How about that. Yeah, he made news because 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: he got tackled. Hill. It was no one to be 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: talking about Dave Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl last night, 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: except he got tackled. Well. Netflix had this comedy festival 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: that they were running all week at the holiday at 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: the Hollywood Bowl, and this was this was star studded. 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean Chris Rock performed there, Yeah, and then Dave 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: Chappelle and right at the end, Jamie Fox was there. Yeah. 32 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: Crazy guy comes out of the crowd and he's got 33 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: on him. Although we didn't use it, a fake gun 34 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: with a real knife inside, Yeah, described us a replica 35 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: gun with a knife blade attached. Weird. Steve Gregory, of course, 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: with his sources in LAPD, can probably talk more about this. Yeah, 37 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: the guy. Yeah, guys. So the big question is how 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: on earth did he get this through security? Well, that's 39 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: what I was asking because they had metal detectors at 40 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: Hollywood Ball. Yeah, so that begs the question, and I 41 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: was talking to as Kensett's a couple of sources in 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: LAPD today. I could not get a definitive from anybody 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: as to whether or not that was a real metal 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: metal blade because most replica guns are plastic or rubber, 45 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: and I could not get whether or not the blade 46 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: was also plastic or possibly hard really wouldn't tell you, 47 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: or carbon fiber. No, and two reasons. One the one 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: source just said, we don't know, and the other source says, 49 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: you know what, we haven't been given that information yet, 50 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: So I guess there's that report is being very how 51 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: shall I say, close to the vest. So if it 52 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: wasn't a metal knife, could it have done damage? Absolutely? 53 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: That thing looks very sharp to me because I'm looking 54 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: at the photos that were sent to me through LAPD 55 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: and that that blade looks like it's it looks metal 56 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: to me as I look at it, and it's actually 57 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: photographed on a metal surface. So I'm looking at it 58 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: and it looks to me as if it's a sharp knife, 59 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: and in fact, if you look closer, it's got it 60 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: looks like one of those tactical knives that people use 61 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: in like a close quarter fight, like you know, right 62 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: up close in person. If it's not metal, what would 63 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: it be made of? I don't It could be a 64 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: carbon fiber, or could be plastic, or it could be 65 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: you know, you know, a hard plastic, right John, Did 66 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: you see the picture in the Daily Mail website that 67 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: they got or you could just go to at Steve 68 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: Gregory six on Instagram and give him a like yeah. 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: But what it does is that they I show the 70 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: picture of it what it looks like when it's folded 71 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: under and tucked under the barrel, because that's how it's concealed, 72 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: and then you see it and it's pulled out and drawn. 73 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean the picture that I'm looking at, 74 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: it really looks metal. I mean it does, doesn't it? Yeah? 75 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: It does. It could not get confirmations sort of a 76 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: serrated edge there on the bottom on the very bottom 77 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: half half of the blade of serrated half of it 78 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: is sharp. Yeah, but the front row look sharp. Yeah. Yeah, 79 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: So it looks to me as metal. So then that 80 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: begs the question again, how did it get through security? 81 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Because there's no there's no X ray machines. It's a magnumometer, 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: which is a basically just a metal detector. So how 83 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: did that get through? Right? You get the beat? Yeah, 84 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: So of course that's going to be a huge inquiry 85 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: into Hollywood Bowl security and typically whether it was a 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: because sometimes I don't know much about the Hollywood Bowl security. 87 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I do know that it's private security combined with employees 88 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: of the of the Hollywood Bowl that I'm told, but 89 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: I can't even remember the last time it was at 90 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: the Bowl, so I couldn't I couldn't tell you from 91 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: first person when it's like to go through there. But 92 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: I do know that that is a big part of 93 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: this inquiry is how was he able to get that 94 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: through or did he planted it another time in another location. 95 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: There's a lot of little nooks and crannies there at 96 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: the Bowl, and was it something that was planted he 97 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: was able to retrieve later. No one knows. They'll they'll 98 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: figure it out. He was, as John was mentioning, Chappelle 99 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: was tackled, I mean full on tackled. The guy ran 100 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: up and did a full body tackle on him and 101 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: knock Chappelle to the stage. Chappelle was able to get 102 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: away from that by then, you know, just like it 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: looks like a dozen people just immediately merged from the wings. 104 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: You know, if he came from one of the seats 105 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: in the crowder, he came from off the side of 106 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: It looks like it's like you know, on some of 107 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: those stages, and I believe the bull is the same way. 108 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: You have a staircase that's off to the side, which 109 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: would be stage left, stage right, or off to the wings. 110 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: You do have stairs that go from the audience up 111 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: to the stage, and it looks like he came from 112 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: that section, and as you look at it, it would 113 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: be the side as your flest side as you're facing 114 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: David right. He clambered up really quickly, as if he 115 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: was running upstairs. It's hard to tell from a distant shot. 116 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: So we don't know how kind of ticket he had 117 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: to the event. No, no, And I said, and here's 118 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: the other thing too, is they took him to a 119 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: hospital because if you haven't seen the photos by now 120 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: or the images by now, he's got a swollen face. 121 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: So someone got some good licks in. It's not sure 122 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: whether it's Chappelle or people in his team or others, 123 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: but someone got some licks in and so he was 124 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: taken to a hospital because he was injured. And you know, 125 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: he was taken by you know, the way the ambulance 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: had to pull up there, people were watching and booing 127 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: the clients he was being taken on. Was there a 128 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: heightened sense of security ever since Will Smith clocked Chris Rock? 129 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean where they there were? I mean, I thought, 130 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, for a few days there they were talking 131 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: about how you know, all comedians are now worried there's 132 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: going to be copycats, right, this broken invisible barrier. Yeah, 133 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: there was more of a concern about Chappelle's comments about 134 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community. So there was a heightened risk or 135 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: a heightened sense of security because of that, not as 136 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: much as the Will Smith thing. Because the Will Smith thing, which, 137 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: by the way, I have to tell you I did 138 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: ask the LAPD why was this guy arrested vigorously arrested 139 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: and Will Smith wasn't. Well, you know what's funny is 140 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: that Will Smith was applauded by the crowd and allowed 141 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: to accept his award. Here the crowd booed the guy 142 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: and everybody backstage. Well, I mean, I mean, well, here's 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the difference, and here's the answer. I know the answer, Okay, Well, 144 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: for those that don't know the answer, the guy had 145 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: a weapon. And that's a big difference. I mean Will Smith, 146 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: Will Smith's open hand was a minor assault compared to 147 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: a guy because the guy was booked for assault with 148 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: a deadly weapon. Yeah, but did people know that was 149 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: a weapon in his hand or still in his pocket? Well? No, 150 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: but at the time, so when he was tackled and 151 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: held by security until LAPD arrived, they weren't patting him down. 152 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: LAPD hadded him down, so they were holding him. LAPD 153 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: could have chosen not to not to book him if 154 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: they wanted to, because again, you have to have a victim. 155 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: And that's the difference on the Will Smith thing, because 156 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: Chris Rock said no, so there's no victim. I mean, 157 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: he's got a weapon on him. You got it right, 158 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: when there's a weapon I put on death row? Was 159 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: that what? But I mean the crowd still could have 160 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: given him a standing ovation, right for I guess, Well Smith, 161 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't understand. Yeah, Well, you know, here's the thing 162 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: I think in this case, Dave Chappelle was a lot 163 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: more beloved, uh in this particular situation, and and besides that, 164 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, he could have I mean, that could have 165 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: been very severe if that guy had gone at him 166 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: with a knife, he would have gotten a good you know, 167 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: who knows what damage he could have done. But um, 168 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: but then Chappelle was able to get out of that 169 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: grapple pretty quickly. That's the thing that's going to be next. 170 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: All right, Now you got a guy with with you know, 171 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: maybe it was a fake knife, who knows, But the 172 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: next guy is going to run up with a real 173 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: knife and try to use it. Yeah, there's so many 174 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: lunatics out. There's so many of them. But you got 175 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: to go back to the security at the bowl. What happened? 176 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: I mean there that looks like there was a failure 177 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: in some sort of a perimeter. What does the bowl hold? 178 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: I mean it holds Oh, it's a couple you know, 179 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: a few thousand thousand UM was at sixty fifty sixty 180 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: something like that. It holds that much, really think so 181 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty huge that way. Well seventeen. Well 182 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm a little way off there my math spot, but 183 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: all right, but I mean I think on a stadium, 184 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: I mean that's so FI stadium is sixty. Yeah, that's what. Well. 185 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: I always I always wonder if if you can be 186 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: perfect with something like that, whether you're taking seventeen thousand 187 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: or sixty thousand. You know, somebody could sneak through. Well again, 188 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, if you look at the typical concerts that 189 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: go on there, you know, if you've had every type 190 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: of concert imaginable there, every type of a genre of 191 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: music and performance at the Bowl, and you've never, to 192 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: my knowledge, at least in the years I've been here, 193 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: I've never seen this kind of a thing happen at 194 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: the Bowl. They're usually pretty good, the audience scores are 195 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: usually pretty good. But it only takes one guy. Now 196 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: here's the thing, knowing are they looking at this guy, 197 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: you know, treating him physically, but they got to look 198 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: at him on a mental thing too. This could be 199 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: a potential fifty one fifty situation. Yeah, I'd say so, 200 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: the mental hold by Steve. All right, thanks guys, all 201 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: right bye. Yeah. Last I read about the attacker is 202 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: that he apparently was living with some brothers of his 203 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: in Redundo Beach, but had described himself at a previous 204 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: arrest is homeless, as supposedly one of these families that 205 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: got abandoned by their parents or something like that, and 206 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: they were in the you know, the whole foster care 207 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: system or something like that, So it could be a 208 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: lot of stories about him. And again we said he 209 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: was an aspiring rapper who actually wrote a song about 210 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle and didn't talk about the Hollywood Bowl. How's 211 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: that for? What's the rap sheet? Though? Is just the 212 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: first time he's done something violently? Arrest for one crime 213 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: and I'd have to look it up again. I can't 214 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: remember what the reasons were. Curious are more coming up? 215 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: John and kencho Cafe. One of the weirdest stories to 216 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: pop up recently was this disinformation board that the Department 217 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security has established the Department of Homeland Security Secretary. 218 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: You should be out of a job as soon as 219 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: the big bald head ma Orcus, who looks a lot 220 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: like that doctor Mark Gallley, doesn't he who's our yeah, 221 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: California chief. Yeah, when you lose your hairt you get stupid. 222 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: But the eyes are big and the whole expression is 223 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: just dumb faced. Yeah. No, he is a real blockhead, 224 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: he really is. He's a holdover from the Obama administration. 225 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: Ma Orcus has been around. It's not the whole ommigration 226 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: things now, classic Washington bureaucratic hack who falls forward. Every 227 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: time he fails, he tumbles forward and gets a bigger job. 228 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 1: So he got a questioned, as he's been questioned for 229 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: like a week now, this time it's the Senate. The 230 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: Senate was questioning the Senate Appropriations Community. They're doing this 231 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: budget thing, and there's a senator from Louisiana named John Kennedy, 232 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: no relation to the former president. He's a Republican, and 233 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: he decided this line of questioning might be interesting because 234 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: the woman he's named to be the head of this 235 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: disinformation board, of which nobody really knows that to hell 236 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: that is anyway, is a woman by the name of 237 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: Nita Jankowitz who is weird and really far out their 238 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: progressive liberal wacko. We should play a little clip of 239 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: her Mary Poppins song. They do have that? Do you 240 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: want to play? Play it? Boy? A little bit is 241 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: really quite for she sits when it hops to take 242 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: some lines and makes them sounds because she's by saying 243 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: then in CONGRESSOO and mainstream up. But so disinformation's origins 244 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: are slightly less patrocious. Her explanation of disinformation there, yes, 245 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: and that should immediately disqualify her from any government. John 246 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't she have been wrapped up and carried away. She's 247 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: got several more videos, by the way, on TikTok, but 248 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: she's now gone private. You can't access them. Yeah, I know, 249 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: but they're they're out there forever anyway. So this Senator 250 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: John and Kennedy really wanted to know, and there's more 251 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: to this than just her wacky TikTok videos. She didn't 252 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: believe in the Hunter Biden laptop. She also uh bushed 253 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: in the Russian the dossier on Trumps her. She's her 254 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: own disinformation bureau. Yeah, she is here. She is. She's 255 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: got this job to judge what disinformation is. It's ridiculous. 256 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Kenny wanted to know what was the hiring criteria picking 257 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: this woman. Yeah, all right, well, why why don't we 258 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: play the clip here and see what the criteria was? 259 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: I am in all you know, this is Kennedy of 260 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: miss Jankowitz. I have watched her with slack jawed astonishment. 261 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: Who picked her? Senator, the Senator Kennedy, it's nice to 262 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: see you as well. The Department of Fun in Security 263 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: selected miss jenk which who at the Department um, Senator, 264 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: we don't discuss our hiring our internal hiring processes. But 265 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: I am the Secretary of Homeland Security and ultimately I 266 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: am responsible when you when the department picked her, did 267 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: did it know that she had said that mister Hunter 268 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation? I'm senator. Let me let 269 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: me repeat myself and add one other fact. I was 270 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: not aware of that. We do not discuss the internal 271 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: hiring process. Ultimately, it's a secretary, I'm responsible for the 272 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: decisions of the Department of Homeland secret said when when 273 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: the department picked miss jenk which did it know that 274 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: she had vouched for the veracity of the Steel dossier? Senator, 275 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: let me repeat myself and at an additional factum one, 276 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: we do not discuss internal hiring processes. Two, I was 277 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: not aware of that. Fact three. As a Secretary of 278 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: Homeland Security, I am responsible for the decisions of the 279 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: department and for it is my understanding that Miss Janko, 280 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: which is a subject matter expert in the field in 281 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: which she will be working on, behalf of the department. 282 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: Yeah can too. So here's a woman that's responsible for 283 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: figure out what's fake news, and she believed in two 284 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: of the biggest fake news stories of the last several years, 285 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: So what's what's the purpose of this? And he doesn't 286 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: know what's going on, or he pretends he doesn't know 287 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: what's going on. He just wor the Fifth Amendments. Yeah, 288 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: he just keep repeating my answers all all that was 289 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: missing on the advice of my counsel. I have been 290 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: advised exactly right to just hiring policies are a private 291 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: We do not disclose. I'm ultimately responsible. Next question, they're 292 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: all government workers, they're all working for us, right, they're 293 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: working off the taxpayer. Why can't they discuss this publicly? 294 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: She's a complete LOONI bag what Yes, this is what 295 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: makes me crazy. Nobody's name has ever revealed. When you 296 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: have all these crazy stories and scandals, we never find 297 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: out who the government idiot was that perpetrated this. We 298 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: don't disclose that. But I don't know. Shouldn't that be 299 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: a little more public? You are a public agency? Yes, 300 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: what do you mean you're hiring decisions, especially when you've 301 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: got something crazy like a disinformation board. The thing is 302 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: the media could find out if it wanted to, but 303 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: nobody tries. Of course they could find out who did 304 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: the hiring, but we know the truth. They picked her 305 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: exactly because she believes in all this left wing progressive 306 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: and what is your nonsense? What is she going to do? 307 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: What is the purpose of the job, What is the 308 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: purpose of the department. That's what it was asking, he said. 309 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: Originally he kept it very small. He said, Oh, they're 310 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: just going to try to make sure that smugglers don't 311 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: give the wrong information to potential migrants right to try 312 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: to entice him to come to America. So we're gonna 313 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: try to monitor that. Is that what she was singing about. 314 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: Then he widened it to say, oh, foreign governments trying 315 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: to disinformation into the US, like the Russians. What are 316 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: they going to do though, because the Russians, well, ellentually 317 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to counter it with their own focused 318 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: truth campaign. I don't know what the Russians spell this 319 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: all over social media every day. I know it's a 320 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: whole industry for them. I don't run into it much, 321 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: but I'm not all over the social well, no, I 322 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: my son he's shown me the other day on his 323 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: I guess it was a Facebook feed. It actually had 324 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: a thing that's a Russian sponsored information. Facebook figured it out. Yeah, 325 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: and he was getting a regular He has no idea 326 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: what it was in his feed. It wasn't in mine. 327 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: All right, when we return, remember the panic trying to 328 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: get masks for the public and for the healthcare workers 329 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty when the pandemic was gripping the 330 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: country and of course the state of California. Well, we 331 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: got a little inside story here about one of the 332 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: mass deals which could have been a phony deal. Coming 333 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: up next, Johnny Kent Cafine, you were talking yesterday about 334 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprising if we found out the US was 335 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: helping in some meaningful way in that war for Ukraine 336 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: against Russia, like you know, beyond just sending weapons. And 337 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: it looks like New York Times as a front page 338 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: story that the US is providing intelligence that's helped the 339 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: Ukrainians kill twelve generals. Oh how about that location which 340 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: they say is in an astonishing number of generals got 341 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: has gotten wiped out, cut off the head. Yeah, so 342 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: about that. If Putin wants to declare war on us, 343 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: it's got plenty of ammunition right there. Yeah, we're good 344 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: at that. Remember we killed that without an Iranian general. 345 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: We killed in a rock a few years oh yeah, yeah, 346 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: we smoked him and drone. Yeah. Uh. Back in twenty twenty, 347 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: it was probably around this time there was panic about 348 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: getting ppe ppe personal protective equipment. That's a phrase I 349 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: never want to hear again, Pepe. Mostly about face masks, 350 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: and it was for the medical people in California as 351 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: well as the population. So you know, our governor has 352 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: he not let go of the emergency declaration yet? Has he? No? 353 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: He hasn't. No, because he declared a state of emergency, 354 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: a lot of no bid contracts were allowed. How can 355 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: we be in a state of dangerous We're still in 356 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: a state of emergency. Yes, don't you know we're in 357 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: the sixth wave of COVID right now, Sue, I missed 358 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: about four of I missed four or five. Yeah, so 359 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: so no bid contracts carte blanche on those. So one 360 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: of the deals involved a company called Blue Flame Medical LC. 361 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: It was a healthcare supply start up and the person 362 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: stuck their beak into this was the California Controller Betty Yee, 363 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: two term Democrat, who doesn't really have a role in 364 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: the contracting process, but she worked heavily behind the scenes 365 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: to help and even the Times calls him a pair 366 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: of political operatives land the deal that turned out to 367 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: be one of the state's most flawed. We eventually backed 368 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: out of the deal and the case was flagged as 369 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: a case of possible fraud, but we may never know 370 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: if it was or was not. But the estates had 371 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: to try to drag back a massive upfront payment it 372 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: made to the company, and over the course of a 373 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: week in March of twenty twenty, Betty Yee was providing 374 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: Blue Flames co founder with private advice on how to 375 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: negotiate an advanced payment and discouraged him from disclosing how 376 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: much the company would profit from the deal. These were 377 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: text messages that have been found in a lawsuit involving 378 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: the contract. So you got to ask yourself why was 379 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: she in. One of her spokespeople said, she was just 380 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: concerned that we weren't going to have enough protective equipment 381 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: and she wanted to see what she could do to 382 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: help the process. But so she gives, so she she 383 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: u Blue Flame got a downpayment four hundred and fifty 384 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: seven million dollars four hundred and fifty seven million, and 385 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: it was going to make a profit on a hundred 386 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: of one hundred and thirty four million because they were 387 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: going to charge California a twenty to thirty percent markup. 388 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: Now that sounds like a massive rip off to me, 389 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: But this is what Newsome was doing, giving out no 390 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: bid contracts to a company, by the way, that didn't exist. 391 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: It was took advantage of the pandemic. Honestly, it was 392 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: an immediate startup. It's like the day before they signed 393 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: the deal, it was not even registered as a company, 394 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: so that you know, they filled up the paperwork, let's say, 395 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: on on Monday. On a Tuesday, they're getting a six 396 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract, and and and then they're getting 397 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty seven million dollars and they never 398 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: had any masks. So what's weird about this story is 399 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: it's all tangled up in lawsuits. Now Blue Flame has 400 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: filed a suit against its own company, its own bank, 401 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, its own bank called chain Bridge, for triggering 402 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: this fraud concern that that bank then sued JP Morgan Chase, 403 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: which was California's bank in this case, and JP Morgan 404 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: now has sued the state to recover the costs that 405 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: they put out there and untangling the deal, which really 406 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: didn't last very long, but it is. John mentioned we 407 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: gave a huge upfront payment which we had to claw back. 408 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: So says here that, well, we don't know whether or 409 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: not they were actually going to be able to provide 410 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: the masks. It's not clear they did not at the 411 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: time they made the deal, they didn't have the masks 412 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: right right. So Ye wrote to one of the founders, 413 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: I will see to it that the wire happens first 414 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: thing in the morning. I mean, she was really shepherding 415 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: this along, which is kind of bizarre. I mostly think 416 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: she has an interest in this that she had at 417 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: it's a stake in it. I don't really, but again 418 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: her spokeshol is saying no, no, no, you know, she's 419 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: just a state official who's trying to deal with help 420 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: deal with this emergency by making sure that the state 421 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: got all the masks it needed. Well, she also helped 422 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: one of the founders, John Thomas, how to word the 423 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: request to the Newsome administration to get the four hundred 424 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: and fifty seven million in advance, telling him to do 425 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: so without invoking my name. So she's providing this advice 426 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: and she's not supposed to be doing it, so don't 427 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: mention my name. And four days after Ye suggested a 428 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: cash advance, the state wired four hundred and fifty seven 429 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: million dollars to Blue Flames Bank. We got it, three 430 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: exclamation points, thank you exclamation points Toomics, texted back to Lee, Yeah, 431 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: I bet there was four exclamation points. Can you imagine 432 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: getting a deposit of fourage or fifty seven million dollars 433 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: and you don't even have a mask to sell. So, 434 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: in a series of text messages in March for twenty twenty, 435 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: went out of her way to advocate for the company, 436 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: this is Blue Flame, and Thomas told her that he 437 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: had one hundred million and ninety five masks at the 438 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: port of Long Beach. We could move to you guys today. 439 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: Hours later he said, we've almost sold all of this 440 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: first shipment. He could get one hundred million masks maybe 441 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: next week. But he later admitted in a deposition that 442 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: they didn't actually sell all those masks. No, he didn't 443 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: have him. He thought he was going to get him. 444 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: He was trying to do that thing where he got 445 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: to act now because there's other buyers, and he was 446 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: trying to get a supplier and he couldn't get a supplier. 447 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: But he did admit that Blue Flame did not sell 448 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: any of the hundred million masks he claimed to have 449 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: at the port, right, despite what he told that he 450 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: was a sales Yeah, it was an imaginary cargo ship 451 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: of masks. And he got into the car dealing to 452 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: tell you don't get this car. Someone else will come 453 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: in here and take it. You got to do something 454 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: right now. Except this is our tax money, and it 455 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: was a fake emergency. And Betty sticking her beak to 456 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: try to help facilitate this for what reason. This is 457 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: where you start wondering, well, what's in it for her? 458 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: Why was she so interested in making sure that John 459 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: Roberts was getting the four hundred fifty million dollars down payment? 460 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: Why is she's so concerned about this? And so the 461 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: claim is that, well, she's the paymaster, she's not responsible 462 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: for vetting companies. By the way, if you're paying four 463 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars for something, wouldn't you want 464 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: to take a drive down to the Long Beach and 465 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: see the masks? Yeah, show me the container ship that 466 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: has all the masks. One hundred million dollars for the masks. 467 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: I want to see that. Why don't you do that? 468 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: If you're paying four hundred fifty million dollars for anything 469 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: if you were paying for these un ninety five masks 470 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: somewhere between five to twelve dollars each, which is for 471 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: something that has made for a few pennies in some 472 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: slave labor camp in Vietnam. Probably right. Well, eventually, as 473 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: we now know and we talked about, then Newsom went 474 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: ahead and made that massive deal with that Chinese electric 475 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: vehicle company byd the one that makes the electric buses 476 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: that blow up. So California is now purchased three hundred 477 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: million and ninety five respirators, and this company sold eighty 478 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: five percent of them to us. This is incompetence and corruption, 479 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: that's what this is. In fact, there's a quote here 480 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: from some professor who says, no bid contracts are subject 481 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: to all kinds of problems. They're subject to foolish things. 482 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: You have to wonder how many things we don't know about? Yeah, 483 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: you wonder how many of these deals we don't know about? 484 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: Good point, professor. All Right, we got more coming up. 485 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: John and Ken show Cafi in the news tonight. A 486 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: couple of things. Putin has said no to the pope 487 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: who wanted to come to Russia and help work out 488 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: a peace agreement. No, they don't want Pope. It looks like, yeah, pope, 489 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: some people Wow, a progressive activist group called Ruth sent Us. 490 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: That would be Ruth Bader Ginsburg, you get it. They're 491 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: urging protesters to go to the homes of the justices 492 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: three in Virginian, three in Maryland. Right then they'll start 493 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: firing shots or something. Right, this is going to get 494 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: ugly over abortion. Really, they listed the street names where 495 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: each justice supposedly lives with their families for justices that 496 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: are allegedly five, We're not sure. But over killing fetusism, 497 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: you're getting getting that aggravated. It's interesting. Oh, and they 498 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: really believe the slippery slope is happening here. They think 499 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: this is just the first of many decisions that's going 500 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: to come down. Really, they believe that based on what's 501 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: their legal reasoning, because they can because they've waited, especially 502 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: some of the newer justices to get on this court 503 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: to do this kind of thing. Right, but especially the 504 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: three example points. Except they have solid legal reasoning. There's 505 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: no right to abortion in the constitution. What else do 506 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: you need to know? There's no right to a lot 507 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: of things in the com exactly. And so if there 508 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: are no rights to it, then there are no rights 509 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: to it, which means you've got to pass laws that 510 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: give you the rights or a constitutional amendment. That's what 511 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: you do. I don't then go vote and if they 512 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: get control of Congress, big control of Congress in November, 513 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: they can do that, right that they take the Senate, 514 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: clearly right, you got to get sixty gotta get sixty plus, 515 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: and you gotta get the majority of the House, and 516 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: then you could start writing all the laws you want. Yeah, 517 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 1: I heard. Even Biden is not No, he's not big 518 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: on the idea of not going to side the filibuster 519 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: rule even for this. So no, no, because because you've 520 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: got to have that when the other side takes that's 521 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: right that they're gonna want that next January, after the 522 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: Republicans take control, they're gonna want the filibuster and all 523 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: these blowhard, phony Bologney pieces of crap are going to 524 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: be defending and using the filibuster. They're just fakes, phonies 525 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: and rods, every one of them. The other story connected 526 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: to this making some news tonight is that people think 527 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: you should boycott Mother's Day over this. So there you 528 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: go by, Oh, you don't go to restaurant, you don't 529 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: participate to you, you just you're not gonna take your 530 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: mother out to mother's day dinner. Be No mother should 531 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: be the one to say I don't want to participate 532 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: in this, right because she didn't. She didn't abort you. 533 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: I does that work? Mom? You should have aborted me. 534 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: You didn't abort for not aborting me. Yeah, I'm not 535 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: taking you to dinner? Sorry? The hell is that that? 536 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: This is just the beginning of this. I don't know 537 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be quite a right, really clearly. Uh, Conway, 538 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: and now, my mom was a big anti abortion woman. However, 539 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: she said on probably one hundred k and one hundred 540 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: times that I can remember, I wish I never had 541 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: any of you.
