Now, we're going to talk to Tom Luna, 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: and he's the father of Andrew Yuna. Luna Rather, Andrew 30 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: is a senior at Granada Hills Charter High School. He 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: did not get vaccinated, and even though life has changed 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: significantly regarding the need for vaccination, especially as a young 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: man of eighteen years old, they will not They would 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: not let him go to the prom, they would not 35 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: let him go to senior awards night, and they will 36 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: not let him take part in the graduation ceremony. In fact, 37 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: he missed out on the entire last semester of his 38 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: senior year on campus because they're still enforcing this absurd, 39 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: unnecessary vaccination policy. Let's get let's get Tom Luna on 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: the dad, Tom, how are you good? How are you? 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: We're good? Why didn't your son get vaccinated? What were 42 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: his reasons? Well, we have a few reasons why he 43 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: didn't get vaccinated. First of all, we have a religious reason, 44 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: and not alone should be enough. But we also wanted 45 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: to wait and see what the long term effects are 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: of these vaccines, and and just looking at the laundry 47 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: list of side effects that are coming out, I'm pretty 48 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: sure we made the right decision. And then after that, 49 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: we still let Andrew make his own decision, and he 50 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: decided not to get the vaccine, and we stand by 51 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: his decision. And his reasons were similar to yours, Yes, 52 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: very much similar. Um. And the biggest reason is that 53 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: these vaccines just don't work. I mean they don't. They 54 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: don't stop anyone from transmitting it being infected. They just hasn't. 55 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: I'm not sold on these vaccines at all. Well, that's 56 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 1: what's interesting. As time has gone on, Yeah, you can 57 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: still spread it, you can still get it. I mean, 58 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: the major benefit, it seems, is that you won't end 59 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: up in the hospital most likely, But eighteen year olds 60 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: weren't being hospitalized anyway. Uh, you know, they were, they 61 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: were the most resilient of all the age groups. I 62 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: mean then the number of eighteen year olds in prison, 63 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: in prison, in hospitals for COVID really was almost near 64 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: zero statistically. So what what is what is the school's 65 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: obsession here? I wish I knew, but I think it's ridiculous, 66 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: and you described it perfectly. It's absurd and and it's unnecessary. 67 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's it's just ridiculous, is what it is. 68 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: All the rest of LAUSD has pushed these vaccine mandates 69 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: for all the way back to at least July of 70 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. But this one school, and it just 71 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: happens to be our home school, UH came out with 72 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: their own vaccine mandate and because of the mandate, my 73 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: son can't go to school there anymore. It's a charter school, 74 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: so it doesn't have to abide by the general LAUSD policy. 75 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: That's correct. So all the other schools in regular La 76 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: LAUSD that system have they just kicked the can down 77 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: the road till next year exactly exactly. And what's what 78 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: really bothers me is that you know, all these kids 79 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: can go to a movie theater, they can go to 80 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: a baseball game, they can go and visit each other 81 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: on the weekends, but they just can't go to school together. 82 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: And that's that doesn't make anything. First of all, every 83 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: somebody else is vaccinated in the school, So who who 84 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: are they going to hurt? Even if your son got 85 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: it and he can get it anyway, whether he's vaccinated 86 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: or not, who is he going to give it to? 87 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: And actually their vaccine doesn't even stop them from getting it. 88 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: The whole thing is, you're absurd, yeah, and it's it 89 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: is absurd. And now they've they've actually taken some of 90 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: the some of the kids who are exempt from the vaccines, 91 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: such as the ones with the disabilities and everything. They 92 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: don't have to be vaccinated. But now they're telling these 93 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: kids that although they are exempt from getting the vaccine 94 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: to go to school, now they're not being allowed to graduate. 95 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: And that is totally ridiculous because they can go to 96 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: class with all these kids and it's spend the entire 97 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: day with them, but they won't let him walk on stage, 98 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: and that's just totally ridiculous. They're blaming the uptick in 99 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: COVID cases and apparently they won't let your son just 100 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: take a test and get negative results and come in 101 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: and get his diploma right, and this upticks I mean, 102 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, this uptick in COVID cases. When 103 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: did this uptake occur? That's what I want to know, 104 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: because they've been planning this since last year. Oh it's 105 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: been it's been going up and down for for two 106 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: and a half years. There's a there's a there's a 107 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: wave and it recedes. And there's a wave and it recedes. 108 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: That's that's the way these things work. It doesn't matter 109 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: if there's an uptick or a downtick. I'm talking about 110 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: the I'm talking about the mandate for the vaccine. The 111 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: mandate has been going on since since the fall of 112 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: last year. So if they're talking about an uptick in cases, 113 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: that uptick had to have taken place last year. That's 114 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: what they're referring to. Have you had I sit down 115 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: conversations with anybody to address the absurdity. I have had 116 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: conversations with UM, a couple of people within the school, 117 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: and UH the director for the Board of Charter Schools, 118 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: and UH. Basically they're just saying that the same thing 119 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: that UM Coronada Hills Charter is saying that there is 120 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: they're a charter school and they can make their own rules, 121 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: and that's no. But if they talk about why, I mean, 122 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: once you lay out the discussion we just had, Uh, 123 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: what's your response. I mean, I mean, it's it's pretty 124 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: pretty cut and dried. They told me the same thing 125 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: that you just said. There's an uptick in cases, and 126 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: we feel that it's necessary to have a mandate for 127 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: the vaccines. Well, the upticking cases has nothing to do 128 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: with the effectiveness of the vaccines though. Oh no, I agree. 129 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: So he's missed everything, the senior prom he's never been 130 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: in class since last fall, and now we can't go 131 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: to the graduation in person. That's correct for keeping them 132 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: out of everything, and it's it's just not fair to 133 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: these kids. I mean, these kids have burned the right 134 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: to go to graduation and being denied. They're putting out 135 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: the argument that we have a ninety nine percent vaccination rate. 136 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: So there, but but that's the argument that he doesn't 137 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: need it. Well, they got a ninety nine percent vaccination 138 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: rate because they kicked out all the vaccinated students. It's true. Oh, 139 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: I see so much. Well, so there's still one percent 140 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: in there without the vaccine or what did he he yet? 141 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Did he have any regrets along the way? Did he 142 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: did he come to you and saying, well maybe I 143 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: should maybe I should change my mind here. Well, you 144 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: know when this all started, you know, we gave him 145 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: the choice. We told him at first, we told him 146 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: that they're not getting vaccinated, it's not safe. Then we 147 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: gave him the choice because because there's so much stuff 148 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: in the school that it wasn't very important to him. 149 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: He was he was actually on the yearbook committee, designed 150 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: the year of book. He was he designed their their 151 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: senior sweatshirt, he was the president of their art club, 152 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, of course was very important to him, 153 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: but it all went away when they kicked him out 154 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: of school. So we actually let him make his own decision, 155 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and he decided to give up, give all that up, 156 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: and stick to his guns. And we're very proud of 157 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: him for Yeah. No, he should be admired for not 158 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: giving into this. Uh, definitely, I guess there was a 159 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: rally to day of supporters. Oh, I'm sorry, what was on? 160 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: There was a rally today of supporters outside the school 161 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: or oh, yes, there were there were a lot of 162 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: supporters out there today, Um, speaking their mind. And uh, 163 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: you know there's also about seventy other seniors that are 164 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: not able to graduate because for the same reason, they 165 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: kicked out over one hundred and seventy kids altogether. Um 166 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: and uh, it's just unfair. One hundred and seventy kids. Yes, 167 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: and the community is not even aware of it. And 168 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: that's that's part of the problem, is that people don't 169 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: know what's going on, and the schools they're completely out 170 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: of their mind. Hundred sounds like Barbara freyre is running it. 171 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: One hundred seventy kids they kicked out for a vaccine 172 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: that doesn't stop the spread. That's that's great, forced them 173 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: all into online urning.

I passed a little table this weekend of 186 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: people still collecting signatures to recall La County District Attorney 187 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: George Gascone. I mean they're in the last month or 188 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: so of signature collecting. In the last update we got 189 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty thousand signatures and growing strong. But 190 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: they need to eclipse six hundred maybe even towards seven 191 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: hundred thousand signatures. If you can help, it's recalled DA 192 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: George Gascone dot com. You have to be an La 193 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: County voter to sign the petition. I mentioned last week 194 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: that they were mailing them to households, which is another 195 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: great way to reach even more people, So please do that. 196 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: We'll be watching closely. Next week, San Francisco will vote 197 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: on recalling their DA Tessa Bodin, and that could be 198 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: a harbinger of things to come. Here. We've been talking, 199 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: of course, about the mass shooting in Uvaldi, Texas, had 200 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: killed nineteen school children and two teachers and what to 201 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: do about kids that are clearly making threats on social media. 202 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: They're acting out, they're acting violent. We told you that 203 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: the Texas mass shooter apparently was parading around a bag 204 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: of dead cats. He was an animal tortur. Now we 205 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: go to Florida for a completely sort of the opposite 206 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: from his sheriff. It's in Lee County, Florida. His name 207 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: is Carmine Murcino. And what he did that made news 208 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: recently is he perp walked a ten year old by 209 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: the name of Daniel Marquez who had threatened to school shooting. 210 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: He sent the text to one of his friends with 211 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: a photo that he had purchased four assault rifles and 212 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: he said get ready. Well, the friend turned him in 213 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: the sheriff who's been going on the talk circuit, and 214 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: he spoke to the Daily Mail. He doesn't put up 215 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: with this. The vast majority of parents come forward and 216 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: tell me, thank you for doing that. My child is 217 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: now afraid of the consequences. It's changing the way we behave, 218 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: it's changing the way children think. He thinks parents have 219 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: become too concerned that they'll be accused of abuse something 220 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: worse if they call out their kid for this kind 221 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: of behavior. Yeah, now we've got we've got a society 222 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: that's afraid to make critical thoughts either out, say them 223 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: out loud, make them in public, say them to your kids, 224 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: say them to other people. Everyone's afraid to speak out. 225 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: And when you get a ten year old who feels 226 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: comfortable making threats and passing around photos of the guns 227 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: he's going to use to shoot, when you see that 228 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: he's comfortable doing that, what does that tell you? It's 229 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: like all the crime we're dealing with in la He 230 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: knows there's no consequences. He knows he can pass it 231 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: off as a joke. Maybe it's a joke. Maybe it's 232 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: not a joke. Maybe that defense can never be accepted. 233 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: Oh I was just joking. Oh I don't believe you. 234 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: How do I know that? That's what they all say, 235 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: all the killers say, Oh I was just joking. So 236 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: he cuffed the kid, he walked him to the patrol 237 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: car in front of the media, and then he posted 238 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: his mug shot. Good. He said, all this is to 239 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: make the point that if you don't, I guess he 240 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: calls it scared straight. Remember that term from years ago. 241 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: He will continue to release juvenile mug shots. He's done 242 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: this in the past. In fact, there's a collection of 243 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: this ten year old boy to who's like he really 244 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: looks about eight. But they put out mug shots of 245 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: the other under I guess eighteen year olds that they 246 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: have a charge. Wise, he says, he thinks this is 247 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: a way even if they don't end up with any 248 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: real case. Again, so because they're juveniles, probably not, this 249 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: is something that will stick in their head that they 250 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: were paraded handcuffed. Oh, it's trauma taking a photo of Oh, 251 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: and it's a good trauma to have. It's again, it's 252 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: it's it's a great message. This is this is the 253 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: example everybody else needs to see. You're not You're not 254 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: going to get these cases very much. We can stop 255 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: wasting our time now with the jokester guys who are 256 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: calling in pranks or you know, sending messages just to 257 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: see the reaction. At least clear those guys off the 258 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: table and you can focus on the truly insane. He 259 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: apparently texted his friend a image of four assault rifles. 260 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: He said, get ready for Water Day, referencing a school 261 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: sponsored event which students participate in water activities like playing 262 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: in sprinklers, but because he meant in different waters, he 263 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: was too detailed at ten, like he had he had 264 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: the right scary phrase to use, get ready for water day, 265 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: like he knew okay, big crowd outdoors. He knew that 266 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: it would be easy to pull this off. Right, gives 267 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: his threat more credibility. He knows you put photos of 268 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: guns again, more credibility. He knew they would believe it 269 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: more like he had the whole language of a shooter down. 270 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a joke. The sheriff said, 271 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: we have a ten year old to fifth grade of 272 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: that sends text messages that circulate, pictures of loads of money, 273 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: pictures of rifles, written threats. After that, he said we 274 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: couldn't overlook this, and he said, I'm going to take 275 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: this to the extreme because you know what, maybe he 276 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't have shot up the school, But if I keep 277 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: nabbing these kids, I may eventually nab the one that 278 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: is going to throw up. Also, there's something wrong with 279 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: him because it's a very Even if it is a joke, 280 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: it's a really hostile joke. It's not a joke that 281 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: was meant for people to laugh at. I don't even 282 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: think joke is the right word. It was. It's a prank. 283 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: It's a prank to make people feel terrible. Little boys 284 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: like chaos sometimes, yeah, I know, but it's it's really 285 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: to get people. Usually they just torture little girls or 286 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: something like that. But well that's different, that's fun. Now 287 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: we're in a different age where this kid watches the 288 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: news and he's like, Wow, that could be impactful. Don't 289 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: I pretend I'm going to shoot up the school. It's 290 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: not like pauling Debra's ponytail in fifth grade. I had 291 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: mean boys in my life. I'll bet I did. They 292 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: always picked on you, not just boys, girls too, because 293 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: I was so short. Oh that's right, Yeah, I forgot 294 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: a small thing. Really, yes, really, please get it out. 295 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: They didn't find you cute, maybe they did. But little Debbie, 296 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I was called little Debbie. And yeah, like 297 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: the snack cake. Oh yeah, people still I forgot about that. 298 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: Don't refer to those things. But yeah, people used to 299 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: make fun of me because I was sure. It's very clean, 300 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: very cool. I don't think there's a lot of sheriffs 301 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: like this, which is why he's been going on the 302 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: TV circuit. He was on Fox News and the Daily Mail. 303 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: But he says, what we got, we gotta do something 304 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: to get it out of these kids because another kid 305 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: may see this and think, all right, I'm not going 306 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: to pull that joke because you out in that county, right, 307 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: because it's not funny. It causes terror, because it causes 308 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: panic attacks. You made this gets out, you know how 309 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: many how many mothers and fathers are going to freak out, 310 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: They're gonna be running to buy guns. You could, you 311 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: could create some terrible incident panicking people like that. Everybody's 312 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: on edge now about schools. Now, there may be something 313 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: wrong with him that he wanted to cause that kind 314 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: of reaction. Yes, you would think if there are any parents, 315 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: they might want to take a closer look at what 316 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: their kids up to and what his issues are. All Right, 317 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: we got more covered up Johnny Ken Show. Deborah Mark 318 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: has news what Little Debbie.

They are not cooperating 324 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: with any investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety. 325 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: Those are the state investigators, and they told them no, 326 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: no interviews. We're not talking to you, We're not giving 327 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: you anything.

You don't know. 329 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: They're in deep doo doo here. They don't want to 330 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: give up anything that could be incriminating or result in 331 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: big civil payouts. They don't want to take responsibility. They 332 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: owe this to the parents. First of all, the payouts 333 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: are going to be the insurance companies. Why don't you 334 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: you owe to the parents and the brothers and sisters 335 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: and the family members and the friends and the whole town. 336 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't think there's enough insurance to cover what they're 337 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 1: gonna have to pay for the deaths of nineteen children. 338 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: There's no way. It's going to have to come from 339 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: the coffers of the town and maybe beyond that, the state. 340 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: There's only so much money in the town. You know, 341 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: it's sixteen thousand people. There's no way to get enough 342 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: money to account for this anyway. Yeah, that money is money, 343 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: doesn't bring any of the kids back. You know, I'm 344 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: sure some of the parents don't care about the money. 345 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: It's almost a ritual. You go through or you're sue 346 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: and you get something for it. But really, really, what 347 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: they have to do is explain why the police chief 348 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: didn't have his men storm the place, and why the 349 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: men themselves didn't do it on their own, which is 350 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: what they're trained to do, and they all went through 351 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: the training. There's no excuses for these people. I hear 352 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: so many people trying, well, maybe they weren't trained right, 353 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: Maybe they no they were trained, they did know. They 354 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: chose not to out of cowardice or stupidity, I don't 355 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: know what. But it was their choice to let those 356 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: kids die. And of course they don't want to talk 357 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: about it. How do you how do you talk that? 358 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: I don't think their brains will accept that they're responsible 359 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: for some of these kids bleeding out to death and 360 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: in a story that you know, it could be connected 361 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: to this in a certain way. They have closed Modern 362 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: Day High School in Santa Anna for the rest of 363 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: the week because of a credible threat to the campus. 364 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: A letter was sent out to parents and students today 365 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: that the school will be closed all week. That's part 366 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, by the way, 367 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: modern day, and that's where they had that hazing problem 368 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: that one of the athletes getting hurt. That's connected to 369 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: this or now we turned to of course there had 370 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: to be this story. They have found a gas station 371 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: there downtown La eight dollars a gallon for regular gas. 372 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: How about that? The average gas price in La County 373 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: is at six dollars, at about eighteen seventeen cents, which 374 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: is of course a record high. I saw there are 375 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: some stations that are jumping ahead to eight dollars. Studio City. 376 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: I saw today regulars seven h nine at a seven 377 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: coming so at a mobile station. I'm just an ordinary 378 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: mobile station and not in some fancy area of the city. Now, well, 379 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: we now turned to the experts gas. Of course, it 380 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: is just all good problem with inflation. That'll answer all questions. 381 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: The experts the experts, and one of the experts is 382 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: supposedly the Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen. She used to be 383 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: the head of the Fed, wasn't she the Federal Reserve 384 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: before she got this post in the Biden administration. Yeah, 385 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: she's one of these people that went around a year 386 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: ago downplaying inflation. She was asked today by Wolf Blitzer 387 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: on CNN was that a mistake to say that a 388 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: year ago? Here is part of the audio. Is it 389 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: a mistake that I'm secretary to downplay this inflation risk? 390 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: Did that contribute to the problems we're all seeing right now? Well, look, 391 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: I think I was rolling then about the path that 392 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: inflation would take. As I mentioned, there have been unanticipated 393 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy 394 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our 395 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: economy badly that I didn't at the time, didn't fully understand. 396 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: But we recognize that now the Federal Reserve is taking 397 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: the steps that it needs to take. It's up to 398 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: them to decide what to do. And for our part, 399 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: President Biden is focused on supplementing what the Fed does 400 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: with actions we can take. Do you know she is 401 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: about as useful to go to as an expert as 402 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: some lady running a gardening shop in Pasadena. Well, a 403 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: year ago, in March twenty twenty one, she said, is 404 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: there a risk of inflation? Oh, I think it's small, 405 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: and I think it's manageable. Do you get a sustained 406 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: high inflation like we had in the seventies. I absolutely 407 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: we don't expect that. She doesn't know what she's talking about. 408 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: Most experts don't. Then she said in October, well, yeah, 409 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: some inflation will persist just until around the second half 410 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two. Just talking out of her rear 411 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: ends well, because they have a job, and they have 412 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: status that pays really well, and they're living in a 413 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: nice neighborhood, and they go to nice cocktail parties, and 414 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: they have access, you know, to meet famous, rich, influential people. 415 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: Everything about their life is really cool as long as 416 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: they keep their status as an expert. Now, do they 417 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: actually know anything useful? Clearly they don't. You could have 418 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: gotten a random answer like that from any one of 419 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: ten million people in the country who maybe read, you know, 420 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: newspapers right the regularly, right read the Wall Street Journal 421 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: in the the New York Times. You can get enough knowledge 422 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: in your head to give out some kind of generic 423 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: answer like that. But do they actually know anything? No, 424 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: they don't. And that's why I don't listen to experts. 425 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: I'd laugh when I hear, well, the experts are saying, well, 426 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: we're going to interview an expert. Now, no, they're not 427 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: experts when it comes to predicting, when it comes to 428 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: collecting past knowledge and telling telling me the past knowledge 429 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: you've collected by studying in college for all those years. 430 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: You know, a surgeon, right, if he studied surgery and 431 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: he's operated on you know, five hundred brains, I'll listen 432 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: to his analysis of a brain issue. But somebody predicting 433 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: the future. No, Well, especially when it comes to Wall 434 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: Street and the economy. Yeah, there's nobody. Factors go into 435 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: whatever chaos comes out of those things a weekly, monthly basis. 436 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: It's all random, it's all input, it's factors in the 437 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: millions and trillions of people's decisions and lives. And what's amazing, 438 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: it's hard to say what's going to happen. This wasn't 439 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: a shock that happened just for a week or a month. 440 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: This was something that happened over two years. And it's 441 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: clear that all these experts for over two years never 442 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: sat down and thought, Okay, how hard is it going 443 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: to be to restart the economy worldwide after two years 444 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: of a lockdown. In fact, they should have had that 445 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: conversation before everything was locked down. If we shut down 446 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: production around the world, what's going to happen? Can you 447 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: restart it up quickly? If people don't spend much money 448 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: for two years and then you give them a lot 449 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: of free, fake money, what are they going to do 450 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: at the end of the two years. Oh, look at that. 451 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: They end up buying lots of stuff all at once, 452 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 1: So there were a lot of orders. It took a 453 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: while to start up the factories. So you have this 454 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: immense supply chain problem because so many people are ordering 455 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: goods and it takes so long to get the factories 456 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: rolling again. They didn't think this through before they issued 457 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: the lockdowns. They didn't think about it while things were 458 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: locked down off and on over two years, they were 459 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: saving lives. Now you stop it, and they didn't save 460 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: any lives. That's what's funny. They didn't. The places that 461 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: were locked down and the places that weren't locked down 462 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: had roughly the same damage in the end. So they 463 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: were wrong. All the experts were wrong about predicting the 464 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 1: course of the pandemic too, and the vaccine. As it 465 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: turns out, all right, when we come back, we got 466 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: better predictors as to whether or not the recession is coming. 467 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: We'll tell you what they are, John and can caffine. Yeah, 468 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: more and more, even the wealthy can go down. TMZ 469 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: is reporting that outside the home of actor Owen Wilson 470 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: was a Tesla that was parked there. Somebody stole the 471 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: rims and the tires, valued at four thousand dollars from 472 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, don't leave your tesla parked on the street, 473 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: particularly on the West Side where there's a lot of 474 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: roaming criminals. We were talking about the attempts to predict inflation. 475 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: How wrong The trophury Secretary Janet Yelling was a year 476 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: ago saying, Oh, this is manageable and it's short term 477 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: and we're really not going to get too worried about it. 478 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: Now a year later, it's burying Biden on the Democrat Party. 479 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: You know what. And they never questioned whether they were wrong. 480 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: It's one thing to have an opinion. I don't think 481 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: it's going to be problem. But did they ever sit 482 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: and say, all right, what if we're wrong, what if 483 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: we're wrong, what should we look for? What should we do? 484 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: Let's let's build some kind of let's have a plan. 485 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: Let's have a plan here and if we see the 486 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: slightest little wiggle in the numbers, but they just went 487 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: lithely along month after month for a whole year. Dude, dude. 488 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: Now they're counting on the Fed. They think that the 489 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: Fed with the interest rates is going to be able 490 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: to jigger some kind of control over this. But well, 491 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: theoretically yes, but it's going to take a while and 492 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: cause a lot of damage. Now, what are the real 493 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: good prediction predictors of a recession. Well, there's a couple 494 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: that come from the everyday world. Well maybe not your 495 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: every day but there are people that participate in this. 496 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: There are two that to give us conflicting opinions about 497 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: a looming recession. The first is the reports are coming 498 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: in from all of the country that the strip clubs 499 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: are empty. And apparently this has been used as a 500 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: barometer before, sort of a rough economic forecaster, that when 501 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: the men stopped going to the strip clubs, it's a 502 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: sign that they're tightening. It's the first thing that gets 503 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: got in the budget. They're they're tightening up right. A 504 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: woman who goes by the name I'll look at that 505 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: cell bimbo, about a Celli bimbo, About a Chelli bimbo, 506 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: what's bought a CELLI I don't know. The strip club 507 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: is sadly a leading indicator, and I can promise y'all 508 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: we are in a recession, me getting stock alerts just 509 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: to decide whether or not it's worth to go to work. 510 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: I guess you, stripper, the stock market goes way down, then, 511 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: you know, because people aren't gonna feel like spending frivolous money. Yes, 512 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: part of it is the mood too, not just not 513 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: having the cash available. But it's like, wait a second, 514 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: if we're in a crash here. I know. Another rough 515 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: indicator comes from people in the package delivery business who 516 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: say they're seeing a dip, which obviously would lead you 517 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: to believe people are cutting back on online spending them. 518 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: That's right, Amazon. If there has to be a point 519 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 1: where these inflation numbers like you mentioned your little thing 520 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: of cheese, well they start to they start to go up, 521 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,239 Speaker 1: you just have to start cutting back somewhere you go 522 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: on forever. You do it, even if you have money, right, 523 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: and depending on how you were raised right like I 524 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: grew up in a blue collar world. I've got all 525 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: that stuff hardwired into me. Right, I go now for 526 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: the five ninety five gas. I don't have to, but 527 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: he do it because it's just the way I am. Now. Now, 528 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: like the steak, I like to get a certain kind 529 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: of steak to make it home. But now instead of 530 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: getting three quarters of a pound, I get a half 531 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: a pound for two meals, right, and it saves it 532 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: saves a few bucks. I did do arteries too. Now 533 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: now that you're cheese, now I'm looking. It's like, huh, 534 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: the cheese went up and just four twenty nine to 535 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: five seventy nine, and I had the two tubs of cheese. 536 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: I was holding one of my left hand one of 537 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: my right hand, and I'm looking, I'm looking. Am I 538 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: imagining this? Because I knew I do most of the 539 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: grocery shopping in the house, so I knew I bought 540 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: the four twenty nine cheese just a few weeks ago, 541 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: no more than three weeks. And so now I'm going 542 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: to go look see if there's other kinds of cheese. 543 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: At the other end of this, another indicator says we're 544 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: not in any big trouble because pet parents are spending 545 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: as much as ever. Petco had a great quarter. They 546 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: don't think inflation is affecting the fact that as you know, 547 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: there's more and more people who are opting or for 548 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: other reasons, not to have children. Instead, they're picking up pets, 549 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: they're turning them into children. They're buying all sorts of 550 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: things for them. And according to this indicator, the CEO 551 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: of Petco said, when not seeing any declines, in fact, 552 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: we're seeing people buying even more luxurious items for their 553 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: dogs and cats and other pets. I could see that. 554 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: I could see that being an exception because people are 555 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: so emotionally unhinged about their animals. That might be the 556 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: stripper might be the first thing you cut, but your 557 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: your your dog food is the last thing to cut, 558 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: especially during the pandemic when people are locked down and 559 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: like the animals all they had, if they're single and 560 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: they live alone. Well, this is a great honor here 561 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: because not only thank you, but but a guy I 562 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: had left for dead. I thought he was never gonna 563 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: be seen again. Mark Thompson's bay.
