1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 2: I am six forty.

3
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 3: We're on every day from one until four after four o'clock.

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 3: John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. Let's

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 3: get Tony Strickland on State Senator from Huntington Beach. Newsom

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: released a new version of the budget, and Strickland has

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 3: a lot to say about that. Tony, welcome, How are you?

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm good?

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: What is this new budget about that he's got? Because

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: I'm looking at a headline where Newsom says there's another

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: twelve billion dollars missing, but all the money he's given

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: to illegal alien healthcare is about twelve billion dollars.

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: So I think there's a connection there.

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: You tell me, yeah, No, California doesn't have a revenue problem.

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: It has a wasteful spending problem. The governor just again,

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: you said it before I came on. He wants to

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: blame everybody. Only in politics, can you do a bad

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: job and try to blame everybody else. He blamed the

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: homeless situation on local cities andies. Now he's trying to

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: blame the budget on the federal government. He just needs

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: to look in the mirror and look at the watfil spending.

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: He put another billion dollars into the high speed rail.

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: This is a project that everybody knows is never going

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: to be built as proposed. He's wasting billions of dollars

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: on healthcare for our legals and his new proposed boat budget.

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: He now is spending over five billion to do that.

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: And you know he has this slush fund of fifty

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: million dollars to the Attorney General Bonta to quote unquote

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: trump proof to do furtherous lawsuits that he knows are

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: going to lose in federal court. But the one thing

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: he didn't John fund is Proposition thirty six. This is

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: an initiative that passed seventy percent of the vote in

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: all fifty eight counties across the state of California voted

35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: to sill with this initiative. Public safety should be the

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: number one thing that we should fund. The most central

37
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: role of government is public safety. And he has yet

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: to fund an initiative. I can't think of many initiatives

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: the past. All fifty eight counties, even though those liberal

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: counties San Francisco and Marin voted an affirmative of top

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: thirty six.

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: Right, and as makes theft a crime again, makes drug

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: addiction a crime again in a public.

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: Correct use, and gives people the.

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: Choice of either going to jail or going to get

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: treatment for their drug problems. But you need money to

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: provide the treatment.

48
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: Right exactly, And so he's not funding that. And then

49
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: let's talk about a homeless again.

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: I have a unique.

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Perspective, as you know, John, I served in the legislature

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve. That budget ten years ago, a little

53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: over ten years ago, was ninety eight billion. Now it's

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: over three hundred billion dollars. In fact, we've increased the

55
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: government spending triple in the last ten years, and population

56
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: has gone away from California. We don't have triple the

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: better services. In fact, things are worse than ever before.

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Crime is on the rise, homelessness is everywhere, and we

59
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: have a crumbling infrastructure.

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: Dollars is the money just getting stolen? Because I'm starting

61
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: to think, like you know, between the.

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Non topics, go ahead, go ahead, No, I'm sorry, sir,

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: go ahead no.

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: The nonprofit homeless industry, I think are a bunch of thieves.

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: I think all the people connected high speed rail are

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: a bunch of thieves. You know, the billions were stolen

67
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: for during COVID, for the unemployment funds and now this

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: homeless thing. I mean, Michael Schellenberger said he thinks up

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: to thirty seven billion that Newsom has spent since twenty nineteen.

70
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: It's just got to be politically connected parasites and thieves

71
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: that have taken the money and not produced anything of

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: any good for anyone.

73
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Well, I couldn't agree with you more. And my dad

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: always taught me, if you dig a hole for yourself,

75
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: the best way you got that hole, stop digging. Stop.

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: We've seen billions of dollars and at the same time,

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: John he keeps increasing every single year for the last

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: four years, he's increased the gas tax and the projection

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: now is next year the gas prices could be eight

80
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon. You know, this is a governor when

81
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: Prop thirty six is not funded, when he continues to

82
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, hurt people at the pomp, the people who

83
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: least can afford it, who are living paycheck to paycheck.

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: This fall is just be portioningly on those hardworking California families.

85
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: This legislature and this governor are so out of touch

86
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: with everyday citizens across the state.

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: So we got two listeners, send us photographic proof they're

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: paying two dollars and thirty six cents a gallon for

89
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: gas in Oklahoma two thirty six and here it's an

90
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: average of five bucks headed to eight eight fifty and beyond.

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: Is there anything any of.

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: Us can do to stop this, because this is really psycho.

93
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Stop sending these people who are there who are voting

94
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: for this stuff. And I do believe people are starting

95
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: to wake up here in the state of California, the

96
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: mismanagement of the fires in southern California. I do think

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: people are starting to wake up. With a billion dollars

98
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: are wasteful spending, John, this is the first time in

99
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: California history since the gold Rush, more people are leaving

100
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: California than are coming in since the gold Rush. People

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: are leaving the oasis and the beautiful weather. We have

102
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: go to the middle of the desert in Arizona, to

103
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: go to the humidity in Florida, go to the cold

104
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: weather in Idaho, all because the policies of Gavin Dusom

105
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and the super Majority. I do believe people are waking up.

106
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: When Top thirty six gets seventy percent of the vote

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: and fifty eight counties zone the affirmative. I think people

108
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: are waking up to the mismanagement, and I'm hopeful that

109
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: we turn the state around and make it golden again.

110
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: Did you hear his his rant today at a press conference.

111
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: I did? Is pathetic. I mean, again, here's a guy

112
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: that isn't Governor John. I've started with four other governors

113
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: and this is the most detached governor I've ever seen.

114
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: He doesn't weigh in on any of these issues. He really,

115
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: really really wants to be president of the United States,

116
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: but he's not, and he's worried about running for president

117
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: instead of being governor and doing the job that people

118
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: elected them to do.

119
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: I We're going to play play the whole clip in

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: the next segment because I want to go through the

121
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: whole thing lined by line.

122
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's losing it, He's losing touch.

124
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: He's almost like the Marie Antoinette. Let him eat cake.

125
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: He just doesn't He just doesn't understand what average hard

126
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: working families across the state are living through. You gotta

127
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: again just look at the gas crisis.

128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: How does a how does like a working class family

129
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: deal with eight nine dollars a gallon gas.

130
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: That's not possible.

131
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: You can't do it. How do you how do you?

132
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: How do you vote for these folks who who are

133
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: increasing the gas to this price where they just can't

134
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: afford it, and they they're living paycheck to paycheck. He said,

135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: keep putting these people in office.

136
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: He says in this clip that we're going to play.

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: How do these people keep getting re elected? They're all

138
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: his party. We have one party rule.

139
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: Party. And these mandate, these mandates to eliminate gas power

140
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: cars is ridiculous, These ev mandates that they're pushing down.

141
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Uh not everybody can afford a fifty thousand dollars car.

142
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: One and two. The worst thing you could do in California, John,

143
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: is everybody plug at an electric car. At the same time,

144
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: we don't have enough energy to do that. We have

145
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: really blackouts like we had in the early two thousands.

146
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: We just don't have enough power supply, We don't have

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: enough infrastructure. And they're they're you know, these people who

148
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: are doing this in the legislature, they're driving cars into

149
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: the legislature, but they're trying to outlock cars for everybody else.

150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: It's almost like what we had in terms of the shutdown. Uh,

151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: you know with Gavin Newsom went the French laundry and

152
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: had dinner, but he didn't want anybody else that have

153
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: to go to dinner. His kids got to go in

154
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: person school, but he didn't want anybody else to do so.

155
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: So these these members, these legislators are all driving cars,

156
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: but they want to outlock cars for everybody else.

157
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: Tony Strickland, thank you for coming on, California State Senator

158
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,920

00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: years ago where you have your office.

197
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 2: My office is there now. Back then it didn't exist.

198
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 5: You were and Ken were doing a recall on somebody,

00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: middle of summer whatever.

204
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: It's the only time I was in Apple Valley and

205
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: it seemed like it was about one hundred and seventeen.

206
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: Degrees in a hot parking lot.

207
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 3: And whoever was on our staff then who's no longer here.

208
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

209
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: They oriented the tent so that the setting sun was

210
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: blasting into our face the entire afternoon.

211
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: And it's one of those parking lots that's just nothing

212
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 5: but asphalt, like Dot one, I mean like one hundred

213
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 5: and fifty two degrees coming up right. So my office

214
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 5: is there now, but it was. The building wasn't there

215
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,360

00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 5: you but your staff is trying to put bumper stickers

218
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,160

219
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: Oh not, but you get into the little shop one

220
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: of our staff members.

221
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, no bumper stickers. I just don't

222
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: mess with my car.

223
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: Wait, they were just putting the stickers on without asking.

224
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: No, I think you had to get, but you had

225
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: to park. So it was you know, it was like

226
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 5: one way in one wall.

227
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: We had a lot of questionable people working here back then.

228
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, in Apple Valley, we're not used to that kind

229
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: of yeah business coming.

230
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: So what Obviously, if you're listening to this show and

231
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: KFI and you bid the money to come on, there

232
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: must be a lot of stuff that gets you crazy.

233
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, well it's I was talking to Raise, like, well,

234
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 5: what do you want to talk about? I was like, well,

235
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 5: whatever John talks about, because I usually just listen and

236
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: I yell at the radio.

237
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: Listening.

238
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: So that's the way we could do the next two

239
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: hours if you want. Yeah, you could react to whatever,

240
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: because we're going to basically rig of the show here

241
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: and just you get to chime in as much as

242
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: you want.

243
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's great. Just in my car, I get to

244
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: say whatever I want. And on radio there's like seven

245
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 5: words you can't say.

246
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: Well, I know, well, Freddy just used three of them,

247
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: Freddy Escobar, so we have four last Well, no, I

248
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: mean generally, what gets you shouting the loudest traffic taxes?

249
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

250
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a list of complaints and traffic's on

251
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 5: there about ten times.

252
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: This is really we're kind of talking.

253
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 5: This is our first time on this side of the

254
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 5: city since COVID, really since COVID really starts.

255
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty, and traffic is just worse than one.

256
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: It's nearly impossible to go from west to east absolutely

257
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 3: or east to west because I haven't seen a Dodger

258
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: game this year, primarily because it can take two to

259
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: three hours from the time I leave the house until

260
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: I get in the seat yep, and it's like forty minutes.

261
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: What you approach the parking lot, right, it's about forty

262
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: minutes to get in and then park and.

263
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 5: You think you think you've made it because you're getting

264
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: off the freeway, and then it's just another it's another

265
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 5: thirty minutes, and you're like what And then on top

266
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 5: of a bottlehead night, then yeah, did you grow up here? Yeah,

267
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 5: for the most part, I grew up in southern California,

268
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 5: out in Glendora.

269
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: So what how old are you? Roughly I'm forty seven.

270
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: Forty seven, Oh you look forty six. I think you're

271
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: doing well. What's changed since you were a kid here?

272
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes it's hard to explain to people. I

273
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: remember California just ten years ago being drastically different than

274
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: it is now. Now, what have you seen over forty

275
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: six years? I only go back like thirty three, but

276
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: you go back forty six?

277
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: What what? Yeah?

278
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 5: Well, I go, yeah, I've that's started listening to you.

279
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 5: And I was in junior high so yeah, fright didn't

280
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: say no.

281
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: It's but my dad The math is the math with

282
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: my dad in the car.

283
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 5: But I asked this question of people all the time,

284
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 5: especially you know the blue No matter who people, if

285
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 5: you lived here twenty years ago, just ask yourself, this

286
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 5: was the homeless problem as bad back then it is now.

287
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: And there's not one person who says, oh it was

288
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 5: it's always been this bad.

289
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: No, it's it's so homeless.

290
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: The homeless problem has just blown up the last ten

291
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 5: to fifteen years.

292
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say the first twenty years we did our

293
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: show out here, I don't think it ever came up

294
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: as a topic ever.

295
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: Never, it was never.

296
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 5: It became a problem with leadership who told us there

297
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 5: was a problem, and now now there's an actual problem.

298
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: Well now there's an industry, right yeahh yeah.

299
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 5: And and at traffic too, I mean, you could get

300
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: from the Inland Empire to downtown and forty five minutes

301
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 5: to an hour, and it's just it's it's exponentially. Everything

302
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 5: is just moving so much faster and maybe devolving so much,

303
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 5: definitely devolving.

304
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: Yes, no, there's there's not a lot of forward movement.

305
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 5: No, we're you know, we're you know, you've talked about

306
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: plenty of that's high speed trained and nowhere, and that

307
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 5: was supposed to aleviate all the problems, and nothing's happened, right,

308
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: I mean, and so.

309
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: What's changed?

310
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: A lot is one A lot less empty lots, a

311
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 5: lot less dirt. I mean, look around. You know, there

312
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: used to be somewhat farms. Used to go out to Chino,

313
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: there'd be farms. It's all apartments and industrial buildings now

314
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: and there's just so many more people and without the

315
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 5: infrastructure to keep up with it. And if you do

316
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 5: just kind of think that, you know, in the year

317
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 5: two thousand, yeah, you could walk the streets and you

318
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 5: wouldn't be accosted by homeless people, or you will.

319
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: And I remember I talk about it all the time.

320
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: We used to go downtown all the time to go

321
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: to the theater down there, you know, the Mark Taper,

322
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: the Dorothy.

323
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Chandler or I don't even know what they call that theater.

324
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: Now they change, you know, the want to go all

325
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: the time back then, and now she won't cross the

326
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: four or five.

327
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have those same problems too. It's when you

328
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: when you set your your I don't know your life

329
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 5: or your or your extracurricular activities, and you say, well,

330
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 5: I don't want to put up with the traffic or

331
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 5: I don't want to put up with the people, so

332
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: I'm going to avoid doing something fun.

333
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah you got a problem.

334
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go two hours in traffic and your reward

335
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: is you had eight homeless people surrounding your car when

336
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: you finally get a parking space, if you can get

337
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: a parking space, right, yeah, and it's it's completely unlivable.

338
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: Why do you think because I've got people out where

339
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: you live vote differently right right.

340
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: Where all people who came here grew up here.

341
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and said I've had enough of this and you

342
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 5: move out to the suburbs.

343
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: Why do you think they vote the way they vote,

344
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: considering almost everybody I know is on with the result

345
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: something something disconnected along the line where people aren't connecting

346
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: their votes to the outcomes here.

347
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 5: Well, in my opinion, yeah, I'm not an expert by

348
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 5: any means and any political discussion, but it is there

349
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 5: are people who their politics is their religion. And you've

350
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 5: talked about I think you talked about yesterday or the

351
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: day before about the religion of certain people being a

352
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: lack of faith in other institutions, right, and following either

353
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: a climate agenda or a political agenda, and they ignore

354
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 5: everything else, and they'll make excuses for everything that people

355
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 5: normal rational. I consider myself somewhat rational. I consider you

356
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 5: somewhat rational. Somewhat that we just get out numbered by

357
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 5: the irrational people who have Yeah, I.

358
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: Mean I'm not I'm not a religious person, but I

359
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 3: do know that there's a basic desire in people to

360
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: believe in if not, if not a religious philosophy, it

361
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: seems a political philosop Like humans get attracted to that

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: and they invest emotionally very deeply. And instead of church,

363
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: now they invest in political parties or candidates or these

364
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: weird progressive movements which are very religious like in their

365
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 3: intensity and their dogma right exactly.

366
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 5: And if you say anything slightly contradictory, I mean people

367
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: will You can lose friends over it, and people who

368
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 5: normally see what somewhat rast So you start talking about

369
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 5: some type of political issue like that and they'll catch trump.

370
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 5: You can't even talk about I mean, it's you have

371
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 5: to kind of like give out.

372
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: Can we talk about we talk?

373
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 5: Oh, okay, okay, that's good, okay, because some people are triggered

374
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 5: by those things.

375
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: No.

376
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: I told the story once on the air, but there's Uh,

377
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 3: I'm on the West Side, which is almost entirely like uh,

378
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: you know, progressive democratic, and my kids went to a

379
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 3: private school, so it's even more so there. And we're

380
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: at some cocktail party, I think as a fundraiser.

381
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: They wanted money to build something.

382
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: And I'm standing just minding my own business, and you know,

383
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: they all parents. They know who I am, so they

384
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: know what kind of nonsense we discussed on the radio.

385
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 3: And one guy who I barely knew, he comes up

386
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: to me and he starts looking around to the left

387
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: and to the right and up and down he goes,

388
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: and he's whispering, can I tell you something? And I'm thinking,

389
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: is this guy coming out of the closet for me?

390
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the way he was acting like he's

391
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: got this, this terribly embarrassing secret he wants to share.

392
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: And it was about the time of the first Trump election,

393
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 3: and I go, oh, go ahead, and he goes, I

394
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: think I'm going to vote for Trump.

395
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: I think I like the guy.

396
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: But he's so nervous, he's like shaking, he's drinking. I said, well,

397
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: it's okay, you can confess to me. I didn't tell anybody.

398
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: He goes, I just wanted to tell somebody. And that's

399
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 3: that is the way people are so spooked and afraid to,

400
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: you know, express himself.

401
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I've had I've had several friends, even just beyond Trump.

402
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 5: I have one particular friend who called me and asked me,

403
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: can I ask your opinion about the vaccine because it

404
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: was dogma. You line up and you get it. And

405
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: I my personal opinion is, I don't care. Do what

406
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 5: you want to do, whatever makes you happy, if you're happy,

407
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 5: if you have. My biggest thing, especially as an attorney,

408
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: we as the people. Your job, the government's job, is

409
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 5: to give us all the information and give us actual

410
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 5: facts and the real information, not your lies, not your

411
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 5: talking points.

412
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 2: Give us all the facts and let us make the

413
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: discuss what it does, tell us what the risks are.

414
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 5: Exactly right, and don't lie about it, and let and

Speaker 5: let the individual make their.

416

Speaker 2: No forced mandate or you lose your job.

417
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 5: Correct. And that's where and that's kind of where we

418
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 5: were at that point in time. And it was because

419
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 5: you know, we got really sick with this vaccine and

420
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,960

Speaker 3: so twelve years ago, is it twelve years ago? Actually

457
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: fourteen years ago. Jerry Brown's last budget, or his first

458
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,760

Speaker 3: highest in the country when it comes to sales taxes,

463
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 3: income taxes, gas taxes, and even though property taxes are

464
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 3: not among the highest in the country, the revenue is

465
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: because of you know, the expensive property.

466
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 5: I love that speaking point too well. Prop there's teen

Speaker 3: Come on right where your budget is triple what it

470
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 3: was fourteen years ago. Prop thirteen isn't stopping anything. Well,

471
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: he they were twenty seven billion dollars in debt, they

472
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: cut eleven, they took seven from the rainy Day fund,

473
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: and now they found that they're twelve billion dollars extra

474
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: in debt that they hadn't counted on. Do you know

475
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 3: what the number twelve billion?

476
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: And you know what that.

477
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: Matches, probably the exact amount that they were spending on

478
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 5: something they shouldn't be spending on money.

479
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: You win again, you are a winner.

480
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: Yes, illegal alien healthcare is twelve billion dollars and the

481
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: budget deficit is twelve billion that they're telling us that

482
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 3: they're admitting to it at the moment.

483
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

484
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 3: So, Ed, there's no other state that pays for illegal

485
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: alien health care, and we pay for it from cradle

486
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 3: to grave, and which attracts more illegal aliens. Now that's

487
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 3: probably something you've seen over the years to increase in

488
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: the immigration. Oh yeah, And so here's these radical ideas.

489
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: He wants to hold down the deficit. He's going to

490
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: freeze new enrollment. Everybody who's in the state still gets

491
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 3: free medical care.

492
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: So let's get this straight.

493
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 5: The new administrations pretty much stop people from coming in

494
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 5: here illegally.

495
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, exactly, So this is a good time to

496
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: freeze because they're not going to be here anymore. And

497
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: then if you're over eighteen, you have to pay one

498
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 3: hundred dollars monthly premium. For one hundred dollars you get

499
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 3: full government healthcare coverage.

500
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 2: I don't think our premium is one hundred dollars a month. No,

501
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that infuriate as yours? I don't think

502
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: yours is.

503
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 3: No, No, No, we got a pretty good deal because

504
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: we got we got a union.

505
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 2: But it's still that it's not accurate.

506
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: No, So you and I and your wife we have

507
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: to pay much higher monthly premiums and we have to

508
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: pay the highest taxes in the country in order to

509
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: provide free health care for legal aliens.

510
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 5: Right and again, ten years ago or fourteen years ago,

511
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 5: even before Obamacare, is your insurance getting that much better?

512
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 5: Our insurance? The premiums were not that high fourteen years ago. No,

513
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: that we're paying No, I know they mine doubled in

514
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 5: the last few years. Right, So where's all this success?

515
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 5: Where's all this and where's all this money go?

516
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: Why?

517
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 5: How did the budget triple? Or is it triple or

518
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: more than triple?

519
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

520
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ninety eight billion to three hundred and thirty billion.

521
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 5: Yes, And what do we get? What do we get

522
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 5: for it? Like, do we have faster traffic lanes? Do

523
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 5: we have better premiums?

524
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: Do we have Well? Didn't you get a ride on

525
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: the high speed rail?

526

Speaker 3: That's I can't. I don't know that. Usually I can

00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: put up with almost anything. That trial just grosses me out.

567
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 6: It's disgusting.

568
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't even read about it. All right.

569
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: Yesterday though, we had the story about the birds exploding

570
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: up in the Bay.

571
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 6: Area, and we wanted to see video of that.

572
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: I did.

573
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: They were stayed with the birds would land on the

574
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: power line. You hear about the story, and I did

575
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: not know birds would land on the power.

576
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: Line and then explode. You'd hear a pop. Where's this that?

577
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: This is in Richmond, northeast of San Francisco. Okay, all right?

578
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 3: And so they thought maybe the uh, the power lines

579
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 3: weren't coated properly, weren't protected properly, right, there was too

580
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 3: much of an electric charge, and birds were just overheating

581
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 3: and exploding. In fact, they found thirteen birds in neighborhood yards,

582
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: or you know, the remains of thirteen birds, a morning dove,

583
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: a European starling.

584
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: So these these are pretty birds, right.

585
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 6: You're a bird leverage.

586
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: Well it did upset me because it would be it

587
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 3: says here, a loud pop.

588
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Oh.

589
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: In fact, one resident their doorbell camera, the ring camera

590
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 3: got footage of the bird falling after the pop, and

591
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 3: so they land and they just quit explode. It's really violent,

592
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: according to one resident. So the Department of Fish and

593
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: Wildlife investigated, so did PG And there's PGN again on

594
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: the case. Yeah, they kill a lot of people. They're

595
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 3: good at it. They kill them by the hundreds of

596
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: PG and A and they kill birds. Well, it turns

597
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: out an amazing twist of the story, the birds were

598
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 3: not electrocuted. Some creep in the neighborhood is firing either

599
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: a pellet gun or a BB gun or a slingshot.

600
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 2: You so serious, yes.

601
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 6: And nobody caught that on ring camera.

602
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: No, you can't see you know, what's hitting the bird

603
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: or where it's coming from. And now the department is

604
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: getting photos of birds at all over that location. And

605
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: there's some somebody's somebody's creepy teenage.

606
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 6: Son, and well, well you know what I'm going to say.

607
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: No, what.

608
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 6: I'm going to say that when we find this person.

609
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: Yes, oh oh, this is Deborah's Yes, yes.

610
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 7: Then we need to do the same to that person.

611
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 7: That person needs to explode.

612
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: Fire enough shots at them until they you know.

613
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 6: I'm sick and tired of people abusing animals. I'm serious.

614
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 6: Something needs to be done.

615
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 5: The birds are leaving San Francisco because there's nothing worth

616
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 5: pooping on there.

617
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: Oh well yeah, Deborah's punishment recommendations are usually extreme, but

618
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: I agree with you here.

619
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: I go for her.
