1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Ken is out today and we are going to have 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: another thousand dollars to give away at about three twenty 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: or so. It could be a couple minutes earlier than that, 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: couple minutes later. You better keep the radio on the 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: whole time. And when I give you the signal, you 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: call also moistline. It's got some vacancies eight seven seven 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: moist eighty six eight seven seven moist eighty six. Surely 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: there's something upsetting you. This why we've been yelling about 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: this for over eight years now, worst proposition ever passed 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: by California voters. Nobody was reading, nobody was paying attention. 11 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: This was This was a Jerry Brown production. I think 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris has involved in this too. I think she 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: came up with the title for this, the Safe Neighborhoods 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: and Schools Act Prop. Forty seven. There was no such thing. Actually, 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: what it did it is allowed thieves to shoplift nine 16 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars every day from local stores. No felony, 17 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: and as a misdemeanor it was hardly ever prosecuted, certainly 18 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: no jail time. Like in La County, they do not 19 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: put you in jail if you've committed a misdemeanor and 20 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: you've been convicted because the jail time is six months, 21 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: so six months or less in La County, you're free. 22 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: That was the practical. And secondly, they took away up 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: prosecutors and judges ability when they had someone arrested for 24 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: drug possession. They used to be able to say, hey, 25 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: we're going to charge you with a felony unless you 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: go for a drug treatment and then we'll make it 27 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: a misdemeanor and you'll get out quickly, but you have 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: to go to drug rehab. You'll go to drug rehab. 29 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: Then you're gonna go to prison for a felony. Took 30 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: that away from the judges of the prosecutors. Why would 31 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: you do that? What do you think happen? Well, what 32 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: happened is that you've got many more drug addicts now 33 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: laying around the street, never got treated. Now they're all 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: dying of meth overdoses or fentnil. And secondly they're walking 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: into everywhere and stealing everything. You know. I mean, look, 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: look what I mean. The reason San Francisco has been destroyed. 37 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: Give me traced back to Prop forty seven. There's a 38 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: reason life changed so dramatically in the last ten years 39 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: or so, and it started with this. So now we're 40 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: going to talk with Assemblyman one Alanis. He has Assembly 41 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: Bill three thirty five. He's a Republican from Modesto and 42 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: this would dramatically rewrite Prop. Forty seven. Let's get him 43 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: on the show. Hey one, how are you good? John? 44 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: How are you? And? Oh my gosh, you just took 45 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: all the words out of my mouth on that. It 46 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: was great. Well, there's You've got plenty more words. I 47 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: just wanted to set up for the audience. So what's 48 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: happened here in California? Let me let me ask you 49 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: this as you and your constituents. Have you've seen this 50 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: with your own eyes? What's happened here in the state. 51 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: I haven't. I don't know if you know what my 52 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: background is, but I've spent over twenty years in law enforcement. 53 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: So did you notice a change after this proposition passed? Oh? Yes, 54 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: without a doubt. Definitely, definitely a change in the calls. Obviously, 55 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: the criminals they're smart, they know what they can still, 56 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: they know exactly how far and how high the amount 57 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: can go to where they won't get in trouble. I mean, 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: I heard some guys walking with calculators and they don't 59 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: even run out of the buildings anywhere they walk. Now 60 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: they have baskets and they just roll out with the 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: basket and they got a calculator the way you know 62 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: people used to calculate the grocery builds to see if 63 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: they have enough money to pay for it. Correct And 64 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: the people on the streets, a lot of them are 65 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: drug addicts. They would have gotten treatment under the old system. Yes, 66 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: and so you're correctly right Prop. Forty seven. It's a 67 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: policy shoplifting as skyrocketed and businesses are closing and the 68 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: criminals are basically being given a free pass to commit 69 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: crime without any consequences. And what is the argument from 70 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats to keep this proposition in place? Why do 71 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: they think this is good for California. Well, it's it's 72 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: good for just a small population, which are the criminals, 73 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: and it keeps them out of prisons or jails, is 74 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: what it's doing. They're trying not to overpopulate our jails 75 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: in prisons so that way they can shut them down, 76 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: when in fact that's what we need. We need people 77 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: to be held accountable, we need consequences. You and I 78 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: are being held accountable. If we don't pay a bill, 79 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: we get charged an extra fee for not doing that, 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: So should and everybody else have to do consequence, They 81 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: manage to release a net total of sixty five thousand prisoners. 82 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: Prisons aren't overcrowded anymore. There's only ninety five thousand left. 83 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: It used to be one hundred and sixty thousand. You're correct, 84 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: And they're still trying to close more and more prisons 85 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: as we speak. And does anything get to them, I mean, 86 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: they must be getting complaints from their constituents. I know 87 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: in San Francisco much of that city is very upset 88 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: and and many many people have moved out for good 89 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: because and you're right, and I would assume that they are. 90 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: I know I'm hearing it from my end, but you 91 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: have grocery stores and pharmacies that are closing down. So 92 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: you have hundreds of pharmacies closing and it's creating gaps 93 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: and access to prescription and health services for some of 94 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: the most vulnerable and rural crime communities are rural communities 95 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: like in my district, but definitely in their district too, 96 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: especially San Francisco. I want to say they've lost like 97 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: almost three hundred pharmacies that have had to move out 98 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: of those areas because of forty seven. Does that have 99 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: an effect on these legislators. I mean, they could see 100 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: the pharmacies closing, they could see the people moving out 101 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: they I mean, I would hope they would. I would 102 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: hope they would see that in that they're stituments are 103 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: reaching out to them because they're trying to do so 104 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: much for for these areas that are basically underserved, and 105 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: now you're just creating more havoc for them because now 106 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: they have to travel much further and further to get 107 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: to these simple stores that you and I would normally have, 108 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: like on the corner, that would be close within reach. 109 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: Much much of the public wants this changed. Why do 110 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: you think the public voted for it to begin with? 111 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: Do you think anybody knew what they were doing? Did anybody? 112 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: I think it was it was just like you had mentioned. Basically, 113 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: they did a play on words. They tricked everybody to think, oh, 114 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: we're keeping the schools and the neighborhoods safe, we need 115 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: to vote yes on this. I think that is what 116 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: the voters. I think I think the voters were tricked 117 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: on that, and I think if the voters had a 118 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: chance to vote on it again, they would be more 119 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: educated about it and they would vote against it. Are 120 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: you getting anybody among the Democrats to listen to you? Actually, yes, 121 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: since I've introduced that bill, and that's that's something that 122 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: I've talked about for a past couple of days with 123 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: this bill. And it may not pass right away, and 124 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm not stupid on that part, but it's it's now 125 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: bringing conversations to the table. People are discussing and actually 126 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: looking into it. And so I'm very very happy with that. Uh, 127 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: even with my colleagues that you know, obviously Democratic colleagues, 128 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: they're they're they've come to me in private or even 129 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: on the floor thing you know, they understand on some 130 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: of us. So it's the conversations are happening now. Yeah. Yeah, 131 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: Well it's nice that I always I hear this occasionally 132 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: from Republican politicians that the Democrats that have a chokehold 133 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: on the whole system privately say, yeah, you're right, we 134 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: got it. We got to fix this. But who's going 135 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: to be the one to go on the record, who's 136 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: going to say it out loud, be a leader who's 137 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: going to actually vote differently on this. I mean, who's 138 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: going to be the first one yes, whispering it to you? 139 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: Is it going to do any good? No? And and 140 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: there are there are some that are that are taking 141 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: their own approach to it, like joint Legislative Audits committees. 142 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: I know there was one today that I joined on 143 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: where one of my colleagues as a Democrat, and he 144 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: also sees it and he wants to see the hard number. 145 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: So he in support of reviewing Prot forty seven through 146 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: this joint legislative committee. It's just basically allowing us to 147 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: get the real hard information. And I suspect it will 148 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: show that we already know Prought forty seven has severely flawed. 149 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: And if that's what they want to see, then let's 150 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: let them see it. Let's turn that light on, let's 151 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: let's go into that dark room, and let's flip that 152 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: light switch and let them see is failing. Here are 153 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: the numbers. It's clearly a failure. I mean I can 154 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: walk around LA for a few hours and see literally 155 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: hundreds of drug addicts in the parks, living on the 156 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: streets and the medians, and I could go to any 157 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: number of drug stories and I can't believe the stuff 158 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: that is locked up now, I mean it's a pain 159 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: in the neck to go shopping at at a drug 160 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: store chain because everything is in a plastic case and 161 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: you need a key and there's nobody available to give 162 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: you the key. Correct. And then and then hearing from 163 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: retellers what they're getting is now people will just say, 164 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: you know what, I'd rather just order it online. So 165 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: now they're ordering it online whereas they could have got 166 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: it locally, which is providing jobs for locals. That's that's 167 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. I'm buying a lot of stuff online 168 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: simply because it just is it available or it's too 169 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: difficult to access at the stores. Well, listen, any publicity 170 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: we can give you for this, any pressure we can raise, 171 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: and some of the other Assemblyment you just let us know. 172 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: And if you run, if you're running, if you run 173 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: into a wall, lets tell us. All right, whichever way 174 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: this goes, you make progress or you're not making progress, 175 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: and we'll keep talking about this. And thank you for 176 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: submitting this. Thank you, John, thank you for your support. 177 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: Assemblyman one alanis Republican from Modesto, and again he'd as 178 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: a bill that would massively right that that atrocity prop 179 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: forty seven, which has brought so much crime and so 180 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: much a drug addiction, so many prisoners living out in 181 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: the streets. Now, boy, this is really infuriating. What a 182 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: botch here. Listen to this. You may, if you're a 183 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: California resident, have gotten a state tax refund. They started 184 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: this in October. The refund was two hundred dollars to 185 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: one thousand and fifty dollars. This was some kind of 186 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: inflation reimbursement. Remember it was originally supposed to be a 187 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: gas tax refund. And if you made less than a 188 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: quarter of a million dollars in income, you got some 189 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: money or less than a half million dollars a year 190 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: excuse me as a married couple. Yeah, and this was 191 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: to come that inflation. Now the money came to you 192 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: either direct deposit or you got sent a prepaid visa 193 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: debit card. The question is is getting back a tax 194 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: refund taxable? And it seems nobody knows. Some of the 195 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: tax preparation companies are treating it as not taxable on 196 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: your federal return, but some tax professionals say it is. 197 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: And apparently you get a separate You might get a 198 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: separate form called a ten ninety nine MSc stands for 199 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: miscellaneous income. You'll get that if you've got a payment 200 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: of six hundred dollars or more, because it may be 201 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: taxable for federal purposes. Now, the Franchise Tax Board, which 202 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: runs the tax system in this state, did not say 203 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: outright whether the payment is taxable. It instructs you to 204 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: consult your tax professional. Well, some of the tax professionals 205 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: don't know, or they're giving conflicting answers. They also say 206 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: consult irs publication five twenty five, but that publication doesn't 207 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: say what to do about a state tax refund. That's 208 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: not a refund. See normally, if it's a regular refund 209 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: from your original tax filing, that's not taxable. Right. The 210 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: tax refund means you overpaid the tax to the state. 211 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: This is a tax refund sort of. It is marketed 212 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: that way, but it's possible the federal government looks at 213 00:12:54,120 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: looks at it as income. Hi ya yai. So the 214 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: or the newspapers, well the San Francisco Chronicle called the IRS, 215 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: or actually wrote a question to the IRS, and they 216 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: did not respond, and they couldn't. Somebody from H and 217 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: R Block said that if the payment is not federally taxable. 218 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: She didn't know how or he didn't know how it 219 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: should be reported on the return. So you got these 220 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: famous high end tax preparation companies who don't know what 221 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: to do. Apparently the federal government doesn't know what to say. 222 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: You imagine this now, it's not a lot of money, 223 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: so it's not a lot of taxes. Here is what 224 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: the Franchise Tax Board said via email. The question posed 225 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: was what should people do about taxes if you get 226 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: this refund? So I'm going to read this verbati. This 227 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: is not going to make any sense. So if it 228 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: sounds confusing, it's because it is. I've read this several 229 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: times and I don't know what this means. Okay, So 230 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: question is what should people do about their tax refund? 231 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: And the Franchise Tax Board says, with respect to federal taxability, 232 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: a taxpayer is generally taxed on income that is available 233 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: to them, regardless of whether it is in their possession. Therefore, 234 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: if you're MCTR payment that's the middle class tax refund 235 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: payment was not received by you in twenty twenty two, 236 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: it may not be considered taxable income for the twenty 237 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: twenty two tax year if the recipient receives the reissued 238 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: MCTR tax payment in twenty twenty three, the MCTR payment 239 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: may be considered taxable income in the tax year twenty 240 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: twenty three because the payment was available to the recipient 241 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. And then they said, it's because 242 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: of the complexity. You should call the IRS or their 243 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: tax professional. Do you understand any of that? Oh you 244 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: lost me? Well, I'm lost two here. One woman had 245 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: a seven hundred dollars refund on a card. She spent 246 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: some of it, but I guess somebody like probably had, 247 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: you know, one of those swiping mechanisms on a machine, 248 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: and they got a hold of her atm data. There 249 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: was four hundred eighty dollars left on her card and 250 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: somebody spent it. They went to ka Jeweler's and game 251 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: stop in Victorville at two in the morning, So her 252 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: four hundred eighty dollars was gone. So she reported it 253 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: to Money Network, that's the company that was hired by 254 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: the state to issue the debit cards. Called the Money 255 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: Network and waited on hold for forty minutes and then 256 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: was told it would take forty five to ninety days 257 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: to investigate. Now, she's gotten a tax form for the 258 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars she received, she doesn't know whether she 259 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: really owes tax or not. And besides that she had 260 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: two thirds of its stolen. You know, this is so 261 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: simple fact we got. I got more news on the 262 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: the Employment Development Department that lost the thirty one billion, 263 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: because there's there's a congressional committee we talked about the 264 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: sesterday is really tearing into the new sub administration over 265 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: this kind of incompetence. But look at this. All they 266 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: had to do is hand out a check for between 267 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: two hundred and a thousand bucks and it's either taxable 268 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: or it's not. I can't imagine why it's taxable because 269 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: you're getting a refund on the tax you already paid. 270 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: So how does that become a taxable I just don't know. Yeah, 271 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: good luck calling somebody, Yeah I know. Forty minutes and 272 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: then they say, the people who got screwed by the 273 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: Unemployment office, they were on hold for twelve hours. It's ridiculous. 274 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: And they would call every single day for twelve hours. 275 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: It is the worst government imaginable. I wouldn't even insult 276 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: third world nations by saying we have a third world government, 277 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: because I don't I don't think anybody's on hold for 278 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 1: twelve hours at a third world nation. When we come back, Uh, 279 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: this will be funny. We're always bagging on all the 280 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 1: idiot newspaper editors and people who run television and radio 281 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: news departments with their obsession with woke language. Well, the 282 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: New York Times has a writer who did an extensive 283 00:17:54,240 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: analysis of all the woke terms that activists and journalists 284 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: are trying to force people to use. It's really funny. 285 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: We'll get to that we come back now. One of 286 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: the plagues since we all live in woke world, wokeastan 287 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: is this constant insistence that the language has to change. 288 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: And one of the leaders of this is the Associated 289 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: Press style Book, and they have been overrun with progressive 290 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: vocals and they try to shame media outlets into using 291 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: the new language because they don't want stigmatization and dehumanization. 292 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: And apparently the APE style Book finally hit a wall 293 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: last week they announced that we recommend avoiding general and 294 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: often deh dehumanizing labor with the word the In other words, 295 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: don't call them deep, the poor, or the mentally ill, 296 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: or the disabled, or the French, the French. Apparently it's 297 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: dehumanizing to call the French people the French. The French 298 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: Embassy thought this was funny, and they released a statement 299 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: saying that they were going to change its name to 300 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: the Embassy of Frenchness. The APE style Book then deleted 301 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: its tweet, but insisted that you still shouldn't use the poor, 302 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: the mentally ill, the wealthy, the disabled, or the or 303 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: the college educated. What are you supposed to say? Apparently 304 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: it's stigmatizing and dehumanizing to describe a group of people 305 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: as the college educated. I I don't I don't know. 306 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't get that. I don't. Hey look the SAP 307 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: Style Book, right, you guys? How was it dehumanizing to 308 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: call people the college educated? What are you supposed to stay? Instead? 309 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: That's what the Associated press says and whatever they say. 310 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: Now there's a there's an idiot columnist for the New 311 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: York Times who I've mentioned before. His name is Nicholas Christoph, 312 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: very left wing um. He started a crusade to try 313 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: to release the murderer Kevin Cooper because he has a 314 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: delusion that Kevin Cooper didn't kill that family many years ago. 315 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: We just did that story recently, and he's nuts, but 316 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: he wanted to be He wanted to have some power. 317 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: A lot of these crazy writers calumnists really want to 318 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: be politicians in power. And so he moved. He quit 319 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: his job as a columnist for the New York Times 320 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: and moved to Oregon to run for governor of Oregon. 321 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: And when he got there, found out he was ineligible 322 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: because he hadn't been living there for a certain amount 323 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: of time. So now he's gone back to being a 324 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: columnist for the New York Times. True story. I mean, 325 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: he didn't know until he moved there, until he quit 326 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: the Times, until he got to Oregon, and then he 327 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: found out the law says, no, you can't be governor anyway. 328 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: Even Nicholas Christoff, who's about as progressive as they come, 329 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: has finally had enough of the language police, and he 330 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: lists all the changes that activists or the APE style 331 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: Book is a desisting on journalists. For example, Latino to 332 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: Latin X or some people say Latins, And they found 333 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: out that ninety seven percent of Latinos don't use Latin X. 334 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: They think it's insulting because it's insulting to their language, 335 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: because the language differentiates between masculine and feminine, right, Latino 336 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: is male, Latina is female. This crowd also wanted to 337 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: to get rid of the word women and change it 338 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: to people with uteruses. No, yes, I don't want to 339 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: be referred to as that. I'm just saying so, like, 340 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: if I ever say to you Debora as a woman, 341 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: now I'm gonna say Deborah as a person with a uterus, 342 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to ignore you. Homeless to houseless. We've heard 343 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: that lgbt I know that pops up in your newscast. 344 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's inappropriate. You know what it's supposed to be. 345 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: What lgbt Q I A two S plus? What I said, 346 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: lgbt Q I A two S plus? What is the 347 00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: I S plus? It's a good question. I don't know, Okay, 348 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: I care so little. I didn't even look it up. 349 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: It used to be I would look this stuff up 350 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: right now. Breastfeeding is no longer breastfeed. What is it? 351 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: Chest feeding? Oh my god, that's to include men. But 352 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: men have breasts apparently not they have chests. No, but 353 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: you call them breasts. Men don't breastfeed though, Um, well, 354 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: it's it's women who became men and got pregnant. Uh huh, 355 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: Asian Americans became APIs. Yeah, that just happened recently. To 356 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: account for Pacific Islanders, ex Felon is now known as 357 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: a returning citizen pro choice the abortion issue, pro choice 358 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: is now pro decision. I don't really even understand the difference. 359 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: I don't either. The American Medical Association has a fifty 360 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 1: four page guide on language. For example, Um, instead of 361 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: talking about social injustice any second? Oh um, oh, you 362 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: can't say social problems. They did equity focused research and 363 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: came up with social injustice, So somehow social problems are offensive. 364 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: No longer refer to vulnerable groups and underrepresentative minorities used 365 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: terms such as oppressed and historically minoritized, like if you're 366 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: in a minority group, you've you've been minoritized. Okay, um, 367 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: let me see. Oh. The American Cancer Society recommends cancer 368 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: screenings for not women, individuals with a cervix. The Cleveland 369 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: Clinic offers advice not for women, but people who menstruate. Well, 370 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: what if you don't menstrate anymore? Don't make this complicated. 371 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I apparently wait a second, now, 372 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: Rodd de Santis has been making fun of this. Oh, 373 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: oh oh no, he was actually just pointing this out 374 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: in a speech. The Cleveland Clinic no longer talks about women. 375 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: They talk about assigned females at birth who have vaginas. 376 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: And I've gone onto some of these medical sites sometimes 377 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: I have a question, you know, just something pops up 378 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: in the news. So I've gone to the Cleveland Clinic 379 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: and they do no longer discussed women. They never just 380 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: use the word woman. They always talk about people assigned 381 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: female at birth. There's even an acronym a fab fab. 382 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: So you're not a woman, you are a female assigned 383 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: at birth who have a vagina any uterus. That's me. 384 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: That's call me a fab. A fab Yes, okay, female, 385 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: I'm a fab. And all these progressive people that they 386 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: don't understand how funny this is. Now, don't I know 387 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: some of this stuff is in the ape style. Bug. Well, 388 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: it may pop up in my news, you know, you 389 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: gotta watch for I know. Um, it looks like this 390 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: story is just coming out now. Just a few minutes 391 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: ago came through that they're surveillance video showing a car 392 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: striking a bicyclist at a Dana Point intersection. Then the 393 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: driver got out of the car and assaulted the victim, 394 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: who later died at a hospital. The car launched the 395 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: bike and the cyclist into the air. Happened just after 396 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: three o'clock on Wednesday at pch and Crown Valley Parkway, 397 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: and the crash was captured by a ring doorbell camera. 398 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: I was mounted in front of an ear by home. Now, 399 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: the man behind the wheel of the car stopped, exited 400 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: the vehicle and assaulted the victim that he had just hit. 401 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: Both were men. The victim was taken to a hospital 402 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: where he died. So A Channel seven spoke with a neighbor. 403 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: She said her family heard what sounded like a gunshot 404 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: before the attack. When they ran outside, they heard the suspect, 405 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: the guy driving the car, uttering racial slurs about white privilege. 406 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: The suspect is identified as van Roy Evans Smith. Witnesses 407 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: at the scene detained him and they think the suspect 408 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: used a knife in the attack. So the bike's Lucas 409 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: got hit by a car and then was attacked with 410 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: a knife by the driver. And this is on video, 411 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: at least some of it's on video. The guy who 412 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: was hit and was killed Michael John Mamone. He was 413 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: riding his bike northbound on PC when he was hit 414 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: from behind by Van roy Evan Smith after driving into 415 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: Mamon with his car. He got Smith got out of 416 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: the vehic called stabbed the bicyclist. Oh my god, just 417 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: got a second story in on this and mamone was 418 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: lying in the intersection with severe injuries when the deputy 419 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: showed up. Holy mackerel. They didn't seem to know each other. 420 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: The guy was just a psycho. That's terrible. One of 421 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: the stories that we have been covering. We had Blake 422 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: Trolley from KFI News report on this earlier and it 423 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: should get a lot of attention because you know, we've 424 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: had a number of shootings in the last few days 425 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: and one one massacre really was stopped at its tracks. 426 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: In Hollywood, there was a guy named Rocks. There is 427 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: a guy named Braxton Johnson. He's twenty four and he 428 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: was staying in an apartment in a high rise on 429 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: the eighteenth floor at Gordon Avenue near Sunset Boulevard. And 430 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: he was a crazy guy. But he had an apartment 431 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: and he was threatening a secure purity guard at the 432 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: front door who called the police. They thought it was 433 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: a mental illness call. The police eventually showed up. They 434 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: got into Johnson's apartment and they found that he had 435 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: a number of high powered rifles and more than a 436 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: thousand rounds of ammunition and two bulletproof vest. He had 437 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: floor to ceiling windows, and he had some of the 438 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: rifles pointed at the window. And down below would be 439 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: the courtyard. The park you know inside the building complex 440 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: is a dirt park with benches, and people who live 441 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: in the building would use that as their park sometimes. 442 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: From what we understand, you know, dozens of people down there, 443 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: and it looked like he was planning a mass shooting, 444 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: similar to what the guy in Las Vegas did some 445 00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: years ago. Great views from that window. You could see 446 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: the one on one well, great views if you want 447 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: to look at this stuff. But what I meant is 448 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: like it was a large viewing area since the windows 449 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: were Florida's ceiling, and you know, you want to stare 450 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 1: at the one on one Freeway all day, the Capitol 451 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: Records building, that's kind of nice, and then Hollywood Boulevard, 452 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: which of course is a human zoo. He had a 453 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: bolt action rifle at the police seized now that can 454 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: shoot a half a mile, So if he was a sharpshooter. 455 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: He could have picked off dozens of people. This guy 456 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: had come from back east where there was some violent 457 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: crime that he was charged with or being investigated for 458 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: back there. Nobody has any details, but it looked like 459 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: he was ready to go to battle. He at bulletproof vest, 460 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: so I guess he was going to start firing out 461 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: his window, pick people off, and then if he had 462 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: to deal with police. He had the bulletproof vest to 463 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: try to handle the incoming loaded assault rifers, rifles and 464 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: sniper rifle. He had an unobstructed view of the crowds below. 465 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: But LAPD for those of you defund the police bands, 466 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: LAPD swooped in and they nailed the guy before he 467 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: could pull off his massacre. All right, conways here Alex 468 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: Stone is coming on to talk about that exact same 469 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: story at four oh five, so less than ten minutes 470 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: from now. Alex Stone and then Eric Jones, the driver 471 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: of the number forty three car this Sunday at the 472 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: Clash at the Coliseum, that NASCAR race, it's like a 473 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: quarter mile track and they buzz around there. So he's 474 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: coming on. Yeah, he's coming on to talk about the 475 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: big race. Yeah, take doing with that guy. Can you 476 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: bet on that car? You can? Sure? Absolutely? Yeah, yeah, 477 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean I don't because it takes so long to 478 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: get there. You know, you're betting on a guy to 479 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: finish go five hundred miles at the racetrack. It's six furlongs. 480 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: It's much easier, much quicker. And then Dean Sharpe coming 481 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: on like he does every Thursday. Today's Groundhog Day, and 482 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: that puxtani Phil predicts six more weeks of this winter. 483 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: Six more weeks man, cold, cold, win dirt. It's only 484 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: for Pennsylvania, right, No, it's for a whole country. Don't 485 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: we have our own groundhog. I don't know. Our groundhog 486 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: is too high to come out. He's on a stone 487 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: ground on math or something. All right, thing with that groundhog, 488 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: Kway
