It may 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: be voted on tomorrow, but let's begin with the man 13 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: that's apparently already gone the air. KFI is Steve Gregor 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: recovering Biden's visit to Monterey Park. Steve, how are you 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: exciting afternoon? Huh? You know how I love to cover 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: presidential visits. Between the traffic, the weather, the security and 17 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: all the people in there and all the politicians. You know, 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: it's just made my day. So yeah, I'm sure tens 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: of thousands showed up to see Biden, didn't they Well, 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: they could only pack so many into this little gymnasium 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: inside the Boys and Girls Club here in Monterey Park. 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: And that was, you know, pretty symbolic, using the Boys 23 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: and Girls Club to talk about gun violence. Executive Order. 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: Biden was about forty five minutes late because weather prevented 25 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: him from using a marine one from lax to the 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: Elmani Airport, so they had to motoritate over. And I 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: was told that they were not prepared for that, so 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: they weren't ready to go with the rolling closures. And 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: that's what it took him so long to get here. 30 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: We wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on. They've been 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: forecasting a big rain for today for days. Nobody, nobody, 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: all the advanced team, they didn't, They didn't look at 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: the weather forecast. Apparently the decision was made at the 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: last second that the ceiling was too low to safe 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: lee flop marine from no yeah, oh no, look like 36 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: you went underwater too. You go to the motor street, 37 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: which caused peek delay. Okay, all right, well we got 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: most of that so well. So it's just a bunch 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: of political operatives in the audience. Who are these people? Sure? 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: I mean, the event itself opened up with Judy Chow, 41 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: the congresswoman representing the district, and she made the comment that, 42 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: and this is interesting to be because no officials ever 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: confirmed this, that the shooter in the Monterey Park dancehall 44 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: shooting was mentally ill. And she kind of went along 45 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: that narrative and basically supported President Biden's new executive orders, 46 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: saying it will save lives. She was followed by Hilde 47 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: Salise who kind of reiterated the same point, and then 48 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: that was followed by Senator Alex Pedillo, also from the 49 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: same district. What is the border exactly? I mean, I 50 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: know what it is. I read up on it, but 51 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: can you explain it? I mean, really, in a nutshell, 52 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: it's more administrative in nature. He can't really legislate gun 53 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 1: control the way I read it, it's the federal agencies 54 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: are going to remind the state agencies that they're supposed 55 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: to enforce background checks and other administrative laws in the system. Yeah, 56 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: he used it more as a launching pad or a springboard, 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: if you will, to force Congress to take action, because 58 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: his comments were really directed at Congress, and he said, 59 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: and the gun manufacturers, by the way. He said they're 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: going to commission an independent study on the gun manufacturer's 61 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: impact on advertising marketing, especially towards those under eighteen years old. 62 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: And he also said that he's going to empower the 63 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: Attorney General. Mary Darling, I'm sorry, I didn't need to terrupt, 64 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: But what has that got to do with a seventy 65 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: year old crazy guy who shot up the dance hall. Well, 66 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: the narrative is that he should have never had a weapon. 67 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: He should have never had an assault style weapon, which 68 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: is what they're saying that he had. That he had 69 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: a high magazine or high excuse me, high capacity magazines 70 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: that allowed him to kill multiple people in a very 71 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: short amount of time. And that's really the underlying message. 72 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: They want a federal fan on assault rifles, assault weaponry, 73 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: and high capacity magazines. Well, he and his party had 74 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: total control of the Congress and the presidency for the 75 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: last two years. What happened, Well, John, I wasn't able 76 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: to ask him that question. I'm not holding you responsible. 77 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: It's a rhetorical question. I know these guys made full 78 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: power for two years. They didn't do anything. Well, nevertheless, 79 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: the message to Congress is they have to do something 80 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: and do something fast, and they basically use this again 81 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: as a platform to springboard hopefully put fire under Congress's ass. Yeah, 82 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be much of a fire. 83 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna be raising money today, which is the real 84 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: point of the trip, you know where. That's what he 85 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: was doing last night. He was in del Mar last 86 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: night after he made an appearance on the nuclear submarine 87 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: pack that he just entered in with Australia. Then he 88 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: went to a fundraiser in del Mar. Now he's headed 89 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas where he'll have another big fundraiser tonight 90 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: and then presumably back east. Well, that's that's the whole 91 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: that's the real business of the trip. And he just 92 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: had to stop for a few minutes to do the 93 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: gun control dance so he could get on all the 94 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: local newscasts. Did the hero show up again, Steve the 95 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: man that disarmed the shooter, he did show up, Yeah, 96 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: And Brandon she he was there at the beginning. They 97 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: acknowledged him during the because they had to sort of 98 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: vamp because he was running so late and people were 99 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: getting sort of frustrated and it was very stuffy in 100 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: that little, tiny wooden floor gymnasium, and I mean managing 101 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: the signs of a boys and girls club gym. So 102 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: we're all stuffed in there. And so they finally started 103 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: making speeches and allowing everyone to make the speeches. And 104 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: then they recognized Brandon. She and he stood up and 105 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: got some applause and standing ovation, and then then it 106 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: went kind of silent for a bit until you could 107 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: hear all of a sudden the loud rumbling of all 108 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: the motorcycles from the motorcad. You knew that he was 109 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: on premises because of the loud rumbling of the motorcycles 110 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: coming in, and it almost shook the walls, you could, 111 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: it was so loud. And then he literally walked out 112 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: onto the platform, made a comment and then took off, 113 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: shook some hands, took some pictures, and got back in 114 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: the motorcake. There you go. That was all wor here 115 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: comes the great man. They did a drive by. Literally, Yeah, 116 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: I know, Steve, thank you very much for that report. 117 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: Got a guys, Okay, Steve Gregory ring you know what 118 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: Park This is about him directing federal agencies to send 119 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: out emails and make phone calls to staying agencies to 120 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: remind them that they're supposed to enforce whatever federal law governs. Background. 121 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: The people want us to do something, so I did something. Well, 122 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: he had he had Congress in his hands, right that 123 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: when it came time to spend six trillion dollars extra 124 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: the last two years, he had everybody on board. All 125 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats were with him, you know, Kamla Harris was 126 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: there with the tiebreaker hock him the ban on assault weapons. 127 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: The Democrats sat there and did nothing. So did anybody 128 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: pick up on the subtlety of the last part of 129 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: the story there that the man that disarmed the shooter 130 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: in Monterey Park did show up again.

You know that that went 134 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: way farther than it should have. I guess, yes, it 135 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: was a really john let's say, got Biden to say 136 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: it didn't realize what he was saying, right, Let's go Brandon. 137 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: It kind of faded, all right?

Of course it got held 171 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: up because he's a liar. That's really all you need 172 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: to know. The Senators don't mind being wide too during 173 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: their committee hearings. That's what I'm getting at it. I 174 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: think all the senators ought to be pissed. No one 175 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: feels more strongly about this than Chuck Grassley, the senator 176 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: from Iowa. He is a Republican, but he of course 177 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: got wind of the whole scandal involving Garcetti thanks to 178 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: a whistleblower group that was representing a woman who used 179 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: to be the communications director for Garcetti, and she watched 180 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: his first nomination sail through a Senate committee. And so 181 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: that's it. And he, under oath once again said I 182 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: knew nothing of nor did I witness any instances of 183 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: my former top aid Rick Jacobs, engaging in inappropriate and 184 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: degrading physical contact without their consent. That's the way Grassley 185 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: worded it in his statement that he put out today, 186 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: degrading physical contact without your consent. He says, I've made 187 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: it clear to my colleagues and the American people that 188 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: credible whistle blowers approached my office about these allegations. And 189 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: these allegations have been been publicly reported by many news outlets. 190 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: Text messages made public by The Elling Times indicate that 191 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: these incidents were common knowledge among Garcetti's staff. A now 192 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: infamous picture shows Jacob's inappropriately touching an individual next to him, 193 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: and in that picture Garcetti standing on the other side 194 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: of Jacobs. Yeah, so he famous hand over the crotch photo. 195 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: You know. It's what he put in his letter or 196 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: the statement that he released state to the public. At 197 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: the same time, the Biden administration decries sexual harassment and racism. 198 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: It is now twice nominated an individual to represent our 199 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: country abroad who has enabled these very same disgusting acts. 200 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: That's the good word enabled, enabled these disgusting acts because 201 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Rick Jacobs was important to him. He was his right 202 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: hand man. He was running that mayor's fund which was 203 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: raising all sorts of money from GARCETI donors, slush the 204 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: slush fun TA. He was an important part, and I 205 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: think he was Garcetti's future. Garcetti thought, this man's gonna 206 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: help me become president. I know it's laughable, but I 207 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: think that's what he thought. Do you imagined there wasn't 208 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: day per Carcetti was working very hard to try to 209 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: get the Democratic nomination in twenty twenty, and now he 210 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: can't even become No, the next ambassador to India. Yeah. 211 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: Naomi Seligman is the woman. She used to be the 212 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: communications director for Garcetti that went to this whistleblower organization, 213 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: which really shed the light on Garcetti's lying because under 214 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: oath now a couple of times he's again said I 215 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: had no knowledge of, nor did I witness any of 216 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: what Rick Jacobs did. And I mean the other key 217 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: part is this LAPD officer who used to be Garcetti's bodyguard. 218 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: He's the one that started all this by claiming on 219 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: all these trips they took, Rick Jacubbs was constantly harassing him, 220 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: and Garcetti was there all the time. I mean, he's 221 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: Garcetti's bodyguard. Where else would he be but around Garcetti 222 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't the bodyguard for Jacobs? Right? Yeah? Well, 223 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's clear Jacobs did all this. It's 224 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: Claire Garcetti knew about it, laughed along with it, and 225 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: now everybody is dumb struck. All the senators are standing 226 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: there when we do, what do you do to deny 227 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: him the nomination? That's what you do? Do you believe 228 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: in any of this crap? Do you believe in any 229 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: of this? Me too? Sexual harassment? Crap um Grassly puts 230 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: in his statement that since two thousand and five, he 231 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: has co sponsored either bills or resolutions fighting all kinds 232 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. He co sponsored the 233 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: Violence Against Women Act. He co sponsored bills introduced by 234 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: a Democratic Senator from New York to protect defend victims 235 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. He co sponsored resolutions 236 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: that Diane Feinstein UH sponsored to raise awareness the Ending 237 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Forced Arbitration of Sexual Salt Act of twenty twenty one, 238 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: and on and on and on. So he's trying to say, look, 239 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: I've been with you on all these bills, all these resolutions, 240 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: I voted for them, I sponsored them, and now here 241 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: you have a guy who violates the law. I mean, 242 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: he'd lied to the setting committee. He should be up 243 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: on perjury charges, and you're just going to rubber stamp 244 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: him anyway. Now adding to this, the Daily Caller News Foundation, 245 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: The Daily Caller is that Tucker Crosson's thing or something 246 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: he founded that? Yeah, he did, Okay, Well, they headlined 247 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: a story last night, huge red flag inside Biden nominee 248 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: Eric Garcetti's ties to members of the alleged Chinese Intel 249 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: front groups. It's a complicated story, but we'll just try 250 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: to give you the upstart of it. But they're claiming, 251 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: from their research into this that Garcetti nearly a decade ago, 252 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: received well over a million dollars in donations from two 253 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: wealthy individuals tied to alleged Chinese Communist Party influence and 254 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: intelligence front. Right a million dollars. Now, what's an intelligence 255 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: front is that just a spy operation or something or 256 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: is it a yes, yes, that is probably some organization 257 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: that pretends to do some doing legitimate type of right 258 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: other kind of business, and really it's just a front 259 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: for the Communist Party's spy UNI. Right. Remember that congressman 260 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: from the Bear is that Eric Swalwell apparently has some 261 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: relationship with a Chinese spy woman he was he was 262 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: boffing a Chinese spy in his office. Right. So over 263 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: the years, the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles, ooh, there 264 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: that is again, which Garseti created in twenty fourteen, received 265 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: multiple donations and the foundation of a business magnate named 266 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Walter Wang and something else called East West Bank, where 267 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: dominant Ing serves as president and CEO, and Rick Jacobs 268 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: was the chief fundraiser for It all comes back that 269 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: he was the key to a whole Garcetti operation and 270 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: he was going to set up the empire so he 271 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: could be president. And Garcetti's wife was the driving force 272 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. She and Jacobs We're going to turn 273 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: Garcetti into a star. There's one picture at the top 274 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: of the article with Garcetti and their Asians. Here it 275 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: is no twenty fourteen, Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti 276 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: helped cut the ribbon during the opening ceremony for East 277 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: West Banks chase En branch, along with the bank CEO Dominating, 278 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: who was executive director of some Chinese overseas Exchange association. 279 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: So what they're saying here that I mean that is 280 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: that allegedly the front that they're opening up a bank 281 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: and that, but actually what this guy is operating on 282 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: behalf of the Communist Chinese Party to gather intelligence on 283 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: American activities, I don't know. I mean, you read this 284 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: article and it's a little bit lost in the weeds 285 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: here between all the connections and all the names that 286 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: they drop. I mean some of this in undo because honestly, 287 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: when you're the mayor of a city and China is 288 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: a big economic force, you are going to have moments 289 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: where you know you're doing business with right, But the 290 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: purpose of the business from the Chinese side is to 291 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: gain a foothold and gain influence and gather intelligence for 292 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: the Communist Party back home. Yeah, there's a woman that 293 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: authored a book on Chinese intelligence and she said large 294 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: donations from a philanthropists with ties to the United Front 295 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: organizations funding blue campaigns are a big red flag. She 296 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: wrote a book how the Chinese Commutist Party started award 297 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: America's backyard. So she's trying to say that this is 298 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: the way that they get in with the American politicians. 299 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's what that woman did with Swalwell 300 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: that she was involved in also to campaigns. Right well, 301 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: if you're inside a US congressman's office and Swalwell was 302 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: on the House Intelligence Committee, she's working in the office, 303 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: She sleeping with the boss. God knows what she had 304 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: access to. God knows what he told her while they 305 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: were rolling around naked in bed together. Now we have 306 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: no knowledge that Garsetti was rolling around naked in bed 307 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: with any of I don't I don't communist operators. I 308 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: don't think he does that sort of thing. They it's 309 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: not in the story, but used the Walter and Sureley 310 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: Wang Charitable Foundation began donating to the mayor's fund two 311 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in July twenty a million in twenty twenty. Yeah, 312 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,239 Speaker 1: the Mayor's fund. And what did that money go for? 313 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: This is all corruption, This is money laundering corruption. They 314 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: just believed in him, and they believed in his cause. 315 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: They believed in him and his causes. Yeah, what causes. 316 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: Remember twenty twenty was trying to get all this money 317 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: for fighting COVID. I remember that its fund. Yeah, he 318 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: was soliciting donations. He brought COVID to an end all 319 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: by himself.

They're 335 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: also not going to fill five thousand open jobs. Mark 336 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg has given up on the metaverse, which you and 337 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: I have mocked relentlessly. He now believes in best thing 338 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: is artificial intelligence AI pursuing. Okay, so I gotta have 339 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: but just one hype thing after another. Well, you know 340 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: this is the man they came up with Facebook or 341 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: the first place. John, Don't doubt him. He knows what 342 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: the next big thing is, the metaverse. Do you remember 343 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: what gave him the idea for the metaverse? No, for Facebook? Oh, 344 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: from that movie? It was it was he wanted everybody 345 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: to rate the hot women in Heart. That's what it was. 346 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: That's right, guy. So it was it was his penis 347 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: that came up with the idea. Is now back to 348 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: the state of California, which the government in Sacramento loves 349 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: to take over all sorts of private enterprise. Uh. Of course, 350 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: we've talked recently about how they want to take over 351 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: the fast food industry. They actually passed the bill, which 352 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: is now being held up because we're going to vote 353 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: on it next year. But the bill basically would have 354 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: set up a board to determine the wages of your 355 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: McDonald's workers. Right to communist the communist government, right, right, 356 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: So the people who shake the fryback, askt and flip 357 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: the burghers, the government's going to decide what their fair 358 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: wage would be. They also intervene when it comes to 359 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: what you can say about COVID doctors would be regulated 360 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: in their free speech. That also got held up by 361 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: a court. Now the third one, which is actually older 362 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: than all of these things I just talked about, is 363 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: good old Proposition twenty two, which back in twenty twenty 364 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: people voted yes. They overturned a B five, the work 365 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: of the California legislature, which would basically turn your uber 366 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: and lyft drivers into employees of the company to allow 367 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: them to bargain for compensation, benefits, working conditions. And some 368 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: of them balked and said no, I like being an 369 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: independent operator, right. So the legislature tried to force the 370 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: rideshare companies to treat these people as employees, and then 371 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: the people passed a proposition saying no, you can't do that. 372 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: And you know what usually happens after you're forced to 373 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: treat them as a employees. They unionize, and unions give 374 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: a lot of money to the Democrat Party, Right, doesn't 375 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: it all come back to that? So after they passed 376 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: AB five, the right share companies got together and I 377 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: spent the ton of money to get Prop twenty two passed, 378 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: which would obviously change things back to the way they 379 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: were and let people operate as independently, setting their own 380 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: hours and conditions. And what happened was a single judge 381 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: ruled against them. But the development yesterday was at an 382 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: appeals court out of San Francisco, actually a state appeals court. 383 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: The first District Court of Appeal determined that Prop twenty 384 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: two can stand, so they overturned the judge's previously ruling 385 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. All that's left now is for 386 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: this to go to the state Supreme Court, which it 387 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: probably will. I don't know how they're all rule, but 388 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: for now, this is good news for a lot of 389 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: the drivers and obviously the ride share companies that Prop 390 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: twenty two stands, and they're claiming that the drivers are 391 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: actually making more money. Of course, the dissenters, the backers 392 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: of AB five, claim oh no, no, they're making less money. 393 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: All the backers are lying what they want, that they 394 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: were bribed by the unions because the unions want to 395 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: bulk up their membership. Obvious. You know. The freedom, the 396 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: freedom is what's most important here. The freedom to decide 397 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: how long you want to work and how much money 398 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: you want to make. Because with the ride share companies, 399 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: you can decide, hey, I'm going to drive fifteen hours 400 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: a day. I'm going to do it seven days a week. 401 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: Rather than your employer, which left would say no, no, no, 402 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,479 Speaker 1: we want you to work thirty hours. That's what we've determined. 403 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: Your work schedule is this week. That's what you're going 404 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: to do. That's the difference. Let people negotiate their own 405 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: employment agreements with the employer. Okay, I guess it's a 406 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: simple system. You just to turn on the app. You 407 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: decide you want to drive for a few hours, You 408 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: go ahead and do you don't want to go home, 409 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: you turn the app off off, right, That's simple. I mean, 410 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: it's the best freedom. And I've talked to a number 411 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: of drivers over the years. They love it. And what 412 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: they what they do is is they they they'll do 413 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: the driving to fill in the gaps when they're not 414 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: working at a regular job. You know, I've met guys 415 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: who like to work late into the night. Right, they'll 416 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: they'll go out at eight o'clock at night till two 417 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: in the morning, six hours of driving in addition to 418 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: their daytime job. Yeah. I heard a guy say that 419 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: I just because I took an early flight. He goes, oh, 420 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: I just couldn't sleep, so I got I've decided to 421 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: ride around for a while. Yeah, you imagine that rather 422 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: than laying on the couch, you jump in your car 423 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: and you're making money. Well, why can't you You had 424 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: the freedom to do that? What is it up? But again, 425 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: I know it's the unions, it's the bribes, it's the corruption. 426 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: That's what almost gotten the way of of a great 427 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: system for a lot of people. I don't think I 428 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: told this story though another time. It was last year. 429 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: I think I took a early early flight, like six 430 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: am flight, so I had to have a car, like 431 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: four thirty in the morning to drive you to the airport, 432 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: which is not that far from my house. But he 433 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: fell asleep two times. I'm sitting there and I'm noticing 434 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: the car drifting, and I'm like, there's no other traffic 435 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: on the road, so it's not really good. And I 436 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: just thought he's got an odd driving manner. But oh no, 437 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: he's drifted off. I had to report it because that's 438 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: really Yeah, did you shout at him? I wasn't sure 439 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: I was right while I was in the car, but 440 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: I realized when I got to the airport that he 441 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: looked roggy when I finally saw his face, because I 442 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: tried to see his face in the mirror because I'm 443 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: in the backseat, right, and I just thought he just 444 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: likes to kind of wind around the road a bit. 445 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: But now he was gonna bring a little wake up whistle. Yeah, 446 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: and you sometimes take that for granted because you literally 447 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: are putting your life in the hands and these drivers, 448 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: because he's nothing you can do, they're in control. They 449 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: can really questionable. That's why did you see these? I mean, 450 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: obviously there's billboards for accident attorneys everywhere. There are some 451 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: now that just specialized in ride share. Been heard it 452 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: an uber accident called me, I'll get your money, all right? 453 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: We got more out it up. Johnny Ken kf I 454 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: am six forty We're live everywhere the iHeart radio app. 455 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI M. 456 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: After four o'clock, you can hear the show because maybe 457 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: you missed the whole thing.

So 462 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: I heart radio app Johnny Kennon demands the podcast there. 463 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: They're the reason that banks are now considered risky and 464 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: not stabler, dirty, dirty Newsoms. Whenever Moodies came up with here, 465 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Shaquille Rashann O'Neil. Have ever heard 466 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: of him?

Well, the reason he's in the news is 472 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: because it appears that he's in hiding. He is one 473 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: of the sports celebrities who's been served in a lawsuit 474 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: over you probably guessed did FTX, the failed cryptocurrency Giant FTX, 475 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Tom Brady, just Sell Bunching, Larry David.

So wait a second. 479 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: So this guy Garrison was such a dope he got 480 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: taken in Shack on TV recommended this crypto company, and 481 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: Edwin goes, oh, Shack says, this is a good idea. 482 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: How all the celebrities convinced them. This has got to 483 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: be a sound investment. What these folks are wealthy and 484 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: they know what to do with their money. What's the 485 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: IQ we're talking about here? Seventy five? Well, his lawyers 486 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: say that so far the celebrities named and the loss 487 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: that have been served, but they can't find Shaquille O'Neill. 488 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: He's seven and a half feet tall. You can't find him. 489 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: He's on TV Tuesdays and Thursdays too. Well, there's a story. 490 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,719 Speaker 1: They may have to go to the TNT studio then 491 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: serve him. What are you complaining about? You know where 492 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: he were? He's on hiatus right now because they're shifting 493 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: to NC double A coverage, but they're coming back the 494 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: end of the month with the NBA because the season's 495 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: ending in the playoffs are coming. So suppose he's been 496 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: hiding in one of his houses, hiding, well, just not 497 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: going out in public, and they think he's one of 498 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: the worst of the offenders, at least according to this 499 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: guy's lawyers, because it says in the story that Shaquille 500 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: was holding like these events to celebrate and tout FTX, 501 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl party called Shack's Fun House Wait Wait, 502 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: as part of his partnership with FTX. This guy actually 503 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: think Shack unders stood Crypto. That's I mean, I saw 504 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: those commercials and it's like, yeah, here's here's Shaquille O'Neal 505 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: for crypto. Oh yeah, sure. They were known as FTX 506 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: brand Ambassadors. That was the term they gave to the 507 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: celebrities for their endorsements. You know what if you got 508 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: into crypto. Worse if you got into crypto because Shack 509 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: told you too on a TV commercial, you deserve to 510 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: have all your possessions taken away. You deserve to be 511 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: completely liquidated. They should tear your clothes off your body 512 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: and burn them. Yeah, it's it's it's like to live. 513 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: One colonist I was reading is saying, well, you know, 514 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: you watch commercials all the time with celebrity endorsements. Do 515 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: you really believe that this one drinks pepsi or this 516 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: one drives that car or do you really care? But 517 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: I guess because crypto became such a cryptic kind of 518 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: big deal and that somebody went belly up. You see 519 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: a commercial like that, it's like, all right, you push 520 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: Shack on just to get you to notice the commercial, 521 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: right to draw attention to the idea, because most people 522 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: would know what FTX is, right, most people need to 523 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: know what crypto is. To this day, most people can't 524 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: explain what cryptos. So the purpose of shock is like, Oh, 525 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: that's Shack, what's he's selling? Oh, this crypto. But the 526 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: idea that Shack is to be trusted to recommend a 527 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: crypto investment, that's ludicrous. You have to be a colossal moron. 528 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: He appeared in an official FTX brand ambassador uh I 529 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: guess is an a promotion on Twitter where he says, 530 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm all in, are you get a lot of money 531 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: invested in FTX crypto? You convinced me. All right, really 532 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: the guy the guy puts used to put big balls 533 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: through hoops. The defendants are supposed to respond to the 534 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: lawsuit by April fourteenth. It's but he appears to be 535 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: the last major celebrity. I can't find where is he. 536 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,479 Speaker 1: That'd be funny if he served on live TV. If 537 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: somehow the guy sits into the studios and fun of 538 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: Barkley and everybody, that would be a good way to 539 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: RaSE the guy. Uh. Conway's here, Hey now, hey, now 540 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: it's pouring outside. And Mark Thompson, Hey, Mark Thompson. Well 541 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: maybe Mark could talk about the weather all Yes, it's 542 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: a late edition. I got the credit. I'll do it. 543 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: I saw the bad beam, Tim, I'm here for you. 544 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: Good for you? May Mark good? A question, Kennon, I'll 545 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: be talking about this all day, all those years you 546 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: did weather, right, Yes, did you ever use the phrase 547 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: atmospheric river? No, it's a new branding for Pineapple. We 548 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,479 Speaker 1: use Pineapple Connection or Pineapple you know, yeah, Pineapple Express. 549 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: That was the same thing, same thing. Now they're naming storms. Yeah, 550 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: that's so weird. That's bad branding. There's a snow storm 551 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: back east down not making this up. Its name is Sage, 552 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: and I just went on the stage. Doesn't sound ferocious? Yeah, 553 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: the Sage exactly. So I went on the Weather Channel 554 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: site Sage could turn into a bomb cyclone. Oh yeah, 555 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: do they have to change its name? Yeah? Really, that's 556 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: it's in transition. I have an idea. Why did we 557 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: name this one ding dong storm coming through? That great 558 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: to talk about not sounding threatening. You know, my old 559 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: partner at a name change. He changed his name to 560 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: Doug Seckler.
