Speaker 2: John Cobelt Radio. All right, I explained. I set this

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: up right before the Devers two o'clock news. Julie Sue,

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Good lord, you can't lose this parasite. Julie Sue was

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom Secretary of Labor during COVID, and she's the

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: one who gave away thirty three billion dollars to fraudsters,

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: I mean criminals, international crime gangs. You remember, even Scott

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: Peterson got a check yessive criminal operation infiltrated the California

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: system and honestly got thirty three billion dollars. It's so

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: bad that we haven't paid off at twenty billion dollar

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: loan that we owe the federal government. Julie Sue is

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: in charge of the department the whole time, and she

22
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: did nothing about the fraud. Everybody was yelling at her,

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: and she wouldn't do anything. So of course she gets

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: to be the federal Acting Secretary of Labor under Biden.

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: Now she's in a position to lobby for the rest

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: of the country's taxpayers to bail out her mess she

27
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: left behind in California. Yeah, she wants everybody else to

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: pay the thirty three billion dollars that we lost because

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: she allowed so much fraud. Let's get we'll swam on.

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: How are you will?

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: I'm good, John, Thanks for having me in.

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about this a few weeks ago. You

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: alerted us to what was going on here. What has

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: this progressed since then? I mean, what is the state

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: of relations between Julie Sue the Biden administration in Congress,

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: which is starting to rebel against this.

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: Well, short, the short of it is on the Biden administration.

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: Joe Biden continues to talk about how honored he is

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: to have her work for him. This is what we

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: would expect from Joe Biden. Who may not know who

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: Julie Sue is. On the congressional side, however, she started

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: to run into some real resistance, some very difficult questioning from,

43
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: among others, House representative. You've got over there, Michelle Steele,

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: who's out of Orange County. He picked up this story

45
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: and grilled Sue in a hearing in the House, and

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: Sue had no great answers for her, and Michelle Steele

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: promised to not let this thing go. It moved immediately

48
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: over to the Senate side, where the Senate Finance Committee

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: has issued a letter asking her to answer several difficult

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: questions about how she let this happen, Why she appeared

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: now as you and I discussed a couple of weeks ago,

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: why she appears now uniquely ready to let California off

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: the hook on this lots here to unpack, But the

54
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: bottom line is she's lost a lot of federal money,

55
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 3: and the federal government wants to know what happened to

56
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: the money. When can we expect to see this money back?

57
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 3: And Julius Sue doesn't really have answers.

58
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: Well, everybody was aware of the fraud happening in real time,

59
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: and she wouldn't do anything to clamp down on it.

60
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: It was just no response.

61
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: If I'm remembering that, yeah, you are. In fact, her

62
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: earliest explanations were that to do anything to stiffen the

63
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: requirements for people to qualify for any kind of unemployment

64
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: benefit might disproportionately affect minority communities people of color, which

65
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 3: is a real slur against anybody who has a smartphone

66
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: and a laptop to be you know, to be told

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: you might not be able to work this out. On

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: the other hand, we all know how difficult to compete

69
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: to work with government, But to cite minority people or

70
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: people of color, that margionalized communities as.

71
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: They don't have the capabilities to fill out the form.

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: That's right, Yes, uniquely unfitted, unsuited to the modern world.

73
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: But that allowed all these fraudsters to come in unchecked.

74
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: And she has said she said in her house testimony

75
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: to Michelle Steele, she said, like, you know, look, this

76
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: was nobody could really see this coming. But she'd been

77
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: warned John for years that department, specifically even before JULIUSU

78
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: had been warned this kind of a hack, this kind

79
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: of a break in was very very likely, and she

80
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: did nothing for reasons of diversity, equity and inclusion.

81
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: Well, it turns out California has almost twenty five percent

82
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: of the total fraud in the nation on the issue.

83
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. I'm glad you pointed that out.

84
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: Federal government's owned documents show that, yes, California is responsible

85
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 3: for you know, we're about twelve percent of the nation's population,

86
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: about twenty five percent of the fraud occurred here. We

87
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: always strive to do better than everybody else. And the

88
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: only other state that has failed to pay back its loans.

89
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: Remember that the federal government loaned in multiple states about

90
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: forty some states loaned money to these states for their

91
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: unemployment benefits during COVID because those numbers spiked. Those numbers

92
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: were the worst here because of Gavin newsom so locking

93
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: down the economy. And it persists to this day that

94
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: our unemployment benefits are problematic. But it's only New York

95
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: and California and the Virgin Islands, we're up there with

96
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: the best, have failed to pay back these COVID era loans.

97
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: And so the result is that because we failed to

98
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: pay that back, we are now watching as the federal

99
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: government is starting to hit California employers California businesses with

100
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 3: a special payroll tax that will escalate each year that

101
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: loan is unpaid, so to go up from about four

102
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: hundred dollars per person to upwards of eighteen hundred dollars

103
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: if this goes unpaid for the number of years that

104
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: most people think it will be unpaid.

105
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: Good lord, that is a lot of nerve, though, to

106
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: try to saddle the US taxpayers with the bill for

107
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: something mess you created. I mean, I'm just astonishing how

108
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: much gall she has and she's willing to, you know,

109
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: say this out loud, air this out publicly.

110
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: Well, she wouldn't have all of this, you might remember, John,

111
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: A lot of this was only revealed I should say

112
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: all of it was revealed in a basically a footnote

113
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: in California's annual financial reports. They're called the Annual Consolidated

114
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: Financial Report, and California's was due about a year and

115
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: a half ago. They filed it finally fifteen months late

116
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: in March, and the last paragraph of that report, buried

117
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: just before the financial documents how much of spreadsheets and such?

118
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: Was this one paragraph that just read in kind of

119
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: weird language that California couldn't really say what its financial

120
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: situation was because we had this massive outstanding liability of

121
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: the federal government which they hoped would be forgiven within days.

122
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: And if you click on the link for that forgiveness,

123
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: it goes to a memo from Julie Sue's Department of

124
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: Labor at the federal government saying, yes, California can write

125
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: this off if California says it's done everything it could

126
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: to collect the money. So that's Julie Sue for giving

127
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: Julie Sue for having lost thirty three billion dollars and

128
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: was thirty three billion among friends, right.

129
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: Just outrageous how she accepts no responsibility at all.

130
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you detailing your story and then asked to review.

131
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: She just had one dodge after another after another after another.

132
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: She just kept offering up nonsense answers and looks like

133
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: she never spent a day of her life seriously examining this.

134
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: Well.

135
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: I think that's part of the challenge we have here

136
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: in California. Is I tried to point out a little

137
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: bit in my story. You know, this is a unique

138
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: political environment in California, and in competence is rewarded. People

139
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: fail up. Julie Sue has no background in public management,

140
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: managing a large government agency like the Department of Labor,

141
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: which oversees the unemployment Department here, had no experience. She

142
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: is an activist attorney. That's how she came to Gavin

143
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: Newsom's attention. She was a woman who was Asian America

144
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: is Asia, I'm sorry, she is a woman so far

145
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: as we know, and she's Asian American, and she was

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: an activist, you know, kind of a left wing labor activist,

147
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: and that was what qualified her to run this largest

148
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: in the nation, Department of Labor. Yeah.

149
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I get all the left wing, progressive rhetoric

150
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: that swirls around this, but the money went to a

151
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: death row inmates, international critical gangs. It didn't go to

152
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: poor people struggling because they lost their jobs during COVID.

153
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: That's not where the money went.

154
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: The money went to the harshest criminals on the planet,

155
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: including some who've.

156
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: Already been sentenced to death. That's what's amazing about it.

157
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: A parting gift maybe, Yeah, this is what's amazing. John Is.

158
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: You guys reported on this. I remember you discussing it

159
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: at the time. We're going back to like twenty twenty

160
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. You guys were talking about this issue,

161
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: and one of the things I think you noted that

162
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: others have forgotten now is that when she was alerted

163
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: to this, just skyrocketing, you know, just catastrophe. I think

164
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: the number at that point was that she lost eleven

165
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: billion in counting. You could see the counter clicking over.

166
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: She immediately stomped on the brakes and shut like three

167
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand ordinary legitimate claims down for unemployment benefit.

168
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: That's what was great.

169
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: The criminals were getting all the money, but the regular

170
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: people who had a legitimate claim, they had their payment

171
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: shut down.

172
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: You couldn't do a job.

173
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: Yes, what's that old saying we used to have. I

174
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: used to be a lefty. There was a great saying

175
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: of a search for the guilty, punish the innocent. I

176
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: think that's Julie sees modo.

177
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: Now, Wow, do you think do you think they'll finally

178
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: block her from becoming the I mean, we're running out

179
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: of time on this whole issue anyway, because if Biden

180
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: doesn't survive the election, but good lord, I mean, and

181
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: she's actually going to get re ordered with the permanent

182
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: labor secretary job.

183
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: Well, this is.

184
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: We're so fascinating, John, You and I could spend an

185
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: hour talking about just this aspect. Good old Kevin Kylie,

186
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: congressman from up in Placer County who represents that area

187
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: of Sacramento. And Kevin, Yes, what a wonderful guy. I mean,

188
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: just a rock solid, just very straightforward, low key kind

189
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: of dude. Has to Biden administration like, can you please

190
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: clarify why this woman is still acting quote unquote acting

191
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: Department of the Senate refuses to confirm her. Go find

192
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: somebody else who the Senate likes, And the Biden administration said, no, no, no, no,

193
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: you don't understand. You're thinking of a federal regulation that

194
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: requires Senate oversight. We don't have that in the Department

195
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: of Labor. We operate under a uniquely different set of

196
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: rules over there. So you know, maybe it's arguable the

197
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: Biden administration said that we don't have to have Senate

198
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: confirmation for this key agency post. It's just remarkable. So

199
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: you know, I'm following Kevin's work on that, but I think,

200
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: you know, the poor guy is almost losing his mind.

201
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: He's surrounded by this kind of chaos and he's doing

202
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: everything by the book. But you know you got an

203
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 3: administration that's kind of off the reservation here.

204
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: Now, all right, good talking with you again, Will, thanks

205
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: very much for coming on. Thank you, Will Swain articles

206
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: in the National Review. We've got more on this coming up.

207
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

208
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 5: six forty.

209
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Let's play a little clip. Get to cut one ready.

210
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: We just finished talking with Will Swain, who wrote a

211
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: great piece in the National View that you ought to read.

212
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: This is hard to believe, and if you're just joining us,

213
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: the quick story is we had a labor secretary under

214
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Gavin Nincom poop Newsom, who blew at least thirty three

215
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 2: billion dollars in unemployment money to fraudsters, criminals around the country,

216
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: around the world, international crime syndicates, inmates in California Death Row,

217
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: inmates including Scott Peterson, thirty three billion dollars they got

218
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: in an unemployment money because Julie Sue, this labor activist failure,

219
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: became labor secretary with no experience and no experience running

220
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: an agency.

221
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: It's incredible.

222
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: And everybody told her every day, Julie, we're losing billions,

223
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: and she'd started mumbling something about diversity, equity and inclusion.

224
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: And you know then they told her to go lie down.

225
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: It was Dei fever she had. It was a raging infection.

226
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: So she gives away the thirty three billion, and now

227
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: she's Labor Secretary, acting Labor Secretary for Biden, and she

228
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,239
Speaker 2: wants to use her power to reimburse California, the California

229
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: government with US taxpayer money. She's trying to pay back herself,

230
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: in effect, to clean up her own mess using taxpayer money.

231
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 2: And the Republicans, at least in Congress are having none

232
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: of it. Here is Julie Sue. We'll get an idea

233
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: about her genius level getting grilled from Congresswoman Michelle Steele

234
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: here in California.

235
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 6: Does DOL intend to forgive the nearby nearly thirty billion

236
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 6: dollars in fraudulent payments that the California AD depaid out

237
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 6: to frosters, scammers, and non international organized crime ings that

238
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 6: occurred under you in California.

239
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 7: Thank you, Congresswoman for giving me a chance to address that.

240
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 7: It is absolutely false that the guidance that the Department

241
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 7: of Labor put out would forgive any fraud. So fraud

242
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 7: is never okay. We do not condone it, we should

243
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 7: not overlook it. And in fact, both are OIG and

244
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 7: others have been trying to combat.

245
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 8: The fraud that was overwhelmingly paid in a program that

246
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 8: was set up by Congress to address the pandemic that

247
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 8: allowed for both automatic backdating and self certification.

248
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 9: In its design.

249
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 7: So the fraud is not acceptable, and we the Department

250
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 7: of Labor, certainly did not waive any kind of efforts

251
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 7: to combat the fraud or to recover fraudulent payments. In fact,

252
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 7: just recently, my Inspector General dischaced some funds to another

253
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 7: country in which fraudulent funds were used to purchase property,

254
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 7: and we are now trying to seize that property or

255
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 7: to get the money back.

256
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 9: We're serious about combating fraud. What the guys would.

257
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: Stop stop a second, We're serious about combating fraud. She

258
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: allowed it to happen for months on end until racked up,

259
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: until we racked up thirty three billion dollars in fraudulent payments,

260
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: and now she's claiming they're you know, they're they're trying

261
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: to call the money back from a foreign country. I

262
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: did this just it's just filibustering by somebody who's obviously

263
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: not very bright. I don't know where she got her

264
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: law degree, but either they were giving them out cheaply.

265
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: By the way, did did anybody investigate?

266
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: Was there any kickbacks going back to anybody in California government?

267
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean, when you got thirty three billion dollars being

268
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: looted by criminals, any kickbacks?

269
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 9: We're serious about combating fraud.

270
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: And of course she's our acting Labor secretary, and of

271
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: course the administration backxer.

272
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: There's just there's no there's no rules anymore. Harvard, Harvard,

273
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: are you serious? Yeah?

274
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: She got her BA at Stanford in nineteen ninety one

275
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: and then heard JD from Harvard. Wow, Harvard really is

276
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: not what it used to be, is it. That's a

277
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: Harvard graduate there and she blew thirty three billion dollars

278
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: of tax money.

279
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 9: We're serious about combating fraud.

280
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: Why is everyone a cartoon character these days?

281
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

282
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: six forty ron.

283
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: From one until four after four o'clock. You missed the show.

284
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: Ah, go to John Cobelt's show on demand on the

285
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: iHeart app and you can listen to what you missed.

286
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: Let's post it after four o'clock coming up at three.

287
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: The Rebecca Grossman case still not over. You remember that story.

288
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: Rebecca Grossman is the wife of doctor Peter Grossman. They

289
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: are the co founders of the Grossman Burn Center in

290
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: the Valley, and Rebecca Grossman was found guilty of killing

291
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 2: Mark and Jacob Iskander. She struck and killed them at

292
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: a crosswalk in Westlake Village eleven and eight years old.

293
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: We are going to have Mark and Jacob's mom on

294
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: Nancy for the first time on our show. She was

295
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: walking with them as they were crossing the street ahead

296
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: of her when when Rebecca Grossman's SUV barreled through the

297
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 2: intersection and Rebecca hit them and killed them both. Rebecca

298
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: then tried to blame her boyfriend Scott Ericksson she was

299
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 2: having an affair the former Dodger Pitcher. Jury thought she

300
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: was lying and that this was an attorney just made

301
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: up the story, and the next chapter here is about

302
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: that attorney, James Spurtis I. James Spurtis is also the

303
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: attorney for Gascon's assistant da Diana Tehran. Diana Tehran was

304
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: just charged with eleven felonies illegally using confidential sheriff's deputy

305
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: records major felonies that the Attorney General has charged her with.

306
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: Tehran is represented by James Spurtis. So what you have here,

307
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: according to what you have here, is a possible conflict

308
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: of interest by James Spurtis because he's representing someone in

309
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 2: Gascone's department at the same time he's up against someone

310
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: in Gascon's department because they're heading into the sentencing and

311
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: Gascone has now stepped in and removed the prosecutors from

312
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: the Iskander side of the case. So the prosecutors who

313
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: got the conviction and we're now trying to secure the sentencing,

314
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: have been removed because the defense attorney is representing Gascone's

315
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: top lieutenant. You follow this, The defense attorney is representing

316
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: Gascone's top lieutenant. So Gascone removed his prosecutors who got

317
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: the conviction. I don't understand this. I'm sure Nancy Iskander

318
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: doesn't either, but we'll find out when we talk with her,

319
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: and she's gonna come on after three o'clock. I mean,

320
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: Gascone really is the embodiment of evil. Imagine sighting against

321
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: the Iskander family taking away their prosecutors to try to

322
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: so that your possibly crooked assistant da ist gets the

323
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: lawyer she wants. It's amazing our Kamala Harris has dropped

324
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: the F bomb. She was appearing on stage at the

325
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: annual Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Legislative Leadership Summit.

326
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: Do you believe the title of that?

327
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: How come all these left wing organizations have these incredibly long,

328
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: complicated titles Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Legislative

329
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: Leadership Summit. Yikes, that is what is that? That's ten words?

330
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: Ten words? Well, she's speaking there, getting interviewed by some

331
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: movie guy and this is her.

332
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 10: Well, listen, we have to know that sometimes people will

333
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 10: open the door for you and leave it open, and

334
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 10: sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that

335
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 10: door down.

336
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 4: And then and then the cat like, we're gonna make

337
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 4: t shirts with that saying kick the door down.

338
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: I pray every day for Joe Biden's health. Imagine if

339
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: she became president. Imagine you heard that laugh every day.

340
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: This is this is, this is why Biden cannot get

341
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: re elected. I mean, can you imagine listening to that

342
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: every frigging day, President Harrison sh let's say that, don't

343
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: say those things.

344
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned early earlier.

345
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: That California is going to get a fifty cent a

346
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: gallon tax increase next year and another fifty cents the

347
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: year after. This comes from the California Air Resources Board.

348
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: They have a new low carbon fuel standard. These regulations

349
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: will increase the cost of gas by fifty cents in

350
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five and another fifty cents in twenty twenty six.

351
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: I'm rounding off here, could even be higher for diesel.

352
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: We're going to talk with State Senator Jenet win A

353
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: three thirty about it. Because you take what we're paying

354
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: for gas, which at the moment averages five to twenty eight,

355
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: well in two years it's going to be minimum six

356
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: twenty eight. And elsewhere in the country they're playing they're

357
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: paying three ten three twenty three thirty a gallon. They're

358
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: trying to make it unaffordable to drive a gas car,

359
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: which is not a good idea because there was another

360
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: story in the National Review that the electric car industry

361
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: in America is really in a terrible state. If you remember,

362
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: back in November, Ford announced it is scaling back its

363
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 2: ev battery plant lower than expected demand. Now, as Ford

364
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: pulls back on its EV business, they're trying to push

365
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: sales of hybrid vehicles, and they've been cutting orders from

366
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: battery suppliers because of electric vehicle losses. If you can

367
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: believe this, there, electric vehicle losses are totaling one hundred

368
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: thousand dollars per EV for Ford. Let me say that again.

369
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: Ford is losing one hundred thousand dollars on every EV itsels.

370
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: Last year it was losing fifty thousand dollars per EV.

371
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: How the hell do you lose one hundred thousand dollars

372
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 2: on every single car they're making. So they're reducing spending

373
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: on battery powered evs by twelve billion dollars. They're cutting prices,

374
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: they're postponing or shrinking their battery plants. In fact, Ford

375
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: says they're going to lose five and a half billion

376
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: dollars on electric vehicles. The CEO, Jim Farley, says it's

377
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: the main drag on the whole company right now. Forg's

378
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: losses are so great it's going to wipe out the

379
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: profits it earns.

380
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: From its.

381
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: Internal combustion engine department, the department that makes the bronco

382
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: and the hybrids. It's gonna wipe all the gas powered cars,

383
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: either partly or fully. Gas powered cars, that whole division,

384
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: all their profits are getting wiped out by the electric

385
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: vehicle unit. So the electric vehicle industry in America is

386
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 2: going bust. In the meantime, to try to force this

387
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: into electric vehicles, the California Resources Board is adding another

388
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: dollar's worth of gas taxes.

389
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: On us for the next two years.

390
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 2: They're gonna there is not even going to be an

391
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: alternative to gas powered cars eventually, because who's going to

392
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: This is the interesting question that somebody posed the other day.

393
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: If if they ban gas powered cars or put a

394
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: cap on the number of gas powered cars, but the

395
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: electric vehicles don't work and nobody wants them, what's gonna happen.

396
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: Nobody has an.

397
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 6: Answer to that.

398
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna walk to work. We're gonna be riding horses,

399
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: maybe a little scooter.

400
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna be take scooters.

401
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 5: All right, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from

402
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.

403
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: Coming up after three o'clock. We're going to talk with

404
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: Nancy Iskender. Nancy is the mother of the two boys

405
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: who were killed by Rebecca Grossman, the wife of doctor

406
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: Peter Grossman, co founders of the Grossman Burn Center in

407
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: the Valley. She was the one who was drinking that

408
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: afternoon Westlake Village, September of twenty twenty and she ran

409
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: over Nancy's two Nancy's sons, Mark and Jacob, eleven and

410
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: eight years old. She got convicted a second degree murder.

411
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 2: She's awaiting sentencing now. The sentencing is maybe held up

412
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: because the prosecutors who got the conviction and we're working

413
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: on the sentencing argument, have been removed by George Gascone

414
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: because see you for follow this. Rebeca Zacka Grossman's attorney

415
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: is now the attorney for Gascones assistant Da Diana tehran

416
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: who's been charged with eleven felonies illegal use of sheriff's

417
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: deputy records employment records. So Gascon's top lieutenant, Diana Teharan

418
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: has been charged with eleven felonies. She's using James Spurtis,

419
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 2: same attorney the Rebecca Grossman is using, and it's really

420
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: confounding here. You know they're yelling conflict of interest. Well,

421
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: the conflict of interests is with Spurtus. Why would you

422
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: remove the prosecutors who represent in effect, the Iskander family.

423
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: It's it's headshaking, but not I guess another day in

424
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: business for gascone.

425
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you at Nancie Aeskinder coming up after

426
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: three o'clock.

427
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: We've mentioned a couple of times during the show about

428
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: this fifty cent a gallon gas tax that's coming for

429
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, and then another fifty cents in twenty

430
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 2: twenty six. This is all from the California Air Resources Board.

431
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: You may want to know this. Thenews site californiaglobe dot

432
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: com has this story. The California Air Resources Board has

433
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: been sent a letter by sixteen hundred scientists sixteen hundred scientists,

434
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 2: and the headline is there is no climate crisis in

435
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: California and whether the temperature is going up or not.

436
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: They say that modest warming in California is beneficial, not

437
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: a cause for concern, because globally more people die from

438
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: the cold than from the heat. That's been true for

439
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: almost twenty five years. They say an increase in temperature

440
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: is good for agricultural production. You have a longer growing

441
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: season and you have more carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is

442
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 2: essential because plants need carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is beneficial,

443
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: it increases their growth, the plant growth, food production, and

444
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: drought resistance. They say California is in no danger of

445
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: unusual drought. The annual precipitation has fluctuated greatly over one

446
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years, but really only a slight decrease.

447
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: Ski resorts had more snow. Most ski resorts in California

448
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: had increasing snowfall from twenty twelve to twenty twenty three.

449
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: California is in no danger of massive flooding from the

450
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: Pacific Ocean. The highest rate of sea level is in

451
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: North spit California, and that's been only one and a

452
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: half feet over the last one hundred years, which you

453
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: can easily mitigate. There are less natural disasters. The number

454
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: of wildfires and acres burned in the US and globally

455
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: significantly reduced. California has very rarely has tornadoes, no landfall

456
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: hurricanes for the last one hundred and fifty years, and

457
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: air quality in California keeps getting better. Major pollutants have decreased.

458
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: In conclusion, says this group, there's no climate crisis in California.

459
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: What if all this has been hysteria.

460
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of hysterias the last few years,

461
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: race hysteria, anti police hysteria, transgender hysteria, climate change hysteria,

462
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: Trump hysteria. What if all this stuff is just people

463
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: with emotional disorders grouping together through the Internet and organizing

464
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: and acting out and creating political movements and making wild,

465
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: unprovable and untrue claims. What if years from now we

466
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: look back and we wonder why did everybody go crazy?
