Ken is 29 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: off today, but I'm here, debris here, Hello, so welcome. 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: We are going to have Rick Caruso on at five o'clock. 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: He's running for mayor in Los Angeles. You've probably seed 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: seen a few hundred of his ads. Rick's coming out 33 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: at five and there's a lot of coverage of him 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: today in the in the various papers. What I've always 35 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: been fascinated by, and I've seen this over the years 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: whenever there's a California story that pops nationally, uh, you know, 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: it could be anything from illegal immigration years ago to 38 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: h Arnold Schwarzenegger and the recall, and on and on. 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: There's occasionally some stories which like anthropologists, journalists from other cities, 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: and national media outlets come here to try to examine 41 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: what is going on and it's almost always amusing because 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: they come in with a whole load of biases on 43 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: what they think California is about a lot of really 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: wrong information. Often, uh, they have they have a deadline, 45 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: so they got to work quickly, and then they write 46 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: stuff that is just just occasionally just nonsense, um and 47 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: and and and The thing is, you know, at times, 48 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: because they don't spend a lot of time here, they 49 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: only know what they see in the snore in a 50 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: short snapshot um the headline in the Washington Post, they 51 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: did quite a long story their anthropologist reporter UH Scott 52 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: Wilson in Los Angeles public anger drives an identity focused 53 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: mayor's race. I don't know what that means. We've been 54 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: covering this mayor's race now, probably for a year, identity 55 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: focused mayor's race. What I see is there's two main issues, 56 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: a lot of issues, two big ones. One is the 57 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: homelessness and the others the crime. I don't know how 58 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: that impacts on anybody's identity. I assume you know, this 59 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: is the usual obsession with race, ethnicity, gender and whatever 60 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: else that these weirdos obsess on. But um, there's nothing, 61 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: there's nothing about identity. Here, it's about a colossal problem 62 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: where everyday life is just terrible for a lot of 63 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: people because of the homelessness in the crime. And it 64 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: didn't used to be that way, even five years ago, 65 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: even under Garcetti. Five years ago, it wasn't this way, 66 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: but now it is. And a lot of it has 67 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: to do with the policies of the government and various officials. 68 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: And you can point to the mayor and the city 69 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: council and the county border supervisors with one guy, one 70 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: guy in the whole county sheriff, Ian Aueva, who's fighting 71 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: against the tide, and he has some successes. But jeez, 72 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: this is not has to have to do with anybody's identity. 73 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: But that's now. By the way, if you wanted to 74 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: find out about the mayor's race in Los Angeles and 75 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: you're living back east and reading the Washington Post, you 76 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: see an identity focused mayor's race, what does he even? 77 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: What does that make you think that we're out here 78 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: arguing about race. No, normal people aren't doing that. We 79 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: journalists do that. Well, let me let me get to 80 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: the meat of this. This is a troubled city, unsettled 81 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: with much of its grievance directed towards the Democrats who 82 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: run it. There's plenty to be mad about. Close to 83 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: fifty thousand people do not have permanent housing, with a 84 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: likely majority living outside on a regular basis. I like 85 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: that term permanent housing. The Los Angeles Police Department is 86 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: confronting both a rising gun violence and a deepening contempt 87 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: among liberal activists over responses to civil rights demonstrations. I 88 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: like how they put both of those on the same level. 89 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: Gun violence which is affecting normal people, and those liberal 90 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: activists who are just so angry. Like what matters more here? 91 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: Does it matter more that that people are getting shot, robbed, burglarized, chased? 92 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: Does that matter more? Or that liberal activists are angry? 93 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: Then there's the up all night worry that even with 94 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: a place to live in a good job, Angelino's find 95 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: it increasingly hard to secure a financial handhold here handhold, 96 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: I think the term is foothold wrong. Body part rents 97 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: rise quickly, the housing market is exorbitant, and in the 98 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: city of endless highways and long commutes, gas now costs 99 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: more than six dollars a gallon. Well, that's even the 100 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: worst of the politicians in this city and county, and 101 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: that's not their fault. People have been voting with their 102 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: feet in an unhappy exodus since the numbers show that 103 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: La County saw more people leave than the first year 104 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: of the pandemic than any county in the nation. Do 105 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: you know that it makes sense? Though? Doesn't it? This 106 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: county lost more people than any other county. And now 107 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: this Bear's campaign is providing a vivid X ray of 108 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: a famously sunny city founded on pioneer optimism, made wary 109 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: by recent history and wallowing an uncertainty. The results could 110 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: suggest the potential trajectory for establishment Democrats elsewhere. That's one, two, three, four, 111 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: five paragraphs to nowhere. Why don't doesn't anybody publish that 112 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: we have a Marinas City Council who refused for five 113 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: years to pass or enforce a single law that would 114 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: rid the sidewalks, parks, and other public spaces of illegal 115 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: homeless encampments. That we did not have this widespread problem 116 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: just five years ago. It was kind of confined to 117 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: skid row in a few other places, but it became mainstream, 118 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: It became everywhere because I remember the twenty seventeen mayors race, 119 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: and I don't remember homelessness even coming up. I don't 120 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: remember even discussing it on the air until after twenty seventeen. 121 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: And so I'm, I'm I'm just stunned that because no 122 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: one's gonna wade through all this flowery poetry um about 123 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: this famously sunny city and pioneer optimism bah blah blah. 124 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: And it goes into Carusoe and how how rich he is, 125 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: and he goes think Karen Bass and you know how 126 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: earnest she is as a congresswoman and a lifetime politician here. Um. 127 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: Then then it goes to this panel of experts and 128 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: it's the same names that all the media outlets use. 129 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: They they they talked to Fernando Guerrera, founding director of 130 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: the Center for the Study of Los Angeles. There's a 131 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: Center to Study Los Angeles at Loyal and Merriman, and 132 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: this guy says, we're the most pessimistic we've been in 133 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: the last decade. As recently as twenty fifteen, two thirds 134 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: of Angelinos thought the city was headed in the right direction. 135 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: Today the figure is forty two percent. I read this 136 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: to a friend of mine this morning. He goes this 137 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: forty two percent to think it's going in the right direction. 138 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: Who are those people had the same reaction, and he says, 139 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: it's Angelinos are anxious, concerned in a way they have 140 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: not been before. It's overwhelming, and polling and focus groups 141 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: show homelessness as the chief concern. You need polling and 142 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: focus groups to tell you that. Drive around the city 143 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: for five minutes and I realize how dense everyone is, 144 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: How dense the politicians are, how dense these academic experts are, 145 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: the journalists. It's like, well, can you give me some data, 146 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: some polling results, Can you give me some focus groups? 147 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Give me drive around? You have homeless encampments in residential neighborhoods, 148 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: in front of schools, in public parks. Nobody wants that, No, 149 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: but he does, and we have it by the tens 150 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: of thousands. And they they quote Miguel Santana, who used 151 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: to work for the city and now is in some foundation. 152 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't see this as ideological. I don't see it 153 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: as one party over another. Bingo. That's the whole point. 154 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: This is not This is not a Democrat, Republican, liberal 155 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: conservative thing. It's that you don't want filthy, dangerous, crazy 156 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: homeless encampments in your neighborhoods. That's what it is, and 157 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: nobody wants this, and so they're getting attracted to the candidate, 158 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Rick Caruso, who makes it clear this his number one priority, 159 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: along with the crime. I don't know how he's going 160 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: to do on Thursday. I know he and Bashi will 161 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: be in the top two. But it's clear that that's 162 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: the issue, and this being just metastasized right under the 163 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: noses of the current leaders who did nothing but encourage 164 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: this sort of thing. And I don't think you have 165 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: to do a sociological anthropological study to figure out why 166 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: it'sself evident that nobody wants this insanity in their residential neighborhoods. 167 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: Take a break, we'll talk more when we come back. 168 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: John and Kenn just to continue for a few more 169 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: minutes on this Washington Post story. They've discovered Los Angeles 170 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: the mayor's race, Rick Caruso versus Karen Batts, and they're 171 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: scratching their beards, stroking their beards. I don't know what 172 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: they're scratching, and it's like, I don't I mean, Los 173 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: Angeles is progressive and they're thinking about electing a billionaire businessman. 174 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: What's what's going on, the world is off its axis. 175 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: And of course if you drive around, you know I'd 176 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: spent a week driving around. You can go to every 177 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: section of the city, look at what's going on at 178 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: the police stations, especially in certain parts of town. You 179 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: tell me if this has been a successful progressive experiment here, 180 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: this would be my big campaign pitch. It's like, do 181 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: you like what you see and vote for more of it? 182 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: Happy with having tens of thousands of people living and 183 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: dying in the streets, all the psychotic mental illness, all 184 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: the drug addiction, the heroin, the needles, the feces. You 185 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: like it? You know who to vote for? And what's 186 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: funny is in this story? And there's another story from 187 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: the New York Times. Maybe I'll get too later. I 188 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: don't want to spend the whole show reading this crap. 189 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: But there's this snarky attitude because Rick Caruso is successful 190 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: and people go to the grove Grove by the tens 191 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: of millions, and they like it, and the grove is 192 00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: clean and it's inviting, it's fun, and they keep accusing 193 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: him of creating this false world, this fake paradise, and 194 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: he wants to turn La into the Grove here. In fact, 195 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: here's a quote Manual Pastor, a distinguished professor of Sociology 196 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: and American Studies at USC. A distinguished professor. Man is 197 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: that is that the opinion of the writer is actually 198 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: got that title distinguished? I don't know. He is promising 199 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: essentially that the world can be just like the Grove, 200 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: and that we can sanitize our streets from homelessness. Most 201 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: towns in southern California don't have this. In fact, the 202 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: towns that are embedded inside Los Angeles don't have this. 203 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: You go to Beverly Hills, there are next to no 204 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: homeless people in the streets because Beverly Hills doesn't put 205 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: up with it. Culver City the same way. West Hollywood 206 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: is largely free. So you have these islands of sanity. 207 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Even much as Santa Monica, certain certain sections of Santa 208 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: Monica you can't find a homeless person because people and 209 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: the city just doesn't put up with it. Now, certain 210 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: sections of Santa Monica are a disgusting hellhole. But it's funny. 211 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: Whatever the reason is, some areas stay clear and some 212 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: areas are allowed to rot. It's just that in La 213 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: City they've allowed the homeless infestation to go almost everywhere. 214 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. If I walk into the grove, I 215 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: feel perfectly safe. I know they don't put up with 216 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: abberate behavior there, whether it's homelessness, crime, or you know, 217 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: any any, any kind of insanity. Yeah, I want a 218 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: city like that. There's plenty of cities like that. There's 219 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: a number of cities that vi for safest city in America. 220 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: Here in southern California. You hear about the cities like 221 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: one thousand Oaks, like Irvine. They're always on the list 222 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: of safest cities. Yeah, that's where that's I like that. 223 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: I like the sound of that. I like the sound 224 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: of clean sigewalks and clean parks. Take the kids, let 225 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: the kids go on their own, not worry about it. 226 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: But that's bad. I'm sinful. I have to repent, Pastor 227 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: says again. Distinguished Professor Kresser is clearly tapped into something 228 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: because nobody wants to live like this. Nobody, nobody wants 229 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: to live like this except the homeless themselves, some of them. 230 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: Then they go to another expert. These experts kill me. 231 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: Feel Henderson, black with a capital being and homeless himself. 232 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: Oh here's this an expert is homeless himself? And get this, 233 00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: an activist in residence at the UCLA Luskin School. I'm 234 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: reading this and it says THEO Henderson is homeless himself 235 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: and an activist in residence. And what I want to know, 236 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm a peasant, I don't know these terms. 237 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: What the hell is an activist in residence? Does that 238 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: mean he has a home? Right? What does residents mean? 239 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: Residents means home? You have an address, at least a department. 240 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: So how can he be homeless and be an activist 241 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: in residence? Or do they have residences for homeless activists? 242 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: So does he actually live on the street or an 243 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: a tent or does he got a little room at 244 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: us to La? And he also has something called He's 245 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: got a podcast called We the Unhoused, We the Unhoused. 246 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: Is it sounds like a nation, doesn't it? Does he 247 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: speak for all these people? And he's quoted in this 248 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: story and he calls the Carusoe candidacy a form of 249 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: get this term, white saviorism. But why does Curuso's color matter? 250 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: White saviorism? That's nuts. Nobody wants to live like this. 251 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: People in black neighborhoods. Don't want to see this in 252 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: Latino neighborhoods, bigs neighborhoods, white neighborhoods, you name it. Most 253 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: normal people, especially if you're raising families, don't want to 254 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: see this. They don't want it. I don't understand. And 255 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: then he starts babbling about Trump. Then they talk to 256 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: Christian Irana, vice president of policy at the Latino Community Foundation. 257 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: You know, to stand I'll talk to normal residence here. 258 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: It's people with foundations, it's university professors, it's the activist 259 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: in residence, the homeless activists in a residence. But they 260 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 1: talk to her. She apparently has normal people in her 261 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: family though it's Christian Rana. Hey, sorry, he's a guy. 262 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: His father delivers carpets, his mother works in a call center. 263 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: Both Democrats, neither has ever voted for a Republican, but 264 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: both are worried about themselves in the city. They're undecided, 265 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: a leaning towards Caruso. What the closest this writer gets 266 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: to normal people is talking to the daughter of normal people. 267 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: And he's a little bit startled that they're leaning towards 268 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: Caruso because they don't want to live like this. But 269 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: if you decide you're going to talk to the activist 270 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: in residence, yes, of course this is a bad idea. 271 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: Or talk to the professor, excuse me, distinguished professor of sociology, 272 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: and he'll be critical. Try to get near a guy 273 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: who delivers carpets or somebody who works in a call center, 274 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: and they're going, wow, you know, this place is getting 275 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: really foul. Somebody's got to clean it up. It's the 276 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: normal people, the normal people against them, the elites, the 277 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: people with strange titles, the people with these strange titles 278 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: who sit in offices. Often we pay for the offices, 279 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: and they think, and they think, how terrible it is 280 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: that those unwatched peasants out there will not tolerate all 281 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: the urine and the feces and the needles, and the 282 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: crime and the crazy people. How dare we all right? 283 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: More coming up? We're coming up. In fact, we got 284 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: more on that you've aldi shooting at the school. There's 285 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: more information about the police chief and his performance. And 286 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: it says gonna startle you, John and Ken caffide and 287 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: they we're gonna recruisal on at five o'clock today, Kenna 288 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: is away. The new York Times has an investigative piece 289 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: today on the elementary school shooting in Nivaldi, Texas at 290 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: rob Elementary School, and it turns out it is true. 291 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: This little detail came out yesterday that the chief of police, 292 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: Pete Arodondo for the school district, did not have a 293 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: police radio with him, so he had trouble connecting with 294 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: police dispatchers who were getting the nine one one calls 295 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: from the kids inside. Remember the story of the girl 296 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: who called in repeatedly saying, Hey, there's eight or nine 297 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: people still alive in here, and he never got the 298 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: message because he didn't have a police radio. Now, this 299 00:20:53,200 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: story just broke and was updated black. He's updated just 300 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: minutes ago. And among the new things that I didn't 301 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: know was that the Vivaldi School District had its own 302 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: police department, and they had jurisdiction over the school, but 303 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: like primary jurisdiction, which means they were in charge of 304 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: the response. Now, the thing is, it's only a six 305 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: person force. By the end of this ruckets there were 306 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty law enforcement people there, one hundred 307 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: and forty, but there's only six from the school district 308 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: and the school district police force was in charge. So 309 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, when you're hired, when you're hired to run 310 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: a six person police force, I just probably think you're 311 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: not You're not a Hall of Fame candidate in the 312 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: National Police Hall of Fame, right, You're just a local guy. 313 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, here's here's six people. You know, 314 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: just drive around the schools all day. So it's clear 315 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: that this police chief didn't have the experience and I 316 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: don't think he had the smarts to handle situation like this, 317 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: but he was in charge because the larger forces that 318 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: eventually showed up the city of Vivaldi, the county, the 319 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: border patrol, they might have had more people and more experience, 320 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: maybe more brains, but they didn't have the jurisdiction like 321 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: he did. And he was fumbling around with with the 322 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: cell phone calling a police landline. And he's the one 323 00:22:53,359 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: who ordered his police to back off. Don't breach, is 324 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: what they were told, because the gunman had an Mr fifteen. 325 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: But he's contained, So we need more firepower, we need 326 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: the building surrounded. The thing is, no nobody would do 327 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: that breach. For quite a while, there were there were 328 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: fourteen agencies that sent officers fourteen of them. Nobody went 329 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: into the classrooms. Even though the gunfire continued sporadically. Nobody 330 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: from the fourteen agencies went into the classrooms after the 331 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: nine to eleven calls began arriving from the children. So 332 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: the children, multiple children, are making multiple calls to the 333 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: police dispatcher. They have a hundred and forty officers from 334 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: fourteen agencies and nobody went in there. This is just 335 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: not to be believed. The story gets more bizarre every day. 336 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: So a ten year old named Chloe Torres calls it 337 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: twelve ten. This is thirty seven minutes after the shooting started, 338 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: thirty seven minutes and says, there is a lot of bodies. 339 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: I don't want to die. My teacher is dead. My 340 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: teacher is dead. Please send help. Send help from my teacher. 341 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: She has stopped. She is shot but still alive. Obviously 342 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: you know she was. She was rattled, so she said, 343 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: the teacher's dead, but now she's alive. She stayed on 344 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the phone for seventeen minutes. Chloe did eleven minutes into 345 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: the call. You can hear the sound of gunfire at 346 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: twelve ten. When Chloe called, it was still forty minutes 347 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: before the police would would barge into the classroom. The 348 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: officer who finally got there were able to get a 349 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: janitor's key. They weren't even a formal tactical unit. They 350 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: were border patrol and ice agents and a sheriff's deputy. 351 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: They made up their own group because they showed up 352 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: in the hallway outside the classroom and said there appeared 353 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: to be no chain of command. One hundred and forty 354 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: law enforcement from fourteen agencies, and they said nobody seemed 355 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: to be in charge, least of all the bumbling fool Aardando. 356 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: So these five created their own unit. They were done 357 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: waiting for permission, so they finally moved towards the classroom, 358 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: and they kept going even after one of them heard 359 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: a command in their earpiece that said do not breach. 360 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: So even after even after like an hour and fifteen minutes, 361 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: you finally had five out of one hundred and forty 362 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: who said, well enough of this, there was still somebody 363 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: going no, no, no, no, we don't want to go 364 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: in there yet, like white, not enough children have been 365 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: shot to death. Yet they had local cops, state cops, 366 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: federal agency officers, state troopers, sheriff's deputies, constables, game wardens. 367 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: It was like a convention. It was like a Texas 368 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: law enforcement convention. They all were in uniform, they all 369 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: had their guns, they all had decades worth of training, 370 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: and they all stood there for an hour and fifteen 371 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: minutes until these five guys from three different agencies, Border patrol, 372 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: ice and a sheriff's deputy on their own finally decided 373 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: we're going in. And even then somebody was getting yelled 374 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: at in the earpiece not to do it. I'm I 375 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: just this is just impossible to believe, Like my my 376 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: brain is just not accepting that this actually went out. 377 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: Can you imagine having one hundred and forty people outside 378 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: your home or business there's they're shooting going on, there's 379 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: dead bodies everywhere, and all one hundred and forty decide 380 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: not to move for over an hour. Ah that's uh, 381 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: there's and there's some terrible stories here about the kids 382 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: getting shot. There's like first person uh saying I want 383 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: to read it because it's just it's just too hideous 384 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: and depressing. But yeah, you go to the New York 385 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: Times and read it on your own. More coming up, 386 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: Johnny Ken Show. This is kind of funny to play 387 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: you know the uh the formulas shortage, which isn't funny. 388 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: Uh the Actually there's a lot of a lot of 389 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: families that are freaking out because they can't get formula. 390 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's like here in southern California, 391 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: but some some states are reporting ninety percent shortages for formula. 392 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mentioned this the other day. Until till now, 393 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: I had no idea that if you don't have formula 394 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: and you're not breastfeeding anymore babies, out of luck. There's 395 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: no there's no substitute, unless there's some kind of vegan substitute. 396 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm not aware of. Nah. Well, yes, there's there's Well 397 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: when my kid was on formula with soy, yeah, so 398 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: that's that's vegan. Why why are you shaking your head? Eric? 399 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: It is vegan? What does a baby need to be vegan? 400 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: For me? It's not okay, I have to I don't 401 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: want to take up too much of your time. It 402 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: wasn't here's the deal. You never know where we're going 403 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: to do rail here. Yes, this was our pediatrician told 404 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: us to put my son on this soy formula because 405 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: his father was allergic to dairy. Oh that's different. Well, that. Well, 406 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: John asked me, unless there's vegan ones, and I just 407 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: explained it. But it wasn't because I was trying. My 408 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: kids aren't vegan. I never made them vegan, although my daughter, 409 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: my daughter, though you try, you pumped in this vegan 410 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: juice into your son early on. We're trying to No, 411 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: that's not true. News always spreading, as John uh well, 412 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: the anyway, if you haven't heard the FDA uh something. 413 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: There was a whistleblower at Abbott Laboratories in Michigan, and 414 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: they called the FDA and said, you know, there's something 415 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: funky about a production here. A few babies got very ill. 416 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: I believe two of them died, a total of four victims. 417 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: And so obviously they had to do something, and they 418 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: decided to shut down the plant. It's been shut ever since, 419 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: which may have been a wild overreaction. But the thing was, 420 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: the FDA didn't take any action for a while, and 421 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: they didn't tell old Joe uh for quite a while 422 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: after that, and the whole thing is just a complete 423 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: failure on the part of these government workers. Then is 424 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper on CNN. He's talking to the White House, 425 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: Director of the National Economic Council. Brian Diese another guy 426 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: with a long title, and does nothing productive. So Tapper 427 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: is telling Deese going through the timeline when suddenly the 428 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: camera that's on collapses. So I don't know if these 429 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: kicked the camera, legs out from under the camera or what, 430 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: but here play this clip. I don't need the FDA 431 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: to investigate itself to come to the judgment that they 432 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,239 Speaker 1: did not act quickly enough, and on behalf of all 433 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 1: the frustrated moms and dads and guardians out there, I 434 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: hope you don't either. Well, look, these are really serious 435 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: safety judgments, and you're absolutely right that people are right 436 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: to be frustrated and concerned. But when the FDA goes 437 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: to a facility and conducts an investigation, that has to 438 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: be done thoroughly and in their best scientific judgment. And 439 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: so I think it is appropriate that they look at 440 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: that timeline and understand what happened in that context. But 441 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: I also think that we need to we need to 442 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: take very seriously that whoa, whoa guy, our camera fell down. Okay, 443 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: Bryan D's thank you so much. There you go. Somebody 444 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: realized this interview was going south and they just kicked 445 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: the camera over which the thing is. What Tapper said 446 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: is I don't fully understand why you didn't tell the 447 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: president until April. If the problem was reported to the 448 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: FDA last fall, the FDA didn't check it out until December. 449 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: They shut down the factory in February. Biden doesn't hear 450 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: about it till April. Now, Avin Laboratories provides a huge 451 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: percentage of the formula in America. There's only a few 452 00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: companies that do this, and I mean they get the 453 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: call and you have to take action. I mean the 454 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: call actually came in the fall, but it took two 455 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: months for the FDA to investigate, and then two more 456 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: months before they shut the factory down, and then two 457 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: more months after that until they told Joe Biden. By 458 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: now you have the factory closed for about four months, 459 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: and Biden doesn't know I just and now and now 460 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: now you know, all hell is breaking loose. And they 461 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: claim they're going to start up factory production in a 462 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but it's only going to be a 463 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: certain kind of formula, and it's not the one that's 464 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: most widely needed, because they have regular formulas and they 465 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: have specialty formulas, and maybe they make that weird vegan 466 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: juice that never force fed on her kids. But that's 467 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: going to be part of your permanent record, I know, 468 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: and there's and there's a reason behind it. I stand 469 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: by my reasoning. So then then then the camera collapsed 470 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: and that was the end of that that interview. They 471 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: are trying to fly in formula from overseas, from Europe 472 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 1: and everywhere else. But I you know, what I wondered 473 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: is somebody called the FDA and said, hey, we've got 474 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: we've got production problems here. It could be deadly, and 475 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: it turns out it was deadly in two cases. Now, 476 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: the thing is, if you work in a government operation 477 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: and this is your job. Your job is to make 478 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: sure food production goes smoothly without killing people, and you 479 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: have a whistle or somebody within the factory letting you know, 480 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we got a problem here, and then 481 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: you actually have, you know a record of look at 482 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: these babies that have been harmed. Why don't you take 483 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: action immediately? And why don't you look it up and say, wow, 484 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: I have a laboratories is responsible for x percent here. 485 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: If we close the factory, there's going to be a 486 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: real shortage of formula, and there aren't There aren't alternatives 487 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: for most people. I mean, unless you're still are breastfeeding. 488 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: Now that all can be figured out in about a day, 489 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: don't you think that you have a problem. You may 490 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: have to shut it down you don't have an alternative. 491 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: And then nobody tells the president that the nation's babies 492 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: and there's about four million babies a year who are born, 493 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: so you potentially four million babies are gonna be without formula. 494 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: And I find it fascinating that how many government workers 495 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: were involved here, and of course we don't know their names, 496 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: and nobody's going to get fired and nobody's going to 497 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: be forced to explain themselves. But they set out some 498 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: dumb clock economic advisor to talk to Jake Tapper, who 499 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: you know clearly is on the defensive and has to 500 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: take the bullet for every other incompetent boob in the government. 501 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: But what do these people do all day? I don't 502 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: know how many times a day I have that. I 503 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: have that question whenever news stories pop up like this, 504 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 1: and I thought, well, what do they do all day? 505 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: What goes on in most offices? Sometimes I look at 506 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: tall office buildings, they go what's going on there today. 507 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: Is anybody working, Is anybody doing the right thing? Nobody, 508 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: nobody cares, just just taking up space. And then you've 509 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: got and then you got to control freaks back because 510 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: there's some minor increase in this virus spread. And of 511 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: course this virus, I mean I know quite a few 512 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: people who have gotten this version of the virus. And 513 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, a pain in the ass for what 514 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: eric you had it? What a week? Yeah, I mean 515 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: it was like symptomatic, like three and a half days, 516 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: and then I just kept testing positive about further. Nothing 517 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: nothing scary though. No, I felt like a cold plus 518 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: a fever for a couple of days. Okay, you know, 519 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: but millions of people get anyway, even if this didn't exist. Yeah, 520 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: it didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. Well now 521 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: at Alameda County in Alameda County up in northern California 522 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: has always been one of the nuttiest. They have now 523 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: imposed the dreaded indoor mask rule offices, stores, theaters, conference centers, restaurants, 524 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: and bars.

You 530 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: have to make efforts to ensure compliance. You have to 531 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: put your obedience mask on and you will comply. They're 532 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: not going to bother the kids in school because school's 533 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: almost over and they don't want that fight.

You don't have 536 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: to wear a mask while you swim. This is just oh, 537 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: and this is helpful. Children younger than two must not 538 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: mask because of the risk of suffocation. I hadn't even 539 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: thought of that.
