1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Kf I AM six forty.

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. We have word that Yes, a

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: Senate committee has advanced a bill that were to require

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: AM radio in vehicle dashboards. Who did Feinstein vote near

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: unanimous bipartisan support the Senate Commerce Committee, with only one

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: Michigan Democrat, Gary Peters, voting against it. Let's go find him, Michigan. Yeah, Michigan.

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: I don't know what's wrong with that guy. Not a

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: friend of ours though. So if it passes, it would

10
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: rule that requires automakers to maintain AM broadcast radio in

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: their vehicles without a separate or additional payment fee or surcharge.

13
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: There we go, all right, looks like we're talking about

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: lot of ev makers have given up on AM radio.

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: It's like the radio executives are making the proper contributions

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: to Congress this year.

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: Right, you can get well that's the thing we talked about.

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: You can get radio stations like AM through the internet

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: in the cars. But but that could go out in

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: an emergency.

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: That's right, we are you know, when there is you'd

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: have to chop our tower down to stop us.

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: But then we have backups.

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: Right when there is a deadly national emergency, you want

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: to be listening.

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: To Ken and I.

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: You want us to be there in Deborah Mark and

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Deborah Mark. You want if it's an earthquake. We're not

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: letting her go. She's staying I'll.

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: Be hiding underneath the table that I'll have my mic there.

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna hear her screaming in the background, but

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: will be the last voices you hear.

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: A reminder, I leave us messages on the moistline. We're

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: gonna play these calls tomorrow this hour. I use the

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app, the microphone icon or the toll free number

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: one eight seven seven Moist eighty six one eight seven

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: seven six six four seven eight eight six. Well, we're

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: back to a story we've talked about a few times

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: this year because it's hard to believe, and I think

40
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: most people heard it.

41
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: They're like, what.

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: There's a proposal that your electricity bill might be based

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: on a your usage and be a fixed fee, a

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: fixed portion of your bill.

45
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: That's based on your income. That's it's proposed by PG

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: and E. SOCW.

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: Edison in San Diego Gas and Electric and they've submitted

48
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: this proposal to the California Public Utilities Commission for this

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: fixed charge billing system.

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I got to talk about it.

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: Now with Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, a Republican who

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: of course has followed this from the beginning and all

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: the things that are wrong with it.

54
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Uh, welcome, Brian, How are you good?

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: Afternoon? Guys. I'm glad to be on with you. Thanks

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: for covering this. This is a pretty big important topic

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: that has slipped through a lot of news coverage and

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: rate payers are going to be very surprised when this

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 4: comes to be.

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: Can you explain simply so so everyone can understand how

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: it works?

62
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: It would work?

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: Well, there's a couple Yeah, there's a couple of steps

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: in this, and let me start at the beginning. The

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: bill that was approved by the legislature and signed by

66
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: the governor is one of those nefarious budget trailer bills.

67
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: After the legislature well approve the budget, you know, sometime

68
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: in June, by June fifteenth, and then the rest of

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: the summer is what it's called trailer bills that add

70
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 4: more language to how the budget is actually supposed to

71
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: be spent, and that's fine and good, I suppose, But oftentimes,

72
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: actually almost every time, in those budget trailer bills, the

73
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: Democrats and or the governor slip in some kind of

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: policy that they know is going to have a hard

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: time getting through committee, or they don't want to see

76
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: the light of day until it's actually approved because they

77
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: know once it goes into committee, you know it's going

78
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: to get debated, it's going to be brought to the

79
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: attention of the news folks and Republicans and everybody else

80
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: who's not going to agree with the idea. So this

81
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: was in a budget trailer bill last I think one

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: is when it was approved, slipped in basically in the

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: middle of the night. These budget trailer bills come up

84
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: in the next day or two. They're usually voted on

85
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: our party line vote Democrats I Republicans know. You know,

86
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: sometimes every once in a while they're by partison. I

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: don't remember particularly on this bill is probably a partisan bill.

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: So it gets approved, the governor signs it, and then

89
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: a year later, now all of these different agencies and

90
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: groups are having to submit their proposals. So the bottom

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: line here is for the energy companies, they're doing they're

92
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: complying with the law that the Democrats in the legislature

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: and the governor pushed through and is making them come

94
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 4: up with these proposals for the income base.

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: This law, this law already passed a year ago, and

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: now we're in the detail stage being go oh man,

97
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: this this this got through a year ago, and nobody.

98
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 4: Knew about it, right because the proposed well, I mean

99
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: people knew about it. They probably just weren't paying attention

100
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: to it. Because I'm talking about the proposals.

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: The public, the public ought to know about this.

102
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: This is a drastic change and how you compute your

103
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: your electric bell. And they snuffed this through and was

104
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: never explained, never aired out.

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: That's correct, that's raw and so and so. What happened

106
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: was the proposals were due in the springtime. So the

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 4: three electrical companies turned in their proposals, turned turned in

108
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: their proposal, I believe it or not. The Sierra Club

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: put in their proposal. You know, there's five or six

110
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: proposals that have been introduced so far. Of course, the

111
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 4: energy companies are the ones that are catching all the

112
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: heat right now, because you know, they're the companies. Everybody

113
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 4: else is you know, looking out for the good of

114
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: the public. You know, Sierra Club and turn and you

115
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: know all of those. You know they are how much?

116
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: All right? How are they going to compute this stuff?

117
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: I mean it takes somebody who's I don't know, making

118
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars, family making one hundred thousand dollars.

119
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: How are they going to decide their electric bill? Is

120
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: there simple way to explain the formula?

121
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 4: Sure, the same people that are on DMV and ed D,

122
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: Employment Development Department and all of the other departments in

123
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: California that are already having problems running themselves. Somebody in

124
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: those cubicles are going to be responsible for knowing how

125
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: much you make, how much your managers make, how much

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: your viewers and listeners make, how much I make, and

127
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: compute that into a scale of how much we're going

128
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: to pay for our fixed charge on our electricity.

129
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: Fixed charge and the fixed charges regardless of how much Wait, wait,

130
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: let me ask you this. A fixed charge means it's

131
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: there regardless of how much electricity we actually use.

132
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 4: That's tread So that's that's that's it's a two point proposal.

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: So it's not Wait, I'm gonna just make this everyone

134
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: understand because this is new for almost everyone listening. It's

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: not a fixed percentage of the electricity they use. There's

136
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: a fixed the charge and then they start computing the electricity.

137
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: The part of your electric bill will be a fixed

138
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: charge under these proposals based on your income, and then

139
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: your usage will be on top of the fixed charge.

140
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 5: This.

141
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Uh did the Soviet Union have this?

142
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm glad you brought that up, because

143
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: what has happened overnight here is California has now slipped

144
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: into a socialist economy, Uh, focusing on energy usage at

145
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: this point in time.

146
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: Well, you say, I mean you're calling it a hard

147
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: work utility tax, and you say it's actually going to

148
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: hurt low income families too.

149
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: Well, there's a depending on what eventually comes out from

150
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: the PUC. Remember, all of these things that we're talking

151
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: about right now are proposals. So the energy companies turn

152
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: to air Club all the others. These are just proposals.

153
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: We don't know what PUC is going to do with this,

154
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 4: So the PUC could come out. I mean, everybody's going

155
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: to have a fixed charge. So if you're a low income,

156
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: low energy user, you're going to have a fixed charge

157
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: regardless of how much energy you use. So let's say

158
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: you're a low income person and you've done a very

159
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 4: good job of lowering your usage in your apartment or

160
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: your home, you know whatever, you're using an electricity in

161
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: to conserve and save money. And now the PUC is saying, well,

162
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 4: that's well and good, thank you very much, but there's

163
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: gonna be a minimum fixed charge for wait wait.

164
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, so they're going to make you even after

165
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: you've reduced your electricity use, they're going to make you

166
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: pay anyway.

167
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: Correct, right, And for folks that have put in solar,

168
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: you know, the folks that are putting it gone to

169
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: the expense of putting in solar, they're going to have

170
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 4: a fixed usage charge, you know, before they ever even

171
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: start getting credit for their solar. Yeah.

172
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: I thought the idea behind this was that they wanted

173
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: to help out the low income people by making them

174
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: get subsidized by the higher income Californians.

175
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: But do you think it's going to hurt both?

176
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: That's that's how they're that's the guys that they're using

177
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: to flip this through as passed the public. And again

178
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: that's why I'm glad you guys are covering it. It is.

179
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 4: It is finally getting some coverage based on the Senate

180
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 4: Republican's letter back in April they got this or back

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: in the springtime they got this started.

182
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: So what's the next phase for this, Well, the next.

183
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: Phase is that it's at the PUC right now. So

184
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: if you uh, you know, back to the letter that

185
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: we put out, it gives instructions your listeners can contact

186
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 4: the PUC. There's a public comment phase. We're in that

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: public comment phase where your listeners can go and share

188
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: their opinion with the PUC on how bad of an idea?

189
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: This is all right?

190
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for talking to us, Brian Jones

191
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: and Sat Mandarli, the Republican from San Diego. We appreciate

192
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 3: what probably gonna have you back on to talk about

193
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: this when the PUC takes up the subject.

194
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys. Keep up the good work.

195
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: All right.

196
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 3: Again, that's the California Public Utility Commission known as CPUC,

197
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: and we don't know when this will be on their schedule,

198
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: but the idea, and it's always worth repeating. California's electricity

199
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: bills are more than twice the national average and now

200
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: they want to take your bill and divide it into your.

201
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: Usage and a good old fixed charge.

202
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: You know.

203
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: It kind of like the way hotels throw on fees

204
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: for all these other things that they charge everybody.

205
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just theft.

206
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: It is theft, and I'll bet you everybody's gonna end

207
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: up paying more. All right, more coming up? Oh chance

208
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: you to win money that could help your household income.

209
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: Keyword Next, Johnny Ken KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere

210
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app.

211
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

212
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 6: AM six forty.

213
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about electricity.

214
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: We're just talking with State Senator Brian Jones about this

215
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: possibility that your utility bill, your electric bill could be

216
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: based on your usage and a fixed charge based on

217
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: your income. Now we move over to a couple of stories.

218
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: The largest electrical grid operator in the country put out

219
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: an emergency alert. As you know, it's been war in

220
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: many parts of the United States and they're a little

221
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: bit concerned about the electricity supplies. So they did put

222
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: out an alert that they might come up short. We're

223
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: not just talking about California. This is a provider that

224
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: affects many states. It's called PJAM interconnection. They issued two

225
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: alerts early notification that might require the use of emergency

226
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: procedures during the heat wave, and that all their generating

227
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: resources are online or have been scheduled, but it's possible

228
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 3: that they could be subject to some outages. Now back

229
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: here in California, this tells you all you need to

230
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: know about California's attempts to go electric with everything. And

231
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: one thing they're trying to do, which gets kind of complicated,

232
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: is get all the trucking companies to convert to electric. Apparently,

233
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: the ones that operate in and around the port have

234
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: a deadline of January first, twenty twenty four, after which

235
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: any new trucks sold in the state have to be

236
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: zero emission. So we already have some companies that have

237
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: electric trucks, but they're having trouble finding chargers. There are

238
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: seven hundred electric truck chargers at depots in California right now.

239
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: The state thinks that because of this new mandate, they're

240
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: gonna need one hundred and fifty seven thousand by the

241
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: year twenty thirty.

242
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a pretty fast bill, isn't it To

243
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: go from seven hundred to one hundred and fifty seven thousand.

244
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: Do you realize how insane this is? Gavin Newsom is

245
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: clinically insane. They have a deadline that's coming up in

246
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: what five months?

247
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: Six and a half? Five months? Oh, for the right

248
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four deadline about the new trucks.

249
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: Right, and they only have seven hundred chargers and in

250
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: just what six and a half years, they're gonna need

251
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty seven thousand.

252
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: So it's so bad now is that they're setting up

253
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: diesel generators to power the chargers.

254
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have electric vehicle chargers that they've set up

255
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: temporarily which are powered by diesel or natural gas. Does

256
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: that tell you how stupid this is? And it makes

257
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: no sense? Aren't they sort of defeating their own goal there? Well,

258
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: I suy, the truck will be powered electrically, but it

259
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,359
Speaker 3: got its power from diesel or natural gas.

260
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: Solutions because they never built the electrical chargers.

261
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: They don't not even so they came up with this

262
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: mandate and never built enough charging stations for trucks.

263
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: And so now now they're using diesel again. Yeah, before

264
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: you put out a massive policy like requiring electric vehicles,

265
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: don't you have a network of electric chargers already set

266
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: to go. Why ban burning diesel in trucks and then

267
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: burned diesel to generate the electricity.

268
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: Why didn't the state contract to build these chargers. They're

269
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: just leaving up to private.

270
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: They're incompetent, They're absolutely incompetent. They're driven by this weird

271
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: sick oh religion, but they don't have the intelligence, or

272
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: the ability or the time to actually build the network.

273
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's not the only place this is happening

274
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: in Wales. There's a local town town of Cardiff. They

275
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: started transitioning to electric vehicles. They're supposed to have be

276
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: zero by twenty thirty, but they were caught and they

277
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: were forced to admit that the vehicles they were charging

278
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: were using diesel generators. A local residence spotted the diesel

279
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: generators and tattled. The town was trying to hide that

280
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: they were patting themselves on the back for going green

281
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: net zero electric driven vehicles, and it turns out there

282
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: and it's their garbage trucks.

283
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: A lot of electric sources do still come from natural

284
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: gas or diesel.

285
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: It's part of the whole system. I mean, obviously you

286
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: get it from water too, but that's here's another one.

287
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: This is also in England York.

288
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: They spent eight pounds on electric garbage trucks, but they

289
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: do not have charging infrastructure. Same thing. They have a

290
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: twenty thirty deadline. They bought the trucks ready to go,

291
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: but they don't have chargers. I don't understand what's wrong

292
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: with everybody in power? Why did everybody succumb to the

293
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: same insanity at the same time. Why is it they

294
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: all felt shamed they didn't get I don't think they

295
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: got paid off here. What a weird hysteria we're living

296
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: through right now. Everybody ran out and bought electric everything

297
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: these towns, and they've got no power for them.

298
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up.

Speaker 1: and I had to look it up because he didn't

315
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: believe her. I wanted more detail. I'll be nice.

316
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: No, of course I believed her, but I decided we

317
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: had to talk about it because it is one of

318
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 3: the most anticipated events in all of twenty twenty three

319
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 3: to come to southern California.

320
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, it's so far.

321
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: Remember the whole fiasco with ticket Master and tickets, and

322
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 3: I know people that were scrambling to get those their

323
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: daughters or Taylor Swift their daughters.

324
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: Okay, fifties, no, not me.

325
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: So you know about these hotel workers who are striking, Yeah,

326
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: they have. The union has sent a message to Taylor

327
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: Swift to postpone her Sofi concerts.

328
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: Unite here Local eleven. It's an open letter.

329
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: Your show make our hotels a lot of money in

330
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: Los Angeles hotels are doubling and even tripling what they

331
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 3: charged because you are coming. They also add junk fees

332
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: on rooms, just like Ticketmaster does, but we see none

333
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: of it. The hotels are making more money than ever.

334
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: We can't afford to live close to work. Some of

335
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 3: us sleep in our cars between shifts. Our paychecks are

336
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: so small, many of us are losing our homes. Please

337
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: stand with us and postpone your concerts. She's doing five

338
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: shows at sofar August third to the fifth, and then

339
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: the eighth of the ninth. So is so far no

340
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: response officially from Taylor's.

341
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: There's no way that she is going to cancel. Can

342
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: you imagine the outrage from all the people that Buch She.

343
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: Would run into contractual problems if she did not, right,

344
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: And is she supposed to put all the people with

345
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: so far out of work?

346
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: Not a good point.

347
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: All the workers there, there's a big staff there that

348
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: depends on Taylor, Swift and everybody else showing up and

349
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: doing concerts. Sure, right, and what about every If there's

350
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: a lot of visitors, they're going to be eating at restaurants,

351
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: They're going to be buying things at retail shops.

352
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, these unions act like they're the only people

353
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: on the planet.

354
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: They're hoping if she postponed the concerts, all the people

355
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: that book the hotel rooms will cancel and the hotels.

356
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: Will be you know, poor.

357
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 6: Oh you know what.

358
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: Increasingly unions are coming up with really like wacky ideas,

359
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: trying to tie every social issue.

360
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: Into pop culture. Yeah, whether it's like the teacher, yeah,

361
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 3: bringing in the homeless. Yeah, this is the union that

362
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: brought in the homeless too. They're trying to get the hotels.

363
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: I still can't believe this will be on your ballot, John,

364
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: not mine. You're an LA voter, but you're gonna vote

365
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: on a possibility that the hotels will be tracked and

366
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: if they have empty rooms, they got to take in

367
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: the vagrants.

368
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And then there's a seven percent tax too.

369
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: Oh I hope people vote that down. Oh that's massive interference.

370
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: And I don't want to go into a hotel if

371
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: there's almost people living there and most of the tourists

372
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: aren't gonna want to go. I mean, this place is

373
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: wrecked enough.

374
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: Why why is it everybody's gotta serve the homeless? Why

375
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 2: this place is wrecked enough? It is wrecked enough there

376
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 2: you going a hotel room. Oh, a homeless guy had

377
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: it last night. Oh that explains the VAMA on the pillow,

378
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: doesn't it. That's disgusting. What a disgusting ballot measure? Does

379
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: that thing have a number or a letter or anything?

380
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: You I have to look it up.

381
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: But it's next year, and I don't know whether it's

382
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: gonna be June or November. It's probably gonna be November

383
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: because with the presidential election, they know the turnout will

384
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: be bigger, and they're hoping that turnout as people who

385
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: vote for the union.

386
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: You imagine going in an LA hotel room and you

387
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: got feces on the floor, you got needles in the bathroom,

388
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: You've got meth powder, a crack pipe.

389
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine, did Biden stay here?

390
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: What is this that the corporations that own these hotels

391
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: are gonna spend a lot of money to beat that

392
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 3: ballot guy?

393
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

394
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: Plus a seven percent tax, you know, on top of

395
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 3: everything else.

396
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: It's the case.

397
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: By the way, could you stay out of all the

398
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: fun things in life? Could you let just Taylor Swift

399
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 2: play her music and let the people go and enjoy it?

400
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: Your your silly issue? If you make enough money, go

401
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: get a better job.

402
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: Guess how much Taylor Swift makes during her concert per

403
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: night each show? How much thirteen point six million, thirteen

404
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 5: million a show on this tour alone. No, I swear, really,

405
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 5: how much is that per word of song? I don't know.

406
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's better than anybody I've ever heard.

407
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: That's better than athletes and movie stars.

408
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 5: The tour lasts till next August twenty twenty four.

409
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: Wow, thirteen million at night. It's part of the grossers.

410
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: It's the gross right, yeah?

411
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: All right? Can I right?

412
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 5: That?

413
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: Part of it's because she hasn't done a lot of live.

414
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, forming of her songs, and it's a three hour show,

415
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 5: forty four songs and all the merch that all the

416
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 5: people are buying, right.

417
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just read there was like a built up

418
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: demand because she doesn't do a lot of this.

419
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, she hasn't gone on tour in a while. She

420
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: was locked down during the lockdown, right right? But wow? Well,

421
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, but you know what she earned. People pay.

422
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: People pay for the for the songs, they pay for

423
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: the merchandise.

424
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: They pay. She deserves to get it. She's working. At

425
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: least that's some people don't realize that.

426
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 3: The great thing about this country is it's very competitive

427
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: and if you have the talent to make it to

428
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 3: the top, people get outraged and make so much money.

429
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 3: But you don't realize that you have to beat out

430
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: a lot of people to get to that level.

431
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she has her own corporation she runs, and

432
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: they depend on her bringing in money. Did you see

433
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: everybody so far depends on her bringing in that money.

434
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: Did you see the sports story associated with her?

435
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 5: Eric No, Travis Kelsey, Oh, yeah, he was upset that

436
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 5: he couldn't give her his number.

437
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, whooped he do? After winning his record second Super Bowl.

438
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: He tried.

439
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he tried to speak with her before and after

440
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: the concert, but he was turned down.

441
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 5: Oh apparently she doesn't speak before or after because she

442
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: has to save her voice.

443
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: And he wanted to give her his phone number. Yeah,

444
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: but he was denied. You don't want to date her,

445
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: you end up being a song. Yeah, exactly.

446
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: I would never want to date someone like her, a

447
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: song about broken love.

448
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: But the next dy had men or what for second?

00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: Now he has to rethink his future because we now

473
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: learned that he's been flopping quite a bit.

474
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: This year, falling over, been doing the Biden flop. All right,

475
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: so this is important. What is Deborah Mark gone? Yes,

476
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean she left the building. I don't know she's

477
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: out of the building, but I just saw her going

478
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: down the hall away from the studio. I wanted to

479
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: be known. I'm sparing her from being on the air

480
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: when we do this story about these people at the

481
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: pet store in Oklahoma. Did you read it?

482
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: You're just you're staring like Mitch McConnell. They know who

483
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: they are, but they haven't been arrested yet. The public responded,

484
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: recognizing the couple. They're young people. They came into the store,

485
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: a pet store called Petland in Oklahoma City. They requested

486
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: a puppy that they wanted to be let out of

487
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 3: the cad so they could kind of play with it

488
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: and see it up close. Then surveillance camera later revealed

489
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 3: that the mail walked around the store.

490
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: First he broke the neck of a cage parakeet. Oh no.

491
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Then he strangled a bunny. Oh no, this is terrible.

492
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 3: Then he grabbed a hamster in a guinea pig and

493
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: they left the store. They found the hamster stomped to

494
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: death in the parking lot. Well, they haven't found the

495
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 3: guinea pig. This guy needs to be killed. This is

496
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 3: serious what we would call homicidal tendencies, which can often

497
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 3: and sometimes lead to killing humans. And he had a

498
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 3: woman with him, Yes, it's a couple. It's a male

499
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: and a female. He looks like he did all the damage,

500
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: but she may have been the distraction.

501
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

502
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: Well, why would you arrange to do this.

503
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: It's got to be drugs again.

504
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 3: And they look fairly normal. They don't like homeless people.

505
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: I see some still shots of them in the store.

506
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: They are young, they look like teenagers, early twenties. I've

507
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 3: never heard this is what they wanted to do for fun.

508
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: Let's go in to the pet store and you distract

509
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: the staff while I kill some animals. Yeah, it says

510
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 3: here one was distracting staff while the other was doing

511
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: what they were doing this.

512
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: Date night for these two. I don't know. I didn't

513
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: think Debramar could handle this, so I know, I don't

514
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: think the show. That's a rare burst of compassion. George. Ye,

515
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: hope she's not listening in the car on that home. Yeah,

516
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't think she made it to the car yet.

517
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: See could be got the good in between, uh speaking,

518
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: you got a rotch. She was in the hallway in

519
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: the elevator.

520
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: I don't know whether they're on the run, because they

521
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: do know who they are now by name, but they're

522
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 3: not revealing the names until they arrest them.

523
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: I think immediate execution. Make an argument that they shouldn't

524
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: be executed.

525
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: And now another quick story.

526
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: An employee who actually works at JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,

527
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 3: it's part of NASA in Pasadena. He defrauded us. He

528
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: took some of those the pandemic loan money that's supposed

529
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: to help small businesses and he used it to fund

530
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: an illegal marijuana operation cultivation operation. He submitted three loan

531
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 3: applications back in twenty twenty, low interest financing to small businesses, renters,

532
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: and homeowners affected by disasters. He admitted to making false

533
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: and fraudulent statements when applying for the loans. He lied

534
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: about the business's revenue and instead he used the money

535
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: to pay off some real estate debt and then his

536
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: illegal grow operation.

537
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: What happened to the hiring standards at JPL. He took

538
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: in almost one hundred and fifty two thousand dollars through

539
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: the scheme. Yeah, it says he worked in the budget office.

540
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: He wasn't like a scientist or anything, but he's like

541
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: in the budget office. So he's taking the money to

542
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: start up as his pot business. Yeah, well we all

543
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: knew and that was going on that His name is ARMANJ.

544
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Venzien from Glendale. Hovenisian, a thirty two year old man

545
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: from Glendale. Yeah, that's Armenian, right usually Yeah, yeah, what

546
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: so he pled out.

547
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of sentence they'll get for this,

548
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: but you can see it's gonna take years to track

549
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: down all the fraudsters. Forget about the money we lost

550
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: in from the unemployment.

551
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: They I mean it was I saw a story the

552
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: other day how massive it was. He probably was the

553
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: largest fraud operation.

554
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I think they've covered up. Yeah, in the history

555
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: of the.

556
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: World, there's never been so much government money stolen all

557
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: at once from one program?

558
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Is thereund all the pandemic you're just gonna talk about

559
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: CALIFORNI is on a.

560
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: Employment I'm talking about that program which thirty billion went

561
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: out of California. But this happened all over the country,

562
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: right in all the states. And this happened with all

563
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: the federal government programs too, all this free COVID money

564
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: whatever whatever form it took, right, yeah, right, I think

565
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: I read they think it might have been you know,

566
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: it could have been hundreds of billions of dollars.

567
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we lost thirty to forty billion, Yeah,

568
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: California to add fraud, So could be the nation, right,

569
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: I think of all the foreigners they got all that money.

570
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a lot of it went out of the country.

571
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: But you know what, nobody got fired for that. Just no,

572
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: they didn't did that.

573
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: No, nobody. Oh and Julie Sue wants to be labor secretary. Right,

574
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 3: you get promotion department, you don't get fired. We got

575
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: into the wrong business conways here.

576
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 7: Hey now, hey, I once went over the other station

577
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 7: I worked for. I went to dinner with three people

578
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 7: and I put it in for a for a reimbursement.

579
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 7: But one of the persons that I ate dinner with

580
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 7: wasn't associated with the company that the other guy was with,

581
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 7: so they denied that, and they called me in to

582
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 7: tell me not to do that again or there's going

583
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 7: to be trouble. So I cost the station twenty eight

584
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 7: dollars and I got a lecture. They they were charged

585
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 7: thirty billion and nobody got fired. Nobody got fired. Is

586
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 7: that wild?

587
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: You know what, you can't put your bookie on the tab,

588
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, that's what I understand.

589
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 4: Now.

590
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: You know, let's see him talk about Taylor Swift.

591
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 7: She cannot cancel that concert because all these concerts are insured,

592
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 7: and the insurance company won't let her do that. If

593
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 7: she canceled it, the insurance company pays zero and she

594
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 7: has to pick up the tab. Oh yeah, right, yeah,

595
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 7: so she can't cancel. What she'll end up doing is

596
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 7: going to one of the protests and you know, giving

597
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 7: a check for you know, one of those oversized comedy checks.

598
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

599
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want to shake her down, is what they want.

600
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: That's right, realized Why to embarrass her? They get publicity

601
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: out of it too.

602
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: They know she can't do it, but yeah, you're right,

603
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: they got publicity out of it, that's right. Yeah, they

604
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: got publicity on the station out of it. That's right,

605
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: out of you, out of me. I jumper Mark started it.

612
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,840
