This time it was like the working 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: People's work, a working cup organization, here's who to vote for, 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: and had another list of candidates, and we talked about yesterday. 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: You can pay I guess some organization to send out 23 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: a flyer with some funny looking official endorsement making people 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: to this day. It was something about yesterday was Cops. 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: That's a fake organization that sends out pretends, pretends that 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: they're giving you candidates who are anti crime, pro cop, 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: and they're not. They're anti cop and pro crime. So 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: you get a mailer from an organization called cops that 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with real police. It's a fake. 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: It's just an acronym. Don't be fooled by those fake mailers. 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: It's funny you should say that my friend gave me 32 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: this morning, he got a mailer. You remember that that 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: bloated blowhard Bob Hertzberg. He's well, I thought of him 34 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: today and there's a different reason for that Epico head. 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: He's running for La County Supervisor. Do not vote for 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: him under any circumstance. He's a complete disaster. It's the 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: no bail guy. Now, well, yes, he wrote a no 38 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: bail bill. We called him no bail Bob at the time. 39 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: I had him out about it. It It was ugly. Yeah, 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: so no bail. Bob got the thing passed and it 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: was overturned by a voter referendum. That's how bad it was. 42 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: It Actually, the bail bonds people put up a lot 43 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: of money to get that on the ballot, right, and 44 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: people voted against it because the normal people the idea 45 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: of no bail is preposterous and idiotic. But you know, 46 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: Bob Hertzberg went right back to come up with another 47 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: no bail bill. Well, and besides, when the pandemic hit, 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: they use that as an excuse for no bail. So 49 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: Bob Hertzberg is George Gascone. He's just packed on more pounds, 50 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: but it's the same guy. He doesn't think prisoners want 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: to sit in jail on bail while they await their trial. 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: And that brings me to this this flier because he's 53 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: been he's been uh has he's been an assemblyman or 54 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: state senator or both? I know he's been in Sacramento 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: for many years. I forget, Yeah, I believe it was both. Yeah, No, 56 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: I think it was assembly anyway, the Valley. This would 57 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: replace Sheila coul who you know, obviously has a huge 58 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: design happy about replacing but not with him. Not with him, 59 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: then she might as well stay alive because this is 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: he's horrible. Huh, I don't know. Did she might as 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: well stay alive? He said, I don't know. I think 62 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: she stole alive. Hertzberg on his mailer says he's going 63 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: to reduce homelessness. Do you know how much homelessness has 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: exploded since he's been in office? I quite a bit. 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: I've been here. Yeah. And then the second one and 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: this is what got me. Okay, this is where I 67 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: grabbed this fire from my friend. I go, can I 68 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: take this to work today? Increase public safety? Oh no, no, 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: bail Bob Hertzberg is running increasing public safety. It doesn't 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: explain on this flyer how he's going to increase public safety. 71 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Declaration he will increase public safety as county supervisors. No, 72 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: the flyer is him. Well, first pictures from quite a 73 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: few years ago, because he looks much younger, and he's 74 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: talking to two like healthcare workers, right, and then there's 75 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: a picture of him much older and he's shaking hands 76 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: with fired firemen. Okay, and then uh it oh oh, 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: and here's what he's leading with on the front of it. 78 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: Un planned parenthood. California gives Bob Hertzberg a rating. So 79 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, if you're in the mood to a board 80 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: of baby, he's your guy board of supervisors. It's a 81 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: lot to do with that, right exactly. It's like, so 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: how many abortion bills to do the supervisors pass in 83 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: a given year? Probably with ten to twelve. I don't know. 84 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: I can't keep track of all that. So on the 85 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: flip side, it says Bob Hersberg reduce homelessness, increase public safety, 86 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: endorsed by LA's essential workers. Oh no, yeah, budget unions. 87 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: So he's all mobbed up with the unions. Oh he's horrible, 88 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: He's horrible. Yeah. And the third line is protect our rights? 89 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: What what rights? Like to walk down? The right to 90 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: go to the park with your kids and not to 91 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: step in human pooh or heroin needles? Is there right there? No? 92 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: I guess not. Anyway, Hertzberg is a total fraud. Nobel. 93 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: Bob is a no, a no no. Like Caunty supervisor. 94 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Replacing Sheila Cool with Bob Hertzberg is just trading one 95 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: one poison for another. Yeah, this, I think there's a 96 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: bunch of choices there. There's got to be a better 97 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: one than Hurtzburg. You know why I thought of him? 98 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: Funny you should bring up Bob Hertzberg today. One of 99 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: the stories is that the former Los Angeles mayor Richard 100 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: Arden is endorsing Rick Caruso for maya. Now he already 101 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: got Snoop Dogg this week, So there you go. That's 102 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: kind of two sort of opposite ends of it. Is 103 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: that diverse or what that's diverse? That's inclusive? That's the 104 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: black guy and the younger kind of black guy. He's fifty. 105 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: I think he's he's not so young anymore. He's not 106 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: so young anymore. Well, do you see why I made 107 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: the connection, yes or no? With Hurtsberg? Yeah, Richard Reardon 108 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: brought him in studio, brought Hertzberg in studio. Hertzberg was 109 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: running from this. Might have been back in one of 110 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: the Tony Lark Oh yeah, for good or it maybe 111 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: Jim Han. I don't even know. All I know is 112 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: they were like out of breath. You don't remember this, dude. 113 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: I remember this distinctly. It was in burd Bank because 114 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: I remember them being on the show, both of them. Yeah, yeah, Well, 115 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: Dick Reardon is a is a good guy. And he 116 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: was a good mayor. But and the pantry is a 117 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: nice place, by the way, but he um, he usually 118 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: picks losers for mayor. Uh. And he brought this man 119 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: Hertzberg in. And the reason that they were kind of 120 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: panting or something out of breath is that they were 121 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: trying to show how bad traffic was. This was going 122 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: to be his key issue, Los Angeles traffic, Remember he 123 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: had planned that's right. And I forget what they were doing. 124 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: They drove to show how bad it was, and then 125 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: they ran up the steps or something to come into 126 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: the studio to try to beat some time they had 127 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: or Hurtzberg's falling a lot there. So I don't remember 128 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: all the details, but it was like, uh, I don't 129 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: think you and I detested Hertzberg. Then we didn't know 130 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: that much about no because he actually was speaker the 131 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: Assembly at what I think, So you know, you know 132 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: what it is. He's an opportunist. He hops on whatever 133 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: the hot moment is, right. Yeah, So after the George 134 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: Floy killing you, you had all these idiot politicians like 135 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: Garcetti's one of them, two's taking a knee, and Hertzberg 136 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: has got no bell is no bail law, and then 137 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: the moment passes. Now suddenly Garcetti is pulling for more 138 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: funding of police. You know, Hertzberg is not leading with 139 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: No Bail on his flyer. Now he's into public safety. 140 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: They just jump on what'sever hot. They don't believe in anything. 141 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: They just like their office because it pays a lot 142 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: of money. Now, well, in in case you forget Hertzberg 143 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: ran into a little trouble in Sacramento with the Me 144 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: Too movement. He was known as Huggy Bear. Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah, 145 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: that was his other you apologize. I don't think they 146 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: ever punished him, And it's really just about I'm not 147 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: over enthusiastic hugging by the way up totally over all 148 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: those stories and he was I don't really care, but 149 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: I remember this about him. He has kind of a 150 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: he's a loud, friendly guy. He's not one of those 151 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: obnoxious progressive Democrats. He's just got a got a very 152 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: embracing personality. Yeah, but if he can fall for it, 153 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: he's been pushing those policies. He wasn't a wacko progressive 154 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: and then he became one. No Bail is about as 155 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: far left as you can get you know, next stop 156 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: is no jail, no prison, right, it's the last stop 157 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: before you bulldogs all all the prisons. So ardon it 158 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: is now ninety two, says there are parallels to the 159 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: early nineteen nineties when he became mayor, that was nineteen 160 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: ninety three, and he thinks it's time for the person 161 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: like me, a fellow businessman, to be mayor. And that's 162 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: why he officially announce his endorsement of Rick Caruso from mayor. 163 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: And we've brought this up many times. We think that 164 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: the state of the city is similar and the idea 165 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: that somebody can come in here it's completely separate from 166 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: this awful city council and long running bad polit politics 167 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: in the city of Los Angeles and just bad management. 168 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: Just able to clean things up a bit. I'm not 169 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: expecting a miracle of Rick Caruso's mayor, but I think 170 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: we can sertainly go a little way to getting better. Yeah, 171 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: situation with crime, homelessness. Absolutely, I mean I'm voting remember 172 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: the old days when it was just about traffic and 173 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: maybe sidewalks that were splintered or something, and the good 174 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: old days, that's what we're complaining about it now. Potholes, right, 175 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: don't even l are in the potholes. Now we have 176 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: a human disaster on every corner. Oh my god, it's 177 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: even Valar said that he can't believe what he sees 178 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: on the streets. What happened, Well, you know he said, 179 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: the emperor has no clothes. Is the var Valar left 180 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: and he was a terrible mayor, right, he was just 181 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: a buffoon. We didn't have this homeless problem didn't exist. 182 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: When Garcetti ran in twenty thirteen for the first time 183 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: to replace via Garsa. Homelessness was not a big issue. 184 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: If it was an issue at all, it was just 185 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: skid row and scattered other places. But no, this is 186 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: Garcetti's Eric Garcetti is going to be remembered for the 187 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: rest of his life. It's going to be in probably 188 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: the first paragraph is obituary. He's the one who destroyed 189 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: Los Angeles with homelessness and crime and garbage. Well that's 190 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: perfect because when we come back, that's who we're talking about, 191 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: is Eric Garcetti. He is crying for mommy and daddy 192 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: to help him. We are not kidding. He is literally 193 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: calling on mommy and daddy to help me become ambassador, 194 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: please help me, can you do anything? And they didn't 195 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: make a move. We explain what they did coming up, 196 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: John and Ken. Fine. You know about twelve twenty, I 197 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: was looking at stories for the show and I flip 198 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: past websites, including the Wall Street Journal. I just look 199 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: at the stock market report and it was ugly. I 200 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: tell you the psyche the last hour. There are people 201 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: that just start buying. I guess because the Dow Jones 202 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: actually ended a few points positive. It was big most 203 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: of the day. I guess people, it's Friday. I gotta 204 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: get in there. There's bargains. They may not be there 205 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: on Monday. I have no idea, but well, to all this, 206 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: there's so many factors. I'm just a you know, I 207 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: heard used, yeah that eight weeks in a row. The 208 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: stock market is down eight weeks in a row. Last 209 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: time that happened was ninety years ago. Ninety years years ago, 210 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: I mean nineteen thirty two. What was going on then? 211 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Great Depression and guys were jumping at 212 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: office buildings in New York. They lost excuse me, they 213 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: lost so much money. Well, this isn't the stock market 214 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: has had such a good run. I don't have to 215 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: dependemic started, it started to go up, and it's been 216 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: going up for almost two years. To go eight weeks 217 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: in a row going down, I mean that that's literally 218 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: once in a century. Yeah. Well, we told you that 219 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: the Mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, as we know 220 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: him as yoga Pants, is struggling to get his next 221 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: position in his political career. He wants to be US 222 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: ambassador the India, but the nomination has been held up 223 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: in the United States Senate because there are a number 224 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: of Senators, including some Democrats, who have they're a little skeptical. 225 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: But Garcity didn't know that his top aid was sexually 226 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: harassing all the staff, and that Garcetti may have lied 227 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: about it, because he keeps repeating I didn't see it, 228 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: I didn't hear about it. I knew nothing, And many 229 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: people on his staff said, no, he's lying. He's committed perjury. 230 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: That's not true. He knew about it. Everybody knew about it. 231 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: He saw it. He was there, We saw it when 232 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: he We saw that he saw it. So we have 233 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: told you that he's gone to d C himself to 234 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: personally try to meet with senators and lobby his nomination. 235 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: But now he's gone one step further. He's called in 236 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: Mommy and Daddy, good old gil Garcetti, one of our 237 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: favorite punching bad back in the day. If the OJ trial, 238 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: If you weren't paying attention during the OJ trial, gil 239 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: Garcetti was the dumb da who blew the trial right 240 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: from the beginning because OJ killed Nicole in Brentwood and 241 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: the trial should have taken place next door in Santa Monica. 242 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: And more famously before that, not more famously, he blew 243 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the Menendez trial. He had to have a retrial, and 244 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: we helped to raise money for the retrial, and then 245 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: they were found guilty. He blew the Menendez trial the 246 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: first time. He blew the OJ trial because he would 247 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: have had a different jury makeup on the West Side 248 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: than he did by going downtown. And you know, he 249 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: was trying to be a diverse, in equitable and inclusive 250 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: and he ended up blowing the trial. And that thing 251 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: was was was screwed up, you know, twelve different ways, 252 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: and you know, he's no good. And I thought he 253 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: was one of the saddest public officials we've had in 254 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: LA until the sun came along and then it hit me, 255 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, this is genetic. I mean, 256 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: at least Garcetti, though, would talk to us. We have 257 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: never spoken about Garcetti on the radio. Well, you know, 258 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: the Ray sent a message to Gil because Ray still 259 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: has his phone number today, yes, today, just moments ago. 260 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: I was told and he said, Hey, what's going on here? 261 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: You want to come on and talk about it? So 262 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: far no response. Yeah. I think the last time we 263 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: talked about to him was about the death penalties. Staunchly 264 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: against the death penalty. He was actually in studio some 265 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, he came in years after he was 266 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: done his dada. He had some issue that he was 267 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: banging on. Well, his parents are Gil and Suki Garcetti, 268 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: that's her name, and they have well McGuire Woods Consulting 269 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: has registered to lobby on their behalf for the purposes 270 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: of here. It is quote outreach related to confirmation for 271 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: ambassadorship nomination. So I think would have to be Eric's nomination. 272 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't think they're locking for somebody else. No, it's 273 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: it's it's that. And also on this team is Garcetti's 274 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: former deputy mayor and advisor, Pete Brilan. Pete, I don't 275 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: know Brillan is a male or female or wife. So 276 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: he's got his old deputy mayor is mommy and his daddy? Right, 277 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: you actually to formally register as a lobbyist. And where 278 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: are they going to go? They're gonna go to the 279 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: offices and go. Please please let little Eric become ambassador. 280 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: He always wanted to be ambassador, actually wanted to be president. 281 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: But our son's kind of a loser. He filed up 282 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and he's got nowhere to go. He has 283 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: no talents. Please take him off our hands. Please, we 284 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: don't want him moving back in the house when moping 285 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: around the house. Yeah, he believes his career is done 286 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: unless he gets this. Because you know that ambassadorist India 287 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: known to go on to be president. That's happened, that's right. 288 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: You know, he whipped on being president and then he 289 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: missed out on being Secretary of Transportation and the second 290 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,239 Speaker 1: Vitaria toilets, and now all we have left is India. 291 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: Please please, So the problem for Garcetti is that he 292 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: has to get fifty cented votes all the Democrats plus 293 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and so far there are a number of Democrats. 294 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Nobody are reluctant. Nobody normal humiliates themselves like this. Nobody 295 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: normal would have their mom and dad register as a 296 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: as a as as lobbyists, I mean, And by the way, 297 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: what position do they have to go to Washington as 298 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: a lobbyist anyway? The dad isn't clear to me. I 299 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: thought they were not going to do that. But they're 300 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: going to have this McGuire woods consulting to it on 301 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: their behalf. It's not clear to me. You're right. The 302 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: headline says they have registered to lobby but they like 303 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: they're a lobbying firm to go in there and say, 304 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: we're here on behalf of Eric Garcetti's parents, and this 305 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: is what they believe is the reason you should confirm 306 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: their So why does he need his parents to do that? 307 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. Or parents paying Yeah, parents paying the bill. Yeah, 308 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: the lobbying firms are not cheap and this outfits probably 309 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna go office to office. So mommy, mommy and daddy 310 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: are paying the bill. But I wouldn't be surprised if yes, 311 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: they'll say, well, we'll bring the parents along if you 312 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: would like to speak to them too, and ask any 313 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: questions about their son. Oh, she concerns you have that 314 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: he might ignore sexual harassment. That's right. Tell them what 315 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: a good boy scout Eric was. I know, I saw 316 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: this headbone. It's like, well, that's really sad. You have 317 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: to calling the parents to help save your what's left 318 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: of your pathetic political career. And the last part of 319 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: the story does mention gilgar Stetti was La County's DA, 320 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: during which his office oversaw O Simpson, the worst lot 321 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: to bacle, the worst loss in judicial history. That's not 322 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: something you want on your resume. You try to pretend no, 323 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: that was a different DA. I came later, Well, what 324 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: else would he put on his resume? Well, what did 325 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: you do? Is as district attorney? I lost the RJ trial? 326 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: Well what else? I lost a Menendez trial? Well, first 327 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: one though not the second one. All right, I don't 328 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: remember anything else. When we come back, like those gas prices, 329 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: it is going to get worse. We'll tell you why. 330 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: Through the summer, it's going to get very ugly. And 331 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna play some audio from the US Senate. It's 332 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: a US senator questioning the Energy secretary under Biden, and 333 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: it's a yeah, it's pretty revealing coming up now, he's 334 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: not going to write back to Ray because we were 335 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: so mean. Where are we? Hey, there's some breaking news 336 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: on the migrant front that federal judge in Louisiana has 337 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: extended his temporary block on the Biden administration's plan to 338 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: lift that Title forty two. I think that was gonna 339 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: be Monday, the twenty third. That, of course, Title forty 340 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: two was implemented during the Trump administration a federal public 341 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: health statute, yeah, with the need to curb COVID nineteen 342 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: and so they've been using that to reduce the number 343 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: of migrants to let into the country. And what he 344 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: wrote in the ruling is very significant because he said 345 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: that the states that are suing had established a significant 346 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: threat of injury because increase in border crossings will increase 347 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: their costs for healthcare and education services. Those costs are 348 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: not recoverable. But that's always been the case, right, But 349 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: nobody's like, I guess suit over a situation like this before. Now, 350 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: this is a Trump appoint d this judge in Louisiana. However, 351 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: the entire Fifth Circuit, this is where this comes out 352 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: of in the South, is they're not going to help 353 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: the Biden administration so all these lawsuits should be taken 354 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: to and I doubt if he went to the Supreme 355 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: Court that would really help. So no, it looks like 356 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: this and on top thing of Title forty two is 357 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: not going to happen. And on top of that, the 358 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: judge is right, why the states have to suffer and 359 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: pay out all that healthcare and all that all those 360 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: school costs because Biden has left the door wide open. 361 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's common sense. Do we need a 362 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: judge to tell us that this is a ridiculous policy? 363 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: The only thing I understudents, we've been looking at record 364 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: migrant numbers coming in. I mean, you're gonna tell me 365 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: this would be three times the record number if we 366 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: lift Title the Actually are they turning it handing away 367 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: under Title forty do anymore? But practically happening at the border. 368 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: They actually claim that it's going to triple the number 369 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: of people coming over. That's frightening. Yeah, a lot of 370 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: Americans are not really aware of this. And you know 371 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: what's got a lot of the tension this week to 372 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: try to quash this as this whole replacement theory thing, 373 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: whether the Buffalo suitor and I mean that misses the 374 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: point because it's racist. Nobody wants to country so we 375 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: can keep it white America. That's not really what it's 376 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: about the Democrats. A lot of people believe in legal 377 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: immigration and a way to do it, and the Democrats 378 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: have been pushing exactly that for years. Found a whole 379 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: In fact, I read one of these books that was 380 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: written by one of the top Democratic analysts twenty years ago, 381 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: and they said, what we've always talked about is that 382 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,959 Speaker 1: the Democrats want a lot of immigration in order to 383 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: turn them into votes down the road. That's exactly what 384 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: they want. Well, I think most reasonable Americans, Democrats, Republicans, 385 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: independents want legal immigration. They certainly want to let people 386 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: into this country, but you've got to have control of it. 387 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: That's that's probably of people. Yeah, you're right. The political 388 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: party leaders feel differently because it's really just about we 389 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: want to win, we want to build our voter base. 390 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: But that's at odds. I think why they should be 391 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: done with migration. Why is that so complicated? You know, 392 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: the whole purpose of having our form of government is 393 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: that all the congressional representatives get together and they hammer 394 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: out a compromise policy on how many we led in 395 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: every year and what the process would be. Just do that. 396 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: Come up with the number right now, it's a million 397 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: a year. League, that's a big number. If you tried 398 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: you remember Trump tried to merit basis what Canada does, 399 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: and it should be married. A lot of countries have 400 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: marrit well, of course, try getting into Canada legally. Good luck. Well, 401 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: because I don't understand how does it help anybody to 402 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: let in hundreds of thousands of basically welfare cases. How 403 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: does that help here? Now you let in thousands and 404 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: thousands of people who are coming from you know, various 405 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: medical schools around the country. Certainly we've done that, right, 406 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you look, you look at who 407 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: makes up our doctor pool, a specialist pool. It's many 408 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: many foreigners now and that's because American American, well, our 409 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: country who just wasn't producing that many doctors anymore for 410 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: whatever reason, so we had to import them. And now 411 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: much of the time when you go to the go 412 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: to a doctor, go to the hospital, you have a 413 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: doctor from a foreign country. And that's what immigration is for. 414 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: It's to shore up areas where you don't have strengths 415 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And we should only get the best 416 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: and the brightest and the most useful. I like the 417 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: way they write this in the Times. Seeking asylum is 418 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: a legal right, guarantee through federal international law, regardless of 419 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: how someone arrived on US soil. Some of those turned 420 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: away are fleeing persecution, while others are pushed out by 421 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: turmoil in their home countries security. But it's been proven 422 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: that a lot of them are faking it. And well 423 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: even Obama said that. Obama said, it can't be because 424 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: you're poor. No, it's not. See how it works with asylum, right, 425 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: so because of economic status. I think that's how he 426 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: put it. It is indisputable. It is indisputable that most 427 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: of these asylum seekers do not deserve asylum. Okay, they're 428 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: just coming here because they thought they could get in. 429 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: And what happens is these immigration activists, and remember they're 430 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: all a bunch of socialists. They think that all the 431 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: poor people ought to spill into America because we're too wealthy. 432 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: So they changed it into well, anybody who's in need, 433 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: anybody who's boor it's our human obligation. It's like it's not, 434 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, they kind they kind of goad you into 435 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: saying something very tough, right, because they think it will 436 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: make you look bad. It's like, no, be tough, don't 437 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: worry how it looks. No, we can't take care of 438 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: every poor person in the world. That's simply affect And 439 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: why why don't they come up with a number? They 440 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: never come up with a number. It's like, how don 441 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: do you want to let in another million, another two million, 442 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: another five million? What's what? And they don't have a 443 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: number because they want it to be unlimited, because they 444 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: want to change the makeup of the country economically. They 445 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: want they believe in a global socialist idea. It's it's wacky, 446 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: it's extreme, and we don't have to go along with 447 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: all their crazy ideas just because they try to shame 448 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: you if you disagree. But when we come back, well, 449 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: you might want to enjoy six dollars a gallon for 450 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: gas because with the summer driving period coming up through 451 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: Labor Day, Californians could be looking at seven to seven 452 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: fifty a gallon by August. And we'll also play for you. 453 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: In exchange in Congress between a Republican senator and the 454 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: Energy secretary over how much of this is to blame 455 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: on the Biden administration coming up, John and Ken show 456 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: K fine, Yeah, we should have played Benana Rama. Remember 457 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: a cruel summer. It is a sun leaving me. That's 458 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: what one analyst predicts when it comes to gas prices 459 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: for the country. As of this morning, the national average 460 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: gas prices four fifty nine a gallon. That is another 461 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: old time record. Here in the state of California, the 462 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: state six h six. I would say La County might 463 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: even be higher. I haven't checked today, as they right 464 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: here in the National Review. Because prices in California are 465 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: usually a dollar to a dollar fifty more than the 466 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: national average. Californians could be paying seven to seven dollars 467 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: to seven fifty cents a gallon by August. Yeah, you know, 468 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: this is why you should vote for Gavin Newsom, because 469 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: he's brought us potentially seven dollars and fifty cent gas 470 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: because a buck fifty of that is taxes, and he 471 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: will give us a break on a single penny nothing. 472 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: He's got a one hundred billion dollar surplus, one hundred 473 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: billion dollars and he won't give us a penny off 474 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: out of his out of his buck fifty and extra taxes, 475 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: and he could do more to increase domestic oil production 476 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: in the state. That's another. Oh god, we remember we 477 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: talked to the man up in Kern County who said 478 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: he's got a lot there wells that they could use 479 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: and drill and he could increase production and they're not 480 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: allowed to. The mayor of Taft is in the oil business, 481 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: he says he was when he talked with us, he 482 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: was standing on tons of oil down below the surface. 483 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: We've got so much oil underneath here, and Newsome would 484 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: drill any of it, and instead we're gonna pay seven 485 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: fifty this summer. Oh, and then in November, you're gonna 486 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: vote for him again. Right, In fact, you're gonna vote 487 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: for him again next month. Maybe right now, you're voting 488 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: for him one hundred billion dollars in surplus our money. 489 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: Those are our taxes, and we don't get any kind 490 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: of a gas tax rebate. And then he's helping to 491 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: drive the price to seven fifty. In fact, where they did, 492 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: they just did. They were they were trying to ban 493 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: u offshore drilling in Orange County just the other day 494 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: in the legislature. Yeah, there was a bill after the 495 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: oil spill off of Huntington Beach. Remember that big story, 496 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: which didn't turn out to be that bad, no doubt, 497 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: But at the time they rushed and wrote bills that 498 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: wherever the state controls the offshore waters, we're going to 499 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: stop the oil drilling. And he got withdrawn, which is where, 500 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: because he would expect them to glom onto that with 501 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: this bunch in Sacramento. But they have decided to not 502 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: pursue that because even six and seven dollars gas is 503 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: making him stop and reconsider that maybe that's a suicide mission. 504 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I don't know why people put up 505 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: with this. We pay like a dollar and a quarter 506 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: to a dollar fifty extra in gas than any other state. 507 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: Most of that is taxes. There's also a lot of 508 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,959 Speaker 1: regulation here. There's a lot of stupid laws. Do you know. 509 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: Do you know there's a lot of um gas and 510 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: oil that can't be delivered here to California because there's 511 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: no infrastructure to get it from the southeast, and so 512 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: in the Southeast they end up shipping a lot of 513 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: that oil out of the US now that it's closer 514 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: to ship it out of the US than it is 515 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: here because we don't have we don't have the pipe, 516 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: we don't have a pipe that goes from here to 517 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: the southeast to trucks and drive it here for a 518 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: couple of days, driver or no. What I have read 519 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: about the infrastructure we have in the US for gas 520 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: and oil would would would just you hit you smash 521 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: your head against the window. It is really primitive. It's 522 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,239 Speaker 1: a really a lot of obvious stuff that because of 523 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: the whack job government we have in recent decades, you 524 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: can't get it built. You can't get it done. It's 525 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: it's like the tons of oil up up in Canada 526 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: that they want to put on that Keystone pipeline and 527 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: they can't do it because Biden stopped the construction of it, 528 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: put thousands of people out of work and stopped this 529 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: would have been a huge influx of oil. Had he 530 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: allowed it on an inauguration day instead of canceling it, 531 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: we would be using some of that oil by now. 532 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: They needed about a year or so to build it, 533 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: all right. Yesterday in the US Senate there was a 534 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. I don't really 535 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: know why, but the Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was testifying. 536 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: She was questioned by US Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican 537 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: from Missouri about the Biden administration's fault in these high 538 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: gas prices. Here is some of the back and forth. 539 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: It's pretty wild that now Triple A is projecting that 540 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: gas prices will hit a national average average of six 541 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon by the month of August. Is this 542 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: acceptable to you? No, is not, And you can thank 543 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: the activity of Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine and pulling 544 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: With all due respect, Madame Secretary, that's utter nonsense. In 545 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty one, the average gas price in 546 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: my state was two dollars and seven cents. Eight months later, 547 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: eight months later, long before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, that 548 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: price was up over thirty percent, and it has been 549 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: going up consistently since. What are you doing to reverse 550 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: this administration's policies that are drawing down our own supply 551 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: of energy in this country, that are throttling oil and 552 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: gas production in the United States of America? What are 553 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: you doing about it? Respect sir, It is not administration 554 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: policies that have affected supply and demand. How can you 555 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: say that when the price of gas was up over 556 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: thirty percent from January to answer my questions, and it's 557 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: my time, Madam Secretary, So why don't you answer my question. 558 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: From January to August, the price of gasoline was up 559 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: over thirty percent in my state alone. Own. It has 560 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: been a continuous, continuous upward tick since then. And here's 561 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 1: what your president did. When he first came to office. 562 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: He immediately re entered the Paris Climate Accord. He canceled 563 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: the Keystone Pipeline. He halted leasing programs in anwar. He 564 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: issued a sixty day halt on all new oil and 565 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: gas leases and drilling permits on federal lands and waters. 566 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: That's nationwide. That accounts, by the way, for twenty five 567 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: percent of US oil production. He directed federal agencies to 568 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: eliminate all supports for fossil fuels. He imposed new regulations 569 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: on oil and gas and methane emissions. Those were all 570 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: just in the first few days. Are you telling me 571 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: that's had no effect on our entergy spot? Ninety four 572 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: percent of the oil and gas executives that were surveyed 573 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: by the Dallas Fed said that administration policies had nothing 574 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: to do with the increase in the price of oil. 575 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm not interested in opinions of these people. I'm interested 576 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: in the facts. Are you telling me that these policies 577 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: had no effect? That your testimony that these policies had 578 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: no effect. Are you telling me, Madam Secretary, are you 579 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: telling me under oath that these policies had no effect? 580 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm telling you that the oil and gas industry, I'm 581 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: not interested in their opinion. I mean intersted in the facts. 582 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: So no, they did not ask. That is a remarkable 583 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: statement about the increase in demand and the decrease in 584 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: supply from pulling Russian barrels of oil off the market 585 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 1: thanks to rightly the United States saying we're not going 586 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: to take Russian oil coming out of COVID. So what 587 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: explains the increase between January and August coming out of 588 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: coming out of COVID. There was an increase in demand 589 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: because people were driving again. When there was no demand, 590 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: the prices dropped. That is a basic law of economics, 591 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: the prices drop. I have to say, Madam Secretary, with 592 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: all due respect, your answers are insulting and they are 593 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: insulting to the people of Missouri who are looking for action. 594 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: There you go now, And I remember when Trump and 595 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: Biden debated. Biden was defiant this all those things that 596 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: the Senator Hally listed there about cutting back on our 597 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: use of gas and oil that Biden said, We're going 598 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: to do that, and it sounds like that list he gave. Yeah, 599 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 1: that's what halt on new oil and gas. That's what 600 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: Biden said was going to happen. He was like, well, 601 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: climate change, that's all I'm hearing from people. We gotta 602 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: do something. We gotta get America off of gas and oil. 603 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to take these actions. Because Hally is focusing 604 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: in on before Ukraine got invaded, Yeah, that wasn't until 605 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: February of this year out gas prices were running up 606 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: big timeline. It's the way the liars in public life 607 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: speak with the rhetoric is they take a small issue 608 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: and they make it sound like a large issue. Yeah, 609 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: that had a little to do with the price increase, 610 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: but the price increase was going up significantly before the 611 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: Ukraine invasion. And you notice she changes the subject. She 612 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: brings up some pole of oil and gas executives. I 613 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: have heard oil and gas executives interviewed by the dozens 614 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: on all the business channels, and they all say the 615 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: same thing. Biden choking us and with regulations and and 616 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,479 Speaker 1: lease they deny, they deny permits. The real funny part 617 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,240 Speaker 1: about that is Democrats often despise oil and gas exectives. 618 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: They're usually liars, they're usually uh greedy, right, they're taking 619 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: all the profits. Now she's using them as a shield. Yeah, 620 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: the lighty lion, greedy price gouger as well, they all 621 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: agree with this. I could use them for this point. 622 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make notice. Notice she didn't want to 623 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: say under oath that the Biden policies had nothing to 624 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: do with these these gas increases. Look, he's aft everything 625 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: up he has, he's he's he's senile. And whatever committee 626 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: that runs the government are a bunch of leftists who 627 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: want to put oil and gas industry out of business. 628 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: That's what they want to do. They want to go 629 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: all green. That they've said this out loud. It's not 630 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: a secret. It's not you know, some conspiracy theory. You 631 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: look at their words, their plans, the way they want 632 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: to remake America. They're in charge now. And Biden, you know, 633 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: he can't. He can't even zip up his pants on morning. 634 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, Oh, here we go again. 635 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: The criminal justice system in Los Angeles. They had this 636 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: idea for a diversion program. If you were arrested for 637 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: a misdemeanor, something considered non violent, non serious, They're going 638 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: to give you a choice.
