1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: All right, in the less than fifteen minutes thereabouts, there

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: will be another keyword flying your way. All you have

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: to do is absorb the keyword when it's announced, then

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: listen for John Cobell to tell you how to enter

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: the keyword to possibly win the inflation bonus cash. We've

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: been doing this for weeks. You ought to get it

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: by now, but it's coming up. And around three twenty

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: on the John and Ken Show, Well, what is the

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: term they use? Gaslighting? Gaslighting? Yes, trying to make you

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: think that what's really going on is not going on. Yes,

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: emotional manipulation. And that's what this governor does constantly. And

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: he got himself on CBS National News some sort of

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: in depth interview with one of their chief correspondents, Major

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Garrett Boy. That's an oxymarn huh in depth with Gavin Newsom. Yes,

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, it's like going to the bottom of

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: the sea, isn't it really deep? We never did go

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: inside his brain. We were going to do that one day.

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, that's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, who

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: did we do that two years ago? Did you remembered? Um? Well,

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: it was our old general manager. I thought we did

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: it more recently than that again, but I guess not. Okay,

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember anywhere he played that on the air.

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah we did. Oh we would do it live

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: on the air, Oh, live on this life. Yeah. We

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: would just turned on the echo thing and you and

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I would wander through the GM's brain were we're micro sized, right,

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: and we kind of crawled in the ear and no,

28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: he had arophone with her. He had a big empty head,

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: big wide forehead. Yeah, so we just kind of crawl

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: in there regular. He didn't seem to mind um anyway. Uh.

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, of course, has been campaigning around the country.

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: He's placed ads in Florida and Texas. He's gone on

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: many national shows. He's been weighing in now so much

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: more than ever in the last year on these big

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: issues like abortion, LGBT. He Q writes, it's just funny.

36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: He just saidenly woke up one day it decided the

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: whole world needed to hear his opinions issue, right like

38
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: as he waited on Ukraine Russia. Yet I haven't seen

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: that everybody all over the country was dying to hear.

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: What does Gavin Newsom think? What's going on in his mind? Today.

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: Can you see all the people in Alabama right now?

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: What is Gavin thinking? People in Michigan, people in Kansas. Oh,

43
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Kevin has a new thought today? What would it be?

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: He's got nothing to do nothing. I mean, the state's

45
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: got billions of problems, but he's not in any jeopardy

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: for reelection. That's really all politicians care about. Am I

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: going to get reelected? And what's my next office that

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm running for? Right? That's all they focus on night

49
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: and day with their staff. Bring me the polls, bring

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: me the research. Where are we going next? So eventually

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: someone said to him, you might as well run for

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: national office president. Looks like Biden's fading fast. So think

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: about that, all right, how do I position myself? Let's

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: say I'll use many my platforms to advance my causes. Yes, oh,

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: progressive politics seems to be going well. So he's the

56
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: biggest liar on the largest scale, trying to convince us

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: all that he's not running for president, when really that

58
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: is what he's doing. He wants to become a national presence.

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: And John, you're right, he's not known in a lot

60
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: of places east of us. He's not known the only

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: time I got a comment about him, which is kind

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: of funny. I was in Las Vegas during the pandemic

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: and one of the waitresses at the restaurant said, oh, no,

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: somebody in one of the casino the casino workers. Oh,

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: our governor just follows whatever Newsom does. Newsom does something,

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: and he just he declares the next day, we're gonna

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: do the same thing, whether it's a lockdown or some

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: other COVID restrictions. This is this follows Newsom, the Nevada governor. Yes,

69
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Steve Cisselac, Yeah, he said he's a Democrat. That's what

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: they said about Newsom is his north star exactly right,

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: He's my guiding lights. Wow. Yeah, if I was gonna

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: pick a role model, I'd pick Gavin Newsom. Sure that

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: was her attitude. She said a lot of people feel

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: that way. That's all governor does is follow your governor. Yea,

75
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: so it's pretty scary. Well, but he is a cocky

76
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: he's a cocky one and he thinks he's really hot.

77
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: And because he's got such a comfortable lead for reelection,

78
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: and you know, even more head scratching. Even the old

79
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: columnist with the Olsagundo Times at the George Skelton. Yeah,

80
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: said everybody believes the state's going in the wrong direction,

81
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: but they still approve of Gavin Nusom. Does that make

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: any sense to you? No, it makes no sense. It

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: does make no sense. No, Normally they go up and

84
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: down together. That's what's gonna be funny, because California has

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: had an avalanche of bad publicity for the last few years,

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: all the crime and all the homelessness and Newsom shutting

87
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: down the state in forty thousand businesses, getting a seat

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: in Congress. Yeah, and it's all bad news. He's gonna

89
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: go on the national state to run for president, and

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: people are gonna go he's the governor of California. That guy.

91
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: California is a disaster. I didn't know. I didn't know

92
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: who the governor was. It's this guy and he's running

93
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: for president. What so the whole country will be like California.

94
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: So the way he's positioning himself right now is he

95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: believes he's the party's voice to take on those ugly Republicans. Okay,

96
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: the Florida governor, the Texas governor Trump, if necessary, the

97
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: maga people. My party's not standing up and saying enough.

98
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: The term he used I don't know if it's in

99
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: the clip we have, is that we're always on the defensive.

100
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: We need to go on the offensive and show them

101
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: what we're about. Oh, well, we've seen it. They've had

102
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: their way. They've had their way in California. Look around,

103
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: got tens of thousands of homeless people, got a rotten economy,

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: got crime at its highest point in the twenty years.

105
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: We see good work. You know what's funny is you

106
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: can't lame a single shred of any of the problems

107
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: on Republicans because there aren't any in power. This this

108
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: is this is entirely a Gavin Newsom and Associates production,

109
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: and this is what he's going to sell or the

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: rest of the country. All Right. Yet, you know we're

111
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: seeing some type of rebellion in states like Oregon, in

112
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: New York, big blue states. We're not seeing it here now,

113
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: at least not the polls. No, no, no, it's a

114
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: it's a powerful cult in this state. I remember making

115
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: this jokey years ago. Well, if we have a one

116
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: party state and things really go far downhill, and they have,

117
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: maybe people will wake up and turn this around. It

118
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: hasn't happened, not here everywhere else but here. Election night's

119
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: going to be really funny. They're going to see all

120
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: these these these Democratic governors maybe get toppled in places

121
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: like Oregon and New York. It's the same reason shot

122
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: right now, but it's you know, the momentum is going

123
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: against them. Maybe it's the same reason people complain that

124
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: California sports teams don't had enough enthusiasm behind them, fans

125
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: that are really worked up like they do in other

126
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: states with teams. It's out here. It's the same thing

127
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: with politics. You know, I'm just gonna go about my life.

128
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go back on Twitter. I'll see you later, right,

129
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: I gotta check Facebook. And they adjust to stepping over

130
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: dying homeless people and piles of fecess, right, dodging, dodging

131
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: the homeless guy that's waving a sword at them. All right,

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll play this twenty second answer

133
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: from Gavin Newsom when asked by the CBS correspondent Major

134
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Garrett about his presidential aspirations. Right before that, another keyword,

135
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: a keyword, You'll need to possibly win some inflation bonus cash.

136
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: Johnny ken KF I am six forty Live everywhere on

137
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. All right, so we're talking about dippity

138
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: do Governor Newsom doing this interview with the CBS network.

139
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Major Garrett, one of their chief correspondents, interviewed Newsom. They

140
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: and releasing parts of it. We played some yesterday Today

141
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: is of course the big question about his presidential ambitions.

142
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Here's how it went. He's practiced at deflecting the presidency question. No,

143
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: how can you be so sure because it's not my

144
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: ambition and it's not the direction that I'm leaning into.

145
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: It's not the moment. So one way to answer that

146
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: question is I will never run for president of the

147
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: United States. Can you say that? Yeah, I'm not having

148
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: no interest. Stupid game reporters play, I know because they're

149
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: caught up in this too. What are you going to

150
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: do next? We all want to know where you're headed politically,

151
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Your country, your state's are dump? Yeah? Was there anything

152
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: in the interview about California being a dump? This Major Garrett,

153
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: you got to be demoted. No, but did you see

154
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: the big news that we're going to be like the

155
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: number four economy in the world. Now, you see that's

156
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: what they're put to, that narrative that's based entirely on

157
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: the tech industry, it is, yeah, and then everything else

158
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: shared by very few California. Yeah, right, we also have

159
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: I think the most poverty in the nation exactly, most

160
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: people on homeless, most people on welfare, most homeless, most

161
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: people under the poverty line. You want to keep going on,

162
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: most illegal aliens. And we got all kinds of championships,

163
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: and then you know, you got a half a dozen

164
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: tech companies that bring in a trillion dollars a year. Okay,

165
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: good for them, not good for other people. Here. There

166
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: should be his moment because the party right now was

167
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: scrambling around. They're probably gonna get their butts kicked next Tuesday.

168
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: If he's such a top leader, he should be meeting

169
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: the moment here and stepping up, you would think, wouldn't you. Yeah,

170
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: But the rest of the political world knows he's a

171
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: he's a dufus. They know this is CBS News. They

172
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: asking to sit down with them to talk going about

173
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: his presidential aspirations because he's gonna run, and he's the

174
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: governor of California. He's gonna run. He's gonna make some noise.

175
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: There's a big vacuum. But Biden's old there's really nobody

176
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: else in Nobody was all excited a couple of years

177
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: ago about boota juge and that's faded. Oh, look at

178
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: the people that the Democratic Party gets excited about. In fact,

179
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: they just read a long article about this today. Who

180
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: do they get really excited about. They got excited about

181
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: Katala Harris for five minutes, right, They got excited about

182
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Booty Gedge. He turned out to be a dud. Betto

183
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: or Rourke is on his third run of being the

184
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: next great thing in Texas. Stacy Abrams, how much did

185
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: we hear about her the last two years in Georgia.

186
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: She's gonna lose her second straight race. Betto is oh

187
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: for three in big races. These people have, you know,

188
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: they're they're usually approved by glossy magazines like Vanity Fair

189
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: and The New York Times and you know, CNN and

190
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: the networks like that. They're approved by that crowd, the

191
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: elite crowd. The public looks Adaman goes, yeah, how about

192
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: you're weirdos? I mean, no normal person looks at better

193
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: or work and says, yeah, there's a great leader or

194
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. Nobody does. It's just these these these these

195
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: weird elites in the media. So this next clip of

196
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: audio is sort of what I was talking about before that.

197
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Newsom thinks his place right now is to be the

198
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: one that's going to stand up to the other party,

199
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: to be on the offensive, to be loud and kill them.

200
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: What because remember a couple of weeks ago he released

201
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: that phony headline about the Red States lead and murders. Yeah,

202
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: it's an outright lie and all it took was five

203
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: minutes of research to realize, we'll know, it's the blue

204
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: cities in the Red States that are full of murders,

205
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: like Louisiana and Mississippi. So yeah, that was his way

206
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: of distorting another story. All right, So here he carries

207
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: on about what's missing in his party. Let's listen. Does

208
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: it feel like a red wave? Yeah, of course it does.

209
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: And again, I'm not paid to say that. I'm paid

210
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: to say. You know, we've a faint and feeling. I mean,

211
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,239
Speaker 1: I get it. Look, I mean I could be the cheerleader.

212
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm also pregnancy, you feel it. Newsom told us he,

213
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: unlike some ambivalent Democrats, wants President Biden to run again.

214
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: It's been a masterclass the last two years. Not necessarily

215
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,479
Speaker 1: ineffective communication and generating narrative. But in terms of the substance,

216
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: under the circumstance, with all the headwinds and obfuscation and opposition,

217
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: I think it's been remarkable. Does anybody even understand that?

218
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: I read that in the article I'm looking at I

219
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: did wild bunch of It's a lot of gabble tabble,

220
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily an effective communication and generating narrative. But in

221
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: terms of the substance, under the circumstances of all the

222
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: headwinds and obfuscation and opposition, I think it's been remarkable.

223
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: To tell me what that means. There's no normal person

224
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: who understands any of that. He's gonna go out to

225
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: the other forty nine states and babble like that and

226
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: people are going to stare at him. He'll be highway

227
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: learned from people like Bill Clinton and Obama and Trump

228
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: their ability to disconnect with the average person, and a

229
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: lot of it's just language and simplicity. Yeah, this guy's

230
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the opposite of that. Yeah. Whenever he could use because

231
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: he's a short word to convey a real emotional meeting,

232
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: he chooses obfuscation. Yeah, and you know who does that?

233
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: Insecure people who act as their their posers. They Yeah,

234
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: that's a good word for him. Yeah, you know, he

235
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: adopts the pompoon poser. Yeah, adopts a persona because the

236
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: real hymn there's not much there. But if he throws

237
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: out a bunch of three and four syllable words that

238
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: he learned in college, then he thinks it's going to

239
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: make people feel that he's deep and intelligent and perceptive

240
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: and wise. And and you know they fo from that.

241
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: They finally got to him to talk about, well, what's

242
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: what's the issues that they should be uh, the Democrats

243
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: should be pushing? And he says, uh, well, like abortion, No,

244
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: come on right, like that's falling flat in every poll.

245
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Listen to this. I spaed this today was in the

246
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: New York Times. Democrats have spent three hundred and twenty

247
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: million dollars on abortion ADS twenty million. You know how

248
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: much they've spent on inflation ADS thirty one million, about

249
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: ten to one. So they went full bore ten to one,

250
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: picking abortion over inflation. And you're going to see next

251
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday how that went over. And and Newsom, in his wisdom,

252
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: thinks that they didn't run hard enough on abortion. They

253
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: could have found this out six months ago that this

254
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: was not gonna be We told everybody that when this

255
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: decision was made by the Supreme Court and the frenzy

256
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: that followed for days after that, we said, this will

257
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: fade by November. It's always going to be the economy.

258
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton said that thirty years ago, it's the economy, stupid. Well,

259
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: they they fouled up the economy and they know they

260
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: fouled it up. Yeah, there's no defending. So what are

261
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: you gonna say? What are you gonna say except what

262
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: Biden bumpers you created and putin Can you can you

263
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: play the first like a couple of lines of that

264
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: second clip of News America, because he has a phrase

265
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: in there that I was baffled by in print and

266
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: then hearing it. Newsom told us he, unlike some ambivalent Democrats,

267
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: wants President Biden to run again. There's been a masterclass

268
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: the last two years. Not necessarily ineffective communication and generating narrative,

269
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: but in terms of the substance. Under the circumstance, with

270
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: all the headwinds and obfuscation and opposition, I think it's

271
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: been remarkable. That's not the one I wanted. The one

272
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: about the red wave is coming. And again I'm not

273
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: paid to say that. I'm paid to say. You know,

274
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: we Few. I mean, I get it's not gonna be

275
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: the cheer up Feate and Few. Yeah, I mean, I

276
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: get it. What does that mean? Fate and Few? It

277
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: sounds like he's being poetic. He's quoting I don't know.

278
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: Is that a poetry reference? I don't know, Fate and Few?

279
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm just reading an article where he

280
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: quoted Michelangelo, So I guess he does that sometimes. Oh great,

281
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Oh I hope he runs. AD is going to be

00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: is that a survey conducted by the transit agency found

305
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: a significant drop in the number of female passengers riding

306
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: the but in trains, and half of them are citing

307
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: what you would probably expect, crime, sexual harassment, and safety.

308
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: You know. I love Accompanying this story is a picture.

309
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: It kind of sums it all up. It is a

310
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: shirtless man who is doing push ups. Frank, I'm sorry,

311
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: pull ups. Frank does pull ups as he rides the

312
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: Metro b redline in Los Angeles, saying he does them

313
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: from time to time when he gets on until he

314
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: gets off. Yeah, and that's that is in sexual harassment.

315
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: A woman sees that and they're like, that's the kind

316
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: of person that I'm going to have to sit in

317
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: the train with. You know what, you'd rather not see.

318
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: You know what's funny it is that all these homeless

319
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: people or the mentally ill people, they engage in weird behaviors,

320
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: which is not technically illegal. Right, People say, well, what

321
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? I mean, it's not illegal to

322
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: do push up in the train. It's like, that's not

323
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: the point. That is a symptom of a guy who's

324
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: got a mental disorder. Right, maybe maybe drug induced, maybe organic,

325
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: but he's clearly mentally ill. Because that is so outside

326
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: the norm. And if you're a woman by yourself, you're

327
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: really uncomfortable because you don't know what you'll look at him.

328
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: He's not going to a real good job. He has

329
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: no shirt on, all right, guy, a weird hat. Guy

330
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: without his shirt is almost one hundred tattoos. And he's

331
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: just sitting there and just killing time, is what I see, right, right,

332
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: And he's got some weird compulsion to start doing push

333
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: ups up. He's grabbing the bar. There we hold on

334
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: and he's pulling himself up. Shirtless tattoos, right, you take

335
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: each one by itself, it's it's the big deal. It's like, no,

336
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: you put them all together. You got a nut there,

337
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: and you don't know what the next step is going

338
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: to be. And if they had a cop on board,

339
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: that cop would be eyeing this guy, crowding him a little,

340
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: making him feel a little uncomfortable, to make sure he

341
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: doesn't go and lash out at the women sitting in

342
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 1: the rest of the car. And that's nobody normal does that.

343
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: And nobody's ever going to go on a train until

344
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: all these people with their weird, abnormal behaviors are off

345
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: the train. But at Metro, what do they care. They're

346
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: subsidized by the taxpayer, right, they pump billions of dollars

347
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: into Metro of our money. It doesn't matter if the

348
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: trains run or not. It doesn't matter if the trains

349
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: and buses are loaded or not with real passengers. There's

350
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: no incentive. There's no incentive, right, you know. And and

351
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: so this is what you get, I mean, because it's

352
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: very public. They're going to get all of society's problems,

353
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: just coming rite down on them, because you're going to

354
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: get the vagrants and the criminals. It's easy to just

355
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: jump on a bus or a train and use that

356
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: as another place to act out. There's a guy in

357
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: this story. What a title this is? I think this

358
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: is the show for people's job titles and bigger than title,

359
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: more worthless they are. Oscar Zarati is director of Building

360
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: Equity and Transit for Strategic Action for a Just Economy.

361
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: Holy mackerel. What director of equity? He works with women

362
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: who are transit dependent? Metro writers, that's part of his job. Yes,

363
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: building Equity and Transit for st Aquity a Just Economy,

364
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: Holy mackerel. Does he work for Metro? Is that a nonprofit?

365
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: I can't figure out. I don't know. I guess s

366
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: s a j E. Strategic Action for a Just Economy

367
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: must be some non profit. I wonder if their director

368
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: of building equity and transit, building equity and transit. God,

369
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: every one of these parasites of it has adopted the

370
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: word equity. He said. The women are the men are

371
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: saying vulgar things to them. They're making them feel uncomfortable

372
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: and they're just trying to get back and forth to work.

373
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: You would understand that, But then it says, well, you know,

374
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: sexual violence is rampant. It's all over, trying to make

375
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: it sound like it not just on the buses and

376
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: try its. It's everywhere now, But you're trapped on the

377
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: buses and trains. That's the problem in most cities. It

378
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: never used to be a problem. But when you decided

379
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: to allow the vagrants and they're meant to earn us

380
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: and their drug addiction, that it becomes a problem because

381
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: they can't control themselves. Their brains are fried and they

382
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: don't have impulse control. So every weird thought they get

383
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: about a woman standing on the train, Look, women aren't

384
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: going to go on a train because they don't want

385
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: to get raped and robbed and have a vagrant poop

386
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: on their shoes and sit in a puddle of urine

387
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: on a needle or on a needle, and they don't

388
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: want people to make vulgar comments. Right. Oh, but by

389
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: the way, big move here. Metro's replace the cloth seats

390
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: on the buses and trains with vinyl so they're easier

391
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: to clean. So if you pee your poop on there,

392
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: it's easier for them to rub off. They oh, they

393
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: can take it to seat, it gets embedded. Sure, yeah,

394
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: and it starts to smell and you can't scrub the

395
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: poop out. They did this I think in the Bay

396
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: Area with the BART system, these people little cloth covers

397
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: other seats. Believe you believe we're talking about this. They

398
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: had to replace the cloth with vinyl because the p

399
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: and the poop was there's some other bodily and other

400
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: bodily fluids. Yes, they can become embedded in the fabric.

401
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Why is ridership down six? I don't know.

402
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: Get the director of equity immediately. Remember we found that

403
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: out about the Long Beach train. That's the train that

404
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: runs from downtown a lane a Long Beach and at

405
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: the end of the line, they take the train out

406
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: of service and clean it because it's full of bodily fluids.

407
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: And the issue there is at the homeless get off

408
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: and start wandering the neighborhood, said thirty in the morning.

409
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: They interviewed fifty and they interviewed you know, female train

410
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: and buster a female trains fifty five percent of the

411
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: responses or about safety. In other words, they don't want

412
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: to get raped and robbed. I mean more than half

413
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: of the women that they interviewed were worried about getting

414
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: physically attacked. And they're constantly telling us we got to

415
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: get people out of their cars and on the buses

416
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: and trains. It's it's cleaner for the environment. And yet

417
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: what are they doing to make women feel safer? Nothing?

418
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: Train all. They have Metro ambassadors who wear bright colored

419
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: T shirts but are not armed. They provide scheduling information

420
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: and temporary housing options to the homeless. Right because shirtless

421
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: guy doing the pull ups, what he needs is a schedule.

422
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: That's what's missing in his life, right. You see, in fact,

423
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: he's taken the train all day. I say to him, sir,

424
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: can I help you with anything today? Yeah? No. He

425
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: takes the train all day, up and down, up and

426
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,239
Speaker 1: down until they dump them Ountain Long Beach at two

427
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: in the morning. Right. And he said, you know, if

428
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: only I had a schedule, I would have gotten off

429
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: the train earlier. But the ambassador didn't give me a schedule.

430
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: I just don't believe this world exists. We're coming up.

Speaker 1: This has been a problem all over the country now

455
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: for some time. I think it became the hot crime

456
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: during the pandemic. I actually witnessed it right outside my home,

457
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, yeah, I was woken up by a

458
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: weird noise at like three in the morning. I'm like,

459
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: what is that? And I looked down outside of the

460
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: street and I saw guys working with a metal tool

461
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: underneath the car, and that's what they were doing. Apparently

462
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: they sell them to metal refineries. Yeah, this case, this

463
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: ring made tens of millions of dollars. According to the

464
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Justice Department. There's rare earth metals in those catalytic converters.

465
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: Was it cobalt? I don't know, but well, people who

466
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: are not aware a catalytic converters a component of your

467
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: car's exhaust devices supposed to reduce the toxic gas and

468
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: pollutants from the internal combustion engine into safe emissions. So wow.

469
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: In the state of California, it's critical that we hold

470
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: onto our catalytic converters considering how paraloid. We are over

471
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: quote pollution, right, Yeah, well they're right. They use precious

472
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: metals in their center or core, and they're targeted for

473
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: theft due to the high value. And John, here's the list, palladium, platinum,

474
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: and rhodium dum rhodium, rhodium. I don't know any of

475
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: that in your backyard. I'm going to go look. That

476
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: sounds valuable. It says some of these precious metals are

477
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: more valuable pronounced than gold, and their value has been

478
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: increasing in recent years. The black market price for catalytic

479
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: converters can be above a thousand dollars each, depending on

480
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: the type of car and what state it's from. And

481
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: as I found out that night, they can be stolen

482
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: in less than a minute. They often lack unique serial

483
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: numbers or VIN information or other distinctive ID features, so

484
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: they're difficult to trace. That's why it's become popular. You

485
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: fence them, and then it's taken it to a place

486
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: that melts it down. Yeah, apparently they take it to,

487
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: uh some places like metal refiners. They took They did

488
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: searches and seizures in a number of states, including of

489
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: course California. California apparently has become one of the biggest

490
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: states for catalytic converted Thirty seven percent of all catalytic

491
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: converter thefts in the country are taking place in California.

492
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: Put that on Knewsom's record to twelve percent of the

493
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: population but thirty seven percent of the catalytic converter thefts.

494
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: That that tracks with all the other categories that we

495
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: that we listed, you know, like the welfare categories. They're

496
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: all the negativegy all the negative categories. We're twelve percent

497
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: of calculation. Yeah, and we're one third of all the

498
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: all the problems in America. We have one third of

499
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: the welfare cases, more homeless than anybody else. Now we

500
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: got more cataltic converter theft. The last year, sixteen hundred

501
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: cataltic converters were reportedly stole in California every month. That's

502
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: how bad it got. So you're not just imagining this

503
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: when you see these things you got. You gotta put

504
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: these people in jail for a long time. It's the

505
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: only way you're gonna stop it. That's what they think

506
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: they did with the arrests of a whole bunch of

507
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: people in this I guess it was a theft ring.

508
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: They want wow, the forfeitsure of over five hundred and

509
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: forty five million dollars in connection with this case that

510
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: the Justice Department is bringing against this ring. I'm trying

511
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 1: to figure out how many people that they've round it up.

512
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: They've got cases in different states. There were two guys

513
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: that they mentioned here in California, brothers two sou vang

514
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: and Andrew Vang oh and and Monica Mua. They're all

515
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: from Sacramento. They operated an unlicensed business from their personal

516
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: residence where they bought stolen catalytic converters from local thieves

517
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: and shipped them to a company in New Jersey called

518
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: DG Auto Parts for processing. The family allegedly sold over

519
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: thirty eight million dollars and stolen catalytic converters to this

520
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: company in New Jersey. It's a good living for everybody,

521
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: isn't it. I must have taken a while to figure out,

522
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: Now when do they do that? I mean, could you

523
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: pass up that kind of cash flow? Huh oh? Apparently this,

524
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: see John, A lot of bad stuff comes from New Jersey.

525
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: This DG Autoparts ran multiple multiple locations in New Jersey

526
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: where they were doing this. They knowingly purchased catalytic converters

527
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: from these rings and all these states, and it's called

528
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: a decanning process, extracted the precious metal powders from the

529
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: catalytic core. They sold the precious metal powers powders to

530
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: a metal refinery for over five hundred and forty five

531
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: million dollars. Or if the mob was running this hasn't

532
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: smelled to it. Well, like the mafia owned these uh

533
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,680
