1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app We're on from one

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: to four John Cobel Show on demand and.

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Also Conway coming up at four o'clock. Here. All right,

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: let's talk about We've got a lot.

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Going on over the next few weeks because they're still

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: working on getting signatures to do the big rewrite of Prop.

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Forty seven, and soon we will be able to find

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: out if they got enough signatures to get that on

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: the ballot. Now, the legislature knows that people are unhappy

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: with Prop. Forty seven, and it seems like they want

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: to give the impression that they're doing something about let's say,

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: all the retail theft that goes on to make you

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: think that they realize Prop forty seven has got big issues.

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: But Bill Saley wants to take this take this on

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: because the Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Speaker of

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: the Assembly, Robert Reavis announced they have a big legislative

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: package to address crime. Let's get Bill Sale on to

19
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: talk about what his impression is of what they're trying

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: to do.

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: Bill, how are you, I'm good? John, How are you?

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm fine, you don't think much of this package that

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: the legislature and the Attorney General are unveiling.

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: First, why don't.

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Can you explain what it is they claim they're going

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: to do with this new legislation and why it falls short.

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: Sure, let me just say, I've never heard people speak

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: so much and say so little. They just talk and

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: they abloviate, and when you get down to the meat

30
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: of it, there's nothing there. So today they said they

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: introduced a bunch of bills to address retail theft. This

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: is their new hot word. Now it's retail theft, retail

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: theft or organized retail thefts. But when you really look

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: at the stats, organized retail theft isn't the problem. It

35
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: is individuals who are going in and stealing, and it's very,

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: very hard to build a case for organized retail theft.

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: So a lot of what they're doing isn't really going

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: to fix the heart of the problem. Some of the

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: bills they've introduced, for example, they say, oh, we're going

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: to allow a police officer to arrest for a misdemeanor

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: not committed in its presence, like shoplifting. What they don't

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: tell you is that an arrest does not mean putting

43
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: someone on handcuffs and hauling them to jail. It means

44
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: writing them a citation that's counted as an arrest.

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: By the government.

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: Everything that's all you can do is someone's steals.

47
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Everything is about deception, and it has been for ten

48
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: years since they introduced Prop.

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Forty seven.

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: They claimed it was a Safe Streets and Neighborhoods Act

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: or the Safe Schools and Neighborhoods Act, and it's been

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: always about lying and deception.

53
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: And you're right.

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Most of the theft is individuals stealing from everywhere on

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: a daily basis. There's a few organized criminal rings and

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: that gets the headlines, that gets the media coverage because

57
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: you see thirty guys in nordstrums running off with thousands

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: of dollars worth of handbags. So they're playing to that

59
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: bias that people see on TV.

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: Yes and so and if you look at the details

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: and some of this stuff. So they say they have

62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 3: a bill that's going to let you aggregate thefts over

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: multiple days, but you got to read the bill. You

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: can only aggregate if they're related acts, and it's very

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: difficult to establish that what you sol on one day

66
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: is somehow related to a theft that you committed on

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: the other unless there's some big conspiracy and you went

68
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: out and did a bunch of stuff. So that's not

69
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: going to have any teeth. What Prop forty seven did

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: that was so devastating is it took away the ability

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: to send people to prison. And none of the bills

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: that they talked about today will result in a single person,

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: additional person going to prison at most maybe some additional

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: county time. But John, we had a great law. It

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 3: said if you commit three petty thefts over a long

76
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: period of time, the fourth theft will be a felony

77
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: that's punishable by prison in and we sent a lot

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: of people to prison for stealing for more than three times,

79
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: because now you've graduated from a petty thief to a

80
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: grand thief seef. And so that's what the ballot initia

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: is going to do. It's going to put teeth back

82
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: into the law and get those laws back on the

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: books that DA's could use to actually send people to person.

84
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: Do you remember when they were trying to empty the

85
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: prisons then Jerry Brown was complaining that the DA's were

86
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: we're still figuring out ways of how to We're still

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: people and put them in prison.

88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: Prosecuting criminals.

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: Jerry Brown called up DA's personally saying, in effect, why

91
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: are you trying to put criminals in prison?

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's what it's all about. That's what it's

93
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: all about. When you get to the heart of it.

94
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: It's none of this window dressing compassion blah blah blah.

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: It's about emptying the prison. So you'll see a theme here.

96
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: They will never ever pass a bill that results in

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: someone going to prison, more people going to prison, because

98
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: they just have it is like their new religion.

99
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: Well, they also can't touch Prop. Forty seven on their

100
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: own anyway. It has to be it would have to

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: be revised by a ballot referendum.

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they wrote it like that. It's kind of funny.

103
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: I think they were worried about a legislature coming in

104
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: and wanting to weaken it, so they said the only

105
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: way you could change Prop. Forty seven is by resubmitting

106
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: it to the voters. Well, I actually think I'd rather

107
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: have the voters rewrite it at this point than this legislature,

108
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: so that might not be a bad thing for us.

109
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean that that's what's that's what's so

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: deceptive about it. They're acting as if they're taking on

111
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: Prop forty seven when they know legally they cannot, they

112
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: can't do anything to it.

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: No, and also they won't admit that Prop forty seven

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: is the problem. They'll they'll deflect and you should you

115
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: should fall ask the Zavala is a reporter up here, Shid.

116
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: She does a good job. She was tweeting to me

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: about how they had this like twenty minute press conference

118
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: and then they didn't allow their reporters to ask any questions,

119
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: and she said, well, why did you call a press

120
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 3: conference if we're not even allowed to ask questions? And

121
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: her question was going to be, what is new in

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: these bills? Because this is the same package you guys

123
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: announced in January. You just repackage them and announce them again.

124
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: There's nothing new, and how does this address Prop forty seven?

125
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: But she wasn't able to ask any of those questions.

126
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: Because that's a lord job.

127
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: It's not about transparency. It's about just talking points and recoda.

128
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: So it's about bullying the journalists, and the journalists go

129
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: go along with it. The journalists starts screaming at them.

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: That should be the video on the news is the

131
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: journalists revaulting against all these bastards in the legislature.

132
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they bullied.

133
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: The blaws that they presented today are a lot of nonsense.

134
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: It's all misdirection and lies. It's all theater. And of

135
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: course you can't question them because it would fall apart

136
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: like a house of cards in fifteen seconds.

137
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: Who does she work with, Mary Thinskin as she works for.

138
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: I think it's the CBS affiliate up here, I'm not sure,

139
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: but she's actually one of the aggressive ones. And she

140
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: was the one that went after me a bonta and

141
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: put a camera in her face when she was going

142
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: to be the chair of the committee that funds her

143
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: husband's department. Beat each yeah, apartment, she was going to

144
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: be in the chair of that committee. And all she

145
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: asked was, isn't that a conflict that you're you know,

146
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: you're married to the guy who you're overseeing.

147
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have any We don't have that. We

148
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: don't have any TV reporters in LA who do that. None,

149
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, none of them cover anything in Sacramento anyway.

150
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: But even if they did, they don't go after any

151
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: of the local politicians here. They're all they're all, they're all,

152
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: they're all afraid. They apologize when they ask a tough question.

153
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: For the most part, I.

154
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: Will say, if any reporters are listening, come to Sacramento.

155
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: We don't have that many good reporters up here. And

156
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: these Democrats are so kid skin and fragile you don't

157
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: have to do much to get a reaction out of them,

158
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: and it would make for great TV. Well, I just

159
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: watched some of the committee hearings. When I ask some

160
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: hard questions, they just they totally flip out that there's

161
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: any opposition to them at all.

162
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: Well, they haven't been challenged, for the most part for

163
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: many years. Even Newsom gets really flustered if he's challenged

164
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: hard on something.

165
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: They don't. They don't have them muscles to do that

166
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: because it's.

167
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Been a one party town with an approving media at

168
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: all times, and there hasn't been honest debate in many,

169
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: many years on any of this stuff. I mean, the

170
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: only reason Prop forty seven got past to begin with

171
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: is the media just repeated that it was the Safe Schools.

172
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: And Neighborhoods Act.

173
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: They never challenged all the terrible things that were gonna

174
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: They never they never explained all the terrible things that

175
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: were going to happen.

176
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: We really like because they knew it wouldn't pass. If

177
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: they're being honest about it, they have.

178
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: To be deceitful.

179
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: The other thing to Joe, you have to remember they

180
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 3: have a super majority. When you have a super majority,

181
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: you have a lot of power, and they're not afraid

182
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: to use it. And so a lot of people do

183
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 3: walk around you're scared. That includes the lobbyists, that includes

184
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: business people, that includes Republicans, because they can remove you

185
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: from your committee, they can kill your precious little bill,

186
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: they could take out money for your cities. I mean,

187
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: they're very retaliatory, and so that's why you don't see

188
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: much opposition up here. I've just decided I have nothing

189
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: to lose, so I just go after them. But like

190
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: the last guy left, it works up here.

191
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: You're like the.

192
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: Last guy left in the legislature who's calling them out.

193
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe the public is happy with one party rule.

194
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm just astonished if they even know what goes on.

195
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: Probably most people aren't even aware.

196
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: That it's such a well wait wait until they have

197
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 3: to balance this seventy billion dollar defice in less than

198
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: two months. I think the public's not.

199
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: Going to like it, all right, Bill, thanks for coming on.

200
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: Anytime.

201
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: John, thank you for having me. Bill A.

202
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: Salley, the Republican Assemblyman from Riverside, about the fake phony

203
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: package of bills that they unleashed in the Assembly today

204
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: and the Attorney General claiming that they're going to go

205
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: after retail theft. But you get in the details, it

206
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: is a lot of window dressing and it's a lot

207
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: of gas.

208
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: It's not going to change anything. It's not going to

209
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: put anybody in jail.

210
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: That they're trying to give you the impression that they're

211
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: going to revise Top forty seven.

212
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,239
Speaker 2: They can't. It has to come from a referen.

213
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: When we come back, I play a little clip of

214
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: the California Assembly Speaker Robert Robert revs. They're incredibly dishonest.

215
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: And you know that's what we do here is we

216
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: say here, this is dishonest, this is false, this isn't true.

217
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: Here's what's really going on, and we'll do that next.

218
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

219
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: six forty.

220
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 2: We're just talking with Bill A.

221
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: Saling, who gave a pretty blistering critique of the idiot

222
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: Democratic leaders, Assembly Speaker Robert Revs and also the Attorney

223
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: General Rob Banta.

224
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 2: They're trying to fool you again.

225
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: They know that there is a big rebellion coming in

226
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: as Prop forty seven, so they unveiled some a package

227
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: of bills that they say they're going to go after

228
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: retail theft, organized retail theft. But it's another magic trick.

229
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: It's actually the package is not going to put anybody

230
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: in prison. Few, if any people will ever go to

231
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: prison because of it. Most of the theft is daily

232
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: theft done by a lot of well a lot of

233
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: homeless people that start with in low level criminals because

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the thievery is not prosecuted anymore.

235
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: It just isn't.

236
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: And it all came from Prop forty seven, and Prop

237
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: forty seven is why we have so much retail theft

238
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: going on in burglaries and car break ins and homeless

239
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: people in the streets and drug addiction in the street.

240
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: It all came from Prop forty seven. And I'm hoping

241
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: they're going to get enough signatures to put a major

242
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: revision on the ballot in November. We'll see, we'll find

243
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: out in a matter of weeks. But Bill was talking

244
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: about how they give a press conference, they won't let

245
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: reporters question them, which is an abomination, and they just

246
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: fill the air with gas and verbosity. Well, here is

247
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: the California Assembly Speaker, Robert Reeves talking about this retail

248
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: theft package, and.

249
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 5: Our focus is on this package of bills. All seven

250
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: will be heard in Public Safety Committee. As so as

251
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: I've said, as I've maintained, you know since the beginning

252
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 5: of the year. You know, I believe in the Leslay process.

253
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: This is our you know, opportunity, in the spirit of

254
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 5: collaboration to work together to refine a lot of these

255
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 5: bills and ideas to get good public policy. And you know,

256
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 5: there's no turning back the clock on the criminal justice

257
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 5: reforms that have been enacted for us as understanding the

258
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 5: root causes of this problem, which is complex.

259
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: Right stop right there, there you go.

260
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: There's no turning back the clock on the reform that's Prop.

261
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: Forty seven. There's no turning back the clock even though

262
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: it's a failure, even though it led to an enormous

263
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: amount of retail theft, home burglaries, car theft, all the

264
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: drug addiction in the street, all the homeless situation, there's

265
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: no going that, there's no turning back the clock. It's

266
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: because they have a religious leaf that people can't be

267
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: thrown into prison anymore. So you know, right there, he

268
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: gives away the game. This new package is not going

269
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: to send people to prison.

270
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: It's not.

271
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Most retail theft is not organized theft. It gets the

272
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: video headlines on television and causes.

273
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: People to react.

274
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: And then he says, the root causes of crime are complex.

275
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: No they're not.

276
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: It's simple. It becomes a business in a way. It's

277
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: a way to profit. You steal stuff, you resell it.

278
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: You make money. You make money, you buy drugs. You

279
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: steal stuff, you use it.

280
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: That's all.

281
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: You steal stuff because you can. You steal stuff because

282
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: it's allowed. It's virtually legalized in this state. That's why

283
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: people steal stuff because it's sitting there and there's no consequences,

284
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: So why not steal it and resell it. I mean,

285
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: I see, oh God, the drug store in my neighborhood.

286
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: It is so irritating. You can't buy anything anymore.

287
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: You can't buy excuse.

288
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Me, a bottle of tile, and all, for God's sakes,

289
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: they steal the title and all. Why it's not because

290
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: they have a really bad headache. They resell it on eBay.

291
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: You can do it in minutes, you take it to

292
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: the fence. Root causes her complex. Robert Reeves is such

293
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: a load, such a liar. You know what really goes

294
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: on in the Assembly in the state Senate. There's a

295
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: story today in cow Matters that most of the Democrats

296
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: rarely vote against any bills. They never vote no. It's

297
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: impolite to vote no on a colleague's bill. They have

298
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: a guy named Mike Fond. He's cast six thousand votes

299
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: in six thousand votes in two years, voted no once.

300
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: Pilar Schiavo has had two thousand chances to vote. She

301
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: has never voted no. Cal Matters examined more than one

302
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: million votes cast by legislators since twenty seventeen found that

303
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: Democrats vote no less than one percent of the time.

304
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: In fact, the former Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon told the

305
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: California Labor Federation last year, there's only two effing buttons

306
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: on your desk. There's a green button, there's a red button.

307
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent, ninety nine percent of the time, the

308
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: green button is the labor button. In other words, that's

309
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: the one you use ninety nine percent of the time.

310
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: The green button means you're doing the right thing, and

311
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: the red button means that you're an a hole. So

312
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: when there really is a vote that a legislator can't

313
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: stomach or it's going to cause too much of a

314
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: disruption in his district, they just they abstained.

315
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: That's why they never vote no. And you know when

316
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: they did it.

317
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: They did this specifically in the Assembly Public Safety Committee.

318
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: For example, for child sex trafficking. Remember when the bill

319
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: died in the Public Safety Committee, little girls were being

320
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: sold into sex slavery. It wasn't until Newsom got involved

321
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: and then some of the Democrats apologized and then voted

322
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: yes on the measure. Three fentanyl related bills died last

323
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: year because Democrats wouldn't vote on it. They would even

324
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: have there was parents. One bill had twenty two bipartisan

325
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: co sponsors and would pass if it reached the Senate floor.

326
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: They had parents whose children had died from fentonyl testifying

327
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: to the committee. But there were four members of the

328
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: Senate Public Safety Committee. These four should rotten hell. Nancy Skinner,

329
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: Stephen Bradford, Aisha Wahab Scott Wiener, they refused to vote,

330
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: they were silent during their own the roll call, and

331
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: by the way, they don't respond to interview requests about it.

332
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: The bill was Alexandria's law for a woman who died

333
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: from fentanyl, and were require judges to read a warning

334
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: to defendants who've been convicted of dealing fentanil that if

335
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: they dealt the drugs again, they could be charged with murder.

336
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: One hundred people testified at the hearing, almost all in

337
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: support of the bill, many of them sharing experience with

338
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: fentinyl deaths. A Democrat was sponsoring it, he wrote it

339
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: Tom Emberg, but Nancy Skinner, Stephen Bradford, Aishawa Hobb, and

340
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: Scott Wiener wouldn't vote No.

341
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: They just stayed silent. Cowardly rats more coming up.

342
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

343
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 4: six forty.

344
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: I know the last thing you want to hear about

345
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: is a COVID story. Nobody ever wants to revisit that time.

346
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to rehash all the debates. But there's something

347
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: you need to know. And that's why I'm bringing it up.

348
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Because I'm a real stickler for the truth on things

349
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: and that the record being set straight. And it turns

350
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: out according to Senator Rand Paul, the Republican from Kentucky,

351
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: he's written a long piece for Fox News, He's done

352
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: a long investigation, and he has found that government officials

353
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: from fifteen federal agencies knew in twenty eighteen that the

354
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus.

355
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: It turned out to be very much like COVID nineteen.

356
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: Not only that, but we helped them, The United States

357
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: helped them. And it's a man that we have talked

358
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: about before, Peter dan Zak. He had a company called

359
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: Eco Health Alliance, and he had a relationship with the

360
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: Wuhan Institute. Anthony She funded eco Health Alliance, and EcoHealth

361
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: Alliance then sent the money to Wuhan and it was

362
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: a plan to alter the coronavirus and create what turned

363
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: out to be something very similar to COVID nineteen. This

364
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: was a long running project and they were seeking federal

365
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: funding in twenty eighteen to alter the virus genetically. And

366
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: Rand Paul says fifteen federal agencies knew. He said, not

367
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: one of these fifteen agencies spoke up to warn us

368
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: that the Wuhan Institute was pitching this research. Not one

369
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: of the fifteen agencies warned anyone that this Chinese lab

370
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: had already put together plans to create such a virus.

371
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: Peter Danzak, who ran EcoHealth Alliance, concealed the proposal. A

372
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: University of North Carolina scientist named Ralph Barrack failed to

373
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: reveal that Juhan proposed this virus, and this was called

374
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: the Defuse project.

375
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 2: It was to.

376
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Insert something genetically into a coronavirus to create some create

377
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: something new that would be quite contagious. Hundreds of he says,

378
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: likely hundreds of people in our government, the US government

379
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: knew of this proposal to create a COVID nineteen like virus.

380
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Virtually every one of these people chose to keep quiet,

381
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: to obscure, and to ultimately conceal information that might have

382
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: saved lives. And some of the research money came from

383
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: the National Institutes of Health, the organization the government agency

384
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: that Anthony Fauci run, and it was run through Peters

385
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: at Danzac and Eco Health Alliance. Peter Danzak is also

386
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: the one after the news was going around that the

387
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: virus may have come from a lab. He got, I

388
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: believe it was about fifty scientists to write a public

389
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: letter saying, no way that could happen. It came from

390
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: an animal. It was propaganda, damage control. He had an

391
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: ad published in the major newspapers signed by all these

392
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: alleged experts saying that no, no, no, no. Remember they

393
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: were calling anybody accused China of being in on this

394
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: to be racist. Turns out that was the that was

395
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: the government covering up for its own sins. Why the

396
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: American health leaders were involved with the Chinese to create

397
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: some kind of supervirus that then leaked and killed a

398
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: million Americans among millions and millions of others around the world,

399
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 1: and completely turned the world upside down, and we are

400
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: still dealing with the ramifications the after effects of it.

401
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: All is chest If you'd put it in a movie,

402
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: nobody would believe it. But that's the world we live

403
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: in fifteen ages. And now you know why Ran Paul

404
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: every time he had Anthony Fauci testifying and committee, he

405
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: went after Fauci so hard, and Fauci would get rattled

406
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: and he would issue these blanket denials because Ran Paul

407
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: knew what fauci knew, and fauci knew that Ran Paul knew,

408
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: and they were they were playing this cat and mouse game.

409
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: And now ran Paul has gotten the truth. And his

410
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: piece is entitled the Great COVID cover Up, Shocking Truth

411
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: about Wuhan and fifteen federal agencies.

412
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: And so this is the reality.

413
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: You know, this story will probably come and go, but

414
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: it should be out there and if we could get

415
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, a few hundred thousand more people aware of

416
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: it who aren't going to read this Fox News story

417
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: or that that's a good thing, because you was, this

418
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: was you know, and and the thing is it there

419
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: there was always something fishy about it because for for China,

420
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: unleash a virus that caused so much death, really ruined

421
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: the economy, and there was so little response from the

422
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: US government, and it always stuck in my head, It's.

423
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: Like, why isn't the US government carrying on about this?

424
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: And it may not have been on purpose to release

425
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: the virus, it may have been an accidental league, but

426
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: we were creating the supervirus, we were funding the supervirus

427
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: with the Chinese. Why are we helping the Chinese? Why

428
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: is anybody doing this at all. I mean, it's just

429
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: and look what happens. None of this had to happen.

430
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: If you got people who got sick or died, or

431
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: you lost your business, kids lost their school, and people's

432
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: lives were derailed and upended. Why because these government bureaucrats

433
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: and these these these these creepy researchers had this obsession

434
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: with create getting a supervirus. I mean, there's more to this,

435
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: and I hope Ran Paul keeps at it. More coming up.

436
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

437
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: six forty.

438
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: There's another news story that just came out in the

439
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: New York Times. There is another Boeing whistleblower who says

440
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: that the seven eighty seven Dreamliner has a lot of

441
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: flaws in it. And he said the sections of the

442
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: plane's body are being assembled in a way that could

443
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: weaken the aircraft over time, and the FAA is investigating

444
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: these claims. It's a Boeing engineer. He said the sections

445
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: of the fuselage are improperly fastened together and could break

446
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: apart mid flight after thousands of trips. This story was

447
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: just coming out about twenty minutes ago. The engineer is

448
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: named Sam Salapoor. He worked on the and he gave

449
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: The New York Times all the details and in documents

450
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: sent to the FAA. He worked at Boeing for more

451
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: than a decade. They changed how the enormous sections were

452
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: fitted and fastened together. Because the fuselage comes in several

453
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: pieces from different manufacturers, they're not exactly the same shape

454
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: where they fit together, so I guess they had to

455
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: be altered in some way. There's a spokesperson for Boeing

456
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: that is denying that there's any trouble. They've done extensive

457
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: testing on the Dreamliner. This is not an immediate safety

458
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: of flight issue. They're trying to determine if there might

459
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: be a long term fatigue concern. Now that's interesting, So

460
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: they're not denying it entirely. They just say it's nothing

461
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: that would happen now. This would not become an issue

462
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: for many years to come, if ever, So we're not

463
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: rushing the team. We want to make sure the analysis

464
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: is comprehensive. So I guess there's something to this because

465
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: Boeing is not completely rejecting it. They're just saying, well,

466
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: it's not something that's going to happen today. Wow, Well

467
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: it must have been well known what was going on.

468
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: Because.

469
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: If all the pieces were coming in from different manufacturers,

470
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: and I guess it's like a jigsaw puzzle, but the

471
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: pieces didn't slide together smoothly.

472
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

473
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: Other news, The Wall Street Journal today had a story

474
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: about how the first six months of this fiscal year.

475
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, the federal fiscal year starts October first, to

476
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, so the fiscal year is now six

477
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: months gone by.

478
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: As at the end of March.

479
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: You know what the federal budget deficit was the first

480
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: six months, a trillion dollars, A trillion dollars. And the

481
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: thing is, it's not a shortage of tax revenue. Tax

482
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: revenue is up. Tax revenue is up seven percent, and

483
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: income taxes up. The payroll tax revenue that's where they

484
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: take out money for Social Security and Medicare. Corporate income

485
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: taxes rose thirty five percent. How about that because the

486
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: economy was doing well. However, spending is three and a

487
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: quarter trillion dollars, and we're really taking in two point

488
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: one trillion.

489
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 2: So the a have it.

490
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: We have two point one trillion incoming and revenue and

491
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: three point two trillion in spending and the Wall Street

492
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: Journal says it's the usual suspects. It's Medicare payments which

493
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: are up ten percent, and Social Security, which is up

494
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: nine percent. And they write as everyone but the politicians

495
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: admit entitlement spending drives, deficits and debt. Yeah, that's that's

496
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: that's the big car crash that's going to be coming

497
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: because no politician will say that we've got to raise

498
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: taxes or cut Medicare social Security, and no voter wants

499
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: to hear about it, no taxpayer wants to hear about it.

500
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: But that's the truth. It's Medicare and Social Security either.

501
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: Create more revenue to pay for it or people's benefits

502
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: have to be cut. Because the math, I mean this

503
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of math, because you know we're at we're out

504
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: of it, we're out of the COVID period. You're taken

505
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: in a two trillion and you're spending three trillion.

506
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: That is what do they saying? Unsustainable? All right? Codways
