The 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 3: El Segundo Times actually wrote an editorial not kidding you 29 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: that maybe it's time to name the heat waves the 30 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 3: way the hurricanes are named. The topical storm. Who wrote this? 31 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 3: I want the board, the board, the whole board. There's like, well, 32 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: you'll have to look them up. There's like twelve of them. Though, 33 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: I know you did this once a few years ago. 34 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: You looked up the names. Yeah, but I mean they 35 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: assign opinions. It's like Supreme Court opinions, right, I don't 36 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: think all someone's the lead author. 37 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody was given this assignment, and then everybody else 38 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: just approves. 39 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: They start off by telling us that back in two 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: thousand and six July, actually six hundred and fifty people 41 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: died in California from the heat. 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: Really backed that up much, Bjorn Lomborg. 43 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 3: That was more than died in the nineteen ninety four 44 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: North rich earthquake of the twenty eighteen campfire. 45 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: That dead point that is kind of ridiculous comparison the uh. 46 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: That was July two thousand and six, So they're taking 47 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: something from seventeen years ago. Bjorn Lomborg, who's a climate 48 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: scientist that we frequently have on the show, wrote a 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: piece the other day that cold kills forty times as 50 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: many in America and the UK and Canada forty times. 51 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: They call it the deadliest weather related hazard is heat. 52 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: No no, no, no cold is And they have. 53 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: A link to a story they did. I think we 54 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: made fun of it back in twenty twenty one, the 55 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: La Times investigation to extreme heats deadly toll. 56 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: They're wrong, and. 57 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: They believe they're severe undercounting of heat deaths. 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: They're more than wrong. They're lying. The cold kills a 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: lot more than the heat. According to Lomborg by a 60 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: factor of forty forty times, more people die of cold 61 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: in this country, on this continent. 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: They had a lot hotter. 63 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: So four reporters who claimed that heat likely caused thirty 64 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: nine hundred deaths over the previous decade, six times the 65 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: state's official tally. 66 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: They don't know that they made that up. Well, well, 67 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: why is the official CALLI won sixth of what the 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: time says happened. 69 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: How would they know that? How could they make it? 70 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: The problem is right, well, this could be like COVID. 71 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: People may have died in July of two thousand and six, 72 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: but can you definitely say they would. 73 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: Have lived now? 74 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: The heat wave by the way, just like people who 75 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: died that happened to have COVID. 76 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: By the way, what does it matter what they died 77 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: of anyway? 78 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: They if they died of old age or the heat, 79 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: or they just had they had a stomach virus, or 80 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: they had cancer, or they had a heart attack. What 81 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: is the incessant counting and categorizing of deaths. 82 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: Well, they think they're preventable. They're not. 83 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: Just get some Americ conditions. Deaths aren't preventable, and we're 84 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: living longer than ever. I don't I don't understand this obsession. 85 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: They pick a category of people dying. Well, we've got 86 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: to do something. 87 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: No, you don't. You don't have to do anything. 88 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: Each person has to make decisions to survive into the 89 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: next day. You and we don't have to do a thing. 90 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: I don't think at all about other people dying. I 91 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: know they do and we're all gonna go. So what 92 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: is this? This is a weird fetish that only well 93 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: public officials have it because they're trying to extract money 94 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: from people. You know, It's that what I what we 95 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: were talking about the other day. You scare people, you 96 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: control them, and then you charge them. Well, the first 97 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: way to scare them is to tell them they're gonna die, 98 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: or look at all those other people that are dying. Now, 99 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: you can get them to change their behavior, and then 100 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, you could charge them, tax them, make them 101 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: pay for whatever. It's just people dying, people dying the summer, 102 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: just like the spring and the fall in the winter. 103 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: This is nonsense. It really is nonsense. 104 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: Well, they have a tough time selling it's climate change 105 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: because if it's so gradual, and that's what we were 106 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 3: told years ago, the temperature changes would be so gradual 107 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: over decades and even centuries, and that's not good enough 108 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: for people who think it's alarmist. So they've got to 109 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: sell any kind of a heat wave and there's something disastrous. 110 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: Most people aren't buying this. There's a reason we told 111 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: you yesterday. 112 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: Ford's lost four and a half billion dollars on the 113 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: electric vehicles and their sales numbers are going down. 114 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: People aren't buying this at all. 115 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: The story I was reading, we read this on the 116 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: air about Tesla was lying to its customers claiming twenty 117 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: five percent higher range on a battery charge than you 118 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: really get. 119 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: Why do they lie? 120 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: Because people really don't want to buy electric cars, so 121 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: you got to make them sound better than they are. 122 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: People are not buying this. 123 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: This summer looks like every other summer that I ever 124 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: remember in southern California. I see nothing special at all. 125 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: It's kind of I thought the weather was kind of boring. 126 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, Phoenix is getting all the attention because it had 127 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 3: quite a run there, one hundred and ten degree days. 128 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: But it's just Phoenix. 129 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know there there's random reasons from year to year. 130 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: While you get weather anomalies and they could show up 131 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: one year and then the next fifty years, it doesn't happen. 132 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean hurricanes. Have you heard about any hurricanes hit 133 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,239 Speaker 1: in the US. No, Hurricane season is pretty quiet. Fire 134 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: season very quiet here in California. It's not happening. So 135 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: these hysterical fools who are again and all these people 136 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: are trying to make money from the LA Times. Look 137 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: at their Look at their subscribers, extremely low. They have 138 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: five percent of the subscribers as The New York Times. 139 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: Their owner Patrick Soon Cheong, is losing fifty million. 140 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: Dollars a year. So this is what they do. They're hucksters. 141 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: They're all like that. 142 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: The one thing I learned especially in the last couple 143 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: of years. They'll hop on anything that seems to be 144 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: getting people's attention and blow. 145 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: It up into twenty stories. 146 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: Like I said, last month was June month, it was Pride, 147 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: so it was all these trans stories. Now July brings 148 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: some heat and oh my god, it's the end of 149 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: the world boiling story. 150 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: But the thing is, the public's not buying it from 151 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: the La Times. They're not reading it, they're not subscribing 152 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: to it, so they just keep shouting louder. Most people 153 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: didn't believe there's. 154 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: Other media that reports this kind of stuff. We'll just 155 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: focus on the Times because it's local. But it's stupid. 156 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: But they're they're all, they're all the same. The revenues 157 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: are going down, the audience is shrinking, the attention span 158 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: is being splintered more. You know, you're up against literally 159 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: thousands of possibilities to entertain yourself with now. So everyone 160 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,679 Speaker 1: is in screaming Mimi mode. They're yelling hysterically to get attention. 161 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: But there's nothing happening out there, nothing, one thing they 162 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: can't hop on. And it was pointed out by The 163 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: Mercury News, the Bay Area News Group. Although we do 164 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: have a big fire right now in the Mojave Desert. 165 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: This has been a very very slow fire year. In fact, 166 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: it's the slowest of twenty five years. See, that's another 167 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: one they usually tap into, especially when there's heat waves. 168 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: Oh my god, everything's going to burn. Of course, some 169 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: of the credit goes to all. 170 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: The rain we had. 171 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense, right, although they tried to claim because. 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: It's gonna be fresh new stuff to. 173 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: Burn, right, Yeah, there's gonna be so much fuel this 174 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: could be, which made no sense because it's still it's 175 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: still moist. 176 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: A lot of this broadsh that grew. That's what it 177 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: is true. 178 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: We said that there could be snow in July people 179 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 3: were skiing. 180 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: They were skiing in Tahoe. Right, so they're they're wrong. 181 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: Let's start with that they're wrong. Let's also go to 182 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: because they're in desperate financial situation. All these reporters and 183 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: editors are right. They don't know when the hammer is 184 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: gonna come down, and they're gonna get laid off. They 185 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: have to produce hits and and so they're gonna come 186 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: up with the most extreme angle on a story. The 187 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: editor is gonna say, okay, you you go out there 188 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: and come up with something that reinforces the idea that 189 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, we should name heat waves. Maybe that'll 190 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: prevent deaths. Okay, yes, if we name the heat waves. 191 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: What did I What did I read the other day? 192 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: You know the New York Times, Right, they have merged 193 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: with the sports website, the Athletic, and if you buy 194 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: a New York Times subscription, you get the Athletic subscription. 195 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: And one of the guys it wasn't it's a national 196 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: sports website, and every team had a beat writer, and 197 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: one of the beat writers was let go. He covered 198 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: I don't know a team in Cleveland, Navies somewhere in 199 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: the Midwest, and he said, this is what it's like. 200 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: He could speak freely now since he was laid off. 201 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: He goes every article you do, you can see how 202 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: many people read it, and every hour of every day 203 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: you get judged by how many people clicked on your article, 204 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: and then secondly, how many people bought subscriptions after clicking 205 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: on your article. So you constantly have this scoreboard, and 206 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: everybody in the company has to deal with the scoreboard 207 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: seeing how there are So he goes, you can't go 208 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: around trying to develop stories that you think are interesting, 209 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: news that you think is important. You simply have to 210 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: find the angle for the catchy headline. So your counter 211 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: moves and he goes. It's this is not why I 212 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: got into like journalism. This is not the business. And 213 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: that is what's going on at every newspaper is they're 214 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: looking at the counter. 215 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: Well, how do you get a counter? 216 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: You got to scare people, and what are you going 217 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: to scare the masses with? You got to scare them 218 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: with disease like COVID, got to scare them with the 219 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: climate that we got these heat waves or fires or storms, 220 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: whatever the hell the season is right because they get 221 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: a better click. You know, if they try to explain 222 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 1: the internal corruption at city hall, nobody clicks. So that's 223 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,239 Speaker 1: the entire industry. Now, the higher industry has been subverted. 224 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: Well it's like ratings though, right, those are ratings. They 225 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: equal the interest in your material. But it doesn't know 226 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: what do you want to write about? Something you want 227 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: to write about, nobody reads it. The paper can't make 228 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: it any money, but it doesn't why should they care about? 229 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean the article is truthful or accurate 230 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: or important. It just means that the headline got people 231 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: to click, and most people still read these new sites 232 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: thinking that what they're reading is truthful, accurate, and important, 233 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: and that's not true. 234 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 2: And these I think that's changed. 235 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: I think people are now looking at websites that back 236 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 3: their own opinions and they're just looking for stuff to 237 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: reinforce what they. 238 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: Already Bokay, but that is another nobody. 239 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: I think some minds are so shut now in this 240 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: country about everything. 241 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: But that's another perversion that if you're reading what you 242 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: want to what you already believe in, then the articles 243 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: very likely are not truthful or accurate or important. It's 244 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: just reinforcing like religious dogma. Yeah, that's where we are now. 245 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 246 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: Right. 247 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 3: I look at all the mainstream and out of mainstream 248 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: websites I look at I can say I know they 249 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 3: all have a particular angle now, an ideological angle. It's 250 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 3: been that way for years, especially since Trump came to power. Right, 251 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: But everything just went that way. 252 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean the planet is overheating. It doesn't mean 253 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: their fires out of control, it doesn't mean that they're 254 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: terrible storms coming, it doesn't mean any of that. It 255 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: just means, in the moment, somebody decided this headline will 256 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: get them the hits and get them through till tomorrow. 257 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: That's all all right. 258 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: When we come back, California finally has a copycat state 259 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 3: when it comes to these horrendous climate policies. Will tell 260 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 3: you who it is, Johnny KENKFIAM six forty Live Everywhere 261 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: Ieartradio app. 262 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 263 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 264 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 3: All right, Well, we've talked a lot in the past 265 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 3: about California and Governor Newsom's decision to mandate that all 266 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: new cars purchased in the state beginning in the year 267 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 3: twenty thirty five have to be electric, and we finally 268 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: got followed the state of New Jersey. The governor there 269 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 3: just signed a bill to phase out the sales of 270 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: new gasolene powered automobiles by twenty thirty five in favor 271 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 3: of electric vehicles. The number of vehicles sold now in 272 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: New Jersey that are EVY is only nine percent. They 273 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 3: would have to jump to thirty five percent by twenty 274 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: twenty seven and increase steadily until each is one hundred 275 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: percent in the year twenty thirty five. So again it's 276 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: another state government doing something that obviously the people are 277 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 3: not doing on their own. They're trying to mandate it. 278 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: And because twenty thirty five is still twelve years away, 279 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: there's no saying that they'll stick with this mandate, but 280 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: that's what they have put out there for now. 281 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: They can't for all the reasons we always talk about. 282 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: There's not an electrical grid to support this. They're not 283 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: charging stations. There's not that strong an interest from the 284 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: public outside of wealthy guys who might want a a 285 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: weekend car to tootle around in. Right, there's the market's 286 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: not there, and that's why Ford lost four and a 287 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: half billion dollars or is losing four and app this year. 288 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: It's just not happening because, to go back to the 289 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: early point, the public's not believing it when they don't 290 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: see an advantage. Range anxiety is a real thing. And 291 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: now that we found out that Tesla and all these 292 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: other companies have been lying about the range, and now 293 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: there's all these excuses like, well, if it's too cold, 294 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: if it's too hot, like who once we bothered, We're 295 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: just all going to hold onto our cars for twenty 296 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: five years. 297 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna hold onto 298 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: my cars forever. 299 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: But we can find gas. Somebody will have gas. You 300 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 3: may have to make your own, you may have to 301 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 3: drive aways. 302 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you know they eventually there's going to be 303 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: a rebellion on this. Right now, this is not affecting 304 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: everybody's life. It's too theoretical. There isn't anybody who can plan. Oh, 305 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: most people don't even know this has happening. 306 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: They don't know. 307 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: If you asked any average Californian about the electric car 308 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 3: mandate in twenty thirty five, to be like, why, no, 309 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: they don't know, and they don't know what twenty thirty 310 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 3: five is. 311 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: Right now. 312 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: Everybody's making decisions based on their own needs and convenience, 313 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 3: and they're not going in that direction, although in this 314 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 3: state they're going more in that direction than other states. 315 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: Electric vehicle sales and other states are really mostly pathetic. Murphy, 316 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: the governor of New Jersey, also wants to of course, 317 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: electrify the cook tops and transition away from natural gas. 318 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: That became the hot thing this year with all the 319 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 3: alarmist stories on the dangers of natural gas in the home. 320 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: None of the and the final cherry on the top, 321 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: none of this has had any effect on the climate. 322 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: You talk about a massive masturbatory exercise by the governments here. 323 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: None of this is having any effect. They're screaming about 324 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: the increasing temperatures while they are constantly banning this, that 325 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: and the other thing. 326 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: It's not going to change anything. 327 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 3: Speaking of gas, the state of California, and we've gone 328 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 3: through the statistic, but it's good to know. According to 329 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 3: the data that's coming out from the California Independent System 330 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 3: Operator that's the ISO, which basically the ones they issue 331 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: the flex al arts and stuff, more than forty percent 332 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 3: of the state's total power grid supply derived from natural 333 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 3: gas last weekend, forty percent, the largest share of any source. 334 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 3: Renewables accounted for thirty four percent. Now, during the peak 335 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 3: sunlight hours they were the dominant source because between eight 336 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 3: am and five thirty pm, well you have a lot 337 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: of sun generally, and you might have some wind. But 338 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: what happens at night when electricity begins to really peak 339 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 3: the demand seven o'clock people all getting home, will work 340 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: or whatever they've done all day. You need natural gas 341 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 3: and it to stepped up to become forty five percent 342 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 3: of the state power compared to just twenty seven percent 343 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: which was generated by the renewables. So, like we've been saying, 344 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 3: and we're a long way of getting out of this 345 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: idea that we don't need anything besides electric sources for 346 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 3: all of our energy needs. 347 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: Not to mention, you are paying double the electricity rates 348 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: of the. 349 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: Rest of the states. 350 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, double the art You're paying twice as much and 351 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: you're not getting anything for it because this has no 352 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: effect on the client, on the climate none. So why 353 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: are we all participating in this nonsense? Well, because if 354 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: you don't listen to our show, where would you get 355 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the information from. Nobody else is telling this particular truth, right, 356 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: So they're all selling their nonsense. 357 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 2: But the truth is. 358 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely natural gas is needed and will be for a 359 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: very very long time. And I've seen long term projections 360 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: around the world, and fossil fuels are going to be 361 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: the dominant fuel used for many, many decades to come, 362 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: and it's not going to have any effect on the climate. 363 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: This is all calculated hysteria they've created. They've created a 364 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: fake industry, they've created their own, you know, industrial complex 365 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: centered around frightening you about the climate. 366 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 3: All right, Yesterday, a big news story of the afternoon 367 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 3: is that they found a man dead inside a fifty 368 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 3: five gallon drum in the Malibu Lagoon. First thing I 369 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 3: thought of was just like a mob hit. It was 370 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 3: a barrel that was floating in the water. It was 371 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 3: eventually opened. 372 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: You know, my wife and I walk around that beach 373 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: all the time. 374 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 3: You didn't see the barrel, no, I mean some people 375 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: saw it floating out there before it was taken the shore. 376 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 2: But I like going there. 377 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: There's this beach called Cross Creek, and then there's a 378 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: little tiny like a lagoon, right, a little narrow inlet, 379 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's wider and sometimes it disappears, depending on 380 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: the tides and the rainfall and all that. And then 381 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: you could you could walk over to the beach where 382 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: this barrel was found. But I go there. We go 383 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: there because the birds. It's like a beautiful bird sanctuary there, 384 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: natural bird sanctuary, just hundreds and hundreds of birds come there. 385 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 3: You become a birdwatcher. Do you know any of the 386 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: differences between them. 387 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: I have a hard time doing that, But no, I've 388 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: been a bird watcher since I was a little kit need. 389 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 3: To get binoculars in a book. My parents used to 390 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: do that. 391 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: I might I might do that it's very relaxing, a 392 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: very annoying. 393 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 3: Well, Steve Gregory is covering the story. We'll see what 394 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: we can find out about the person in the barrel. 395 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: Johnny KENKFI I AM six forty live everywhere I heard 396 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 3: radio app. 397 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from kf 398 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 4: I AM six forty. 399 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: We're on the air from one until four every day 400 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: and then the podcast John and Ken on demand and 401 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: you can get that after four o'clock. Pick up what 402 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: you missed. Well, there's a body and a barrel that 403 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: washed up in Malibu. And Steve Gregory he's not the 404 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: body in the barrel, but he didn't go to cover this. Yeah, 405 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: this is very mob like. Yeah, and this is very 406 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: unusual for our area. I mean, this is not something 407 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: I can't recall the last time. I think though, the 408 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: last time I covered any kind of a body in 409 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: a barrel caper it was actually down near the border. 410 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: It was on the US side, near the border Imperial. 411 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: That could be the cartel people. Yeah, now that's more 412 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: cartel because they bury those right. No, this is every 413 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: day in New Jersey. Yeah, or Vegas like we were 414 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: taking the Vegas right. Yeah, So Was this a mob hit, 415 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: do you think or what? I don't know if it 416 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: was a mob hit in the traditional sense, but it 417 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: would appear that it someone wasn't too happy with the 418 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: man that was inside the barrel, let's put it that way. 419 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: But on Sunday afternoon, some maintenance workers with the California 420 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: State Parks noticed this black barrel floating in the lagoon 421 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: the Malibu Lagoon State Park area, and they went out 422 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: on their kayaks, retrieved the barrel, brought it back, and 423 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 1: kind of pushed it up onto the shore. Well, then 424 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: they left it there. They said they would deal with 425 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: it the next day or they'd have someone else deal 426 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: with it. They did seem too concerned about it. They 427 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: did note it was a little heavy, though, they just 428 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: figured it was something that fell off a cargo ship. 429 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: So the next morning lifeguard comes in and sees the 430 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: same barrel out in the lagoon again. Well, what the 431 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: guys didn't realize the day before is the high tide 432 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: comes in around eight o'clock and it pulled that barrel 433 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: back out into the lagoon. So this lifeguard jumps in, 434 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: swims out and retrieves the barrel, pushes it back and 435 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: gets on shore, but he decides to open it and 436 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: when he opens it, he sees the body inside. 437 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, did it open easily? Did we know? 438 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: I was told it was kind of it kind of 439 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: like had an airtight seal. So it it's a plastic barrel, 440 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: plastic when it was fifty five gallon plastic barrel, that. 441 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: Would explain why. I probably, But that must have smelled 442 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 2: real good. Huh. 443 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. So during the briefing yesterday with 444 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: La County Sheriffs Lieutenant Hugo Renaga, we asked if there 445 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: was any evidence that, you know, decomposition. 446 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: He says, no. 447 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: The foot that I saw seemed like it had been 448 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: completely you know, it was intact. It was intact. It 449 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: was no decomposition. It seemed like it was a pretty 450 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: fresh body. 451 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 3: And nothing about him, the person being shot, or anything 452 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 3: any kind of wells. 453 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 2: They know that now. 454 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: But I will tell you that they have identified this person. 455 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: Oh they have, Yes, they have, And I can't really 456 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: get into all that right now. I can tell sorry, man, 457 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: how dare you? But I understand the person was naked too, 458 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: Is that right? 459 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 460 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: It was the question I amsway, I said, question, I 461 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: asked Lieutenant yesterday, I said, fully clothed or nude, and 462 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: he said the indication was that he was nude. So 463 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: what nude man in a barrel? Yeah, nude black man 464 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: in a barrel, younger black man. 465 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 2: Oh, it was a black man. 466 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: And what I had gotten by last night was that 467 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: he was five to nine, approximately five nine, around one 468 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety pounds. And you know, the initial source 469 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: told me he was anywhere thirty five to forty years 470 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: old as but now they're saying it's looking like it's 471 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: more late twenties, early thirties. 472 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: Is this the next of kin thing? You can't say 473 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: anything exactly, and there's actually just a gang sort of situation. 474 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: Well here, there's some other There's a lot of stuff 475 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: I can probably tell you right now, but I can't. 476 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 2: Oh, but I'll tell John off Air. 477 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 3: That doesn't do our audience any good or. 478 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: You know, and I'm sorry for the audience. 479 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: But I have been assured that I will be told 480 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: when it's when it's clear to when it's. 481 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 3: Now who is lead on this Sheriff's department. 482 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: In the Sheriff's department, they were the ones because it's 483 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: La County Beaches, you know, it's an La County Beach jurisdiction, 484 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: even though it's a state park, technically that is a 485 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: homicide there that it refers to the La County Sheriff's Department. 486 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 3: Now, this could have floated from anyone. I mean, it 487 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 3: could come quite a distance. 488 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: Right, And initially that's what you know, they were kind 489 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: of operating on the theory that it could have been 490 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: something that was deeper out into the sea or further 491 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: out into the sea that came in from tide from 492 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: the you know, overnight sometime and there there had actually 493 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: been some sightings that they haven't been able to confirm it. 494 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: During the weekend, apparently witnesses had come forward and others 495 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: had said they noticed this black barrel out there floating 496 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: around over the weekend. So now they're you know, the 497 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: coroner is going to determine the approximate time of death 498 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: and obviously manner and cause of death, and then they'll 499 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: backtrack from there. Then they'll find out, Okay, there was 500 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: marking on the side, because I did ask, I said, 501 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 1: were there any identifying features on the on the barrel? 502 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: And Lieutenant Reinagus said, well, there is, there was some 503 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: markings on the side to indicate chemicals used in printing. 504 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: M oh yes, so they could track that to the 505 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: company that these factors the chemicals, right and then, And 506 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I think is going to help 507 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: and the fact because you know, there was this sort 508 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: of intrigue that you know, maybe this was an international 509 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: caper where it was like off of a you know, 510 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: one of those international cargo ships or something, but it 511 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 1: looks like it's a local case. It looks like the 512 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: individual is local, and it looks like that's a very 513 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: peaceful area to have a barrel roll up with a 514 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: dead body inside, right if that's where it was dumped 515 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: right nearby, So there, it could have been dumped anywhere 516 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: along that coast.

Yeah, it makes sense because you have police 542 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: out there in the yellow tape and they don't have anywhere, 543 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: they don't have any reference points in reality. 544 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't know that this is every day for us. 545 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, you know that poor family from Nebraska 546 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: is like, oh my god, like to film in a movie, 547 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, when me and Sid Garcia and everybody else 548 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: out there trying to get the people to talk to us. 549 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's uh, it's not This is a very 550 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: unusual case. But I will also tell you that it 551 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: was characterized to me that whoever did this has never 552 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: done it before. 553 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 3: But that's what I was gonna say. Do you want 554 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 3: the barrel to float? And if you do, fine, but 555 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: they picked the wrong barrel. If you want to kill 556 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 3: somebody's take him to a barrel and bury him at sea, 557 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 3: you don't put them a barrel. 558 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: That pops up on top of the water.

Yeah, So that was It was characterized to 568 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: me that whoever pulled this off wasn't really keen on 569 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: it or or missed science class. 570 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 3: So I guess they're looking at missing persons and stuff. 571 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: Well that's usually the first thing they do, but there 572 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: there had been no missing persons matching this description or 573 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: the identity of this individual. So that also gives them 574 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: some clues there that it was pretty fresh and that. 575 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 3: So that's what you did say. You know, the identity, 576 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 3: you just can't tell us exactly.

Yes, this would be the Jack 597 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 3: Smith is the special counsel at the United States Department 598 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 3: of Justice, and Trump had admitted last week that he 599 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: got a letter saying that he was under investigation. And 600 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 3: this is to do with the twenty twenty election, right, 601 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 3: the whole instagram Right, yeah, this is. 602 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 2: Not the Georgia case. That's the that's coming. 603 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: But this is the slate of electors that they claim 604 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: he was falsifying. 605 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 3: Yes, so this is mostly about that kind of stuff, right, yeah, right. 606 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 3: The stuff in Georgia is where he made the phone 607 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 3: call to try to find the votes, but that's a 608 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 3: separate investigation being done in Georgia, which could lead to 609 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 3: get another indictment. 610 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: So it looks like looks like both main news networks 611 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: are expecting this to happen very soon. 612 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 2: Oh they're going with live coverage. Yeah. Yeah. 613 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: The reports this morning was that the grand jury was 614 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 3: meeting again today, so speculation was rife that something might 615 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 3: come from them in terms of an indictment. So I 616 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 3: was just reading a story about Trump and how much 617 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: he's been screaming about Jack Smith now at some of 618 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 3: his campaign appearances. A maniac, a fully weaponized monster. 619 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: It's hard when you have four prosecutors coming at you 620 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: once you can't insult them all at the same time. 621 00:30:58,960 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: That's true. 622 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 3: But Smith already indicted him over the boxes of documents. 623 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 3: So Smith will move ahead in the toll of the 624 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 3: cases against Trump. He'll be in the lead with two 625 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 3: and a lot of people think the Box's case is 626 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 3: pretty strong. And I don't know what's in this one yet. 627 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: We may find out. 628 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: But well, he needs he needs on the jury the 629 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of Republicans who don't believe any charges 630 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: and are going to vote for him no matter what. 631 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: So you get a all you need is one of 632 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: those guys on the jury and it all falls apart. 633 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 634 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 3: Did you know apparently Jack Smith's previous job he was 635 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 3: at the Hague, that's the International Court. Oh no, that 636 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: was one of his assignments. So he's dealt with international criminals. Yeah, exactly, 637 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 3: so it says here. Yeah, just reading a story about 638 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 3: him in the New York Times before he got this 639 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 3: post last year from the Justice from Merrick Garland, the 640 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 3: Attorney General. All right, so we'll see what happens. Story breaks. 641 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 3: ABC News will be on, it will carry the coverage. 642 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 3: It may happen in the two o'clock hour here on 643 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 3: the John and Ken show back to the real world 644 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 3: in southern California, and it looks like another vagrant. 645 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 2: Has killed somebody. 646 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 3: This happened yesterday afternoon near the Santa Monica Pier.

Near the pier, they found a twenty 649 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 3: seven year old stabbing victim near the bathrooms with at 650 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 3: least one stab wound to the chest. They eventually arrested 651 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 3: a vagrant, forty eight year old jan ever A Stico Behena. 652 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 3: Apparently the two men were arguing near the men's restrooms 653 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 3: before Behena stabbed the victim several times in the chest 654 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 3: and torso and he did not survive. So just another 655 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 3: day in Santa Monica, isn't it, how John, He's still 656 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 3: hanging out. 657 00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: There much or no? You know, it's a little nerve wracking. 658 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: Actually, I'm not enjoying the walks in Santa Monica because 659 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: your head's got to be on a swivel, and I 660 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: don't trust that any of these guys are benign. So 661 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: we walk in a park, Palisades Park, which is on 662 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: a cliff overlooking the beach, and we're constantly zigzagging because 663 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: there's a path. 664 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: Right along the road. 665 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: There's a path right along the fence that overlooks the cliff, 666 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: and we're going down the cliff walk and it's like, well, 667 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: let's go right, and let's go towards the street. Let's now, 668 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: let's double back, go back towards the cliff and get 669 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: on these cross paths. You can't, you can't walk in 670 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: a straight line. It's not fun anymore. And I mean 671 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: they're living on the beach. There's tents on the beach 672 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: and encampments. It's just it sucks, It really sucks, and 673 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: there's nobody there doing anything about anything. 674 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 3: Well, news came down this afternoon. It's not Santa Monica, 675 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 3: but it's La that Mayor Bessetti has agreed to raises 676 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 3: for the Los Angeles Police Department officers. Their pay could 677 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 3: go up by eleven percent under a deal that she 678 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 3: reached with their union, the Los Angeles Police Protective League. 679 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 3: And again this goes back to we're a long way 680 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 3: from twenty twenty where it was all about to fund 681 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 3: the police. Don't respect the police, their thugs and killers. 682 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 3: Now we know, after three years of rise and crime 683 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 3: that we need the police and new recruits. Pank could 684 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 3: go up eleven percent, four year to year increases of 685 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 3: three percent to each officer's base wage, so I guess 686 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 3: this is agreeable to the union too. They also are 687 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 3: going to increase retention pay to ensure they stay with 688 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 3: the agency over the long term. There's also a five 689 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 3: percent boost in their health insurance subsidy, so it sounds 690 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 3: like it might be a good deal if the union's 691 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 3: agreed to it. Of course, they'll have to vote. 692 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: Did you see along these lines the unbelievable thing that 693 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: happened in Oakland with the NAACP No. The NAACP ripped 694 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: into the local DA over her inability to prosecute criminals. 695 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: The NAACP said it's not racist for people to want 696 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: to be safe. 697 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 3: Because a lot of the victims are probably black England. 698 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: And so they released a statement to all the elected 699 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: leaders in Oakland and said failed leadership, including the movement 700 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: to defund the police are DA's unwillingness to charge and 701 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes 702 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: and the proliferation of anti police rhetoric have created a 703 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: heyday for Oakland criminals. They want Oakland to declare a 704 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: state of emergency and end the public safety crisis. The president, 705 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: Cynthia Adams, said, we had to say something. We were 706 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: too quiet. We were too quiet. As you know, the 707 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: old saying says a closed mouth never gets fed. We 708 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 1: have to open our mouth. We have to say something. 709 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: You can't go to grocery stores, you can't put groceries 710 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: in your car, you can't do anything. And the DAS 711 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: fighting back saying that, oh, that's a false narrative. 712 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 3: Wow, And I'm glad she got she got elected by 713 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 3: the George Soros rights. 714 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. 715 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, those groups have done a lot of damage to 716 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: the cities. I mean, I mean San Francisco is gone, 717 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: Portland is gone. There are two stories this week in 718 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: New York Times. 719 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 3: It's, oh, yeah, that's crazy. What's happening there? All the overdose. 720 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, my son told me he was up in Portland earlier, oh, 721 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 1: actually last year, and he said he's never gone there again. 722 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 2: He says maybe, he says he has to. 723 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: Maybe eight out of ten people walking the streets was 724 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: whacked out on drugs or mentally ill. It's it's just unbelievable. 725 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: They destroyed two really nice cities. Portland and San Francisco. 726 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: Oakland was never nice, but now I guess it's unlivable. 727 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 2: All right. 728 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 3: We're standing by for the latest federal indictment against the 729 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 3: former President Trump coming from the Justice Department, dealing with 730 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty election. 731 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 2: If we get that, we'll run it. 732 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 3: If not, we'll also be talking about Today is the 733 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 3: day where LA renters are supposed to pay most of 734 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 3: their back rent.
