1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: We got the voiceline callers that'll visit us in the 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: five o'clock hour, and we are calling on the mob 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: members to get in here and help us throw a 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: hack into the dumpster that's coming along the way. Next hour, 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a candidate on a November 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: eight ballot for statewide office. This is the Superintendent of 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: Public Instruction. The person that is the incumbent in that 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: office is Well, you can see what the lockdowns, the 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: test scores. It's a miserable failure, probably worse than ever. 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: And maybe you wanna go with this guy. We'll talk 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: to him in one hour on the John and Ken Show. Well, 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, oh stunning move. Today he wrote a letter, 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: a letter I guess through the mail or is this 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: an email to the California Air Resources Board asking them 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: to let the oil refineries start making and distributing the 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: winter blend of gas because it'll be a quarter cheaper. Now. 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: The winter Blend was going to be marketed soon anyway, 18 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: but this would move it up maybe a month or so. 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: And this, of course is a very weak, tepid response, 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: and it's just an ask in a letter. We're going 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: to talk out of the Assembly, Republican leader James Gallagher 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: from you of a city about the price of gas 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: here in California, which is by far the highest in 24 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: the nation, and maybe he can tell us what's going 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: on in the world. James, how are you good? Okay? 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: All right, Well, we've we've lost patience here with this 27 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: gas price thing, because we saw yesterday in Mississippi the 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: gas is three out six in the city of la 29 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: at six twenty six, So that's three dollars and twenty 30 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: cents higher here. I know the taxes here are ridiculous, 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: the highest in the nation, but the taxes only explained 32 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: about a third of the price differential. So what's going on? Look, 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's very obvious and everybody can see it. 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: And I think all of California frustrated with this. We 35 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: are seeing prices go down in every other state going 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: up here. It's purely a matter of policy, and you know, 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: you hit on one of those things. We have the 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: highest taxes and fees, and so that's a big part 39 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: of why our gas price is so high. But we 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: continue to pass these incredibly stupid policies like we did 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the legislature this year that's going 42 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: to curb domestic oil production. That's a good idea. Let's 43 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: empower more petro dictatorships. And then in the meantime, it's 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: going to make our gas more expensive. But why is 45 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: it more expensive? By far? Extremely far? Even Hawaii has 46 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: the gas is cheaper there, significantly cheaper. I mean, all 47 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: the reasons I hear don't explain why it's not going 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: on in the forty nine other states. There's something special 49 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: going on in California. And I mean that in a 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: very negative way. What's going on? Yeah, I mean the 51 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: special is you have a governor named Gavin Newsom in 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: a supermajority Democratic legislature that you know has empowered all 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: of this, you know, has led to all of these 54 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: high costs, not just for gas, but you know groceries 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: and utilities, Um, they're mandated policies, their fees um there. 56 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: But even you know that all lead to that. The 57 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: high end estimate I've seen for taxes, including all that 58 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: they hidden fees and and the taxes the you know, 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: the Greenhouse cast taxes on industry is maybe it's a 60 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: dollar fifty extra. We're three twenty more than Mississippi. What 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: accounts for the other dollars seventy? I think the other 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: thing that people identify as our lack of investment on 63 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: the West coast of refineries, you know, And so because 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: we have that lack of refineries, the you know, transport 65 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: costs and you know, the cost to get it to 66 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: you at the pump is a lot more, is a 67 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: lot higher, higher, higher than these coasts, higher than trying 68 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: to transport gas to Hawaii. Yeah, but again, you know, 69 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: California is at war with the fossil fuel industry about that. 70 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: I agree with all that. But still there's forty nine 71 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: other states that don't have the problem. There's plenty of 72 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: other states that are very are high tax, very liberal, 73 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: very anti fossil fuels. We're the worst, granted, but the 74 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: price differential between US and many other states is so 75 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: huge now that there's something missing in the story. I mean, 76 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: are the oil companies choosing to abuse us and not 77 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: the other forty nine states? No, I don't believe that's 78 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: the case at all. I mean, I think it is 79 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: absolutely a function of policy, you know, And Gavin Newsom 80 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: would like to blame it on any any other thing 81 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: other than the fact that you know, they have failed 82 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: Californians in a major way. And you know, like you said, 83 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: and you pointed out, what's he gonna do. He's going 84 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: to send a letter, Oh great, Well, why don't you 85 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: suspend the gas tax that would give a fifty seven 86 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: cents off a gallon? Right now? You know, why don't 87 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, reduce all the regulatory requirements that go into 88 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: that as well? You know, no, I don't think that 89 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a function of you know, oil 90 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: and gas companies are in the business of selling you know, 91 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: oil and gas, right, and they're they're going to do 92 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: that in every stage, right, There's no reason why they 93 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: would want to make it higher in one, you know 94 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: than another. All Right, So we've got a situation here 95 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: in this state where the gas prices are extremely high, 96 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: the crime rates are much higher, the homeless rates are 97 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: off the charts, right, We got more than half the 98 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: homest in the whole country. The taxes are the highest, 99 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: that's right. We got forty thousand businesses when out of 100 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: business with the COVID shutdown. We have school shut down 101 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: for a year and a half, and those latest test 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: scores are the most disastrous scores. Ever, there's like six 103 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: or seven really big issues going on here. How come 104 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: we don't have a Republican candidate. Most people don't even 105 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: know who he is. They don't even know his name. 106 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: Why why are the Republicans from the goobernatorial candidate on down? 107 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: How do you? How do you? How do you not 108 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: take advantage of this political climate when the state is 109 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: in such a disastrous situation. There's such a disastrous situation. 110 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: Why can't you capitalize on this? Well, I think we 111 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: are capitalizing on it. I mean we've been out there 112 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: very much in the news and the media talking about 113 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: gas prices, utility prices, you know, the homeless. Why why 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: why is the Republican candidate twenty seven points behind? Well, look, 115 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: I mean Brian Dolly is his name, and he has 116 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: been getting out around the state. Um, you know, certainly, 117 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: you know, we're up against a pretty big machine. You know. 118 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has you know, fifty million dollars in his 119 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: account and the media never challenges him. And why doesn't 120 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Why don't the Republicans have a machine anymore? Why don't 121 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: you guys have fifty million dollars? Why isn't anybody donating together. 122 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: What's it? We are putting that together. And I think 123 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: this cycle is going to be big for Republicans. I 124 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: think Republican candidates are going to win up and down 125 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: this state. Uh. You know, we're very we've been very 126 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: focus on districts. You know, for me in the Assembly, Uh, 127 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: districts all across California. How many seats are going to 128 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: take The voting starts in about ten days. How many 129 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: seats do you think you're going to take in the 130 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: Assembly and the Senate. I think that we're I think 131 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: that we're going to get eight seats in the Assembly 132 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: and and and that's where we're going out there, and 133 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: we're talking in all these districts. The number one issue 134 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: on everybody's minds has cost of living and inflation, and 135 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: we can directly point to democratic policies that have created 136 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: that for them. And when we're making the argument, man 137 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: like what do you got to lose? You keep going 138 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: with these guys and you're going to get more of 139 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: the same. You know, we as Republicans have plans to 140 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: cut your costs. We have plans actually have real solutions 141 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: and accountability when it comes to homelessness and crime. You know, 142 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: for God's sakes, let's make crime illegal again in California 143 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: instead of allowing this, you know, this rampant theft and 144 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: violent crimes that are And I hear, I hear everybody's 145 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: saying the right thing. And then the elections come and 146 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: you guys can't even get one third of the legislature. 147 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: They have a two thirds majority. They ram all kinds 148 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: of nonsense through with that two thirds majority, all the 149 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: tax increases. I don't understand why, with all the terrible 150 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: issues in the state, you can't guys can't make a 151 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: bigger dent. You guys don't have like one dynamic candidate. 152 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: Is there anybody that calls themselves a Republican or even 153 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: an independent because I'm not. I'm not a member of 154 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: the party. You have some great candids, I mean, yeah, 155 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: great candidates all across the state. Right, what's up? Great 156 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: candidates eventually jump out of the pack when they win, right, Well, well, 157 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: and that's what I'm trying to do, man, Like you know, 158 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: as Republican leader, I'm out there trying to get Assembly 159 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: members elected. But we have dynamic candidates at the at 160 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: the state level too. You know, Lonnie Chen I think 161 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: is running a great campaign for Controller, Nathan Hofman for 162 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: Attorney General. And we are all making this case that 163 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: we're talking about, and ultimately it is up to the voters. 164 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: And you know, and and my pitch to the California 165 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: voter is, you know, look, you've had enough with Gavin 166 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: Newsom of the Democrats. You know it's time to vote 167 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: for you know, new people and new ideas that are 168 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: going to turn this data around. Why do you think 169 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: he's so popular. I don't think he's as popular as 170 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: people think, you know, and I we'll see in this election, 171 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: we'll see how many people actually end up voting for 172 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: Gavin K. Newsom? And what does he really have to sell? 173 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: He has no record to see. I agree with you, 174 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: but at some point when you have a guy who 175 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: is that, you know, he's it's like a cartoon character, right. 176 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: He doesn't have much really going for him. And I 177 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: gave you seven issues where the state's a disaster, it 178 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: would seem knocking him off would be easy. Why is 179 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: it that there's nobody competitive? I mean, we got to 180 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: look at the facts here here that Brian Dowey's twenty 181 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: seven points behind. He's probably gonna lose by more than that, 182 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: So what's what's not adding up here? Ultimately it's up 183 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: to the voters. You know. We make the case, and 184 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: the voters are the ones who have to wake up 185 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: and say, look, we've had enough, We're going to change 186 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: our leaders. You know. I think we're making a compelling 187 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: case for why they should elect Republicans. But ultimately, at 188 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, and in a democracy, 189 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: it's up to the voters to make the decisions they 190 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: want to government, right, all right, So but my question 191 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: is why are your candidates up until this point not 192 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: connected with the voters. Why is Brian Dolly not connecting 193 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: with the voters. I think on election day we'll see 194 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: that we are connecting with the voters. I think that 195 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: when the votes come out, we are going to have victories. 196 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: And you know, for a long time, Yes, the Democrats 197 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: have been in power for a long time. Voters have 198 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: been voting with them. But we didn't even think. But 199 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: the energy disaster, the water shortage, those are two more things. Energy, water, school. 200 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: That's kind of all our business is closed, right the crime. 201 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: If you hear me talk home much, those are the 202 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: things I always talk about. Yes, there's more, there's more, 203 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: disaster issues than you can even fit into a fifteen 204 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: minute conversation, and and and still well, I wish you 205 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: guys luck, but we gotta we gotta run.

And also he's talking about a windfall 212 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: profits tax on the oil companies.

In fact, that a 220 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: moment we're gonna talk about something, we're gonna add to it. 221 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: I just didn't remember it until last night when I 222 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: saw a story. But it is for a lot of 223 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: the races and all of the statewide ballot measures. There 224 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: are seven of them. We'll tell you how to vote. 225 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: So you go to KFI eight M sixty dot com 226 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: the John and Ken page and you will see the 227 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: first edition of the John and Ken Voter, a guy 228 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: from November eighth. Because, as I said, we'll be adding 229 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: some things. I don't think we'll be subtracting anything, but 230 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: we'll be adding some offices or issues that we become 231 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: aware of. So far, I agree with all the choices. Thanks. Yeah, 232 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: we were debating yesterday the mobile device gambling measure, which 233 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: is Prop twenty seven, which you know when you see 234 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: the commercials, oh my god, it's out right. You see 235 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: the latest one of our people. They have a bunch 236 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: of people from Boston with Boston the accents and New 237 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: Yorkers and I we're gonna take it all your money 238 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: because I guess the companies that are running this or 239 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: from the East Coast that nobody cares. Did you think 240 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: there are people who still object to gambling in a 241 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: moral way. No, I mean no, I think that's the 242 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: funniest thing at all, because technically, when you have um 243 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: those gambling pools at work, like on the Super Bowl 244 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: with the boxes. You can't do that. You can't do that. Oh, 245 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: I know that's illegal. All that, all the march madness, 246 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: that's what people are like, are you kidding me? March madness, 247 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: March madness. Pools? Sure, the Super brackets, the Super Bowl, 248 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: the betting that goes on at parties. You know they 249 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: put up the big board and you're supposed to guess 250 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: what the last digit is going to be for the 251 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: score of each team. All that's illegal. You've supposed to 252 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: have like a poker game for money in your house, right, 253 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: that's funny. Yeah, So the answer your question is no, 254 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: people don't. I mean, look at Las Vegas. I'm just 255 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: surprised and the percentage of California that goes to Las Vegas. 256 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: I know there's still away their money, they're still voting. 257 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: It's like still a controversial issues, like people are gambling 258 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: and then and then the scolds go, well, you know 259 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who get addicted to gambling. 260 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: It's like, well, that's their fault. But let's be clear 261 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: about this. The opposition to Prop. Twenty seven, which is 262 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: the mobile gambling any device canal gambling by it's coming 263 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: from the tribes, right, because the tribes wanted this. This 264 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: is a big pool of money, and that's why they 265 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: put Prop twenty six up there, which would allow you 266 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: to go to one of the tribal casinos to do 267 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: sports wagering. So that's the and we said no, because 268 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: that screw They never want any competition. That's really I 269 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: don't think it's church groups who are spending them money 270 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: for No on twenty seven, or moral groups whatever you 271 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: want to call them. I don't know, they're still church. 272 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: It's really the tribes that are trying to stop that. 273 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: I understand that, which I which I fought, which I 274 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: kind of understand because they've had almost a monopoly on 275 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: betting in California, right that they're the ones that ainos 276 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: and all this. So this this is going to divert 277 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: a lot of money away from their casinos and into 278 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: people just sitting at home betting on games. Gambles want 279 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: will bet on anything. They don't have to go to 280 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: a casino and play those games. They could sit at 281 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: home and watch, you know, a spring training baseball game 282 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: and bet money on it. I mean, it's a big 283 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: draw in Vegas to do sports betting. I like to 284 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: do that. In fact, I think I do that more 285 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: than I sit there with the slot machines of the 286 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: card tables. I like to bet on. How much money 287 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: does it take to get you really rebbed up on 288 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: a bet? How much money? Right? Yeah? How much do 289 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: you have to bet where you really get? Oh? No, 290 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: I guess I might bet the most I have a 291 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: bet on one game was one hundred or one hundred 292 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. I don't bet that much, but that 293 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: doesn't that doesn't make you tense or anything. No, but 294 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: it makes me more into it. When I'm watching it, 295 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: I do kind of have definitely more interest. And I 296 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: used to go on bet on March Madness and you've 297 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: bet like five games at once, and you're all watching 298 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: them on the TVs and like, oh, this one I 299 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: gotta win by three points of this one, I gotta 300 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: lose by I gotta cover, I gotta cover. It does 301 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: it does get a little maddening, but it's fun to 302 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, I look at that, but this time I 303 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: came out ahead. At times is not the case. So 304 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: if you want to go look at it, and as 305 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: I said, we'll be adding to it. In fact, what 306 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: we're going to put up probably very soon, is a 307 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: no one A measure that on COBELT will vote on 308 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: not me measure U l A United to House LA. 309 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: The mansion tax, an additional tax on commercial and residential 310 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: property sales that exceed five million dollars. The money is 311 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: to go to the homeless industrial complex. I can guess 312 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: you're a yeah, and so is Bass and Caruso. They're 313 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: not supporting this, neither one of them. Well, Caruso, I 314 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: could understand. Well, I said that she thinks, well, people 315 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: are frustrated with how pass money has been spent to 316 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: address homeless. Yeah. I don't think any more tax money 317 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: should be spent on the homeless. Not a pennymore. In fact, 318 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: some of a lot of these taxes are to be rescinded. 319 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: It's not helping, they're not building housing. It's it's it's 320 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: a racket. I think that needs to be blown up 321 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: and started over. I think there should be a US 322 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: Attorney on to look into, using the RICO Statutes, the 323 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: Racketeering Corruption Statutes, to look into the nonprofit homeless uh 324 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: complex here in the Los Angeles, look into the government 325 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: that that corrupt Losa Institution, Look into who on the 326 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: city Council and in the Mayor's office has been taking bribes. 327 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: How many of their friends are running these fake nonprofits? 328 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: You know what? What what's Mike Bonden's connection to to 329 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: all the nonprofits that now they're putting out fake homeless numbers. 330 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: The other day we found out that a quarter of 331 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: Venice supposedly has zero homeless when it's when it's the 332 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: quadrant that has the most homeless. So I think there's 333 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot of criminal stuff going on and really should 334 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: get a US attorney's investigation into this. I think it 335 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: would draw in a lot of executives of these non 336 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: homeless nonprofits, and would drawn a lot of politicians and 337 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: politicians relatives and friends. And I think if this was 338 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: going on in New York, you know, you'd have a 339 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: huge investigation because that's what they always did in New York, 340 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: going back in the day's Rudy Giuliani. They used the 341 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: rackets here. That's how they brought down the mafia, you know, 342 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: And this is this is like, in a financial sense 343 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: the mafia out here. They're not violent, but it's a 344 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: big money sucking racket. All right. Johnny ken Chunk, I 345 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: am six forty live everywhere in the iHeart Radio app. Hey, Mike, 346 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: glad you can join me for some great seafood, Me too.

Right, yes to Popeyes? 349 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: Do you even know how to fish? No? I thought 350 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: you need. Oh yeah, I could catch pretty good seafood 351 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: and Popeyes. Let's go. Let Popeyes do the fishing while 352 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: you enjoy our delicious signature seafood.

Let 354 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: me time at participating US restaurants. All right. We do 355 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: not have on our voter guide at the moment a 356 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: recommendation as to who to vote for for the state 357 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: Superintendent of Public Instruction. First of all, I'm not sure 358 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 1: what that how powerful that office is, but anyways, controlled 359 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: by the teachers Union for years, it's hard to unseat 360 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: anybody the teacher's Union wants in that position. So we 361 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: should ask our guests since he's running for the office. 362 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: That's right after four o'clock. We do have a guest 363 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 1: who is opposing the incumbent. His name is Lance Christiansen. 364 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: He will join us at four oh five. The current 365 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state of California is 366 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: Tony Thurman, and he's hiding all the garbage test scores 367 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: that the students suffer the should have suffered from after 368 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: their schools were closed for a year and a half. Yeah, 369 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: he wants to get reelected first because he was the 370 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: last he was on board with the school closing policy. Yeah. 371 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: I remember the last time we probably talked about this race, 372 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: we had a candidate on I think he was opposing Thurman, 373 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: and he was all about the charter schools, which I 374 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: still don't think is a bad idea. But the wow, 375 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: the teachers union, man, they'll circle the wagons to stop 376 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: charter schools. You know, the charter schools are still part 377 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: of the school district, but they operate independently, and the 378 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: unions don't like that. Well, in LA, the teachers union 379 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: are a bunch of bullies because they know they have 380 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: parents of a lot of minority kids who are very poor. 381 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: A lot of the Hispanic families don't speak English, and 382 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: they're intimidating and afraid, so they're not going to challenge 383 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: the teachers. They're not going to make any kind of protest, 384 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: and so the teachers bully these people. And you talk 385 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: about disproportionate, you talk about racism. It's the LA Teachers 386 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: Union against all the minority children, closing the schools on 387 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: them for a year and a half. And then everybody goes, oh, 388 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: I can't believe the disparity of the task scores. Yeah, okay, 389 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: you know what you did at this is what you did. 390 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: We'll talk to uh he's a Republican obviously, and he'll 391 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: be on the bat There's only two people in all 392 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: these races. Lance Christiansen will join us after the news 393 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: at four or five to talk about all this. You 394 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: know who made an appearance yesterday and it seems rare 395 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: that this happens these days. Mayor yoga pants Eric Garcetti 396 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: appeared at a press conference. He is still waiting for India. 397 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: Is that a movie? Waiting for India? I forget the 398 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: amount was, but apparently the lobbying firm that's working has 399 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: spent a fair amount of money lobbying. I don't know 400 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: who in Washington, d C. To try to get Garcetti 401 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: this ambassador ship. At this point, you'd think they've bribed 402 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: everyone they can bribe, and you know what, they're standing 403 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: down now. They were they're done because of the November elections. No, 404 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: he's never getting it. The Senate is done. They're done there, 405 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: they're in recess. I gotta go campaign. Not all of them, obviously, 406 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: but you know that they take a break. Everyone's playing 407 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: for ten because it turns out looks like you don't 408 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: need ambassadors. That's a that's a that's a fake job, right, 409 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean India it is. It 410 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: is a nice job. I would love to be an ambassador, 411 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: but I don't want to pick my country. It's it's 412 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: a fake it's a fake job. It's not a real job. 413 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: Because India has been in the middle of this whole 414 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: struggle with Russia, right the sanctions, because they're busy buying 415 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: tons of oil from Russia when we're trying to punish Russia, 416 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: and India doesn't seem to care about all the Ukrainians 417 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: getting getting bombed. So you think if an ambassador mattered, 418 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: we'd have one in India right now, right, But we don't. 419 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: I guess there's some staffer there who's probably drifted to 420 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: the top of the bowl. But uh, yeah, India, there 421 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: is somebody who is an acting ambassador. There's an India's 422 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: key because apparently they're looking kindly to Russia. They need 423 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: Russia sort of as an economic partner. So yeah, and 424 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: they're like they've been on the fence over this Ukrainian invasion. 425 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: They're over a billion people and they're they're about the 426 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: global vombing, right, They're they're building a huge number of 427 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: coal fired energy plants, so they're not cooperating with our 428 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: current obsession. Yeah, and and they've decided, well, how about 429 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,239 Speaker 1: they're they're not even trying the Biden administration get an 430 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: ambassador there because they're not. Clearly gar said, he's never 431 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: getting it. So if it was really important, you would 432 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: have had somebody else in that role. By down. Yeah, 433 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: they're going to the landed hang for a while. That'd 434 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: be funny if he just never fills it. And then 435 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't run and that's the end of that. It's 436 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: already over. So why did he appear yesterday? Well, John, 437 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: how about we get you floom f l u m 438 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: E Are you flamos by floomloom? Isn't that a ride 439 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: at it? You're you're an l EEDWP customer, are you not. Yes, 440 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: Now you can get a new smart water monitoring device 441 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: that will track your at home water use, can detect 442 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: leaks and create a water budget for you. Is this 443 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: a way for Big Brother to keep an eye on 444 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: the coblt household water? Is? I don't know. It smells 445 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: like it, doesn't it. Yeah, And then they'll use it 446 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: to decide to turn your water off. That's right, you're 447 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: using too much Dashians, they keep. Yeah, I live like 448 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: a Kardashian, don't. I'll bet you do. Take those big 449 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: bubble baths. I heard you fill the backyard pool with bubbles. 450 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: Then you swim in there for hours. Oh oh yeah, 451 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: and the jacuzzi. Sure, I just spend the whole day floating. 452 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: It floats, your own bubbles floating. Well there see. They 453 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: try these pilot programs, like there's a pilot program to 454 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: track your car mileage. Oh, don't sign up for that one. Yeah, 455 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: as we know what that one's. Well, that's the mileage tax. 456 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's that's the I heard that floated again 457 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: this week. That's the pilot program to tax you based 458 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: on how many miles you drive. Now here is a 459 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: program where they're going to be able to shut off 460 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: your water if you're using too much. Same thing. Remember 461 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: what was that official talking about out having a device 462 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 1: where the stake control your air conditioning system? Remember, oh yes, 463 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: sat down every one of those public utility people. I 464 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: think was everything about this administration and this legislature is 465 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: having the government control the Oh yeah, because people left 466 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: to their own devices do the wrong things, John, and 467 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: we have to control them. This is not going on 468 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: again in the other forty United States. This is very 469 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: Soviet Union ish. But Garcetti pits this like it's going 470 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: to save you money. It's going to figure out where 471 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: the problems are with your water usage. It's going to 472 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: be brilliant. In fact, they're offering a discount John. You 473 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: can get it right now for twenty four dollars. There's 474 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: no regularly sales for two hundred, like one of those 475 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: late night TV commercials. And if you act now, you 476 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: can get two. But they but I only have one house. 477 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 1: They still who can get two? They act as if 478 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: your water usage is beyond your control. I know exactly 479 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: what water we're using because I turn on the faucet 480 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: and I turn off the faucet. What about watering your lawn? Right, Well, 481 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: we set the timer, just start and finish. What about 482 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: those long showers, same thing. I'm in control of that. 483 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: So I am spending exactly as much money as I 484 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: want to spend on water. I'm using as much water 485 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: as I want to because I'm in control. Water just 486 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: can't spontaneously erupt out of the piping system. You have 487 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: to decide you're going to turn on the water. Well, 488 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: they're saying they might be able to detect a leak. 489 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: Maybe there's some little leak you're not aware of in 490 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: the house and system somewhere. I had one I didn't know, 491 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: and one day I was standing here, I'm like, I 492 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: hear water running, and I had a guy coming. Look. 493 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: He said, yeah, you got a leak. That was that 494 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: was expensive. Yeah, but I also got tipped off by 495 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: a higher than usual water bill. Right, Well, that that 496 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: happens once every ten years. You have that situation. That's 497 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: not a good enough reason to turn over your system 498 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: to the government. So Garcetti can sit there at a 499 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: big screen and watch everyone's water usage. Well, they're going 500 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: to have people doing that. They're gonna have alarms going off, 501 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: and this is what they want. They want a system 502 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: where an alarm goes off, and then they'll turn off 503 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: your water, or they'll like they want to turn off 504 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: your air conditioning, like they want to track you and 505 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: charge you for the mile as you run. It's a 506 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: state controlled life. They do this stuff in China, They 507 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: do this stuff in communist totalitarian states. They don't do 508 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: it in free states and free countries. And it's creeping up, 509 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: and that's that's their plan incrementally, and it's always sold 510 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: to you as a really cool, happy idea. Why you 511 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: know this? This way you'll be able to track how 512 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: much water you use. I know how much water I use. 513 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: I look at the bills. I can average it out. 514 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: I know when the high season is, in the low 515 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: season is. I know the summers of a higher electric 516 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: bill because of the air conditioning and the winters are lighter. 517 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: I know all this. I don't need the government help. 518 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: I don't need anybody tracking my air conditioner or by water. 519 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: But people have become they've been turned into little infants. 520 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: Mommy daddy helped me. How much water am I using? 521 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: How much higher conditioning am I using? Could you monitor 522 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: it for me? Well, when we come back. There's another 523 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: way you can be a big weenie in the neighborhood. 524 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: Besides the water monitor, it will explain what that is. 525 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: Johnny Kent Show, kf I Am six forty live everywhere 526 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: in the iHeartRadio app However, we'll be talking to a 527 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 1: man who wants to be California's next statewide school superintendent. 528 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: His name is Lance Christiansen.

He also announced that John, 537 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: if you want, they are resuming the neighborhood speed hump program. 538 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: They did this. I've never had a speed hump. Between 539 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen and twenty twenty, they installed eight hundred speed humps. 540 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: They hate those things in the city of La Oh. 541 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of them around the corner. For me, 542 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: I can't stand them. Oh you already have them. Oh 543 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: we got yeah. But make a right turn. There's a 544 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: bunch of humps. But make a left turn from that, 545 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: there's more humps. If I make a right there's another 546 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: set of humps. I'm all humped out. I can't get 547 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: anywhere in my neighborhood. See it keeps you going slow 548 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: is your car will go flying in the air. Some people, 549 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: I know it's people that are really drive reckless. He 550 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: don't care. If there's humps, it is gonna fly right 551 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: by anyway. They can hurt though, if you hit them humps. 552 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: Well the hump hurts, yeah, I mean it could slam. 553 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: It could compress your your neck up against the roof 554 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: of the car. Oh, betting on the kind of car 555 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: you have. Yeah, now you see it. I know some 556 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: of the Yeah, the hype what they call high profile vehicles, 557 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: like you have those SUVs that could really They used 558 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: to have bumps, you'll really bounce. But people started sewing 559 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: the city over bumps because they were high. It was 560 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: like a higher pitch to them. They were steeper, and 561 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: they were they were getting neck and spinal injuries from them. 562 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: So then the city replaced the bumps with the humps, 563 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: but you still can't take them that fast. So here's 564 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: what they do. And of course one of the key 565 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: things is they want to make sure they do this equitably. 566 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: I didn't like that word in there. That's right. We 567 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: distribute our hump resources equitably around in the city. So 568 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: in other words, John's rich West Side neighborhods aren't getting 569 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: all the humps. Oh, we got plenty of humps. Yeah. 570 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: I would imagine you have the people that want the humps. Yeah, 571 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: well the people probably do. The people that want the humps. 572 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: You also the people that do all the speeding too. Yeah, 573 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: those people are a bunch of humps. They considered the 574 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: speed limit, the incline, the width, and the drainage conditions 575 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: on the street. Our neighborhood doesn't have those those crazy 576 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: people doing the doughnuts and the spinouts. That's true. No 577 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: six street bridge people. No, So I I a street 578 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: takeovers where you are? Yeah, exactly. I'd never like to 579 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: see you going in circles. That'd be funny. How do 580 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: you how do they do that? I mean, how do 581 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: you do This is a technique, and I think the 582 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: tires have something to do with it, and the type 583 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: of car. I don't know. It doesn't happen on my block. Uh. 584 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: You have to apply to be considered for a speed 585 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: hump or humps. The dot City's Department Transportation comes out 586 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: and does this technical review, and I like this, we will, 587 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: and then they consider a community engagement process to determine 588 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: the street seligibility. That's where all the irritating people come 589 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: out and they're porching up. Yeah, you know, people just 590 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: drive too fast here, They drive too fast. Is that 591 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: your take on that? It's more about the naggers than 592 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: people driving fans? Yeah, it's more about what percentage of 593 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: naggers do you have living on your block with nothing 594 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: to do? Because you almost somebody goes by at sixty 595 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: miles an hour. Yeah. These are people who don't work, 596 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: so they're not in a hurry going anywhere. I remember 597 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: years ago you complained about any television comedian who went 598 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: flying down your street. I still remember his name. What's 599 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: his name, John Lovett? Oh yeah he was, Yeah, it 600 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: was John Lovitz, it was. And you said he was 601 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: a speeder, he was a demon. Yeah. Well I didn't 602 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: want to hump him. That's and your kids were small. 603 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: Yeah no, well we just stayed off the off the 604 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,479 Speaker 1: street when he was run. But he sort of complained. 605 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: You said, oh, well he was. He was hunched behind 606 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: the wheel. He was egregious, all right. Coming up the next, 607 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: we decided to, especially with the news this week that 608 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: the statewide student test score release will be delayed. Why 609 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: because they're awful thanks to the lockdowns of twenty twenty 610 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one.
