Speaker 2: considering running for president in twenty top four, twenty twenty eight,

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: Not even considerably, Not at all.

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: This election is a choice about life and death. We

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: didn't defeat trump Ism. This is the most consequential election.

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: They choose that as they self fear around crime, they

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: self come around these perverse gun laws.

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,319
Speaker 3: What we've got right now is not working and it's

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: about to break.

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: Look at the sewage that.

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: Is online that they amplify on these networks and in

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: social media to dehumanize people.

15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: This whole damn border debate is made up.

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 4: That's how extreme the Republican Party is in the United

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: States of America.

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: It's time to organize, guys, bottom up, not just top down.

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Republicans have been organized and bottom up forever. Where the

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: hell are we as a party to capture the narrative?

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: I honestly, I were offering political advice, I'd tell him

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: to pack up and wait a few years.

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: I never trust politicians, so I get why would keep asking?

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: So when I see you in Iowa in twenty twenty three.

25
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 5: I will play this for you.

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: The answer South Carolina. I'm gonna where what else I know?

27

Speaker 4: President desk. Gavin Newsom maybe sort of running for president.

29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 4: Well maybe Gavin Newsom not running for president desk.

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: That's alloy in title it is.

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 6: Well, you know, there's a lot of confusion around a

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 6: man who speaks in riddles?

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: Is he not tech riddles? Tech riddles?

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the Johnny Kent Show, John Covell and Ken

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: Champell KFI AM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: app on the radio from one till four after four

Speaker 2: on the app, you can get Johnny Kent on demand.

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: That's our podcast and hear everything he missed.

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 6: Somebody sent the story or some audio yesterday. They were

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 6: very excited. They said, you should see what's in it.

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 6: The person says, period, full stop.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Up, it's catching on.

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 6: But actually he's barred a lot of this from the

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 6: tech world. I don't think Newsome made up these stupid

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 6: flywheel and meet the Moment and all this. He has

46
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 6: more in this space. Yes, it's all stolen from the

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 6: tech world. He doesn't have his own original thought. He

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 6: doesn't he just adopted this because he thinks it's cool. Yeah,

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 6: makes some sound really smart and connected to the.

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Tech world, and also makes him his thought process opaque.

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: You don't really know what he's saying, and that's by

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: design because he doesn't know what he's saying, so he

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: throws out words that make him sound intelligent to tech intelligent.

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: But actually there's no content. It's empty calories there.

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, and what should go viral in that opening guest

56
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 6: clip is the border is a made up story. Yeah,

57
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 6: that is the millions that have come into the country

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 6: with Biden's been president. That's made up, isn't it.

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: The meantime, the legislature is debating giving a unemployment benefits

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: to all the illegal aliens that are pouring into California

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: after crossing the border.

62
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: So that's already sinking like a rock among people.

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that would be highly unpopular. Well, do's

64
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: some come out against it. I heard somebody say that

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: on a newscast this morning.

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I did not see that.

67
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 6: It's a bill and Sacramento, but I did not see

68
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 6: if he has an official position, I'll look into that.

69
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 6: We are talking about him concerning a different bill and

70
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 6: we do find him to be, as usual, a fake

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 6: and a photy and a fraud. Because California has adopted

72
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 6: this system that of course many question, which is all

73
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 6: mail in ballots. That's that's the way it's been. The

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 6: legislature voted on it all the elections. You're gonna get

75
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 6: a ballot of the mail. You can go vote in

76
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 6: person if you want to, but you have the option

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 6: to vote by mail in every election, and we do

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 6: believe that opens up to a lot of ballot harvesting.

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: It's mostly the problem there. So the reason he's a

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: fraud is that he's.

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 6: Signed a bill ABE one thirteen, which eliminates vote by

82
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 6: mail in elections by farm workers for the possibility of

83
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 6: union certification, which is strange, doubly confusing, doublely confusing that

84
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 6: after inflicting mail in ballots on California's election process, he

85
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 6: won't let the farm workers have mail in ballots for

86
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 6: their union certification.

87
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: And he's citing against a union and with the farm corporations.

88
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 6: So we got to go back in time for this

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 6: because this was an issue last year where he did

90
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 6: eventually allow for one year the mail in ballots, but

91
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 6: when he vetoed the bill and wanted to veto the bill.

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 6: He said he could not support an untested mail election

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 6: process that lacks critical provisions to protect the integrity of

94
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 6: the election.

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: Huh, this is for the farm workers, Yeah, isn't that

96
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: what a lot of people said about the overall idea

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: of mail in ballots the integrity of the elections. And

98
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: by the way, that's a relatively tiny number of people

99
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: farm workers compared to the entire state of California voting. Right,

100
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: you talk about a little niche subset. So how come

101
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: he can't trust how a little tiny farm workers election,

102
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: we'd go, but he can trust tens of millions of

103
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: ballots in this state.

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: And maybe he's too close.

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 6: To whoever he owns these wineries. Do they not have

106
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 6: farm workers out there grabbing the grapes and stuff?

107
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: Somebody's yeah, I don't think he's picking the grapes.

108
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: He just drinks it.

109
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: Well, I thought they were going to mechanize a lot

110
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: of that, but I guess he can't do that any crops.

111
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: You've always got to have some workers out there.

112
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 6: Well, this, I didn't know. There are more than eighty

113
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 6: thousand farms in California and the UfW that's United Farmworkers

114
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 6: Labor Union has actually less than thirty of them under

115
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 6: collective barting agreements.

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: That's it.

117
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 6: It appears from the stories we're reading that most of

118
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 6: the farm workers don't want to join the union, and

119
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 6: the idea of them being able to vote by mail

120
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 6: is that they avoid some of the pressure that they

121
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 6: often feel to vote for union certification. They have something

122
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 6: called the card check system, in which labor organizers can intimidate, coerce,

123
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 6: or threat retaliation.

124
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: Against farm workers for their vote. Yeah, unions are generally bullying.

125
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: I even went through this once in my life, tried

126
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: to union people tried to force me to join one

127
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: when I was working for a newspaper. And they're all

128
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: the same. It could be auto workers, farm workers, newspaper writers.

129
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: They're all bullies. The people who run the unions or

130
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: organized for the unions, or they cheerlead and they get

131
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: angry if you don't salute and go along.

132
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: There's a simple reason for that.

133
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 6: Unions don't work unless they have a majority of the

134
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 6: people in the union. They've got to get people to join.

135
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 6: That's why they put so much pressure of half don't join.

136
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 6: The union has a lot less power and has more

137
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 6: power numbers, so they have to be very coercive. So

138
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 6: it says on these stories, under the card check process,

139
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 6: union organizers can actually approach the farm workers in person

140
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 6: and ask them to sign a card representing their vote

141
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 6: for the union, and that seems to open up the.

142
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: Door to a lot of intimidation.

143
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: Of course, are are you going to check no for

144
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: uniononization when you've got some big stinking bully staring at you?

145
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially a farm worker. I mean these a lot

146
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: of these guys are not here legally, obviously, So did

147
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: he go back and bow to.

148
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: The unions on this decision to not let these farm

149
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: workers vote by mail that they have to go back

150
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: to this card check system, which it says the bill

151
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: will limit the number of card check elections to seventy

152
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: five and gives the union to January first, twenty twenty eight,

153
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: deadline to hold them.

154
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: But it just seems really.

155
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: Body to say that it's okay for all of us

156
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: to have a complete vote by mail system for all

157
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: of our elections in California and then to single out

158
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: the farm work because now don't want to do with that.

159
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: Unions contribute mightily his campaign he's not thinking.

160
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: He just looks at who contributes.

161
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: Oh you think this is more money for his run

162
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: for presidents? That's all he cares about. All he cares

163
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: about is donations to his campaigns. This is not his

164
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: last stop. In his mind, this is he hasn't had

165
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 2: his last campaign. He's going to be running for stuff.

166
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: He's relatively young. I mean he's you know, probably what

167
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: twenty five years younger than Biden. Oh yeah, he could

168
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: have a lot of campaigns left in him. And you

169
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: start pissing off unions. You piss off one union, maybe

170
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: you've pissed off all the unions. And it's not like

171
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: they're going to go back a Republican candidate. It's that

172
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: they're going to back other Democrats and you won't be

173
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 2: able to fight your way out of a primary. So yeah,

174
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: so's he's kissing union ass here.

175
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 6: Apparently the farm workers did have some protests and one

176
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 6: of them was, oh I do remember we mentioned this

177
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 6: on the O.

178
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: They marched to the French laundry restaurant. That's a good one.

179
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: He ought to be reminded of that every day of

180
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: his life. We're a newsome.

181
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: Of course, was maskless with the lobbyists during the height

Speaker 1: that chase was.

202
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,480

00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you have a chase in Manhattan? How

00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,920

Speaker 1: But I I had a chase.

208
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,080

Speaker 6: wrong way on one way streets in New York or

213
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 6: something to try to catch up or cut through or whatever.

214
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 6: But I because they to me, you're right, I see

215
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 6: there's a cry for attention.

216
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: You wait, your mother dies in a tragic car crash

00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: their stupid picture.

00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand.

223
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: They take a picture of these two every day, every day.

224
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: These guys solicit publicity, So let them have their picture.

225
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: What are you running from? They came out of this

226
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: is the life you chose an.

227
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 6: Event called the Women of Vision Awards, right, but this

228
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 6: is around ten o'clock last night, and a bunch of

229
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 6: photographers were blocking them, so it said in the end,

230
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 6: they arrived at their destination. No collisions, no summons is,

231
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 6: no injuries, and no arrest.

232
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: If you stay home and you watch television or read

233
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: a book, you're not gonna have paparazzi chasing you. You

234
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 2: decide to go to some high profile event in New

235
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: York City after the ruckus you've created over the last

236
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: year begging for attention. Did anybody watch that dopey Netflix series?

237
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: I didn't even look or they promoted that heavily. And

238
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: then I remember, like the some writers were covered in

239
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: the first episode, and then I heard it got boring

240
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: and my wife watched it for maybe twenty minutes, and

241
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 2: I was in the room. I thought it was excruciating because,

242
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: you know what, the two of them are stupid.

243
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: They aren't They're stupid people.

244
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Harry is a brick and she's a wanna

245
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: be Kardashian.

246
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: There's nothing going on there. Oh yay, No.

247
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: Really, there's nothing going on in there. You know, we

248
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: won a war about two hundred and fifty years ago

249
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: to not care about these guys, right.

250
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.

251
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people died, so we didn't

252
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: have to deal with royalty ever.

253
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: Again.

254
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 6: All right, Now back in the real world. We covered

255
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 6: this story last year and there's an update on it.

256
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: It's West Hollywood.

257
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 6: West Hollywood decided, you know, this is defund the police mentality.

258
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 6: They were going to cut back on La County Sheriff's

259
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 6: deputies patrolling.

260
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: Their town and replace them with ambassadors.

261
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: That's right. Ambassadors.

262
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: You know, they would wear the little vasta or whatever

263
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: says ambassador, and they're out there to try to.

264
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Keep the peace.

265
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it, but ambassadors are capitalized. It's an

266
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: official group. Yes, I've seen this in the news stories

267
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking at. It's the Ambassadors with the capital A.

268
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: I wish is that's the ambassadorship that Garcetti got. That

269
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: would have been a great joke.

270
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 6: Yes, you have been confirmed as ambassador in West Hollywood

271
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 6: to patrol the states.

272
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: That's right, you go up to homeless people and try

273
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: to get them to go indoors. Well, there's been a

274
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: change of heart. Here's the story from ABC seven reporter Sheila.

275
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,359
Speaker 7: Gerardan overnight, another break in along the streets of West Hollywood.

276
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 7: Thieves smashing in a window at this dispensary and taking

277
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 7: off with a large amount of goods. Another example of

278
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 7: why locals are pushing for safer streets.

279
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 3: I've lived here forty years and the city really has

280
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 3: never felt this unsafe. And we've gone through long periods

281
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: where the city you could walk your dog at midnight,

282
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: and now people just feel like they have to stay

283
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: at home.

284
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: People feel prisoners in their own home.

285
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 7: At last night's meeting, a city council voted to approve

286
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 7: four new positions for the West Hollywood Sheriff's Department.

287
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: Really, I mean why not.

288
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: I feel like it's always better to have like extra safety.

289
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 7: Locals we spoke with say, while they feel safe in

290
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 7: West Hollywood, they're glad to see more manpower on the streets.

291
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: I live right next to like a school, like an elementary,

292
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: and I feel like just having like extra safety it

293
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: doesn't hurt.

294
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 8: Sometimes there's like people like sad lead, like you know,

295
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 8: experiencing homelessness.

296
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite parts in West Hollywood.

297
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 8: So there's always safety ambassador, So I feel pretty safe.

298
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 7: Last summer, the city planned to remove several Sheriff's deputy's

299
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 7: positions in order to launch the Security Ambassador program. The

300
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 7: unarmed ambassadors work across the city in collaboration with the

301
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 7: Sheriff's department, but after recent break ins, including this armed

302
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 7: robbery at a local restaurant last month, many locals have

303
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 7: said it's simply not enough.

304
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 8: Seeing my staff crying coming to work and not being

305
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 8: able to feel safe in this city. It makes me

306
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 8: responsible to be here in front of you and ask

307
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 8: you for We don't need blog by block ambassadors through

308
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 8: the streets to solve crime crime. We need more police

309
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 8: officers going through our streets.

310
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 7: You can see from this sign out here the store

311
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 7: is temporary closed. Still no word on when they'll reopen.

312
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 7: As for those four positions, counselors also said they'll consider

313
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 7: adding another deputy's position in the future.

314
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: There you go. It's from ABC seven, So it took me.

315
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: Let me see, unarmed ambassadors are of no use for

316
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: armed robbers. Is that the message of that story?

317
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 8: Wow?

318
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, time we covered this story.

319
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 6: But it was a guy that was frustrated because there's

320
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 6: like some massive fight going on. The ambassador's kind of

321
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 6: just stood there observing, and eventually they called somebody because

322
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 6: they're not called the police anywhorey are you going to

323
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 6: take on armed criminals who are who are trashing some

324
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 6: retail shop if you don't have a gun on you.

325
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 6: The theory was that there's some kind of determin no,

326
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 6: because they're walking around with their ambassador shirts on and

327
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,359
Speaker 6: no to make you know that their eyes watching.

328
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: You do anything. It's not a theory. It's just hatred

329
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: of police.

330
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 6: But the other side of this was they're supposed to

331
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 6: be and that's why they called them this weeny name ambassadors.

332
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 6: They're supposed to just keep the peace and try to

333
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: make the Kennedy members all get along.

334
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: That's never worked in the history of mankind. You have

335
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: to have a weapon for leverage to get your way.

336
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: Anybody who wants to win has to have a weapon

337
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: of some kind. If you don't have a weapon, you

338
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: have no leverage. The other guys have a weapon, they win,

339
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: they steal the stuff, and they kill you. So you

340
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: got to equalize the playing field. That's just just basic

341
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: evolutionary one on one survival. If you don't adapt and

342
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: have a weapon like your adversary, then you are dead

343
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: and gone.

344
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: And he continues on, but I don't see in this

345
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: story that they got eighty five of them. It doesn't

346
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: say if they voted to cut back the ambassadors. They're

347
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: going to add four sheriff's deputies, But are they going

348
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: to cut back? And I don't even know if they

349
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: do they work for free? I don't think they do.

350
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: Do they? I doubt no? I think they paid.

351
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the story from when was this? This

352
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: was from June of last year when they decided to

353
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: cut back. Rebalance, that's what they called it. Oh, that's

354
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: a good way, were rebalancing. They weren't cutting public safety.

355
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: They were just taking money from the police and investing

356
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: it in ambassadors. And listen to these quotes. This is

357
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: rich one idiot council member named John Demico. There was

358
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 2: a lot of discussion about defunding public safety, which is

359
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 2: exactly what we didn't do. The increase in public safety

360
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 2: services is not a cut. It's a rebalance of a

361
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: lopsided system focused on arrests instead of safety, giving the

362
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 2: sheriffs more time during their days to fight and work

363
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: on crime. While our security ambassadors, our security ambassadors help

364
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 2: our homes population, provide assistance and security at a more

365
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: personal level. Except they don't do any good when a

366
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: bunch of criminals show up with guns and bash in

367
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: the front glass of a re retail store tasted.

368
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 6: The last year is crime has only gotten uglier, and

369
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 6: that's why the residents said, look.

370
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: Bring back the cops. So are you kidding me?

371
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: Listen to this Jamico character, John Demico. In my mind,

372
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: this is an increase of safety services with sixty additional

373
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: eyes on the street. Eyes don't stop crime. Guns do.

374
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: And then listen to this.

375
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: The mayor at the time, Sepi Shine, rejected the idea

376
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: that fewer armed officers means less safety. The safety of

377
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: our residents and businesses have always been a top priority

378
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: for my colleagues and I.

379
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: Monday night, we.

380
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: Took action to redistribute our public safety funds in a

381
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: way that makes sense for our community needs and in

382
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 2: fact adds over twenty six new positions to our reimagined

383
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: public safety team.

384
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: All the buzzers we're balancing and reimagined it.

385
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: Rebalancing, redistributing, redistricting. I can't say that word retributing and

386
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 2: whatever that word is play in reimagining, reimagined it. It's

387
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: read this, read that, re read everything, except it doesn't work.

388
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: There's a reason that every town, every county in the

389
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 2: world has police departments. It's because they work. We have

390
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of years of experience. Uh, you get

391
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 2: rid of your police department, then you have lots of crime.

392
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: It's simple. It's a zero sum game. All right, We

393
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: got more coming up. Johnny Ken KFI AM six forty.

394
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

395
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

396
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

397
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 6: Well, a bunch of California mayors, including Mayor Karen Bessetti,

398
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 6: went to Sacramento to beg for more money for the

399
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 6: homeless industrial complex.

400
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: Isn't that nice? Please give us more money?

401
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 6: As she's touting her inside Safe program as being effective

402
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 6: and getting the homeless off the street and into hotels

403
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 6: where who knows how long they stay there, but it

404
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 6: looks good when you clear an encampment. We're going to

405
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 6: talk to Blake Trolley. There was a news conference event

406
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 6: today to talk about this. It wasn't just bestsetting. A

407
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 6: bunch of mayors asking for the legislature a newsom to

408
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 6: dole out more books to do something about homelessness.

409
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: We're caught in that cycle.

410
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 7: You know.

411
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: One thing is there's several homeless stories in the news

412
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: today and I'm reading this, and I don't see anyone

413
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: addressing the new influx of vagrants who stumble in from

414
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: at a state, because much of the vagrant population here

415
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, the whole area is at a state.

416
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: People who are whacked on drugs or mentally ill, and

417
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: their families have kicked them out. So they're spending, you know,

418
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: billions of dollars on programs in housing. Well, what happened

419
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: if more and more keep coming every day, which has

420
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: been what's been going on.

421
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: For years and years.

422
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: Now, are we perpetually gonna take care of every single

423
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: damaged person in the country because we're twelve percent of

424
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: the population, but we have about a third of the homeless.

425
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: Now, what do you think that is? We'll get into

426
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: all these is also a story by a public media

427
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: outlet that proposition HHH is finally paying off and that,

428
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: of course, there's a tax to build housing for the homeless.

429
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: Did you see that one? Yeah, oh yeah, we built,

430
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: we built a new structure. It's gonna take care of

431
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: fifty sixty six people. Fifty six people out of a

432
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: forty two thousand that they'll admit to forty two thousand.

433
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, look at that.

434
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: Look that we spent millions of dollars for fifty six people.

435
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 6: Well they're gonna open fifty six buildings, they say, by

436
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 6: the end of this year.

437
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: But that's still a fraction of the homeless.

438
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: So I all right, because this housing first thing is

439
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: just lunacy.

440
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: We'll talk about all this in the big two o'clock hours.

441
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: Fifty six units in one building and fifty six buildings.

442
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 6: Here's an El Segundo time story. I was waiting for it.

443
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 6: It made headlines both on the website and in the

444
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 6: printed edition. Yesterday they announced almost forty percent of all

445
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 6: the land burned in western wildfires can be traced to

446
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 6: carbon emissions and more specifically, the fossil fuel industry.

447
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: And I stared at the headline. I said, what do

448
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: you mean traced?

449
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 6: I mean there's a way to actually say that this refinery,

450
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 6: whatever it's expelling, somehow ends up deep in the forest

451
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 6: and sparks of fire.

452
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: And you tracked.

453
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 6: You put like an apple tag on the no, it's

454
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 6: on the carbon emissions. Yeah, on the carbon emissions, to

455
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 6: see that they eventually led to a forest fire.

456
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: Well that's not what they did.

457
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: But boy, boy, would you try to read through this

458
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: This is really in the week. No, well, you know

459
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: what here this this studies garbage. Okay, it is absolute garbage.

460
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: And here's why. The results don't account for the effects

461
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 2: of non climate factors. For example, fire suppression. We have

462
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: suppressed fires so well over the years it has caused

463
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 2: a massive build up in brush in the forests. There's

464
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: no natural cleansing of the forests anymore because we put

465
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: out the fires quickly.

466
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: Second, everything gets old.

467
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: The prohibition of allowing the Native Americans to burn, right,

468
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: because that was also another way to mitigate fires. They

469
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: knew how to manage forests. Thirdly, and the most important thing,

470
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: it doesn't account for the increase in human sparked fires.

471
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: If I remember, most of the major fires the last

472
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: few years were starting by power companies and their electrical

473
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: lines fell and sparked, and a few others were caused

474
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 2: by lightning, which has nothing to do with right, light

475
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: lightning has nothing to do with the climate change, because

476
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 2: you get lightning every year in the in the dry

477
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: areas out west, and climate change has nothing to do

478
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: with PG and E not spending money on maintaining its infrastructure.

479
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: You have power lines that fall, towers that fall, electrical

480
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: transformer boxes that short circuit and that caused much of

481
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 2: the damage. Climate change has zero to do with that.

482
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: It's totally bogus. How could you print a stories headline

483
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: forty percent of wildfire's trace to carbon emissions. No, it's not,

484
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: and you even admit it, But you have to go

485
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: to about ten paragraphs deep about the non climate factors.

486
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: If you have an art there's nothing to do with

487
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: climate change. If you have a campfire that goes awry,

488
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: nothing to do with climate change.

489
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: And again PG and E and so cal Edison.

490
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 6: The way that this was explained is really bizarre too.

491
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 6: The emissions generated in the extraction of fossil fuels as

492
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 6: well as the burning of the fuels, has increased the

493
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 6: amount of land burned by wildfire by raising global temperatures

494
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 6: and amplifying dry conditions across the West. This growing dryness

495
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 6: or iritification, has caused the atmosphere to become thirstier for water,

496
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 6: draining moisture from trees and brush, and causing it.

497
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: To become more vulnerable to fire. So but different than.

498
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 6: What I thought of before when I first looked at

499
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 6: the headline. They're saying that just the whole industry just

500
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 6: makes everything drier.

501
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, But if PG and E takes care of it,

502
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: takes care of the equipment, you don't have the problem.

503
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: Wildfires are caused by the cause of.

504
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 6: Wildfires, and you're right, if it's an arsonist, or if

505
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 6: it's a stupid power company, or if it's lightning out.

506
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: Of the sky. Right, these are the things you have

507
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: to focus on. Those are the causes.

508
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: Yes, PG and so cal edison caused most of the damage.

509
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: And you have to try to.

510
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 6: Make the case that if this was fifty years ago,

511
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 6: we didn't have this much climate change proper, things wouldn't

512
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 6: be as dry, and when the power line goes down

513
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 6: from PG and E, it wouldn't burn as much.

514
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: They see where they're coming from me.

515
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: They have done studies on fires pre settled California, right

516
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: before California was settled, and the fires burned more acres

517
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: because there was nobody around to put them out. The

518
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 2: fires actually burned less acres because we're here to mitigate things.

519
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: Now in a lot of cases we over mitigate because

520
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: you have to control. You have to have controlled burns

521
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: every year, which is what the Native Americans did. Now,

522
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 2: but you know, we show up and we do stop

523
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: a lot of the fire spread, whereas you know, hundreds

524
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: of years ago, nobody stopped the fire spread. It just

525
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: went on and on and on. And I've seen I've

526
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: seen the numbers on that. So this is environmentalist fanatical propaganda.

527
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: These are the religious cultists, that's what they're the LA Times.

528
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 6: The study author is a woman that is the principal

529
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 6: climate scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists. So yes,

530
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 6: they were looking for a conclusion like this because they're

531
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 6: blaming the oil companies and fossil fuels for so many

532
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 6: problems in the advent.

533
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: Because did this other thing that was printed out the

534
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: Union of Concerned Scientists. Here's from their website. This it's

535
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: all politics. It's about working to advance racial equity. Here's

536
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 2: one chapter on racism and science. Next one addressing racial

537
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: equity in our work, environmental justice, climate justice, food justice,

538
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: nuclear weapons justice. This is a science organization, nuclear weapon injustice,

539
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: voting rights, access to science, addressing racial equity as an organization.

540
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: This is just a far left wing, far progressive group

541
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: of religious freaks. And of course, the the far left

542
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 2: progressive freaks at the LA Times published this in their

543
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: in their in their stupid uh uh uh. I don't

544
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: know what to call it. It's just it's just a propaganda,

545
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: propaganda rag.

546
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: It's an anti corporate thing. So just PG.

547
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 6: Now we have to go after the uh, the oil

548
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 6: and gas industry corporation. This lead author went on to

549
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 6: talk about equality. But you know, these wildfires, they burned

550
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 6: in areas where they're not usually concerned with the quality.

551
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 6: In other words, it's usually people who live in the

552
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 6: urban centers who they feel are always left behind. But

553
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 6: these fires burn out there in the in the hinterlands,

554
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 6: often where there's some it's power, population.

555
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: Power companies, lightning, campfires.

556
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Stop it.

557
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: That's what causes these fires, all right, they did they

558
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: didn't have they didn't have fires. How do you think

559
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: fires used to start one hundreds of years ago? It

560
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: was mostly from lightning. We've added so many layers. I mean,

561
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: they don't even address it, and they admit they.

562
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: Don't address it. How do you get forty percent?

563
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: How could you possibly come up with a number like

564
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: that that is completely and I hear people today just

565
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: reporting it. Nobody challenges it, nobody points it out that

566
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: it's absurd. That is absurd. How can you What's what

567
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: you said, How do you trace the fire to what

568
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: a refinery from from molecules coming out of the refinery

569
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: exhaust or out of.

570
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 6: But they're saying that that the that the exhaust causes

571
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 6: everything that could become more dry and when it becomes

572
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 6: more dry, it burns easier.

573
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was there.

574
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: What what happened this past winter where there was no exhaust?

575
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah there was. That's a good question that there was

576
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: still on it around.

577
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 6: And by the way, the California oil and gas industry

578
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 6: is cut way back from where it was decades ago

579
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 6: because it was we said, they've closed somebody refineries.

580
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: Anyway, look at the weather records from one hundred years ago.

581
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: They had droughts that lasted for years. This is pre

582
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: in pre automobile age, all right, go back to the

583
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds, before cars became popular.

584
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: You had drafts that were won for years. And god,

585
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: I mentioned this a thousand times in my life. San

586
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Jose Mercury Renews had an article in twenty fourteen which

587
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: I have permanently saved for reference, and they talked about

588
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: like a what was it? It was like a five

589
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: hundred year drought in the early part of the millennium,

590
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: like from the year eight hundred to the year thirteen hundred.

591
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm giving you a rough idea here, but it was

592
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: hundreds of years of a drought in the eight hundreds

593
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: and the nine hundreds pre everything.

594
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: Just nonsense, all.

595
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 6: Right, We'll be back Johnny Ken kf I AM six

596
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 6: forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

597
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

598
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

599
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: We're on the radio from one till four after four o'clock.

600
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: It's John and Can on demand the podcast, and you

601
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: can listen to the show and catch up on what

602
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: you missed.

603
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 6: Well, we'll be talking about homelessness again next hour. A

604
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 6: bunch of mayors went to Sacramento, among them Mayor Bassetti,

605
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 6: to ask for more money. As you know, the state

606
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 6: is in a pretty big deficit situation. Thirty one billion

607
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 6: dollars in the whole is the projection. So they really

608
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 6: get their heads in there and try to make sure

609
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 6: they continue to get the money from the pipeline of

610
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 6: Sacramento for spending in their city often wasted homeless endeavors.

611
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 6: The Los Angeles City Council did vote to extend the

612
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 6: emergency Declaration for Los Angeles' homelessness crisis. We'll talk about

613
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 6: this too, because apparently they're frustrated that the lack of

614
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 6: detailed information they're getting about the Inside Safe program. We'll

615
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 6: start so they can't tell you. Blake Trolley from KFI

616
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 6: News will join us after two o'clock to get into.

617
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: That part of the deal. Uh.

618
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 6: You've probably been hearing here on the show announcements every

619
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 6: now and then about keeping AM radio in cars.

620
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: Right.

621
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 6: Yes, looks like there has been legislation introduced in Washington,

622
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 6: d C. It's called bipartisan and by Cameron John, by Cameron.

623
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: How often do you see that word? So it's coming

624
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: from the Senate and the and the House.

625
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: Yes, by Cameron, Thank you. From the seventeen hundreds.

626
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's called AM for Every Vehicle.

627
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: Act to require automakers to maintain AM broadcast radio and

628
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: new vehicles had no additional charge. Of the twenty world

629
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: leading car makers, eight have removed AM broadcast radio from

630
00:32:54,560 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: their electric vehicles. Well, I read what they're doing here.

631
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 6: I wasn't quite as convinced as to whether or not

632
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 6: this is got any teeth behind it.

633
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Because you can't really tell the automakers what to do.

634
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

635
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: I mean they you know, they there's a lot of

636
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: rules on their engine combustion and how much uh, how

637
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: much money. But that's dealing with the pollution, that's right. Well,

638
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: see they're coming from a national emergency. Here's what they say.

639
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's that's the federal interest in this.

640
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 6: It's going to direct the National Highway Traffic's Safety Administration

641
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 6: tuisual rule that requires automakers to maintain a M broadcast

642
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 6: radio in their cars without a separate additional payment fee

643
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 6: or charge. See the word maintain means you've already got

644
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 6: it right. That's not new cars. That's the cars that

645
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 6: are already out there.

646
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

647
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 6: Require any automaker that sells vehicles without access to AM

648
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 6: broadcast radio before the effective date of the rule to

649
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 6: clearly disclose to people that this car doesn't have AM radio.

650
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 6: So if you go to buy an electric car like

651
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 6: a Tesla after this takes effect, they'd have to sit

652
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 6: you down and tell you, Okay, now this.

653
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: Affects your decision. You're not going to have AM radio.

654
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I read is the ultimate car

655
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: manufacturer plan is to get rid of AM radio and

656
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 2: eventually get rid of FM radio, and then the only

657
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: entertainment you'll be able to get is through your smartphone, right,

658
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 2: and you'd have to hook it up to the car's

659
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: audio system, but you would have to pay the manufacturer

660
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: a subscription fee to use the audio system.

661
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: You see.

662
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: So let's say you want to hear your playlist. You're

663
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: already paying Spotify for that playlist, right, You're already paying

664
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: Verizon for the cell phone signal to send it to

665
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: your phone. Now you're going to be paying a third

666
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: fee to Ford or GM to get it piped through

667
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 2: the car audio system. You're paying three times to hear

668
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 2: the same song on the radio as opposed to getting

669
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: it for free on amr FM, and that that is

670
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 2: the root of this.

671
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: You're right.

672
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 6: I know people that have electric vehicles and teslas and

673
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 6: they have these sort of extreaming options, but yeah, eventually

674
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 6: have to pay for those, right, Right.

675
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: So if I don't know what the subscription would be like,

676
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: you get like an all Beatles channel, you get all

677
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: these different sorts.

678
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: So I imagine if it's five dollars a month, five

679
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: dollars a month, times.

680
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: You know how many cars in this country, like one

681
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: hundred million.

682
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: I don't even know, but imagine if an automaker is

683
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 2: getting five dollars a month for every customer, that's that's

684
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: that's that's billions of dollars potentially, and that's what they

685
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: want to do. And so what the government is saying,

686
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: well that that's not fair to people who can't afford

687
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: it or don't want to pay for it. You know,

688
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: they're entitled to access to emergency information. There is I mean,

689
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: radio used to be heavily regulated in terms of how

690
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 2: much news you had to put on. Like years ago,

691
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: on music stations, there was a lot of news coverage.

692
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: They had to run the news. You'd have news twice

693
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: an hour for five minutes. You'd have network newscasts. You'd

694
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 2: have a Sunday morning public affairs program. And these aren't

695
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: even on the big top forty stations used to have

696
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: to run that because it was a public service, because

697
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 2: they said there's only First of all, the public owns

698
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: the AM and FM bands and it's a scarce resource.

699
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: The bands are only so wide, you can only have

700
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 2: so many stations, and you know, we want to use

701
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: this new technology responsibly at the time. Well, of course,

702
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: the Internet kicked all that to hell, But they're the

703
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: am radio is still a multi billion dollar industry and

704
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: there's still over eighty million people listening.

705
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: To am radio.

706
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: So this is this I don't I don't think the

707
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: car companies care about AM radio either way. I think

708
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: this is the first step towards revenue stream to monetize

709
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: entertainment in your car, to make you pay another subscription

710
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: fee on top of the subscription fees you're already paying

711
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 2: for the same song or the same program.

712
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: All right.

713
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 6: When we return, Mayor Karen Bessetti went to Sacramento along

714
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 6: with a bunch of other mayors to look for more

715
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 6: money for homelessness. Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live everywhere,
