Put up there right after we finish up 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: about four o'clock looking at the snow totals running Springs 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: twelve feet, Big Bear Lake eleven feet, Lake Arrow had 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: a little over nine feet. Over the weekend, there were 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: more news conferences about the tough situation at the San 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: Berardino Mountain community people are having with trying to dig 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: out from the snow falls that occurred over the last 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They admitted that they only knew twenty 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: four to thirty six hours beforehand that there was a 16 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: strong potential it was going to be this much snow, 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: and they didn't think, well, they would not have been 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: able to see the necessary equipment on such short notice 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: to start digging these people out faster. We're gonna go 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: for an update now. I'm the whole story up there 21 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: with Blake Trolley Cafe Ie News. So Blake, just to 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: follow up on that story, are they saying that they'll 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: they since they don't have the equipment, they would never 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: be prepared for something like that, even if they had 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: some more time. It just doesn't exist all that equipment. Actually, 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: what Ken was quoting there was directly an answer to 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: my question at the last press conference, because on Thursday 28 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: they gave the press conference Friday night. Friday night. On 29 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Thursday night, they did, you know, val that they would 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: do things differently. So on Friday morning, when we went 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: to the press conference, I had asked them what does 32 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: that look like? And I had asked them, you know, 33 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: if they were disappointed in their response, and essentially they 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: did say that they would alter their response to get 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: resources faster that you know, there were other things that 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: they mentioned, like the fact that you know, they can't 37 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: predict the weather, and uh, you know, at one point 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: they talked about the fact that some people weren't actually 39 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: prepared enough for any sort of disaster. But again, you know, 40 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: people up in the mountain communities feel like they've been 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: really let down. A lot of people I've spoken with, 42 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: I've told me they're you know, very disappointed in this response, Guys, 43 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: just recently we got an update that eighty five percent 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: of county roads are passable throughout the mountains. In the 45 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: heart Hit Lake, Arrowhead and Crest Line area, that number 46 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: drops to more than sixty percent. That was in the 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: last detailed update of Assuming that numbers come up a 48 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: little bit, we'll be checking on that. Now. Passable doesn't 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: mean these roads are wide open, but rather that at 50 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: least one lane is open with less than eight inches 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: of snow and can be driven driven on by a 52 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: four wheel drive car with chains. State, County and private 53 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: crews have been working around the clock to clear these roads. 54 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: Private crews, I believe, were able to really ramp up 55 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: over the weekend. One of the challenges that they had 56 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: when they brought in these private companies is that these 57 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: companies weren't outfitted with chains, so they had to actually 58 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: order chains from the East Coast and have those shipped. 59 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: Those arrived over the weekend, and today's officials tell me 60 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out how to potentially open the 61 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: highways leading up to the mountains for residents only. The issue, 62 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: as it's been described to me as the highways are 63 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: in good shape, but as you get into those vany 64 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: residential areas, it's hectic, it's icy. We talked about the 65 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: helicopter tour we did on Friday. That's exactly what it 66 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: looked like. You get off that highway and it really 67 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: starts to lock up again. They say, with one lane 68 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: passable two cars. So again, these passable roads are mostly 69 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: one lane. So when you have two cars going the 70 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: same direction, that causes these big pile up delays. Any 71 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: sort of fender bender causes delays. Cars are breaking down, 72 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: their chains are breaking, that's causing a mess. So the 73 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: question officials say they're asking is how do we make 74 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: sure it's only locals going up so we don't create 75 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: a big mess up there. But just in general, guys, 76 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: the plowing is still causing issues for people. This man 77 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: in Cedar Pines Park says he's stuck at his home 78 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 1: just from the snow being moved. Snowplows that come through 79 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: push the snow to the side of the road and 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: it creates a large mound that then freezes. And somebody 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: who's sixty four years old like I am, I'm not 82 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: going to be able to get out there and chip 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: away at a four foot deep wall of ice and 84 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: the guys that the county tells me hand crews are 85 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: trying to break these walls down. But that really begs 86 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: the question is there enough help right now in the mountains? 87 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 1: Should there be the manpower to break up these snow 88 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: mounds in, you know, in people's driveways so that after 89 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: this snow has moved, they're able to get people out. 90 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: And you know, in this interview, that same man told 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: me that about some supply chain challenges he's facing. He says, 92 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: people he knows, including himself, are going to these distribution 93 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: sites we've heard about, and supplies are out before they 94 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: even get there. And it sounds like other people are 95 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: having challenges as well. Who's in charge of the supplies here? 96 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: Who is bringing the food in? Is this a state operations? 97 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: It's yeah, So the county is bringing supplies in. There's 98 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: private donations. The county is bringing a lot of supplies in. 99 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: They've got a donation line set up. There's private you know, 100 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: donated supplies that are also going up. But still it's 101 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: not keeping up, you know, with the amount of people there. 102 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: As they're explaining to me, and I want to go 103 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: to this woman, she went down the mountain herself to 104 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: get supplies. She says. You know, her family was running 105 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: out of food, so she says, HP officers told her 106 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: she could go down and pick up groceries and that 107 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: she'd be able to get back up. This was last week. 108 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: She says. She went down the mountain loaded up, and 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: when she went to head back up the mountain, they 110 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: won't let her back up. Trunk full of groceries. You 111 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: got some waiting for you at the store. What's the 112 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: situation right now? At my house? They have nothing there. 113 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: They're going through cabinet's like you're looking for anything find. 114 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: My husband says he's sharing the cat food with the cat. 115 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: I told him don't eat the cat though. But yeah, 116 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: there's there's no groceries left in the house. I'm being 117 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: told somebody I know in Cedar Pines Park told me 118 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: that the sense of desperation up there seems to be growing. 119 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: Would you agree with that statement. I do agree with that. 120 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're going day by day, and my 121 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: husband's getting frustrated, you know, more and more. And um, 122 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: he's an older gentleman and he can't get out and 123 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: do things like you used to do, and stuff and 124 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: My granddaughter's out there now trying to dig a car out, 125 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: so maybe she can get some groceries or something. I 126 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: don't know, but that's her by herself doing it. It's hard, 127 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: and so how frustrating is that for you to know? 128 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: I mean, this's got to be hard. Your families up there, 129 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: they're running out of food. You have food down here, 130 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: but you have no access. They're not allowing you to 131 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: access back into that area exactly. And it breaks my 132 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: heart because I think of them more than I do anything, 133 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: and I can't get the food to them. You know, 134 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: it's it's here in my car. I have no way 135 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: to get it up there, and I'm sitting here with 136 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: all of it, and I just I don't know the 137 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: answer to it. Well, why wouldn't they let her up 138 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: with her food? They let her down? Why can't she 139 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 1: take the same path up exactly? On cat food? What's 140 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: wrong with the law enforcement there? It's a really you know, 141 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions there, right. I mean, she's 142 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: got a car full of groceries, and again, as it 143 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: was described to me, they're trying to figure out how 144 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: to let locals go back. What does that mean? Try 145 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: to figure out how there's a path there, right, and 146 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: she came down it, So why can't she now go 147 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: up the way she came Because you said eighty five 148 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: percent of the roads you're clear, So how what's to 149 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: figure out? Check her? I d look to see that 150 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: she's got a lot of groceries, let her tell her story, 151 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: and then let her up. I don't think she's there 152 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: to loot the place. There are a lot of questions 153 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: right now, John about why that's taking place, And she 154 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: says she's not alone. Other people are are, you know, 155 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: describing the same situation. I've been told that on three 156 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: thirty because people have figured out about this, they're parking 157 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: on the other side of the HP closure. Some people 158 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: are parking on the other side and they're actually walking 159 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: down to pick up groceries and bring them back up. 160 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: So trust me, I have the same questions as you. 161 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 1: Why isn't she allowed back up? Who's in charge there? 162 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: So that would be so that's a question for CHP. 163 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: And I'm working to figure out exactly what's happening. But 164 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: as it was described to me, like who does a 165 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: woman like that appeal to? Who's making those decisions beyond 166 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, the dub cluck at the gate. Who's not 167 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: allowing anybody up? I mean, who's above him, who's the supervisor? 168 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: And I don't understand any of this. It's a certainly 169 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: a hard you know, it's a really hard story to 170 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: follow in a lot of ways. And this is why, 171 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: because we hear these these stories and we don't really 172 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: understand exactly why or why these decisions are being made. Again, 173 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: what was described to me today is we don't want 174 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: to just open the floodgates, allow a bunch of people 175 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: to go up there and gridlock the roads that are 176 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: already having challenges. But your question asked, too, will you 177 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: let her down? She was able to get down, why 178 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: isn't she allowed to go back? That's my question as well. 179 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: You could let them one at a time, or give 180 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: them an escort. But if she's an older lady with 181 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: a car full of groceries and a husband eating cat food, 182 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: she gets to go up. And then you take the 183 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: next case and the next case, and you see a 184 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: bunch of kids with snowboards. All right, maybe you don't 185 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: lead them up, but you and you've got to make 186 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: some decisions here. And I should say this, you know, 187 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: you know, I spoke to one official about this and 188 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: she said, you know, it could have been officer air 189 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: that the officer told her something. You know that essentially 190 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have told her. But regardless, that's bad communication 191 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: and that put her, you know, in this situation. So, um, 192 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: she's frustrated. And there's a lot of people that are 193 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: frustrated right now with the situation, trying to get down 194 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: the mountain get their supplies, and you know, John, it 195 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: leaves me and a lot of people with questions as 196 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: to what exactly is going on. And that's another thing, 197 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, guys, just as a point of contention that 198 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: people are talking about is you know the snow. The 199 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: thick of this snow has been you know, it came 200 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: down quite a while ago. You know, at this point 201 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: in time, people up there are starting to feel like 202 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: there should be a lot more movement by now. It's 203 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: like over ten days, isn't it. Well, I think the no, 204 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: the thick of the snow would have been about a 205 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: week ago because as they had that, remember they had 206 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: that other storm that came through the second story. Yeah 207 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: it was, but the first storm came through almost two 208 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Yeah, it's like twelve days. Well, they should 209 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: have been able to get it together, you know, before 210 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: that first storm. I mean, it's been two full weeks 211 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: to get it together, and it seems like they're not, 212 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, And that's where I really wonder about manpower. 213 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: Was enough manpower sent to this, because even if you know, 214 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: you talk about these roads being closed, you can't let 215 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: people go back up the mountain because you don't want 216 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: the roads to gridlock. I think people might also feel like, well, 217 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't it the roads be at a point by now 218 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: where we can allow locals to go up or allow 219 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: people to go up given that much time. All right, 220 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: Well lucky it's not still snowing. All right, thank you 221 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: very much. Blake. All right, guys, Blake Trolley camf I 222 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: News covering the people up in the Sandbard, you know, 223 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: mountain communities and the road deal with the big snow. 224 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: John and Ken kf I AM six forty Live everywhere 225 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to John and Ken on 226 00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: demand from kf I AM sixty making news this afternoon. 227 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: The name that might be familiar to many people because 228 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: he used to be Channel four his chief on air 229 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: medical correspondent, Doctor Bruce Hensel pled guilty today to no 230 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: contest to one count of soliciting a minor with the 231 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: intent to commit a crime. He was apparently texting a 232 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: nine year old girl for nude photos. Oh well that 233 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: was in twenty nineteen. Yeah, I know, but I'd forgotten 234 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: about that case and I forgot out that she was 235 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: the daughter of an acquaintance. It's not a stranger. And 236 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: he was a big deal on Channel four for years. 237 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: Many he's seventy four years old. Yeah, he's not a 238 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: long time medical expert. It might surprise you a bit. 239 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: He's getting probation. No, and he hugged the father inside 240 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 1: of downtown courtroom. What's that about. But he's getting sex 241 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: offender status. So yeah, but shouldn't he shouldn't the guy 242 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: be locked up because he did this. He did this 243 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: just three years ago. Correct. He took full responsibility for 244 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: the conduct. So father was in court and related that 245 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: the family was aware of the extensive treatment he was 246 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: undergone since the incident, and they forgive him what treatment. 247 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: The family expressed hope he could prosper and care for 248 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: people in their future as he has as a physician before. 249 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: There's no treatment for that this is crazy land. You 250 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: can't treat what you get sexually aroused over. You're stuck 251 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: with that til you're dead. It doesn't matter what it is. 252 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: The texts were pretty clear that he wanted to see 253 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: what nudies of this little girl. Oh now, Oh, he 254 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: should be locked up. Guys like that are to be 255 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: locked up area. There's no debate on this. You can't 256 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: fix that. In the very southwest corner of Texas as 257 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: a town called Brownsville. Right across the border in the 258 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: country of Mexico is a place called Matamoros. You may 259 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: have heard today that gunmen kidnapped for US citizens who 260 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: crossed into Mexico from Texas. Has actually happened last week. 261 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: They were allegedly there to buy medicine. I'm hearing today 262 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: that there was a case of mistaken identity by those 263 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: who attacked them and abducted them, but I don't have 264 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: an update that they've been found yet. They were in 265 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: a white minivan with North Carolina license plate. They entered 266 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: the city of Matamoros from Brownsville. All four Americans were 267 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by 268 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: armed men. The FBI is offering fifty thousand dollars for 269 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: the victim's return and the arrest of the kidnappers. This 270 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: even quoted. The Mexican President actually had something to say 271 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: on this. He claims they were going to buy medicine 272 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: and they were confronted a confrontation between groups, and they 273 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: were detained by the other group. It's kind of a 274 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: strange story. Nervous would you be driving into a Mexican 275 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: border town. I would be really scared. I would never 276 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: even consider doing that, especially especially there's many areas in 277 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: Mexico that the US has sent out travel warnings don't 278 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 1: go there. Yeah. In fact, that's just come out for 279 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: all the state departments had one out. But now that 280 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: spring break is coming, it's advising people that there were 281 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: certain sections of the country you should not travel to 282 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: because it might not be safe considering the upheaval that's 283 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: constantly going on there with the drug cartels and the 284 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: government fighting constantly. Yeah, says here. Mattamorros is notorious for 285 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: warring factions of the Gulf drug cartel, and the violence 286 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: has been so bad that the US consulate has issued 287 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: an alert following the kidnapping. Wow, that is such a 288 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: dangerous country. Says here that, oh, this was considered a 289 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: place to go to called the Two Nation vacations. Spring 290 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: Breakers would flock to Texas's South Padre Island and then 291 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: head Elvitamuta, Morros for the Two Nations vacation. You get it. Yeah, 292 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: that in the last ten or fifteen years, it's gotten 293 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: more violent there and it's scared away a lot of people. 294 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: That region. It's called Tamilpas. It's one of the states 295 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: in Mexico. The US State Department issued a Level four 296 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: do not travel advisory all right, and what they're warning 297 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: about is crime and kidnapping because they target public and 298 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: private buses, private automobiles. They often take passengers, demand ransom payments. Well, 299 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: who needs that in a vacation. And we still don't 300 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: know any update on the public defender from Orange County, 301 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: Elliott Blair, who was found dead in January and Rosa 302 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: Rito when he went out to celebrate this one year 303 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: wedding anniversary with his wife, and again Mexican officials were 304 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: saying he fell from a balcony, probably was drunk. Now 305 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: the family says they don't believe that, particularly the injuries 306 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: forty fractures to the back, of his skull like he 307 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: had been beaten. Now Mexican law Enforcene killed him. That's 308 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: the contention of the family. And again the only backup 309 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: to that they had is that they were stopped earlier 310 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: in the evening and they were basically begin shook down 311 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: for money for some sort of you know, quote traffic violation, 312 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: and I guess they didn't have enough. They see that 313 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: all that stuff is scary. I mean whenever somebody you know, 314 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: in the family or friends suggest, oh, well, you know, 315 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: let's let's go to Mexico. I mean outside of you know, 316 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: some of the resort areas, and even those areas are 317 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: getting questionable because you have to get to the resort. 318 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Once you get inside the resort, you might be safe, 319 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: but on your way in, you've got to you've got 320 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: to drive there. And they're targeting buses too. They don't 321 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: even leave the tourist alone anymore. Oh I love this. 322 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: Victims of violence in Matamorros and other large border cities 323 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: go uncounted because the cartels have a history of taking 324 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: the bodies of their own with them. So I was 325 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: counted in the and there's not going to be any 326 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: witnesses who were going to talk like that, that public defender. 327 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: His wife's had a luck. No, one's every good. It's 328 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: probably so, you know, what are you gonna do if 329 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: the police are all corrupted, Mexican government's corrupted, and everyone's 330 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: afraid to speak because they'll get shot in the head next. 331 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: I mean, she knows what happened. They're never going to 332 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: catch the perpetrator. That's just you can't go there. Oh, 333 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: speaking to Mexico, we did learn this afternoon that that's 334 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: where the Nwsomans went. They went to Cabbo. Remember he 335 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: left the stay just came back yesterday, didn't. They go 336 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: to Mexico a year or two ago, and somebody snapped 337 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: photos that they were staying at some villa, but that 338 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: was never it was never definitively proven. Well it was 339 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: them in the photos, No, it was the Nustmans claimed 340 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: though we didn't stay in that villa. We were just 341 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: at a nearby hotel. The contention was he was staying 342 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: in this rich person's villa, and yeah, sure, as I 343 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: think denied that they were. They didn't deny they're on 344 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: the beach. But yeah, well I don't believe they're denials. Yeah, 345 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: well they'll deny, you're denials. He lies about a lot 346 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: of things. So this is why he wouldn't talk about 347 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: where they were vacationing, because they didn't want photographers to 348 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: pick up him Lyne on the beach. Yeah maybe in 349 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: his creamy They tell you after they come back. Oh yeah, 350 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: we were in Cobbo. Yeah. Meantime, people have nine feet 351 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: of snow dumped on their head in Lake Arrowhead and 352 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: the state isn't providing enough help to get them out 353 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: while this guy is sonning his milky white body. When 354 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: we come back, we'll hear from Newsom's chief governor rival. 355 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: That's Ron DeSantis, who made a visit to the Ronald 356 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: Reagan Library in Cbe Valley.

Yeah, 370 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: you go to KFIM sixty dot com or use the 371 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: iHeart radio app. Well, we're still a ways away from 372 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: people actually voting for the next round the presidential candidates. 373 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Of course, next year brings us the primaries and the 374 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: cockuses and all that crap, but we're getting to the 375 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: time in the next few months or anybody that seriously 376 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: wants to run for president probably has to get in 377 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: there because you got to do fundraising and organizing and 378 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: all that stuff lining everything up. We had a visit 379 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: from someone who's not in the race offici yet, but 380 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: most expect he will be the Florida Governor Ron de Santis, 381 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: and of course he's been engaging in a back and 382 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: forth with dippity Doo California Governor Newsome going back to 383 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: last year and the year before, comparing the two states 384 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: over the lockdowns and many other issues. As you know, 385 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: Newsom actually took out advertising in Florida to try to 386 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: make the point that California is a freer state, which 387 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: is weird. Yeah, he does really silly stuff he does. 388 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: It's kind of juvenile and it is right. It's like, look, 389 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: we're freer than you are. Say what are you talking about? 390 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: But I think he thought it was brilliant because it 391 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: was a very small media buy, but he got lots 392 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: of media attention. You see that. I only spent a 393 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: small amount of money actually running ad in Florida, but 394 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: everybody did the story. Every public figure who does stupid 395 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: things thinks that they're doing something brilliant. So self awareness 396 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: is you don't find in most public figures what you 397 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: just have to look at the actual facts of the case. 398 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: And clearly, Florida is a far better place to live. 399 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: I've visited enough. It is a better place to live. 400 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: They hear and yes, time government structure and write the rules, 401 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: and well yeah they didn't. They didn't lock down the 402 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: schools for a year and a half, and they didn't 403 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: have these uh mask and vaccine mandates, and they have 404 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: far lower taxes and they have a far lower standard 405 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: of living. I mean, you could buy a house, a 406 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: nice house, for not an insane amount of money. Although 407 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: that's changing. We heard that some of the wealthy are 408 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: starting to migrate there and buy up properties in something 409 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: it's it's definitely driving up prices, but they're building homes there. 410 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: They don't have all these artificial restrictions and regulations. They're 411 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: they're building up as fast as they can. So DeSantis 412 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 1: was at the Ronald Reagan Library and Cebe Valley yesterday. 413 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: We'll start with this clip taking a shot at Newsom. Hello, California. 414 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,719 Speaker 1: I know you guys got a lot of problems out here, 415 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: but your governor's very concerned about what we're doing in Florida, 416 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: so I figured I had to come by. Yeah. Now 417 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: we'll play the second clip where he gets into the 418 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: core of his message and I guess his candidacy dealing 419 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: with the woke left. We also reject some of the 420 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: terrible legislative reforms that have been enacted in various states 421 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: across this country. Some have released violent people from prison prematurely. 422 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: Others have done things like New York abolish cash bail, 423 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: so you'll have a police officer risk their lives to 424 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: apprehend somebody, bring them in, the judge releases them, and 425 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: then two weeks later that person's committed another offense and 426 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: the cops got to risk his life again to apprehend 427 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: the same person that should have never been on the 428 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: street to begin with. You have seen that experiment and 429 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: a ball mooshing cash bail fail throughout this country and 430 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: in Florida, we're not tolerating it and not going to 431 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: allow it to happen. And what's made it even worse, 432 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: as we've seen in city after city, including LA and 433 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: San Francisco, prosecutors, progressive so called prosecutors elected usually with 434 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: large campaign contributions from people like George Soros, and they 435 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: get elected saying they are going to pursue not the 436 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: public safety, but what they consider to be social justice. 437 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: And so what they do is they will identify laws 438 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: that they disagree with and they will simply refuse to 439 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: enforce those laws. I had a fellow from San Francisco 440 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: tell me he had someone break into his home. Cops 441 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: come out, they say, you're not going to file a 442 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: report on this or He's like, of course i am. 443 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: They broke into my home and they're like, well, they're 444 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: never going to bring charges on this. And I'm thinking 445 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: to myself, someone can break into your home and they 446 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: won't prosecute no wonder. The city's been hollowed out. And 447 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: so if you are a prosecutor and you think you 448 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: don't like certain laws, the appropriate recourse is to resign 449 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: your position, run for the legislature, and then try to 450 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: change the laws. But you are not a law unto 451 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: yourself as a prosecutor. And that's kind of like Gascon 452 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: is done with his director, And why can't we have 453 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: one legislator say that out loud and then follow through 454 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: on it. If I remember correctly, DeSantis has gotten rid 455 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: of one particular DA who is not following the law. 456 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Gascon's not following the law. He should be. 457 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: I know, the Attorney General could could sideline him in 458 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: some way, Rob Banta can do that. They're threatened to 459 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: do that in New York State as well. The Governor 460 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: of New York threatened to do it to the Manhattan 461 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: DA who because you're not so you're not legally supposed 462 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: to refuse to enforce the law if you're the district 463 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: Attorney's that that that's crazy stuff. In fact, the New 464 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: York City Mayor Eric Adams says, there's two thousand people 465 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: who repeatedly catch, release, and repeat in crimes. Two thousand people. 466 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: That's all you got to get off the streets in 467 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: New York City. And what do we talk about leading 468 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: off the show today? The guy that was involved in 469 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: the carjacking of the wild Chase on Friday, long criminal history. 470 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: Don't tell me he wouldn't still be in prison if 471 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: we didn't change all these laws and reduce all these 472 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: charges that we we've been doing. It's kind of what 473 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: the Santis was talking about. Do same people question this 474 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: stuff anymore? Where you just kind of go along, Well, 475 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: how could you possibly possibly have a policy that lets 476 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: people go free immediately after they commit the crime, no prosecution, 477 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: no jail time. I'm no arrested a lot of cases. 478 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Why do you want this? Here our here's our last 479 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: clip from DeSantis. And so it's ideology run amuck. That's 480 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: why the quality of life has declined in places like 481 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: San Francisco and New York City and Philadelphia and Chicago. 482 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: It's all rooted in that and that woke ideology rejects 483 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: the core foundationable principles that have made this country great. 484 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: So in Florida we say very clearly, we will never 485 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: ever surrender to the woke mob. Our state is where 486 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: woke goes to die, and there you go. Here, woke 487 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: is the state religion. Here, criminals are embraced by the governor, 488 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: by the legislature, by the district attorney, by the mayor 489 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: and the city council. None of them have anything bad 490 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: to say about a single criminal. Ever, no matter how 491 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: many hanous stories hit the news, do you notice you 492 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: never see any of them say anything negative about the criminal. Never. 493 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: They never say anything about how crazy it is that 494 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: the guy was on the street like that, what happened 495 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: Friday with this wild chase. Right, he's got a long 496 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: criminal history. Nobody wants to explain the details of the 497 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: criminal history. But not one politician said, you know what, 498 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: somebody made. It made a huge error here and it's 499 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: got to stop. Nobody nobody else saying that out loud. Well, 500 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: they never. It's just like they don't hold the homeless responsible. 501 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: It's always the fault of society that someone's talking to crime. 502 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a it's garbage thinking. It's of course 503 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: it is. It's absolutely absurd thinking. And I know what 504 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: it is all based on race, because then you get 505 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: a disproportionate amount of people of color in prison. And 506 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: I am everybody with a brain in their heads would say, no, 507 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: you don't look at the color. You look at what 508 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: they did. Look at what they did. If they did it, 509 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: they go to prison. It doesn't matter what color they are. 510 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: But somehow they inverted the entire justice stem over this 511 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: idea that you have to bean count the races, the 512 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: racial representation inside a prison. I'm like, no, you don't. 513 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: The only people in there are supposed to be guilty people. There. 514 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: Of course, were protesters who showed up yesterday outside the 515 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan Library. One of them spray painted de fascist 516 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: for another one called them to satan. Yeah, I know, 517 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: that's the new cool term. They think they're being right, Yeah, 518 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: that's that's the same crowd. They're always going to show up. 519 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: They're always gonna have their clever little little nicknames. I mean, 520 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: I saw a few of these people on TV. I 521 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: don't even know why they covered them. I mean, just 522 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: just sad looking, sad looking dirty hippies is what they were. 523 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up, John and Ken 524 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: kf I AM six forty Live everywhere the iHeart Radio app. 525 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from kf 526 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: I M sixty. I got to admit this time in 527 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: El Segund Times columnist hit on something when writing about 528 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: the homeless and the homeless that are in the RVs. 529 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: And we're talking about one big place, the Bologna Wetlands 530 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: on the west side, in the area of Marina del 531 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: Rey Or there's been an effort to try to get 532 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: them out of there. There's, of course that complete sort 533 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: of unincorporated area in southern Los Angeles County you mentioned 534 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: last week with like five hundred people living in RV's, 535 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: But because there's really no organized government there and not 536 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: as many neighbors or at least more well to do neighbors, 537 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: there isn't as big an uproar over it. But anyway, 538 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: the epiphany that this writer hit on it we'll talk 539 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: about it after three o'clock, is that the RV people 540 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: don't believe they're homeless. That's the problem. They don't consider 541 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: themselves homeless. We'll talk about the aspects of that after 542 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: the news at three o'clock on the John and Ken Show. 543 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: Here's another whopper from old Joe Biden. They do this 544 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: every year. They go to Selma, Alabama to sort of 545 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: relive the civil rights movement and make a speech. It's 546 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: the fifty eighth anniversary of the Bloody Sunday March, part 547 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: of the nineteen sixty civil rights movement. It's just what 548 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: the Democrat precedents do. But here's part of what he 549 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: said that got some attention. I was a student up 550 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: north in the civil rights movement. I remember feeling how 551 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: guilty I was. I wasn't here. How can we all 552 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: be up there and you going through what you went through? 553 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: Look on those I can still picture, and still picture 554 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: the troopers of the batons and wands and whips. I 555 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: can still picture. He's a lying said this kind of 556 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: thing before, how he was involved in a movement. He 557 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: was never, never marching in a civil rights movement. He 558 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: was never doing that. There is no historical evidence to 559 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: ever support Biden's claim. Now, what he said yesterday was 560 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: just well, he was sort of a commisserate as a 561 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: student up north. What is that commiserating? I made up 562 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: that word just to use it as well. He didn't 563 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: say that, I just but you could get that in 564 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: a speech he was making that he's said as he 565 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: is a total phony. He's done this many times. Well, 566 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: apparently in nineteen eighty three he actually claimed that he 567 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: did participate in sit in protests to desegregate public spaces. 568 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: When I was seventeen, I participated in sit ins to 569 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: disegregate restaurants in movie houses. My stomach turned hearing the 570 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: voices of Fabus and Wallace, my sole raged and seeing 571 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: Bull Connor and his dogs. And he's referring to some 572 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 1: Birmingham officials. Well, he was a senator in nineteen George Wallace, 573 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: he's talking about he was a senator in nineteen eighty three, 574 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: So where's the proof of that? That would have been 575 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: in the news. He also claimed since the eighties that 576 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: he walked out of a restaurant as a high school 577 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: student because a black student wasn't welcome there. But the 578 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: former student actually came forward and said, no white people 579 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: stood up for me. It didn't happen. He's you know 580 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna happen. In nineteen eighty seven, this he said 581 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: he was only sixteen back in the sixties, and he 582 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: told this story in the nine nineteen eighty seven to 583 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Inquirer, he's a compulsive byes guy because he 584 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: knows it's it's hard to prove or disprove anything. I mean, 585 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: anybody can do that, right, We could all say we 586 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: were part of some civil rights movement and has anybody 587 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: going to know? All? Right? I mean, I mean people 588 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: lying their resumes all the time, that they constantly puff 589 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: up their their their accomplish schmidts or their history. It's 590 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: it's it's easy to do. And and he he just 591 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: doesn't care. He doesn't care how many times he's caught lying. 592 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: He just goes out and does it again. Anyway. Now, yea. 593 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: On another political note, it apparently has been revealed that 594 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: the then president of CNN, Jeff's Zucker, told staffers don't 595 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: investigate this lab leak theory when it comes to the 596 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: origins of COVID nineteen because quote, that's just the Trump 597 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: talking point. So this is how you should understand how 598 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: coverage really works in the real world today, that these 599 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: news directors and news editors and assignment editors don't want 600 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: certain things, whether they're true or not, covered because it 601 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: lays credence to the opposition. Yeah. So now, you know, 602 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: we have within just this month, you've got all the 603 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: reports coming out of Fox that they intentionally spread Trump's 604 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: election lies because they didn't want to lose audience. Much 605 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: of their audience believed the twenty twenty election was fraudulent, 606 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: so they put on the parade of lunatics like Rudy 607 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: Giulianidi Rudy Giuliani to make that case. And some of 608 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: the hosts agreed with the crazy people, and some of 609 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: them just allowed the crazies to talk endlessly right now 610 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: here you have CNN. That is one way to distort 611 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: the news, just by the outright lie or allows someone 612 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: else to lie on your air. The other way to 613 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: distort it is to not cover something, all right, domitt 614 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: it right? And this is interesting because I saw this 615 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: talking point phrase used over the weekend on CNN. Dana 616 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: Bash was interviewing Eric Adams, the New York mayor. We'd 617 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: mentioned this a few minutes ago, and Eric Adams was 618 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: talking about these ridiculous laws leads to high crime, saying 619 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 1: people committing crimes over and over again, and she said, 620 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: aren't you just feeding into her Republican talking point that 621 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: the cities are unsafe? Well, this yeah, this is the 622 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: same thing. Someone can say something that's true and the 623 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: response is, well, that's a Republican talking point, that's a 624 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: Trump talking point. Aren't you feeding into that? So you 625 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: can never make a true statement if it's critical of 626 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: the party in power. Well, that's just the opposition talking point. 627 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: That's nonsense. And this is what you get from CNN 628 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: both in this trunk case and apparently the New York 629 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: Times did this, MSNBC did this. Yeah, they all were 630 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: leading a parade of trying to debunk the idea of 631 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: a COVID being a lab lead because oh, it's just 632 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: racist to say that, and it's a talking point for 633 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: our opposition, And they made up a fake racism charge 634 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 1: because they know that would intimidate people. This is why 635 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: you have so many progressives in the media now and 636 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: they know the playbook. Well, you're not speaking truth, you're 637 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: just using a Trump talking point. The same time with 638 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: the hunter Biden laptop, Oh, don't go with that story 639 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: because that just feeds the opposition that can't give that 640 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: any credence. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. 641 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: We're not even going to investigate it. So this super 642 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: ass will just say it's probably disinformation. That's a great line. 643 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: They'd like to use a disinformation campaign. Right, So CNN 644 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: is like Pravda in Russia. They don't tell the truth. 645 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: The truth is that the virus came from that Chinese 646 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: lab and they wouldn't it or even talk about it. 647 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: This was fascinating is they went beyond denying it or 648 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: not investigating it, but they worked actively to shut down discussion. 649 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: Where if you brought it up. There was this media 650 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: critic called Oliver Darcy and he worked at CNN, and 651 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: I guess he was the designated stooge to say that, well, 652 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 1: this is a debunked theory. Well, who debunked it? You? 653 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: They declared things debunked before they've even been investigated. All right, 654 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,240 Speaker 1: When we returned, we'll once again talk about the vagrants. 655 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: This collection of vagrants are the ones that live in 656 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: their RVs who do not consider themselves homeless. Well, we'll 657 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: see if we can make any sense out of that. 658 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: John and Ken caf I Am six forty Live Everywhere, 659 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app and Debra Mark Live in the twenty 660 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: four hour cafin Newsroom.
