You have to have 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: to stay in there for years. You're right, it needs 23 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: a bed. That's an oversight.

I'm just 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: those days are gone for a lot of people, you know. 49 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: I pick on the people, you know who are baristas 50 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: at Starbucks after they took after they got a gender 51 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: equity degree. Those are the people I'm targeting. Your sons 52 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: don't have gender equity, no gender no gender equity degrees. No, No, 53 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: they were trained in something useful, classical Spanish literature degree. No, 54 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: nothing like that eighteenth century art. And you know what, 55 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: that's more respectable than the gender equity stuff. Yeah, I 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: guess that has. That used to be the degrees we 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: made fun of years ago with those kinds of degrees, 58 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: those liberal arts, weird things. But now, yeah, we've we've 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: gone into a new territory. Now the virtue signaling. Yeah, 60 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: an gender equity degree, yeah, now what about a racial 61 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: equity degree? All the Wolke degrees, yeah, well, the only 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: jobs you can get are to work in the what 63 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: do you call the human resources department at corporations, you know, 64 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: where they try to enforce artificial laws and diversity policies 65 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: on people. We'll have some reports on the storm. M 66 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: one weird story and I don't know it's directly well, 67 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: it probably was directly connected to the storm. And I've 68 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 1: noticed something lately in news reports. When an incident involves 69 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: a care it isn't just like you know, car crashes 70 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: into bridge. It's tesla. Like for instance, that Pasadena doctor 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: who plunged over the cliff in northern California off the Yeah, 72 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: tesla goes over cliff, right, Oh, I know, not just car, 73 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it's In this case, a Tesla plunged into 74 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: a pool in Pasadena. I guess whoever was driving well 75 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: because hit the accelerated start of the break. They went 76 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: through a wall and run into a pool. The progressive 77 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: jackals in the media now hate Elon Musk because he 78 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: took the Twitter playground. But this was a preferred vehicle 79 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: that that that flipped in't it? No, it's no, it's unpreferred. 80 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: Now now tesla is a bad word because of Elon Musk. 81 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: And he's refusing to block conservative people from Twitter, and 82 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: therefore he's public enemy number one and all his tesla's 83 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: are crashing and flying over cliffs. Oh yeah, maybe right. 84 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: The story I'm thinking of from last week was he 85 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: also going to do Times was the one that pointed 86 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: out was a tesla one over the cliff. So that's 87 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: their way of trying to reach to the back of 88 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: your mind and tell you it's not safe, right, don't 89 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: buy that car. They didn't mention in the first stories 90 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,119 Speaker 1: that it was a father trying to kill his entire 91 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: family and he purposely drove off the cliff. No, it 92 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: was the tail of the drove off the cliff. Yeah, 93 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: to make you think it self drove itself and Musk 94 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: is responsible. You know, the media bias nowadays is really 95 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: tricky and suddenly, well we didn't get that story last week, 96 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: but there was an opinion columnist with The Times who 97 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: did a story. He's embarrassed to drive his tesla now 98 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: because the Musk's behavior. He thinks his friends are gonna 99 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: look down on him. Oh, I should take that out 100 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: of funny. Who is that Bedwetder? I forget his name 101 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: is not a regular reporter that will talk about it. 102 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: But the thing is he's not embarrassed to publish that 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: under his name. No, no, can you imagine Can you 104 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: imagine you yourself writing a column and getting it published. 105 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: Can you imagine? Not too long ago, nobody would publish that, right, 106 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,239 Speaker 1: But now he gets it published in the el Segunder Times, 107 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: and he's complaining that his friends are going to think 108 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: badly of him because he's driving a Tesla and teslawn 109 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: by Elon Musk. And it was a complete one eighty 110 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: because a few years ago when he got the car, 111 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: it's like, look, I'm doing my part. I'm going all electric. 112 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: Forget you hybrid hacks, look at me. And now because 113 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: of Musk being being Trump like, because Musk is now Trump, right, 114 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: I know, I know that right now, I feel shamed. Yeah, 115 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: I feel shamed, he said so. So the fact that 116 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: he's created the best electric car on the planet to 117 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: point us away from fossil fuels no longer get get 118 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: zero credit for that now. It iss right, it's a leader. 119 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: It's just because he believes in free speech on his 120 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: privately owned Twitter for him, that exactly, that's that's the 121 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: that's the mortal sin that he's committed exactly. I was 122 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: just gonna try to look that one up here quickly 123 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: because it was a couple of lines in it that 124 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: were really Oh, I know, I was howling at that. 125 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: It's like, you foolish little twit. I'm so empowers. I'm 126 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: driving a Tesla, Andy. People are gonna think badly of me. Now. 127 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: It's all because of melon Musk. He's letting everybody express 128 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: their opinion instead of just the people I agree with. 129 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god, just hang me. Just give me a 130 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: rope and hang me. What a stupid world we're in, 131 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: all right. So, of course there's been some damage from 132 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: the storms. You probably also heard that a five year 133 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: old boy lost his life in rushing floodwaters near Apostle Robles. 134 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: This is a case of she was driving a truck 135 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: the mother it got stranded.

Witnesses pulled the woman too safety, but 139 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: the boy was swept out of the truck and carried 140 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: away with the rushing water, and the water likely flowed 141 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: into a nearby river seven hours and they only turned 142 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: up his shoe. They turned They called off the search 143 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: last night because it was just too dangerous for the 144 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: divers because, as you know, the storm that came in 145 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: last night was absolutely horrific.

We'll talk about it, John 167 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: and Ken caf I am sixty oh and the keywords 168 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: coming up next to your chance to one on a 169 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: thousand dollars caf I Am six forty live everywhere the 170 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,239 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. John Blumenthal is his name. He is apparently 171 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: a magazine writer who lives in Santa Monica, a former 172 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: magazine editor who wrote an opinion column for the El 173 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: Segundo Times. We had just mentioned I bought a Tesla 174 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: to help the environment. Now I'm embarrassed to drive it 175 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: because we're mentioning that. It seems like a certain media 176 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: outlets now like to mention the Tesla model when there's 177 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: a car involved in some tragedy, like driving off a 178 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: cliff or plunging into a pool in Pasadena, like one 179 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: did apparently yesterday. A few years ago, I bought a 180 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: used Tesla, not because I'm a car nut, because I 181 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: had been a hypocrite for years. I had been outspoken 182 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: about the dangers of carbon emissions, yet at the same 183 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: time I was driving an old gas powered heap that 184 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: got about twenty five miles per gallon. Sounded like a 185 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,599 Speaker 1: rocket launch every time I turned on the ignition. The 186 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: car was impractical, but it had sentimental value. Of this, 187 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: my environmental activist friends were not impressed by my assiduous 188 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: urban composting, my led bulb installations, and my energy saving appliances. 189 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: I needed to do more to diminish my carbon footprint. 190 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: The icebergs were melting, my friend said, and at least 191 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: one polar bear was wandering around homeless and hungry because 192 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: of me. That party was just having fun. Way, can 193 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: you imagine what it's like to be in this crowd? 194 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: Would you want to go to a party at Bloomenthal's house. 195 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: Many insisted that Tesla's were the best the environment, pricey, 196 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: but worth it. So I said goodbye to my gas 197 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: guzzler and I made the leap. Then he talks about 198 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: how it's a technical attack car. Yeah. But because of 199 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: the recent revelation of Elon Musk's political views, all of 200 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: which I abhor, abhor, I'm starting to worry about what 201 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: sort of political statement the car is making? Will people 202 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: now see me as a symbol of right wing environmentalism, 203 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: a living oxymron right wing environmentalism? No, not an oxymoron? 204 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Half that? Yeah, half that? Take off the oxy. You 205 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: need some oxycodote or something. Dude, you're really yeah, you're 206 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 1: really out there. This is what people with nothing to 207 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: do hand ring over. When I bought the car, I 208 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: had no real opinion on Musk's somewhat clouded political beliefs. 209 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: Now that Musk is apparently swung to the far right, 210 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: banning journalists from Twitter while reinstating neo Nazis, I'm horrified 211 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: to be associated with his brand whenever I drive anywhere. 212 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: So how long before his friends started mocking him? What 213 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: a set of friends. You know what, if somebody was 214 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: scolding me about what car I was driving and the 215 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: politics of the guy who owns the car company, I'd 216 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: throw them down the stairs, like hell out of here, 217 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: Get out of the house, moron, I don't care what 218 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: you think. And the thing is he was trying to 219 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: impress them with urban composting. Well, I urban compost, isn't 220 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: that good enough for you? Look? I screw in led 221 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: light bulbs. I'll get all the energy saving appliance is 222 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: I own, and you're upset over my Tesla. Imagine that 223 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: dinner is sitting there, drinking their wine, discussing who is 224 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: the most environmentally proper the Correnian did. Yeah. No, What 225 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: is what is Musk up to with his acquisition destruction 226 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: of Twitter? That's the end of the world time, public 227 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: city political power. Musk has turned Twitter into an unsupervised 228 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: playground for neo Nazis, another random heat mongers, and blackendoodle 229 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: qan On followers. Given Musk's political descent into the dark side, 230 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: I wonder whether I should sell my Tesla as a 231 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: form of protest. How would that adversely affect Musk? Not 232 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: at all? Really, the sale of a used Tesla would 233 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: hardly cause a blip for the company, even if I 234 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: were part of the vasque movement and many other politically 235 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: aware would be would be Tesla owners opted for other 236 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: newer evs. Would a blow to Tesla stock really change 237 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: every anything about Musk's politics? There would be collateral damage. 238 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: How many people would lose their jobs if people stop 239 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: buying Tesla's Oh my god, what a mental illness? I 240 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: don't know whether to sell. But I do know I'm 241 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: just not as comfortable driving it anymore. Yet. It's a 242 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: beautifully designed car with no carbon emissions. And initially I 243 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: was proud of owning it and being seen driving a 244 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: vehicle displayed by concern for the environment. That was years ago. 245 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: You mocked the priest people for being this, Remember that 246 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: they were the start of That's that's what they were 247 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: actually thought. They were driving around proud. Look what I'm doing. 248 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: I'm sending a message. Then it became wearing masks. But 249 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: if but I'm liberal, and if Musk policies don't change 250 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: radically for the better, driving a Tesla would become, at 251 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: least from me, a hypocritical and untenable. It's driving a 252 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: gas cos Okay, well, I guess maybe you shouldn't drive anything. 253 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Maybe you got to go to a skateboard. Does he 254 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: know the political views of all the other CEOs? Yes, 255 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: that's true. There are a lot of zero emission vehicles 256 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: out there now, but he'd have to make sure that 257 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: he's not driving down the same bad road. What's the 258 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: CEO of GM? What are what are his politics? Or 259 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: Ford or Toyota? Do we know they don't make the 260 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: news the way Musk does. So wow, these people should 261 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: be put on a ship and sent to an island. 262 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: What headaches? Well, I mean, how prissy can you get? 263 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: Oh it's yeah really? Oh oh what are people thinking 264 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: of me? Well? I had my friends over. We were 265 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: having an urban composting party. All right, we'll have more 266 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: coming up.

It's a wild change from just a 269 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: year ago when we had about one hundred billion dollars 270 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: surplus thanks to a pretty good economy, not economy so 271 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: much by the stock market, as well as federal money 272 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: that came in.

Yeah, and there was no 329 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: dirt underneath it. Yeah, and holding you up it's not easy. Well, 330 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: I knew we were going there, so you really could 331 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: have been. It took longer than your thought, yet longer 332 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: than I thought, so you would have created another stinghole. 333 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I could keep going. And I go. 334 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: And I told the photog, I said, when did they 335 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: pull the cars out? And he goes, the cars are 336 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: still in there? I said where? And they had gotten 337 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: If you saw the footage, an amazing footage last night. 338 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: And as you mentioned John at the top, that the 339 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: first the car went in, and then the pickup and 340 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: on top of it, so they sandwiched on top of 341 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: each other. And then when fire got there, the guy 342 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: the two in the pickup were able to get out 343 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: on their own. They get out and climb up and out, 344 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: but unfortunately, the thirty year old woman and the fourteen 345 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: year old girl were still trapped in the car, so 346 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: fire was getting down there. And as they were first 347 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: trying to get down there, they were trying to use 348 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: a more I guess, a more common method, and they 349 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: put ladders across the hole the sinkhole, creating sort of 350 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: a brace, and they were going to go down that way, 351 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: and then the cars started to shift because by now 352 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: water is still pouring into that sinkhole. That's scary, and 353 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: so when they realized that thing was still shifting, then 354 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: they had to kind of rethink everything and they did 355 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: what they call it. They're more of a dynamic rescue, 356 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: and they call it a high angle rope rescue, and 357 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: that's when they take the like a ladder truck and 358 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: they put the ladder truck over it and then they 359 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: kind of do a pulley system and pull the rope 360 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: over the ladder the rungs of the ladder right and 361 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: then they go down in there and then they can 362 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: pull up the rescuer and picked him at the same time. 363 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: And that's how they had to get the woman and 364 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: the girl out. So there's the woman and the girl 365 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: have to cling to the rope. They cling to the 366 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: person to the firefight. They put him in a harness 367 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: and then they hug him and then they pull them 368 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: up out of there. I used to take it some 369 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: time to Yes, it's very well. They were running out 370 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: of time because those cars were shifting and water were 371 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: still pouring in and that was so unstable that soil 372 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: under there. So what had happened is now there's just 373 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: this big cavernous hole underneath this asphalt area and the 374 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: areas around. And by the time I went back to 375 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: the truck, and I was on all morning with news 376 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: and the talk shows. By the time we were getting 377 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: ready to leave from there, the area that I had 378 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: been standing on had already dipped down and was ready 379 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: to collapse. Oh no, so it was. It's Is this 380 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: a well traveled road. Yeah, it's on Iverson Road up 381 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: in Chatsworth and it's sort of an entrance. There's a 382 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: big church complex right off the road there. It's a 383 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: bit of a hillside. This is on a downward slope 384 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: the road and it goes right up to a gated community. 385 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: I also an exposed pipe running through the sinkhole. Is 386 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: that a water piper? Yeah, it's water pipe. In fact, 387 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: Lost Virginis Metropolitan Water District had to come up and 388 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: shirt off water. Apparently there were shut off valves near 389 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: that area, and they came up with big tools and 390 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: they were shutting the water down right in the middle. 391 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: I mean, then a downpour happened and they were shutting 392 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: off the water to make sure that they didn't lose 393 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: a new water in any kind of a break. Did 394 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: we know how this happens these kind of sinkholes? What 395 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: are the factors that can cause something like this. Well, 396 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: it's usually just running water and it usually erodes everything 397 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: underneath it and eventually just settles. And uh, you know, 398 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: is there like an underground creek that would watch there? 399 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: Is now there? I mean seriously, we kneel down and 400 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: now there's a creek running down this riding through the sinkhole, 401 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: and the and the car and the pickup are down 402 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: further down in the mud underneath the sidewalk. Because our 403 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: old house that we lived eight years ago, we didn't 404 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: know there was an underground creek at the top of 405 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: a slope in our backyard, right, and when we had 406 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: a winter like this, This would be like two thousand 407 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: and five. Suddenly we had springs like shooting up out 408 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: of the top because the water had risen so high 409 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: it had nowhere else to go, And now we had 410 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: all this spring like effect shooting into the air. So 411 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: as it timed like the one in Yellowstone. It's tied. 412 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: Every time you get a month's worth of rain, go 413 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: out every day at once. Oh and then and then 414 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: somebody in the neighborhood's totally separate said, oh, you know, 415 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of underground springs here in the neighborhood. 416 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, I just found that out. We 417 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: haven't see You would think someone would know that before 418 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: they start building on. Oh yeah, they never told us 419 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: when we bought the place. Yeah, So I don't know 420 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: what the deal is here, because the road comes down 421 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 1: a hillside on the edge of a hillside, and then 422 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: all the water shooting up created a cascading effect down 423 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: a set as stairs we had and dragged all the 424 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: dirt into our pool, and our pool turned chocolate and 425 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: we had to pile up sandbags to stop the flow 426 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: which started with the springs. So, I mean it's the 427 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: cleanup must have been a little when you get completely saturated, 428 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: all sorts of weird things start happening. Yeah, oh yeah. 429 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: And like in this case here we were laughing because 430 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: when we when we were driving back down the rest 431 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: of the hill and then going down the road to 432 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: get back out onto the one eighteen, I laughed. I said, 433 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: by this time tomorrow, those two cars could be at 434 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: the bottom of the hill the hard way, you know, 435 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: through the dirt. But but if a woman and the 436 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: teen are okay or date minor injuries taking to the 437 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: hospital as a precaution, But the other two were fine, no, 438 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: no indication that there's anything wrong with them. So and 439 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: were they moving at the time the sinkhole collapsed? Where 440 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: they would stop that it stops now something in the 441 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: middle of this road that comes out of this gated community. 442 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: So they were headed down the hill. How did was 443 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: it one or two people in the truck, two in 444 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: the truck and two in the car. How did the 445 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: people in the truck climb out of that hole? Because 446 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: they were on top, they were on top, so the 447 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: closer to the top of the they hadn't sunk down 448 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: yet and they were able to get out and um 449 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: and just lifting onto the asphaltll crawl out on the 450 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: truck and probably jump over the hood of the truck 451 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: and then out onto the pavement because the hood and 452 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: the ab of the pickup were still above the pavement, right, 453 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: And when they were able to get out, you know, 454 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: climb up and over and then get out on their 455 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: own like that. But then by the time fire got there, 456 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: that truck had already sunk down. They were fifteen feet 457 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: below by that point. That's really scary, it is. And 458 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: when I said, where's the car in the truck, and 459 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: you're like, you can't see it anymore. It's gone. I'm serious. 460 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: It's like a black hole. It's a cavalist black hole. Yeah. No, 461 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: I saw it TV that the cars were pretty deep 462 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: in the hole, because at first, when I was watching 463 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: the video earlier, I thought they pulled the cars out already. Yeah, 464 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and the camera had to go down and 465 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 1: deeper over to the left because the cars had shifted over. Well. 466 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: I think the advantage point they got last night because 467 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: there's a bridge right over that road, and I think 468 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: they were up on the bridge shooting down from that 469 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: and that's how they got that great shot last night. Yeah, 470 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: all right, Steve Thank you very much, guys, and don't 471 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: don't sink holes and chatsworth. I learned about that. And 472 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: I don't have a tender profile either. Okay, all right, 473 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: we'll pull that up. We'll check it and confirm that 474 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: I work. Coming up John again, Cafe. I am six forty. 475 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio WAC coming up after two o'clock. 476 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: We do have a replacement for the LA City council 477 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: member that John loved the most, Mike Bonnen. Her name 478 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: is Tracy Parks. She took over this year as the 479 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: council member for Los Angeles on the West Side, which 480 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: includes some sections around Culver City. And we're going to 481 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: talk next our to a listener who has put together 482 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: a petition. This is another place where and I have 483 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: seen this and it is a big change from not 484 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: that long ago. There was like a path. I guess 485 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: it's a bike path in between the two directions on 486 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: Culver Boulevard in a section of Culver City that is 487 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: now overrun by encampments. This used to be a pretty 488 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: nice place. I remember driving by and thinking that it's 489 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: a nice place for a walk or a jog, and 490 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: then I guess it was a couple of months ago. 491 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: I drove past and I'm like, oh my god, go 492 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: someone had told me about it. I couldn't believe all 493 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: the tents and debris. So we'll talk to this person 494 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: coming up after the news at two o'clock and looks like, John, 495 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to play your emergency sounder again because 496 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: now it's the County of La that's declared an emergency 497 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: on homelessness. They all discarding the city, They all discovered 498 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: the homelessness this past week or two. Yeah, they did. 499 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: Why what was all going to join together and declare 500 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: an emergency because you know that plays well in the media. Yeah, 501 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: so this is virtue signaling? Is this like a fancy hashtag? 502 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: It sent out the message that we care, we're aware. Yeah, 503 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: just sending out a message. This is that. This is 504 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: what I am afraid of is they're getting a lot 505 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: of headlines that gives the impression that they're going to 506 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: get the homeless off the streets. But it's just declarations. 507 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: All right. Now, here's a piece of audio from old 508 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: Joe that would be President Biden. As you know, he 509 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: made a visit to El Paso, Texas on his way 510 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: to Mexico for a summit with the President of Mexico 511 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: and the Prime Minister of Canada. It was a very 512 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: brief quote bord Or visit. But while he was there, 513 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: he apparently visited a migrant service center. That's what they 514 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: call it now, federally funded Migrant Service Center for your car, 515 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: the Migrant Support Center Migrants now Passo County. What we're 516 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: gonna play doesn't have much to do with that, but 517 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: apparently he was told as he visited the center, you're 518 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: now going to meet some Salvation Army workers who were 519 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: here at the center. It looks like old Joe mixed 520 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: them up with, of all things, the Secret Service. I'm 521 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: not sure I get it either. Here's a piece of audio. Yeah, 522 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: that's very low, but I'll read it for you. The 523 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: person introducing Biden to the Salvation Army worker. And you 524 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: know they do kind of wear uniforms. Yeah, I'm not 525 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: excusing this because the circus Service guys don't normally, Well, 526 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: there's a Salvation Army so and she said, and now 527 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: here we have folks in the Salvation Army. And that's 528 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: Biden kind of leaning in in his weak voice. He 529 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: spent some time with the Secret Service in Poland and 530 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and then he pauses, not the Secret Service, 531 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: the Salvation Army. Well, of course he did. He spends 532 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: time with the Secret Service service every day, every day. 533 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: Why why as vice president probably a senator, I don't 534 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: know why Poland and Ukraine And he says this to 535 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: the Salvation Army guy. Did he think he was in 536 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: Europe somewhere or did he or did he mean or 537 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: did he mean that he met Salvation Army people in 538 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: Poland and Ukraine too, but he called them secret Service. 539 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: I guess it's hard to wap it's hard to figure 540 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: out what did Grandpa mean by that? In a confused mind. 541 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: I think some times he just decides he wants to 542 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: say something and he's not going to go off his 543 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: own brain script, right, And he just wanted to say 544 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: something about the Secret Service and he's shaking the guy's 545 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: hand from the Salvation Army. Was there a real guy though, 546 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: or was he shaking air? Oh? No, you haven't seen 547 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: the video. There is a guy. Oh, there is a guy. Okay, 548 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,719 Speaker 1: here's a guy with glasses and he's got the outfit 549 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: on you. So it wasn't one of his imaginary friends. No, 550 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: this time it wasn't. It was an actual person in 551 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: front of him. He's shaking his hand. Who must be bewildered? 552 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: Secret Service. Now then he goes home and he goes, 553 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: he goes gladdish. He really is senile. It's really gone. 554 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: He thought I was a secret Service. I learned first 555 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: hand that this man is not there. Yeah, yesterday we 556 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: told you that there is an idea being floated from 557 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: Biden's Consumer Products Safety Commission to get rid of your 558 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: gas stove. Well, there's been some blowback. A man with 559 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: a disturbingly bad mustache named Richard Trump could junior. I 560 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen the picture, John, it's in 561 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: the post this afternoon. He's got like the little thick 562 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: brush mustache onto face. Those guys are really suspicious. He 563 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: has immediately said, well, no, no, no, this is not 564 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: what we're talking. We're not going to take anybody's gas 565 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: stove away. Of course, the proposal was that they are 566 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: a hidden hazard in your home, emitting dangerous toxic gases 567 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: that can give you cancer, childhood asthma. That is well such. 568 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: The immediately heard from politicians like a congressman named Gary 569 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: Palmler from Alabama. Over forty million American households use gas stoves. 570 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: This type of power should never be given to unelected bureaucrats. 571 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: It's time for it to end. So that got Trump 572 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: could have said no, no, no, this would probably just 573 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: be about new stoves. No, how about we have freedom 574 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: to choose how we want to heat our food and 575 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: stop with the phony studies because they're because what they 576 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: want to do is they want to get rid of 577 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: the use of natural gas. That's what they want is 578 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: most people see no problem with that natural gas, so 579 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: they have to up the anti and come up with 580 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: something more compelling. Well, it gives children cancer. How about 581 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: that it does not give children cancer? You stupid liar. 582 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: Why don't you be honest about what you want to do. 583 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,719 Speaker 1: You want to take away people's freedom on how they 584 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: heat their food like this is these are these are 585 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: really our Nazis. They crowd storm into people's homes and 586 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: say you will not you will not cook by gas, 587 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: you will cook by electric because we say so. If 588 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: we point it out yesterday, the answer is simply ventilation. 589 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: Turn on the hoods, show me one person who got cancer, 590 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: because they know you're right. It's not about the cancers. 591 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: It's about trying to get rid of natural gas. This 592 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: is what they do because because they either invoke racism 593 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: or they claim you're killing children, and it's all fake, 594 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: it's all lies, it's made up because they're having trouble 595 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: selling to normal people the idea that we can't use 596 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: oil and gas natural gas anymore. And you know the 597 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: thing is, I read a story today that ten years 598 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: ago these same groups were pushing natural gas because it 599 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: was a much cleaner alternative to oil. Yea, yeah, and 600 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: remember that that's right. And this is what I'm saying. 601 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: They're never satisfied. They work incrementally, year by year, and 602 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: if you agree to one thing, one restriction, they're going 603 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: to come back with another, and another and another. And 604 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: like natural gas is in when they want to ban oil, 605 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: then they want to ban natural gas. And then they're 606 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: going to tell you that you can't use electricity because 607 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: you need oil and natural gas to create the electricity 608 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: or water, which is right. So then they want you 609 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: to build a fire in your backyard and cook your 610 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: meat like cavemen do. Coming up next, whenever we hear 611 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: about people out there who are trying to fight homeless encampments, 612 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: We're willing to step up.
