They are changing rapidly who 31 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: they're voting for. We will tell you all the details. 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll surprise you. And people are not voting 33 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: the way they used to. It seems like the last 34 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: bastion of progressivism is wealthy white women, but many of 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: the people in the minority demographics are moving away from 36 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: it and want no part of it. And it's a 37 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: fascinating story written by a guy who spent his entire 38 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: life analyzing this thirty thing. I'll talk about it coming 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: up after four or thirty today. All Right, perhaps you're 40 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: like me, and you get exhausted by certain topics and 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: certain stories. You do a radio show every day. There 42 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: are certainly stuff you just never want to hear again, 43 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: because after a while everything has been said, people are 44 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: hardened into their positions, and everyone runs to the base, 45 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: their same battle station, it says the same thing, and 46 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: at the end of it all, nothing changes, nothing happens, 47 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: and there's a reluctance even to say out loud, Hey, 48 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: we've had this conversation fifty sixty one hundred times in 49 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: a row and we've come to the same dead end. 50 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: So at the very least stop it, come up with 51 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: a new angle or something persuadable. Now everybody just shouts 52 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: at each other, bumper sticker type slogans, cliches, rantings on 53 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: social media, but there's no serious effort to change anything. 54 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: And near the top of the list, maybe the top 55 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: of the list, is a gun control and banning assault weapons. 56 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: And what most people don't know, because most people don't 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: know stuff, is that assault weapons were banned for ten 58 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: years in recent history, and then the band expired, and 59 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: when the band expired, nothing was done about it. Well, 60 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: why was the band? Why did the band expire? In fact, 61 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: who created the band to begin with? How did this 62 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: all work? All? Right? So here's the definitive story, and 63 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: this particular summary is from the New York Times today, 64 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: and you should remember as much as you can, and 65 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: the next time it comes up in conversation, this makes 66 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: for far more interesting conversation. In nineteen ninety four, the 67 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: Democrats were in charge. They had they had the House, 68 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: they had the Senate, they had the Presidency Bill Clinton time, 69 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: and they were about to outlaw an entire class of firearms, 70 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: semi automatic assault rifles, big crime bill they had. But 71 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: to win over moderates, they had to make two concessions 72 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: that at the time everybody thought was modest. One is 73 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: they would exempt twenty two hundred different models from the 74 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: list of prohibited weapons. This is what they needed to 75 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: do to compromise. But they were so desperate to do 76 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: something right. People say, let's do something, so part, in 77 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: part to appease the more moderate crowd in Washington, twenty 78 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: two hundred different models crossed off the list. They were 79 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: going to stay legal. The second one required that the 80 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: band be renewed in ten years. They passed it in 81 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, and in two thousand and four they 82 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: were going to revisit it, and everybody thought well, you know, 83 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: of course, people will renew it. In two thousand and four, 84 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: we have an agreement. Now in ten years, it'll just 85 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: be it'll be easy, right, just a formality. Well, it expired, 86 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: and nobody mounted a major effort to preserve it. And 87 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: people now are looking back and saying, how the hell 88 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: did this happen, especially after the Buffalo shooting and the 89 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: Uvaldi School shooting. But according to Brian Malty, who's a 90 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: top official with an anti gun group, he was with 91 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, they pushed to 92 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: reauthorize the ban, and Malty said, you look around and 93 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: there's an incredible sense of urgency. But back in two 94 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: thousand and four, there was no enthusiasm to renew the 95 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: ban among Democrats. None. By two thousand and four, Columbine 96 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: was in the rearview mirror. Crime was going down, and 97 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: everyone had kind of moved on. And back then you 98 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: had George Bush was president, although he said he would 99 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: sign the renewal, but he knew nobody was going to 100 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: pass it. And they interviewed current and former legislators, aids, activists, 101 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: and lobbyists at the New York Times and it says 102 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: the Democrats were unwilling to invest real political capital capital. 103 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: There was always popular support for the assault weapons band, 104 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: but they didn't want to go through the trouble because 105 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,679 Speaker 1: there was always political pressure from the gun crowd, and 106 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: Republicans and the gun lobby lobby have turned assault weapons 107 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: into a central tenet of their political identity, and so 108 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: there has never been a serious effort to ban assault rifles. 109 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Now for eighteen years, eighteen years, I don't know how 110 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: many gun debates, how many school shootings and workplace shootings 111 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: and all the rest we've had. And you hear this 112 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: saying because this inflames people's emotions, and it gets hits 113 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: on the internet, and it gets ratings on television. So 114 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: there's a whole industry, a whole business to shout about 115 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: this stuff. But then you delve into well, okay, well, 116 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: so why don't the five hundred and thirty five legislators 117 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: in Washington sit down and actually hammer out some kind 118 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: of a bill. That's because neither side is particularly interested 119 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: and the country is split on this. I just saw 120 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: Paul from Quinnipiac asked about a ban on assault weapons, 121 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: and fifty percent said yes, and forty five percent said no, well, 122 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: fifty forty five is pretty close. That is not a 123 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: clear mandate from the public, and the no people are 124 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: really loud and well financed, and that's the way the 125 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: world works. The many weapons were exempted, it was never 126 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: truly an outright ban, and semi automatic rifles already in circulation. 127 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: We're grandfathered into law, so millions of owners got to 128 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: keep and use their guns. Now. The mass shootings from 129 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties led to this temporary half band. 130 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: There was a school shooting in Stockton, California in nineteen 131 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: eighty nine, one twenty three people were massacred at a 132 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: cafeteria and Texas in ninety three, a man walked into 133 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: an office building in San Francisco and killed eight workers. 134 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: Diane Einstein drafted the bill and Joe Biden was chairman 135 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and he guided the bill 136 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: through the system. Have you heard anybody ask him why 137 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: did he allow the expiration date into the bill? Because 138 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: he's all gung ho now, he's all angry and horrified 139 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: and shouting and waving his fist in the air. This 140 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: guy was the last stop in the Senate and he 141 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: allowed the expiration date why doesn't anyone ever talk about this? 142 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: They banned a R fifteen s oozis Ak forty sevens, 143 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: among others, and at the time, the expiration date was 144 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: among the bill's least controversial parts. In fact, in all 145 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: the interviews the New York Times did, they couldn't find 146 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: anybody who remembered when it was inserted, and everybody thought 147 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: the renewal would not be a major problem. And by 148 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and four they Democrats mostly believed that the 149 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: assault weapons ban was directly tied to the Republican takeover 150 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: of Congress in nineteen ninety four a few weeks after 151 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: it passed, and even contributed to al Gore's loss in 152 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: two thousand. So they decided we're not going to touch 153 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: this again, and they have it now. They shout a 154 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: lot because it's really good to raise money with, and 155 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: you have to understand that when you hear your side 156 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: politicians shouting about something that never changes, it's because people 157 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: donate money when you do that, and that's what really 158 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: they want. But I've been telling people about this for 159 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: several weeks now. Nothing significant will be done, maybe a 160 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: little tinkering on the edges. John and Ken Show KFI. 161 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: What happens when all the minority groups that the Democrats 162 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: have counted on for all these years stopped voting for them. Well, 163 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: that's what's starting to happen, and that's one of the 164 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: secret stories behind the recall of chessu Bodine groups unexpectedly 165 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: have turned on this Democrat philosophy of police defunding the police. 166 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: No bail, no arrests, no incarceration, just let them run free, 167 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: steal what you want, assault whoever you want, no penalties, 168 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: not flying with a lot of minority groups, because they're 169 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: the ones who take the brunt of it. They're often 170 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: the victims. It just seems to be wealthy white women 171 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: who are the most ardently progressive, but they don't have 172 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: any they don't have anything to lose. They have not 173 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: because they live up on the hill away from all 174 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: the mayhem. Talk about that coming up because a pretty 175 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: shocking piece written by a guy very well known in 176 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: analyzing these trends over several decades. I'll talk about that 177 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: after four thirty. All right, So we were discussing how 178 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: the last assault weapons ban in the US expired in 179 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: two thousand and four and nobody did anything about it. 180 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: And nobody has tried seriously since. And that's the dirty 181 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: secret of Washington politics. The Republicans get a lot of 182 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: votes and money, but the Democrats are afraid they'd really 183 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: get blown out of office if they actually voted for 184 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: any kind of serious gun control, because that's what happened 185 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four, they feel, and they were never 186 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: going to let it happen again. So they talk a lot, 187 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: and they raised money off it, but they haven't done it, 188 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: even when they had full control of the House, the Senate, 189 00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: and the presidency. Here's this story. Givaldi the police chief, 190 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: Pete Aredondo, the guy who stood there with all the 191 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: officers and never went in to save the dying children. 192 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: According to this news report, Pete Aredondo said he intentionally 193 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: left his two police radios behind when he ran into 194 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: the building, making it difficult for him to be in 195 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: contact with most of the other officers on the scene. 196 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: He gave a phone interview with the Texas Tribune. Maybe 197 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: we can get an audio of this, because we just 198 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: got the news story. He left two radios outside the 199 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: school because he thought they would have slowed him down, 200 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: and every second mattered except remember, he ran into the school, 201 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: and then didn't breach the classroom, and nobody could tell 202 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: him that a girl was calling from inside the classroom saying, Hey, 203 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: there's eight or nine people still alive here, but he 204 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: didn't know that because he didn't have his radio, so 205 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: it's slowed. He didn't want to be slowed down getting 206 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: into the building. But then when he got into the building, 207 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: he stopped dead, didn't enter the classroom, he told the 208 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: Texas Tribune. One radio had a clip that may have 209 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: fallen off his tactical belt, while another had an antenna 210 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: that would have hit into him as he ran. I 211 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: guess he found that annoying. I guess the antenna couldn't 212 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: be retracted, but the radios would have connected him to 213 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: the campus and police networks. So he runs inside the 214 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: school and he's got no way to talk to the 215 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: outside world. So when the kids on the other side 216 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: of the door are calling nine one one, and one 217 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: girl repeatedly called for half an hour, he's that close 218 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: to that girl. The girl's trying to communicate, in effect, 219 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: to him by calling nine one one, and then they 220 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: were supposed to pass the message over the radio back 221 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: to Aredondo. I don't know why somebody didn't run in 222 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: with the message. He also, Arodondo said, wanted both hands 223 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: free to hold his gun so he could fire it 224 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: more accurately. What the hell if you're the commander and 225 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be giving the orders, you've got to 226 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: have the radio to get the information to give the orders. 227 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: You don't have to be the one firing the gun. 228 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there ended up being one hundred and forty 229 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: officers that showed up at the scene, representing many different 230 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: law enforcement groups. They didn't need him necessarily to do 231 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: the shooting, Aredondo said, based on prior experience, the radios 232 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: didn't work well in some of the school buildings, and 233 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: then he would have turned them off in the hallways 234 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: to avoid being detected by the gunmen. Well, I think 235 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: the gunmen knew there were a lot of police there. 236 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: He was barricaded in the room for an hour and 237 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. He might have gotten the idea, so he 238 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: couldn't get any real time information on his radio. And 239 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: he was the incident commander because of a fluke. Because 240 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: the Vivaldi, the Vivaldi School District had its own police force. 241 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: It's only six guys, but that meant that Rodondo, as 242 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: head of that police unit, had jurisdiction primary jurisdiction over 243 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: the shooting, even though there were other much larger, more experienced, 244 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: smarter law enforcement units standing outside in the hallway. Are 245 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: standing outside wrestling with parents. Aardondo now is claiming he 246 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: wasn't the incident commander. Now, the head of the Texas 247 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: Department Public of Public Safety, Steve mccross, said he was. 248 00:16:54,760 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: Ardando said no, he wasn't. They looked at the National 249 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: Incident Management System, which is the guidebook for all levels 250 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: of government, and according to that guidebook, he would have 251 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: been the commander. He was the first person on the scene. 252 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: He said, he didn't give any orders. He used his 253 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: phone to call for backup, and he assumed that another 254 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: officer or official had taken over as the coordinator. So 255 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: he was standing there doing nothing, thinking someone else was 256 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: in charge, even though the protocols would indicate he was 257 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: in charge. So this guy just didn't know what he 258 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: was doing and didn't take any any useful action. I mean, 259 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: it really seems like he was just a blockhead. Aradanda 260 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: said he didn't know the children and teachers in the 261 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: classroom were calling nine one one because of the lack 262 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: of the radio. So he just stood there, wasting time 263 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: and not telling anybody to do anything useful. There were 264 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: five different agencies there and he just stood there. But 265 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: then he claimed that not a single responding officer ever 266 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: hesitated even for a moment, to put themselves at risk 267 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: to save the children. Well that what did I tell 268 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: you before? How everybody now just lies in public and 269 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: denies reality. Yeah, Ultimately there were one hundred and forty 270 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: officers and for an hour and fifteen minutes nobody went 271 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: in there. But he says, no, there was not one 272 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: officer that hesitated even for a moment. What do you do? 273 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: Everyone seems to be incapable of accepting reality and acknowledging reality, 274 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: or they just lie right right to the grave. Seems 275 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: to be the strategy now, John and Kent cafe Ie. 276 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: If you were inside politics, roy to Schera would be 277 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: one of the guys say you're running, you're running for office, 278 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: You're you're you're with a high up at a political party. 279 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Roy to Share is a guy that you want to read, 280 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: you want to talk to. He's a political analyst consultant, 281 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: and he tracks what the different demographics vote for and 282 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: why because you know, we all fall into stereotype groups, right, 283 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: and that's how politicians look at us. All right, We're 284 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: all in some category at age group, a gender group, 285 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: an ethnic group, a race group, uh, you know, a 286 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: sexual orientation group. And there are major voting tendencies and 287 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: they try to identify them. And when they send out 288 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: a message, they're sending out a message to you. They're 289 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: sending out a message to you what they think your 290 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: stereotype is. Uh, and much of the time they're right. 291 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: So he wrote a story in the The site is 292 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: called the Liberal Patriot dot substack dot com. If you 293 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: want to read the whole thing, The Liberal Patriot. It's 294 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: actually quite fascinating. And it's a story about Chessa Boudine 295 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: getting recalled in San Francisco and how could this possibly happen? 296 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: And he explained why and he really should have been 297 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: able to see this coming. But he says, when voters 298 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, and he emphasizes San Francisco with an 299 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: exploation point, when they throw a progressive Democrat out of 300 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: office for failing to provide public safety. You know that 301 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: Democrats have an urgent need to assure voters that they 302 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: are in fact determined to crack down on crime and 303 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: to disassociate the party from approaches that fail. Now background 304 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: and roy to Sharif, He's has written as a Democratic 305 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: analyst for many years. He wrote a famous book with 306 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: a co author back in two thousand and two that 307 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: predicted the Democrats were going to have a good long 308 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: run of power because of all the immigrants that had 309 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: come to the country, especially on the Hispanic immigrants, who 310 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: are probably going to vote Democratic for a very long 311 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: time as they got older and ascended up the economic ladder. 312 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: That turned out not to be true, especially in recent years, 313 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: and he has since written about how wrong he was. 314 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: But the Democrats took his particular prediction his book as 315 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: gospel as gold. And now he's looking at all the 316 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: changes that have snuck up on the world, and he 317 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: said that the defund the police movement really allowed the 318 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: Democrats to blow an opportunity, and now San Francisco and 319 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: Chessibodine had become the poster child. The Democrats. Reputation is 320 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: they don't take crimes, especially lesser crimes that degrade the 321 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: quality of life seriously. So he got so Budein gets 322 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: kicked out sixty to forty. And as someone wrote today, 323 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: can you imagine getting kicked out? Can you imagine representing 324 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: a minority slice of people in San Francisco? In other words, 325 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: you're so far left you can't you lose badly in 326 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Well that's what happened. But he says, and 327 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking about roy to Schera said, there's a lot 328 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: of non white votes that voted to recall Bodine. According 329 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: to one analysis, forty percent of the votes to recall 330 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: came from majority white areas, sixty percent came from majority 331 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: non white areas. And it seems clear that Asian voter 332 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: support for the recall. It was particularly strong. The Asian 333 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: voters did not like what San Francisco was becoming. And 334 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: Asian voters are one third of the electorate in some 335 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: districts fifty percent. And wherever they're from, whether it's China 336 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: or India, Japan, Korea, they are not putting up with this. 337 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,479 Speaker 1: They don't consider themselves this kind of progressive. The most 338 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: enthusiastic supporters tend to be white, college educated liberals, and 339 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: I've seen other studies that said, especially women, they're driving 340 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: this left wing progressive train in the cities, and the 341 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: minority voters are getting off the train fast. That's why 342 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: Eric Adams won in New York as the mayor, because 343 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: Adams put public safety front and center in his political appeals. 344 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: You see Rick Caruso doing that as well in LA 345 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: and that's why he won the first round of voting. 346 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: And in fact, in New York, adams support was very 347 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: strong among working class and non whites, and this is 348 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: true all over the country. In Detroit, which is heavily black, 349 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: they found ninety to ten black voters Detroit residents would 350 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: feel safer with more cops on the street. More cops, 351 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: not fewer, ninety to ten in Detroit. I have never 352 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: seen a political movement that so badly misjudged its audience 353 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: then defund the police, claiming that minority voters wanted the 354 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: police not only out of the neighborhood but completely removed 355 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: from the city. That was the worst idea in the 356 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: history of modern politics. And these in the non white 357 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: and working class districts normally are democratic. But according to Tashera, 358 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: these voters live in areas that have more crime, and 359 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: therefore they're unlikely to look kindly on any approach that 360 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: threatens public safety. A recent Pew poll found that black 361 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 1: and Hispanic Democrats are significantly more likely than white Democrats 362 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: to favor more police funding in their area. Well, isn't 363 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: that the opposite of all the lies and propaganda that 364 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: we were fed by media and political leaders and activists 365 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: who claimed they were representing the views of black and 366 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: Hispanic voters in these neighborhoods. They didn't know. Did they 367 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: lie or did they get swept up in a hysteria 368 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: that was getting them attention and making the money. Maybe 369 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: all those things, It said, if you really examine the numbers, 370 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: starting in twenty twenty, you could see Asian support dwindling 371 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: for Democrats, the Asian vote for Democratic congressional candidates. It's 372 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: particularly in California. In New York City, the fast growing 373 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: Asian population in Queens swung strongly towards Donald Trump precincts 374 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: in New York City, where at least fifty percent of 375 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: residents or Asian swung twelve points towards Trump. The second 376 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: largest shift among racial enclaves and Queens precincts were at 377 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: least seventy five percent of the residents or Asian had 378 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: approach Trump swing of sixteen points with over a third 379 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: of the voters now backing Trump. And Biden last year 380 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: lost support twice as fast among Asian voters as among whites. 381 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: Virginia's heavily Asian. They have they have a category called 382 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: other race in Virginia in their analysis, and it's heavily Asian. 383 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: Biden's advantage went from nineteen points to six points for 384 00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: the Democrat running for governor. And all these results act 385 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: perfectly with what happened in San Francisco. They also were 386 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: angry with the school board in San Francisco. Asian voters 387 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: were behind that recall because they did not like the 388 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: idea that rigorous entrance tests for the Lowell School, which 389 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: was for elite academic students. They were getting rid of 390 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: the entrance tests and among other things, and the Asian 391 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: voters just hated that stuff. And Roy T. Shara is 392 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: telling Democrats, got to stop what you're doing. You're losing Asians, 393 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: you're losing Hispanics, You're even losing a lot of I 394 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: saw this in the Caruso analysis too. Surprising share of 395 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: of black men and Hispanic men went for Caruso. Things 396 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: are changing in front of us do not go by 397 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: the old stereotypes. More coming up, John and Ken Show KFI. 398 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: You know who we're going to have on in the 399 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: top of the five o'clock hour. Tracy Park. She ran 400 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: to a dead heat in Mike Bonnen's district and she's 401 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: who I voted for. I voted for Tracy Park, and 402 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: she's going to the runoff against Bonnen's handpick successor, and 403 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: they virtually tied in the first round. So we'll talk 404 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: to her coming up moistline two rounds of it next 405 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: hour as well. Caf I Am six forty. Tracy Park 406 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: is coming on the show after eleven o'clock. She's running 407 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: for counsel in my district to replace the evil, destructive, 408 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: horrible Mike Bonnen, and she ran against a bunch of people, 409 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: one of them was Bonnen's handpicked successor, and they finished 410 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: pretty much in a dead heat, about one hundred votes apart. 411 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: And they're both going to make the runoff for September, 412 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: and we're going to talk to Tracy Park coming up 413 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: after five o'clock. I don't know if you watched that 414 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: those hearings last night about the January sixth insurrection, which 415 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: is another one of those stories that I have just 416 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: burned out on because we all know what happened, and 417 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: as I guess, they had a very dramatic presentation about it. 418 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: But I was just reading the newspaper accounts and it 419 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: seemed like, all right, I know that, I know that, 420 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 1: I know that, and presumably they've arrested a lot of 421 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: the people who they could in charge with a crime, 422 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: and those people will go to jail. And we knew 423 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: Trump did not want to stop the riots and did 424 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: not want to tell people that's already been out there 425 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: for a year and a half. I guess the only 426 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: new thing was that Trump turned on his own daughter, Avanka. 427 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: You know, she was a high level advisor, and they 428 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: ran a video of Avanca at the hearings yesterday, she 429 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: was asked what she thought of the Attorne General at 430 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: the time, Bill Barr. Bill Barr had said unequivocally that 431 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: the election was not stolen and that the whole thing 432 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: was Bso he said the full word, and Ivanka Trump said, 433 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: it affected my perspective. I respected Attorney General Barr, so 434 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: I accepted what he said. So Trump's response was that 435 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: she was just she was not involved in looking at 436 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: or studying election results. She had long checked out and was, 437 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill 438 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: Barr and his position as Attorney general. He sucked. This 439 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: is Trump's response dissing his own daughter, saying she didn't 440 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: know what was going on anyway, she had checked out 441 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: and Barr sucked. You know, I am hoping that there's 442 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: somebody else that's going to run against Biden or Harris 443 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: or whoever who has some of the Trump policies. But 444 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: enough about the twenty twenty election on both sides. I've 445 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: had it with this stupid the election was stolen nonsense. 446 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: I've had it with the endless regurgitation about the insurrection. 447 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: It's like, we've got huge issues happening right now, right 448 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: this minute. I mean, I could go through the inflation list. 449 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: If you haven't heard it, We've been repeating it several 450 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: times throughout the show. Just how high the inflation is. 451 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: That's really all I want to hear about right now. 452 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who just want to a 453 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: way to stop the school shootings. You know, there's there's 454 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: there's a huge war going on which is impacting us 455 00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: here with the prices. If I heard twenty million people 456 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: watched the television coverage last night, which probably is a 457 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: decent night for the average network TV show in total, 458 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: but it's twenty million at three hundred and thirty million people, 459 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: so three of the country wasn't watching. I imagine it's 460 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: mostly older people who you're usually addicted to cable news, 461 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: so this is their their kind of drama, which is 462 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: fine if that's what they want to watch, but in 463 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: terms of what it's going to prove, it's not. I 464 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: don't think it's change in anybody's mind. You know, if 465 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: you think if you think the election stolen, it was stolen. 466 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: If you think that Trump engineered the insurrection, then that's 467 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: what you think. And the true is the opposite is true. 468 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: Because again we've digested this for a year and a 469 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: half and everybody who's been arrested should have been should 470 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: have been tried and jailed, or will be tried and jailed. 471 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: And ultimately, crimes are committed and then you have to 472 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: find the bad guys, find the perpetrators, and then put 473 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: them away. But this this constant fixation, and Trump has 474 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,479 Speaker 1: got a real I mean, this is a real mental 475 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: problem that he does not accept that he lost, and 476 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,719 Speaker 1: to even even be insulting his daughter. I mean, you know, 477 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: you got you got to gear up to run and win. 478 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: And maybe it would be better to have somebody else 479 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: run on similar policies, because a lot of the policies 480 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: he had was successful. But this, this stuff is gon 481 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 1: is gonna be a disaster. I but you know, I 482 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: can't control the world. I can't tell people what to do. 483 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: Here's the stuff that matters. If you haven't heard, the 484 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: inflation rate was eight point six percent, But most of 485 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: the stuff that matters in your life was up by 486 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: way more than that. Eggs in the last year is 487 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,959 Speaker 1: up thirty two percent, Chicken is up seventeen, whole milk sixteen, 488 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: lunch meat sixteen, bacon fifteen, coffee fifteen, and all the 489 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: foods up double digits, flour, fish, beef, rice, cereal, peanut, butter, 490 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: even lettuce up eleven percent. Energy is up a huge 491 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: number of the oil. The price oils up one hundred 492 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: and six percent, gas oil, diesel, electricity, everything is up huge. 493 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: And that's the main thing people are going to be 494 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: voting on. And that's what should be examined all day 495 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: and night. I don't think there's anything anybody can do 496 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: about it, apparently because you think for their own survival 497 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: they would do something. But I think they created such 498 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: a huge mess you can't dig out from under it. 499 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: And maybe if they jack up the interest rates tremendously, 500 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: that'll throw the economy into a deep recession. People will 501 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: buy less, prices will come down. That's what they did 502 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty two with Reagan and the and the 503 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 1: Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the time, Paul Volker. 504 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: They just massively raised interest rates. Interest rates were over 505 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,439 Speaker 1: twenty percent. In fact, I heard an analyst say today, 506 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: you got to get the interest rates higher than the 507 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: rate of inflation and then maybe something will happen. Well, 508 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: right now, the interest rates are still very low. You 509 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: may have to get him up to ten percent or more. 510 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: All right. Coming up, Tracy Park she ran to replace 511 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: Mike Bonnen and the eleventh council district on the west 512 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: side of La my district. We've talked about Bonnen and 513 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: his disaster, his disastrous policies for five years. Tracy's in 514 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: a dead heat with Bonnen's hand pick successor. We'll talk 515 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: about that and we come back.
