1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: If I am six forty, you're listening to the John

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. After

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: four o'clock you go to the iHeart app for the

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: John and Ken on demand podcast. That's the whole show

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: all over again, and you could listen to everything you missed.

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a lot to get to this hour.

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 3: We'll talk about a poll that came out asked a

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: lot of questions of Californians, but the one that we're

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: going to focus on in there, we were kind of

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 3: waiting for reparations, how Californians feel about the idea and

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: Sacramento and San Francisco and too many places right now

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: that a lot of money should be paid out because

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: of America's history of slavery and tacked onto that America's

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: history involving the drug wars and people who were imprisoned.

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: So we get to all that coming up later on

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: this hour on The John and Kent.

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Show, we're going to talk out of Steve Molloy. Steve

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Molloy has written a fascinating piece in the Spectator and

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: it's about the climate hysteria that we lived through last

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: week when you had the wildfires in Canada, and the

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: weather pattern that was hovering over the northeast low pressure system,

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: high pressure system, the way it was arranged funneled winds

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: down through the Northeast and brought in much of the

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: smoke from the fires, and New York was choking in

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: the smoke, and so were many cities in many states

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: on the East coast. And then the wind changed direction

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: and it all went away, and then everybody stopped worrying

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: about climate change and the wildfires in Canada, and.

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, though, got into

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: a heated statement in parliament there about why they're not

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 3: doing anything about climate change and of course blaming these

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: wildfires on climate change, and well we threw them into

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: the dumpster for that, but to get more information. And

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: then this article that John mentioned in the American Spectator

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: as a Canadian wildfire hysteria debunked. And we'll get Stevon

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: now to talk about some of la Ti pointed out

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: in his article.

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: Steve, how are you hey?

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me back?

40
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: All right, So, what what was the role of climate

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: change in this or was this just part of a

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: pattern of fires that happened all the time in Canada.

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is just regular stuff. You know, Canadian wildfires

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: are natural, even in Canada. In Quebec, no one had

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: noticed these fires except the fact that the wind changed,

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: and sometimes that happens. It's happened throughout history. We know

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 4: that between the say, seventeen oh six and nineteen ten,

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: it happened at least eighteen times in North America. George

49
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: Washington noticed one of these occurrences in his diary in

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: May seventeen eighty. So this has happened before, it will

51
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: happen again. And you know, wildfires in general around the

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: world have dramatically declined over the years, including in Canada

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: and the US.

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Wait we stop right now.

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: Wildfires around the world have dramatically declined in the including

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: the US and Canada. Yeah, that is a fact that

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: is almost never uttered out loud in the media.

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: Right because you know, if they talk about this at all,

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: they will say, oh, wildfires have increased since the nineteen

60
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: seventies and nineteen eighties, and that's kind of true. And

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: that has happened. You know, there has been a slight

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: uptick because of all our green policies. So we don't

63
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: manage forests anymore. We don't log anymore, and so forrest

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: turned into tinder boxes. And you know, sometimes we just

65
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: have these out of control wildfires. But even at that rate,

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: it's much less than what was happened in ninety years ago,

67
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: in the nineteen thirties. So yeah, I mean, wildfires have

68
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: dramatically declined all over the world in Canada, and Canadian

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: government data show that they've been declining since nineteen eighties. Anyway,

70
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: despite the lousy forest management policy.

71
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: Why would they be declining so dramatically.

72
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know exactly. It could be fire suppression,

73
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: it could be you know, previous wildfires have burned things out.

74
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: I mean, it could be a combination of factors. It

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 4: wasn't even really particularly dry in Canada earlier this month

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: when the fires started, I mean, May was pretty normal

77
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: temperature wise and precipitation wise. So you know, these things

78
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: just happened, and they're always going to happen. You know.

79
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: The air apocalypse was, you know, something that we haven't

80
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: seen in the United States in a very long time,

81
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: but it has happened before, and you know, it can't.

82
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 3: Happen, and it seemed like it was you know, a

83
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: lot of it was lightning strikes and then as you mentioned,

84
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: the wind and these are just things that could happen

85
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: every now and then, but instead it was turned into

86
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: like the apocalypse in the United States and all his

87
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: finger pointing about what are we going to do about

88
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: the climate?

89
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's important for people to

90
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: understand that, you know, there is no natural disaster, no

91
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: type of natural disaster that correlates with either emissions or warming.

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 4: There's none. Not tornadoes, hurricanes, snow, heat waves, you name, earthquakes, no, no,

93
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: you name the natural disaster does not correlate with emissions

94
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: or warming.

95
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: That out here.

96
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: We got the whole thing about the drought. That's got

97
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: to be climate change.

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: You know, you used to have a drought yester.

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: That went not anymore. So now we're going to be

100
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: rained upon. Let's talk about what you also mentioned in

101
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: your article, that the the fine particulate matter and something

102
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: called two point five.

103
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is really my favorite part in the part

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: and part that interests me the most. So all the

105
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: doctors are on TV, you know, rating about how dangerous

106
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 4: the air is and don't breathe, don't go outside. I

107
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 4: EPA models you know, predict that in air like that,

108
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: the death rate will double. You know, the hospital should

109
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 4: be overflowing with asthma and respiratory patients. And of course,

110
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: guess what, none of that happened. And none of that

111
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: happened because particulate matter is just soot, innocuous carbon particles.

112
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 4: They're not allergens. They don't cause asthma, they don't trigger asthma. There,

113
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: you know, it makes for you know, ugly air and

114
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: not pleasant to breathe. But that's a lot different than

115
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: causing asthma causing death, as EPA predicted and all the

116
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: TV doctors warned, ustuff, Okay, there was you know, some

117
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: slight uptick in emergency room visits for asthma, just slightly,

118
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 4: And I just attribute that to, you know, all the

119
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 4: anxiety created by the media. You know, I'm asthmatic, and

120
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 4: I know that asthma can be triggered by anxiety. And

121
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: when you have the media just scaring the bejeebers out

122
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: of people, Yeah, people are going to go to the hospital.

123
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: That's what they did during COVID too. Yeah, people are

124
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: getting panic attacks watching CNN's coverage, right, Well, so what

125
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: you know what drives the hysteria. It's It's a lot

126
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: of individual decisions people have to make to go on

127
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: television and cover story a certain way and to comment

128
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: in a certain way and warn in a certain way.

129
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Is everybody just trying to get attention, driven by their

130
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: ego and and this is one of the roots that

131
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: we'll get you on TV for three minutes.

132
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. So I think with the lamestream media, you know,

133
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 4: they have the climate agenda that they're all pushing. So

134
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: I think they're all dedicated to that. You know, when

135
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: you watch like Fox and you see the TV doctors

136
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: go on and they start talking about how bad the

137
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: air is, I know that they don't know anything about

138
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: what to talk about. They don't know anything about PM

139
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: two point five because they're just regurgitating crap that you could,

140
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: you know, pick up in the New York Times for

141
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: Los Angeles Times. There's no I mean, I've spent thirty

142
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: years working on this, so I know what I'm talking about.

143
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: I know that they haven't, and so they don't know.

144
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: So they just, you know, they they google PM two

145
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: point five and get whatever EPA says, or the World

146
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: Health Organization or whatever, and see I know where all

147
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: this came from. I mean, EPA literally invented PM two

148
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: point five as a pollutant in the nineteen nineties. I

149
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: remember all the bad epidemiology, all the court I've been

150
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 4: in court with ep about this. I know there's been anybody.

151
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: These guys know nothing. They're not interested in learning anything.

152
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: They just want to get on TV and you know,

153
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: scare people.

154
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: And as you said, it's just simple soot.

155
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just simple soot. It's you know, it's.

156
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: But but the average person thinks if you breathe in,

157
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: if you breathe in too much soot, you're going to

158
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: have some kind of medical real well.

159
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, you know the air is ugly,

160
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: but you're really not breathing that much in. You know,

161
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: it's it's a lot less, a lot less than smoking. Okay,

162
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: that that terrible air in New York was a lot

163
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: less than a single cigarette. Okay. And when you think

164
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: about it, you know, with a cigarette if you smoke it,

165
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 4: or a joint, so I get, you know, most people

166
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: understand that better than cigarettes. When you smoke a joint,

167
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: you inhale deeply and goes deep in your lungs with

168
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: this kind of air, You don't, you know, you subconsciously

169
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: change your breathing pattern and you don't inhale it deeply.

170
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: It's just, you know, you breathe very shallowly. And you know,

171
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: it's not a great idea to do physical activity in

172
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: this type of wad because you won't be able to

173
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: breathe deeply. Your body wants to breathe shallowly. You're going

174
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: to try to breathe deeply, so you know you're going

175
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: to maybe raise your you know, blood pressure by doing

176
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 4: something like that. But just by itself, you know, that

177
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 4: kind of air is not a problem. Look, Los Angeles

178
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: had that kind of air all the time in the

179
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties, right, Okay, there was no

180
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: epidemic of asthma. There was no there was the body

181
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: The streets were not littered with dead bodies because particulate

182
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: matter itself is innocuous. Now, there are conditions under which,

183
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 4: you know, bad air can cause illness and death, but

184
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: you know, New York City did not experience that that

185
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: last week, and Los Angeles never experienced that in the

186
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: nineteen fifties nineteen sixties. Takes very specific conditions, all.

187
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 3: Right, Steve, thank you so much for talking to us.

188
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. Climate expert Steve Maloy, thanks for coming on.

189
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: Thank you.

190
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: All right.

191
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: He's of course talking about the Canadian wildfires and all

192
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: the hype last week that everybody was going to die

193
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: from the particulate matter that was in the air and

194
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: then from the wildfire and the wind changed and everybody

195
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: stopped talking about it.

196
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: It is not a story anymore though. I just looked

197
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: it up.

198
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: Apparently in the western part of the country there's still

199
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: quite a few fires burning, but the areas like Quebec

200
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: are dying much better.

201
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: It was two days of cool video of orange skies, yes,

202
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: and for that it's worth it being a news story

203
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: that was that was captivating to see orange skys. But

204
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: no nobody died.

205
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back.

Speaker 3: lunch at that Cuban restaurant.

220
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: He stopped at all that's said. That's really well, he's

221
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: bind votch never know could be adjour in that crowd. Yeah,

222
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: because he just decided to stop in there.

223
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: And whether he got invited or what was on his

224
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: way to catch his flight to head up to New

225
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: Jersey and do his whole press conference thing or not

226
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 3: speech he's going to make tonight from New Jersey following

227
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: this indictment. After twoint thirty, we will take a look

228
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: at the other side, and that is Hunter Biden, Joe

229
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: Biden and Barisma. And there is a pretty big development

230
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 3: the story, which of course is largely ignored by most

231
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: of the media that you will look at, but it

232
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: is worth mentioning in terms of possibly there are recordings

233
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: that mentioned bribes that went the Biden's way. We'll get

234
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: into that after the news at two thirty. I haven't

235
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: talked about reparations in a while. On the John and

236
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 3: Ken show Good. We had a poll that came out

237
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: Emerson College pulled Californians on a variety of topics. The

238
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: headline was that most think that Feinstein should resign. Kind

239
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: of a no brainer, that that would be the result

240
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: sixty three percent.

241
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: And then, of course it's the usual thing.

242
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: They asked people their approval ratings of various politicians in

243
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 3: the state of forty five percent for Newsom, thirty nine

244
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: percent disapproval. That's not exactly overwhelming. Now sixteen percent had

245
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: like no opinion of them. And then they asked about

246
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: what's the top issues in the state, and on and

247
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: on and on. But eventually, when you dig into this story,

248
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 3: you start to find something on a topic we've talked

249
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: about a lot this year, but.

250
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: Not much lately, and that's reparations.

251
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: Last month, the California Panel approved recommendations that could provide

252
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: up to one point two million dollars in payments per

253
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: black resident to address past injustices.

254
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: Half of California.

255
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 3: Voters percent or somewhat thirteen percent or strongly the seven

256
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: percent oppose the recommendations. So if you add strongly with somewhat,

257
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: you get the fifty percent that don't like this idea.

258
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: Only fifteen percent strongly supported, thirteen percent somewhat. So it's

259
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: fifty to twenty eight yes, because eighty two percent is

260
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: just stayed out of it.

261
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: Right, you have to.

262
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Choose a side, either the voting preparations or you're against it.

263
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: At least say somewhat something right, So you're somewhat in

264
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: favor of somewhat against.

265
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: But jus aside right, I don't get into some watch

266
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: and strongly. So it's like there's two questions on the ballot.

267
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: You're voting yesterday because there's some people that do the

268
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: On the other hand, thing, man, I can understand eventually issues.

269
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got a vote on it, that's right.

270
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: It's an up and down.

271
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Right, twenty two percent of neutral, so it's fifty to

272
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: twenty eight. And this is what we're telling you. There's

273
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: no constituency for this. There's no big constituency for this

274
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: at all. In fact, a friend of mine told me

275
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: the other day, he said, before I pay reparations, I'll

276
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: take my money out of the bank and burn it

277
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: in the street. Wow, I would say, I would say

278
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: that strongly against reparations.

279
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, there.

280
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: Is one constituency it's black voters seventy percent support the payments. Well,

281
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: there were only six percent of the state I think, so,

282
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: I know, but just said there wasn't a constituency.

283
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying there is.

284
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: If you look at the none demographics, none of them

285
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: in the poll, none of them were slaves. Nor were

286
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: any of the non blacks in California ever slaveholders.

287
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: So it's to.

288
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: Me, in California in twenty twenty three, it is a

289
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: non issue.

290
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: I guess some people just looked at it as.

291
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I can get money, all right, I'm gonna say

292
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: for that idea, there's that got to be a percentage

293
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: in there who heard about the one point two million

294
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: and said, well, I'm on board with that idea.

295
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: You know, if you think there's a movement where you're

296
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: going to get a multimillion dollar check in the mail,

297
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: sure yeah, you'd vote for that, But I'm not voting

298
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: to pay for it.

299
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: The only ones that were in favor of it by

300
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: age group are the eighteen to thirty four year olds.

301
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 3: It was close, though, forty well forty seven percent.

302
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: In face they'll they'll grow out of that. In fact,

303
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: did you see that much in taxes or have much responsibilities, right.

304
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this chart the other day.

305
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: I think I sent it to you about millennials their

306
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: politics moving right the older they get. They had a

307
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: series of graphs that show, you know, every five years

308
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: or show or so, there's like the millennials have moved

309
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: another eight percent to the right or eight percent more.

310
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: I mean, they're getting older. You're talking about just the

311
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: millennial group.

312
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: The millennial group, and then they divided them into oh,

313
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, five or ten year increments, maybe five

314
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: year increments, and the older you are. And this has

315
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: been true since the beginning of time. You just think

316
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: of the sixties hippies became the eighties Reagan supporters. People

317
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: grow more conservative, especially after the age of thirty five.

318
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, once people pass thirty five, they go much

319
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: more conservative. And I'm not talking about right wing wacko conservative.

320
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: What I'm talking about is suddenly look and say, WHOA,

321
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: what's this tax bight.

322
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: On living fiscally conservative.

323
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: It's physical case because they start to have responsibilities, paying bills,

324
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: paying mortgages, having children, and they realize that you can't

325
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: just give away and collect all the tax money you

326
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: want from people.

327
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: Thirty five is a great demarcation in life. You look

328
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: around and you and your spouse are either on a

329
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: career path or you're not.

330
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: Either got married or you didn't.

331
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: Right, Most people are working at a career or at

332
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: least a steady job. Most people are married or in

333
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: some kind of committed relationship. And most people, especially women,

334
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: if they're going to have kids, they've had them, because

335
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: once you get past thirty five, physically it gets more difficult.

336
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: To have them, but it's a harder it's a harder issue.

337
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: So thirty five is the age where people look at

338
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: by then, they bought a house, by then, they have

339
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: a couple of cars. By then, they may be paying

340
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: for school, and they're looking at their taxes and they're

341
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: trying to build their retirement plan. It's not twenty five.

342
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: Seeing twenty five, you can have all kinds of stupid, wild,

343
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: ass idiotic ideas. Thirty five you can't have them any

344
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: more because it's going to cost you. And the clock's

345
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: already ticking. And so it's happening to the the the

346
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: uh Millennials, like it happened to every other generation. It's

347
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: called maturity, it's called growing up, becoming an adult.

348
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: It with these people who wake up this poll so

349
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: so that people are quite concerned about Sacramento doing something

350
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: about fentanyl. But we've covered this story enough to tell

351
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 3: you the Public Safety Committee and Sacramento is not interesting

352
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: doing anything about fentanyl.

353
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: Oka.

354
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: They don't want to send anybody to prison any more,

355
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: terms being added more prison time.

356
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: What was the percentage on the fenel is at like

357
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: a seventything percent? Yeah right, yes, yeah, okay, Well, if

358
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: if seventy two percent wants something done on fentin Hil

359
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: in the legislature, then.

360
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: You have to vote that way.

361
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: Make your vote dependent on how your representative is going

362
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: to approach Fentinhil and have them force out all these

363
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: whack jobs on the Assembly and Senate Public Safety Committee,

364
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: because that could be done in about five minutes.

365
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: All right, we got more coming up. Johnny Ken KFI

366
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: AM six forty. We're live everywhere iHeartRadio WIP.

367
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 5: And you're listening to John and Ken on demand from

368
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.

369
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 3: Well, of course, big story today is the indictment to

370
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: former President Trump in Miami, Florida. You got indicted really

371
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: officially arranged?

372
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: What did that happen?

373
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: No, mug shot, but he was fingerprinted. They took down

374
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: his security number and birthdate. No mug shot because apparently

375
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: there's lots of Trump pictures on file already.

376
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: They didn't know how much do the lawyers beg to

377
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: skip the bug shot?

378
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: Because because Trump doesn't want this in campaign.

379
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: Ads against him, or as you've pointed out many times,

380
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: this is good for him to show his fierce followers

381
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: what they're doing to him. I think his ego wins

382
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: out to make it real. Look at that there's a

383
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: mug shot.

384
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to see his face in a mug

385
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: shot twenty four hours a day for the next year

386
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: and a half.

387
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: So the thing I've been saying is that it's a

388
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: box of documents.

389
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: Sorry, I realized some of it was highly classified secrets

390
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: since against laws, against the law, but I'm looking for

391
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: good old fashioned stuff. What we're talking about is real corruption, bribes. Well,

392
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: that brings us to the bidens. And I think I

393
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: can quote David Muir, the anchor at ABC News, that

394
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: John calls the underwear model it's.

395
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: A bombshell, a bombshell.

396
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 3: Which he would say all the time during COVID and

397
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: the Trump presidency.

398
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: There's always a bombshell.

399
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: Well, this story is actually not new. They were looking

400
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: into this as far back as twenty twenty. You know,

401
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden earned up to a million dollars a year

402
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: from twenty fourteen to twenty nineteen when he served on

403
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: the board of Barisma, which is a natural gas company

404
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: in Ukraine. He had no relevant energy industry experience. No,

405
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: here's a crid during those years. What was Biden doing?

406
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: Joe was vice president. Joe even met with a Barisma

407
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: executive at a DC dinner in April of twenty fifteen,

408
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: and of course that we knew too, came out of

409
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 3: the Hunter Biden laptop story. The development now is that

410
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 3: there was supposedly somebody, a Ukrainian official who used to

411
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: be with Borisma, who has recordings of conversations with Hunter Biden,

412
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: fifteen of them and two with Joe Biden. The man

413
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 3: who's bringing this up is US Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

414
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: The last time we ran it to him, we thought

415
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: he was gonna stop the Garcetti nomination India.

416
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: Remember that he gave it a good run. He gave

417
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: it a good run.

418
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: He says that this businessman has kept these audio recordings

419
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: is insurance in case he got into his own trouble,

420
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: he would have this to deleverage. Now, the claim here

421
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: is that then Vice President Joe Biden Hunter and Joe

422
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: they got five million dollars apiece to serve the interests

423
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: of the Barisma Holdings owner, a guy by the name

424
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: of Mikola Ziochewsky is his name. This is coming from

425
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: an internal memo from a highly credible whistleblower. It was

426
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: created in twenty twenty based off information from a highly

427
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: paid FBI informant that details this alleged arrangement for the

428
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: exchange of money for policy decisions.

429
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: The whistleblower reported what he knew a few years ago,

430
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: and then it's been sitting in the FBI files ever since.

431
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: Yes, and so the.

432
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: Head of the House Oversight Committee, the chairman, James Comer,

433
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: subpoenaed the FBI subpoena the director Christopher Ray and said

434
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: you turn over that document or we're going to charge

435
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: you with contempt. And then Ray could end up in jail.

436
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: And there was a big go round. But the Ray

437
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: was cornered. When when the House issues you a subpoena,

438
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: as the old joke goes. It's not a suggestion, you're compelled,

439
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: and if you don't follow through, then.

440
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: You're you're up, you're liable for jail.

441
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: So they compromised where Ray allowed Comer and other members

442
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: of the committee, and interestingly, only the Republicans went. The

443
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: Democrats don't want to see it, which I found funny.

444
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: They don't want to know. They want to pretend I

445
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: don't know of any such thing.

446
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: Our guys are never corrupt, never zbby Trump, and Republicans

447
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: want the way we are now.

448
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you want to see it? Though?

449
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: They want some kind of plausible deniability that they don't

450
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: really know what's going on, right.

451
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: So if they don't see it, it may not exist. They

452
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: can't be accused of covering it up.

453
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: Oh I see. I don't know how these people think,

454
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: but I me, I'd go in there. I'd want to

455
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: know either way, right, I'd want to see if it

456
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: looks credible or not, see how much trouble we're gonna

457
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: have to deal with. So, because the Republicans have the

458
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: majority on the committee, so they could compel this sort

459
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: of thing, and they're going to keep doing that, And

460
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, to have a good defense, you it's good

461
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: to know what the other guys are doing on offense, right,

462
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: So it really does exist, and the Republicans are saying

463
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: it's credible, and now you have this, they're they're the

464
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: the these tape recordings and and I think the way

465
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: the scam I think when all if, if the truth

466
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: comes out, you'll see the way the scam worked is

467
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: that Joe was in on this, but he didn't do

468
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: most of the communications. Hunter did the negotiations. Hunter and

469
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: Jim Biden, Joe's brother, collected the money, and then they

470
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: had the money distributed to I think a dozen different

471
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: Biden family members apparently.

472
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: Saw that laid out in May when the House members

473
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 3: were showing us all sorts of charts about all the

474
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: Biden family members who got money.

475
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: Mysteriously, all these isolated stories are connected. Okay, So Jim

476
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Biden and Hunter Biden were the bagmen the rest of

477
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: the Biden family. The checks were forwarded to their accounts

478
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: because this is what you're doing, money launching, This is

479
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: what you do when you're spreading around illegal money. And

480
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: Joe probably there was a series of murky transactions that

481
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: would be difficult to tie directly to him because The

482
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: whole point of this was protect the big guy. Don't

483
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: implicate Joe, Right, he's the vice president. He wants to

484
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: run for president, so let's work around it. Just make

485
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: sure at the end of this all of this, Joe

486
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: has a hefty retirement package that he could sit on.

487
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: And you know that's what they're going to find.

488
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: And then we're going to see another level of corruption,

489
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: whether anybody is going to press charges on this.

490
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 3: And recarivery allegation comes from twenty seventeen, but the informant

491
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: file read by the House lawmakers last week was created

492
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 3: by the FBI in June of twenty twenty after a

493
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: tip received fresh attention. Now several Republicans of the document

494
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: accuses the Bidies are getting paid a total ten million

495
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 3: dollars in twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen in exchange for

496
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 3: the then Vice president advocating the ouster of this Ukian

497
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 3: prosecutor general. Remember this story, Yeah, Joe Biden actually bragged

498
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 3: about that once.

499
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: Well, Victor Choken is the prosecutor and he was looking

500
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: into the Barisma company, right, and so they needed Joe

501
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: Biden as the Vice president of the United States to

502
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: exert pressure on the Ukrainian government, which is was has

503
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: historically been corrupt for decades, ever since they were freed

504
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: from the grasp of the Soviet Union. It's just been

505
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: one corrupt government after the other. And that's what.

506
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: That's what.

507
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: Remember, Trump got impeached because he made calls, Yes, the

508
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: perfect phone call. He made the calls Ukrainian President Zelenski.

509
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what he was telling what he was telling

510
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: him is like, hey, why don't you come clean with

511
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: what you have on Joe Biden and do it now

512
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: while we got a campaign going on.

513
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: It's all this is connected. It's all the same story.

514
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: And for all of you who care about this other part,

515
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: because it came up a lot today with the indictment

516
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 3: of Trump. What about Joe Biden and the documents that

517
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: were founded in a Delaware home. There is an investigator,

518
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 3: a special counsel, a different guy in the name of Robert Hurr,

519
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: who was investigating Biden's handling of the classified documents that

520
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 3: may end up being nothing. It may not be, because

521
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: it seems to be different circumstances than what Trump. Seems

522
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: to be more aware of the documents and making sure

523
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 3: they were found. I was thinking of that because there

524
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 3: was two separate Those are separate charges that Trump got.

525
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: Trump got charged for having all the documents right, and

526
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 3: then Trump got charged with basically obstruction of justice and

527
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 3: lying to FBI officials not handing over the documents. So,

528
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: while it is a different case in that Trump really

529
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: put up a clear obstruction, Biden still had these documents

530
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: and some of them go back fifty years to when

531
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: he was a senator.

532
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: All right, so it's.

533
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: It's going to be selective prosecution. If he doesn't get

534
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: charged with the possession of the documents.

535
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 2: Could be all right. We got more coming up.

536
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: Johnny Ken can if I Am six forty live of

537

540
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: Well, we have breaking news on the John and Ken Show.

541
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 3: Another council member may be biting the dust. Current Price

542
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: has been charged with embezzlement and perjury ten counts, five

543
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 3: counts of grand theft by embezzlement, three counts of perjury,

544
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: two counts of conflict of interest. I had heard rumors

545
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: that he was going to be the next one. This

546
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: is coming from the only County DA's office too. This

547
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 3: does look like this is a federal case. How about that.

548
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 3: But of course we already know about the unit city

549
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: council members involved in.

550
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: He used to take shots at us years ago.

551
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: I was waiting for him to get all the guys

552
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: that used to have problems issues with us. They're all

553
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: marching off to prison now, like Ridley Thomas.

554
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: It says here he was the subject of concerns and

555
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen it was revealed that he had cast votes

556
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: on items that could affect clients of a consulting company

557
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 3: owned by.

558
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 2: His wife, del Richardson's.

559
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 3: The Times reported that Price voted on decisions involving at

560
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: least ten companies in the same years they were listed

561
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 3: as providing at least ten thousand dollars in income to

562
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 3: Del Richardson's and associates.

563
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 1: He would be the fourth fourth councilman going down prison

564
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: in the last few years. Fourth one pose Wesar, Margaret Lee, Thomas,

565
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: Mitch Englander and yeah, and our current price. And then

566
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: you had what's her name get involved in that audio

567
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: scandal with the Nerry Martinez, Neuri Martinez, Kevin and Kevin

568
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: Dally owned.

569
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: And then Gilsidell left to glide left. My god, that

570
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: but that's seven of them.

571
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: Seven.

572
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: It's only a fifteen member council, right, and then you

573
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: had Mike Bonnet bounced that office.

574
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: That's eight. Wow.

575
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: A Price spokesperson said in twenty nineteen that neither the

576
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: council member nor his wife had been indefitted financially from

577
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: the votes initially identified by the La Times.

578
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

579
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: The spokesperson said Price, it's never cost a vote thinking

580
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: of his wife or his wife's financial interests.

581
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, say what you have to say.

582
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is not tied into the developer scandal.

583
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 3: This is something else. Oh, he had his own his

584
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: his own racket going on on the side. I'd heard

585
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: stuff about swirling about him for a lot of years.

586
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: M all right, so we'll keep an eye on criminals.

587
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: For some reason, the city of Los Angeles elects mostly

588
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: criminals UH and and lunatics to office.

589
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: And then they wonder why why the city is a disaster?

590
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: Like what do you people do on the on the

591
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: uh on the first Tuesday in November?

592
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: What do you do?

593
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: What do you you just say?

594
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: Watch who is who is the biggest criminal on this list?

595
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: Who is the biggest cycle, Who's going to steal the

596
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: most money. Who's going to be the most corrupt he's

597
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: my guy?

598
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: The hell? How or do only criminals run?

599
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of extreamists, the White House is condemning and basically banning.

600
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: I mean, this is what happens when you want to

601
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: go over the top and be involved. Of course, June

602
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: is Pride Month, and I didn't even know this, but

603
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: apparently on Saturday, the White House had a Pride Month

604
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: event with Joe Biden at attendance. Well, one of the

605
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: people there was a what it's a transactivist by the

606
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 3: name of Rose Montoya, somebody who was biologically a male

607
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: and transitioned to female and apparently exposed to her fake breasts. Yeah,

608
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: video that was posted to social media. She had a

609
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 3: social media influencer.

610
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: She had just.

611
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: Met Biden and she's standing there in the White House

612
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: grounds and she's.

613
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: Flapping her she pulled down the top of her Well,

614
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 3: they're fake. You can't take enough hormones to grow anything.

615
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: Or because some men have passed, right, I mean, they.

616
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: Don't know these things, and I don't want to know,

617
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: and I really resent. I was like one of the

618
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: first things I saw this morning before i'd eat and breakfast,

619
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: before I.
