Speaker 1: You know what? I was frigging freezing. My hands were

Speaker 1: tow you're the temperature, ladies, I know, but I was cold.

00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: I had my hood onconger. No, it's forty eight. I

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: say it was thirty where I was high up on

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: that mountaintop. I was shivering. Yeah, it's probably the coyotes roam. Yeah,

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: you're warmed by the ocean. I don't have I can't

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: look at my phone to check the temperature when I

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: have to make sure no coyotes around to attack my dogs.

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: Mountain lines. Everything's coming for you. Gorillas, gorillas, yet now

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: they're gorillas, town alligators, crocodiles. Oh no, no, That's why

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go to Florida. We begin with

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: the last, yes, the last La City Clouncil meeting of

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: the year. This was to bring in the new members.

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: John's favorite Tacy Park. Was there several new members on

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: the La City Clouncil, but also communists and day two

21
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: of the homelessness emergency, so I don't know if they

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: addressed that, but they were supposed to. Well they Karen

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: Bass declaring a homelessness emergency. They had the city Council

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: has to approve this, I think, so I thought, we

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: need to find out. I mean, we keep running the alarm,

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: haven't they heard the alarm? We're in a state of

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: emergency here? I just found out she had one of

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: my all time favorite entertainers at her swearing in. Stevie

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Wonder performed. Is that right? Yeah? I love Stevie Wonder.

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was there, gruesome was there. It's quite the

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: star studied event on Sunday. Yeah, who stars studied? Yeah.

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Kevin de Leone, of course, is also the story and

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: he did show up again at today's clouncil meeting. We

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: get more from Blake Foley, who's coming on and can

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: answer John your question about the homelessness of urgency declaration. Yeah,

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: well blank did they arm they passed it? Approved it? Yeah,

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: they heard the alarm. Yeah, they just passed it. Moments

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: ago they passed the emergency. So was it was it unanimous.

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I still have to look at

40
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: exactly how the vote fell in line. I just got

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: an alert. I stepped outside the meeting to go live

42
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: with you guys. But it did just pass. I was alerted.

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, Kevin de Leone, I mean again, it passed

44
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: after a recess because, as you mentioned, Kevin de Leone

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: did attempt to attend today's meeting, and this meeting just

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, from before it even started, I knew it

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: was going to be contentious. Protesters. Protesters were lining out

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: the front door to get inside the meeting. Police with

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: riot gear were seen walking through City Hall, and again

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: it was off to the races of the chamber before

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: the meeting even began. You mentioned Tracy Park protesters. As

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: soon as she walked out, they took am at Hurst.

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: They were yelling fu, they were calling her a Republican.

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: They took aim at Council President Paul Kerkorian, who you

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: know has been very spoken out about their chanting. And

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: at one point Paul Krret's name came up, and of

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: course they went after that, Paul Kretz, who said f

58
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: you to the protesters last week. So you know that

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: really fired them up. But the man of the man

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: of the hour today for these protesters, of course, was

61
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: Kevin day Leone. Uh. They were chanting against day Leone

62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: before he even showed up. Again, he didn't even show

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: up to the meeting for probably about an hour, if

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: not more than an hour. The meeting had already been

65
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: going on. Here's them chanting long before he even shows up.

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: A right, katil arrest right alright? Now. Interestingly, it wasn't

67
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: just who's Katie Lan Katiel is h it's his initials. Yeah,

68
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: it's Kevin day Leone. And if you hear that throughout,

69
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: he's often referred to as Katiel. But interestingly, people who

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: support Kevin de Leone were also in the crowded group

71
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: of street vendors and others showed up to support him.

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: I asked them, you know, why do you support Kevin

73
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: de Leon so much? They said, for street vendors, he

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: did a great job I guess, bringing the Bureau of

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: Sanitation together with street vendors to get their permits through.

76
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: So they were pretty happy with what he did, and

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: so they showed up today to show support, and at

78
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: one point there was a clash between it wasn't even

79
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: just one point. This happened a couple of times, but

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: I caught one an interesting one. On there was a

81
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: clash between katiel Or Kevin de leon supporters and Kevin

82
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: de Leone protesters. So here's one of those clashes. And

83
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: listened to the conversation that played out right in front

84
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: of me, right in the benches I was standing in

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: front of I just kind of pointed my mike towards it. Afterwards,

86
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: Kat's running from these he and it's not how he

87
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: go kiss that call over there? Oh goodness, No, it

88
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: got a little hot. It's got a little hot. So

89
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: it's not lady like, what did she say that too? Uh?

90
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: So that was somebody who opposes Kevin de Leone speaking

91
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: to somebody who's supported And what did she want to

92
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: do to the cop? No, No, if she wanted she

93
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: was suggesting that the uh you're making him explain it. Yes,

94
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: we can replay the clip. I think that might be

95
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: the best way to do. I mean, I've heard a

96
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: story this morning, Blake that some of the city council

97
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: I was little nervous. They're afraid this is going to

98
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: get really violent. They fear for their safety. Did you

99
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: hear any of that? Yeah, well, and I really want

100
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: to get into when Kevin de Leone shows up. You know,

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: I know that has been one of the you know,

102
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: one of the talking points. I also asked even the

103
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: people who support Kevin de Leone, said, are you guys

104
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: a little worried to be here given all this contentiousness

105
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: towards him? They said, yes, but we're here to support him.

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: And again, as you say, there's a little bit of

107
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: that chat among city council members who are also feeling

108
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: like this is unsafe, and you know when Kevin de

109
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Leone showed up today, and actually, let's let's just go

110
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: to that first and then we can start to explain

111
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: some of the safety, because I do this is pretty important.

112
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: This is where Kevin de Leone shows up. And you

113
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: can just hear, I mean, there was a lot of

114
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of ebbs and flows to the protest. It was

115
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of loud at moments, quiet, but as soon as

116
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: he showed up, the room just absolutely exploded. So as

117
00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: you can hear real loser um so, so it was

118
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: really interesting when he showed up kind of the way

119
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: he handled he just kind of looked down at his

120
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: desk and really just disassociate. It appeared that he was

121
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: just disassociating from the room. He was just kind of

122
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: looking down while people yelled at him. City Council President

123
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: paulker Kory and he went over to speak with Daileone.

124
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: This conversation lasted fifteen minutes. Daileone remained seated, so I'm

125
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: curious to know what that conversation entailed. Then, you know,

126
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: after at this point, the meeting has now been called

127
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: to a recess. All the council members have left the chamber,

128
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: but Daileone and his staff they just kind of sat

129
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: around and talking and spoke among themselves for like more

130
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: than a half hour at least, while protesters just hurled

131
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: chants at them. And then finally at one point he

132
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: ended up leaving, and that's when the meeting came back. John,

133
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: As you say they heard the alarm and declared a

134
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: state of emergency homelessness. Well, I mean they have to

135
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: have a quorum to do that, so I guess they

136
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: had enough council members stay. Yeah they did. Yeah, all right, Blake,

137
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: thank you very much. All right, thanks guys, it's Blake

138
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: Trolley covering the madness at La City clouncil. This will

139
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: be the last time this year though we got together

140
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: today for the new members. No more performances, not this year.

141
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's so sad. Now, Now, when when Di Leone

142
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: was sitting there for half an hour with his staff,

143
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: so everybody was screaming at them the whole time. Well,

144
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: think about it. They already wanted him to resign over

145
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: the recorded conversation, and then Friday they now think he

146
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: assaulted one of their coactivists, so they're double angry. Yeah,

147
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: they are really. This is the first meeting since the

148
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Friday scuffle. They're really, they're really this angry. What you said,

149
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 1: how often do you tell somebody to go over to

150
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: that cop and Uh, I'm fascinated by the personal investment

151
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: these people have in Kevin de Leon. It's just you know,

152
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: you know your groups, well, you get that emotionally angry

153
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: about things you really care a lot about. We've been

154
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: following on and off some of these activist groups for years.

155
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: We even know the names of them, and with the

156
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: People's Counsel or whatever, this time though they got themselves

157
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: and audio recording, the whole world condemned it. It went

158
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: all the way to Biden and Newsom right, So now

159
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: they feel like they've really got an issue that they

160
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: can hang on somebody. And it's daily Oone because he

161
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: didn't quit. That's it. I mean, Sadio. But I'm amazed

162
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: they care that much. With all the crap that really

163
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: matters that they don't care about, this is what they

164
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: do care about. And I'm it's endlessly fascinating to me

165
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: what people decide to care about in their lives. I

166
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: can't wait to see if Nori Martinez ever tries to

167
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: make her return to politics. Wow, these people will be

168
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: back in force because she was conversation. I hope Kevin

169
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: di Leone keeps stonewalling him. I think he will. This

170
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: is the worst of it. It has to peter off

171
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: next year at some point. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

172
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: That's how you deal with this stuff is he tell

173
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: him to stuff it and you don't. You don't even

174
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: sit there with your head down like Di Leone was doing.

175
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: Just look right at him, wave and smile. I like

176
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: when he shows up fashionably late every time he walks

177
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: in an hour into the meeting. Yeah, I mean he's

178
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: probably because he says, well, I want them to get started,

179
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: so I don't become a distraction right away, right, you know,

180
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: salary and benefits. Was reading something Daniel gust sent us,

181
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: and he said two hundred ninety eight thousand dollars worth

182
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: of cash and prizes he got from La City taxpayers

183
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: last year jo hundred and ninety eight thousand dollars. He's

184
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. No, would you give up six hundred

185
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of cash and benefits six hundred thousand. No,

186
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: that's allegedly the reason he's showing up in person, because

187
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: that could be at risk if he does not. That

188
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: was right of cloudy at that issue. I'm not sure

189
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: because said as long as his office performs a function,

190
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have to attend every meeting, that's right. I mean

191
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: the meetings are a small part of what a councilman does, right,

192
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean the rest of it is servicing constituents and

193
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: trying to you know, grease things for your donors or

194
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: for like the vendors. Right, the vendors have a problem

195
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: with getting permits from the city Sanitation department, So Di leone,

196
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: you know, crack some heads to get that done. That's

197
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: what council people do all day, and that these silly meetings.

198
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: All right, more coming up on the John and Ken show.

199
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Lake Trolley told us a few minutes ago, city council

200
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: has approved the state of emergency. So it's day too.

201
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: It's no, it's official. It's been a coat that the

202
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: other arm of the government. They heeded the alarm. I don't.

203
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I was in La today. Well you did notice people

204
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: in the state of emergency went about their business. People

205
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: were up all night my neighborhood. They were sitting on

206
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: the roofs of their house. Even more important, when you

207
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: went to your usual places where the homeless all gone.

208
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: Because it's supposed to end that problem. No, no, no, no.

209
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: For the sixth time a week and a half, homeless

210
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: person in the bagel shop, oh oh real in the show,

211
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: oh ed standing in the in and outline and Sherman Oaks,

212
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: homeless woman banging on my window as I'm waiting to

213
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: get my order, banging on my window. I saw a

214
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: homeless guy peeing on the wall as I was getting

215
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: on the freeway at White Oaken Burbank. Here you go

216
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: this morn cause a crash. It's going on. I don't

217
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: know standing emergency and yeah, it's not fixed. What's changed.

218
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: Nothing's changed. You'll peep a peeing on wall. That's only

219
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: day too, and it just got approved. So now action, right,

220
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: everything's gonna get speeded up. That's what they're supposed to do.

221
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Speed up, Maybe cut the red tape. You think tomorrow

222
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow they'll be action. We'll look forward to tomorrow tomorrow.

223
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: You'll be on this every days until we see success

224
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: or everybody gives up for failure. Well, I was right

225
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: when I said yesterday that this l a jury which

226
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: is meeting to determine the fate of Harvey Weinstein. He

227
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: is facing two counts of forcible rape and five counts

228
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: of sexual assault. There were four women, of course. The

229
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: trial went on for weeks, including the wife of Gavin Newsom,

230
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Jennifer Newsom. They passed the New York jury the beginning

231
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: today they were at twenty eight hours deliberating and they're

232
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: back in there today. He has pleaded not guilty to

233
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: all seven charges he initially faced. Eleven. They dropped four

234
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: because an unnamed woman. Can you doubt? Can you possibly

235
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: imagine spending twenty eight hours of your life arguing with

236
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of morons on a jury? Can you imagine

237
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: how excruciating that is. It would be difficult. I would.

238
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: I know every time I'm called for jury duty, I

239
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: have that dreaded thought, I am going to get stuck

240
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: on a long trial and it's going to be people

241
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: like that. Yes, yeah, you have to do everything you

242
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: can to get out of jury duty. Everything everything you can, well,

243
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: including John's famous stand up and say I already think

244
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: he's guilty. That's my opinion. That worked for me, right,

245
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: even executing people, yeah, immediate, this is not a murder trial.

246
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: Well anyway, execution for everyone. That's right, all crimes. So

247
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: I believe in Saudy justice, Rannie and just producer. Ray

248
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: has been talking to one of the defense attorneys for

249
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein, Alan Jackson. Alan Jackson, I thought I knew

250
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: the name. He used to be at the Eli County

251
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: DA's office. He was assistant head deputy for the Major

252
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: Crimes Division. That name is familiar. He secured the conviction

253
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: against Phil Spector. He was the prosecutor. All right, yeah,

254
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: that's style the name he now. He's now a criminal

255
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: defense lawyer with the Worksman Worksman. Jackson is the name

256
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: of the frime we talked about. Mark war so he's

257
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: on the other attorney here is Alan Jack. He's on

258
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: the team to defend Weinstein. He is he is. I'm

259
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: looking at his bio here on their web page. And

260
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: he won the exoneration of a high profile Venice Beach

261
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: hotel on a accused of murder. The case garnered national

262
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: attention because of rising tensions between the homeless and the

263
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: surrounding businesses. I have to look that one up. It

264
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: does sound kind of familiar that he killed a homeless guy. Well,

265
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: it may not have been a murder. It may have

266
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: just have been that the guy died in some way.

267
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't remember that case. He tried to clear them.

268
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: I know. I probably tend to look that one up.

269
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: But nobody knows what's going on with this jury. They

270
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: have not sent any communications that I know of. Usually

271
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: when a jury is deadlocked, at some point, a couple

272
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: of things happen. They ask for a redback of evidence

273
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: or a redback of testimony. They ask for evidence. They

274
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: tell the judge, Hey, we're deadlocked. We we're not getting

275
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: anywhere here. They're not doing that. How many women's charges?

276
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: How many women are involved in the charges against Weinstein?

277
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: There are four four women. That's right. The other women

278
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: that testified were just pattern of behavior. They're not part

279
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: of the charges. I mean, it's not a four it's

280
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: not a complicated case because for all could be they're

281
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: split on the women because in other words, maybe they

282
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: believe some of the women, but I don't believe some

283
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: of the other But they can convict on some charges

284
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: and acquit them on others. You can do that. Clearly,

285
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: some of the jurors don't believe something, right, yes, I mean,

286
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: unless for God's sakes, it's the other way around, and

287
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: they all want to acquitment. As one juror that thinks

288
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: we got to hold Weinstein accountable. No, probably, yeah, No,

289
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: that could be. I don't think these these cases are

290
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: never absolutes, because there are a lot of people skeptical

291
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: of women who make claims like this, especially you know,

292
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: actresses in a Hollywood culture where you do a lot

293
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: of women have traded their bodies to get get parts

294
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: in movies. I've read a lot of Hollywood history, and

295
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: that's gone on for a hundred years, and many of

296
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: the major female stars over the last hundred years have

297
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: done that. Some of them have talked openly about it.

298
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Didn't care. Yeah, I never heard the New York jury

299
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: he went twenty six hours, which is a little less

300
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: than this. But I wonder if if any of them

301
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: the reason they took a little longer too was the

302
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: same thing you just describe. Some of them thought, well,

303
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, with some of these accusers, this is this

304
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: could be a case of that's just what happens the

305
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: casting couch of Hollywood. I mean, I mean, because we've

306
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: talked about this before, but hurdle number one is writing

307
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: on the hotel room alone. That's said they weren't alone.

308
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: A woman escorted them and then disappeared on them. Right

309
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: their story right. But but some of Weinstein's operatives, they

310
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't turn around and head for the door right away. No,

311
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: because this is still somebody that could give them a

312
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: right break. All I could say is because I have

313
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: talked about this with with normal people, right, normal people

314
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: try to equate it to their job. Right, Would they

315
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: go into a hotel room alone with a guy who's

316
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: going to hire them, right, especially if they were young

317
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: and attractive? Would they do that? And most people would

318
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: say no, because most people don't want jobs as badly

319
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: as actresses want movie roles. See right. You know, if

320
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: you're getting a job work in a customer service or

321
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: you're a waitress, you don't you don't need that job

322
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: that badly, and so they don't have the motivation to

323
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: do it. And also there's there's a lot more street

324
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: smarts where you know that you know, guys are predators

325
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: some of some of the some of the women seem

326
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: so blind blinded with with wanting to be famous that

327
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: they don't seem to have that that that skepticism, the

328
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: street smarts, or maybe you know a lot of them

329
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: don't care. But you think about who he is and

330
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: you think, oh no, this this is Harvey. He's not

331
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: going to do anything. This is he's a big time

332
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: movie producing no way, and he likes me. He's you know,

333
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: he can be very charming. A lot of these monster

334
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: guys are could be quite charming one on one in

335
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: a room. They dould out compliments, right, And I've heard

336
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: guys like him make you feel like you're the only

337
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: person in the world, and so you feel comfortable. If

338
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: you feel warm, you're about to get your big dream

339
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: and you get lure it in. Normal people sit on

340
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: the sidelines, are going you kid, may you fell for that.

341
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: Really all right? We got more coming up, John and

342
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: Ken KF I am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

343
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: We can use the app to connect to the Moistline.

344
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: So here's a reminder to do that. A lot of

345
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: people do. I think it was one day, like a

346
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: lot of Moistline calls we've played where people who left

347
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: the messages through the app. That's the microphone icon the

348
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. The toll free number for the Moist Line

349
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: is one eight seven seven moist eighty six one eight

350
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: seven seven six six four seven eight eight six. Well,

351
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I saw this story over the weekend, and I have

352
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: to say I got pretty excited, and I'm sure John

353
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: will tamp down my excitement. But it is a long

354
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: held belief I think of really of both of us

355
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: that when there are these problems that people just carp

356
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: about for years, the United States, Americans are very resourceful

357
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: and thanks to our great capitalist system and system of

358
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: investment and entrepreneurship, we can sometimes overcome those problems with science.

359
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: So the big announcement today came from a laboratory in Livermore, California,

360
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: that's in the East Bay area. The National Ignition Facility

361
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. We're going to have more

362
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: on this later in the show from Alex Stone, ABC News,

363
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: but I just want to spend a couple of minutes

364
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: on it because while it could be decades away, this

365
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: could be a major thing. They achieved something called ignition.

366
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: That's right, They created a brief reaction that generated more

367
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: energy than it consumed. It's all due to fusion research

368
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: and um. While they didn't generate much energy with the lab,

369
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: that the experiment that was the breakthrough or proved the concept.

370
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: They proved the concept that eventually it can happen on

371
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: a larger scale. That's exactly what they're hoping. They did

372
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: this the same means that the Sun uses to create energy.

373
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Kind of a weird story, but basically they have a

374
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: three and a half billion dollars what's called National Ignition Facility.

375
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: It's the size of three football fields. They would produce

376
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: powerful reactions by smashing together or fusing. There's fusion hydrogen

377
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: atoms into helium using these powerful lasers. The lasers generate

378
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: intense pressure and heat, causing a rocket like implosion that

379
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: creates more than double the pressure at the core of

380
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: the Sun and sends temperature soaring to more than one

381
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million degrees fahrenheit, just like the Sun,

382
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: which ends up releasing a massive amount of energy. Now,

383
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: you can do this, and they have done this dozens

384
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: of times before, but what they just achieved was the

385
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: first time that they got more energy out of it

386
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: than they put into it. A term that they call ignition,

387
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: that's their geek monkey name for it, scientific name for it.

388
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: And this is clean energy. It is clean energy. Snow.

389
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: There's no greenhouse gases that come out of this, and

390
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: there's no nuclear waste. That's right right, it's it is.

391
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: It is the ultimate, it's the holy grail of energy production.

392
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: And they have been working on this for forever because

393
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: if if they could just replicate the Sun's system of

394
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: creating energy, and that seems to work really well. They

395
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: had two hundred powerful laser beams focused and they fire simultaneously,

396
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: so it actually sounds like a video game, doesn't It

397
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: Ready fire onto two sides of a small metal cylinder,

398
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: which is holding a capsule about half the size of

399
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: a baby. That's how small this was. This is why

400
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to generate much energy, but it's a

401
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: multi step process. Extreme heat and pressure causes two forms

402
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: of hydrogen atoms inside the capsule to use into helium

403
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: and release high energy neutrons and other forms of energy,

404
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: and a control of what they call thermonuclear reaction, and

405
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: a fraction of a nanosecond, about a billion times faster

406
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: than you can blink your eye, the labs generated energy

407
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: more than it used to achieve that energy. The reason

408
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: that the story is being downplayed a bit is that

409
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: they have talked about using fusion to create a fabulous,

410
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: clean energy source for decades. I think it was even

411
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: a long standing joke within like the physics community that well,

412
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: they could draw it up on a blackboard very quickly, right,

413
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: but now you have to physically make it work. And

414
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: you could see the way you describe the experiment. You've

415
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: got to have the lasers, you've got to have incredible speed.

416
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: It's got to create the pressure and at an extent

417
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: that our human brains can't even comprehend the amount of

418
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: pressure and the amount of heat that the collision created,

419
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: and then how you translate that into something usable. Right,

420
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: you have this flash for a microsecond, but now, well,

421
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 1: what do you do with it, how do you channel

422
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: it into energy to power lights or automobiles. Just think though,

423
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: how this could silence the whole stupid global warming debate now.

424
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: But if it's decades away, that's still going to be

425
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: a problem. But well, they've been at this since the

426
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties, fusion based energy technology. Well, yes, and maybe

427
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: one day it comes to pass. But this is what

428
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, my favorite climate analyst, Bjorn Lomboard, has always

429
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: talked about, and we've had them on the show a

430
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: number of times, is that the way to deal with

431
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: climate change, whatever we do to cause climate change, is

432
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: going to be technological innovation. That's ultimately what's going to happen,

433
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: because it's a fantasy to think that we are going

434
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: to revert back to the way we lived in the

435
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds. That and that is not happening around the world,

436
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: and that's not happening anywhere. There's just a lot of

437
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: talk and I'm i am absolutely convinced. I've said those

438
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: one hundred times. The talk is to create a hysterical

439
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: climate so they can put through all the taxation that

440
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: they want and that they can run off with the

441
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: money and they can cut back and tamp down the

442
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: lifestyle that they don't like it, and it's people living

443
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: out in the suburbs and driving cars and blah blah blah,

444
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: and it appeals to their control free, dictatorial, to talitarian instincts.

445
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: So it's two for one. They get. They get to

446
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: loot you a lot of your money and they get

447
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: to control how you live because of their arbitrary beliefs.

448
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: But as far as it doing anything to affect the climate,

449
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: it's going to have no effect, and ever will have

450
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: an effect. Most countries aren't going along with this because

451
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: most countries want to grow. We apparently have grown enough

452
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: and we're not worried about growing any further, so we

453
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: can start doing damage to ourselves. It's it's really just masochistic.

454
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: And you see the failed experiments all over the place,

455
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: the failed experiments in Germany, the failed experience experiments in

456
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: England where they've tried to switch to alternative energies and

457
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: they fail all over the place. And it's going to

458
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: hit California too. Oh. We know that the wind and

459
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: solar is not going to be able to fuel the

460
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: country or the planet. It just cannot. And for alternative

461
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: energy sources are nice but they're not going to feed

462
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: the need for power in this world and forever. Something

463
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: like this is key because this could be a big

464
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: part of the answer to tamp down on that silly dream. Really. Yeah,

465
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: but you know what, they'll come up with something else,

466
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: because it's in their nature to be totalitarians. It's in

467
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: their nature to want to steal your money. So if

468
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: it isn't this, it'll be something else. This happens to

469
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: be the fashionable, trendy woke period where everyone's going to

470
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: fret about the climate. But but human nature has fretted

471
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: about the earth and the climate. And you know, thousands

472
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: of years ago they prayed to sun gods and rain gods.

473
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: It's always been that way they are. Everyone's always on

474
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: the urge, on the verge of expecting apocalypse then transferred

475
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: some other way because it's a psychosis we all, we

476
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: seem to carry around with us collectively. And you know,

477
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: stuff we talk about in this show, the Dope La

478
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: City Clouncil, idiots like gather newsimit, even old Joe Biden,

479
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: These scientists and researchers at this laboratory at Livermore, this

480
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: is what really matters. Yeah, because Honestly, this could be

481
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: huge to solve a lot of the energy problems. Apparently,

482
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: the net energy gained from this breakthrough the other day,

483
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: it was a week or two ago, was about two

484
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: mega jewels in, about three mega jewels out. So, like

485
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: I said, it's minimal. But what they have to do

486
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: eventually is just get that on a larger scale if

487
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: they can do that. But that's but that's what I'm

488
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: talking about. That's what I always dream of and count

489
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: on that American in genuity. Maybe it'll be Jeopanese ingenuity

490
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: for something else, but American ingenuity and technology and research

491
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: and people who are really putting their nose to the

492
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: grindstone and probably ignoring the dopey world of the socials

493
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: and everything else that distracts the rest of us. You know,

494
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: they may have come up with something intredibly significant here, right.

495
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: These are the smart people, the accomplished people whose names

496
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: we never hear from because the rest of our stupid

497
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: society obsesses on Kardashians or the royal family or other

498
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: nonsense people. But you know, that's the world behind the scenes.

499
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes the real work is still going on, and I

500
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: just wanted to point that out for five minutes, because

501
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: it's important to realize that there are some good things

502
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: that can happen and maybe could end all the ridiculously

503
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: long term screaming and debate over this we've been having,

504
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: and no reason to act woke and hysterical. All right,

505
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: we got more coming up. It's the John and Ken

506
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: Show on caf I AM six forty live everywhere the

507
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio asked Steve Gregory will be along after three o'clock.

508
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: They call it the urban interface. I know that's what

509
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm reading here. This is the problem with the coyotes

510
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: and the mountain lions encroaching on the urban interface or

511
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: in Deborah Mark's backyard or somewhere. Well, Devor's right on

512
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: the urban interface line, Yes, I am. She is in

513
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: some kind of hilly area. She's on the border. I

514
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: have valley hilly areas, right, Lots and lots of coyotes,

515
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: oh boy. Well, all right, mountain lions, though not yet

516
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: I have not seen any, but I know that in

517
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: an area where I hike off in, which is very

518
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 1: close to where I live, there are some there too.

519
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: I'll take my chance with the coyote every day, any

520
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: day over a mountain, oh, yeah, lions. I don't think

521
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 1: you don't want to get attacked by a mountain lion

522
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 1: I wants to put his teeth into you. But a coyote,

523
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: it's like scuffling with a dog. You have a shot.

524
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: You do have a shot. I mean, especially since I

525
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: have a taser. You know it might scare them away. Yeah,

526
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: raby shot. Yeah, you don't want to get bit by

527
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: a coyote because of rabies. But I'm talking about your life, Eric,

528
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: not just getting readied. Yeah, you you could find out.

529
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: They have really sharp teeth. I mean if they get

530
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: if they get one good bite in you, like a

531
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 1: dog wood, you can lose a hunk, probably tougher than

532
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: a dog's teeth. But yeah, it's so. The California Department

533
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: of a Wildlife has taken a look at this, and

534
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: because we've had these attacks, coyotes are eating up dogs,

535
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: mountain lions are all over the place, and uh, Steve

536
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: will come on after three o'clock. I saw a story

537
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: today was from Tennessee, though, where a bear who got

538
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: into the people's house. It was just standing there in

539
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: a hallway staring around, didn't really understand what's going on.

540
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: But a lot of it is back to the same

541
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: reason they're looking for food. They're all looking for food.

542
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: The bear ended up sniffing around the garbage cans, and

543
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: we we coyotes are looking for the chihuahua. I don't

544
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: know whether or not they eat them or they just

545
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: carry them off, because sometimes it seems like they just

546
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: attack them and leave them. But uh, and the mountain

547
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: lions they like to hunt and sometimes if they taste good.

548
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. If it chihuahua tastes good, you think

549
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: it spits it out If it doesn't like the taste, yeah,

550
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't if there's not enough meat on it.

551
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: But chihuahua was. I mean, they're they're tiny little things.

552
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: That's always They're always getting attacked because they're easy to grab,

553
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: right they actually start chewing on it. It's like, yeah,

554
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: there's not my chair. I will eat them anyway if

555
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: they're hungry enough. I mean, it's an animal assessment. So

556
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: what happens with coyotes is, yeah, the chihuaha was so small,

557
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: It's like I can get that. But a man standing

558
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: there waving his arms and jumping up and down. The

559
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: kyote thinks, now, when I lived in there, not gonna

560
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: bother with that. When I lived in the hills near

561
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: Bennity Canyon, one morning I went out in the driveway

562
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: and a coyote had gotten to a squirrel and the

563
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: only thing that was left was the tail, the bushy

564
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: tail and some bones. It was grim. Okay, so a

565
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: squirrel is smaller than a woh yes, well maybe might

566
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: have been might have been you know, tasty and fatty.

567
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: There's and coyotes have more access to squirrels than jumping

568
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: in somebody's backyard eating their chihuahwa. I remember I had

569
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: to get out of shovel and a shouble it up

570
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 1: put in the bag. P. Twenty two is taking them

571
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: right off the leash right That guy was walking his

572
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: dog in p. Twenty two grabbed it. Yeah, so yeah,

573
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: speaking of well, this doesn't involve a coyote or a

574
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: mountain lion, but apparently a guy in Westminster on Saturday

575
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: left his dog. He looks like he's the boxer in

576
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: the truck. Sorry, not in the truck. In the truck

577
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: while he went inside a business. The dog was on

578
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: the front seat with the doors unlocked, and a guy

579
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: came along. They've identified him, and I don't know whether

580
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: or not he's a vagrant. Miguel Garcia Gonzalez got into

581
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: the truck, and when the guy came back, he saw

582
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: this guy in the truck with a knife in his

583
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: left hand and he was holding the victim's dog in

584
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: a headlock. Don't ask me what this is about. By

585
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: probably was a vagrant and a crazy person who just

586
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: saw the dog in the truck and got some impulse

587
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: to jump in there. And well, it looked like he

588
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: was going to stab the dog, so you can eat

589
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: the dog. It's not clear. The dog owner grabbed the

590
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: dog as a suspect swung the knife at them. The

591
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: dog owner then used a stun gun yeah, to zap

592
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Miguel Garcia Gonzalez and the police. He then detained them

593
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: with the help of a store employee. They use zip

594
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: ties to hold the guy down. What you know what,

595
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: I bet you almost everybod because there was that survey

596
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: out the other day, huge percentage of people are armed

597
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: in some way inside their cars. Oh yes, you remember,

598
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: like like like like half the people had had knives

599
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: in their cars and thirty percent of baseball bats and

600
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: the thirty percented guns. Yeah, and they were all kind

601
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, like uh, tire irons. I'm wondering

602
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: how many people are walking around with something on them

603
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: pepper spray, stunted guns, taser. Uh, maybe we should ask

604
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: that question. Remember we used to survey the listeners. Yeah,

605
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: what they're using. Yeah, that'd be entertaining, especially our crowd.

606
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: We'll do that this week. Yeah. But this guy obviously

607
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: had the stunt gun on his person because he went

608
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: into the store. When he came back, he could see

609
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: this guy in the front row of his truck holding

610
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: the dog in a headlock. So he had it with them.

611
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: And I guess that's probably a good idea to have

612
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: it in the car, and sometimes you should bring it

613
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: with you in case did you encounter trouble on the streets.

614
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: What kind of meth addict was this grabbing a dog

615
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: and putting it in a headlock. I don't know what

616
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: kind of impulse that was until this guy to just

617
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: hop into the truck and put the dog in a

618
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: headlock with the knife the meth. Was this his way

619
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: of car jacking, the dog jacking? He thought the dog

620
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: was the was the driver In his drug delusional state,

621
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: it was like, I want to steal your car. God,

622
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: we're in a ridiculous society now, aren't. Well, here's your

623
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: update on gas prices. Nobody talks about him much anymore

624
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: because they are dropping. Here's the thing you have to

625
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: keep in mind. They would be less than four dollars

626
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: a gallon by the end of the month. And we

627
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: all remember the five dollars craze, right, So that's significant

628
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: six fifty at its height. Yeah, I know, but it

629
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: was stuck at five something for a long time. This

630
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: was expected. There's nothing to do with government policy so

631
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: much as of course they got rid of the summer

632
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: blend a couple of months ago. Oil prices have dropped

633
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: a lot, and China isn't an economic isn't the bad

634
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: economics ump right because of COVID because they closed so

635
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: much down that and the expectation is that we're all

636
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 1: headed to a recession the whole world. So there's gonna

637
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: be less demand for oil in the in the coming months,

638
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: maybe the coming year. Yeah. By the way, whatever happened

639
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: to their special session hearings over a windfall profits, tax

640
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: and sacraments, I didn't hear any conclusion of that. There

641
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: was a lot of coverage the first day, and then

642
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: again the oil companies didn't show up anyway. But I

643
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: don't know what they did with that, And they're gonna

644
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: come up with some piece of it's it's such nonsense,

645
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: it's such horse maneur. I mean, it's it's a made

646
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: up issue that's been investigated repeatedly. And I saw again

647
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: another news story, and this one was in the La Times,

648
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: and even they couldn't come up with anybody to say, yes,

649
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: there's some kind of conspiracy. There's some kind of mechanism

650
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: that allows the companies to gouge in California and nowhere else,

651
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: but the prices are much higher because of the taxes

652
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: and the hidden fees. There is an extra boost that

653
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: they've claimed has been there since twenty fifteen after an

654
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: oil refinery had a fire, I think one in Torrents.

655
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: And ever since that oil refinery fire, gas refinery fire,

656
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: we've had this extra boost. I think it's like twenty

657
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: thirty cents up. The line was also around the time

658
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: though they passed all these climate taxes, carbon trading thing,

659
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: and they did a whole lot to the whole gas

660
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: price world back then. See the average price in La

661
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: County of a gallon right now is four sixty. Last

662
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: month it was five fifty. So obviously things are going

663
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: in the right direction. But we're always going to be

664
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: way higher than the rest of the country. And even though, yeah,

665
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: the price of oil is tumbling, and you mentioned the

666
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: Chinese markets are soft right now for their demand because

667
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: they're having so many problems with COVID, they're keeping a

668
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: lot of the factories closed and all that. We for

669
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: a couple of months, we're ahead of the opposite direction.

670
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: Our price has kept going up while it seemed like

671
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: the price of a barrel of oil was going down.

672
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: I mean, there was no explaining it. It was really

673
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: out of control a couple of months ago. And I

674
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: don't the thing is, I don't think demand changed much.

675
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: What would change demand a lot? All right? So summer

676
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: driving tailed off? Is that what it is? California's really

677
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: just a horrible world by itself when it comes to

678
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: the whole gas problem. We're still we're still number one

679
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: on the mainland. Only Hawaii is more expensive than we are.

680
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: Now we passed them for a while, didn't we pass them?

681
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: But we are still twenty seven cents higher than Nevada,

682
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: and fifty or forty three cents higher than Washington. The

683
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: whole West coast is the highest. The top five most

684
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: expensive states Hawaii, California, and Nevada, Washington, Oregon, and then

685
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: Alaska and Idaho. That's the seven states are all out

686
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: west or or out in the ocean, all right. Coming

687
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 1: up next, Steve Gregory will be here. The California Department

688
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: of Wildlife is looking into the problem that seems to

689
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: be getting bigger the last few months, with coyotes and

690
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: mountain lions and neighborhoods and attacking dogs and in the

691
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: case of a little girl in the valley toddler gotten

692
