We gotta pay for that, 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: all right. Now, we move over to vagrant town, and 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: one of our favorite places to talk about vagrants is 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: the Bay Area, namely San Francisco. But there's problems in 47 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: Oakland and other parts of the Bay Area. So we 48 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: have an investigation that's been launched by the San Francisco 49 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: City Attorney, David Chew. Apparently there is video obtained by 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: ABC seven in the Bay Area showing a San Rafel 51 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: police officer dropping off a homeless man onto the streets 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: of San Francisco. Oh no. A San Francisco resident took 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: the footage. The officer leaves the man in a residential neighborhood. 54 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: It gets better. After the police officer left, the man 55 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: proceeded to light an object on fire and started throwing rocks. 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: And that's what neighbors called SFPD to come and maybe 57 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: take control of this situation. Well, four days later they came. 58 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, it's into San Francisco, a sanctuary city for 59 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: homeless people. That's what I thought, what's wrong? And you 60 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: know this goes on everywhere. We've talked about this for years. 61 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: It's one of the unspoken rules. If you don't see 62 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: homeless people in some areas, that's because they bust them out, right, 63 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: They coached them out. They whatever word you want to use, 64 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: They counsel them out. They put them in the back 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: of the police car. And this is the term they 66 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: used to use in my accounting firm when we got 67 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: word that there was some layoffs comers were during one 68 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: of the recession periods, and there was one guy in 69 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: charge of that, and oh, you don't want to get 70 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: a message. He wants to see you're gonna get counseled out. 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: Counsel Why why don't companies want to use the word yeah, 72 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: why didn't they come up with They didn't even want 73 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: to use it. Then they want to say fire, just counseled, 74 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: counseled out. Yeah, what is with all the youth kind 75 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: of like the belief you'll just be told that maybe 76 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: your prospects are better elsewhere. Yeah, maybe your skill set, 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: maybe you stake at your job, maybe you're no good. 78 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: Let's see, Um, there's there's at least as of twenty twenty, 79 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: nineteen thousand homeless people in San Francisco. So they add 80 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: nineteen thousand, so they add one more from this police car. 81 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: And it's an outrage and and and this is this 82 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: is a television news story. Now they have what nineteen 83 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: thousand and one. Yeah, in fact, they put out they're 84 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: homeless count in San Francisco and it is supposed to 85 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: pass twenty thousand people. But I'm looking at one of 86 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: the charts in this report. And of course they love 87 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: to say this. We estimate four households become homeless for 88 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: every one household housed. We just can't it's that usual. 89 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: We can't keep up. What do you mean they become homeless. 90 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: Most of these people are from from out of state 91 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: or out of the city. Most of them in Los 92 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: Angeles are They're from all over the country. They're they're 93 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: opioid and meth addicts from Kentucky and Texas, in Tennessee, 94 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: in Illinois. These are everybody's loser kids who've been thrown 95 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: out of the house. The drug addict bum son that 96 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: the parents finally kick out because he stole and sold 97 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: all of his mom's jewelry. That's what is the real world, 98 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: that's what really goes on. The San Francisco City attorney said, 99 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: it's disturbing that another jurisdiction would drop off someone experiencing 100 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: homelessness or mental health challenges, but in the middle of 101 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: a residential neghborhood with no resources around. There are cities 102 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: all over the country who put their homeless on buses 103 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: headed for La Oh, I'm sure they do. That's what 104 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: Greyhound is foreign in. It's just not reported. No normal 105 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: person takes a Greyhound bus. It's it's a it's a 106 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: national transit system for the homeless and the insane. So 107 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: the Santra Fell Police Department responded. Lieutenant Scott Eberley told 108 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: Channel seven in the Bay Area that the officer brought 109 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: the man to San Francisco because he threatened a security 110 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: guard at a mall and he allegedly told the officer 111 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: that's where I want to go. So you see, they 112 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: just acted as a taxi service. That's where he wanted 113 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: to go. That's where he wanted to go, So all 114 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: they did is give him a ride. Why is that 115 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: so terrible? Nevertheless, though the city of Santra Fell is 116 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: apologizing to the City of San Francisco and to the 117 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: residents of the neighborhood of the city is apologizing to 118 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: another city. We do not have a policy to take 119 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: people to other jurisdictions or leave them without any notification 120 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: or approved well feeling. It's an unwritten right. It's what 121 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: you said before. Any town that doesn't seem to have 122 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: homeless means they have a distribution system. And you know what, 123 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: because the response is, well, they have the homeless industrial 124 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: complex there. That's why a lot of people remember years 125 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: ago they were dropping them off on skid rolling downs way, 126 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: because they say, you have the infrastructure there, you have 127 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: a mission and all of those the organizations. Because if 128 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: you're a town without homeless, then you're not You're not 129 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: gonna have any agencies. What are you gonna waste money on. 130 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: You don't have customers right right, So if you find 131 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: one guy, take them somewhere where there are services. I 132 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: am just appalled and a ghast. Can you imagine somebody 133 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: brought out homeless person to San Francisco. Now there's nineteen 134 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: thousand and one homeless people. I mean, honestly, what do 135 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: you really think Beverly Hills does? I mean, I have 136 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: no proof of this, but remember that we covered the 137 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: story a couple of years ago. They had to like 138 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: these ambassadors who would walk around. They're counseled out. They 139 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: I would imagine that they're told, you know, if you 140 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: need services, we can take you there, and there's gotta 141 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: be a way because they don't have this problem. And 142 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: they're right in the middle of La. Well, if you 143 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: if you go up, you know, several times a day 144 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: to the same guy, eventually he's gonna get sick of 145 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: it and he's gonna he's gonna say, fine, put me 146 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: in a car. Fine, I'll go, I'll go to lake 147 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: take me away. I can't. I don't want to see 148 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: you again. All right, we got more a cup of 149 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: up John and can cafe. I all right. So what's 150 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: your what's your prediction here with this jury? How many 151 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: millions do you think they'll award? Let's have a guess too. 152 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: Now again, the plaintiffs for Vanessa Bryant are asking the 153 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: jury to give forty million to her and to this 154 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: man Chris Chester, who lost his wife and daughter thirty million, 155 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: because he's a little older than Vanessa. I guess as 156 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: some of it has to do with life expectancy. Well, 157 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: but this was seventy to seventy five million, is what 158 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: he's asking, right, But it's a formula entirely made up 159 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: by the lawyer that they should get a bill. They 160 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: have to give them some guidelines, right, Oh yeah, but 161 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: they are arbitrary. God, no, the arbitrary guidelines. Don't. I 162 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: don't know how you put a price on this kind 163 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: of feeling. It's a feeling of distress because you anticipate 164 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: that the photos someday might be released online. Right, And 165 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's anic anxiety. And Vanessa Bryant's 166 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: probably worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I don't know what. Yeah, 167 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: somebody said an email claiming she is worth hundreds of 168 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: millions of dollars. Well, because yeah, it's probably true. Because 169 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: Kobe was paid hundreds of millions of dollars between his 170 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: salary and endorsements. It's tremendous money. So I don't I 171 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: don't know. See, this is what I don't understand. The 172 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: money's not going to change your life. The money is 173 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: obviously not going to bring him and his daughter back. 174 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: The money is supposed to what punished the county. Well, 175 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: you're punishing the taxpayers. And the taxpayers we're getting punished 176 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: every day by a thousand things that we're not responsible for. 177 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: So I mean, the sheriff's deputies can get punished by 178 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: the department. They can be fired or disciplined, right, so 179 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: I could see doing that. That would be legitimate. And 180 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: that's I don't even know what what's happened there. These 181 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: guys still employed. But and they should. They're gonna say 182 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: this untill the until I drop dead. They should be 183 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: financially liable for any if there's any distress to be made, 184 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: but by not the public, for God's sakes. No, we 185 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: know your viewpoint. I was just asking for a prediction. 186 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go big. It's it's gonna go big. 187 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go at least fifty million. It's 188 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: so arbitrary though, which of course, can be knocked down 189 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: by a judge or knocked down an appeal. It's not given. Yeah, 190 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: I would, I would give her the verdict, but you know, 191 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: occasionally give her a dollar if you give her a 192 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: dollar or or I mean, I mean, I don't I 193 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: don't understand. I don't understand punishing the acts pair they're 194 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: gonna get every dime. No, but oh, I know how, 195 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: I know how how the people end up in juries. 196 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: I know what they do. I mean, but it's not 197 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: because they're reasoning this through a real moral ethical lens. 198 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: They they I don't know who they think they're punishing. Well, 199 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, in fact, you know, I never see an 200 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: interview with a juror who explains who they think they're 201 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: punishing when they civil cases. Yeah, you know, Plus I 202 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: guess a lot of this might be covered by insurance. 203 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I was a good question. You're 204 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: writ that either, Yeah, so, but that should be explained. 205 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: You know. Of course that drives up insurance premiums, and 206 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, we got to pay the law, the law 207 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: bills and all that. But the responsibilities entirely with those 208 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: sheriffs or fire employees entirely with them. As if you're 209 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: just tuning in there, Apparently the jury has reached the 210 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 1: verdict Vanessa Ryant and the husband of a woman and 211 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: a daughter that was killed in the helicopter crash. So 212 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: we're waiting to have that jury read that verdict and 213 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: we'll bring you the results. It's a civil case again, 214 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: so it's not guilty or innocents, but it we'd be 215 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: liable or not liable or something like that, and then 216 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: of course the monetary award associated with that. So as 217 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: soon as that happens, we'll bring up to date on that. 218 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: We were just talking about the vagrant story out of 219 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Now we take it to Riverside County, where 220 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: I can't imagine ever wanting to do this job again 221 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: if this happened to me. Apparently, at a Food for Less, 222 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: a vagrant came in, apparently put his grocery cart full 223 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: of items, would not pay for them, tried to exit. 224 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: The store manager confronted him and got dabs with lighter fluid. 225 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: The homeless guy then pulled out a lighter and tried 226 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: to set the store door manage with the grocery store 227 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: on fire. Geez, why this is Raoul Bautista is the 228 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: homeless guy's name. He just entered the plea of not guilty, 229 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: one count of attempted murder, one count of robbery. But 230 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: people who live in the area said it's just getting 231 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: uglier and uglier and worse and worse, and some of 232 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: the homeless people are just getting more and more violent 233 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: now they're actually trying to set people on fire. Yeah, well, 234 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: I remember the homeless woman who set seventy year old 235 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: on fire on one of the Metro trains. On the train, right, Yeah, 236 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: so I've seen that video. They're covering it up now, 237 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: Uh well, the amount, I mean, it's probably a meth addict, 238 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: and meth addicts act the most violent and unpredictable and 239 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: most extreme. And they had lighter fluid. They already grabbed 240 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: it from the store. Maybe he put it in his 241 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: basket and just had it handy. It's like, wow, we're 242 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: walking around now with lighter fluid, dose people and set 243 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: them on fire at a moment's notice, you know. And 244 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: this is why you often see employees not bothering these 245 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: homeless people, because they don't want to get stabbed in 246 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: the chest. They don't want to get doused with lighter 247 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: fluid for a basket of groceries. I wouldn't, no, right, 248 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: So they roll out the basket of groceries without it, 249 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: without many resistance. And there is no desire on the 250 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: part of the silly asses that run our cities and 251 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: counties to put a guy like this in a mental 252 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: hospital for the rest of his life. There's there's no 253 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: impulse whatsoever. They actually can can set people on fire, 254 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: and that doesn't change any of the policies, and nobody 255 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: forces the politicians, the jackasses who run this place connected 256 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: to this. We mentioned that up in Sacramento. They only 257 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: have a week of the legislative session left, so they're 258 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: pushing all these bills through. And I can't believe I'm 259 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: reading this. Senate Bill two sixty two is zero bail. 260 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: Good Lord, that's back again. But that never they're bringing 261 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: it back. That was the last zero bail bill was 262 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: overturned by an initial ballot measure. Right, how does this 263 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: will know they write something that supposed he gets arounded, 264 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: or do we have to keep putting stuff on the 265 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: ballot to overturn the what did zero bill? We found 266 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: out yesterday the Yellow County DA said they re arrested 267 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty of the five hundred ninety five 268 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: people who got released without bail in a one year period. 269 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: This is the biggest, most dangerous disaster, most dangerous failure 270 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: that anybody's ever come up with. And the and the 271 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: whack job progressives in Sacramento that we send to Sacramento, 272 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: we're responsible for these people. They keep pushing no bail. 273 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: Did you see the case in the Bronx a couple 274 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. There's video of this. There's a man 275 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: standing in front of a restaurant. Well, we talked about this, right, right, 276 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: he punched the other guy yet, right, And then the 277 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: second guy comes up and and and and gives him 278 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: a fist to the face, knocks him out into a 279 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: colona coma fractured skull. And the guy who did the 280 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: punch got released on no bail. He got released on 281 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: no bail. And then the Governor of New York, Kathy Hokel, 282 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: stepped in and overrode the Bronx District attorney and said, no, no, 283 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: he has to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she actually uh 284 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: made a public announcement. She's kind of a progressive. Yeah, 285 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: but she's running for reelection. And that's the one that 286 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: just signed the bill where you can't call him felons anymore. 287 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: She's she's a she's a thousand carrot idiot. I mean, 288 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: she's a complete fool. But you know, she's running for reelection. 289 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: And the tabloids in New York are running this story, 290 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: and the local stations are running the video. I mean, 291 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: it's such a clear brutal punch. There's no questioning he 292 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: did it, no questioning who did it, and did he 293 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: get out of no bail. It was attempted murder, I mean, 294 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: fractured the guy's skull because he hit his head on 295 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: the sidewalk. You know, even she had to do something 296 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 1: to save her own skin. And that's the thing. They 297 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: have to be terrified that they're gonna get thrown out 298 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: of office. If they're not terrified of that, they're gonna there. 299 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: They are going to let everybody out and they'll never 300 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: put anybody in again. All Right, we got more coming 301 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: up Johnny Ken Show. If I thought the verdict's coming 302 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: down probably before we finished the show, we gotta okay 303 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: repeat the alright, so fed old jury has found at 304 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: La County has to pay Vanessa Bryant sixteen million dollars. 305 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: Sixteen million. That's just to her. Well, how much to 306 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: the other family? Was it? The Chester family? Yes, Chris 307 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: Chester sixteen million, lost his fifteen because, yeah, fifteen million, 308 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: So that's thirty one million dollars total. Holy moley. Well 309 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: it's well short of the seventy five million they asked for. Yeah, 310 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: but that that was a crazy number. That's what attorneys do. 311 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: Ye asks are a crazy number, and then it pushes 312 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: the jurors judgment upwards. I mean, that's basic negotiating tactics. 313 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Although you know, jurors really usually so stupid that I'm 314 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: surprised they didn't go for the whole seventy five and 315 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: then add add fifty more on top of it. I 316 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: don't know. I bet you they don't. They never talked 317 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: to jurors. I want to hear when juror explain why 318 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: taxpayers have to pay for this too, is that the 319 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: damage hasn't really been done yet. She's very anxious over 320 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: the pictures being more publicly disseminated. Oh, that hasn't happened. 321 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: That's another point I forgot. She gets this money. It does. 322 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: He's getting the money because she's anxious over the possible 323 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: ability that's going to happen in her lifetime, right, But 324 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't doesn't diminish her anxiety like nothing correct. She 325 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: doesn't need the money. It doesn't reverse the tragedy. It 326 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: doesn't diminish her anxiety. It doesn't prevent it from being 327 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: leaked if other people outside the department have it like 328 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: the people in the department allegedly deleted it from their phones, 329 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: but you can't trust or believe that. In fact, I 330 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: read one day that there was there was one firefighter 331 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: they've never identified, apparently was air dropped a bunch of photos. 332 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: So maybe yeah, they did say that, right, you know, 333 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: And and all these people could have sent it out 334 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: to Everybody's focusing on the exchange of photos that we're 335 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: aware of, but there gonna be plenty of exchanges that 336 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: we're not aware of. But my point is is that 337 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: giving her all that money doesn't stop that from happening. 338 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: If the photos are out there somewhere, her getting the 339 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: money isn't going to stop it. It's not going to 340 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: relieve her anxiety. It's not I could reverse the tragedy. 341 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: It just costs a lot of people who had nothing 342 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: to do with this a lot of money. And I 343 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: just find that to be just monumentally unfair, just a 344 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: ridiculous system to settle these kind of issues. And then 345 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: and then you have people I don't know who these 346 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: jurors are, but you know they're they're often they're people 347 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: who don't make much money themselves and don't even have 348 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: a concept really, what sixteen million dollars is. It's just 349 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: play money. It's just some abstract number. And then they 350 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: get in charge of this, I don't I mean, I 351 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: come up come up with a more idiotic system. I'd 352 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: love to hear it. It's just outrageous. And it doesn't 353 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't assign the plane where it belongs. There's another 354 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: example of the responsibility belongs entirely with those sheriff's deputies, 355 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: or there's fire those firefighters who whoever did this, that 356 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: it's one hundred percent their responsibility. Nobody else, not their supervisors, 357 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: not the county, not the not the not anything, not 358 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: the insurance company, not the taxpayers. Just them. They should 359 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: be They should account and atone for this personally to 360 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: the families. It's their sin that they committed. It's amazing 361 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: it didn't end up on some of those disgusting websites. 362 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to show the most horrendous photos and the 363 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: ones ray look at usually Yeah, well, I mean that's 364 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: you know, that's the crux of this is that the 365 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: families don't know when that's going to happen. It was 366 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: nine jurors and it was a unanimous verdict, So you 367 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: don't have to have that in a civil trial. But 368 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: it was all nine agreed on the culpability of the 369 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: county and also the amount. It doesn't make it right. 370 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: It just means you have all nine people who bought 371 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: into this same fallacy that entities or people other than 372 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: the ones who commit the offense are responsible, which and 373 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: that's like endemic in the culture now. It's like everybody, 374 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: everybody finds somebody else to blame, but the people who 375 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: commit the offense. We do not know yet if the 376 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: county is appealing this decision, obviously this news just came out, 377 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: and whether or not the judge will do anything, because 378 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: sometimes judges reduce awards that they considered to be too large. 379 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: But as we said, thirty one million is probably almost 380 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: halfway between with zero and the seventy five million. The 381 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: attorney for Vanessa Bryant was giving the jury as a 382 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: guideline in coming up with an amount. So that's the decision. 383 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: A civil jury in a federal case as awarded Vanessa 384 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: Bryant sixteen million dollars and Chris Chester fifteen million dollars, 385 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: a total of thirty one million. It's a lawsuit against 386 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: the LA County sheriffs and fire departments in a county 387 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: itself because of the crash scene photos that were displayed 388 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: by some of the first responders after that event in 389 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: early twenty twenty. All right, we got more coming up, 390 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: John and Ken Caffine. All right, we'll have more on 391 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: the announcement that the jury in the federal civil case 392 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: against the County of Los Angeles the pull a Sheriff's 393 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: department of the fire department over the crash scene photos 394 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: of the helicopter that went down, Kobe Bryant and his 395 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: daughter aboard, and several other people. The decision was thirty 396 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: one million will be awarded to the two plaintiffs in 397 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: this case, who were Vanessa Bryant and demand by the 398 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: name of Chris Chester, whose wife and daughter died. So yes, 399 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: we'll be the full of Rundown, LA County taxpayers. It's 400 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: your fault. It's as if you sent the pictures around. 401 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: I think the other day we were talking on the 402 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: show about killing insects, and Deborah Mark has a real 403 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: aversion to doing that. We now have a very important 404 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: national story with huge environmental implications, so big that government 405 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: officials are telling you to go out there and wish 406 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: squash annihilate the lantern fly. Now, the lantern fly is 407 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: not a big deal here yet, but they think it 408 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: will eventually get to California. It is from China, and 409 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: it is a plant destroyer. It first showed up in 410 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania in twenty fourteen. It is now found in at 411 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: least eleven states, including New York, and in particular danger 412 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: are the grape harvests and the fruit trees. And they 413 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: think if it gets to California, you can say goodbye 414 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: to Napa. Oh my goodness. Well then we have to 415 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: kill these, don't we. That is the campaign. In fact, 416 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: even Chuck Schumer, top Democrat in the US Senate from 417 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: New York, wants you to get out there and kill them. 418 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: He actually did a news conference where he held up 419 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: a picture of the spotted lantern fly like a wanted poster. 420 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: I heard an exasperated sigh. Yeah. Well, the story that 421 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: we're reading in the New York Times is about vegans 422 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: who object to this, specifically says vegans. Jody Smith, a 423 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: software developer, so far, has declined to participate in killing 424 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: the lantern fly. He's vegan, although he says he's not 425 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: an absolutist. He will exterminate cockroaches as an apartment. Yeah. 426 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't like those. Oh yeah, I don't like them. 427 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: Oh so, so some creatures don't get to live because 428 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: Deborah doesn't like I didn't say I'm going to kill them. 429 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: She's got a hierarchy above. You'll you'll hire somebody to 430 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: poison them, gass them. Have you seen the picture of 431 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: the lantern fly mark? I'm gonna look at it like 432 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: it's got coloring on its wings. I don't think it's 433 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: particularly attractive, but some people think it is. I don't 434 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: care what it looks like. It's gonna cute. Actually it'll 435 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: kill the line industry. Okay, but no, you kill it. 436 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: We can't have that. I have no problem to be 437 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: out there with the swater moscatto is gone. Oh no, okay, 438 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: let me change. Why can't we look at alternatives here? Okay, 439 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: what would that be? I don't know. May locate them, 440 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: like to blow it out to let's relocate the lantern flies. 441 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: That can't do that. I just I don't like draw 442 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: that out for us. Guy ahead, this is a destructive species, 443 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: going to wipe out much vegetation that you live off of. 444 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: I understand that. I just think that in so many 445 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: cases these stories that we do, there is an alternate plan. 446 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: We don't have to kill animals and insects. I just what. 447 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: We just threw this at me right now. So I 448 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: haven't had times of very good depth New York Times story. 449 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody I Peter got involved. The group 450 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: did not advise people to well. It did advise people 451 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: to carefully consider the actions if it involves killing any 452 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: living thing, no matter how small or unfamiliar. Any issue 453 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: involving animals and nature needs to be carefully examined to 454 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: ensure that any drastic action taken has chosen because it 455 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: is the least harmful one that will not ultimately cause 456 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: more harm than good. Here is an argument against lantern flies. 457 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: Some vineyards in southeast Pennsylvania have lost ninety percent of 458 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: their crops. That's terrible. I'm not saying it's not. I'm 459 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: just saying that I think before we do something so rash, 460 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: that we should explore some alternatives. I think if you 461 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: want to hear what Anne Johnson says, yes, yes, Johnson 462 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: is whoever, I don't care. I'm students. She is right, 463 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: She's in the Department of Entomology at Penn State. She 464 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: studies lantern flies, all right, so this is part of 465 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: her livelihood. She recommends traps or scraping off the grayish 466 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: masses of eggs that they lay on surfaces. So basically 467 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: what she's saying is you get rid of their reproductive well, 468 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: and how do you scrape off all the eggs they laid? Boy, 469 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: that's a you have to. That's the one that's landed 470 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: and noticed that they dropped their eggs. There's probably there's 471 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: probably millions of eggs. You'd have to scream, okay, destroying 472 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: the eggs? Well, no, I think that again, Look at 473 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: you're putting me on the spot. I need to do 474 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: more research, and if there's nothing else that we can do, 475 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: then maybe I'll change my mind. Some vineyards in southeast 476 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania have lost nine percent of their crops to the 477 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: insects swater meat egg I'm not saying that that will 478 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: have to be done. I'm just saying that I think 479 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: that we need to do further research. Eric is much 480 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: more decisive than you are. Oh I know, yeah, he 481 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: picks society goes with it. I'm the designated bug killer 482 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: in my house my entire life. My sister hates them. 483 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: So it's like I gotta I gotta be the one 484 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: to do the job. So he got no problem, yeah 485 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: with wiping him out. Uh. They've been organizing because people 486 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: are really getting into this in New York. Uh pub 487 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: crawls where people go from bar to bar and in between. 488 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: They squashed the lantern flies. They see they're in New York. 489 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: They are. That's why Chuck Schumer had a news conference 490 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: in Central Park. He wants federal funds to fight the 491 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: scourge of the way. They found one on Staten Island 492 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. That was the first one they spotted. 493 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: Since then, they have proliferated around New York Central Park. 494 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: Even Long Long Island's wineries are getting hit Upstate farms 495 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: are at risk. Oh you're stackast in in uh Staten 496 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: Island at a park reserve, they hosted a squish athon. Yeah, 497 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: you go around and stomp him out. I mean that 498 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: just seems really cruel. I mean, seriously, think about that 499 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: for a second, and I think, you know, to be 500 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: sympathetic to debor market, a bit of people got carried 501 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: away and just squashed everything. Yeah, I was gonna say, 502 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: how I'm sure that they're going to not know exactly 503 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: what this lantern fly looks like. Kill a poor beautiful monarch. 504 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: A kuy in Pennsylvania developed an app called Squisher that 505 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: tracks how many lantern flies you kill so you can 506 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: make a game of it. You all download the app. 507 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: Let's go out up. Yes, that sounds like a good 508 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: video game at the end. Yeah, no, I think that. No, 509 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: that that's that's me. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has a 510 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: hotline to report lantern flies. And I'm not making this up. 511 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: It's eight eight eight for bad fly. There you go 512 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: for bad fly, and their slogan is kill it, squash it, 513 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: smash it, just get rid of it. Wow, they're they're hostile. 514 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: If you have a misgiving about killing the lantern fly 515 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: in New York State, they're just encouraging you to report 516 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: them and then look away. Okay, so the lantern fly 517 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: squishers come after you. I just spotted one hundred of 518 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: them in the park here. Then run Schumer actually held 519 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: up a picture of a lantern fly like a wanted poster. 520 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: He did, Yes, right, You're not gonna be last when 521 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: it comes to California.

It would be the grapes. Yeah, that's 524 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to see that. Okay, I'm still going 525 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: to food crops. I'm gonna I'm standing by what I said. 526 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: I think we should, we should come back to this, 527 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: let's review, let's do some revisit, revisit.
