1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: We have sad news to report. No money today. The 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: CAFI cash refill contest has taken a holiday, just like 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: a lot of other people. Martin Luther King Junior day. No, anyway, 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: he'll be back tomorrow. You know what. Every day here 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: looks like a federal holiday, so it's hard hard for 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 1: me to tell. And the same with traffic today. For 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: you or notice anything lighter or different, seems exactly the same. Oh, 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: traffic was so light for me coming in this morning, though, 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: blessing no sing I didn't get that she drives at 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: an earlier hour than you. So oh this everybody's running 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: around my neighborhoods, just people everywhere with nothing to do. 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: You know, they drop a day off like this after 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: you've been off for all the holidays. People are just like, 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? But just go to the 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: beach and stand around. Yeah, it's just standing around day. 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: Although I heard today that unlike other federal holidays, this 17 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: is an official federal day of service, people are supposed 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: to be committing acts of community service memory of doctor King. Yeah, 19 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: oh that's nice. What did you do? Well? You didn't 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: take the day off though, that's right, so right do 21 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: you take the day off, you go and do service. Right, 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: So I assume all the people this is your service 23 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: for the people. That's right. We are going to be 24 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: informing and warning people of many that's right, getting angry 25 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: and pointing things out that nobody else points out. Sure, 26 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: you know, doing our job for the community. But I 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: know the rest of the people who didn't show up today, 28 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: they're not doing a day's service. I know that. Well, 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: we'll begin by telling you something you probably won't hear 30 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: or read about in too many places. It comes from 31 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: the state of Wyoming. They have drafted a resolution in 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: the state legislature in Wyoming to ban the sale of 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: new electric cars by twenty thirty five. If that sounds 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: like opposite land and that I made a mistake in 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: reading this, I did not. That is the intent behind 36 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: the resolution Senate Joint Resolution four. And it is a 37 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: response to states that are phasing out petroleum gasoline based cars. 38 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: That's their response. Now, it's because Wyoming is a big 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: oil and gas state, felt the need to defend the industry. 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: Smart thing to do. It's about the only industry in Wyoming. 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: So you know, there's only a six hundred thousands odd 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: people that live there. Yes, it's quite empty. And they 43 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: still get two US senators. They still get two US 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: senators and they they just don't They're not gonna put 45 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: up with this California crap. You know, it's time Wyoming 46 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: set the set the example for the rest of the nation. 47 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: We've got two sources for the story that that Ray 48 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: sent us. One of them is Cowboy State Daily. Do 49 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: you read that one to Cowboy State Daily dot com? 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: I have a subscription. Yes, Wyoming is the Cowboys State 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: So that's the name of the publication. You do have 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: a subscription, Yeah, yeah, I did. Jim Anderson said that 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: it's to push back against bands on new sales of 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: cars with internal combustion engines and states like California and 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: New York. We would be saying, if you don't like 56 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: our Petoleum cars, well we don't like your electric cars. 57 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: How about that? Well, you know it's interesting because what 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: is it called? Again? The Cowboy State Daily points out 59 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: that a twenty twenty one study by the International Energy Agency, 60 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: which is one of those Paris organizations, calculated that electric 61 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: vehicles require six times more minerals than conventional cars. Minerals 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: such as copper lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, zinc, and rare earths. 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Are We're going to run out of this stuff if 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: everybody has an electric car. We here in the United 65 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: States do not have large deposits of some of these minerals. 66 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: We have to buy them from China. And much of 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: this has to be mined in Africa, and the Chinese 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: own most of the cobalt mining operations in Africa, specifically 69 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: in the Republic of the Congo, and they employ and 70 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: I've seen a film done on this, they employ children 71 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: and African women as slaves. They work in very dangerous conditions. 72 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: There are a lot of casualties, and they're paid very little. 73 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: So if you want to talk about one of the 74 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: centers of modern day slavery, go to the Chinese cobalt 75 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: mines in the Congo and you will see some really hideous, 76 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: heartbreaking conditions. Of course, none of the progressives here particularly 77 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: care about that. They just be rather preen about their 78 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: silly electric vehicle. Heard a new story this morning. China 79 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: is selling electric cars like crazy. They are kind of 80 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: leading the globe and the growth of electric car sales 81 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: the US has jumped thanks to the gas prices in 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: the last year. But China is really pushing for this, 83 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: probably because they understand that there's only so much they 84 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: can do with all the coal plants and everything else 85 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: that they've been doing with oil production. So they're pushing 86 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: electric and probably for the reasons you just said. They 87 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: have control of some of the mines in Africa and 88 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: they think they can get some of these elements. They 89 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: own the business and so do you think if there's 90 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: a shortage, and there already as a shortage many of 91 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: these minerals, they can't mind it fast enough. What do 92 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: you think is going to happen? We're gonna get screwed. 93 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: They own the supply chain, we don't. And I you 94 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: know what's really strange is I don't know why America 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: sat around and let the Chinese gobble up all the 96 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: cobalt mining in the Congo. I don't understand the year 97 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: the competitive particularly in the push in this country to 98 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: have everybody driven electric vehicle. They gotta understand that's a 99 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: that's a key element. Now the other thing that's important, 100 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: and it's pointed out in this resolution. We've mentioned this 101 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: from time to time, but it is going to be 102 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: a bigger story in the years to come, the difficulty 103 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: and disposing of the old electric vehicle batteries from the resolution, 104 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: the critical minerals used in electric batteries are not easily 105 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: recyclable or disposable, meaning that municipal landfills in Wyoming and 106 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: elsewhere we required to develop practices to dispose of these 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: minerals in a safe and responsible manner. And I think 108 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: we talked about this a few months ago. Yeah, this 109 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: is a big concern. Because evs are so new, we're 110 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: not having a lot of teri's run out. Yeah, but 111 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: that's going to be the future when the car's battery 112 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: eventually runs down. Of course, among the world progressives, they're 113 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: so concerned about all these batteries. They're worried about plastic 114 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: straws ah. I could say this is a bigger until 115 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: there's concerned than plastic straw. Until there's a video of 116 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: an electric battery stuck up the nose of a turtle, 117 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: of a sea turtle. Yeah, then they'll then they'll get 118 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: concerned about it. Now. The only weird thing about this 119 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: which made me think it was also maybe a joke, 120 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: but it's it's a true resolution. They believe it's mostly symbolic, 121 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: but the co sponsor is State Senator Brian Bohner, a 122 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: Republican from Douglas, Wyoming. Mister Bonner, it's your turn now. 123 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: On the other end of this was Car and Driver, 124 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: Car and Driver magazine. I was a lot of people 125 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: used to get that when I was a kid, used 126 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: to see that in the news. Yeah. Yeah. They called 127 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: this bill purely symbolic, purely a stunt. It's a simple 128 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: little bill, one that presents wildly balanced views of the 129 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: benefits and costs of evs and wouldn't, in the end 130 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: actually bann ev sales. Not yet anyway. If adopted, the 131 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: bill would simply do two things. It would force the 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: legislature to shoot for the goal that the sale of 133 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: new evs and the state be phased out by twenty 134 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: thirty five. The bill would also encourage Wyoming's industries and 135 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: citizens to limit the sale and purchase of new evs 136 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: well in Wyoming. This is the mirror of the California bill, because, 137 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: believe me, in twenty thirty five, people are still going 138 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: to be buying gas powered cars from dealers. Oh could 139 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: you imagine what electric supplies could look like in twenty 140 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: thirty five the way it is now with these possible 141 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: blackouts we get every summer. Now that thinks about just 142 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: the growth and people trying to use electric over other 143 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: forms of energy. By twenty thirty five, I think you're right, 144 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: somebody's going to say, we just can't do this. There's 145 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: not enough got enough Greek capacity. A lot of this 146 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: stuff that came out of Gavin Newsom's empty head is 147 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: going to end up being modified by twenty thirty five 148 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: because it's simply impossible, and there is We're only twelve 149 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: years away. And if you notice, there is no sustained 150 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: effort to greatly expand our electrical grid or to expand 151 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: the charging stations. If anything, we're going backwards because in September, 152 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: if you remember, during the electricity shortage, they told us 153 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: not to plug at our electric cars between four and 154 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: nine o'clock. Yes, now come this September or whenever we 155 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: get the big heatwave, you're going to hear the same thing. 156 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: They don't. They don't have any concrete plans. They have resolutions, 157 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: they have paper that they can wave in the air, 158 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: but really they don't have like actual construction going on 159 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: anywhere to greatly expanding electrical grids. So and one more 160 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: story along the lines of clean energy. Oh, from our 161 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: older radio state New Jersey, actually John's home state. There 162 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: is a congressman who is pretty worked up because apparently 163 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of whales washing up on shore dead. Yeah, 164 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,359 Speaker 1: seven of them, and he wonders if it's the offshore 165 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: wind farms that are doing them. In the latest desk 166 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: Thursday was a twenty to twenty five foot long humpback whale. 167 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: It remains washed ashore. John and Bigoteen just north of 168 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: Atlantic City's right, that's where we were right. The governor 169 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: is saying, I will not halt He's a Democrat. I 170 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: will not halt for now any offshore wind farms. There's 171 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: no proof of this yet. We have to determine more 172 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: specifically what caused the death of these whales, some of 173 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: which are endangered. But what is this? Uh? What does 174 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: this politician know about the cause of death. It leads 175 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: him to believe it's the wind farm. I don't is 176 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: there something leaking? Uh? I mean, or they get chopped up? 177 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: I said, I don't think the whale can jump that high. 178 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure birds. Those wind farms will kill a 179 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: lot of birds, that's for sure, but how it kills 180 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: a whale is just not explained. Is there's something I 181 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: don't know? It's an underwater that could affect the whales 182 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: if they pass by. We'll look into this story, but 183 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: for now, it is an unusual number of dead whales 184 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: washing up off the shore right Jersey. So they got 185 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: to figure out what he is doing it here. Here's 186 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: like one possibility. It's it's a there's a company from 187 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: Denmark that's building two of the wind projects, and they 188 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: could be using pulses of low frequency sound as they 189 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: explore the ocean floor because you have to rout the 190 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: wind the windmills in something, you know, some solid ground 191 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: down below, and they use pulses of low frequency sound 192 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: in the same frequency that whales here and communicate with, 193 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: and that could harm or disorient the animals. Oh so 194 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: that's right the theories. So they end up with the 195 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: brain chaos. Yeah, right, then they just die and kind 196 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: of float the shore. All right, We got more coming up. 197 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: Johnny ken KF I am six forty live everywhere the 198 00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. I like that term brain chaos exactly. Look 199 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: who's here, miss rain chaos? That's right, Debora Mark live 200 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: in the twenty four hour camp By Newsroom. We go, 201 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: let's talk about today another Riverside County sheriff's deputy was murdered. 202 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: This is the second in just over two weeks. We're 203 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: gonna have Steve Gregory on after two o'clock to try 204 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: to fill us in with some of the details. But 205 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: apparently he was answering a call of unknown trouble, which 206 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: I read was more like domestic disturbance. It's only four 207 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: in the afternoon in Lakeland Village out there in the 208 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: Inland Empire in Riverside County, and he was shot by 209 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: a suspect. Was eventually shot by police officers and was 210 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: listed in critical condition. But this deputy was married with 211 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: two and four year old sons and a pregnant widow. 212 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: Really sad story. He had just transferred from San Diego 213 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: to be closer to his family, which runs a barbecue 214 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: restaurant in Murietta. So we'll get all the details from 215 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: Steve after the news two o'clock. Now we go to 216 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: almost well not exactly the same place, but we go 217 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: back to the Inland Empire for one of the oldest 218 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: stories on the John and Ken show. For how many 219 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: years have we covered the guy on death row, Kevin Cooper? 220 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: Holy Mackwell, what was this? A murder? Was nineteen eighty 221 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: three he was convicted of fatally stabbing two children and 222 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: two adults inside a Chino Hill's home. If you don't 223 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: remember this, we've had family members on over the years, 224 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: but Doug and Peggy Ryan and their ten year old 225 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: daughter Jessica were stabbed to death, as well as a 226 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: boy who was staying over for the night, eleven year 227 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: old Christopher Hughes. The Ryan's eight year old son Joshua, 228 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: survived the attack. Cooper had moved his way up on 229 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: death row and he was due to be executed when 230 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: everything ground to a halt for well, probably well known 231 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: reasons for most listeners now the whole standdown on executions 232 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: in the state. But of course, time and time again, 233 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: we kept hearing, no, this man is likely innocent, do 234 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: not execute him. We just believe that because we want 235 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: to believe that he got the right people to believe that. 236 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: He's been a pet case of the woke progressive movement 237 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: for decades now decades, and and he was just within 238 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: weeks of getting executed. I think back in two thousand 239 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: and five, when yeah, when they when they blocked executions 240 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: because they were fighting over how to kill people. Yeah. 241 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: I know what's happened is there was this this idiot 242 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: columnist for the New York Times. Yeah, the Times picked 243 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: twenty one yeah yeah, yeah, even even before that and 244 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Yeah. Yeah. This guy, this guy had this 245 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: obsession with with getting Kevin Cooper off and I can't 246 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: remember they got the guys. How when I hear his 247 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: name again, Nicholas christ Nicholas Christoff, Yeah, yeah, he's he's 248 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: an old line wokester. It says, was Levin Cooper framed 249 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: for murder? Yeah? So he started this up and Newsom 250 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: read this, probably somebody read it to Newsom, and he 251 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: decided that, well, you know, based on the evidence in 252 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: the Nicholas Christoff column, I'm not going to execute him, 253 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: and they put the whole thing on suspension. Now Christoff, 254 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: this is I just want to have a stupid christoffice. 255 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: Christoff quit his job as a New York Times columnist, 256 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: which is a you know, in journalism, that's one of 257 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: the top purchase that writers aspired to. He quit it 258 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: because he was going to run I think for governor 259 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: in Oregon. He was yes, and he got to Oregon 260 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: after quitting and applied and found out he wasn't eligible 261 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: because he hadn't lived in Oregon not long enough. I 262 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: think was right, So he didn't change that for research exactly. 263 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: That's my whole point. The guy was dumb enough to 264 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: quit his job at the New York Times and moved 265 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: cross country to run for governor and found out he 266 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: because he hadn't lived there long enough. So you're not 267 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: dealing with with the sharpest knife in the drawer there. Well, 268 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: guess what. The governor, after all of the hoopla you 269 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: talked about, appointed a special council woo and outside independent 270 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: council to look into the Kevin Cooper case and um. 271 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: The report reads, the evidence of Cooper's guilt is extensive 272 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: and conclusive. Blap blap, blap blamp blap, because there was 273 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: because he is the killer, because there was all sorts 274 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: of DNA in the house from him. Kevin Cooper's DNA 275 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: was at the scene, just like there wasn't any DNA evidence. 276 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: The report said that points to any other person as 277 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: the culprit. Two hundred and forty three page report and 278 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: genetic testing found his DNA inside the home on cigarette 279 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: butts recovered from a station wagon stolen from the family's 280 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: home after the killings. Right, so it's case closed, honestly. 281 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: Now Kim Kardashian's involved too well, right, because she's on 282 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: the same intellectual level as Gavin Newsom and Nicholas Kristof 283 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: and Nicholas Christoph. Okay, the three of these geniuses. You 284 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: could add up their three IQs together and you wouldn't 285 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: get the room temperature. And this is the one who 286 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: These are the people driving this news story, and we 287 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: had now we wasted several more years with an outside 288 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: independent investigation. Is DNA is there? Like Brian Koeberger's DNA 289 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: is at the crime scene up in Idaho, like Ohja's 290 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: DNA was at the crime scene. How come nobody says 291 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: Brian Kolberg is being framed because of his race, that 292 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: only a plasson come up yet. Yeah, no, but that's 293 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: what they were saying about Kevin Cooper. Well, he was 294 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: framed by police because it was well, it's like, no, 295 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: he actually killed the family because it was a party house. 296 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: Brian Koeberger might be able to explain away his DNA 297 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: at that house. But Cooper. But by the way, he 298 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: didn't he escape from Jamil, escaped from a prison that 299 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: wasn't far from the house house, right, got out of 300 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: the prison, and then he broke it and he killed 301 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: this family and he stole their car. Right, yet he 302 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: still lives and all these people have been dead since 303 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty three. Unbelievable story of the things they 304 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: laxed onto. The eight year old boy I mentioned that survived, 305 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: It was a little confused when he started to talk 306 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: about what he saw as the possible suspects. First he 307 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: was identifying some Latino men. He was just all over 308 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: the place. Didn't his name is Joshua? Was only eight, 309 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: wasn't he his throat cut? Yeah? He was, Yeah, Yes, 310 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: he stopped. Yeah, it's a major medical trauma. He suffered 311 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: an awhile from to come back from those injuries. I 312 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: have I have met some of these Innocence Project types, right, 313 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: and they want to get people off death row or 314 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: out of prison entirely. They've always got weird, little dangling 315 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: threads of the case that they upsets on, and they're 316 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: very clever and passionate about turning these little, tiny nuggets 317 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: into these huge mountains of doubt, and it's all performance. 318 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: It's all theater. It's all how they project and how 319 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: they demonstrate. And then you know when you actually because 320 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: I've talked to a couple of these people, when you 321 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: talk to them and start peppering them with questions because 322 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: they're really good where at a microphone or at a podium, 323 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: and nobody challenges them, you know, like like Newsom right, 324 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: But if you actually challenge him over the details, you 325 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: get a lot of that, you know, because none of 326 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: their stuff actually flesh. You can't, they can't really flesh 327 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: out their arguments. Things fall apart quickly. You have to 328 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: have an emotional presentation and use racism to scare people 329 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: and manipulate them, so everyone's afraid to contest it. It's like, well, 330 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: I don't think this is really a right analysis, but 331 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to be accused of racism. There is 332 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: no reasonable possibility that more investigation beyond what has already 333 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: been conducted in this matter could affect the conclusion that 334 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: evidence of Cooper's guilt is conclusive. The report said, so 335 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: that should be the end of that. Of course, we 336 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: don't execute anybody anyway, but I didn't want this end 337 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: up being a freeman. That would be wrong. No, no, no, 338 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: he's sixty five. The very least he should. He should 339 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: rotten jail tily dies. They don't think they'll give him 340 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: old persons a parole release. Not No, not as long 341 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: as Newsom's running for president. All right, we got more 342 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: coming up, John and Ken KF I am six forty 343 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: live everywhere the iHeartRadio appet as well. It'll be Michael Ducacas. 344 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: We'll be joined by Steve Gregory from KFI News concerning 345 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: the shooting death of another Riverside County Shriff's deputy. This 346 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: happened Friday afternoon. It's the second in just a couple 347 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: of weeks. He'll give us all the details and maybe 348 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: we'll learn something about the suspect that might lead us 349 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: back to our fading criminal justice system. All about reform, 350 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: right anyway, we'll get into that after two o'clock. In 351 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: case you don't know, the rain stopped, and from what 352 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: I can see in the ten day forecast outside of Thursday, 353 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: which has a bit of a chance, not much happening 354 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: for the next ten days, so we may be into 355 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: a calmer period. Downtown Los Angeles got one point eight 356 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: two inches of rain yesterday the Sunday drenching which finally 357 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: moved out late yesterday. The old record was one point 358 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: five six inches, set in nineteen seventy eight. Lax one 359 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: and a half inches. The old record was one point 360 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: five one. This was one point five three, also set 361 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight. You can see the trend here. 362 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: Apparently is a big storm here because a Long Beach 363 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: airport also broker record set in nineteen seventy eight, and 364 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: the airport at Camarillo broker records set in nineteen ninety 365 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: by getting one point four three inches of rain. Which 366 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: I was waiting for this story, and it finally came 367 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: out from the Washington posts. In California, drought turns to floods. 368 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: Forecasters didn't see it coming. Oh isn't that sad? Coming 369 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: into this winter, California was mired in a three year drought, 370 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: with forecasts offering little hope of relief anytime soon. Fast 371 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: forward to today, the state is water logged with as 372 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: much as ten to twenty inches of rain and up 373 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: to two hundred plus inches of snow that have fallen 374 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: in some locations in just the past three weeks. Now, 375 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: of course they want to point at the drought is 376 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: an over right, there's still some areas of the state 377 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: that have some levels of drought. The National Oceanic and 378 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center, do you go there, John 379 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: for your forecast? EPC issues seasonal forecasts a precipitation in 380 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: temperature for one to thirteen months into the future. Their 381 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: initial outlook for this winter, issued in October twentieth, favored 382 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: below normal precipitation and so cal. I think it looks 383 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: like in Washington they're gonna go into a round of 384 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: budget cutting. Yes, I think the first thing they ought 385 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: to cut is the Climate Prediction Center. Just close it down, 386 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: move out all the desks in the computers. Give these 387 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: guys mops and brooms, because this is a complete waste 388 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: of time. Here's a number for you. Since late December, 389 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 1: twenty four trillion gallons of water have fallen in California. 390 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: Twenty four trillion in most of it went into the ocean, 391 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 1: washed away rights. A separate story that brings us back 392 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: to the old Delta smelt pot. Get to that in 393 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: a moment. Here's here's the thing, and this is the truth, 394 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: and people don't like we tell ourselves a lot of myths. 395 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: It just seems to be human nature. Here's the a myth. 396 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: We think we're so technologically advanced that we can predict 397 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: the future in everything. Well, half the media is about predictions. 398 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: And we're also have such a belief in technology and 399 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: in ourselves that we think we can outwit nature, that 400 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: we know what's coming with it. It's impossible. Nature works 401 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: on its own mysterious system, and we can document the 402 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: cycles after the fact, but you cannot predict the cycles. 403 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: They never have and they may never do that, not 404 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: in our lifetimes. They updated the forecast in November November 405 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: seventeenth to be exact. What do you know, It's still 406 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: called for a pretty good chance of below normal precipitation 407 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: in the southern half of California. The northern half they 408 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: thought they might be at maybe slightly above normal. Again 409 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: dead wrong, No. Seventeenth. What I enjoyed in the story though, 410 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: and of course it goes on to talk about they 411 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,239 Speaker 1: thought that Lannina was going to dominate. Lanninia conditions are 412 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 1: generally characterized or associated with below normal precipitation in central 413 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: and southern California. It had been three years in a 414 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: row of La Nina. They thought, why not another year 415 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: of Ladina? We're not seeing anything in our wives predicting model. Yeah, 416 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: as we've told you several times, they had a ninety 417 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: one percent probability that this was going to be a 418 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: dryer than normal winter. So you can't get much more 419 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: wrong than that unless you're predicting Hillary Clinton becoming president. 420 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: So let's think about this. It's just a few months 421 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: away and they're at ninety one percent. Is there any 422 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: point that they should be doing the job they're doing 423 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: or can't we just ride it off and say, you 424 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: know what, this is a failed experiment. You can't predict 425 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: the future. The La Times actually had a helpful graphic 426 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: the other day which was which was rare, And what 427 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: they showed is the jet stream, which is the powerful 428 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: wind currents high above us they drive the storms, and 429 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: it's right now. For the last month, it's been west 430 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: to east directly into California. So the storms caught up 431 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: in the jet stream and they were shot to the 432 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: California coast. And it's been that way for quite a 433 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: while now. In past years, the jet stream has bent 434 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: sharply to the north, let's say, towards Seattle, and then 435 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: like a like a big hump. Then it would come 436 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: down into the middle of the country. So there was 437 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: there was this sharp hump. It would go up over 438 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: and down, and there would be a big high pressure 439 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: system filled with hot air or much warmer air than 440 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: what you were getting up north, and it would block 441 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: the rain from coming here. There was a big block 442 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: sitting over the mountain states. I remember reading that during 443 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: the drought. They kept running that story that these storms 444 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: are not getting down here because there's a block because 445 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: of the state which prevents them from getting to southern California. 446 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: And who knows how long that's gonna last, right, and 447 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: what if it last for decades more? Right? Right? So 448 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: it's sitting there for three years, and so the storms 449 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: would come and ram into this block and kind of 450 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: bounce up and go up and over the west coast 451 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: and then land somewhere in the Midwest and bring them 452 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: a lot of snow until to what mirror lacks and 453 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: opened up the block is that's right, I don't know. 454 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: Some kind of atmospheric animal occurred and the atmospheric river 455 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: began to flight. The gates are wide open. Now here's 456 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: a funny one. Now, fast forward to December nineteenth. The 457 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: Prediction Center suddenly said, oh, the next eight to fourteen days, Yes, 458 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: thirty three to seventy percent chance of above normal precipitation 459 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: across all of California. Now by just nineteenth, thirty three 460 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: to seventy, thirty three to seventy chance, thirty three to 461 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: seventy Yes. Well, well they talk about tip being on 462 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: both your back. Yes, yeah, that one third to two 463 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: thirds chance, which averages out to a fifty fifty, which means, hey, 464 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't. On December thirty first, 465 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: they very wisely said, our monthly precipitation outlook suggests a 466 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: wet weather will continue through January. This was under your 467 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: by then. I think we all knew that. By then, 468 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: the jet stream had settled in and you had all 469 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: these storms forming because it takes a number of days 470 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: just to get to the coast. The next chapter of 471 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: the Washington Post story is you can't rely on long 472 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: range forecasts. Well, yeah, there we go, But the one 473 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: how many years who've been telling you that? But the 474 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: ones that tell you the temperature in a hundred years 475 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: those are a lock. Just remember this, John, the wets 476 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: are getting wetter, you know what they're not. The wets 477 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: are the same as the wets from twenty years ago 478 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: and fifty years ago, one hundred years ago. You could 479 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: look it up, I'm telling you, go to this website 480 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: la Almanac dot com la Almanac and you could see 481 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: the year by year precipitation numbers. And the dry years 482 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: are as about as dry as they always are. The 483 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: wet ears are about as wet. And that's just just 484 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: just the way the California climate is period all right. 485 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: When we come back, as John hinted, at, ninety four 486 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: percent of the water that has flowed since New Year's 487 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: Eve through the Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta has continued 488 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: straight to the Pacific Ocean, ninety four percent instead of 489 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: being captured. We'll tell you why. John and Ken KFI 490 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: AM six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app run from 491 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: one till four every day now one till four, and 492 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: if you missed the show, you can get the podcast 493 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: at the iHeartRadio app or the John and Ken or 494 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: the KFI website. It's called John and Ken on demand. 495 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: That's it's a good name for it. Yes, Steve Gregory 496 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: will be by after two o'clock. We of a second 497 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: Riverside County sheriff's deputy fatally shot on duty. Deputy Isaiah 498 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: Cordero was fatally shot during that traffic stop in Harupa 499 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: Valley on December twenty ninth by a piece of crap 500 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: that we already had their three strikes conviction should not 501 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: have been free. Now we're going to learn what happened 502 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon out in the Inland Empire to another sheriff's 503 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: deputy was answering a call of some kind of disturbance 504 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: at a home in a residential area called Lakeland Village. 505 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: So that'll come up after the news at two o'clock 506 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: on the John and Ken Show. Well, we're talking about 507 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: all the water and all the water we can't have. 508 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: Here's a story that brings us also back on the 509 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show to the two inch long delta 510 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: smelt or the Shinook salmon. They're both two reasons why 511 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: we can't have a lot of this water when it 512 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: rains very heavily. In the nineteen fifties, of federal government 513 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: built big pumps near Tracy up in northern californ wanted 514 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: to send water south to farmers and cities. It was 515 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: called the Central Valley Project. In the nineteen sixties, former 516 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: California Governor Pat Brown built even bigger pumps two miles 517 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: west near Byron that pumps Delta water into the State 518 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: Water Project, which serves twenty seven million people. But the 519 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: pumps are enormous and over time, oh they have disrupted 520 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: fish and wildlife in the Delta, in including the smelt 521 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: and the salmon, sometimes grinding them up, other times removing 522 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: half of the Delta's fresh water. So, in a series 523 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: of regulations over the years, because of protections for these 524 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: two species, mostly a lot of the water and here's 525 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: the statistic, ninety four percent of the water that has 526 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: flowed since New Year's Eve through the Sacramento San Joaquin 527 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: River Delta has continued straight to the Pacific Ocean. And 528 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: because of that, some of the reservoirs that get their 529 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: water from the Delta have not filled up very much. 530 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: For example, the loss of the Caras Reservoir has gone 531 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: only from forty eight percent to fifty percent, and the 532 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: San Luis Reservoir has gone from thirty four percent full 533 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: on January one to forty two percent on Thursday. You 534 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: consider what's happened the last two weeks, that's remarkably little. 535 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: So we've flushed all this water out into the Pacific 536 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: Ocean just to spare the delta smelt. You know how 537 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: many delta smelt they found? Five five five, So it 538 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: seems as far as the delta smelt is concerned, what's 539 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: done is done. There's no reason to flash ninety four 540 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: percent of the water into the ocean. And then you 541 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: go and you do the happy dance. It's like, hey, 542 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: we found five delta smell. It's like, all right, well 543 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: that species is gone, so it's over. And they don't 544 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: think so they want to bring it back. Well they're 545 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: wrong and they're crazy, and they want to deny you water. 546 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: Look where you're dealing with fanatics here, and fanatics are 547 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: impossible to talk to. But the information has to go 548 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: out to all the normal people that there is no 549 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: reason for a water shortage. Our water shortage is one 550 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent caused by the incompetent bumblers and government who 551 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: are terrified of environmental activists. They're silly, cowardly people and 552 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: they fold every time an activist complaints, and what we 553 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 1: need is we need laws and regulations to counteract what 554 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: we've been doing and get our get that water to us. 555 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: The rule is called first flush. It requires that the 556 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: pumps be ratcheted down after the first big rain every 557 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: winter so that the migrating smelt can move westward away 558 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: from the pumps. It was actually included in the Trump 559 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: administrations Delta primits in twenty nineteen and in the new 560 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: sim Administration State Rules in twenty twenty. The delta smell 561 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: is an ugly, little flimsy fish. There's a picture of it, 562 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: very silvery. Let me let me tell you what these 563 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: activists do, and what they do is they emotionally manipulate. 564 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: That's that's the key to everything. There's a guy named 565 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: Doug o'begie here. He's an attorney with the National Defense 566 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: the National Resource Defense Counsel in San Francisco. And this 567 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: is what Obegi says, the notion that we should just 568 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: let some species go extinct because they get in the 569 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: way of corporate agribusiness profits. Let's talking about the farms. 570 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that's what Californians want. Now, that's a 571 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: clever formation there. Now it is corporate agribusiness profits. Actually 572 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: that's the food we eat, And of course there's a 573 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: farming industry, and of course they're gonna make profits. Otherwise 574 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: they won't grow the food, and then we don't eat it. 575 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: But you see how he frames it. I hate big 576 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: business all. I hate corporate agribusiness, all hate profits. Right, 577 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: it stirs up the emotion of woke people. Second line here, 578 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: no one should have the right to kill the last 579 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: delta smelt, the last chinook salmon, or the last bald eagle. 580 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: Oh he threw in the eagle. That's right. What do 581 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: they have to do with the water flow? Nothing? Because 582 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: people don't know and don't care about the delta. I 583 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: saw bald eagles in Alaska. They're beautiful. Oh he got me. 584 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: They fly high up in the air. Though they're not 585 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: gonna get Cartona. We're not gonna get flushed by the pumps. 586 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: You see what he does. It makes you go, oh, 587 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: I love bald eagles. Yeah, he knew that delta smelt 588 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: doesn't make a pretty thing to save, right, so he 589 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: threw the bald eagle. You saw a delta smelt, you 590 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: squish it? With your fight. Yeah all right. Coming up 591 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 1: next Steve Gregory to talk about this horrific story. Another 592 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: Riverside County Sheriff's deputy has been murdered while on duty. 593 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: This happened Friday afternoon, Johnny Ken Show, calf I Am 594 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: six forty Live Everywhere, the iHeartRadio app and Deborah Mark 595 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: Live in the twenty four hour calf I Newsroom
