But then you fumbled the football, 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: you made it onto the field. I'm in, I'm in 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: an irritated mood. I booked a flight this morning, I 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: guess we're not going to stop you from explaining, on 24 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: one of the major airlines, and booked it under one 25 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: under my name, one under my wife's name. We were 26 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: using miles, so I made two bookings right so I 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: could use my miles, she could use her miles, and 28 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: picked a seat for me, picked a seat for her, 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: and it confirmed my selection. A flight, confirmed my seats, 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: set me the email, and then there's a little warning 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: at the top saying we were unable to confirm your 32 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: seat selection. Go back and do it again now. They 33 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: charged me for the seat because I got the you know, 34 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: the premium economy wette more legram, So they charged me 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: like thirteen dollars each for the seats. So they took 36 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: the money and they had this right seat listed on 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: my reservation. But then they told me, well it didn't 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: really take and I tried mine and I got through 39 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: and fixed it. I tried my wife's. I got through, 40 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: but it wouldn't fix it over and over again, so 41 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: I called up I called up customer service. Calling the 42 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: airlines is just horrible these days. Got a guy in 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: India and he told you that no I knew. Forty 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: seven minutes. All I needed him to do was to 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: put twelve D into the program. All right, I already 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: paid for twelve D. It's already listed as confirmed for 47 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: twelve D. But it didn't stick. It just put twelve 48 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: D in there. Forty seven minutes and he couldn't do it. 49 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: And he got off the phone at least four times 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: to talk to the back office. What back office? He's 51 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: an India. Where is the back office? He just gets 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: on another phone and talks to somebody in Sri Lanka. 53 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: I mean, what is what is this mysterious back office? Well, 54 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: there's probably somebody who helps these people. There must be 55 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: a hotline they call that maybe if they can't figure 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: something out, they called this hotline in the US and 57 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: find out something. At the thirty five minute mark, when 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: he got on just to see if I was still there, 59 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: and he was hoping I wasn't, I said, um, He goes, well, 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: I have to talk to the back office. Still. I go, well, 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: what are they doing there? Because it's over half an 62 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: hour and there was this long pause. I said, are 63 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: they picking up the phone? He goes, no, no, they're not. 64 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: They're not taking my call yet. So he put me 65 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: on a hold for a half hour. Because he was 66 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: on hold for a half an hour, and he kept 67 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: coming on every ten minutes to tell me, yes, he's 68 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: talking to the back office. I go, it's just, what's 69 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the hell? Airline? Is this one of the big ones, 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: all right? And like one of the off brands, no, no, no, 71 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: thiss one of the big ones tied to one of 72 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: our credit cards. It's where we get the miles on it. 73 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, they don't want it to be easy 74 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: for you to redeem the miles. It's always a lot 75 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: of hoops. Whenever I do that, it's annoying too God, 76 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: and and and then you start telling me that, like 77 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: the blackout flights, they give you all these hoops to 78 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: run through. And then he's telling he's telling me, well, 79 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: well we're running we're running updates. Now, we're running updates. 80 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: I go, I don't know where you are. I knew 81 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: where he was because I don't know where you are. 82 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: And he was very quiet. But here in Los Angeles, 83 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: it's ten in the morning. What are you running updates 84 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: at midday in America during business hours? Like, what are 85 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: you doing? And what can't you? Man? Who really put 86 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: it in? No, I can't do that. That's probably overnight 87 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: in India. That's really where. Yeah, and did you ask 88 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: him when he thinks of Garsetti? I thought i'd throw 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: that in. He may be your ambassador soon, that's right, 90 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: maybe maybe, but I mean it's just a seat forty 91 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: seven minutes and they couldn't do And then he goes, well, 92 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: call back in three hours, call it back in three hours. 93 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: I would have just I would not have held on. 94 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: I would have just started over with a new person. 95 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: Maybe you'd get better. Luck well, you'd be on hold 96 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: for four Well, I was doing my reading this morning. 97 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: I had it on the background, and after a certain point, 98 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: I get really amused by this. Yeah, and that becomes 99 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: a show. Yeah right, yeah, this will give me something 100 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: to kill five minutes on the show. And you're right, 101 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: and I actually did that.

Yeah. 170 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: Do you want a group of employees who work in 171 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: the back office, back in the bus, the back of 172 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: the class. I want the people in the front office. 173 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: They're in charge. People in the back office aren't gonna 174 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: help me. They couldn't even help themselves. They ended up 175 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: in the back office. Come it up in a few minutes, 176 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: you'll have a shot at money with the inflation vacation keyword. 177 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: Here's one of the stories today that we have to 178 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: talk about. First, I guess I would call this and 179 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: so it begins. Apparently, after last week's big hoopla over 180 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: turning in seven hundred and seventeen thousand signatures to the 181 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: La County Registrar voters to affect a recall of La 182 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: County DA George Gascone, we have already lost one thousand, 183 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven over the weekend. The LA 184 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: County Registrar's office says we got seven hundred and fifteen thousand, 185 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: eight thirty three signatures submitted. H So did they count 186 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: wrong at the Gascone recall offices? They're off by one thousand, 187 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven signatures or they rounding when 188 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: they said seven hundred and seventeen thousand. That's an odd 189 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: thing to round two. And the time says the recall 190 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: campaign says it turned in more than seven hundred and 191 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand, But I just looked up the press release 192 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: seven seventeen. Yeah, the number they use with seven seventeen. 193 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: So now we know what's next, and it's going to 194 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: take until it looks like almost mid August for them 195 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: to verify signatures. But right now, I took out the 196 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: calculator and if they're claiming they have seven hundred and 197 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand, eight hundred and thirty three signatures, twenty percent 198 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: is right. There is the number that can be declined. 199 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: If they decline and invalidate more than about twenty percent 200 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: of those signatures, this recalls are not happening because they 201 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: need five hundred and sixty six thousand, eight hundred and 202 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: fifty seven valid signatures. So I did the math on 203 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: that register number. It's about where it's six. If you 204 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: go to twenty one percent disqualified, it comes out five 205 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five thousand. We're not gonna make it, 206 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: so yeah, well, and twenty percent we thought was the 207 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: top threshold, but there were some experts that think all 208 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: bigger percentages have been disqualified. And I've seen thirty percent disqualify. Well, yeah, okay, 209 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: you could go to find some extreme outlier in some 210 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: rural county. Sure, and by the way, it's in the 211 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: ELSA under time's best interest to find the outlier and 212 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: use that to use that to highlight We have this 213 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: piece of audio which we thought you might enjoy dealing 214 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: with the recall. It's from Fox eleven and apparently the 215 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: woman who wants to be LA's next mayor, Karen Bass, 216 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: that's a good reporter. Question was asked if she, who 217 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: campaigned for gascon to fight off the recall, listen to 218 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: this answer. Well, let me just tell you that my 219 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: plan is to build the coalition that we have been 220 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: working on, to unite all of the various parts of 221 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: our community, and to win the mayor's race. So my 222 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: focus is going to be on the race. I'm not 223 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: going to be focused on on the recall. But you know, 224 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: the recall has to pass the most significant kurdle will 225 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: it even qualify. We don't know that is even going 226 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: to be the case, and I will tell you that 227 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: it is doubtful. From what I've talked to people, it 228 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: is doubtful that the recall will qualify. My focus is 229 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: going to be on the see she's got the in there. 230 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: They've regis Star voters and said, don't worry, that's not 231 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: gonna qualify. Well, after all, you had your name scrub 232 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: from the Stand with Gascone website already. She is Gascone's 233 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: biggest fan. She campaigned, she supported him, He campaigned for 234 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: with her. When she announced that she was running for mayor, 235 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: he was showed up right at the kickoff rally. So 236 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: they're brother and sister there. They're on the same side 237 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: of letting criminals run a muck and it doesn't care 238 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: how many people get killed. She is that kind of politician. 239 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: Don After she announced she was running from mayor, she 240 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: had her name in a picture scrub from his website 241 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Stand with gascon riped it up because her operatives or 242 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: she herself decided that's not gonna help me right right. 243 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: So now, and she's asked the question, it's like, first 244 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: she does the dance, I'm going to bring all parts 245 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: of the community together. Oh my god. That's what Biden 246 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: did when he was running for president. No're gonna be 247 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: a united never never vote for anybody who talks like that, 248 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: who talks in that from the script, did you just 249 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: mentioned with the She doesn't. She doesn't care listen to 250 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: what she's saying. She doesn't think there's any urgency to 251 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: get rid of Gascone, even after Gascone let out that 252 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: that criminal who murdered the two Almonty cops. Right even 253 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: after he let out a criminal who murdered two Almonte cops. 254 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: She doesn't see any any energy that she should expend 255 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: towards hoping he gets recalled. She could come out and 256 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: say I wish he would resign. That's what she should 257 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: come and say, just you know, for the sake of 258 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: the memory of the cops, he ought to resign. That 259 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: was that was egregious, That was disgusting. She's not doing that. 260 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: She's on the side of Gascone. She's on the side 261 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: of the criminals. Well, what is this From what I've heard, 262 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: it's probably not going to qualify. It's very suspicious. Well, 263 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: where's what I understand. Where's the reporter saying who told 264 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: you that? Yeah, where'd you get that information? Yeah? Who 265 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: told you that? Well, you know that there's seven one 266 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen thousand signatures and twenty percent is going 267 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: to be invalid. You know that? How do you know that? What? What? 268 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: What information do you? This says I'm saying, she's that's 269 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: a kind of stupid statement, right, I've heard, I've heard, 270 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: You've heard from who. But by the way, that The 271 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: Times is reporting that they are going to use the 272 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: sampling method with the signatures. They're going to take a 273 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: random sample of five percent to try to determine if 274 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: it meets the threshold. So that also sounds suspicious. Will 275 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: it be so random? Yeah? About the petition pages where 276 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: it looks the dirtiest and the sloppiest and the weirdest. 277 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: Is that whole process a black box that we outsiders 278 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: can't see how they're doing it. I would think, I remember, 279 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: they let people observe the ballot counting in some of 280 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: the elections. You would think that the recall people will 281 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: be able to stand there and watch them do this process. 282 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know how. I don't. I wouldn't. 283 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't trust. I don't trust the registrar's office and 284 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: the guy who runs that office. No, he came here 285 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: from Seattle, from King's County in Seattle under a class out. 286 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: So I'm not trusted that guy. We got more to come. 287 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: As soon as we come back, you'll have a keyword 288 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: that you can enter at the website and perhaps win 289 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: that thousand dollars. John and Ken K five. So you 290 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: may have been hearing this news story last week. This 291 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: was also a story, and they've been the week before that. 292 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: Suddenly there is a rash of seven eleven robberies. But 293 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: four separate shootings were reported at seven eleven stores across 294 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: southern California, and at least three could be connected. There 295 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: was one in Brea, a seven eleven store at Lambert 296 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: Road in North Brea Boulevard just after four am. I 297 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: feel bad for if you have to work the overnight 298 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: at like a convenience store. Wow, that just feels so exposed, 299 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: so dangerous. Just don't take that job. There's twelve million 300 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: job openings. There's gotta be something better than I think 301 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: that would be the big quick category, right right, yeah, exactly. 302 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: I can imagine there's somebody actually showing up for the 303 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: overnight shift. Why would you do that? And they think 304 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: that shooting is connected. To another shooting that left at 305 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: least two people injured at a seven eleven in La Habra. 306 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: So they were leasing surveillance images. They're robbing, they're shooting. 307 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: Apparently they are. Why not just rob Maybe there's a resistance. 308 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: Santa Annas police said there was also a shooting at 309 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: a seven eleven in that city. A man was killed 310 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: three twenty five am on that store at E's seventeen Street. 311 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: And finally in Riverside, a customer was shot at one 312 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: fifty am. You notice the times with all these you 313 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: don't want to be a customer in a seven eleven 314 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: fifty twenty five am or four am. I almost never 315 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: go into a seven eleven once the sun sets, I know. 316 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you just don't. Sometimes people are out partying 317 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: or whatever and just stop on their way home for 318 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: a munchie or there's a drink. There's a pizza shot 319 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: near me that I go pick pizza up at and 320 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: it's next to a couple of doors from a seven eleven. 321 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: And man, that is a bad crowd. That really is 322 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: a bad crowd. Now, also this story, which we may 323 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: be talking to the Eli County Sheriff about later on 324 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: in the show. We told you recently that the West 325 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: Hollywood government, the City Council, has voted to cut back 326 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: on the Elli County Sheriff's deputies patrolling West Hollywood. Instead, 327 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: they want to replace them with security ambassadors. I love 328 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: to say it that way, Security ambassadors. Well, weehoeville dot com, 329 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: that's the name of the website. Whoville is reporting that. 330 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: The leader and I guess this is called the block 331 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: by Block program of who is blocked by block program 332 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: actually served eight plus years in prison for voluntary manslaughter. Well, 333 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy you want to put in. 334 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: He's in charge of the ambassadors. Apparently he is, Yes, 335 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh my god, he was. His name is Shay Gibson. 336 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: He was charged with murder and armed robbery and something 337 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: that happened in Georgia in nineteen ninety five. The prosecutors 338 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: shows not to pursue those charges in lieu of voluntary 339 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: manslaughter for which he was killed. The convicted he killed somebody. 340 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: It sounds like it. Yes, So this character killed somebody 341 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: and now he's running the ambassador program in West Hollywood. Yes, 342 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna have thirty security ambassadors. It's called block by 343 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: Block and that's what they're doing with the funding they're 344 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: gonna save from the Sheriff's department by cutting back police patrols. 345 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: City officials, including the then mayor Lindsay Horvath, have been 346 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: aware of this in September twenty twenty one, so they 347 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: even knew. Well, they want to give felons a chance 348 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: x X cons so murderers, Yeah, because killers they need 349 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: the most help. You give them a chance to and 350 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: you put him in charge of a city program. We're 351 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: giving him a chance, this city program that's security related exactly. 352 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: It's not like he's working in the file office. This 353 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: guy's second chance should be overnight at seven to eleven, 354 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: all right, that's what he's qualified for. Yeah, it doesn't 355 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: say what the armed robbery was. Was it a seven 356 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: to eleven on a March of ninety five? Well, since 357 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: he's been on the other side of armed robberies, why 358 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: not put him on defense. That's really bizarre. Uh. Yeah. 359 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: An email shows that the city council members had prior 360 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: knowledge of his record before voting to defund the sheriff 361 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: and add additional moneys to block block Block. It is 362 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: really under this guy's command. It is really anything goes 363 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's absolutely no standards. Guy gets convicted of 364 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: killing somebody, Yeah, let's put him in charge of security. 365 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: What and and they and they've covered this up for 366 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: almost a year. And this Lindsay Horbath. She was running 367 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: for one of the supervisor seats. Yeah she is. Is 368 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: she in the runoff? She is in the runoff. She's in. 369 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: She wants to make against Bob Hurt. Holy crap, that's 370 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: to replaced lab. She'llakul that's right, that's your oh much. 371 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: My district. She's running to be supervisor in my district. 372 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: And she appointed a killer to run the West Hollywood 373 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: Ambassador Bro, but you hate mister. No bail I do 374 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: no bail Bob. It's no bail Bob against this crackpot 375 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: and funny story about her last week in the El 376 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: Segundo Times. She has scrubbed from her official online political 377 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: resume that she was on the West Hollywood City Council. 378 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: You know, there's probably other dark stories. If they're hiring 379 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: killers to run the security program, then there's other awful 380 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: stuff there. She's apparently thinking that the voters wouldn't want 381 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: a West Hollywood politician for the l A Board of 382 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: Supervisor I'm thinking that's what she's thinking, that maybe you 383 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: want to just play that down in fact, scrubbing completely 384 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: from the website. Well, West Hollywood's much cleaner than the 385 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: surrounding LA, you would think. So when I've driven through there, 386 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: I see far less homeless. Yeah, but remember they had 387 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: those two terrible incidents last year where that guy was 388 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: it was sexually assault two women. Remember those stories. Yeah, 389 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: like the same day tried to drag him. One he 390 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: chased into her park and the other way and tried 391 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: to drag into our garage. I don't I don't you 392 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: know what. There's so many people not paying attention, and 393 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: that's why it's so far gone. In no other time 394 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: would a mayor feel comfortable appointing a killer to run 395 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: a safety security program. Nobody would do that. Do you 396 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: look at the stack of resumes and say, all right, 397 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: come on, he killed somebody? No, just say you know, 398 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: you wouldn't even look you just look at Oh, felony 399 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: conviction of manslaughter, no down for murder. We'll see if 400 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: we can dig up the sheriff to comment on this later. 401 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: Apparently he made us aware of this story away. I'd 402 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: like to know exactly what the what it was the robbery? Yes, 403 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: what what were the details of the robbery? What was 404 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: the big idea he had that day before he killed somebody? Yeah, 405 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: this happened in Georgia. Oh my god, it says West 406 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Hollywood last week decided to move a significant amount of 407 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: its public safety budget for the next two years into 408 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: the hands of the block by block program run by 409 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: this guy, run by this guy. So he suddenly became 410 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,479 Speaker 1: in charge of a significant amount of public safety. This 411 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: is money, I guess that's uh. This is part of 412 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: the defund the police movement. He is officially the operations 413 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: manager of the Block by Block operations manager. All right, 414 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: we got more coming up. Chan and Ken show cafe. Oh, 415 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stories today for Bidenville that 416 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: will happen at three h five The New York Times. 417 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: Two things. They did a poll sixty four percent of 418 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: Democrats think Biden should step aside Democrats. Okay, not everybody pulled, 419 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: not significant. And they ran a story talking to staffers 420 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: whether or not Biden's losing it. We'll tell you what 421 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: the staffers told the Times anonymously. Anonymously yes, and so 422 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: you know what the answer is. Will since they told spnonymously. 423 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: It's a mix. It's probably not what you think on 424 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 1: certain aspects of his singing. You could tell, though, if 425 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: you read the quotes, which which ones are lying, because 426 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: the lies are over the top lies. All right, So 427 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: on the subject of spending money on the mentally ill, 428 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: and of course that's really all about the homeless here 429 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: in California, we take you back on the John and 430 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: Ken Show to the year two thousand and four. Two 431 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: thousand and four, that's right, Proposition sixty three, which we 432 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: told you to vote no on. This was the one 433 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: percent millionaires tax to fundamental health services. Let you know 434 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: what it is with people. It's rich people. F them, 435 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: sprew them, tax them, better them than me. They're rich, 436 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: they're bad. Fety nine billion dollars has come in from 437 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 1: Proposition sixty three. Take a look around. Do you think 438 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: this were less mentally ill people on the streets than 439 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: there were in two thousand and four? Who wants to 440 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: have an opinion on that? Prop sixty three is one 441 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: of the biggest failures among many, many huge failures here 442 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: in California. This is long before prop hha h all 443 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: that crap that we've had in the last ten years 444 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: this and here comes the kicker. Unfortunately or fortunately, this 445 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: person's now dead. Rusty Selix was executive director of the 446 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: Mental Health Association of California, co author of the ballot measure. 447 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: What this person said back then, no one who's mentally 448 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: ill and now in the street will be on the 449 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: street in five years. Don't you love that? And people 450 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: fall for that kind of crap. It's like, Wow, all 451 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: the whole most are gonna be gone. And there weren't 452 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: many around back in two thousand and four, but somebody 453 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: like that who I'm sure he went on to make 454 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: a lot of money with an agency connected to the 455 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: money stream. I'm sure he had a nice hour. I 456 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: guess the Mental Health Association got plenty of money from 457 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: the right. So understand the guy who writes the bill 458 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: and then promotes it by saying there'll be nobody left 459 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: mentally ill and homeless. You'll see, Well, do you know 460 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: who the author was? Do you remember Daryl Steinberg? Now 461 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: what is it? He's now mayor Sacramento, which apparently, I'm 462 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: understanding per Capita probably has the worst homeless problem in 463 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: the state. That's right, because it wasn't about helping the homeless. 464 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: It didn't wasn't about helping mentally ill people. It was about, 465 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, twenty nine billion dollars. That's how much money 466 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: this one percent tax has raised. Twenty nine billion dollars. 467 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: Now you look around and you tell me where the 468 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: success is. Just in La County, you got seventy thousand 469 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: people face down in the street. So what they did 470 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: is they created this huge tax, this huge bureaucratic infrastructure. 471 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: Now this article is filled with officials whining that they 472 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: still don't have enough money. Well, you got twenty nine 473 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: billion and you created hundreds of thousands of homeless people 474 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: in the state. How did you do that? That is 475 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: what a magic trick that is. This is the mental 476 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: illness industrial complex. Yes, there's really one paragraph that's sort 477 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: of because I'm like, well, where did the money go. Well, 478 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: there's a couple of aspects of this which are worth 479 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: talking about. Funds boosted early intervention programs in schools and communities. 480 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: And I looked at that and said, wait a minute. 481 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: When most people voted for this and understood this, they 482 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: were probably thinking about the mentally ill walking around the streets. 483 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: Get them in for treatment. Do what you have to do. 484 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: Try to change their lives. Early intervention programs in schools. 485 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: Why do you have to go to an elementary school? 486 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: What to pick out most likely to be homeless? This 487 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: reminds me remember the rob Ryder tax on cigarettes that's 488 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: supposed to go to like early I don't know, early 489 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: school or something or other. And that's another like that. 490 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: That was the same era. There was all this craze 491 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: about early this and early that, early intervention and early education, 492 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. No, you have guys in the street. 493 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: They're forty two years old, and and and and there, 494 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 1: and there were were wandering around with a knife, and 495 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: they're on meth and they're in a bad mood. It's 496 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: got nothing to do with a guy in fifth grade. 497 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: And I think the other part of this is something 498 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: we talked about with in the last ten years. There's 499 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: allegedly billions of dollars and unspent funds. Yeah, yeah, I 500 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: remember talking about this. State data shows that counties are 501 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: stockpiling about two billion dollars. This is from Steinberg's own nonprofit. Oh, 502 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: Steinberg has his own nonprofit. It's called the Steinberg Institute. Well, 503 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: it looks like he's got a lifetime job after he's 504 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: done being mayor two billion dollars. The state has La 505 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: County a loan. Suppose he is a billion, but the 506 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: next paragraph is a real head scratcher. La County officials 507 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: said their state counterparts counterparts are routinely mistaken. There are 508 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: accountings a puzzle. We don't have all that money sitting around. 509 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: So here you go, here comes the lie. Somebody's lying here, Okay, 510 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: Becky accounts are pretty straightforward, right, We've all gone to 511 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: the ATM to see how much is in checking. You 512 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: punch in your your code and you find out, oh, 513 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: I got eight thousand, two hundred and twelve dollars in checking, 514 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: right that that that's that's an exact number down to 515 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: the penny. How could they? How could the states say 516 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: La County is two billion and La County has gone 517 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, we're broke. We're dipping into our 518 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: reserves here. There's nothing left in the main account. Come on, oh, 519 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: by the way, we could we could use a tax increase? Right? 520 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean basically what these uh isn't there another homeless 521 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: tax increase coming this year? Something on the ballot. There's 522 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: going to be something on the ballot. Part of it's 523 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: going to be the gaming, the online gambling. I think 524 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: that there's supposedly some of that money is going to 525 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: the homeless, so that, you know what, that's great. You 526 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: legalize online gambling and then charge attacks, and then these 527 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: online gamblers are most likely ended up homeless after they 528 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: gamble away their homes. Circular right, exactly the only story 529 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: they tell in here because they say, oh it is 530 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: supposedly it's helped hundreds of thousands of people. Paul Stansbury, 531 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: who lives in the South pay For decades he has 532 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: sought to care for his forty three year old son, 533 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: who suffers from schizo effective disorder and drug and alcohol addiction. 534 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: His son did benefit from programs created by Prop. Sixty three, 535 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: but guess what. Eventually the sun resisted treatment and for 536 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: a period has been homeless. Yeah. You see, without conservative 537 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: ship and making this more firm, you really have no chance. 538 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: If you can just decline, if you don't force him, 539 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: all the money has been wasted, All the money we 540 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: spent on Paul Stansbury, his son is wasted. Send the 541 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: toilet because now the guy doesn't want any help and 542 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: he's happy wherever he is in his tent, whether he's 543 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: smoking the crack pipe, smoking the math pipe. I think 544 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: it's the same as all the rest of the homeless 545 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: industrial complex. All this money goes down the drain in 546 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: government bureaucracy, where if the bottom line is the person 547 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: with the mental illness refuses treatment, there's nothing you can do. 548 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: They're allowed to do that, but they continue to spend 549 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: money and build up offices and hire work and continue 550 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: to do outreach. But if they're turned aside every time, 551 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: you still have mentally healed people in the streets. You 552 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: still have people who can't be reached, but you're still 553 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: spending the money. Who's the dead guy who promised this 554 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: was all going to be solved? Rusty Silis? Rusty Silis, Yeah, girl, Rusty, 555 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: Thanks Rusty. And I don't even know if that's a guy. 556 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: I assume it is. Rusty created a huge boondoggle rip 557 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: off and then checked out and left us. Thanks. He 558 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: did promise it within five years. How do we hold 559 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: him accountable? Rusty Selix, just trying to buy that seat 560 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: on the airline? Are you doing it while you're sitting 561 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: there at the off Oh? Yeah, the guys said to 562 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: do it back in three hours. So the three hours 563 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: passed and uh, you know they didn't They didn't even 564 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: register my seat. You did you cancel the transaction or 565 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: did you actually complete they sent they sent contradict your information. 566 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: On the same confirmation email I got. It said here 567 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: your flight is confirmed. You have this seat, and then 568 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: there was a little bar on top saying your seat 569 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: has not been purchased. So it said both things. So 570 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: then I went back into the system. It's it's running again, 571 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: and neither my seat nor my wife's seat was linked 572 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: to our purchase. So I probably just paid twice for 573 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: the same seats. Oh you mean redeeming miles. No, that 574 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: I paid cash for it, because oh, it's like thirteen 575 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: dollars extra. Oh, I put that on the credit card. 576 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: But now I gotta get you know, tonight, I'm gonna 577 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: have to go call and say, hey, did you did 578 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: you get two payments for both seats? Can I have 579 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: a refund on them? That'll be an hour and a half. 580 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: We were talking about Proposition sixty three. The Lsagondo Times 581 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: did a story on the two thousand and four ballot 582 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: measure that was supposed to cure all the mentally ill 583 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: in California. This was the one percent tax on millionaires 584 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: on their income. You know that link in there for 585 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: Rusty Silis. Yeah, that's the person that was quoted as saying, 586 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: within five years, we're going to eliminate all the men, 587 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: the little problems. You should click that link. You know 588 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: what it sends you to? What a two thousand and 589 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: four in fact, October twenty fifth, two thousand and four 590 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: column by good Old Red Skelton George Skelton with the 591 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: Lsigondo Times You what the headline was Prop sixty three 592 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: The rich pay a little the home Let's get a 593 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: lot of help. Yes. He starts out by talking to 594 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: a quote a millionaire who's anxious for this to pass. 595 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: And you scroll down in the story, I oh would say, 596 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: who to read this because it's all full of this 597 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: wishful thinking that this is how they do this, and 598 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: they're off. The politicians is often helped out by people 599 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: in the media like columnists Times Right. They really believe, 600 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: or maybe they don't, the government can fix everything. It can't. 601 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: Government's a bureaucratic nightmare. Look at that. It can't even 602 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: hand out unemployment checks without getting defrauded. Now it's ridiculous, 603 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: But they like the idea of because they're all a 604 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: bunch of communists. They're all they believe in socialism. They 605 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: just like the ice stealing money from the millionaires. That's 606 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: what turns them on. They don't care if the programs 607 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: work or not. Has good intentions as good intentions, listen 608 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: to this. There are an estimated fifty thousand more less 609 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: fortunate people with mental illnesses who are living on the streets, 610 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: making up a third of California's homeless. Again, this is 611 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, But further on in the story, 612 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: Proposition sixty three would provide funding through the counties to 613 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: treat virtually all mentally ill homeless. Really, how's that work? 614 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: You'd like to do an update under don't be two 615 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,719 Speaker 1: thousand and four column pushing for the passage of this right. 616 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, it cleared easily the polls that 617 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: we're showing it almost got sixty percent support. And you know, 618 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: these stupid journalists, they intentionally do cheerleading, and that's what 619 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: it is, and they don't care. They tell you that, no, no, 620 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: we use facts to inform our research and our opinions, 621 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: and we do these fact based exposes it's no, you don't. 622 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 1: You just think rich people suck. Government is great, so 623 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: why not steal money? And and all these government connected 624 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: people build their nonprofits, give themselves six figure salaries, and 625 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: you got a new industrial complex here. This one is 626 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: for the mentally yale and you create more mental illness, right, 627 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: and what will they do? They'll turn around and ask 628 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: us for more tax money. Yeah, we've already wasted billions. 629 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna and there's usually some of the steps up 630 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: and says, well, we need to rethink this. Let's do 631 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: an accounting for those dollars. And then some stupid report 632 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: comes out and six months later they're gonna go on ahead, 633 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: and you know it's amazing trying to look for more money. 634 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: They talked to a polster, right, this guy's still around two. 635 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: It's the same old stale turds Polster for the Public 636 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: Policy inst California, sixty two twenty four. Like you said, 637 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: in favor of this stupid thing, four reasons based on 638 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: focus groups. You know how valuable focus groups are. Oh 639 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: so much wisdom in focus groups. Voters believe these people 640 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: should be paying more. Anyway, it's just punishment for the 641 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: sake of punishment. They'll give a crape. They're a program 642 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: works or not, whether it's the most important thing. It's 643 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: amazing how many people do that. Reagan closed down the 644 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: state mental hospitals and put all these people on the street. 645 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: For God's sakes, Reagan did that in the nineteen sixties. No, 646 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: the Lanterman Petrist actor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is 647 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: now in oh four, what are you talking here? It's 648 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,439 Speaker 1: thirty seven years later and they're blaming Reagan. And now 649 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: you cut two eighteen years after that in twenty twenty two. Right, 650 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: it's now fifty five freaking years and they're still blaming Reagan. 651 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: Is that amazing? It's like it's like when you know, 652 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: we were kids blaming Calvin Coolidge for whatever bad things 653 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: were going on. They know that they know the state 654 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: had broken a promise and underfunded county mental health programs. Well, 655 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: who was the governor leading up to nineteen ninety four, 656 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: huh or two thousand and four? That was great, Daviss, 657 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: What do you mean they broke it a promise? Then 658 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: there's the question of ballot box budgeting. This is just 659 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: all nonsense. Actually, Schwartzeger was govern Schwartz was governing there. Yeah, 660 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: Davis has recalled it. Oh three, oh, I just you 661 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: know another government program that overpromised an underperformed and this 662 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: is this is Darrel Steinberger. He was the assemblyman. I 663 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: think he became the Speaker of the Assembly for a while. 664 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: He states Senate too, Yeah, yeah, but it maybe was 665 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: he was president of the Senate and they he was 666 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: the principal author of Prop. Sixty three, along with that 667 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: Rusty Silix guy, and he's quoted in here. He was 668 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: the one who most was pushing it most publicly. Now 669 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: he's in charge of Sacramento, which may have the highest 670 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: per capitat homework in the stable. So these guys, these 671 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: guys have been around for decades. They have stolen tens 672 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars and they've made everything worse. They 673 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: created tens of thousands of new mental patients running in 674 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: the street. Well, favorite, my favorite Sacramento story as of late. 675 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: We talked about this, I think in the last year 676 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: or two, the American River and apparently there's a lot 677 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: of homeless encampments along this American River up in the 678 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: Sacramento area. You know what the big debate is whether 679 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: or not the poopy water is caused by creatures like 680 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: fish or birds or the homeless people. And every now 681 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: and then the Sacrament to Be runs an article. The 682 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: latest testing shows it's not coming from humans. That's the debate, right, 683 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,479 Speaker 1: because the humans, they're human waste has no bacteria in it, right, Yeah, 684 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: it comes pretty purified, all right, speaking of mental illness. 685 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: And of course a story like this can only come 686 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: from Florida. It is quite a mug shot if you 687 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,879 Speaker 1: get a chance to look at it. Michelle Renee Hoskins 688 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: is sixty four years old. They arrested her last week, 689 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: and well, they charged her with failing to report a death. 690 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: And you might say failing to report. Yes, she put 691 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: a mother in the freezer so she could keep getting 692 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: her Social Security money. So she did not want to 693 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: report her mother had died. She wanted the checks to 694 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: keep coming. The woman was ninety three, I take it, 695 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: although it's not clear yet, she died of natural causes. 696 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,439 Speaker 1: The daughter didn't want to lose the money train, so 697 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: she wrapped her up and stuck her in a big freezer. 698 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: And how did they how did they discover? Uh? They 699 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: found her in a chest freezer in the garage. Multiple 700 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: neighbors requested a welfare check. They knew that the old 701 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: lady lived there and they were concerned. So it was 702 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: only two weeks after she died that I guess they 703 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 1: did a search. Yeah, because you know, sometimes you find 704 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: out these people have pulled the scam for many years. Years. 705 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, this one looks like she only got 706 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: away with it for a years. Well, you're supposed they 707 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: did get a search warrant and they got they opened 708 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: the freeze. You're supposed to tell all the busy buddy 709 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: neighbors that she and she went to a rest home. 710 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: She wanted to she wanted to go to Florida. What 711 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: if they say, can I visit her? She went to Florida. 712 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: We put her in a Florida rest home. They are 713 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: in Florida. Oh, well, the story is from Florida. All right. 714 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: Well then pick another state, all right, point to California. 715 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: You see, you got to do this smart to get 716 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: away with it. You say I got a sister, and 717 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: you're like, Ohio, that's right, and you know what I'll 718 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: tell you. But can I write to her? Can I 719 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: email her? Sure? You can make up a post office box. 720 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 1: It's a returned undeliverable I don't think, but you might 721 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: get another year out of that. But you know what, 722 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: buy the post office box in Ohio and then you 723 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: know have that collect the mail and that's how you 724 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: get I mean, if the money means that much, do 725 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: you gotta work for it?

We're gonna lead with one. Biden 728 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: has been accused by the people that are nuts over 729 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: this rov Wade decision of not showing enough anger and 730 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: passion of an outrage. So he told his story of 731 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: about a ten year old rape victim. Well, even the 732 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: Washington Post says that story's probably made up, but he 733 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: used it on Friday to rage against the decision to 734 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: rage against Ohio's abortion stelling stories about a fake ten 735 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: year old rape victim.
