Well, 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: today there was a protest on the one, ten and 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: seven ten freeways. Truckers a slowdown. They're upset because this 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: stupid bill that was passed first took effect first to 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: January and twenty twenty. It's known as AB five. But 18 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: what it did is it heavily regulated people who were 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: working as freelancers under contracts truckers for example, who were 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: independent business owners on their own and they make deals 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: to truck goods with whoever they wish. This affected a 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: lot of industries. Yeah, they gave carve outs. And remember 23 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: Uber and Lyft put that proposition on the ballot that 24 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: passed to give them a carve out. But you know, 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: carve outs were just part of a lobbying effort. But 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: it didn't happen for the independent truckers. Apparently there was 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: an injunction in place since twenty twenty that prevented the 28 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: law from being enforced. There was a lawsuit and a 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: June thirtieth, the Supreme Court denied a petition brought forth 30 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: by the California Trucking Association. That means that any day 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: now the injunction could be lifted, and that could be 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: bad news for the independent owner operated truck drivers. We're 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: gonna talk down a match. Trappis the CEO of the 34 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: Harbor Trucking Association, and we'll see what the effects of this, uh, 35 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: this new bill being implemented is going to have on 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: trucking and if there's going to be more protests going on. Matt, 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: how are you good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm well, thank you 38 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: for having me on so what does it do to 39 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: a lot of these independent truckers, How does it change 40 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: their lives? Well, there's a lot of ambiguity in the law, unfortunately, 41 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the major pain points here, 42 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: and this a lot of the frustration that these drivers 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: are feeling is that folks just that they don't know 44 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: the On its face, it what it does is it 45 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: prevents these independent owner operators from from contracting with other 46 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: trucking companies to provide services. They are will be unable 47 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: to operate under another trucking companies authority and from an 48 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: initial blush, we'll at a minute be forced to go 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: out get their own authority, which just has additional costs 50 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: associated with it. And again there's a lot of ambiguity 51 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: within the law itself as whether or not that's even 52 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: going to be a possibility really, So, I mean, this 53 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: is pretty far reaching for the trucking industry because I know, 54 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: another line of work and just put a limit on 55 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: how many how many independent gigs you could have in 56 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: a given year. But this keeps you from having any potentially, Yes, 57 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: it really only sets up one sheer fire pathway and 58 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: that's an employee based driver model. So we're at pH today. 59 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: We have several different business models. Employees with their own trucks, 60 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: employee companies with their own trucks, we have owner operator companies, 61 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: we have everything under the sun, hybrid models, and essentially 62 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: all of them are are curious about how this is 63 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: going to pan out. So you just have to work 64 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: with one company, one trucking company, that would be the thought. 65 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: So really, at the end of the day, this is 66 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: where these legal questions are still outstanding. That if you 67 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: are an independent truck operator, you own your own equipment. 68 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: If you go and secure your own operating authority, you 69 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: get your own insurance, you get a concession from the 70 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: Port of Los Angeles, you register with the Port of 71 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: Long each you pay the yearly through with your truck. 72 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: You set yourself up with the UIIA, which is a 73 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: uniform intermortal interchange agreement in order to take possession of 74 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 1: the equipment. You take financial responsibility. What is the danger 75 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: of being an independent trucker? Why did this need to 76 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: be regulated? This doesn't seem like it's a problem. It's 77 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: just a way of another way of doing business. Frankly, 78 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: I think that it was driven by labor. The teamsters 79 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: in particular, have been very vocal about port drage trucking 80 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: for many years, for the past couple decades. It's at 81 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: least especially related to some of the misclassification suits for 82 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: companies who were misclassifying employers employees as owner operators. So 83 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: this drove basically after the Dynamics case hearing at the 84 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: Supreme Court of California in twenty eighteen. On its heels 85 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: came this bill which basically spread the ABC test across 86 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: the labor and unemployment codes, which basically said you have 87 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: to be an employee, which paves the way essentially for 88 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: additional organizing opportunities. So the teams want more members, so 89 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: they had Lorena Gonzalez facilitated bills so they could get 90 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: more members. For stand, what are the benefits for somebody 91 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: that's an independent trucker, Because the Lorena Gonzalez tried to 92 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: sell this as well, you become an employee and therefore 93 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: you'll be subject to all the protections and benefits to 94 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: being an employee of a company. What are the independent 95 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: truckers say that their benefits are if we'd be having 96 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: their lives continue the way they are. It's about freedom, 97 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: It's about their freedom of choice to be able to 98 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: decide who they want to haul for when they want 99 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: to haul, If they want to take a month off 100 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: at any point in time during year, they have that prerogative. Obviously, 101 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: as an employee, you're limited to whatever type of employment contract, 102 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: which usually doesn't involve a full months off at a time. 103 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: If you don't show up for work, as we all know, 104 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 1: you can only get so many strikes against you before 105 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: you get terminated. And I know in some of her 106 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: recent tweets she's been pointing to a one trucking company 107 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: in particular, and you go on their website and they're 108 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: always looking for employee drivers. If these independent contractors wanted 109 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: to be employees, there has been a tremendous amount of 110 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: employee job openings available to them for the past several years. 111 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: The bottom line is they don't want to be employee. 112 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: It seems to be a basic freedom that people should 113 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: have that they decide what kind of employee employer relationship 114 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: they have. And as long as there's a trucking company 115 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: willing to take you on as a freelance driver, an 116 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: independent driver, then well it's not harming. Anybody think that 117 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: is ridiculous? What a past of state. This is you're 118 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: Matt saying the overwhelming number of independent truckers though don't 119 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: like AB five. Has that been the case with polling 120 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: or other means from anecdotal, direct conversations through kind of 121 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: the grape vine, so to speak. And again I think 122 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: the facts just speak for themselves. There are plenty of 123 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: employee jobs that are available. If these folks wanted to 124 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: be employees, they literally have had that opportunity. So just 125 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: by that, by virtue of the availability of these employee 126 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: jobs and these independent contractors deciding to maintain the business 127 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: model that they're working under, I think gives credence to 128 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: the fact that they are not interested in becoming employees. 129 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: And the frustration with AB five is it didn't give 130 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: a type of you know, let's call it a carve 131 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: out for them to remain as independent businesses, or at 132 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: least there isn't enough clarity within the law and how 133 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: they're exactly supposed to do that. So the way you 134 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: explained it, they either have to become an employer themselves 135 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: with all of that bureaucracy that you mentioned it comes 136 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: with it, or they have to be hired as an 137 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: employee can take those jobs you just mentioned. It seems 138 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: like those are only two choices they have at this point. Yes, 139 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: what what what is the your group going to do? Now? 140 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: I mean you had slowdowns today on the one ten 141 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: and the seven ten freeways. There's some picketing going on, 142 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: So what is the Harvard Trucking Association plan for a 143 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: further public protest? So well, I'll tell you, I'll be 144 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: honest with you guys that this was not our doing. 145 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: This was an organic movement that starts on They're independent, 146 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: they don't report to anybody. That's right. They made their own. 147 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: This was just a they just organized on social media. 148 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: Who knows. I don't know exactly how it happened. It 149 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: organically grew out of social media and just the frustration 150 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: and these trucker chat groups on Instagram, Facebook, etc. Where 151 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: the frustration just started being invented. And then as I 152 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: was viewing it happening in front of me monitoring these 153 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: these groups, that it literally happened organically. Someone mentioned it. 154 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: They said, Hey, let's you know, let's let's shut it down. Dick. 155 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: State of California clearly isn't interested in our concerns, and 156 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: the only way that we're going to have our voice 157 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: heard is to have a large action. I mean, I've 158 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: seen estimates today that we're talking about close to seven 159 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: hundred trucks that we're participating in these various actions across 160 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: the harbor. And so what's what's the best possibility you're 161 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: getting a carve out from AB five. I mean maybe 162 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: the fastest thing, I guess at the end of the day. Yes, 163 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: but I think that just clarity within the law itself, 164 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: some clarifying language. You know, we're well passed the bill 165 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: introduction dates up in Sacramento, so we won't be seeing 166 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: something this session, but anything that would provide a level 167 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: of clarity, a pathway for these men and women to 168 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,479 Speaker 1: understand how they can remain independent without having legal questions 169 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: floating over their head waiting for either a plaintiffs attorney 170 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: or the Department of Industrial Relations to come knocking on 171 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: somebody's door. You know, suggested with all the supply chain 172 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: problems you already have, they have to do this to 173 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: the trucking This is Soviet union stuff. Well, listen, thank 174 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: you for coming on, Matt, and if you have any 175 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: more information along the way, you let us know. All right, 176 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: Thank you gentlemen, you have a great afternoon. We're remember. 177 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: If you got it, a truck brought it. Yeah. Yeah, 178 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: if you've got it, a truck brought it. Matt Shrapp 179 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: is the CEO of the Harvard Trucking Association, and they 180 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: did a well independently independent truckers. They want to stay independent. 181 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: They did a little protest today on the one, ten, 182 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: and seven ten freeways slowing up traffic to bring attention 183 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: to their cause. They want to stay independent, and this 184 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: AB five is possibly going to prevent them from doing 185 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: that because they're gonna either have to take a job 186 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: with a company, become an employee that's not independent, although 187 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: I have to sort of become their own employer or 188 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: form their own company, and then go through all of 189 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: the paperwork that Matt described, all the bureaucracy they'd have to, 190 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: all the hurdles they'd have to do. This law was 191 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: written by a union stooge named Lorena Gonzales and after 192 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: she is just a union stooge and her job was 193 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: to get this through. So now a lot of these 194 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: guys potential union forced to work for trucking companies and 195 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: join unions. The teamsters were behind this and so Lorena 196 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,119 Speaker 1: Gonzalez did her stooge work. Then she leaves the legislature 197 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: and gets a job as a union executive. And that's 198 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: how the real world works. It's just more corruption. I 199 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: feel like mad for the truckers having to go through 200 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: this nonsense.

Yesterday during 221 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: this hour, we talked to David Goldstein, investigative reporter for 222 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: CBS two and Channel nine, and his story last night 223 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: was he was going to name names celebrities who live 224 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: in the Calabassas area who have been cited for using 225 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: too much water. We're gonna play that after three thirty because, 226 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: oh John, I did learn which Kardashian it was. It 227 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: leaked out on another news report I saw this morning. Yes, 228 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: but I had predicted accurately. I even bet a dollar 229 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: on it that there was gonna be a Kardashian in there. 230 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: How could there not be a Kardashian. There is a 231 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: Kardashian in the mix, and we'll play David's report after 232 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: three thirty. This is the Calabasas. Let's Virginus Water District. 233 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: A lot of big names they've gone crazy with, David. 234 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: David was not exaggerating on the list of big names, 235 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? I heard Kevin Hart's name come up. Yes, 236 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: he was on the list two now and the name 237 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: of the environmentalist also, which I quietly guessed and I 238 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: was correct. All right, so we'll hear it. After three 239 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: thirty we were just talking about how independent truckers we're 240 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: protesting today. They don't like AB five, the bill that 241 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: was passed and the legislatures signed by Newsom, which will 242 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: take away their independence. They're going to have to find 243 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: work with a company as an employee or become their 244 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: own company, so to speak. The other bad news for 245 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: the truckers is one that's been around a long time, 246 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: but it's going to come to a head on January 247 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: first of twenty twenty three, and it's possible that seventy 248 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: six thousand trucks may be off the roads of California. 249 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: Seventy six thousand. This is the one that's going to 250 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: no longer allow what they call pre twenty ten emissions 251 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: spec engines. So it says here, according to the California 252 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: Air Resources Board Truck and Bus regulations. They're going to 253 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: ban the use of all trucks powered by two thousand 254 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: and six and older emission spec engines with a few exceptions, 255 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: beginning in the year twenty twenty three. According to this 256 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: article we're reading, that could effect up to seventy thousand 257 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: trucks currently on the roads in California. You know, and 258 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: this stuff affects your life because you know how hard 259 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: it is to find stuff on the shelves. Yes, I 260 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: mean there is not a store I go into where 261 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: there isn't some supply chain issue involving some products. There's 262 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: gaps on all the shelves. I talk to clerks and 263 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: managers and they say how difficult it is to get 264 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff, weird stuff that you'd never think 265 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: twice about. And now yet you have that that trucking 266 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: law that passed that we discussed in the last segment, 267 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: where you can't have where independent truckers can't work independently anymore, 268 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: then you have their trucks being declared illegal. Yes, a 269 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: lot of these guys are going to get out of 270 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the trucking business in California because it's obviously really expensive 271 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: to have to get a new truck. Oh, this is crazy. 272 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: Drivers who do own a twenty ten model year truck 273 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: with a twenty ten model year engine can report their 274 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: engine as complainant, but they have to actually send photos 275 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: of the engine compartment to show them. But it says 276 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: here for owners who have their trucks domiciled in California, 277 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: these trucks will be blocked from registering by the California 278 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: DMV after January. First. Wait, it's even worse. If you're 279 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: an out of state owner and you operate these older engines. 280 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: They couldn't pound your truck. And they are going to 281 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: put patrols at the California borders on the highways that 282 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: leave Arizona and affect the engines, and they're going to 283 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: be inspecting the trucks as they come in the way. 284 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: They inspect for medflies and fruit. Now, so you're not 285 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: going to be allowed in the state. You're gonna be 286 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: turned around and sent back. Now, God forbid. They would 287 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: do that to deal with the illegal alien crisis. But 288 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: legal Americans working as truckers, which is a difficult job. 289 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: It's not fun being a lifetime trucker, and these are 290 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: the guys you're beating on with all the supply train 291 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: problems on top of that, they can't even work independently anymore. 292 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: I mean, this is so obnoxious and abusive. And this 293 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: is the legislature you vote for. And then they create 294 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: the stupid California Air Resources Board, which is so abusive too, 295 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: and they're not they're you know, then they're not even accountable. 296 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: They're appointed people, and it's it's terrible. And then you're 297 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: gonna wonder why you can't find stuff or why stuff 298 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: is so expensive. You elect people and you pay these 299 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: elected people to make your life difficult and expensive. Why. 300 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: But this is the stuff nobody camp paints on. This 301 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: is the stuff that isn't covered in the news. It's terrible, 302 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: all right. When we come back, we'll play David Goldstein's 303 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: report on celebrities living up in the Calabasas area their 304 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: customers the Calabasas Less Virginus Water District. Well, they're wasting water, 305 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: according to the water district, and action has been taken 306 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: to limit the amount of water that they can take 307 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: into their households.

Another reason just to 310 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: love the La County District Attorney George Gasconne. Apparently now 311 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: he's disbanding the victims advocacy team in the La County 312 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: DA's office known as the Lifer Unit. Believe that basically 313 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: this means that they're not going to keep victims up 314 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: to date on the developments of upcoming hearings or possible 315 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: parole of the criminal. He hates victims, he really hates them. Yeah, 316 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: they don't serve his commissioned. It's just so weird.

It's been this way for probably 334 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: about four or three four weeks.

Everyone has a water budget. 340 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: If you go over it, you may get hit with 341 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: financial penalties. Staying in budget leads to brown grass at 342 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: Hazen's house. I think I'm doing my part. I'm trying 343 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: to do my part, but while he's doing his part. 344 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: The water district serves about seventy five thousand residents and 345 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: relies on a water supply that's dangerously low. The district 346 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: covers the sprawling Hills of multimillion dollar mansions in western 347 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: La County.

Water records we obtain 353 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: show the account, which is listed under a trust, used 354 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty five percent of its allotted water 355 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: budget in May. That's almost one and a half times 356 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: more than what's budgeted. The fourth month it went over budget. 357 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone's nineteen million dollar mansion in Hidden Hills is 358 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: also on the list of those who went over budget 359 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: for at least four months.

The water supply 368 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: condition is very dire. Lost virgin Is Water Districts Joe 369 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: McDermott says anyone who exceeds one hundred and fifty percent 370 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: of their budget for at least two months pays a 371 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: penalty for water in an effort to try and get 372 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: them to conserve. But for some money seems to flow 373 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: like water. For those customers that are very affluent and 374 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: have lots of cash, lots of cash, financial penalties don't 375 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: necessarily work. We don't think that you should be able 376 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: to buy your way out of a drought. Everybody needs 377 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: to do their part. This is very very serious. You're 378 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: getting money gallons a minute, So the district has devised 379 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: a plan. It's pretty quick and fainless as far as installation. 380 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: This disc placed in the pipe at the water meter 381 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: of homes over budget for four or more months cuts 382 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: flow from twenty six gallons a minute the maximumy can 383 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: get is just a little under one gallon a minute 384 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: to just one. It stays on for two weeks, forcing 385 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: people to concern. Actually tested one at my house. What 386 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: do you think it wasn't great? The flow restrictor is 387 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: reserved for the worst offenders with four or more months 388 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: over budget. That means all these celebrities we showed you 389 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: are on the list to potentially get one, and some 390 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: already have records we obtain show Kevin Hart got one. 391 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: They show a flow restrictor was installed on his home 392 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: in Calabasas with a personalized workout area. The restrictor was 393 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 1: removed after two weeks. This mansion in Calabasas also had 394 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: a flow restrictor for two weeks. The account is in 395 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: the name of the estate of Michael Jackson. This home 396 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: also had a flow restrictor for two weeks. The water 397 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: account and the real name of rapper Nasage. Everybody and 398 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: keeping with the area officials say some people they won't 399 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: say who, tried to pay their way out. Some have 400 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: asked us to remove it. Say who and in which 401 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: case I used? They want to pay you extra to 402 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: get rid of it tomorrow. Yeah. Is that fair to 403 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: the average person in your district. It's not fair. I'm 404 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: taking the entire lawn out. Environmental activist Aaron Brockovich is 405 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: doing her part, but She's also on the list of 406 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: those eligible for a restrictor because she's been using too 407 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: much water, but she's now installing artificial turf and drought 408 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: resistant plants and says she's reduced her water use. You 409 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: are known for environmental causes, yet you are listed as 410 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: a water offender. In the past. There's been some months 411 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: where yes, I was above It's like being a sex offender, 412 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: said I was allowed to use, I was fined. I've 413 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: paid those spines and I started taking very swift action. 414 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: We did have a really nice green lawn and for 415 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: those like Mike Haysan who are suffering through the drought. 416 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: The hope is everyone will get the message. Hopefully we 417 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: can come out of this and we can, you know, 418 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: be able to get some green lawns again. No. Sylvester 419 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: Stallone's lawyer contacted us saying he has five hundred mature 420 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: trees on the property, saying absent adequate watering, in all 421 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: likelihood they die. He's addressing the situation with the city, 422 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: and Howie Mandel's representatives sent us his latest water bill 423 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: showing in June he has reduced his water usage. We 424 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: reached out to others and they didn't get back with us. 425 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: He said his water bills. People are about their image. No, no, 426 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: look at my water bills. See I used less. Well, 427 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean the Stallone guy makes a good point. Well, 428 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: they apparently have a bunch of mature trees on the property. 429 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: If they don't water them, they'll die and they could 430 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: fall over onto clients properties. But we're told the trees 431 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: are good to count the effects of climate change. They 432 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: provide shade, they take in carabbin. The government they gotta 433 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 1: have trees, and they need water. The government has the 434 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: big blunderbus policies and they don't use intelligence to look 435 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: at each situation individually. The video in this story showed 436 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: these massive states, I mean, huge mansions with lots of 437 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: property all around it, lots of lawn, lots of trees. 438 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean this is unlike anything you see in any 439 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: normal neighborhood. I mean there isn't even that much stuff 440 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: on the West side like this, which is why they 441 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: go up to Calabasas, because there's so much more room 442 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: there to have to have a multi acre estate. Right. So, 443 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: but I mean I assume they get a higher water 444 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: budget than somebody who has, you know, a seven thousand 445 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: square foot property. All right, coming up after four o'clock. 446 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: Another one from the George Gascon recall desks. Oh, the 447 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: one more thing. Why don't they just increase the water supply, 448 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: more reservoirs de salent Asian plants. That's what you do. 449 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: Stop picking on everybody. Stop you said that before, I haven't, 450 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: I should about a million times. All right, we will 451 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: be talking about George Gasco in the La County DA. 452 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: He wants to dismantle a unit in the La County 453 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: DA's office that serves the victims of crimes or victims families, 454 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: including things like being notified when the criminal might be paroled, 455 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: completely given up on victims. Our guests, John Lewis will 456 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: come on after four o'clock. He's a deputy DA. Johnny 457 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: Ken show. Fine, we'll bring out the George Gasco and 458 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: recall desk. There's and yet another story. This time it 459 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: involves the La County DA's office apparently disbanding the unit 460 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: that works to represent victims of crime, victims and their 461 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: families in case it's a murder case, that's what he disbands, 462 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: the unit that helps victims. So we'll talk about it, 463 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: coming up after four or five after that, Like how 464 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: did he get what happened to him? Like what's his 465 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: story that he's so cruel to people? Also, there's plenty 466 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: today in Bidenville. Holy mackerel, he had an audio to play. 467 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: Can you imagine? I mean he had to find a 468 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: bit of a meltdown at a reporter who challenged him 469 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: over a pole. Wow. When when your brain is failing 470 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: and you have to fly from Washington to Israel today Israel, 471 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: I mean that that's that's I don't know, six hours, 472 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,719 Speaker 1: I think at least, yeah, maybe more. And and so 473 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: you're you're your your whole day is upside down, right, 474 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: Like normally he probably gets to bed about seven at 475 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: night and gets a good twelve hours and and now 476 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: you know it might be three in the afternoon and 477 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: he really should be in his second sleep cycle. Uh 478 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: So we'll get to Bidenville next hour or two ten hours, 479 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: fifty five minutes to from here from DC, it isn't 480 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: really that much. Yes, Wow, it's farther out than I thought. 481 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: So I think it's six hours to London. So yeah, 482 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I guess it. Katie Hill is really screwed who used 483 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: to be in Congress. But it was really only about 484 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: a year. You know, Katie Hill, this is up in 485 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: the Antelope Valley. She's from Agua Dulci. I had forgotten this. 486 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: You know what her position was before she ran for 487 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: and won this congressional seat in twenty eighteen. She was 488 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: the executive director of PATH People Assisting the homeless. Talk 489 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: about the homeless industrial complex, right, So she made her money. 490 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: That's well, that was how she vaulted herself to to 491 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: this position. Yeah, I'm sure lasted a year because she 492 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: was involved in a throttle the word that come on, 493 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: didn't we didn't we ban that word? That's a gross word? 494 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: That one of her congressional staffers and she and I 495 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: guess what was her husband? Doesn't it sound like a 496 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: body part of ruffle, like some kind of dangling body part. 497 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: It didn't work out because she believes that her ex 498 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: husband sent nude photos of her to The Daily Mail 499 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: and to other conservative organizations to publish without her consent. 500 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: The reason she's in the news today, it's because she's bankrupt. 501 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: She bankrupted herself. She sued a lot of these like 502 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail, and they were all allowed to continue 503 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: under the grounds of free speech. She lost her suits, 504 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: and now she's got a pile of attorney fees. She 505 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: has to pay their attorney fees, yes, and her own. Yes. 506 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: And one of the journalists who broke the story, who 507 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: I think we had on the air, and a conservative 508 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: news site ran the story and they got sued as well, 509 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: and she has to pay their legal fees. She alleged 510 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: in the lawsuits that the nudes the nudes violated Californias 511 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: for a Venge porn law, which criminalizes sharing private photos 512 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: of someone without their permission except when it is in 513 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: the public interest. Well, I guess because she's in Congress. Well, 514 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, to call something porn mean it means it's 515 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: arousing in some way. So I'm not sure it qualifies. 516 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: Are you making a judgment? I'm just telling you about 517 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: the law. I would think the intricacies and nuances of 518 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: the of the law. Well, now she's got no money. 519 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't even know what she does. Now did she 520 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: go back and find another position with one of these 521 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: social organizations? I mean, she's just you know, one of 522 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: these one of these useless politicians. You know, first of all, 523 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: she works for an ineffective homeless organization, probably using tax money. 524 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: You go to Washington, you become an ineffective congress person 525 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: more interested in three ways. I mean she she had 526 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: two accusations against her. She denied the one involving her 527 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: her congressional aid. Yeah, because that that violates the House rules. 528 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: So she wouldn't admit to something that violates the rules. 529 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: She admitted to another one. And it's like, what were 530 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: you doing? Huh what what are you doing it? You 531 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: went to Washington just have sex with a many of 532 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: people you could find. Yeah, story, I mean, you got 533 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: you got a husband, and you got a girl on 534 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: the side. You got a guy on the side. It's like, 535 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: I don't care what you do, but you're supposed to 536 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: be there to work for us. Yeah, she did have 537 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: to pay the Daily Mail. She was ordered by a 538 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: judge to pay the Daily Mail one hundred thousand dollars. 539 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: This story is just from a year ago. Well, you know, indeed, 540 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: she did have to pay the legal fees for the 541 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: places she sued. She had a bad lawyer, because a 542 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: lawyer should have should have told her what the what 543 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: the likely ruling would be, and how risky it was 544 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: to uh do this lawsuit. And then you're you're liable 545 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: for you, because you can't go wantingly suing people and 546 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: running up their legal bills by hundreds of thousands of dollars. 547 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: That's why judges impose those fines in order to discourage 548 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: frivolous lawsuits. So now her cause is cyber exploitation, is 549 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: what she calls. It's cyber exploitation. Who cares when a 550 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: vengeful person or political opponents in a global tabloid conspired 551 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: to take me and publish naked photos of me, including 552 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: those taken without my knowledge or consent. It was your husband, 553 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: a judge rule my naked body was in the public interest. 554 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, because she was in Congress, she was 555 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: a couple figure. It's a public figure. Yeah. It was 556 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: a big scandal, and people who live in her district 557 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: have a right to know what she's up to. Yeah, 558 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: all right. When we come back, Big Story, we'll be 559 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: at the Gascon recall desk.
