However, they need 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: a cushion, so they're still out there working really hard 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: recall DA George Gascon dot com. Next hour, we'll talk 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: again to the La County Sheriff, Alex Vieneueva. It was 26 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: not his police department the lost two officers, but two 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: El Monty police officers were shot to death by another 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: one of these people that benefits from quote criminal justice reform, 29 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: the type pushed by George Gascon. We'll talk to the 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: sheriff about it in one hour. All right. We now 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: talk about Joe Biden. He's threatening the oil companies. He's 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: going to use emergency powers if they don't start increasing 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: the output of gas at their refineries. He's blaming them 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: for excessive profits and they're behind the huge gas price 35 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: increases of the last year and a half, and that 36 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: he's going to force them to produce more gas. And 37 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: I saw this this morning, It's like, well, how can 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: he do that? I mean, is this just you know, 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: gas and rhetoric, or is there a mechanism that works 40 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: in the real world where we're going to talk now 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: with Kara Green from the Western States Petroleum Association, that's 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: the oil industry representative. We're going to get her on 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: the line now, Hey, Kara, how are you? Hey? Guys good? 44 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: First is can Joe Biden do what he's threatening in 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: this letter? Can he force the energy companies to produce 46 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: more gas against their will or against their capabilities? Yeah? 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: That letter is a shock. That's absolutely wild, especially when 48 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: oil industry leaders have been working with the administration, you know, 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: through COVID during Russia's attack on Ukraine, and now we 50 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: have the White House saying, hey, make more gasoline. But 51 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: over here in California we have Governor Newsom doing everything 52 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: he can to stop production in California. Yeah, there's that too. 53 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: It's hard to tell companies that you've got to produce 54 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: more when certain states like California is saying no way, 55 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: we're not going to let you. And I know this 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: gets incredibly complicated, but I think the first question is 57 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: does he have the constitutional, legal power to force an 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: oil company to produce more gasoline. Well, my expertise is energy. 59 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but hey, let's get the 60 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: White House on the film right now. I'd love to 61 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: talk to him and find out what's going on in 62 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: his brain right now. So would this have something to 63 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: do with the Defense Production Act the way you know 64 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: they issued that dealing with the COVID emergency or could 65 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: he do that with gas I don't know. So that's 66 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: definitely related to crude oil storage. But what we're talking 67 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: about is the capacity to refine. You know, for many 68 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: of your viewers look at those refineries and solve a 69 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: lit La County tech nationwide, you know, oil companies are 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: saying that they're already running at capacity. They are producing 71 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: at pre COVID hives. So you know, this isn't another 72 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: example of politician pointing fingers all they want, but in reality, 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: it's their policies that are hurting real people. So there's 74 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: no more refinery capacity that the oil companies have. So 75 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: oil companies are a business, you know, once the crude 76 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: oil or by the way, in California, we have renewable fuels, 77 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: we have hydrogen, we have natural gas when those things 78 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: get to the refinery, which by the way, is programmed 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: out months ahead of time. They are all slated to 80 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: refine certain types of fuels in certain amounts depending on 81 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: the type of year at the type of heathen and 82 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: then also depending on for praying demand. And these seems 83 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: again are forecasted out months in advance. Right. But I mean, 84 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: if he's claiming that you or he must be claiming 85 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: that you have refinery capacity that you're not using, that 86 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: you have a supply of oil and gas that could 87 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: be processed and sent to the public, and that that 88 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: extra supply here in California, we have drilling for oil 89 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: permits sitting on the state's desk which is waiting to 90 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: be signed. They've been waiting to be signed for years now. 91 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: We would love to produce more of clean, efficient California 92 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: oil that's made in state that doesn't come over via 93 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: a tanker and take months to get here. So there's 94 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: no possible way for the oil and gas industry in 95 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: California to produce any more fuel here, to refine more 96 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: fuel to more. But it's it's all programmed out depending 97 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: on you know, there's multiple, multiple different companies. You've got 98 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: five refineries in the Bay Area that you've got about 99 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: eight in southern California, and they're all buying to buy 100 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: crude oil or hydrogen or natural gas or renewable fuels, 101 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: bio diesel, and then that is programmed to then be 102 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: shipped to their refinery to produce. So we're talking about 103 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: months out planning. Is it true that it's very difficult 104 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 1: to get energy sent from the southeast, for example, because 105 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: we don't have the pipeline capabilities. It's just California is 106 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: called an energy island. So we hear in national news 107 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: a lot about pipelines from Canada or here and there. 108 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: Here in California, we don't have pipelines bringing in crude oil. 109 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: The California's Central Valley is a natural and abundant place. 110 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: That's where ninety percent of our oil comes from underneath 111 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: the ground. We pump that up under the ground, and 112 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: then it is shipped to a refinery, sometimes by an 113 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: internal a little smaller pipeline, a truck, a railcar. It 114 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: comes to a refinery and it's processed into the fuel 115 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: that we put in our vehicles, into gasoline and diesel, 116 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: and you know propane, that's what we use in our 117 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: grills or what we take camping with us. But how 118 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: come we don't have pipelines coming from the east coast 119 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: or the southeast the rest of the country wherever they're 120 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: producing oil. How come none of that oil ever goes 121 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: through a pipeline overland underground? However they do it and 122 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: gets here. That's a great question. It would be incredibly 123 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: far to traverse. Also, oil in different parts of the country. 124 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: It's made differently. Some is really thick like peanut butter, 125 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: some is you know, more water like, and then the 126 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: viscosity ranges in between. And so geography set up their 127 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: refineries to produce oil that's consistent with to produce fuel 128 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: that's consistent with the type of oil that comes out 129 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: of the ground. So if you're looking at a particular refinery, 130 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: they can process particular types of crude oil. Also, look 131 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: at the geographical features we have. You know, to come 132 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: into the California's Bay area, we'd have to traverse, you know, 133 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: over Tahoe. You know, that's there's some incredible natural geographic 134 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: boundaries that keep us from having pipelines. Just setting aside, 135 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, the political conversation about pipelines, So we were 136 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: taking some oil from Russia coming in across the ocean 137 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: on a tanker, is it right? Incredibly small amounts, especially 138 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: in California. We're talking in the you know, less than 139 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: five percent was coming into calca. Where do we get 140 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: most of our oil? Well, if we if we don't 141 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: produce it, if we don't produce enough, we an't get 142 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: much from Russia. We don't have pipelines from other areas 143 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: of the country. Where where is it coming from? Thirty 144 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: percent is made here in state. But you know thirty 145 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: years ago when I was toddling around the state that 146 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: that number was switched, it was more like seventy percent. 147 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: So we have a high capacity to be creating oil 148 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: and then it does get shipped in. It depends on 149 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: where we can get it. You know, South America, some 150 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: of it from them, the least from the Middle East 151 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: provide some of our oils. So so we ship oil 152 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: from the Middle East. When we have this huge pool 153 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: of oil under Bakersfield, we do, we do. It's incredibly 154 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: difficult to get more permits to drill here. M baker 155 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: fill the central coast parts of LA. It's just it's 156 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: naturally abundant. It's coming up out of the ground. You know, 157 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: whether we're drilling forward or not. This is all crazy. 158 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: It's just all nuts. So we have a lot of it, 159 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: and think about Think about this. The men and women 160 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: who drill that out of the ground, who ship it 161 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: to the refineries and then are overseeing that, you know, 162 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: the safest in the world refinement of our fuel. Those 163 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: are Californians. Those are the people who are coaching our 164 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: kids soccer teams. You know, those are our neighbors. So 165 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: we're employing Californians when we use California oil. All right, well, 166 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: thank you very much. Carra Green from the Western States 167 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: Patroleum Association. Thanks, have a great day. Right, we'll talk 168 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: more about this in particular, what goes into the pricing 169 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: of a gallon of gas. How much of it is 170 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: the actual crude oil stuff that you hear the price 171 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: of a barrel goes for That has changed in the 172 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: last year significantly, which is one of the reasons we're 173 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: really stuck with these high gas prices. And we talk 174 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: about this last week. The country actually exports about of 175 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: the barrels of oil that it produces. We export it 176 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: to other countries because I guess they get a better deal. 177 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and more coming up. John and 178 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: Kent kfi Hey, we'll be bringing back the Moist line 179 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: in two days in the five o'clock hour or so. 180 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: A quick reminder to leave your messages. You can use 181 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Little microphone is how you talk back 182 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: to the show, or you can dial up the number 183 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: one eight seven seven Moist eighty six one eight seven 184 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: seven six four seven eight eighty six. It is a 185 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: conversation has gone on for months. It is bothering all 186 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: of America now, and that's high gas prices. In fact, 187 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: this is what we'll throw the Democrats out of Congress 188 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: if this keeps up. Not inflation is bad, but people 189 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: really get worked up over gas prices. In the country 190 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: outside of California are seeing five dollars a gallon and 191 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: they're staring and they're angry. For us, that would be 192 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: a nice relief if we can get back to five 193 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon as we approach seven. One of the 194 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: reasons that gas prices are high and are going to 195 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: stay high is because of the crude oil prices. They 196 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: now account for sixty percent of the price of a 197 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. This is data from the 198 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: Federal Energy Information Administration, and just a year ago, crude 199 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: oil prices only accounted for fifty two percent of the 200 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: cost of a gallon of gas, and during the COVID 201 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: lockdowns two years ago, only twenty five percent of the 202 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: cost because the price of a barrel of crude really 203 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: dropped during the pandemic. So this is being pushed by 204 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: this horrible market for the price of a barrel of 205 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: crude oil. Refining costs are about another seventeen percent of 206 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: the price you pay per gallon. Again, this is more nationwide. 207 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: Twelve percent of the cost went toward taxes, eleven percent 208 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: toward distribution and marketing. But if we don't see a 209 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: break in the price of a barrel of crude oil, 210 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: if that continues to rise, and I'm looking at the 211 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: chart here and you can see how much it dipped 212 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty. In twenty nineteen, it was somewhere 213 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: between and a dollar. Oh, this is the cost for 214 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: a gallon of regular gas. Look at at back in 215 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, the costs for a gallon of regular gasoline, 216 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: the US average was only like a all or something. 217 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: That's hard to believe. It was in the Upper Ones. 218 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: I remember, because we were always constantly carrying on about 219 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: the high gas prices here compared to the rest of 220 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: the country. And I remember looking and seeing that the 221 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: cheaper states, mostly in the southeast, were in the dollar 222 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: eighty dollars ninety region, right, And I mean, I clearly 223 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: remember that. And the gas went up about fifty percent 224 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: from the day Biden took over until the start of 225 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian War, and then since then it's gone up 226 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: another fifty percent. So one of the things that Biden 227 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: was bloviating about yesterday, he blamed the entire gas increase 228 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: on Putin, and that's a flat outlie. Half the gas 229 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: increase happened before Putin, and it's it started because he 230 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: announced a lot of policies to constrict the oil production. Yeah, well, 231 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: I remember it distinctly. The debate he with Trump. He 232 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: was clear about this, We're going to move away from 233 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: fossil fuel production, and I'm going to make sure that 234 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: when I'm president, people didn't vote on that issue. They 235 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: did not now they would if he ran against Trump today, 236 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: and Trump would say he'd open up the pipelines all 237 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: over the place. That would help him win. People are 238 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: driven by what I call momentum in place. Oh yeah, 239 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: Polster calls, yeah, we need to move away towards alternative 240 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: energy like electric cars. But they don't do that in practicality. 241 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: They just continue to do what they've always done and 242 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: drive their gas. Well, this is what it really you 243 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: remember in the price of a gallon of gas went 244 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: way down a few years ago, and suddenly suv sales 245 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: took off. Yeah, they dust and truck sales and all 246 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: that stuff. People went nuts to buy that stuff. That's 247 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: what they wait for. Now. Maybe those sales aren't doing 248 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: so well right now, but people are still driving what 249 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: they're driving. People on average keep their cars six years, 250 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: and on average a car on the road is eleven 251 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: years old. You know, may have been sold to somebody 252 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: else along the way, but people keep cars a long time. 253 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: It takes eleven years to turn over the fleet. And 254 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: now who's going to get you know. Plus, you can't 255 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: buy a car right now easily. The supply is really short. 256 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: Here's a couple of other statistics. Although the US is 257 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: the largest producer of oil, it's also the second largest 258 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: oil importer in the world. Like I said, forty of 259 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: the oil we produce here is sent to other countries. 260 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: US refining capacity peaked at nearly nineteen million barrels per 261 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: day back in April of twenty twenty, but then with 262 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 1: COVID and the lockdowns, they cut staff, they shut refineries. 263 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Today they're about ninety four percent of capacity. Output in 264 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: March was about seventeen point nine barrel million barrels per 265 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: day short of the prefent level. They could do a 266 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: little more, but that depends on whether the fineries or operational, 267 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: or they're down for maintenance or there was a fire. Yeah, 268 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's tough to account for the 269 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: whole hundred percent, right, But that's why Biden demanding that 270 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: there be more oil refined into gasoline. It's like, yeah, great, 271 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: how are you going to do that? How are you 272 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: going to force them? There's got to be capabilities to 273 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: do it. And again, the oil company has lost billions 274 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: of dollars during the lockdown, and yeah, they want to 275 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: make that money back. So they are right now. All right, 276 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: when we come back, we had mentioned this last hour. 277 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: We didn't get a chance to get to it. The 278 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: San Diego mayor. We don't know a lot about except 279 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: I do believe he comes from the line of progressive Democrats. 280 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: Todd Gloria has opened up a campaign of progressive enforcement. 281 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: He calls it against homeless people for not accepting shelter. Well, 282 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: bring you the update and what's going on and what 283 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: the homeless are doing next, John and Kenshell Cafine. We'll 284 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: be talking to the La County Sheriff Alex being a 285 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: wave coming up after five o'clock. Tough circumstances. It's about 286 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: the the two police officers in El Monte. They have 287 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: been identified as Joseph Santana, an officer and a corporal 288 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: by the name of Michael Parades, who one had many 289 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: years on the forces, over twenty and the other just 290 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: in the last year or so. They were shot to 291 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: death by a Justin William Floris, a thirty five year 292 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: old who was at the motel apparently with his wife 293 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: who he separated from, and there was a call about 294 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: a possible stabbing, so the officers responded. This guy just 295 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: opened fire on them and killed them both, and then 296 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: other cops eventually killed Flores. We'll talk to the sheriff 297 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: about all this coming up in the five o'clock hour. 298 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: You know, the difficult thing when you're trying to ferret 299 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: through stories about the homeless and what's being done to 300 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: get them off the streets, certainly off of public property 301 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: where they block public access, is that the media that 302 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: generally covers these stories is completely biased. We're going to 303 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: San Diego now, where I was a bit surprised because 304 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: the mayor there is not I believe he's a progressive, 305 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: enlightened Democrat by the name of Todd Gloria. In fact, 306 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: all right, he is. He introduced something called progressive Enforcement. 307 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: It penalizes homeless people for not accepting shelter, which is 308 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: kind of the way we thought this was going to 309 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: go a few years ago when Newsom had that task force, 310 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: and one of the ideas that came up with is 311 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: if we find you shelter and offer you shelter and 312 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: you do not go, we will remove you from the 313 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: public place you're camping in. Apparently, in San Diego, in 314 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: certain sections of downtown, they've really been big encampments blocking sidewalks. 315 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: They're in places that are really making it difficult for 316 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: people to get around down there. So even this mayor 317 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: had enough, and he had a press conference on Monday, 318 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: and he says that we're going to get people off 319 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: the street into the shelter system. Basically, what they do 320 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: is they come to you the first time and tell 321 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: you we have shelter, it's time to go. But if 322 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: they come back the second or third time, they start 323 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: handing out citations. And I guess in some cases, because 324 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a guy getting cuffed, they'll take you away. Yeah, 325 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: there's four rounds. First times a warning, second and third 326 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: time citation. Fourth, they're going to arrest you and take 327 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: you away. And according to the San Diego Union Tribune, 328 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: the number of sidewalk encampments in downtown San Diego's East 329 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: Village has noticeably decreased. Some have been or whoever everyone's 330 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: referring to it as whack them all. They're just moving 331 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: to other places and camping again. Most of them will 332 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: not go to a shelter. They will not go. But 333 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: that's the thing, what is your definition of success? The 334 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: definition of success to me is if I'm living in 335 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: a neighborhood, they're not there anymore. Now. They may still 336 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: be homeless, they might still be suffering, but if they're 337 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: refusing all the help, then I don't think there's anything 338 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: more that I or the neighbors can do about it. 339 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: We've offered them help, we paid for it, so there's 340 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: nothing else further. We've got a kind We have to 341 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: come to an end of this circular conversation. We paid 342 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: for help, we offered the help, We created the shelters 343 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: and the treatment centers. Now you have to go, and 344 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: if you won't go, yeah, you get evicted. If you 345 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: don't leave, you get arrested and taken out by force. 346 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: There is no other path. People could talk until they 347 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: fall over dead. There is no other way. What we're 348 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: seeing in these stories is people don't want to go 349 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: to the shelter as they claim it's not safe there, 350 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: it's dirty there. They'd rather take their chances on the street, 351 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: so they've just moved to a different place. The ones 352 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: that are getting arrested apparently already had outstanding warrants. No 353 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: big surprise there, right, Because there's a lot of criminals 354 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: that have been dumped out of the prisons in jails, 355 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of criminals walk around with warrants because 356 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: they've ever showed up to address earlier arrests. That's normal. 357 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: These are a lot of these people are not good people. See, 358 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: there's so much propaganda, there's really so much brainwashing bullcrap 359 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: from homeless advocates in the media. A lot of these 360 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: people are not good. They're bad. They're criminals, you know, 361 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're sex beings and child molesters. They're 362 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 1: thieves and burglars. Some of them are violent. They've had 363 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: very dysfunctional lives. Yeah, I know, and it's not my problem. 364 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm giving some money in with part of the taxes, right, 365 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm giving you some money. There's there's an office down 366 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: there to help treat you. There's a shelter there to 367 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: get a dry bed. That's the best I can do. 368 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: And you're not going to live in front of my house. 369 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know what else to say at this point. 370 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: But we've tried the other experiment, whatever they were trying 371 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: to do the last five years, huge disaster like none 372 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: of us have ever seen in our lives. I think 373 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: that ends the debate. You had it your way, massive failure. 374 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: Now we're going to go back to our way. So 375 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: their frustration, I said, is because a couple of articles 376 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 1: are looking at one is from Public KPPS will shelters 377 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: are ninety three percent full. There's really no room for 378 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: all the people they want to send there. The other 379 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: story in the San Diego Union Tribute focuses on they're 380 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: throwing out the homelessness, possessions that isn't right and all 381 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: this stuff they're picking because it's blocking the sidewalk. It's 382 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: making a massive disgusting Yeah, well, it's too bad if 383 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: we're throwing out their possessions. Honest, your possessions do not 384 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: belong on a public sidewalk, I mean, and that what 385 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: they've got here is bicycles missing wheels. We've accepted this 386 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: behavior for so long thanks to these politicians that are 387 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: in charge, that now it's considered an outrage if you're 388 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: removed debris from a public sidewalk, not by the normal people, 389 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: not by the majorities. Now they've got to start voting, 390 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: they do. They've got to start doing something. They have 391 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: to start voting, and what they have to do is 392 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: shake away all the stupid guilt that's been laid on 393 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: them by all the people who've got a public megaphone. 394 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: It's a lot of horsecrap, it is. The story here 395 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: says that the city of San Diego got t hundred 396 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: complaints last week about homeless encampments through the cities. Get 397 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: it done app right. That shows you people are fed up. 398 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: That's right. And as far as homeless activists, it's the 399 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: same ten people that show up every time. So I'll 400 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: go with the complaint crowd I think is exponentially larger 401 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: than the advocacy crowd. It's just the advocacy crowd has 402 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: some nonprofit. They get donations and they're able to pay 403 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: themselves enough money, devote themselves one hundred percent because they're 404 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: paid for this. This is their job. Their job is 405 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: to go out and create a big rucas every time 406 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: the police try to enforce homeless laws. That's what they 407 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: do for a living. They're financed by wealthy people who've 408 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: taken this on as a cause. And the media responds 409 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: to the paid advocates who make a public rucas, and 410 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: they ignore the quiet normal people who are simply calling 411 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: the emergency line to report the homeless encampment. See, those 412 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: people don't make TV because those people are making dinner 413 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: for their kids. And there's just this huge power imbalance 414 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to getting attention and getting getting media coverage. 415 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm all about enforcement. You're gonna have to harass these 416 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: people into making better life choices, and you're gonna have 417 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: to keep doing it. If it's whack them all, then 418 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: keep whacking them right, keep moving them on until they 419 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: get tired. We talked about this in La Culver City 420 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: had this approach. They're right on the border with the 421 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: city of La and don't be Mike Bonnon's district. And 422 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: they didn't put up with this. They just said they 423 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: just kept coming every day and bothering these vagrants until 424 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: finally the vagrants just packed up and moved across the 425 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: street to the city of La where Mike Bonnen's LAPD 426 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: enforcement is zero. But Beverly Hills does this most of 427 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: the most of the independent cities that border Los Angeles 428 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: are encircled by Los Angeles. That's what they do, and 429 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: they keep all this nonsense out of their town. For 430 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: the most part, it just doesn't take root. They see it, 431 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: they get rid of it. So I will see how 432 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: this goes. This is what San Diego's doing, certainly better 433 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: than anything we're seeing here in the City of Los Angeles, 434 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: because again, all the advocates ever say is you can't 435 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: arrest you way out of homelessness. It never worked. I 436 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: don't know what that means. They cited all these dopey studies. 437 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: I don't care about their stage. That doesn't what they 438 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: say doesn't mean anything. They have a lot of empty 439 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: catchphrases they use in slogans. If a guy's arrested and 440 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: taking off the street, he's now off the street. And 441 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: if the police stayed patrolling that street, he won't be 442 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: allowed back on. So I don't know what their phrases mean. Yes, 443 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: you can, you arrest them and make a move, make 444 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: them go somewhere else. Period. All Right, we got more 445 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: coming out, John and Kenkfi sheriff and auavon just after 446 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: five o'clock to talk about the two Almonte police officers 447 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: who were killed yesterday by another George Gascone creation. Well, 448 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: here's an update now. Those two officers names were Corporal 449 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: Michael Parides and Officer Joseph Santana. Bill Malusion has sent 450 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: out another tweet, Bill of Course, a reporter for Fox 451 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: LA Fox News, the two fallen officers have now been identified. 452 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: Sources in the LA DA's office tell me if this 453 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: case had been prosecuted without Gascon's policies. In February of 454 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, Floris would have likely been behind bars 455 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: on a two and a half to three year minimum sentence. Instead, 456 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: he was out on probation last night when he killed 457 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: the officers. That's what we're talking about. He was caught 458 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: as a felon in possession of a gun and he 459 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: should have gotten two and a half to three years. 460 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: There was also two other felony charges that were dropped. 461 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: It was a plea deal. This is under Gascon's new policy. 462 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: So this guy was on the loose last night, got 463 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: into some kind of incident at the motel, and when 464 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: the two cops showed up, Parides and Santana, he shot 465 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: them both to death. This is directly connected to George Gascone. 466 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,959 Speaker 1: George Gascone, Otherwise this guy would have been in prison. 467 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: And you can't say it any clear. George Gascone is 468 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: responsible for these two officers deaths. What are you gonna 469 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: do about it? Here? The dots connect right into his 470 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: big fat head. Ascone is responsible. If you haven't heard, 471 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: they've collected enough signatures, but they need a cushion to 472 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: get this on the ballot for the recall. So if 473 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: you're an LA County registered voter. Even more incentive today 474 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: to go to recall da George Gascon dot com. It 475 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: will talks just sickening. I mean, I mean this, this 476 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: really really should drive him out of office. He should 477 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: resign over this. Why don't we just end this nonsense 478 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: and Gascone resign now that his policies are killing police 479 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: officers brutally, officers with with with families. Isn't this should 480 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: be the end of gascons career. But I felt it 481 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: should have been end of his career first month he 482 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: took office when he put out these directives. You gotta 483 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: be kidding me, right, I knew it would lead to 484 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: this mode. Of course it would, and it had to. 485 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: This had to be the road that it went down, 486 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: all right. One of the topics we used to bring 487 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: up on the show a lot more in the Do 488 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: you remember medical procedures gone awry? Oh yeah, I've often 489 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: those cases were like they amputate the wrong leg or something, 490 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they removed the wrong Oregon. This one, though, 491 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: is a brand new type of medical procedure gone awry, 492 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: and it's a weird one. A four year old boy 493 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: went to a hospital in Houston, Texas to have a hernia, 494 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: and he ended up with a partial vasectomy. Um, I 495 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: don't know how you what is a partial vasectomy? Well, 496 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: they accidentally cut the vast deference tubes that carries reproductive semen. 497 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: So I guess they didn't cut all of the vast 498 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: deference Yeah, says one of the tubes does that. Well, 499 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: so that means he's going to add half as much 500 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: sperm out there. I don't know they can reverse it 501 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: with another surgery to reconnect the two he's held. Is 502 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 1: he four? That's really young for him to make a 503 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: decision because I don't think he's producing much semen yet, right, 504 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, if if you're all too 505 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: young for him to do, well, he can't. He can't 506 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: make the decision himself. You know, he's not old enough. 507 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't understand the implications here. But boy, uh you 508 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: get of his actomy when when you're a teenager you 509 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: realize you don't have to worry about getting anybody pregnant. True, 510 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: but what if you want to have a child When 511 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: you're a teenager, you're not thinking that way. You're just 512 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: thinking because the real truba. But when you're thirty you may. 513 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean you can have it reconnected. No, I understand. 514 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm talking from the from the perspective of let's say 515 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: you're you're seventeen. Yeah, you can't get anybody pregnant. So 516 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: this was a woman by the name of doctor Susan 517 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: Duras who cut the wrong piece of anatomy. I guess 518 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: it was leap raw proscopic surgery for the hernia. And 519 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: uh it says that, well, I I'm not going to 520 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: pretend I know the anatomy, but um, well, the hernia 521 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: isn't in an abdominal wall. This woman has no history 522 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,239 Speaker 1: of medical malpractice or complaints about her work. She's an 523 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: assistant professor of pediatric urology at Baylor College of Medicine. 524 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: But um, this is an odd one. Was she did 525 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: she sneeze? Uh? No, she just failed to accurately identify 526 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: the anatomy that needs to be cut. Because because I 527 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: guess in a hernia what happens there your stomach collapses 528 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: or your your abdominal wall has a has a collapse, 529 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: and so your guts gets come spilling out through the wall. 530 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: Because it's it's like a muscle problem. It's like the 531 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: muscle of your abdominal wallpops out. But I'm trying to 532 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: figure out the how she cut the vast devon's because 533 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: that that carries the semen, which is that coming out 534 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: of your testicles and up through Yes, well how did she? 535 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: How did she get there? If she if she's working 536 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: on the an abdominal hernia, undo, seman carries the sperm 537 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: which impregnates, right, So I don't know what. Yeah, maybe 538 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: the sperm come from the testicles. Yeah, the sperm does 539 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: come from the testicles. Where does the seman come from? 540 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: Maybe the seman comes from something deep inside and that's 541 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: why she you're digging too deep for me now, does 542 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: not come from the prostate. Um, we're a bunch of 543 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: medical students, aren't we. There's some doctor listening right now, 544 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: banging his steering wheel and banging his head. Listen to 545 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: these three knuckleheads. Well, you would think, though, that a 546 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: professor of eurology would not have cut the She's supposed 547 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: to know right exactly. We're not as bad off as 548 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: she is. That's why there's a lawsuit.
