1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Calf I AM six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: you've probably heard about Trump, right, Well, we'll have more. 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: We got some of the sound of what was going 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: on in the streets this morning as the nuts from 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: both sides showed up in New York City to either 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: support Trump or protest the indictment, or I should say, 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: support the indictment. We'll get to that probably in the 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: three o'clock hour, but we're going to begin this hour 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: by picking up a big story from yesterday, the motion 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: by two LA County supervisors, and they actually called it 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: to depopulate and decarcerate the Los Angeles County jails. Talking 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: back in twenty one, they wanted to close the Men's 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: Central Jail, but this would take it further. This would 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: be although the Times headline says to decrease jail population, 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: the ideas to pretty much have nobody in the LA 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: County jails just turnatives to incarce any anybody who's in 18 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: there with a bail of fifty thousand dollars or less. 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: And these are people who've committed residential burglaries, aggravated assault 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: with a with a gun. Uh, felony possession of a gun. 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: If you are a felon and you're not supposed to 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: own one, you'd be led out immediately. Oh, possession of 23 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: child pornography. You get the idea. Oh, domestic abuse, abuse, 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: transic violence about that. So it's the men's Central Jail. 25 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: It's got fourteen thousand people in it, and they wanted 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: to throw thousands into the street who would then come 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: over your house and maybe kill you. And this is 28 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: held us a Lease and Lindsay Horvath, who are two 29 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: of the nuttiest La County supervisors of out of five 30 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: of them. They eventually withdrew the motion. Today was a 31 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: meeting of the Board of Supervisors. This came out over 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: the weekend, and then yesterday morning he'll disolite withdrew the 33 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: motion and eventually issued a statement. But again this part 34 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: was in the motion. It would direct the sheriff to 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: determine which inmates can have this alternative to incarcerated. Now, 36 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: if Alexa Villaneueva still sheriff, he would have told them 37 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: nobody is going to get released. Stuff it. But we've 38 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: got Robert Luna's the new sheriff, and Vienneueva describe Luna 39 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: as a puppet of the board. Have puppet of the board. 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get vien aueve on right now to 41 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: talk about what he thinks the puppet's gonna do. Alex, 42 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: how are you not too bad? How are you guys doing? 43 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: We're doing great? What what is? What's what's life like 44 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: these days? What are you up to? Oh? I'm up 45 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: to no good as usual. I'm raising a hell everywhere 46 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: I can. I'm doing Facebook Instagram Live every Wednesday at eleven, 47 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have a doozy tomorrow. We'll be talking 48 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: about your your favorite favorite supervisor Mark really Tom oh yes, 49 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: another one the new Felon. Okay, did they ever come 50 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: to you with this idea? No, what they've been doing, 51 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: and they've been doing it incrementally. They started back in 52 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when they canceled the project to tear it 53 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: down the jail Men Centro Jaim replaced it with a 54 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: mental health treatment center that was a plan at ten 55 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: year plan, and they paid an eighty million dollars penalty 56 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: for not following through on a construction that they already 57 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: had signed off. Eighty million dollars paid it to who 58 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: construction company because once you encumber the construction company on 59 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: a project, they don't take other projects, so they lose 60 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: financially if you don't follow through. So I guess it's 61 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: a non performance type penalty. You gotta pay them eighty 62 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: million dollars. Then they didn't end there. Then they spent 63 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: forty million dollars on a jail closure implementation team. Forty 64 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: million dollars. It didn't end there. Then they hired a 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: consulting for to decide how to close Men's Central Jail, 66 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: and the consulting firm told them you cannot close the 67 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: jail without a replacement. They ignored that civil grand jury 68 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: comes along exact same result. You cannot close Men's Central 69 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Jail without a replacement, and they ignore that. See, so 70 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: this is why you see, this is what I'm saying, 71 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: is they have no plans to ever replace this jail. 72 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: They just want to dump the criminals in the street. 73 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: And they're going to claim, well, this current jail is 74 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: a dungeon or you know, we can't treat mentally mentally 75 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: troubled the inmates in that jail. But they don't have 76 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: a mental health lockdown facility. They don't have another jail 77 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: that they're going to build. This is simply a dumping 78 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: of prisoners, but they have to dress it up for 79 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: the for the public to swallow it exactly. And they had. 80 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: They've been taken eighty one or nine the prison realignment 81 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: money from the state, over a billion dollars they've been 82 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: squirreling away, and they've been spending it on other projects 83 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: other than creating the you know, good facilities to treat 84 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: inmates with mental health, because we're still going to have 85 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: them no matter what they do, and they just don't care. 86 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: So where does that money gets what does that money 87 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: get spent on? Well, you have things called the Justice 88 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: Care and Opportunities Department. There's a nice Orwellian department Rola 89 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: right there. So were these at these just like jobs 90 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: that they give out to their friends and political donors, yep, 91 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: five or one C threes and they're contracting out you know, 92 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: traditional county got jobs, union jobs. They're contracting them out 93 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: to the five or one C three world. The homeless 94 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: industrial accomplice got to get paid somehow, right, And those 95 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: are all the nonprofits. It's like the homeless system, what 96 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: do you what do you think happen over the weekend? 97 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: This motion got leaked out to the media, got picked 98 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: up by Fox News, and then yesterday mornings, so Lease 99 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: pulls it. I guess they really heard like a landslide 100 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: worth the the objection to it. But look how dumb 101 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: this thing is. The two that put here, the ones 102 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: that got elected in the past election, but they needed 103 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: one more vote from the three people that are up 104 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: for re election in twenty four and somehow they thought 105 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: they were going to get a third vote. But then 106 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: long came the city or the county chief of Police Association, 107 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: the Deputy District Attorneys Association, contracts cities associations. They all 108 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: told them, are you out of your mind? So they blinked. Wow. 109 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: Apparently they did not talk to any of those organizations 110 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: you just mentioned before they even drew up this plan 111 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: and got it out there in the press. Why should they. 112 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: They're the mighty, the mighty queens. They don't need to 113 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: talk to anybody. What is wrong with SOLESA Horvath? Seriously, like, 114 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: what is wrong with them? This is one of the 115 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: most destructive things I've ever heard of in county government. 116 00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: They have a pathological belief that inmates are victims and 117 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: they're there because of systemic racism and we need to 118 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: rescue them. That is their beliefs, and I guess I 119 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: also believe they have some mental illness problems that can 120 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: be easily addressed, is what they're also talking about. Well, 121 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: all right, then tell me why don't they at least 122 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: build the mental health facilities and the drug treatment facilities 123 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: and you know, whatever jails that they would do, why 124 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: don't they build that first and then make a run 125 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: at this. Well, that would make sense. That's what we 126 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: proposed when we said, hey, we'll tear it down Men 127 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Center jail. So we got to build up the capacity 128 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: using Mariloma Facility East facility up at the wayside, Honor Rancho, 129 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: and then we're going to have to really struggle, but 130 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: we can make it work, assuming that we're going to 131 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: have a mental health treatment center with thirty eight hundred 132 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: bids including security high high security classification bids for those 133 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: that are in you know, the mentally ill who were 134 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: in for murder, rape, rob re Arson, you know, all 135 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: the you know, garden variety of crimes that we don't 136 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: really want on the street. Tell me, though, how two 137 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: women right two very liberal women. How can they abandon 138 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: all the women who get beaten up by their husbands 139 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: and boyfriends. Domestic users would be released without bail, a 140 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: child pornographers would be released without bail. How could they 141 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: abandon little children getting exploited. They want to be the 142 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: heroes to the activist crowd, the decarceration the abolitionist, all 143 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: the ones that are there with the bullhorn screaming at 144 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: their the board meetings on Tuesdays. That's the crowd they 145 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: want to play too, and they ignore the overwhelming That's 146 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: that's a tiny percent of the population though that that's 147 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: that's like less than five percent of people believe in 148 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: that crap. Yes, but look at what Hilda Silly said 149 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: very telling. Oh we heard from both sides. No, they didn't. 150 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: She did. She acted like it was fifty fifty. People 151 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: are split on this. I've heard from the three activist groups. 152 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this key to this would would 153 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: be Sheriff Luna. What do you think he would do 154 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: with this plan if it ever comes back around. Well, 155 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: look what he did already. He didn't say anything, that's true. 156 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: He didn't object at all publicly. I would have been 157 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: oh no, and I would have as soon as that 158 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: thing hit the hit the ground, I'd be on the 159 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: ground running thing.

It's a dead goat. It's a dead 212 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: goat anyway. You don't hear too many uplifting dead goat stories. No, Well, 213 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: it's about a little girl who took her goat and 214 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: she sold it to a fair and they auctioned it 215 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: off and it was slaughtered from meat. But before that happened. 216 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: She actually took it back. They stole it from the 217 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: fair and took it back to their home, and the 218 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: police drove hundreds of miles to retrieve that goat so 219 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: it could be killed. Terrible story. We're going to talk 220 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: to the attorney for the family at three oh five 221 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: of the Johnny Ken Show. Every time and then, you know, 222 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: you read a story and you're like, this can't be real. 223 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: Is it the Onion? If you're not familiar with the Onion, 224 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: is it still john sort of? You know, it's always sarcastic. 225 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: Everything is sal in the Union. Well, the headline is 226 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: Sacramento Homeless Encampment wins a lease and hopes to be 227 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: a model for California. All right, when I explain this, 228 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: you'll see what I'm talking about when I thought it 229 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: was a joke, because the one thing that stands out. 230 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: They've got a union, the National Union of the Homeless, 231 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: the National Union of the Homeless. They had a press 232 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: conference the other day. This is a They actually named 233 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: this homeless encampment Camp Resolution. Again another I'm shaking my head. 234 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: It's named Camp Resolution. They've reached an agreement with the 235 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: city of Sacramento. All right, it's not legally binding, but 236 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: when you hear it unbelievable. It's a lease agreement. And 237 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: here's what it says. Anthony Prince is the attorney for 238 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: the California Homeless Union who represented the residence of camp 239 00:13:53,800 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: resolution in negotiations with the city. You cannot take this 240 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: encampment down until such time as every single person in 241 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: this camp is provided with individual, durable and permanent housing. 242 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: Housing does not mean some shelter where there's a thousand 243 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: people all congregating together. It does not mean a pop 244 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: up tent encampment. It does not mean a sidewalk. It 245 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: does not mean a street corner. It means a durable 246 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: place to live like a human being. Oh, this really 247 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: is a load of feces Sacramento by who runs Sacramento, 248 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: Darryl dope Steinberg. Yeah, oh, I know. He's been a 249 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: political parasite for decades and an exactly idiot, an adiot? 250 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Did he did he sign the other end of this thing? 251 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: Somebody did with the city. I don't know who. It 252 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: doesn't say, but it's an agreement with the engine people 253 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: who willingly took drugs, injected themselves with drugs, drank enough 254 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: booze never went to get any mental health treatment. They 255 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: made these choices in life. They've made the choice not 256 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: to get a job, not to take a shower, not 257 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: to live in a decent manner, and then they make 258 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: demands on the city for not a shelter, not a bed. Right, 259 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: that used to be the request, that that was the 260 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: way to help you get a leg up, and that 261 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: you want a temporary shelter till you can figure out 262 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: what's going on and get your life in order, and 263 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: then you get your own place. This is what happened 264 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: when the city started providing beds and shelters. It's like, no, 265 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: not good enough. Not good enough a durable individual permanent 266 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: housing that means like a big apartment building. Everybody has 267 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: their own private apartment and something like that. Nobody ever 268 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: tells them to go f off. We're not here, we're 269 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: not working for you. We're not We're not here to 270 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: create a tax base for you to live off of 271 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: us for free. Because you don't have the good sense 272 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: not to get addicted to drugs or booze. You don't 273 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: have the good sense to go get mental health treatment, 274 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: and you won't take any help and advice. You won't 275 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: take the treatment. You'll take the medication, you'll take the shelter, 276 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to build you a house and pay 277 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: for it. Seriously, every resident in camp resolution has to 278 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: be placed before they pull down the encampment. So I 279 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: don't know how many are there. It looks like from 280 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: the picture at least dozens, maybe more than that. How 281 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: long before Karen Bessetti signs an agreement like this? Oh yeah, 282 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: I know. Well, Darrell Steinberg is a nullo because if 283 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: he had a pair, he'd get a bulldoze, a bulldozer 284 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: and just flatten the entire encampment and say, sorry, guys, 285 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: you don't get to live out in public in the city. 286 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: Go get it, go clean up, and go get a 287 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: job now if you want to do this store since 288 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: we got that for you. Sacramento County as a whole 289 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: has at least seven thousand more homeless people than it 290 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: has shelter beds, so they don't even have the shelter space. 291 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: But now they have to give him permanent stable housing. Well, 292 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: you better just start building things and that could take years. 293 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this is to believe this crack pot attorney 294 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: says that the residents set the terms of the lease. 295 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: The days are over when other parties are going to 296 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: make decisions for the homeless. It should be the other 297 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: way around. The days should be over where the homeless 298 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: get to make decisions at our expense, that live in 299 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: our public land, that take our public money. They're all radicals. Now, 300 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: they're all militant radicals. Boy, they are ungrateful. Huh, ungrateful entitled. 301 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: This apparently has gone on for a few years. Back 302 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: in August of twenty twenty one, a plan identified a 303 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: lot on a corner of what's called Colfax Street and 304 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: Arden Way as a site for shelters and parking. They 305 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: moved people off the lot and spend six hundred and 306 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: seventeen thousand dollars to put up an iron defense prepare 307 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: the lot for city sanctioned campers. Then the city scrapped 308 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: the plan the residents, telling the residents they couldn't return, 309 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: but they moved back in any way. Well after police 310 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: ordered camp resolution out in November twenty twenty two, sixty 311 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: people showed up in a city council being to protest. 312 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: In response. Sean Lowly, who represents the campers district, said 313 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: the sweep was being postponed. I guess that's the council 314 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: get all the money that they've spent on this crowd. 315 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: I know who cares if they complain at a council meeting. 316 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: Do you know how many times normal residents have shown 317 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: up at various council meetings to complain about real issues, 318 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: important issues. When I hear the homeless people, you get 319 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: blown off by the council. When I hear the homeless 320 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: people have a union, what's the power there? They're going 321 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: to go on strike and not be homeless. What is 322 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: the leverage? I have no idea. There is no leverage 323 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: except for stand there and protest and refused, refuse to 324 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: be moved.

McDonald's is laying off 337 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of people. Do you see that story. Yes, 338 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: I thought, even in tough times, that's a place where 339 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: people will still spend money because the food's cheaper, right, 340 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: you get more. I would not have expected that they're 341 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: also hitting a I guess inflation is hitting everybody everywhere. 342 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: The New York Times reports that National Public Radio has 343 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: a thirty million dollars gap in its budget. They recently 344 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: cut ten percent of their workforce and oh dear, cease 345 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: production on four of their podcasts. Oh imagine the podcasts 346 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: were about you. Do you know how many podcasts there 347 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: are in the world right now? Ten billions? Just thrown 348 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: out at number three point six million? And can the world? 349 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: That's it? I really would have thought more in the world. 350 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: But can you imagine losing four I thought that'd be 351 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: three point six million in La County For all the 352 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: people here who want to be stars, Yeah, most of 353 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: them lose money or don't make any money, right people, 354 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: Well they don't. Yeah, it's it's hobbies. And they have 355 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, a dozen or two people allegedly listening, which 356 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: is really their friends and family. It is, yes, yeah, yes, 357 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: So I actually know several people with podcasts, and to 358 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: support them, I occasionally listening prout load, not saying oh yes, 359 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: I listened to it. There's a only have to say, 360 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: send me the link. Sure, Sure, they have one called 361 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: that they're canceling in Visibilia, a popular show about the 362 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: un seen forces that control human behavior. A program that 363 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: explores racism and misogyny. Oh wow, that's a big one. 364 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: Marginalization and hip hop? What's going on there? You know what? 365 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: I saw the titles of the podcasts. These are the 366 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: Wednesday Cut, And there's this uproar among the NPR employees. 367 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: I can't believe that marginalization in hip hop? Well, you see, 368 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: I think employees they're really believe that they fill a 369 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: need that's not popular but important. You see, they don't 370 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: care if the audience is small. They think the audience 371 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: is important and they're not served by other media outlets, 372 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: except they still have to work like a regular radio station. 373 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: If you're out of money, you're out of money. All 374 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: those NPR employees get a paycheck, just like everybody here. 375 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: Make sure they get it's a donations in federal funding. 376 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: Because they don't run commercials, they well they do, they 377 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: just don't call them commercials. It's corporate underwriting. But is 378 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: that where an announcer just says the following prob What 379 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: I've noticed is a message have gotten. Messages have gotten 380 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: longer and more detailed, and it sounds like a commercial. 381 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: But because it's public radio, we don't call them commercials. 382 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: We call them messages from our corporate underwriters. It's like, okay, 383 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: because you can't live without money, is the problem, and 384 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: they're short of money. So if you're short of money, 385 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: what happens, Well, shows get canceled and employees get laid off. 386 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: Sting Goes says here in this story in the National Review, 387 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: employees were not taking the verdict of layoffs lying down. 388 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: Multiple all hands meetings were held NPR hosted amid growing 389 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: outrage over the firm staffing decisions, and some of the meetings, allegedly, 390 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: according to a Bloomberg reporter, descended into chaos. Disgrunted employees 391 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: deployed what they've learned as the most devastating weapon in 392 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: their arsenal. They're alleging racism, and of course it's the 393 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: all purpose weapon racism at NPR. Can you imagine that 394 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: racism in it? That's what the employees were charging the 395 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: executives with because because because marginalization in hip hop, that 396 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: podcast was canceled. M I see, yes, I got here. 397 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: Employees reportedly probe their bosses for the precise democraphic details 398 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: of the employees that were laid off so they could 399 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: perform like the word they put here on an identarian 400 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: audit like ID just to see what kind of demographics 401 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: were being let go. And of course if they lean 402 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: too far to people of color, then you're racist. And 403 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: so nothing about that was a quality of work. Nothing. 404 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: Anybody actually listened to the podcast. Yeah, the merit any 405 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: audience that you do, whether you're good at your job. 406 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: It was just about what's your skin color and what's 407 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: the condition of your genitals. This is what they do 408 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: with NPR. I got the Bloomberg story. Employees wanted to 409 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: see specific breakdowns around the number or percentages of employees 410 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: of different races and identities of those who were laid off, 411 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: right they're trying to put together a case that this 412 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: lean towards laying off people of color, I imagine, or 413 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: people of a certain gender or whatever. And the individual 414 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: one individual asked about how NPR would make diversity work essential, 415 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: whatever the hell that means, and one of the bosses said, well, 416 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: the organization's programming should be relevant to all of America. 417 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: What I you know? I don't. I don't know for 418 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: sure the democraphics of MPR, but I'll bet you they 419 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: lean more towards what we call coastal elites. Oh, it's 420 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: it's weak people, wealthy white people, wealthy white women, That's 421 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: what it is. Women, even more wealthy white women. Oh well, 422 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: they're maybe they're just not tuning into some of the 423 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: shows that explore marginalization in hip hop. Oh and get this, um. 424 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: Some of the employees were really upset with the bosses 425 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: be because one of the bosses, guy's name is John Lansing. 426 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: He had asked people to be civil in their responses 427 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: and not call out executives by name publicly and start 428 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: yelling and make snarky remarks. And he said, I would never, ever, 429 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: on your worst day, call you out by name in 430 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: a meeting with eight hundred and twenty seven people. Let's 431 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: keep in mind, no one's happy about this. Nobody is 432 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: more unhappy about it than those that are affected. But 433 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: certainly everybody in this company, beginning with me, this is 434 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: the last thing they wanted to do. So one of 435 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: they went on zoom and called Lansing's response racist and 436 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: out of line, linking to an NPR segment entitled when 437 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: civility is used as a cudgel against people of color, 438 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: Civility is a weapon wielded by the powerful. One person wrote, Oh, 439 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: that's why I see this term in here. Some are 440 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: upset because there he was tone policing. Tone policing. That 441 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: was I knew it. That's apparently a new woke term. 442 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: He was telling people in the meeting to calm down 443 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: and be civil and be respectful here because because people 444 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: are getting nasty, because they're By the way, those podcasts 445 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: were seasonal podcasts. There were maybe eight episodes a year, 446 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: So you're eight episodes on misogyny and hip hop or 447 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: some such thing. Oh it's horrible. Hey, maybe nobody was listening. 448 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: Maybe nobody wanted. No corporation wanted to spend money on that. Anymore. 449 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: Geeze it says. It's a little ironic because apparently NPR 450 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: likes to make its audience completely aware of all things racist. 451 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: And now there's descend from within about people you can yeah, 452 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: John Lanston was the president and CEO. You cannot. You 453 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 1: cannot please activist people. You cannot. And they have no 454 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: idea how businesses work. This crowd ought to go work 455 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: for commercial radio and see how pleasant that is. I mean, 456 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: they're allowed to have their little pet project, get paid 457 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: for their pet project podcast for years and then when 458 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: somebody says, yeah, I can't afford this anymore, and it's 459 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: not really be drawn much of an audience anyway. Oh 460 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: my god, the horror of it. Please, Well, you're you're 461 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: you're working indoors, all right. Why don't you go load 462 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: steel for a living for a week and then come 463 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: back and tell the Times had the same problem, didn't 464 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: they have a rebellion racism too? From my employee. Because 465 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: this is a religion and they hired all these people 466 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: that belong to this religious cult, right, the woke religious cult, 467 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: which is apparently obsessed with racism and sexuality to the 468 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: exclusion of everything else on the planet, which they find everywhere. 469 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: Racism and sexism is everywhere. So this guy lansing all 470 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: the management deserves this stuff. You cultivated this kind of 471 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: employee group and now they're coming to eat you alive. 472 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: You deserve it, all right, We got more coming up. 473 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Ken caf I AM six forty were live everywhere 474 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Go back to hiring on merit.

The next hearing in the 477 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: Trump case isn't until December. That's strange. I thought he's 478 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: allowed to have swift justice if he wants it, well, 479 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: he could also delay it. Maybe that's what they had 480 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: reached agreement on December. Do you see that if he 481 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: were to be convicted on these classy felonies, each carries 482 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: a maximum sentence of four years, so that totals up 483 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: till one hundred and thirty six years the maxim Yeah. 484 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: I find that hard to believe that he's going to 485 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: get one hundred thirty six years for paperwork crimes. Now 486 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk more about the indictment, and because that's when 487 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: the primary season starts the next the next year earlier 488 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: the next year, right, yeah, right, so the the Democrats 489 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: took away New Hampshire, right, but the Republicans didn't like 490 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: that's the first big his caucuses and crap and right. 491 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, the whole the whole season starts late January, 492 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: early February.

Will begin the hour 498 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: though by talking about Cedar the goat. There was a 499 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: little girl up in Shasta County who apparently got the 500 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: goat as a pet from her parents. But she entered 501 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: into a into a fair, into a livestock auction. Oh well, 502 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: they changed their minds, so they stole the goat back. 503 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: But police were dispatched to the famis residents to retrieve 504 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: the goat, and I guess it became stu. They had 505 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: nothing better to do but go and retrieve the goat. 506 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: They drove apparently a couple of police officers drove hundreds 507 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: of miles to retrieve the goat aesthetic. And why did 508 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: the family allow the little girl to put her goat 509 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: up in a livestock option. That's what we have to 510 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: ask the attorney because I don't get it either. But 511 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: she changed her mind and for just a nine month 512 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: old little goat. He's cutee have you seen him? Little 513 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: brown and white goat? Maybe too sad? Oh? You know 514 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: the goat was sold to a representative of Senator Brian 515 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: Dolly's office. That's right. And apparently they had no problem 516 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: with her taking the goat back. Yeah he was, he was. 517 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: But a judge in the case dispatched police officers to 518 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: get that goat because the organization behind this said they 519 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: didn't want other people thinking that they could get away 520 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: with this or change their minds. We're gonna be committed 521 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: to this. We're gonna make an example of this little 522 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: girl girl. All right, So there we go. We'll talk 523 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: about this with the attorney for the family. So way 524 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: more interesting case than Trump's. After three Yeah, yeah, yeah, 525 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: I just found another news site. Yeah, the case has 526 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: been postponed out to December fourth. Well, good when stop 527 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: talking about it after today? For a while because it 528 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: won't be back around. Yeah, the judge is going to 529 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: consider stop this incessant coverage of a really petty case 530 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: considered dismissal motions because the Trump employer and the first 531 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: of course, Trump is facing several other indictments. Anyways, I 532 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: know this is small pits. Wait to the business the 533 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: Iowa Republican caucuses February fifth, that's the first. All right, 534 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: so that's pretty close. Yeah, all right. Uh, we're just 535 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: talking about MPR. They're laying off people, and some employees 536 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: think they're racist anyway. Uh, they just read a story 537 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: that I found fascinating about the conspiracy theories that are evolving, 538 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: and it's of course among the far right conservative crowd. 539 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's some truth in there isn't to this 540 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: about eating insects. You see, Apparently there is a school 541 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: of thought that believes that in order to help the 542 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: planet and the climate, we should probably not be so 543 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: dependent in our food source on animals and even plants agriculture. 544 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: We should probably eat insects. There are trillions of them available. Crickets, Uh, 545 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: do insects have a face? Doesn't bother you? I'm not 546 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: going to eat an insect First of all, I don't 547 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: eat anything with a face, and yes they do. In second, 548 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 1: they're high in protein. I get plenty of protein. I 549 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: don't eat anything with a face. That was her I 550 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: don't know, I know, I always like that one. She 551 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: told me that, well years ago, nothing with a face. Well, anyway, 552 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: the conservative crowd has turned this into a cause that 553 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: they won't They want the people that want to take 554 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: over the world. I guess the World Economic Forum wants 555 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: you to eat bugs to save the planet. So it 556 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: has become kind of a trending thing among well they yes, 557 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: it says he. There's true. It's the climate crowd. Stop 558 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: eating meat and if you don't like vegetables, and they 559 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: go for some bugs. They describe you here an NPR 560 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: as an emerging but marginal idea among climate scientists. And oh, 561 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: my favorite food security experts, food security have a nice, 562 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: big juicy cockroach. I forgot if people are food insecure, 563 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: the opposite would be food secure. We have, so they 564 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: want to introduce more insects into the American diet or 565 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: the world diet. You know what, the country is like 566 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: eighty percent OBEs and we have to hear lectures about 567 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: food insecurity. They're probably low and fat. I have no 568 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: idea what's in a cricket. I think crickets to my 569 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: bearded dragon. Oh that's right, live crickets, live, live crickets. Yeah, 570 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 1: he goes. She goes nuts for them. As soon as 571 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: she sees them in the bag. As I'm walking towards 572 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: her tank, she starts ramming her head into the glass window. 573 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 1: And this is a chance to point out that John's 574 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: Beauty Dragon is alive and Debora Marks is not. For that. 575 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: No call the moist line about that. Did you ever 576 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: get to feed your crickets to your Okay you do. 577 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: They make a noise when you when you feed them. 578 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,959 Speaker 1: Oh you can hear him crunch, but they don't cry out. 579 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: They do as of vitamins, AC, D, E, and K. Yeah, 580 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: look at that. And there's protein too. Don't people mean 581 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: chocolate covered crickets? Is that? When I was in Beijing, 582 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: I went to one of the markets, not Wuhan, and 583 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: this is a long time ago, and they did have 584 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: insects on sticks. They had them over like a little barbecue, 585 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: and I saw the crickets all lined up there like 586 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: a shiska bab. Oh god, they threaded them on the 587 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: stick and here you go. No, they're right, they're really crunchy. 588 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: They are, well, I hear the crunch whenever they'll see 589 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: John's bearded dragon.
