1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,559 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. What a show we got today. We're gonna 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: the Sheriff of Riverside County on this show in an 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: hour to talk about what they're doing about fentnyl. Fentnyl, 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: of course, has become a big deal. You probably recall 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: a couple of kids odeed on it in Hollywood High 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: School recently. They don't do anything in Sacramento, so you 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: can't look there for any kind of help. There was 8 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: a bill that would have gone after drug dealers who 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: sell these fentanyl products. That the problem is people are 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: ingesting the product unknowingly. In several cases they thought they 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: were just getting oxycodone, but it was laced with fentyl. 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: And it doesn't kill everybody, but in some cases, every 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: now and then it kills a person. So at Riverside County, 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: the DA out there along with the sheriff have combined 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: to try to do something about the fentanyl problem. So 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: Sheriff Chad Bianco will join us in an hour later. 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: After that, we are going to talk to a woman 18 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: whose husband was beaten after a confrontation with two homeless 19 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: men in Studio City they had set up. I saw 20 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: this story on TV last night and I was trying 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: to get a better idea. They set up a shelter 22 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: in an embankment just beneath their home in the hills 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: of studio Cities. You have to kind of imagine that 24 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: they were sort of overlooking the encampment and the husband 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: finally went out there and told them, look, you can't 26 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: stay here, and well, one of them got outraged and 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: he came and he assaulted the home unner. The husband 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: has a fractured scapula and three posterior ribs broken and 29 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: a collapsed along According to the wife, she will join 30 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: us after four o'clock. What is the breaking point, particularly 31 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to people and how they handle this 32 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: problem and how they vote on the politicians supposed to 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: handle this problem. Where is it? We've talked about so 34 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: many of these kinds of stories over the last couple 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: of years, and still here we are. Homelessness is a 36 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: big issue on people's minds, but they never do anything 37 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: about it. You know, we have a story that's covered 38 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: for a couple of days and then the media moves on, 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: and unfortunately for the victims, they have to move on 40 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: to You know, this one though, this particular issue, you 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: don't need the media. Everybody sees it with their own eyes. 42 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who hasn't noticed how horrible the 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: streets have gotten in La So that's the studio city, 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: which is I don't I haven't been there in a while. 45 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what it looks like there. But we 46 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: talked recently about Sherman Oaks, which isn't that far away, 47 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: and the problem they have on Ventura Boulevard. But that 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: poor bar owner. It depends which block you're on. Where 49 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: was a driving today? Went underneath an overpass? Oh, there's 50 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: a there's a the Venice in Venice Boulevard right near 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: Suppulvita Boulevard in the four oh five. Huge village has 52 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: been built underneath that overpass. We had a moistline caller 53 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: about that on Friday. Yeah, no gigantic. And then I 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: was underneath a bridge yesterday in Westwood near Olympics, say 55 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: thing under the four or five. Another village. So it's everywhere. 56 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're waiting for you know, the stupid 57 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: asses and local news to cover it, it's not going 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: to happen. Just use your eyes. This wasn't this way 59 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: last time. We had a mayoral election with Garcetti twenty seventeen. 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: I do not remember this issue being an issue. I 61 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: don't remember anything being an issue. He had no competition, 62 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: he had, you know, eleven unknowns running against him, but 63 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: there wasn't there was no there was no central focus 64 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: to what anybody was trying to run on, no central issue. Yeah, 65 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: I always point back to twenty fourteen when Prop forty 66 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: seven passed, and always takes sort of a time lag 67 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: for things to start to get ugly from issues like that. 68 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: Of course, Prop forty seven basically a legalized a lot 69 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: of drug use. It it's no consequences, So the people 70 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: end up with the drug problem, and they end up homeless, 71 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: and they just wandered the streets, and that they get 72 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: caught on anything like a drug charge, they're kicked, they're 73 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: back out, no one are the worst things about this 74 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: progressive agenda is they try to strip all consequences from 75 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: drug use because you know, in some cases there was 76 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: excessive sentencing for drug use across the country and federally, 77 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: but instead of moderating that, they threw out all the 78 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: consequences and didn't even require treatment. Yeah, I guess they 79 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: recap They reduced it from a felony to a misdemeanor. 80 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: When it's a felony, you can hold over their heads. 81 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: You got to go to treatment for us to reduce 82 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: this to misdemeanor. Can't do that anymore, don't have that, 83 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: and the misdemeanors don't know leverage. Misdemeaners don't carry any 84 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: jail time in La County, not the way it's unforced. 85 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: So basically it's a it's a free literally I get 86 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: out of jail free card. When you have an agenda 87 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: to empty the prisons and not send people to prisons, 88 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: the first people to benefit are the or the drug people, right, 89 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: because they consider that a benign crime that only affects 90 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: the person taking the drugs well steal right, yeah yeah, 91 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: and not a hate us acts while they're high, not 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: will they And if you let them run loose and 93 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: then seventy thousand of them decide to live on the 94 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: street together. Those are the real consequences. But again, you know, 95 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: it's all part of the plan. It's part of the 96 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: plan to destabilize and destroy our way of life. They 97 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: have a much bigger plan. It's working, Yeah, it is. 98 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, no one, no wants to believe me. 99 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: This is a much bigger plan than just giving a 100 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: break to your local drug addict. This is about destabilizing 101 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: our way of life because our society is illegitimate. It 102 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't exist. It's mean, it's cruel, it's racist, it's based 103 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: on capitalism. Blah blah blah blah. You've heard it all, 104 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: and then they're they're playing hardball. We'll talk to this 105 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: wife of the studio city Man after the news. At 106 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: four o'clock yesterday, late in the show, we were talking 107 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: about a bill that Gavin Knewsome signs and Sacramento, which 108 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: got our attention because it's kind of odd. It limits 109 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: the use of rap lyrics in prosecutions. Not that he 110 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: can't use them, but you have to sort of go 111 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: through a process in order to be able to use 112 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: him against the defendant. And we had noticed in the 113 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: story that it seems that rappers are being murdered lately, 114 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: and we just had it happened again. An Inglewood rapper 115 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: has died. He was shot multiple times by someone who 116 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: apparently was inside a dark colored suv in Korea Town 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: late last night. This is the third rapper shot and 118 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: killed in Los Angeles County in less than a month, 119 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: the victims being identified as Half Ounce, who released an 120 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: album in May titled Gang Bangin with an Eye N 121 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: at the end. Yeah, well it's it could be. Obviously, 122 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: we've known this for thirty years of very violent culture. 123 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: So I feel like the nineties are back with out 124 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: the rise of gangs and crime. And you know a 125 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: lot of gangs have been involved in these home invasion 126 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: robberies and street robberies, and now rappers are being killed 127 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,119 Speaker 1: again because that was the last era where we didn't 128 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: have consequences for crime. They were only back a lot 129 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: of things only mid nineties. I think three strikes was 130 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: passed into ninety four and that signaled the end of 131 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: the easy come, easygo policy, people spending through prison. And 132 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: then we got Jerry Brown who regretted things he did 133 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: as governor in his previous couple of terms, and he 134 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: started to unwind things with like a B one oh nine, 135 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: the prisoner Dumping Bill and all these dopey propositions forty 136 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: seven fifty seven, and this is where we're rolling to. Yeah, 137 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: by the way, this is now we mentioned yesterday. Wikipedia 138 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: has a page devoted to rap musicians getting murdered, and 139 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: this is number sixty in the country. In the country, 140 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: Remember I looked it up yesterday and we were at 141 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: fifty nine after the guy who got shot at the 142 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: baffle house. This is now sixty. Do they have Key Riches? 143 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Key Riches? On September twenty four, twenty three year old 144 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: Key Riches, whose real name is Keyan Neillum, was shot 145 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: and killed in Compton. So there might be a six 146 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: one because the time says three in the past month, 147 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: and they're counting the rapper at the Chicken and waffles place. 148 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: They're counting last night's murder, and they added this Key Riches, 149 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: key spelled key k Ee. That's his rapper name. Oh, 150 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: I got to look that up. And I didn't memorize 151 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: the whole list. We talked about P and b Rock 152 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: and that story got a lot of play because he 153 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: was shot during daytime. He made the list. Who oh yeah, 154 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: P and b Rock. I'll tell you right now, P 155 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: and b Rock is the only one on that list. Oh, 156 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: I guess Eric looked. I don't even need to look. 157 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: The other two are unknown Rocks. They don't rate high 158 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: enough to know that. I don't even I wouldn't even 159 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: say they're signed to major labels. But P and b 160 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Rock was definitely well he's the P and B Rock 161 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: was the sixth rapper this year in the United States 162 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: to be shot to death. Others were Jay Deyoungen, Trouble, Sido, Mooswallah, 163 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: Archie Ever Saw Snooty while Snooty Wild. Yeah, that's all 164 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: just this year. Wow, last one killed in La on 165 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: this list Dracio the Ruler. So what are we learning? 166 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: The list is longer if we include people that are 167 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: not major rapper stars, and I guess so it says 168 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: here there's a list of notable rappers and hip hop 169 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: musicians who have been murdered. Well, it's not all that 170 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 1: surprising because some of them, like this one that was 171 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: killed last night apparently has had a criminal record and 172 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: some affiliation. He had links to a gang called the 173 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: Pyro Gang. Half Ounce, I'm talking about it. So hip 174 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: hop has a higher rate of homicide than any other 175 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: genre of music, ranging from five to thirty two times higher. Well, 176 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: it's in a lot of the songs, the danger in 177 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: the violence, right, So it's not really that surprising. Murder 178 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: was the cause of over fifty one percent of hip 179 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: hop musician deaths. All right, we got extensive Wikipedia analysis 180 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: that he apparently has been quite written up about. More 181 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: compinged up Johnny Kad Show kf I Am six forty 182 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. The voice line will 183 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: be back in just a few days.

We'll be talking about gas 190 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: prices again after the news. At two thirty, the El 191 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: Segundo Times did an in depth story about how our 192 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: drive towards alternative energy sources is leaving us vulnerable. Vulnerable 193 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: is the word they use, Yeah, to these big price 194 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: increases in gas. Of course, we told you that fifteen 195 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: years ago this was going to happen, and now after 196 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: the government of California is destroyed a good chunk of 197 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: the oil industry here now the La Times have said, oh, 198 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: we're vulnerable. Yeah, because you know what a shocking thing 199 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: in the story we used to have fifty refineries here 200 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 1: in California. Now we're down to fourteen. California blas a 201 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: supply problem. California forced the other thirty six out of 202 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: business with their policies. I will get into that because 203 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: one of the things that when you buy gasoline, this 204 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: sales tax is supposed to be used for And how 205 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: long have we heard this, and it's important that we 206 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: have this money, and you can't reduce the sales tax 207 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: because we have to have this money for the roads. 208 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Well it's happened again. Money Geek. Money Geek, a personal 209 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: finance website, used federal highway data to try to determine 210 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: which states in the country have the best roads and 211 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: which had the worst. Out of all fifty states, California 212 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: ranked number fifty and I've seen us at forty ninth, 213 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: but this time we did hit rock bottom. We had 214 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: more potholes just last week out of you know, maybe 215 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: ten states that I've driven in in the last year 216 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: or two. By far, by far, we have the worst roads. 217 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: No other state is even close to what's going on here. 218 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: And they did everything. They looked at urban suburban highways, 219 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: not necessarily small and local city streets. They used Federal 220 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: Higher Administration data on what they call road roughness to 221 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: compare conditions across states, and the FHA deems roads with 222 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: a roughness score under ninety five they're in good condition. 223 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: If you get a score between ninety five and one 224 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: seventy acceptable, anything higher is poorer. So California's roughness index 225 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: score of one sixty means that the road conditions are 226 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: borderline average, but actually very close to being at the 227 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: poor level, almost over one seven. Well, because because yeah, 228 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: that's a misleading statistic, forty four percent of the roads 229 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: were in poor condition forty four percent. Only twenty two 230 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: percent were in good condition. And the forty four percent 231 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: is the highest of any state. Forty four percent in 232 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: poor condition. Nobody, Now, where's the tax money? They stole it? 233 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: They raised the sales tax on gasoline, and they're still 234 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: raising it because it has a built in escalator, right, 235 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: and they don't spend it on it. Just went up. 236 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: As another fact. They just bald face. They throw bald 237 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: face lies at everybody and the public nods its head 238 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: like a bobblehead, just going up and down. Okay, yeah, 239 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: we want to have safe roads, we want to have 240 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: good quality roads. Yes, yes, how much more would you like, sir? 241 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: Where where you are a state of zombies, absolute zombies. 242 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: The thing is, like the homeless in the streets. You 243 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: don't need an analysis to tell you this. You just 244 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: have to go out and drive, you know, drive on 245 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: the one on one, go through downtown, drive on Sunset Boulevard. 246 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's obvious. I think it's because people 247 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: just become accustomed to it and don't question it, and 248 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: they don't travel to other places. They don't know well, right, 249 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: they just live in this bubble. The thing is, yes, 250 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: you notice it more when you travel to other places. 251 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: But objectively, you're driving on really rough road here. I 252 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: mean you can't drive in the right lane of Sunset 253 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: Boulevard traveling through the west side. You don't have any 254 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: weather that would impact this. One of the top states 255 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: was Minnesota. I mean, you talk about rough winters. Shouldn't 256 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: that impact the roads? Doesn't it? All? The snow and 257 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: rain and sleet caused troubble on the roads and create 258 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: like potholes and divots did great. Only four percent of 259 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: roads were in poor condition in Minnesota. California forty four 260 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: percent poor roads Minnesota four percent. Forty four to four. 261 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: We have eleven times the percentage. The second worst state 262 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: was Rhode Island, so size didn't really matter. The biggest 263 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: state was first, the second worst state was second. And 264 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: snow and snow and ice and salt do ruin roads. 265 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: But in Minnesota they didn't get They get up in 266 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: the morning in the spring and they fixed the roads. 267 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: We don't fix the road. Decades go bide, we don't 268 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: fix the roads. Oh, this is great too. The analysis 269 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: found there wasn't a clear connection between how much the 270 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: state spends on its roads and how smooth they are. California, 271 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: for example, pays less than the other states when you 272 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: consider just how many miles of road there are too. Mainteen, 273 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: New York and Pennsylvania spent disproportionately more than most states 274 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: of similar size. But California, I mean the money that 275 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: they take from us. Well, we knew over the years 276 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: following this that most of the governors stole the money 277 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: from the road repair funds. Schwartzeger Is certainly did. I 278 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: thought there was a lot box. Yeah right, that was 279 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: one of the sie years ago. Great Davis, he stole 280 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: the money and I knew some obviously stole the money 281 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: because we just gave him a tax increase. But about 282 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: five years ago, four years ago, Jerry Brown and then 283 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: and then Newsom have absorbed just you know, hundreds of 284 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: millions of dollars, billions probably, and nothing nothing for it, 285 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: because they just lie and then they take the money 286 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: and they laugh, they laugh their asses off at us. 287 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: Maybe we've all been drugged. Where we the states secretly gassed. 288 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this today, like there's all this 289 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: stuff that only is going on in California, nowhere else, 290 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: and yet here you have the least resistance, you have 291 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: barely an awareness of what's going on. And when you 292 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: think about the voting patterns in other states, and and 293 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: and the revolt going on in various states over one 294 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: issue or another, and here nothing, And I'm thinking, maybe 295 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: we were all poisoned. Maybe we were gassed. Maybe there's 296 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: something in the water. Maybe everybody has has been tranquilized 297 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: with with xanax and the water supply. It looks like 298 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: this analysis because it included a chart of what they 299 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: call the capital outlay, and California was ranked ninth and 300 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: capital outlay, so we have the worst roads. But I 301 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: guess we have the ninth lowest capital outralay. It seems 302 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: to be with the number means less. It's the reverse, 303 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: we have the ninth highest capital outlay. Well, it doesn't matter. 304 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: Either they're stealing the money and not spending it on 305 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: the roads, or there are spending it on roads. But 306 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: like high speed rail, just never quite accomplishes anything because 307 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: the money is stolen at some point, either before it 308 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: goes to fix the roads or after it's allocated to 309 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: fix the roads. But somebody is running off with bags 310 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: of money like they did with igh speed rail. All right, 311 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Coming up next, The Alsagundo Times weighs in with a 312 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: big story on record gas prices, electricity woes, shows California's 313 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: worsening energy vulnerabilities. It's all self inflicted. We'll talk about 314 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: it coming up. Johnny ken Cafi Office People.

All right, we 325 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: were talking yesterday quite a bit about the record gas 326 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: prices LA County out the Inland Empire, San Diego County 327 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: of all hit all time highs, and apparently the price 328 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: even went up again today. We took a look at 329 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: a couple of articles, including an opinion column in the 330 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, to give us a few clues. Now, 331 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: it's a front page story in the El Segundo Times 332 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: by a reporter named Grace Tuey. Record gas prices, electricity 333 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: woe show, California's worsening energy vulnerable comes complete with a 334 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: picture of a gas station. It's a chevron in downtown 335 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: LA with a price for regular eight dollars and thirty 336 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: five cents. Wow, yeah, it's yeah. I saw one entirely 337 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: in the sevens. Today, there will be there were always 338 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: back when gas was three something a gallon, there was 339 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: probably places with four and five dollars prices. So I 340 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: was driving down Olympic Boulevard going Tory I go probably 341 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 1: in Westwood, somewhere around there, and I was in the sevenths. 342 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: This is entirely self inflicted. Even though the La Times 343 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: has to admit that this is all part of our 344 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: effort to become the leader in fighting climate change and 345 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: reducing the dependence on gasoline vehicles. They admit that, but 346 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: no one else is following our path. Because a friend 347 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: of mine sent me a text a message landed in 348 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: Newark Airport yesterday and the gas was three oh five, 349 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: and today the cheapest I could find I went to 350 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: the cheap station in Van Nuys I told you about 351 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: was six thirty five. Mostly it was in the six 352 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: fifties and six sixties, some in the sevens So at 353 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: Newark Airport, New Jersey and get gas for three oh five. 354 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: And New Jersey is a full blooded Democratic state. Well, 355 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: in California, unlike New Jersey, they decided we're going to 356 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: become a leader in transitioning and they started it with 357 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: these special blends. And apparently a lot of refineries and 358 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: the country do not make this special blend. So if 359 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: California's refineries or haven't any problems or like, they all 360 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: right now down from maintenance, that does reduce the supply 361 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: because you can't just get the gas from another state. 362 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: They don't have the right blend. They're still in the 363 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: summer blend right now because no other state uses it. 364 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: They know, so the refiners don't want to make it 365 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: because there's only a one market product. So they say, 366 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: let's your refineries out there produce it then for your drivers. 367 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: So when they when they use this stupid term that 368 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: California is a fuel island, it's because we created a 369 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: set of laws and regulations that have made our market 370 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: different from any other state in the Union, and all 371 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: the oil companies find it difficult to deal with, and 372 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: often now they don't. I mean, we've lost thirty six 373 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: refineries in the state since the nineteen seventies, thirty six 374 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: of them. And as I mentioned yesterday, our policies make 375 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,959 Speaker 1: the oil companies go on. We're not going to expand 376 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: operations in California. When the refineries run its course, just 377 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: close it down and we'll head out and we set 378 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: up shops somewhere else. That's what's happened there fifty years. 379 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: Could you could make the same amount of gasoline at 380 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: a new refinery in another state, you don't have to 381 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: do it here. Yeah, well, and we are run by 382 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: knuckleheads who think that if they frighten you with enough 383 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: apocalyptic nonsense about climate change, that you're going to end 384 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: up buckling and going along with it and pay your 385 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: eight dollars for gas, give up your gas powered car, 386 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: and go electric, even though those things cost seventy five 387 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and it's all for nothing. Because we've had 388 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: this guy on a number of times on the show 389 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: You're in Lomborg with the Copenhagen Consensus. He is an 390 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: energy analyst. He says, yeah, there's some global warming going on, 391 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: but there is nothing California is going to do to 392 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: stop it. He wrote another piece today saying that this 393 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: net zero climate policy offers much pain and little gain 394 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: and all is going to all it's gonna do is 395 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: cost us a tremendous amount of money, and other countries 396 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: aren't going to do this. India found this policy would 397 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: be so costly that even to make a start on 398 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: the process of going all green, New Delhi would need 399 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: Western nations to pay one trillion dollars. In fact, India 400 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: and other developing countries have demanded one point three trillion 401 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: dollars in climate financing every year by twenty thirty, on 402 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: top of what's already been promised. So they have said, 403 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: you want us to do this, you have to give 404 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: us over a trillion dollars a year, which of course 405 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: we're not going to do. Nobody has that. But here's 406 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: the thing you need to know how stupid we are. 407 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: Biden has this Inflation Reduction Act right really it's the 408 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: Green New Deal with a fake name on it. They're 409 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: going to spend three hundred and sixty nine billion dollars 410 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: at tax money promoting low carbon energy and electric vehicles. 411 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: The three hundred sixty nine billion dollars will reduce the 412 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: global temperature zero point zero zero zero nine degrees fahrenheit. 413 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: That's what three hundred and sixty nine billion dollars get 414 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: you if it's fully implemented, zero points zero zero zero nine. 415 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,239 Speaker 1: So this thing is a complete hoax. What you have 416 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: now is hundreds of billions of dollars in tax money 417 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: being sent to politically connected green energy firms who are 418 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: going to reap the benefits of having a Joe Biden 419 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: in office who they support financially. They did last time. 420 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: They will this type the same way all these homeless 421 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: nonprofits here in LA who donate to all the corrupt 422 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: politicians in LA get these big homeless contracts and don't 423 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: get anybody off the streets. These are all government accommodation 424 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: of private business and government rackets that they've created. Well, 425 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: the time spoke to a woman with the Western State 426 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: It's patrolling Association that they've been on our show many times. 427 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: They lobby for the oil and gas industry, and we 428 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: had one on the other day, and effectively, the state's 429 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: inhospitable policies towards oil and gas make it challenging to 430 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: keep providing products that Californians need to commute and travel 431 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: and understandable when rival and refineries do close down. These 432 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: companies are not just producing the energy Californians need, they're 433 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: fighting for their license to operate. And that's the idea 434 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean later on in the in the column it 435 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: says that's exactly what California is doing. The legislature has 436 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: put forward policy for the last fifteen years focused entirely 437 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: on reducing carbon emissions, to the neglect of reliability and 438 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: prices like those things they're offhand, like they don't matter. 439 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: Right now. So we have an unreliable gasoline supply and 440 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: an unreliable electricity grid. That's correct, all in the name 441 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: of and you know, and they even at the beginning 442 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: of this, maybe we're going too fast. Of course, haven't 443 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: come up with ways to help mitigate this for people. 444 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: We're nearly we nearly had a bunch of blackouts for 445 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: the second straight summer. Of course, of course this is 446 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: that's not just too fast, it's incompetently choreographed. These are 447 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: these are ridiculous ideas and then they're executed badly. What 448 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: Buring Lomborg writes here, and this is a part that 449 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: Dope Newsom missed that if you're going to have um 450 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: solar and wind, it only works if you have massive 451 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: amounts of backup power, mostly fossil fuels, to keep the 452 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: world running when the wind dies down, the sky clouds 453 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: over or nightfalls. And so the world still gets eighty 454 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: percent of its energy from fossil fuels. Renewables just deliver 455 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: fifteen percent. And this won't change anytime soon. No, And 456 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: this column in the Times makes it sound like, well, 457 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: it's just it's a transition, and it might be painful. 458 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: We don't know that this idea of transitioning to alternative 459 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: fuels may not work out. The electricity grid, as you 460 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: just said, can't be run just by solar and wind. 461 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: There's just not enough of it. It already failed. None 462 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: of this is getting better. It already failed. They're stuck 463 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: because as people are being going to be forced into 464 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: electric cars or feel that's their duty, that's going to 465 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: further overwhelm the grid. And we have a rickety electrical 466 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: grid if you haven't noticed, and there's no charging stations. 467 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe there is not one single 468 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: sector of this concept you can point to as saying, wow, 469 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: look at that. That's a big success. No, every component 470 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: is a failure. And all right, nobody's trying this around 471 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: the world. Johnny Kenshaw and caf I Am six forty 472 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. The Riverside County Sheriff 473 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: Chad Bianco is coming on after three o'clock and a 474 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: long story on what's going on out there and side 475 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: county about fentanyl deaths. Let's put it this way. He 476 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: has sheriff's investigators and he says the county averages eighty 477 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: to one hundred homicides a year. He has twenty investigators 478 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: to work those cases. In comparison, he has four investigators 479 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: and one sergeant who are investigating four hundred and eighty 480 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: two active fentinyl related deaths countywide out in Riverside County. 481 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: But they have made it a mission he in the 482 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: DA Mike Hestron, to try to go after these drug 483 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: dealers who were handing out this fentinyl and people are dying. 484 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to the sheriff. You know, you know 485 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: how bad it is. There's a group called Families Against 486 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: Fentanyl and they did an analysis and they're saying almost 487 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: seventy nine thousand people ages eighteen to forty five died 488 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: in the last day two years twenty twenty, twenty twenty 489 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: one nationwide of fentanyl and it's the leading cause of 490 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: death ahead of COVID and answer, so this is a 491 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: real thing and two milligrams can kill you, all right? Well, 492 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: Deborah Marks, people are at it again night. Well, the 493 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: game between the Rams and the forty nine ers. Here 494 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: they come with the pink flares. I was at the 495 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: Bill's Rams game the first night of the NFL season 496 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: and one of these people came out I didn't understand 497 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: the pink flare, but apparently the pink flare is the 498 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: mark of this group that is protesting I guess harm 499 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: against animals. So all this pink smoke comes billowing out, yes, 500 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: direct action everywhere. They got past security. A couple of 501 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: them got onto the field, and of course, by now, 502 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: if you follow sports at all, you know that one 503 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: of them, a male protester, he got tackled. Yeah, this 504 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: guy with his pink flare gets leveled by a Rams linebacker. 505 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: I kept watching this over and over. Good. I couldn't 506 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: get enough of it. Yeah, because if you're watching live TV, 507 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: they did not show it. Oh, they didn't show it 508 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: on TV. They did not. I was watching the game 509 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: live and they showed it on ESPN two. I know 510 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: they did not on ESPN the man I was watching 511 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: Peyton and Eli myself, and they did not. Well they have. 512 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: They were talking about it, but they did not show it. 513 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: Eric I was watching, Well they have, they have. What 514 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: what Peyton Manning was saying was, oh, yeah, they got 515 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: one of these protesters and they just he got he 516 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: got tackled. But they kept the camera down with the 517 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: players where it happened, sort of up the field. I 518 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: think they matched their their play by play two video 519 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: that they had and yeah, I think that's what they 520 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: end ran later. We got it, We got the clip, right, 521 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: you want to play. They're told not to show this 522 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: live because it encourages these people, so they don't do that. 523 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: But there's always somebody shoots the video and then he 524 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: can show it later. All right, you can play with 525 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: They got a visitor on the field. Here, can we 526 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: rewind that? Eli?
