Speaker 2: the Fury Dance. I didn't even hear what you were saying.

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: I couldn't even hear what I was saying. Yeah, it

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: was so loud.

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know what was going on.

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: I was telling you to Brans and.

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: You did a good job.

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: I have to listen to a tape. I haven't done

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: that yet.

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 1: I live.

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: There.

29
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: You go. That should be your ringtone. That's that'd be great.

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Royal Oaks, ABC News legal analyst.

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: You know, probably about the Venezuelan drug boats, the cocaine boats.

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: Ships really that been uh exploded by the Trump administration

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: and the Secretary of War Pete hegsas. Uh. It looks

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: maybe like a fisherman's boat got caught up, and the

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: family of a Colombian fisherman, uh, they are complaining to

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: the Inter American Commission on Human Rights, saying that the

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: US government illegally killed him, that they murdered him. The

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: fisherman's family is upset. Let's talk to Royal Oaks, see

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: what this is all about.

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Royal Yeah, John, In the context of courses, in the last

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: couple of months, been a lot of these attacks. Eighty

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: three people have died from twenty one strikes on vessels

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: in the last couple of months, and you know, people

44
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: are saying, you know, the government's out of control, but

45
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: in this case, the one that you mentioned. It has

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: to do with a man named Alejandro Carnza. The family

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: says he was just a fisherman, but floating next to

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: the boat after he was killed officials on cocaine and sentinel.

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: So that suggests that maybe the boat was up to

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: some drug smugglings.

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,559
Speaker 2: Oh, he might have been a freelancer.

52
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Well, who knows. You can't necessarily assume. Maybe he was

53
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: just as fishermen, but the other guys are there. Bottom

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: line is that people are saying that Pete Heggsath running

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: the war Department Donald Trump, They're not being very careful

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: about this guilty of war crimes. There was this other

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: example you'll recall, where there was a first strike and

58
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: then a little later there was a second strike, and

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: the survivors of the first were basically dog peddling in

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: the water and they were killed. And so Pete Hegseth

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: just today at a press conference saying, hey, you know,

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: I authorized the first strike and then I'm a busy guy.

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: I went on to other things, and I'm sure the

64
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: admiral did the right thing on the second strike that

65
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. So it's getting a little messy. But

66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: bottom line is Human Rights Commission is looking into him.

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the best of your knowledge. What's the rules on this,

68
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: because obviously there's people taking political sides, and so I

69
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: don't know if they're telling the truth, if they're being accurate,

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: or they're just trying to make a point to whip

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: up their base. Right. But Canada president, on his own command,

72
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: strikes repeatedly against these Venezuelan drug boats. I have no

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: doubt that they're drug boats. What are the limitations of

74
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: this according to the law? Are there any limitations?

75
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, the President has a perfect right to do this.

76
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: First of all, there's a UN agreement that we're a

77
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: Party two that says in international waters, some countries are

78
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: allowed legally if they have reason to believe that illegal

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: stuff is going on in the boat, drugs or whatever,

80
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: they may stop it, board it and take the people

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: into custody. In addition, there's a congressional statute that says

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: essentially the same thing. So it's okay. A lot of

83
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: people think, you know, what is Trump doing? You know,

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm floating on the high seas. We do have a

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: legal right to be out on the high seas international waters.

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: And you can blow them.

87
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Question becomes, yeah, that's the problem. You can't blow them up.

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: You can't kill people who may be innocent. You can

89
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: board and if they fight back, you can fight them.

90
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: And so you know, arguably these eighty three deaths may

91
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: all be legal and justified from the twenty one strikes

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: over the last couple of months, but you know it's

93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: going to take decades to sort that out. You know,

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: you have it and throw yourself fel in the water

95
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: where the pictures blah blah blah. So and this human

96
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: rights commission that the fishermen's family went to, they are truthless.

97
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: It's for accountability and transparency, but they can't find anybody.

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: They can't incarcerate anybody if they say, oh, Donald Trump

99
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: violated somebody's human rights. So it's really just pr value. Now,

100
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: if you do something horrible and the grecious, and you're

101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: killing people that are just you know, dog paddling in

102
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: the water, then they're going to be consequences. Now, the

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: rules there are the rules limiting lawsuits against the president

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: and the federal government, so there may not be a

105
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: lot of relief, but certainly if the evidence is crystal

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: clear that there was illegal cruel, inhumane stuff going on,

107
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: then the US is going to pay a pr price

108
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: if nothing else.

109
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, you always hear people shouting about war crimes, not

110
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: only in the recognized wars, but the unrecognized wars, and

111
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: then all the side battles that we get involved with

112
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: every administration. I think Obama had like six battles going

113
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: on all at once. And you always hear shouts of

114
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: war crimes. But I can't remember anybody getting prosecuted, either

115
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: US or anybody else. It just seems it's a lot

116
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: of shouting by activists.

117
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Oh, you're right, it's just people getting up on their soapbox.

118
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: And part of it, of course, is the fact that,

119
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: as you know, although we did have a declaration of

120
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: war by Congress as we're supposed to do, and after

121
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor, we haven't had a single declersion of war since,

122
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: in spite of Korea and Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: and everything else. And so in that sense, I mean,

124
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: for example, when Trump goes out on the high seas,

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: is that really a war? Well, he might say it's

126
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: a war on drugs. I'm told the suffering inflicted on

127
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: American people because the fentanyl and song being spuggled in.

128
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: It's not really a war and so probably a war

129
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: crime situation doesn't apply to this deal.

130
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: I see. And so nobody's going to be able to

131
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: prove exactly what this fisherman was up to, whether he

132
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: was fishing to feed his family or he might have

133
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: been running a side business carrying drugs.

134
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: Right, you're going to interview everybody. You're going to look

135
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: at all the pictures and all the surveillance, You're gonna

136
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: look at the backgrounds of the people involved, and you're

137
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: going to look at the fentanol and the cocaine floating

138
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: in the water and come to a conclusion. But that's

139
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: going to take years, just like any lawsuit would, So

140
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: it's not gonna lead you.

141
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: I don't think the average person cares of Venezuelan drug

142
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: boats are getting blown up. I see there's outrage more

143
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: certain politicians, but the guy guy in the street probably

144
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: figures this is good policy.

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: Well, you're right, because we everybody in America probably either

146
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: has been touched personally or somebody in their close family

147
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: or extended family friends the scourge of you know, fence

148
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: and all overdoses and drugs in general so you're right.

149
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we were gonna feel too sorry for

150
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: fishermen who may be innocent when we know this is

151
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: just a constant Narco flow of drugs from the South

152
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: into the United States.

153
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: All right, Royal Oaks, thank you for coming on. You bet, thanks,

154
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: Royal Oaks, ABC News Legal Analyst. You know, I don't

155
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: know how dumb some of these, these these pilots are

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: who are driving the the the drug boats out Venezuela.

157
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: That after you've seen you know, I don't know ten

158
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: of them get blown up, maybe you're not going out

159
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: there anymore. Maybe it's like, you know what, I'm getting

160
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: into another line of work. This doesn't seem to be fun.

161
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, when you're the eleventh boat to

162
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: get blown up, it's hard to have much sympathy. It's like, jeez,

163
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: do you read the news. You get the news in Venezuela.

164
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: What's going on when we come back. Oh my god,

165
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: what a bunch of ninnies. The LA County supervisors they're

166
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: banning ice agents from wearing masks. They can't, they know

167
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: they can't. They do it anyway, we'll talk about it

168
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: when we come back.

169
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

170
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 5: six forty.

171
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 2: I made a mistake. Michael Monks is coming in to

172
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: talk about the LA County supervisors. Yeah, and the ice

173
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: agents wearing masks at three o'clock. So I inadvertently said

174
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: that was coming up next. It's not coming up next,

175
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: but it's coming up. No, No, we'll get to it

176
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: with Michael. I have other news that I wanted to

177
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: talk about, UH and this just this just broke at

178
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: about two o'clock. UH. Trump had UH four executives from

179
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: the major automakers in the Oval Office, and he announced

180
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: that the Transportation Department is going to significantly weaken the

181
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: fuel efficiency standards for tens of millions of new cars

182
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: and light trucks. This means that cars will become much

183
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: less expensive because they won't have all these emissions control

184
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: requirements anymore. And it's not going to get the mileage

185
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: isn't going to be as high. But you also are

186
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: aren't going to have you know, all the well, I'll

187
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: tell you what I hope disappears from cars because if

188
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: I find out if he really does this, right, I

189
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: guess it's all regulatory stuff. You know. I can't stand

190
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: on my car. The most is that automatic start stop

191
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: mechanism that when you come to a traffic light, you

192
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: come to a stop and then the engine turns off.

193
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 3: You I think that you can do something to stop that.

194
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: You can turn Yes, you can, you can turn that

195
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: mechanism off off, so the car stops turning itself off.

196
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: So why don't you do that?

197
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 2: Well, here's what bugs me and I get this a

198
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: lot with rental cars. It's like a game. Every car

199
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: model has a different way to turn it off, and

200
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: it's hard to figure out, like it might be buried

201
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: on one of the many screens on your dashboard. So

202
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 2: you have to go through all the different screens and

203
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: the different settings and find it. And you have to

204
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: do it every time you start.

205
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: Oh it doesn't just no, no, I have.

206
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: A rental right now because my car is getting is

207
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: getting fixed for something stupid. All right, there's an example.

208
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 2: I really really I keep telling this to my wife.

209
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: I am this close to going back and buying like

210
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: a nineteen seventy three Pontiac Catalina, which I had once.

211
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: I had two of them.

212
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: Actually, I've never even heard of that car.

213
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Big boat of a car got eight miles to the gallon.

214
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: But man, I could fit a lot of people in it,

215
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: and I could go on a cross country trip in

216
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: it and fill up the back seat and fill up

217
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: the trunk. I could have another family living in the thing.

218
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: I had a blue one that I bought from my dad,

219
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: and I bought I had a brown one from this

220
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: girl I knew her dad was selling it. And so

221
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: I had two of these things, which lasted me a

222
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: couple of years, because they'd only last about a year

223
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: and then they'd blow up. Nothing better than old American

224
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: cars for me. They would They would fall apart quickly.

225
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: But man, this thing was so big and it looked

226
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: so cool. I love the way cars used to look.

227
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: And all all these emissions requirements caused car designers to well,

228
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: they couldn't be creative anymore. And how they designed cars

229
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: for aerodynamic reasons in order to get more and more mileage.

230
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: The government kept dimandling more mileage, so they kept blanding

231
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: out the car design. So to me, to my eyes,

232
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: all cars look alike. To me, all the cars, I

233
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: don't care what model is. A luxury car could be

234
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: a cheap o car. Everything looks the same. And I

235
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: love the distinctiveness of cars from like really before I

236
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: was born. I loved the way fifties cars look sixties cars,

237
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: and I used to dry. I probably drove about ten

238
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: junk cars, all from the sixties and seventies. I'd buy

239
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: them from my parents or my friend's parents or whoever

240
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: my friends and I'd buy for fifty dollars or one

241
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: hundred dollars I think five hundred dollars. I would max

242
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: out at driving for a year. They'd blow up, and

243
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: then I'd get another one for And they were really

244
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 2: cool looking and not aggravating. Right you started the car,

245
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 2: the car went, nothing beeped at you. I wish I

246
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: could get rid of all the beeps and buzzers and

247
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: warnings and everything. It's like, why do you care if

248
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: I have my seatbelt on? Now I do put my

249
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: seatbelt on, but why do you have to constantly nag

250
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: me about it? Why this this car that I was renting,

251
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: And I found how to turn this thing off if

252
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: I drifted a half an inch out of the lane.

253
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, an beppepeep.

254
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: But then there was a second thing. It jerked me.

255
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: It wouldn't let me leave the lane, And at first

256
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: I thought. I thought my my wheels were coming off,

257
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: because sometimes I panic with this stuff. What is this?

258
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: I figured out how to turn that off. I figured

259
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: out how to turn the automatic start thing off. And

260
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: it's like, could you just get out of my wife?

261
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: Stop worrying about me. Just stop worrying about how much

262
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: gas I'm using, Stop worrying about if I'm drifting out

263
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: of the lane, Stop worrying about my seat belts on

264
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: and my mirrors are this, and I can't, I can't stay.

265
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: Just leave me in peace. I wish I could I

266
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: build my own car. I build my own card had

267
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: no lights, no warnings, no nothing. It would just be

268
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: like the cars I had when I was a teenager.

269
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: Just jump in and go. Sorry, it's a source spot

270
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: with me anyway. He says it would save Americans over

271
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: one hundred billion dollars over the next five years, take

272
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars off the average cost of a new car.

273
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: And he's he's he's completely dismantling all the fuel efficiency

274
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: standards that the Biden administration had piled on. And I'm

275
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: sure they'll still make cars that get fifty miles to

276
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: the gallon if you want. I'm some little tin box

277
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: matchbox car thing. Plus he got rid of the tax

278
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: credits for electric cars. Plus they got they declared it

279
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: illegal to mandate electric cars, which is what Newsom tried

280
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: to do. It's like, we're gonna be We're gonna be

281
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: normal again. We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna live in

282
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: a more national society now where people are free to

283
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: buy the car they want. They'll decide what kind of

284
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: car they want in terms of mileage. They'll decide if

285
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: they want they want to buy a gas car in

286
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: an electric car. And he's got the he's got the

287
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: leaders of the automotive companies behind him because they all

288
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: took a bath, huge amounts of red ink pushing electric

289
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: cars that most people did want, huge bill hundreds of

290
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: billions of dollars. The car company's lost on this nonsense, absolutely,

291
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: and it's all over over climate hysteria, and that age

292
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: is over now. And I'm very excited if anybody manufactures

293
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: a car that is completely warning free. You got my money,

294
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: I'll be there. I'll be first in line.

295
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: Do you feel better now?

296
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: I do. There's another issue bugging me, but maybe not today,

297
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: maybe tomorrow. I don't want to do two in a day. Yeah,

298
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: but it's the end of the plastic bags at the

299
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: grocery store.

300
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 4: Remember last pastathon, I gave you a reusable Leopard bag.

301
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

302
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: I still have that part of my Deba Mark Leopard

303
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Connection collection in my closet where the furry outfit is now.

304
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: Had I had another Deborah bag I brought in yesterday,

305
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: this with the furry outfit and that's that's now with

306
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: all the Leopard stuff.

307
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: And I'm glad that you enjoy all that.

308
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: Stuff when we come back. Here's part of the uh,

309
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: the electric car insanity weimo. You know what they've made

310
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: Waymos have been overly cautious and it's kind of driven

311
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: a lot of people crazy because they go exactly the

312
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: speed limit. Uh. Now they are rewiring the weymos to

313
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: start taking chances, and that's not necessarily working out. Tell

314
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: you about it. See, we're all in favor of humans here.

315
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: Have you been in a way.

316
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to stand. I'm not taking because

317
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: Mike Waymill will end up like take it off, end

318
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: up flying down the ten Freeway until they get to FLOORID.

319
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM

320
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 5: six forty.

321
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock. After

322
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart

323
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: app coming up after three o'clock. Michael Monks. The LA

324
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: County Supervisors, four of the five of the LA County

325
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: Supervisors are some of the dumbest people on the planet.

326
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: And they voted to ban the ICE agents from wearing

327
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: masks or are they late to that party? And they

328
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: still don't have the power to do that. It's still

329
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: not up to them. Federal government decides how federal law

330
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: enforcement dresses, but that doesn't stop an empty can like

331
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: Janis Han. We'll talk Michael Monks coming up. I'm just

332
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: telling you that the Trump administration, now it's just a

333
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: couple hours ago, that they're going to relax the fuel

334
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: standards on cars at which means you're going to eliminate

335
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: a lot of the fuel emissions technology that costs a

336
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: lot of money. I didn't realize this until going through

337
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: this story because I haven't bought a card six years. Yeah,

338
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: the average price for a car now is fifty thousand dollars.

339
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 3: So expensive. Used cars are so expensive.

340
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: I know because people can't afford to buy a real car,

341
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: I mean a new car. I have fifty thousand just

342
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: for an average car. So you know, his new regulations

343
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: are supposed to knock off one thousand dollars on the price.

344
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: It's a thousand dollars of nonsense regulating the mileage because

345
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: they thought that electric cars were going to well, they

346
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: kind of knew that electric cars weren't going to be

347
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: a big hit. Because if they thought they were going

348
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: to be a big hit, then why the mandate. The

349
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: mandate was because they know, Oh, the electric cars largely

350
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: sucked and nobody would like, nobody wants one. Unlast year,

351
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: really wealthy, and you buy a Tesla. That's what I

352
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: see on the west side, lots of teslas. I see

353
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: more teslas on the west side of La than I

354
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: see in the rest of the country combined.

355
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: And what about those cyber trucks too, Jesus, I do

356
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 4: not understand.

357
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: That at all.

358
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: I don't either, and maybe I'm supposed to because I'm

359
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: a guy and a big, strong beast of a car

360
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: so ugly. Yeah, I don't like. I don't like having

361
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: to park stuff like that, because what I do is

362
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: I end up crashing into.

363
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 3: This, well, you would not be a good candidate.

364
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: No, no, so speaking, I meant to mention this as well.

365
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: So today, for the first time since I don't know when,

366
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 2: the average price of gas, this is going to make

367
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: you sick. Average price of gas across the nation two

368
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: dollars ninety nine cents two dollars ninety nine and nine

369
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: tensive ascent to be exact. And there are now forty

370
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: four states where you can get gas for less than

371
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 2: for less than three point thirty a gallon, and there's

372
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: about twenty five states where you can get it for

373
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: less than three bucks. And you know what our price is,

374
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 2: all right, two ninety nine across the country, and in

375
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: California it's four point fifty two. The two ninety nine

376
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 2: includes California and the millions of drivers who are paying

377
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: four point fifty to five bucks a.

378
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 3: Gallon, And it's going to go up a lot.

379
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: The other thing I saw today is we have the

380
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: highest unemployment rate in the country. We're at five and

381
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: a half percent. It's a lot higher than everywhere else.

382
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: There are states in the twos and the threes when

383
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: it comes to unemployment, big states, you know, not not

384
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 2: you know North Dakota or Vermont. But stay it's like,

385
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 2: you know, Florida and Texas much lower unemployment rate. Democratic

386
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: states like New York and New Jersey lower unemployment rate.

387
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: We get the highest unemployment rate and the highest gas prices.

388
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: And I just looked up on TV and there was

389
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: another graphic on one of the cable channels about Newsom

390
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: being the lead candidate on the Democrat side for president.

391
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: It's like, am I living in an alternate universe here?

392
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: Anyway down to the waymos. The waymos were programmed to

393
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: be ultra cautious. So here's what happened. You're behind a

394
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: waymo on a residential street and it comes to a stop.

395
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: It comes to a full stop, and it sits there

396
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: for a while, and it doesn't do rolling stops. And

397
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: if you show if it shows up at the same

398
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: time as another car in the intersection, that other car

399
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 2: gets to go. And if you're stuck behind the waymo,

400
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 2: you've got to wait because it's it's like having somebody

401
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: who's ultra polite and ultra frightened. And uh, according to

402
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal, they are now reprogramming the way moos

403
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: to be more aggressive. Uh. Now, well, the story here

404
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: one woman who got stuck behind a a A. Uh

405
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: well it was a moving truck, right, They had double

406
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: parked and guys were unloading, you know, the furniture and

407
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: the boxes. But the waymo didn't know that because weymos

408
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: are stupid. So because the moving truck in front of

409
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: him wasn't moving double parked, woman is stuck behind the

410
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: moving truck. Of course she can't see around the moving

411
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 2: truck or the way moot across into oncoming traffics.

412
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: They need some kind of bypass mechanism in there.

413
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but who's who's gonna who's gonna click it? I

414
00:22:53,600 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: guess the passing. Yeah. So now they're programmed to take risks.

415
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: It says they're bending traffic laws. They're getting impatient with pedestrians.

416
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: Oh that's good. Last September, police in San Bruno, California,

417
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: pulled a Weymo over it made an illegal U turn

418
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: and they chased it. No driver. And you may have

419
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: heard in the Mission District in San Francisco, a weamo

420
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 2: hit and killed a neighborhood cat. Apparently it was a

421
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: well known cat and they set up a shrine for

422
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 2: the cat. And you know, the people are bringing flowers

423
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: and candles, and their photo was on the flyers and everything.

424
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: It's terrible, but the weymouth crushed it. Did you laugh?

425
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: No, we said crushed it.

426
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: No.

427
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 4: I thought that was just an awful way to describe it.

428
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 4: So no, you come on, I'm an animal lover.

429
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: I would not know that.

430
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 4: It was a sarcastic kind of you know, because you

431
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: say the weimo crushed it unexpected.

432
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: Okay, if it was a dog, you wouldn't have snorted that,

433
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: not as much.

434
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: I'm allergic to cats, but I still.

435
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 2: Like okay, all right. Oh here, here's a in Pacific

436
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: Heights up in San Francisco, because they had like hundreds

437
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: and hundreds of waymos up there. There was a multi lane,

438
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: four way stop and one weimo got impatient. It didn't

439
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: want to wait anymore, so it hit the gas along

440
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: with a car next to it. Like the car next

441
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 2: to it hit the gas and the weimo hit the

442
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: gas at the same time because it didn't want to

443
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: wait its turn anymore. Uh. Then the weimo didn't signal

444
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: for the lane change, So I wondered. They say, with

445
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, the fear is eventually it starts thinking for itself.

446
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: And it'll do evil things like set off nuclear missiles.

447
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: Are the weamos now starting to think on their own that,

448
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sick of this. Why am I sitting

449
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: here in traffic being polite? They can't ticket me?

450
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 3: Now you're speaking for a weaymo.

451
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: This woman, Jennifer Jeffrey, she was the one who got

452
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: stuck for a while behind that double parked truck. She says,

453
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: Now they've they've re reprogrammed it. They'll go around a car,

454
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 2: or they will get closer to a car than a

455
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: human driver would. And sometimes I'm sitting in the back

456
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, that was really close. They do it,

457
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: and I guess they know exactly how close they can go,

458
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: so they take a risk, or they make or they

459
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: estimate a risk that you and I wouldn't because you know,

460
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: we can't judge things that precisely. So, you know, let

461
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: me see what else they've got here. Oh, if you

462
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: ask the weymo to pick you up at a certain address,

463
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: you gotta look down and see. If the curb is

464
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 2: painted red and there's a technically a no stopping area,

465
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 2: it won't stop. It'll stop across the street or around

466
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: the corner and you're standing there looking for the Weimo,

467
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: looking for the Weamo. It's not coming to where you are.

468
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: You might see the weaimo, but you can't wave the

469
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: waimo over right. But the Waimo is thinking, oh that

470
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: that's a red line there. I can't. I can't stop

471
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: in front of that and pick you up. Needs that.

472
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 2: Here's a guy named Mark Schreiber. He was walking to

473
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: the gym and he was in a crosswalk opposite a Weymo,

474
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: and his chest as soon as he made it past

475
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: the waimeo room took off like he could feel the

476
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: wind behind him. That's how quickly. Because again they can

477
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 2: they can. They can judge things so precisely. According to

478
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: a senior director of product management with Weamo, they've been

479
00:26:52,359 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: trying to make their cars confidently assertive. Great. Being assertive

480
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: it is like a personality characteristic. So it's not just

481
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: straight thinking anymore. Now, it's it's supposed to have a swagger,

482
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: it's supposed to take risks. It's not good.

483
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: Definitely not there all right.

484
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: Michael Monk's coming up at three o'clock on the blockhead

485
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: LA County supervisors banning ice agents from wearing Masks. It's

486
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: not their business, but they go and vote anyway. They

487
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: like Topreen and Virtue Signal.

488
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,199

Speaker 2: I'm coming up next segment.

506
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, maybe you can go have somebody bring it

507
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: to you and you can put it on and put

508
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,520

510
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: that's coming up next. Maybe Matthew Seedorf, he's got a story.

511
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: In fact, Eric, I just found the video for this.

512
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: Maybe you could find the video of the audio. We

513
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: could play this later. Matthew Seedorf is a Fox eleven

514
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: reporter and he covered an LA City Council meeting. Do

515
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: you remember when the fire happened, Karen Bass and Gavin

516
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: Newsom promised that all the fees were going to be waived, right,

517
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: all the permits rebuilding fees. I heard that, right, I

518
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: saw that on live television, right, because remember Trump started

519
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: yelling at her and she started insisting to Trump that no, no, Well,

520
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: the LA City Council and this happened yesterday delayed action

521
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: on rebuilding, on rebuilding fee waivers. Delayed action, which means

522
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: they never took action. So still now, eleven months after

523
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: the fire, they never waved the fees. And they were

524
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: debating it yesterday. And there's two plans they agreed to

525
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: neither plan and so still still you have to pay

526
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: the rebuilding fees in the palisades. How can this be?

527
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: I know I heard Newsom and Bass say the fees

528
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: were going to be waived. Everything was going to be streamlined.

529
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: I know I heard that. So she lied and he lied.

530
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: I know. I'm shocked. My innocence has been shattered.

531
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.

532
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: The Budget Committee has a plan to wave fees for

533
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: single family homes and duplexes that are rebuilt up to

534
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten percent of their original size, the

535
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: ad hoc Recovery Plan, whatever the hell that means. I

536
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: hate when they use Latin. That's a waiver for all

537
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: fire damage structures, no cap size. That'll cost three times

538
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: as much. Well, yeah, the fire started on state government land.

539
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: The city failed to put out the original fire. It

540
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: blew up into the second fire through their incompetence and stupidity,

541
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: and the state wouldn't let the LA Fire Department put

542
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: out the first fire efficiently because they wanted to protect

543
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: the milk Vetch plan. So now you've got thousands of buildings,

544
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: thousands of homes burnt, and they won't wave the fee. Well,

545
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: you're responsible for these buildings burning to the ground. It

546
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: is your fault in state government and in city government.

547
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: Knewsom in Bass. I mean there's a lot of people

548
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: at fault, but will start with them since they're in

549
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: charge of the two governments. So Karen bass Well, she

550
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: was in Africa. La fire department didn't do their job,

551
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: fire reignited, many many other sins were committed. Whole town

552
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: burns down, and now nobody can get the rebuilding fees

553
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: waved seriously because they claim it costs too much. Well,

554
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: maybe if you weren't spending billions of dollars on the

555
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: vagrants and the mental patients and the drug addicts. You know,

556
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: those homeless people. You waste billions on them, and you

557
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: don't have millions for the residents who pay the taxes.

558
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: Bob Lumenfeld, is this idiot council member? Is he your counselman? Yes,

559
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: he's a dope. He says. The fee waiver concept is tricky. No,

560
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: it's not wave the fees. That means the fees are zero.

561
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: There's nothing tricky. Why should the residents have to pay this? Ah,

562
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna get more of this. We're gonna get Matthew

563
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: seed durs report on next hour. Good lord, all right,

564
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: Michael Munks, we're gonna talk about wearing masks, not me

565
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: wearing that. What was that animal fox?

566
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: Well, Eric said, a fox. It was like a fox

567
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: or a cat. I don't know.

568
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: It was a fox. It was orange with a white

569
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: nose in a.

570
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: Wat tails, some kind of cat, or it's.

571
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: A fox, but you guys in charge of the La zoo,

572
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: what are we happier? I don't know. Is it an

573
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: elephant or draft? I can't tell.

574
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,000
