You know we Ken's away today. 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: We went through this very difficult period for about ten 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: days or so with extreme heat and every day of 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: flexilert and the scrambling that was going on behind the 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: scenes in with the California Independent System Operator it's called CALIO, 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: and they run the electrical grid. Because we were using 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: warm go out of electricity then they could make and 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: they bailed themselves out by buying electricity from other states 18 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: at the last minute, firing up plants that they long 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: wanted to close they're not able to And what's weird 20 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: is it was ten days of the flex alerts, ten 21 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: days of one hundred plus degree heat and ten days 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: of wondering if a blackout was going to hit. You 23 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: had them idiotically announcing one week that they're going to 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: ban the gas powered cars from being sold in this state, 25 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: and then the next week saying, well, you can't charge 26 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: your electric cars at least between four and nine o'clock, 27 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: which is when people generally come home from work. And 28 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: the reason that they're in this corner that no other 29 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: state is is they as you know, third of our 30 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: energy or more comes from solar and wind, and in 31 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: late afternoon, the sun starts to set, and when the 32 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: sun is at a lower and lower angle, the solar 33 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: panels get less energy, and eventually the sun goes down. 34 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: And that's exactly when people come home and they turn 35 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: on the air conditioning, and they turn on their appliances, 36 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: the washer, the dryer, kitchen appliances, televisions. They charge their 37 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: electric cars if they have them, although that still is 38 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: a very tiny, tiny percentage of the public. And that 39 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: week when we were in the middle of the shutdown, 40 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: we had Michael Schellenberger on has made a name for 41 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: himself by talking bluntly about what's really going on with 42 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: energy in California, and he's telling the truth. Nobody ever 43 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: refutes him. And he has an interesting background, as have 44 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: mentioned many times. He comes from being a left wing 45 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: activist on energy, committed degree energy thirty years ago, also 46 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: homeless as well. He was committed to all the progressive 47 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: solutions for the homeless, and gradually he realized on both 48 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: counts the progressives were completely wrong. They were just flat 49 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: out nuts in what they were pushing. And he has 50 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: since come to the realization that really the only energy 51 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: that is reliable and entirely clean terms of greenhouse gases 52 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: is nuclear energy. And we've shut down all our nuclear 53 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: power plants except for one in San Luis Obispo, and 54 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: we were going to shut that one down very soon. 55 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Now that plant accounts for its called Diablo Canyon, accounts 56 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: for nine percent of the energy we get. We cannot 57 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: do without nine percent of the energy. Nine percent of 58 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: the energy is one hundred percent of a blackout, all right, 59 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: you can't, you can't. You can't even fall you know 60 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: a little bit short, let alone nine percent. So anyway, 61 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: I saw two things today for this week. Schellenberg Schellenberger. 62 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: He is an activist who's become rational and then I 63 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: read a piece in the Early Times today by an 64 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: activist who is a complete lunatic, and his name is 65 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: Michael Schneider, and he's he's with a an activist group 66 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: that promotes electric cars and bike riding. I'll get to 67 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: Michael Schneider's piece in just a minute, but I want 68 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: to read you for Michael Schellenberger first. He talks first 69 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: about how currently political leaders here in this country and 70 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: in Europe have been pushing towards green energy. Biden signed 71 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: legislation that's going to spend three hundred and seventy billion 72 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: dollars on wind and solar and electric cars. California legislators 73 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: want to spend fifty four billion dollars on green technology 74 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: and restrict oil and gas drilling, ban the sale of 75 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: gas power cars. The President of the European Commission said 76 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: in the last week that massive investments in renewables are necessary, 77 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: but he says appearances can be deceiving. He says, in truth, 78 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: the energy crisis is rapidly exposing the limits of renewables 79 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: and the need for fossil fuels. And here's what's been 80 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes. Doesn't get the same ra 81 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: ra cheering headlines recognizing the political threat of high gasolene prices. 82 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has released so much petroleum from the nation's 83 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: strategic petroleum reserves they're at their lowest level in nearly 84 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: thirty years. He did it because he had to. He 85 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: had to increase the supply to lower the price a 86 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: little bit. Then he talked about how six days after 87 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: the sale of gas powered cars were banned, they were 88 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: telling residents not to charge their vehicles from Ford and 89 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: nine o'clock. And in Europe, governments will spend over fifty 90 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: billion dollars this winter on new and refurbished coal and 91 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: natural gas supplies and equipment because they don't have the 92 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: wind and solar either. And he says fossil fuels are 93 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: still eighty two percent of global energy, doubt only one 94 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: percent in the last three years. Solar and winds supply 95 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: just five percent of global energy, but about thirty five 96 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: percent here in California. And that's why we're the only 97 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: state worrying about blackouts. The rest of the world averages 98 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: out to five percent, and we're at thirty five percent. Now, 99 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: nobody else is having blackouts. We are any rights that 100 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: places with heavy renewables are reaching their limits. The amount 101 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: of zero carbon electricity that California generated actually declined by 102 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: ten percent over the last decade. It went down because 103 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: we have less hydroelectric power from dams due to the drought. 104 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: And we closed the Sentino Free nuclear plant down in 105 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: the San Diego area ten years ago that provide that 106 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: provided nine percent of our total electricity. Stupid right, nuclear 107 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: energy is clean energy, no greenhouse gases. We closed stare, 108 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: We came this close to closing Diablo Canyon. Even in Germany, 109 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: the total amount of electricity from renewables declined last year. California, 110 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: he says, invested billions of dollars in batteries to prevent 111 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: blackouts and proved that batteries are no substitute for natural gas. 112 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Get this statistic, and this is true. To store just 113 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: twelve hours of electricity for the United States, so they 114 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: for the United States to run for twelve hours on 115 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: electricity stored in batteries would cost one and a half 116 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. One and a half trillion dollars. So to 117 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: keep this country running from now untill four o'clock this morning, 118 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: a trillion and a half And you're going to see 119 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: that solar and wind projects require a lot of natural resources. 120 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: They require three hundred percent more copper, seven hundred percent 121 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: more rare earth materials. Wind solar and batteries require a 122 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: thousand percent more steel, concrete, and glass, three hundred percent 123 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: more copper, forty two hundred percent more lithium, twenty five 124 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: hundred percent more graphite, nineteen hundred percent more nickel, and 125 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: seven hundred percent more rare earths and fossil fuels to 126 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: produce the same amount of energy. So what does that 127 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: tell you? It tells you that all the hype you've 128 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: been hearing is a load of nonsense. We're never going 129 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: to be able to make enough energy from this, we're 130 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: never going to have the money to do it, and 131 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: it's going to cause us to consume a lot of 132 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: natural resources, many of the natural resources we have no 133 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: control over because they're in foreign countries. They're in minds 134 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: that China and other unfriendly nations run. Now that's the 135 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: reality of the situation. And you could bitch and moan 136 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: all you want about it and call him names, make 137 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: all kinds of claims. It's the truth. It's irrefutable, and 138 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: you will see how this plays out over the next 139 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: ten to twenty years, people who look back at what 140 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: Schellenberger is writing today and say, Wow, this guy nailed it. 141 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: This guy was right, because you know, this is not disputable. 142 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: Either the materials are there, or it's not that the 143 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: solar and wind energy produces or it doesn't. Either you 144 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: have a trillion a half dollars for twelve hours of 145 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: battery life or you don't. Well, we come back. I'll 146 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: read you. Michael Schneider, he's a he's with an environmental group, 147 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: and he's in total fantasyland as to what life should 148 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: be like here in southern California. Say about that, We 149 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: come back, John and Ken show. Michael Snyder is the 150 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: founder of Streets for All. He's an activist, and he 151 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times and he's 152 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: absolutely the opposite of Michael Schellenberger because what Michael Schneider 153 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: writes is about his fantasy world that he and other 154 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: activists would like to see happen. And one thing about activists, 155 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: and I don't care what the issue is, they're never satisfied. 156 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: They're always pushing for more. Never give them an inch 157 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: hoping they'll be satisfied. And go away. They're gonna come 158 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: right back. There's no pleasing him. It's never enough. They 159 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: have long term plans that are far more extensive than 160 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: they're willing to talk about right now. Although Schneider gives 161 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: some hints here in this piece and opens it with 162 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: about how wonderful it's going to be to have an 163 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: electric car mandated by twenty thirty five. Car exhaust is 164 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: the single biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in California, 165 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: so this will make a huge dent in fighting climate 166 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: change now conveniently ignore as a California is one tiny 167 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: little blip on the global map, and there is nothing 168 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: we do even if we all committed suicide. And sometimes 169 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: I think that's what these activists wish, is that the 170 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: human race would just commit mass suicide and then we 171 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: would stop fouling Mother Earth. But even if we all 172 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: did off ourselves, it's going to have no effect on 173 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: the climate. We're too small. But he says, even if 174 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: we go to electric cars, electric cars still pollute, but 175 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: because he says, the process of producing and transporting them 176 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: creates pollution. According to the International Energy Agency, the average 177 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: gas powered car will create forty two tons of carbon 178 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: dioxide during its life time compared to twenty one tons 179 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: of carbon dioxide from an electric vehicle. So it's fifty 180 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: percent less, but it's still a lot. Here's the warning. 181 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: It means getting an electric vehicle is not going to 182 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: satisfy Michael Schneider and the other activists and their groups. 183 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: And as you read through this thing, you'll see this 184 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: is just the beginning. Right now, it's like, oh, okay, 185 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: we'll let you drive an electric car. That's not the 186 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: end of their agenda because he starts going through all 187 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: the other pollution that goes on, not just well, he 188 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: goes global competition to procure rare earth materials. And in 189 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: this case he's saying exactly what Michael Schellenberger said in 190 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: the previous segment that I read, and we used to 191 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: be dependent on the Middle East for oil. In fact, 192 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: we still are. We're going to be dependent on China 193 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: to produce the rare earth materials because they own the 194 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: rights to a lot of them, especially in Africa. And 195 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: he says the second is power capacity. He says, last 196 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: week they told electric vehicle owners not to charge their vehicles, 197 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: and at this time, only one point nine percent of 198 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: cars in California or evs one point nine percent. What 199 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: happens when that number is five percent or twenty percent? 200 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: This is what we've been telling you. There's no electrical 201 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: grid if we're out of electricity with less than two 202 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: percent electric vehicles? Yeah, what do we do when it doubles? 203 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: What do we do when we had one hundred percent? 204 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: Which is supposedly the goal here? He says, without a 205 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: dramatic increase in power production from clean sources, it won't 206 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: be possible to supply power to all the evs without 207 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: ramping up call a natural gas to generate electricity. I 208 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: had a friend of mine actually tell me this the 209 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: other day. He was having this debate with a woman 210 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: in his office, and she was all in on electric vehicles, 211 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: and he was saying, well, don't you understand that electric 212 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: vehicles are going to require fossil fuels to create the electricity, 213 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: And she goes, no, no, no. He said, well, where 214 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: do you think electricity comes from? And she says, well, 215 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: what do you mean, where does electricity come from? He goes, 216 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: where do you think electricity comes from? And she says, well, 217 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: it's just there, it's electricity. She actually meant a professional 218 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: woman thought that electricity is just there. You know, you 219 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: plug in the cord and you got the electricity. You 220 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: turn on the light, there's electricity. No, you have to 221 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: burn coal or natural as or nuclear power. You have 222 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: to burn something to create the electricity. It's not just there. 223 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: We don't suck it out of lightning bolts. So he 224 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: says electric cars are going to be just as dangerous 225 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: for people on the streets. You get hit by an 226 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: electric car, it's just like getting hit by a gas 227 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: powered car. You see where he's going here the streets 228 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: for all group that he represents. They want everybody walking 229 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: and biking and taking filthy public transit with all the 230 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: mental patients and the drug addicts. Then he talks about 231 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: all the money we spend on highways and if all 232 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: cars were electric, we would still be spending a disproportionate 233 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: amount of money building and maintaining our car infrastructure, with 234 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: little left over to build world class high speed rail. 235 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: Here we go. Finally, after about eight paragraphs, he reveals 236 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: his true agenda, high speed rail, bus and bike infrastructure 237 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: inside and between our cities. He says electric cars aren't 238 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: a panacea to solve climate change. Who knew all of 239 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: a sudden, now that they passed the ban on gas 240 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: powered cars, he's saying, Wow, that's really not going to 241 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: solve climate change. Yeah, no kidding. So the next step 242 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: is to get rid of your electric car and sit 243 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: on one of those really cool high speed trains that 244 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: they're not building, that they're incapable of building. Oh yes, 245 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: and get on your bike because you know, biking from 246 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: the west Side to Burbank over the Santa Monica Mountains 247 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: when it's one hundred and fifteen degrees out, Ah, that's 248 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: no problem. We have to think. We have to completely 249 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: rethink how we use our public space, and we have 250 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: to have better infrastructure so people can take short trips 251 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: without using a car, see whether it's electric or gas powered. 252 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: So we should part our energy into redoing how we 253 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: use our roadspace to curb pollution and needless death and 254 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: bring life back into our cities. Heat doesn't want us 255 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: traveling anywhere that requires a car, no matter how that 256 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: car is powered. That's the goal here. The goal from 257 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: all these progressive activists is to destroy our current way 258 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: of life. But they're playing the long game. They'll take 259 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: the compromise of electric cars over the next fifteen years. 260 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: But they're not stopping there because, as we've said many 261 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: times over the years, the electric vehicles are going to 262 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: do a lot of damage to earth as well and 263 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: release a lot of greenhouse gases anyway. But you know, 264 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: for the time being, they can all profit off the 265 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: rackets that they're running. Johnny Kenshoekfi Well, this apparently was 266 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: approved by the legislature in June and there was no 267 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: coverage of it. This really is nuts. California union members 268 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: can get a portion of their dues paid by the state. 269 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: This bill passed and is waiting to do some signature. 270 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: Do you believe this unions charge really high dues because 271 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: the people who run unions give themselves big salaries, and 272 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: they spent a lot of money on political donations to 273 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: bribe politicians. And apparently they've bribed enough politicians with enough 274 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: money that they the politicians have created a law that 275 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: would potentially give four hundred million dollars back to the 276 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: union workers to cover some of their dues. It would 277 00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: be in the form of a tax credit. Would right 278 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: on your state tax form how much you pay in dues, 279 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: and then a certain amount would be credited on your taxes. Uh. 280 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: It looks like it's gonna be a four hundred million 281 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: dollars total of credits. Anybody who pays one hundred dollars 282 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: or less a year and dues would be eligible for 283 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: a credit equal to their dues. So I guess at 284 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: minimum all union workers get one hundred dollars off their taxes. Um. 285 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: That is that is outrageous. Who knew this was so? If? Why? Why? 286 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: Why is there tax credit for paying union dues? Why 287 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: should we so? We? I mean, I mean a union, 288 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: I've no idea if I'm going to get the hundred dollars. 289 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't want one hundred dollars. I 290 00:19:53,760 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: don't think other people should pay for my obligations. I mean, 291 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: this is crazy. Now, only sixteen percent of the workers 292 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: in this state are union members. Now, this is not 293 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: going to poor people here. This is not going to 294 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: you know, minimum wage. This is going to anybody who's 295 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: in a union. I guess, no matter how much they're making, 296 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: this is not so eighty four percent of the non 297 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: union workers in this state are going to be subsidizing 298 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: the sixteen percent that are actually in a union. Is 299 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: he going to sign this? Is he going to sign this. 300 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: Of course he's going to sign this. That's nuts. I mean, 301 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: you you can deduct union dudes already, but this is 302 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: an out and out credit, all right. Here's I speak 303 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: in unions. The freight rail companies and their unions did 304 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: come to a late night agreement last night. Apparently the 305 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: Biden administration broker the deal, and they came up with 306 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: some compromise. It really was sick leave that was the problem. 307 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: They really had a complicated system that made it difficult 308 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: for the average person to take sick leave or even 309 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: go to a doctor's appointment on short notice. You had 310 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: to give the rail carriers ninety days notice, and they 311 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: only seem to have about eight slots available for to 312 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: give people a day off, and if those slots got filled, 313 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: then you were out of luck, and it didn't matter 314 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,120 Speaker 1: if you just suddenly had an emergency. That's really crazy. 315 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: I mean, they're getting a decent increase twenty four percent 316 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: over five years, and it stretches back to twenty twenty. 317 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: They're going to get back paid to twenty twenty because 318 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: they've been working on this deal for three years. So 319 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna get about eleven thousand dollars in a one 320 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: sum on average, but the details have to be voted 321 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: on by the union members themselves, but the union leaders 322 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: have agreed to it. And it says the workers wanted 323 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: unpaid leave to visit physicians, so they're getting some of that. 324 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: And they also got the ability to attend medical appointments 325 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: without penalty, because you could risk getting fired if you 326 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: went to the doctor because you had some sudden illness 327 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: that had to be treated. Yeah, I've been reading up 328 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: like most people. I don't think I knew very much 329 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: about the life of railroad freight engineers and conductors. And 330 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: it's difficult. You are well paid, but you spend long 331 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: periods of time. I was going to say on the road, 332 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: but it's on the rail and and so I got 333 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: an email from somebody in the rail industry and it 334 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't seem like a lot of fun. But 335 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: this was going to shut down the economy had they 336 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: not beat the deadline. The deadline would have been midnight tonight. 337 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how. I don't know how 338 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: you get to bribe people of some time off to 339 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: go to a doctor. I mean that just seems something 340 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: like out of the eighteen nineties you know, every time 341 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: I get irritated by unions, and I often do, I 342 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: then one of these stories pop up and you realize 343 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: why they exist, and they really are useful for industrial purposes. 344 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't think state bureaucratical workers ought to be unionized, 345 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: but the people who work in real heavy industries, like 346 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: running railroads, they definitely need the protection. And then there's 347 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: this you want to be a guest on CNN. Well, 348 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: they want you to fill out a questionnaire because now 349 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: before they put guests on, they would like a They 350 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: would like some kind of detailed background on what you're about. 351 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: For example, one question is about your political ideology. They're 352 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: looking for more diversity and inclusion. Here, this is this 353 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: is real. It's a real form. Now it is a 354 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: voluntary form. But wait till you get some of the 355 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: questions here, what's your political ideology? You can put las 356 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: fair I mean, I guess it means you don't care. Libertarian, liberal, Leninism, 357 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: social conservatism, populism, progressivism, Aoism, Marxism, Nazism. Oh, you'll get 358 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: a lot of You'll get a lot of guess the 359 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: shots on CNN if you check the Nazi box. Actually 360 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 1: you probably will, Um CNN spokeshole says CNA is committed 361 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: to represent a variety of voices and perspectives. Yeah, okay, um. 362 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: Other questions cover race and ethnicity, disability and impairment, sexual 363 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: orientation of course, gender identity, religion, nationality, and on and 364 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: on and on. Um. Some of the beliefs as monarchism. 365 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: I guess you have a belief that there should be 366 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 1: a king or queen. I they they also uh, I mean, 367 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: I mean they're going to have a database of every 368 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: possible variation of all these new gender categories. These are 369 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna be long introductions. I don't know. I mean, shouldn't 370 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: you just be if you're if? Shouldn't you comment just 371 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: because you know the subject that you haven't educated informed 372 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: opinion on the subject, And really why see the thing 373 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: I have about the sexuality stuff is I really what 374 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: that is is you're telling me what kind of sex 375 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: you're having at night and who you're having it with. 376 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: And I don't want to know this. I don't know. 377 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to know about anybody's sexuality. I don't 378 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: want to know about anybody's life in their bedroom. And 379 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: that is that is really what so much of this 380 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: is about. I mean, if you can explain the rail 381 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: strike to me and the history of why they won't 382 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: give doctors appointments to their employees. Yeah, I'd like to 383 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: know that. I've been wondering about that for two days. 384 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: But your sexual identity, You're just telling me who you're 385 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: sleeping with and what you're doing, and I don't I 386 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: didn't really want to know that. No matter what it is. 387 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: It just baffled. We're coming up, John and Ken show 388 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: Cafi coming up after five o'clock. We're going to go 389 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: through uh plane ride by plane, ride, bus, ride by bus, ride, 390 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: all the insanity today involving a number of governors at war, 391 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: including our own tin Can Gavin Newsom. He would like 392 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, and Ron De Santis, 393 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: the governor of Florida, arrested on kidnapping charges. If you 394 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: think I'm making this up, I'm not. He is so 395 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: pissed off that they are flying illegal aliens out of 396 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: Texas in Florida. You know, De Santis and Newsom both 397 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: want to be president, and they're squaring off already. In fact, 398 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: you know, Buden and Trump want to get out of 399 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: the way and let these two have at it, because 400 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: this would be wildly entertaining. Descendis will will crush Newsome 401 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: because Newsom is completely out of touch with normal people, 402 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: but it still would be entertaining. It really centers around 403 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: De Santis sending two planeloads of illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard, 404 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: which is the very wealthy, very exclusive island playground next 405 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: to Cape Cod off the coast of Massachusetts. This is 406 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: where Barack Obama has a twelve million dollar home because 407 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: of all the hard work he did as president. What 408 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: the president to make like four hundred thousand a year. 409 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: Then Obama came out and they wrote some books, they 410 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: made Netflix shows that nobody watched, and now he's got 411 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: a twelve million dollars mansion in Martha's Vineyard. I just 412 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: was looking at pictures of it. You could easily house 413 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: those fifty immigrants on the Obama property. Everyone would have 414 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: their own room there or their own tent on the lawn. Anyway, 415 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: the reaction in Martha's Vineyard is priceless. It is too 416 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: good to be true that there is such a huge 417 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: angry overreaction from the local politicians and some of the residents. 418 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: Because the last thing that these virtue signaling hypocrites want 419 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: are actual illegal aliens. It doesn't matter if they're a 420 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 1: sanctuary city, it doesn't matter if they all put up 421 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: those annoying, obnoxious signs about all the progressive causes they embrace. 422 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: They actually put signs on the laws saying they welcome 423 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: immigrants and refugees. And then the immigrants and refugees showed 424 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: up today and and they're furious. So this is rich. 425 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: We'll get to it coming up after five o'clock here 426 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: on kfive. We're not the And you know we mentioned 427 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: earlier about Karen Bass and the two suspects who stole 428 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: her guns are being held. Basically, one of them is 429 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: very high Bailey can't meet and the other one is 430 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: being held without bail. And it's really curious why these 431 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: two burglars are being held rather than being let go 432 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: like all the other burglars in La County. And we'll 433 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: get more on that next hour. On the bail front, 434 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: there is a guy named Bill King who's written for 435 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: the Houston Chronicle. He's a businessman and a lawyer. He's 436 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: been a politician and he wrote a piece for Real 437 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: Clear Politics to talk about how well the headline is 438 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: this is not bail reforhim. This is insanity because they're 439 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: doing the same thing in the Houston area that they're 440 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: doing here and that they're doing in New York City 441 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. They're letting violent criminals out on little 442 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: or no bail, and then these criminals are going out 443 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:42,959 Speaker 1: and killing people. And this happened in Harris County, which 444 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: encompasses Houston. A thirty seventy year old named Omar Erson 445 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: went out to pick up take out for his family. 446 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: Erson was driving down a highway in Harris County when 447 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: another car pulled alongside and fired some shots into Erson's car. 448 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: Erson crashed into a tree and was dead. The DA 449 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: charged two men, a Seam Taylor and Jayleen Womack, with 450 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: Erson's murder about twenty years old. Now Erson was a 451 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: constable deputy off duty. Nobody knows if that has anything 452 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: to do with why he got murdered, if they knew 453 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: he was a law enforcement officer. But Taylor and Womack 454 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: were both out on bail pending trials for other felonies. 455 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: Other felonies, you know what kind of felonies. Taylor had 456 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: been charged with capital murder. He killed someone during a robbery. 457 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: Womack was charged with a killing that occurred during a 458 00:31:53,800 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: drug deal. They were both out on bail and the 459 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: first thing they did is they jumped in a car 460 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: and killed this jeputy cop. Taylor, who killed during the 461 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: robberty had a two twenty thousand dollars bail, but it 462 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: was lowered to ninety five thousand. Walmac, the other guy, 463 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: had a thirty five thousand dollars bail, but that was 464 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: increased to seventy five thousand. But it doesn't matter because 465 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: bail bondsman's only need ten percent to provide the bond, 466 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: So Taylor only had to come up with ninety five 467 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: hundred dollars and Walmac only had to come up with 468 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: seventy five hundred dollars, so they both got out. You know, 469 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: you could put up property, you could put up a 470 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: car as collateral. You could put you know, your mom 471 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: or dad or somebody else in the family will put 472 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: it up. It's not hard to get out. Maybe you 473 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 1: have a savings account for these purposes. Maybe you use 474 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: the proceeds from the last robbery. And it's a really 475 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: good piece you should read in real Clote politics dot 476 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Com because the writer writes he thought that the bail 477 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: system used to be anachronism that should be reformed. But 478 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: he goes, this isn't reformed. This is nuts. You let 479 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: guys out on cheap bail when they've been charged with murder, 480 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: and of course they go out and murder somebody else 481 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: because what did we just tell them? We don't care 482 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: if you kill, No big deal to us. And besides, 483 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: why wouldn't they disappear if all they put up was 484 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars of bail? All right, we come back, 485 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: so rohnd to Scantists.
