1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Calf. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Yes,

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: welcome everybody. I'm really sluggish though, I mean, did the

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: time change? Do you win? No? I didn't notice the

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: time change because I was in Arizona over the weekend

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: and they don't change the time. Yeah. But when you

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: came back here there was an hour difference and it

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: had already gotten ordered down. Oh that's the trick, you poll.

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works, but I didn't notice anything. Well,

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: then I had to get up early and stand in

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: line to take all my money out of the bank.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: You know, there's another crisis upon us. Oh, and that

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: would take a while. No, did you do that one trip?

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: My whole thousand dollars? Did you ry your back? Very good?

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: You keep flipping your papers around there here. He did

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: a good job. We'll be talking in depth next hour

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: with Alex Stone, ABC News about what's going on with

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: these two banks that started with one Silicon Valley Bank SVB.

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Of course, that was the big news on Friday, and

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: then the news that broke yesterday was that another bank

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: looked like it's going undercalled Signature and both of the

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: bank's depositors are going to get everything. The federal government

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: made a decision that even though FDIC insurance typically only

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: extends to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a deposit,

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna By the way, SVB, most of the most

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: of them were corporations that had their money in that bank,

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: so they were well above and beyond the two hundred

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. Venture capitalists and a lot of Silicon

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: Valley startups that got their venture capital, yeah, and a

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: lot of big tech companies, and so they had some

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: of them had tens of millions of dollars right in there.

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Because two hundred and fifty thousand is for the little people. Yeah,

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: that's the intention of it, because most people don't have

34
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the savings are

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: checking account. No. No, Now, the investors aren't going to

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: be bailed out. We're just talking about the depositors. Right.

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: If you invested in the bank, well, you know, you

38
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: got to find out what happens to it if it

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: gets taken over or whatever. If you own stock of

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: the bank or you bought bonds from the bank. Yeah,

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: then you're out of luck, right right. But but I

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: mean the article's range depending on what websites you're looking at,

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: from panic to uh, this is just a little bump.

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Now they're comparing it to two thousand and eight, which

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: wasn't a little bump. I mean there were some serious

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: issues then with some you know, it depends how you

47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: want to play a news story. You could say it's

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: the second and third largest bank failure in history. You can't, Yes,

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: you can't do that, that's right, But the first would

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: have been one of the two thousand and eight banks,

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: right right, yeah, uh, but but Silicon Valley Bank was

52
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: a tiny fraction of say, JP Morgan Chase Bank of America.

53
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: It's a little tiny, it's sixteen, but it's sixteenth way

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: back in the terms of the assets they But it's

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: really important to Silicon Valley. I mean just about the

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: whole industry in that region did business through Silicon Valley Bank. Now,

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know what has also changed about bank

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: runs because it used to be if you ever saw

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: old footage of the nineteen thirties, right depression er bank runs,

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: everybody would be standing in the street. You know, there'd

61
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: be a line up my hardy news report this morning.

62
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: They were standing outside a signature National bank, not signature SVB,

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: up in the valley. That's what the reporter said. I

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: didn't see any video of that, but there probably was some.

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: But what most people did on Friday when they put

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley Bank under was they were withdrawing money online,

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: which didn't exist in two there's probably an app right

68
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: where you can just do your banking with the app right,

69
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: which is taken change and transfer these funds right, and

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: with social media. Once somebody posts, hey, something's going screwry

71
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: at Silicon Valley Bank, you better pull your funds out

72
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: than boom boom boom. It's happened. I think it was

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: like something like five hundred dollars a second. The money

74
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: was flying out of the bank electronically. Yeah. No, that's uh,

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: that's going to happen quickly. So that's why they halted

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: trading in some other bank Sheriff today because the same

77
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: thing was kind of happened. It's the investment, not the deposits,

78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: but the same kind of idea. Some people were just

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: it's happening all too fast, so they put up like

80
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: a little slow down sign and try to get to

81
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: the trading to slow down. Well, yeah, because the stocks

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: or some of these banks were down sixty seventy percent

83
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: early on. Yeah, they were exactly. Yeah. First Republic took

84
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: a took a big bath with its stock early on. Right,

85
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: So you know the reason Old Joe was hauled out.

86
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: There was six AMR. Time he came out to speak

87
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: this morning, nine am. Was to do the old thing.

88
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: Please don't run on your bank. We got this. We're

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that these two banks depositors are made

90
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: whole and don't. Don't because what they're trying to do.

91
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: A lot of what this country runs on when it

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: comes to the economy is consumer confidence. Sometimes there's too

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: much of it and we get inflation. Sometimes everybody panics

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: together and we head towards recession or even worse like

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: we did back in a bad recession. Today, this is

96
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: an after effect of the COVID lockdown. This still is

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: another reverberation because they locked down the economy, so they

98
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: had to print a lot of money and send everybody

99
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: checks and send all that money to businesses. And that

100
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: of course, oh not only they print money, they borrowed

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars. Dump that money into the system. It's

102
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: like six trillion dollars. Yeah, so that created inflation, and

103
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to admit it. They said, no others, no inflation. Oh,

104
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: nothing to see. Oh, inflation is transitory and are just

105
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: a few months. Well, then inflation blew up. It was

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: practically ten percent, especially when in the food sector. So

107
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: they had to raise interest rates quickly, and they raised

108
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: them quickly. Now what happens when you're when you're lending

109
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: money now right, you're the government and your treasury bills

110
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: are lending it a higher interest rate. Well, it means

111
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: the old treasury bills that you lent out years ago

112
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: for less than two percent not really worth very much,

113
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: are they. Now that's the thing, because if you have

114
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: a treasury bill that's getting less than two percent interest,

115
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: who are you going to sell that too? If you

116
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: have to liquidate it, nobody wants that. They're gonna want

117
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: it at a big discount, which means, you know, for

118
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: a Silicon Valley bank, the worth of these bonds on

119
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: the books wasn't anywhere near was much higher than what

120
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: it's worth in real life. Yeah. I also read the

121
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: same thing that thanks to the free money flow during

122
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the pandemic. This bank was really drawing a lot of

123
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: venture capital money and that was making up of its

124
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: deposits and some of its investment because those guys were

125
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: barring at practically zero interest, right right. It was really

126
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: a great, great sign which is over now. Yeah, so

127
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: now that this gosh centering on whether or not you

128
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: know this is something more permanent that we're going to

129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: cover everybody's deposits in the future for failing banks. But

130
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: they're saying no, And of course people are saying, well,

131
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: there still is a bailout. Well, it's a bailout for

132
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the depositors, not really for Silicon Valley Bank. They're not

133
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: doing that. The bank is probably is going to be

134
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: auctioned off from what I understand, it's for the customers. Yeah,

135
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: all the executives have been fired. The stockholders get nothing

136
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: in the bondy. They fire them, because that's what Biden

137
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: called for this morning. I'll go to be fired. Yeah,

138
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: I assume. I assume there's a process. But yeah, they're

139
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna be fired because they did a lot of stupid things.

140
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: If you read the details, it gets, you know, deep

141
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: in the weeds. You read the details of what they did.

142
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: They didn't didn't manage the whole thing properly. You know,

143
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: when the interest rates were going up to try to

144
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: combat inflation, they should have started to sell off all

145
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the bonds they held right, much more quickly, and they

146
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: held on to them. And you know, there's there's a

147
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: lot of There's a major investor who's very famous in

148
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: his circles, Peter Thiel, and he told all his clients

149
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: it's like, get out of that bank. And that's what

150
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: started to run on Friday. And he's got a huge

151
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: social media following, and if he says something, he could

152
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: start a stampede, and he did. I mean, who heard

153
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: of this bank before Friday's news, right, I mean we're

154
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: all aware of the major major banks. But I'm like,

155
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: I heard SVB senecon Valley Bank. I'm like, what is that?

156
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: And I was asking people I know who at investments.

157
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: They said, well, yeah, it's big, but it's not like

158
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: the one of the biggest bank. It's not Chase or anything,

159
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: but it's it's it's a regional bank just for the

160
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: tech industry. Right. I never heard a signature bank either

161
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: until this morning. They had some offices here there's one

162
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills. Now signature. Oh now, all right, we

163
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: got more coming up. Johnny Ken kf I AM six forty.

164
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to John

165
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: and Ken on demand from kf I AM six forty.

166
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: All right, Old Joe came out this morning, as I mentioned,

167
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: and gave a short speech about these bank failures. He's well,

168
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: he's coming in southern California and he's going to start

169
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: in San Diego. I've forgotten about this story. He's meeting

170
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the

171
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Australian Prime Minister. That was that Australia United Kingdom United

172
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: States deal, the Nuclear Submarine Partnership that they call Aucus.

173
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: Australia can access nuclear powered submarines, and that created some controversy.

174
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: I think it was it was a China or some

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: other country got really upset over it because they felt

176
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: like they got stepped in front of France. It was France.

177
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: France had made a deal that we had to pull

178
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: out of. Oh okay, I think yeah. So he then

179
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: comes to Los Angeles tomorrow, where actually he'll be in

180
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Monterey Park to talk about reducing gun violence, a story

181
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: that is now about two months old. And I don't

182
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: think any of this. Clearly he's going to be pepper

183
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: by reporters with questions about the banks, probably whatever the

184
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: hottest news story is. I mean, he scheduled these trips

185
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: and then that the news kind of takes over. Nobody

186
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: wants to hear him prattling about gun control. Oh my god,

187
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: I just stop. Stop, that's never happening. And then of

188
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: course there's a fundraiser. Yeah, he's coming to my house

189
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: to take a nap. Is he really? Yeah? Yeah, we're

190
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: pretty much right. You're close to or a lot of

191
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: the activities were along the way of the fundraisers. So

192
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: we got it. We got a room in the basement.

193
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna, oh, that's very nice of him, take about

194
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: a three and a half hour nap to recharge. The

195
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: other story that came down late last week, well we

196
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: don't know where it's gonna end up, but it's not

197
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: particularly good news. Um. The leader of the Democrats in

198
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: the US Senate, Chuck Schumer from New York, says that

199
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: sometime this week or next week, the full Senate will

200
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: vote on yoga pants. Uh, there will he says, Now,

201
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: you and I both agree, and this is how it

202
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: works in politics. He's not gonna actually hold a vote

203
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,119
Speaker 1: unless he's confident that he has enough votes for Garsetti

204
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: to be approved as the next ambassador to Indeed, this

205
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: is going to push all the fence centers to take

206
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: a stand, and they're gonna have to tell Schumer beforehand

207
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: which way they're going, and if he doesn't have enough,

208
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: then he'll pull the vote and come up with some

209
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: cover story that nobody believes, right, because you can't keep

210
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: going out there and calling for votes. They don't want

211
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: to do it when you're confident it's gonna work, or

212
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: otherwise you wait and you continue to lobby people, which

213
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: is what Garsetti has been doing now, Chum for what

214
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: seems like two years. Well, Schumer cannot embarrass Biden. The

215
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: terrible embarrassment if a president doesn't get his nominee from

216
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: a Senate run by his own party, right, So I'm

217
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: not going to They don't care about Garsetti, you know,

218
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: he's just another parasite. It's Biden that they're going to protect. Right.

219
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: So if you hear there's absolutely a vote coming on,

220
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: it means they twisted enough arms to get it going.

221
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: And I but do we know if Feinstein and Fetterman

222
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: will be actually back in their voting yet or how

223
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: she doing their shingles? Do we have I don't really know.

224
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: She's out of the hospital. Yeah, I don't think either

225
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: one is going to be there. If that's two Democrats,

226
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: so right, I would wait then, Well, that that brings

227
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: it down to forty nine. Forty nine with Kamela Harris

228
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: is the tie breaking vote, Yeah, it means they have.

229
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: But he might have a couple of Republicans on his side.

230
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: He does because to a couple of them voted to

231
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: put his nomination out of committee until the full Senate floor.

232
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: Two Republicans but agreed to do that, So so it's

233
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: likely that they would also vote for him fumination. You

234
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: can officially declare the me too era over if if

235
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: he gets approved as ambassador, then it was all just

236
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: bs to jump out a trend. Yeah, who are these guys?

237
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: Todd Young of Indiana and Bill Haggerty of Tennessee. As

238
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: much as you complain that there's too much partisanship and

239
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: people just vote along party lines, why were these two

240
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: Republican hacks supporting garcetire you, I don't know. I mean, normally,

241
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: the gut instinct is just say, oh, we're not gonna wait.

242
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: I gotta hold this up. They did this to Trump.

243
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: They do this all the time. They just sit there

244
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: and sit on the Indian ambassadors. That important. It's not

245
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: anybody name the last ten Indian ambassadors. Oh no, it's

246
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: not important. It's only important that we stop him because

247
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: we want to make him embarrassed. Right yeah, Oh you

248
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: mean to these two guys who don't I don't think

249
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: about La or Garcetti or care about the politics and

250
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: the nasse of this man and his yoga pants and

251
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: his it's the Democrats have to care because they're they're

252
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: they hypocrites about me too. Nonsense. They're the ones who

253
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: are preaching and scolding. The Republicans don't do much of that.

254
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: Must go back to into a corner. Now, Oh we're

255
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna get I mean, if he gets approving all these

256
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: speeches about Oh yeah, I always was confident and I

257
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: really just put my head down and focus start getting

258
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: this nomination through. And I'm proud of people that voted

259
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: for me. I'm ready to do the job. It's a

260
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: good litmus test, and you know, sexual harassment at work

261
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, you're right now, that crowd it

262
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: looked like phonies, don't they because yet, right, because if

263
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: you don't put Garcetti away over this, then all right,

264
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: why should anybody else have to deal with that kind

265
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: of issue? No, it's the new new. We got to

266
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: a woman that's about to become the United States Labor

267
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: Secretary who handed out over thirty billion dollars in fraud

268
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: money when she was running the Employment Development Department. Here's

269
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: nothing matters anymore. Oh, a promotion for the most incompetent, right, Well,

270
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: they're rewarded now because of what they do for the party. Yes,

271
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Americans are more onto this than they used to be.

272
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: But it is all about our side and the party.

273
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Garcetti was one of the stupid chairman of Biden's campaign.

274
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: This is his reward, you know. Four years later he

275
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: bundled a lot of money from rich Democrats in Los Angeles,

276
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: That's what he did, and he got to be co

277
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: chairman of the campaign. And that's that's that's the reward.

278
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: You give the reward, you know, to your political buddies

279
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: or to people who raised money for you, and that's

280
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: how you get to be an ambassador and then you

281
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: sit around and drink for four years. The Times of

282
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: India put out a story right after this news came

283
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: out last week that they're probably going to vote on

284
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: his nomination, and they did like a here's all you

285
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: need to know about Eric Garcetti, beginning with he was

286
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: born February nineteen seventy one in Los Angeles, a member

287
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party and first elected in twenty thirteen

288
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: as mayor, re elected in twenty seventeen. But then you

289
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: scroll down and it really gets ridiculous. Elected as the

290
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: youngest mayor in over one hundred years forty two at

291
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the time is as inauguration, the first elected Jewish mayor

292
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: and the second consecutive Mexican American mayor. Gee, I don't

293
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: know that when people saw Garcetti, if they picked all that. Yeah,

294
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: his name sounds Italian and that's about where it being.

295
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: He looks like a white guy. That's where it begins

296
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: at ends. Definitely doesn't look Mexican. Oh god, it doesn't

297
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: seem I mean, it doesn't seem anything. Really. The emphasis

298
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: on ethnicity is just so overwhelming now it's hard to

299
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: even work up anger over it, because it's just you're

300
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: pummeled with it. I know anything in the article about

301
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: what a massive failure he was, Oh no, it's all

302
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: about it. His endorsements one odd one here, a vocal

303
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: opponent of the Yes California secessionist movement. I don't remember

304
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: him being a Is that what those counties wanted to

305
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: get out of the state? Is that what that's about.

306
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: I guess the guy who wrote it probably lives in

307
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: New Delhi and he has no idea what's going on here. Yeah,

308
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: he did a Google search and some of these topics

309
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: bounced out. I don't I don't even know what that is. Yeah,

310
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: the only thing. Finally, at the end, they mentioned Garcetti

311
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: has faced controversy over his handing of a sex misconduct scandal,

312
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: of the misconducts an I soft word, and involving his

313
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: top advisor, Rick Jacobs, which has led to his nomination

314
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: being held by some senators. That's how they expressed it,

315
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: being held by some senator. City is a disaster. Even

316
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats who are still have are still in office. Here,

317
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: you see how they tiptoe around the disaster. Garcita left

318
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: behind and I wonder, why is it that nobody wants

319
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: to come out, somebody, somebody a prominence, somebody with a

320
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: real position, come out and say that he was the

321
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: worst mayor LA ever had. I listening to like Karen

322
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: Bass talk about you know the challengers we have. Why

323
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: do you have those challenges? Because you had a moron

324
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: acting as mayor for the last nine and a half years.

325
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: That's how we ended up with forty thousand bodies in

326
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: the street. Yeah, well Prop forty seven wasn't in his control.

327
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Of course, that was a big contributor. But he did nothing.

328
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: That's the key point. You know. When I first learned

329
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: this too, Remember back when we were doing all the

330
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: garbage stories there were garbage of ten. Four was doing

331
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: these great reports on just trash everywhere, and I thought,

332
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: this looks like an easy one and he's doing nothing.

333
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: He's acting like he doesn't even know what's happened. And

334
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: then we had the rats and city Hall, we had

335
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: the fleas that had played that's right, and all of that.

336
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: It was like he just all the crime, the smash

337
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: and grab robberies that I came a couple of years later,

338
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: poor girl who got stabbed to death, at the furniture store.

339
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: And the only thing when I think of Garcetti and

340
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: the police, all I think is him taking the knee

341
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: during the George Floyd protests. Right, that's all he did,

342
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: just cut the legs out from under lapd. That that

343
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: was his big contribution. I mean, he was my god.

344
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: He was like a toxic disaster. And now nobody, nobody

345
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: speaks of him. Everybody pretends that whatever massive problems La has, uh,

346
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: they just happened. It just occurred. Well, now India can

347
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: have him. Maybe. Yeah, we're coming up Johnny kN k

348
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: I AM sixty forty. We're live everywhere the iHeart Radio app.

349
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from kf

350
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: I Am sixty. We're on for one to four every

351
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: day after four o'clock you could hear the podcast, same

352
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: show podcast for him, the iHeart Radio app John and

353
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: on demand. Yeah, oh wait, I'm taking a quiz. Do

354
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: you know the symptoms of IBS hyphen D which stands

355
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: for irritable bowe syndrome with diarrhea. Should take the test

356
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: and see if I have a find out about your gut.

357
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: I guess yeah. We will talk about the situation with

358
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: the banks running into some problems. Silicon Valley Bank and

359
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: of course Signature Bank was the one announced yesterday. We'll

360
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: be talking to Alex Stone ABC News for CAFI all

361
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: right after the news at two o'clock for the latest. Hey,

362
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, not long after the Chinese had those balloons

363
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: flying over the US. Yeah, guess what happened? Space junk

364
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: hit Texas. Yep, a four ton piece of Chinese space

365
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: junk apparently made free fall to Earth last week and

366
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: disintegrated eventually over Texas. So I don't think anybody got

367
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: hit on the ground. So again saying that they don't

368
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: take care of their space rockets, another cheap made in

369
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: China product like the vaccines. Yeah, there you go. So

370
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: one day, if you're walking along and something weird drops

371
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: out of the sky and almost kills it, could they

372
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: Chinese space junk? Was it the spy equipment? No, they

373
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: said it was a rocket. Well well yeah, alright, so,

374
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: oh you're right, the remnants of a Chinese rocket that

375
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: delivered a trio of military spy satellites. Yeah, look at

376
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: that up. And they launched them in June and they

377
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: disintegrated on March eighth over Texas. How many pictures do

378
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: they need of us? I mean, what is it they're

379
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: looking for? They want to be the dominant world power period,

380
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: So are they mapping out our entire country? Didn't Google

381
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: already do that? I have no question now. And I

382
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: think that president just got another term President g Yeah,

383
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: he's pretty much a dictator now. Yeah, And I think

384
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: that as their plans, it's military, economic domination, it's everything

385
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: they're looking for. So yeah, And if you want to

386
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: be dominant in those era eras, those areas, you have

387
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: to spy them the people, see what they're up to,

388
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: see what you can gather from that. Yeah, And then

389
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: you have to leak a deadly virus and kill millions

390
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: of people. That's right, they're working on another one, aren't they. Yeah,

391
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: and then send them a deadly drug to kill all

392
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: the teenagers off. So far, so good. You're probably aware

393
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: by now that it's going to rain again in southern

394
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: California tomorrow. The draft has been so terrible, it's been

395
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: so many years, hardly hardly a drop. This is good

396
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: for us. And this is all part of Lannina. Remember

397
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: that was the official prediction. This is a Lannina winter,

398
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: which seems to be dryer. But they're declaring Lannina over

399
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: No I'm not. I'm serious. We were ever in Ladenia.

400
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: We were we were in Lannina. It was a wet

401
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: How could we be in la It's a wet Landina,

402
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: which is kind of the opposite of what it's supposed

403
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: to be. And then we are must to be a cooler,

404
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: dryer winter. We're now in a neutral state. We are cooler. Though,

405
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: was a cooler winter? I thought, oh it was cold? Yeah, yeah,

406
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: it was one of the coldest I remember. Why don't

407
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: we just tune those people out at least and then

408
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: and then El Nino is coming later this year. Yes,

409
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. That means we're going to go back

410
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: in the drought. Yeah, just just a figure. It's going

411
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: to be the reverse of the prediction. I mean, this

412
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: really grabbed my eyes this morning. Fifty two feet and

413
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: counting Lake Tahoe grapples with a ginormous snow pad. Fifty

414
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: two feet two feet. Fifty two feet of snow has

415
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: been measured up in Tahoe, so that would be what

416
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: five hundred and some odd inches. The picture the snow

417
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: on top of the people's roofs, which they're thankfully elapsing.

418
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: But but now I think, from what I understand, just

419
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: to be really uh wild about this, if this were

420
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: all the milk quickly, I think the entire state would

421
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: go into water, and then we look at the supply

422
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: we would have. Right, well, they should be digging ditches

423
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: now to collect all this runoff. To be specific, this

424
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: was fifty two feet of snow at the UC Berkeley

425
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: Central Sierra Snow Lab. Oh, it's a top donor summit,

426
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: and it ties the nineteen eighty one nineteen eighty two

427
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: season for the fourth highest total since the lab was

428
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: created in nineteen forty six. Although you and I like

429
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: to say, nineteen forty six is that really that long

430
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: ago when you look at the history of weather, No,

431
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: it is not so. No, it's what seventy five years.

432
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: They think this season's going to end up second only

433
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: to the nineteen fifty one fifty two winter season win

434
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: eight hundred and twelve inches sixty eight feet now of

435
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: snow fell. This shuts down, obviously all the drought. No

436
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: it doesn't, but it is behind declaring it. And also

437
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: this is the answer to anybody who says, well, you know,

438
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: we really don't we really need more rain. You should

439
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: have saved all the snow and rain from this past winter.

440
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: You should have built storage systems whatever it takes, and

441
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: collected all this and then we wouldn't have to worry

442
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: for twenty years whether it rains or not. This is

443
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: on the stupid government. This was your big chance. One

444
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: of the reasons we hear that there is still a

445
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: drought is because of the groundwater problem. But there we

446
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: just found out there's a story that the Water Resources

447
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Control Board is apparently endorsing a plan to take some

448
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: of the floodwaters and send them to the agricultural areas

449
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: to replenish the groundwater. That's right, stick a pipe down

450
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: there that whatever you have to do, so the next

451
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: time we run out of rain for a while, the

452
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: farmers aren't digging so deep as the ground's collapsing looking

453
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: for groundwater for their crops or whatever they need. There,

454
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't it naturally get into the ground. We do. We

455
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: actually have to direct it well, because they didn't get

456
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't think as much rain as some other parts

457
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: of the state I see, So that's nice. It doesn't

458
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: fall equally well ahead, then again, dig a hole and

459
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: because the groundwater was so so completely dreads from there

460
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: that they need a lot more. Even if it rained there,

461
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: they need a lot more water to replenish the groundwater supply.

462
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: So I just I'm just fascinating how everyone, especially in

463
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: these media heads, are constantly surprised that the Earth doesn't

464
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: supply us with exactly the right amount of weather at

465
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: all times. You know, they keep acting like, oh my god,

466
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: can you believe this, Oh it's another emergency, it's another crisis.

467
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's the Earth doing whatever the Earth does.

468
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: And nature doesn't know that we need X amount of

469
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: water to grow our falfa plants right, or that you know,

470
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a little too hot this year and we don't

471
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: have enough electricity for the air conditioning. You know that

472
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: the cycle up there just goes on and on. Nobody

473
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: knows how it works, and he really don't know how

474
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: it works, like you know, the wrong Lnenia prediction we

475
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: had this year. Don't know how anything works. They pretend to.

476
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: They give themselves degrees, they give themselves titles at their

477
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: climate research centers, but they have no idea and they're

478
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: consistently wrong. It's fascinating how wrong all the exit we

479
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: have such a huge expert class in this country, and

480
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: they don't know crap, and they're always making predictions and

481
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: they're always wrong. And then they get all they puff

482
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: their chests and they get arrogant and they make another

483
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: wrong prediction. Now, the earth is not designed to meet

484
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: our needs, you know, three hundred and sixty five days

485
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: a year. You gotta roll with it. One other note

486
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: about the farmers is some areas of the state, obviously,

487
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, have gotten a lot of snow. So

488
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: apparently there's so much snow on the ground the cattle

489
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: can't find any of the grass to eat. So they're

490
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: doing emergency hay drops, helicopters flying a red and dropping

491
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: bales of hay for the cattle to eat. Farmers have

492
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: been crying for this because some of them are out

493
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: there stranded and starving because some of these ran just

494
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: a vast lands of cows. Are kind of dumb. They

495
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: are kind of dumb. Yesterday they don't know they got,

496
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, start scooping the snow out with their hooves.

497
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: Do you think if the hay hits them on the head,

498
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: they'll know to eat it when they gets dropped from

499
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: the That would be kind of sad too. A cow

500
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: and it went down. Guys are mean. Thows are not stupid,

501
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they would know. If the hay falls

502
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: on the ground, they walk over and eat it. Yes, yeah,

503
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: they might just stare at it and wonder what if

504
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: they're hungry. They'll eat it because they're used to getting

505
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: down to the grass on the ground. They're not used

506
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: to something coming out of the sky and just landing

507
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: in front of them. I think they'll figure it out.

508
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: I have faith in the cows. I think the farmer,

509
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is box and him on

510
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: the head? What did you do, Charlie? Stop kicking me?

511
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up. Calf I am

512
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: six forty, We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app you're listening

513
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: to and Ken on demand from KFI. All right, a

514
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: full rundown over these bank failures coming up at two

515
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: oh five Alex Stone ABC News with all the latest

516
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: on that story. And then it's a couple of stories

517
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: related to the Silicon Valley bank that failed that we

518
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: have to get into. They were big into climate adventures.

519
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they have a whole woke agenda. By the way,

520
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, there is a line of people at

521
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: the Silicon Valley Bank branch there. See. Yeah, but I

522
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: thought everybody was had a lot of money in there.

523
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we have people waiting for them.

524
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: These are the people who don't have online accounts or

525
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: basically go to the bank, or maybe the online system

526
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work anymore, because I heard after a while people

527
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: were getting error messages and it was the kind of

528
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: error message that means the servers overloaded. So well, the

529
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: number is three, that is how many people picked. Michael

530
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: James Gubatosi too, and the John and Ken twenty twenty three,

531
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: good pool. Who who is Michael James guptild on? Hold on,

532
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: hold on, Eric, I'll let you know. Michael James Gupatosis,

533
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: Robert Blake. John That was his that was his birth name.

534
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Oh and you may not have known that Johnny was

535
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: born in New Jersey, just like you. Oh, he was

536
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: a New Jersey guy. Definitely. You may not know this,

537
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: but his father was actually his uncle. I didn't know that,

538
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: did you. He learned that his biological father was actually

539
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: his father's brother, his uncle Tony, who had an affair

540
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: with his mother's that's a tough way to start. So

541
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: the uncle boffed his mother, yes, and then they covered

542
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: it up all these years. It just says later learned.

543
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know when he found out, but his father

544
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: is listed on the birth certificate James Gupatosi. But his

545
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: actual father was father was his uncle, and his uncle

546
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: was his father, right right, and and and and his

547
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: mother was was taken on both brothers. Looks like it. Yes,

548
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: I wonder he's crazy. So, as you know, he was

549
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: a child actor, and then he had a lot of

550
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: trouble with drugs, and then of course he got a

551
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: lot of critical acclaim because he was in the movie

552
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: in Cold Blood in nineteen sixty seven, which people thought

553
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: was an incredible film as a Truman Campode novel about

554
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: the killer. He played two killers and got got awards

555
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: for both. Yeah, but you know, then he turned to

556
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: television and then his whole acting world dried up. And

557
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: then he ended up with a wife by the name

558
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: of Bonnie Lee Bakley. And that's whether John and Kent's

559
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: show came in, because back in two thousand and one

560
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: she was found shot dead. They've gone to dinner at

561
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: that Italian restaurant Jellos right, had a Robert Blake pasta

562
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: special on it. I've got a Vitelli's a few times.

563
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: It's good food there. They have found the murder weapon

564
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: in a nearby dumpster, and I still remember Eric Lettery

565
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: covered that story and he said apparently he was at

566
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: the scene and Blake was vomiting all over the place

567
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: or something like. That's right. However, Blake was acquitted of

568
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: the murder. Yeah, two thousand and another incredibly stupid jury.

569
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: That was the whole era of stupid Southern California juries. Right,

570
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: you could shoot somebody on video, live on television and

571
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: admit to it at the moment, and you'd find a

572
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: jury to quit you anyway, if you were if you

573
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: were famous. Now that's what Blake had gone for him.

574
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: He was famous. They couldn't get Oja guilty. They couldn't

575
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: get Michael Jackson, they couldn't get Robert Blake. I just

576
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: read a story about baby Rosie. Well, now she's an adult,

577
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 1: she wants to get into acting too. Remembers he had

578
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: a he had a daughter with Ronnie Lee Bakley and Rosie. Yeah,

579
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: but there was no question he killed her. No, there

580
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: was no They never did find the real murderer John,

581
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: and he lost a thirty million dollars civil judgment because

582
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: just like OJ in a civil case, you had to testify.

583
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: And when OJ went to testifying the civil case and

584
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: we were there at that one, he did terribly right

585
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: because you and Robert Blake did terribly as well. It

586
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: was eventually cut to fifteen million, but he had to

587
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: file for bankruptcy. Now we'll bring out some of the

588
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: old John and Kenn audio. One of my favorites John

589
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: is the mashup with Robert Blake and Larry King. Remember

590
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Robert King was interviewing Robert Blake and was one of

591
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: the most bizarre interviews ever because they both sort of

592
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: kept repeating themselves. I couldn't even figure out what they

593
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: were saying. They got Clay who ran the board then

594
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: made a song out of her. Remember, yeah, play that first.

595
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: You know you didn't do it? You know that? Yeah, No,

596
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: we weren't there. Who do you think? Did somebody killed her?

597
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: You really want to go there? Who do you think?

598
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: Who do you think? How do I know? How do

599
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: I know? Because you know people that she knew, I

600
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: don't know people to try, don't know who do you think?

601
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: Who do you think? I know? Who do you think?

602
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: Who do you think? No? No, no, no, look like

603
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: you know people that she knew. I don't know. I

604
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know. You told me your dyslestic. You dyslectic, right,

605
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm severely dyslectic. Marine experience. Never. I wish we would

606
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: stay on this. I don't know. That's where we're going.

607
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: Everybody else, I'm gonna talk about this. It was I
