00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: I know.

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Is Michael Monks here? Was he going to be on

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: the phone? What's going on? Nice?

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 5: Here?

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: He's on fun? Oh, he's on the fun Okay, all right.

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: The city has something called well this really rolls off

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: the tongue. The unarmed model of crisis response program, The

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: unarmed model of crisis response. This is for when somebody's

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: having a mental health crisis and the city sends help,

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: but it's unarmed help. Okay, so they're not going to

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: shoot you these people. The unarmed model of crisis crowd

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: All right, let's see, like how nuts you have to

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: be to get one of these visitors? And then what

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: do they do with you? Michael, how are you?

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: I'm well, John, thanks for having me on again. And

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: I thought of you during the press conference a day

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: at city Hall because it was actually interrupted by somebody

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: having what appeared to be a mental health crisis, and

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: there were some there was some heckling from folks. So

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: it is widespread across the city that you encounter folks

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: who or are dealing with these issu.

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Was it one of the council people?

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: Hey, you said that, not me, of course. So what

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 4: they were touting was, as you noted, it's called the

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: unarmed model of crisis response. What they were hoping to do,

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: what they are hoping to do with this pilot program,

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 4: is to reduce any chances that there might be a

44
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: fatal encounter between law enforcement and folks who are experiencing

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: a mental health crisis or something related to suicidal tendencies

46
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: or drug addiction, something along those likes. So instead of

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: dispatching police to one of the calls that come into

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: the nine to one ones and our dispatchers are trained

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: to recognize the type of call that's come in, and

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: instead they dispatch representatives from one of three nonprofits, depending

51
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: on the part of talent that they're in, to come

52
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: and talk these folks down and to direct them to services.

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: And so far, in the few weeks that it's been

54
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: up and running, they've gotten more than three hundred calls.

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: And what's wrong with all these people? Well, what what's

56
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: the behavior? What's the condition?

57
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: I think what they described it as was very generic.

58
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: It was mental health crisis, right, so that could probably

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: mean a lot of things. It could be somebody causing

60
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: a scene in public, it could be somebody threatening to

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: in their lives in their own lives, and dispatchers are

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: now trained to recognize that this is maybe not something

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: that an armed officer needs to respond to. Now, keep

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 4: in mind, the LAPD has its own mental evaluation unit

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: that responds with officers to this.

66
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 6: So a lot of this you can't tell until you

67
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 6: get there, because somebody could be mildly agitated, and then

68
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 6: somebody then gets set off and next thing you know,

69
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 6: he's run to the kitchen and he's grabbed a knife,

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 6: and then you would need somebody who's armed. So how

71
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 6: do they how do they know when they come over

72
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 6: that they don't need somebody with a weapon.

73
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: If the target, if the person is armed, I think

74
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: that's a different situation. They would still dispatch police because

75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: that is a dangerous situation for others. What I gathered

76
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 4: from the news conference a day which featured a few

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 4: members of La City Council was that this is for

78
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: individuals who are not necessarily a threat to others, at

79
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: least not directly or immediately, but perhaps more of a

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: threat to themselves. And so instead of dispatching police officers

81
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: with weapons, they send these folks who have more training

82
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: and more experiencing and dealing with those types of things.

83
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: About the potential suicides here.

84
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 4: That's certainly part of it. They also referenced just general

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: mental health crises, but also drug addiction and yes, suicidal tenants.

86
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: What about family arguments, things things getting out of hand.

87
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: I think domestic disputes and those sorts of things would

88
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: still be covered by the police because domestic disputes often

89
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: have somebody else who might be directly in danger. Right,

90
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 4: So that's a situation where you do want a tough

91
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: guy or woman showing up, armed and ready to de

92
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: escalate as best they can. This again seems to be

93
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: targeted for individuals who are a threat, possibly only to themselves.

94
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: The difference is that LAPD has a similar program. They

95
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: have people in the department who are assigned to the

96
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: Mental Evaluation Unit that can respond to these types of things.

97
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 4: But the council members said today that they're overextended and

98
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: that they needed more specialized practice to target a few

99
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 4: different parts in LA that are underserved by that type

100
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: of response anyway. And so right now they're in three

101
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 4: different police divisions, Southeast, Wiltshire and Devonshire, and so that's

102
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: where it's going right now. This is a pilot program.

103
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: They do hope to expand it. It costs about nine

104
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: to fifteen million dollars so far.

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Did you get the sense that there's a lot more

106
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: of that's going on than there used to be? Oh,

107
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: just there's more people having these crises losing their minds.

108
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: As I noted, even the press conference itself, John was

109
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: disrupted and Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez had to stop momentarily and

110
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: at least recognize that what we were all hearing was

111
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 4: probably somebody having a mental health episode or somebody dealing

112
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: with mental health issues.

113
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: And they were in the crowd. There, they were in

114
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: the audience, they were.

115
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: A bit off in the distance. This was blocked off

116
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: on the front steps on the Spring Street time.

117
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh oh, it might have been a homeless person going nuts.

118
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: I didn't see it. Certainly sounded familiar to me that

119
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 4: that's probably what it was. But then yes, somebody else.

120
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: The second person did come to the press conference, and

121
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: I won't try to mimic the noise, but was making

122
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: a series of noises in the press conference as well.

123
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: So I guess answer your question is, yeah, you do

124
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: run into it, perhaps more frequently just in the wild

125
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: than you used to in LA.

126
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: I want to make sure it was one of the

127
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: TV recorders, that's all.

128
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: They all seem to be behaving themsels.

129
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fascinating stuff. Thank you, thank you, Michael,

130
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: My pleasure, Johnny. Michael Monks from KFI News. I don't know.

131
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: You don't know what you're gonna get when people are

132
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: going nuts in the house. Just seems like you'd want

133
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: to have somebody with a weapon to because that's that's

134
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: the way you can de escalate. For sure, you have

135
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: to scare them into submission. But what do I know.

136
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever hired me to de escalate anything.

137
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think that would go well.

138
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: I am not on call. I'm not part of a program,

139
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: yeah called John don't calm things down? Sure that that

140
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet.

141
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 7: You don't fall flat on your face.

142
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: First we come back this this is something else. Sat

143
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Steele was an ESPN anchor for many years and she's

144
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: now on her own. I think she has a podcast.

145
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: And she spoke with Fox News to talk about an

146
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: interview she did with Joe Biden just a few years

147
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: ago in twenty twenty one, and it was about how

148
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: the sports leagues were trying to get back to normal

149
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: as the pandemic was fading out at the time, and

150
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: she gave a first person account what it was like

151
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: to be instructed on how to address the president and

152
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: what she heard on the satellite feed before the interview started.

153
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: This is a little glimpse of the real world that

154
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: nobody's been telling you the truth about. Either Deborah mark

155
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Laden the Cafe twenty four hour news.

156
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: Run, Telli Marabas, the City Cruse will start clearing debris

157
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: from that house in Fairfax known as the Trash.

158
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 7: The National Weather Service is another storm.

159
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

160
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: six forty.

161
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: All right, Sage Steele. If you're a sports fan, you

162
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: know her. She has was a host on ESPN for years,

163
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: and she's got a podcast now and she got interviewed

164
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: by Fox News and she's telling a story. And here's

165
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: how the real world works. This is where you don't

166
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: trust anything you see on television, all right, and you

167
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: cannot trust the modern media at all. They are in

168
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: cahoots with political leaders and you are getting a carefully

169
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: crafted message and there are things being hidden. And Sage

170
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: still is blowing the whistle what she saw with her

171
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: own eyes and heard with her own ears. So she's

172
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: sitting down with President Biden and this is twenty twenty one,

173
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: and she's one of the big ESPN anchors. She gets

174
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: to do the interview on how all this sports leagues

175
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: were trying to claw their way out of COVID and

176
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: Biden's there to give I guess the government's point of

177
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: view on what's proper. The thing is, you'll hear You'll

178
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: hear two things. She was ordered to stick to the script,

179
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: no deviations at all, and then she heard Biden interacting

180
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: and trying to talk to her in the satellite feed

181
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: before the start of the interview. So this is pretty

182
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: interesting stuff. So this is Sage Steel, the former ESPN host,

183
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: got one.

184
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 8: Mister President, thank you for being here as we get

185
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 8: set for a wonderful day in sports, opening day for

186
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 8: America's national pastime. And this was about two months after

187
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 8: he took office. That was an interesting experience in its

188
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 8: own right because it was so structured and I was told,

189
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 8: you will say every word that we write out. You

190
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 8: will not deviate from the script and go to the word.

191
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 8: Like every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of

192
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 8: times by many executives, editors and executives. Absolutely, I was

193
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 8: on script and was told not to deviate because it

194
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 8: was very much this is what you will ask, this

195
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 8: is how you will say it. No follow ups no

196
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 8: follow ups. Next, yeah, I knew that this was a

197
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 8: lot bigger than just the wonderful editors that I worked with.

198
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 8: This went up to the fourth floors. We said that

199
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 8: where all the bosses, the top executives, the decision makers

200
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 8: are the president of our company, the CEO, where they

201
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 8: all worked. The big picture to me is that I

202
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 8: think it's heartbreaking. I think it's really heartbreaking that the

203
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 8: people who love Joe Biden and say they truly care

204
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 8: about him have allowed it to get to this point.

205
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 8: So I'm not even looking at this from a political

206
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 8: angle or my beliefs in anything. This is the human

207
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 8: side of it. And when someone is struggling, we allow

208
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 8: them to continue to be in the spotlight and put

209
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 8: them out there in the first place when they knew

210
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 8: their issues. Of course they had to know, So it's

211
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 8: a it's a humanity thing with me where I don't

212
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 8: care where anyone stands and what they vote in for

213
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 8: who they believe in. Do you really care about that

214
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 8: person as a father, as a husband, as a everything?

215
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: Is that it? Okay? That's that's pretty shocking. First of all,

216
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: when I'm watching an interview everything scripted, I don't want

217
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: to watch a journalist to a scripted interview. Obviously have

218
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: prepared questions, but you want them to react in the

219
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: moment and immediately have follow up questions. And if the

220
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: answers are going in a direction that need more questioning,

221
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: more explanation, a journalist has to do that. But orders

222
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: from what Bob Eiger, the Disney CEO, because obviously they

223
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: own ESPN, and whoever the ESPN president was at the time.

224
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: And plus we're talking about, you know, how the how

225
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: the sports leagues were handling the COVID protocols as the

226
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: crisis was waning a bit, all right, So this wasn't

227
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: secret to military plans that the US had with Russia

228
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: or the or the Hamas or something like that.

229
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: This is.

230
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: What she also talked about in great detail, is that

231
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: they put up a black curtain in front of the

232
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,359
Speaker 1: camera that Biden was looking into because that was a

233
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: that was a satellite feed. So they put up a

234
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: camera and she could hear Biden, and they tried to

235
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: make some small talk because there was a technical and

236
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: that's the part she was talking about, who's heartbreaking because

237
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: he would try to talk to her and then his

238
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: voice would trail off and it seems he would get confused.

239
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: But this is the part that for the most part,

240
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: we don't see. Occasionally we see it when he makes

241
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: some remarks in front of reporters and he veers off

242
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: his script and you could see him getting confused and befuddled.

243
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we probably have a sixty ninety

244
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: seconds of all his befuddlement that we've strung together to

245
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: play to remind everybody that he's not in his right mind.

246
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: He's suffered a lot of cognitive decline, and everyone knows it,

247
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: and the media knows it. And I think it's an

248
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: atrocity that everybody at ESPN, ABC and Disney cover this

249
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: up and give us a fake script and the people

250
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: in the White House, everybody's trying to fool us every

251
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: day's trying to put one over on us that we

252
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: don't have a sinility page running the presidency. And by

253
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: the way, this is twenty twenty one, this is three

254
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: years ago. This is shortly after he got elected. Remember

255
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: his basement strategy. Well, yeah, no, he's not going to

256
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: campaign because we don't want him, you know, to catch COVID.

257
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: Well maybe that was part of it, but the other

258
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: part of it is they had a good excuse not

259
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: to let him out and be in an unscripted setting

260
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: because he's not making any sense, and that's what was

261
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: irritating about, you know, the state of the union, and

262
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: everybody's giving him all kinds of wild applause. He's reading

263
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: a teleprompter, he's reading script. He's not asked to think

264
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: on his feet an he questions, and I'm sure he's

265
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: drugged up. I don't know what you get injected with

266
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: when you have dementia that you could hold it together

267
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: for a speech. Maybe that's why he was shouting so much.

268
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: But this is a colossal This is a monumental fraud

269
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with here. And she's not the first

270
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: one to talk about it. They pop up in the

271
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: news periodically. Well, hey, Robert Hurry, the special counsel that

272
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: was investigating where he put all the documents, and Joe Scarborough,

273
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: the cable host, said that every Democratic guest who comes

274
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: on the show says privately that Biden is shot, but

275
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: then they come on camera and they won't talk about it.

276
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: They'll say he's vigorous, he's oh, he's got so much energy,

277
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, I can't keep up with him, and Scarborough

278
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: said is like they're basically they're all lying talk the

279
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: ear and they tell the truth. Then of course Scarbo

280
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: is camp painting for Biden. Anyway, weird time we're in.

281
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, Biden's mind is shot. And come election day,

282
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: what is that going to be? Uh, he's going to

283
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: be seven months more farther down the road, seven more

284
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: months of decay and then you add his four years

285
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: in the next term. Yeah, that's a good idea.

286
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.

287
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Bill Saley coming up after

288
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: three o'clock. He is the assemblyman out in Riverside and

289
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: he has called the bluff on all the anti gun people.

290
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: He's going after what he calls fake leftist gun control groups,

291
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: basically saying something we've talked about many times, Hey, why

292
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: don't we add extra years to the prison sentence for

293
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: use of a firearm? And this group Mom's Demand Action

294
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: for Gun Sense in America among others, have said no,

295
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: and the legislature says no. And this is some thing

296
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: I've never understood, this huge contradiction. These are all anti gun,

297
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: you're big gun control groups. And then when you get

298
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: to well, how about putting the guys who use guns

299
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: during crimes away for longer periods? Oh no, you can't

300
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: do that. Well, which is it? Because these groups are

301
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: fake and bill of sale will come on with us.

302
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: He's the assemblymen from the Inland Empire and that's going

303
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: to be right after three o'clock. All right, now, this

304
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: is weird. I don't even know if I I could

305
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: explain it right, But you know, we we've entered the

306
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: phase now with the global warming obsession where it's clear

307
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: that the world is not reducing the greenhouse gases. We

308
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: are not reducing our carbon footprint. It's increasing around the world,

309
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: even with all the stupid things we're doing here in California,

310
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: the amount of greenhouse gases in California is going up.

311
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: And they knew this stuff wouldn't work. It was just

312
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: an excuse to loose money from us. Just look at

313
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: what gas costs. Well, this has infected the whole planet

314
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: and we're now at the point where, since all these

315
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: ideas didn't work, winded solar power are not really practical

316
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: on a large scale basis. We are the world is

317
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: not using less gas and oil. The Earth, they claim,

318
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: is still continuing to warm microdegree by microdegree. There are

319
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: some people who want to do crazy stuff. So in

320
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: northern California, in San Francisco Bay, these researchers are trying

321
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: to brighten our clouds. I'm not making this up. The

322
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: New York Times of this story on this. They got

323
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: a decommissioned aircraft carrier in San Francisco Bay and this

324
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: happened on Tuesday. They turned on a device looks like

325
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: a snowmaking machine, and they shot a fine mist of

326
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: tiny aerosol particles hundreds of feet through the air. It

327
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: was the first outdoor test of this country of a

328
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: technology designed to brighten clouds and bounce back some of

329
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: the Sun's rays into space.

330
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 4: I don't know.

331
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how this would work, but somebody is

332
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money on this. So the idea

333
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: is you brighten the clouds and then that reflects the

334
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: sun rays back into space and this cools the planet.

335
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: They took years to create this machine, and they want

336
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: to figure out if they could spray the right size

337
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: of the there it's like seawater. It's it's salty water,

338
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: aerosolized shoot it into the air brighten the clouds, the

339
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: sunlight gets reflected and the planet cools. Does this sound

340
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: like a thing? And it's called solar radiation modification or

341
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: solar geoengineering. Climate intervention is what it is. And a

342
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: lot of scientists are saying, now, I don't do this.

343
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: You can screw things up. What if it works and

344
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: you cool the planet too much? What if you start

345
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: changing the climate even more so? But these characters Apparently

346
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: a British physicist, nam John Latham came up with this

347
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: idea back in nineteen ninety asking whether we can control

348
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: global warming and his idea is to create a fleet

349
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: of a thousand salt powered ocean vessels that travel throughout

350
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: the world and continuously spray tiny droplets of seawater in

351
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the air to deflect solar heat from the Earth. And

352
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: I could get into the details, but it would bore

353
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: you to death and not make any sense anyway. And

354
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: they think this will we'll cool off the planet. Now

355
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: they have to have exactly the right size particles. They

356
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: have to be one to seven hundredth the thickness of

357
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: a human hair. If it's too big, it could backfire.

358
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: And then you have to send the right amount of

359
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: these aerosolized droplets into the atmosphere, a quadrillion of them

360
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: every second. The US government has actually distanced themselves from

361
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: this experiment because I guess even in the Biden administration

362
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 1: they think it's nuts. But that's what's going on right

363
00:22:53,520 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: now in the San Francisco Bay. Pete boodhage Edge, of course,

364
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: is obsessed with the climate, and he went on Fox

365
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: News because now Tesla is in trouble big time. Tesla's

366
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: sales dropped dramatically in the first quarter of the year,

367
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: way below the worst estimates. And as you know, all

368
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: the electric vehicle car makers are failing at selling the cars.

369
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: People don't want them, and Tesla's the last to fall.

370
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: And so he was asked about this, and let's play

371
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: buddhage Edge because he gets snarky about people who still

372
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: want to drive a gas powered car.

373
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 9: Tesla sales fell eight point five percent the first quarter

374
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 9: of this year. Four this week is laying off two

375
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 9: thirds of its workforce at the f one to fifty

376
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 9: electric lightning plant. It's also scaling back a battery production

377
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 9: facility because of sagging sales. EV sales are nowhere near

378
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 9: what this president wanted or expected, yet the administration continues

379
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 9: to shove them down consumer's throats.

380
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 5: Why Well, let's be clear, consumers have wanted and purchased

381
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 5: more evs every single year than the year before, and

382
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: Tesla is facing more competition as GM and Ford, Installantis

383
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 5: and other competitive players start to make sure they get

384
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 5: a piece of the EV market. Let's be clear that

385
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 5: the automotive sector is moving toward evs, and we can't

386
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 5: pretend otherwise. Sometimes when these debates happen, I feel like

387
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 5: it's the early two thousands and I'm talking to some

388
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 5: people who think that we can just have landline phones forever.

389
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 5: The reality is that the automotive sector is moving toward evs,

390
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 5: and the US can either fall behind China or we

391
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: can claim the lead. President Biden wants to make sure

392
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: that those evs are made in America, especially again, as

393
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 5: more Americans choose evs every single year than the year before,

394
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 5: We've got to make sure that those are made on

395
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 5: American soil, in places like northern Indiana where I grew up,

396
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 5: places like Michigan where I live right now. During the

397
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 5: Trump administry, China was really able to build an advantage

398
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 5: in the EV market, and obviously not because they're a

399
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 5: big environmental silver in China, just because that's the economically

400
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 5: smart play. We've been working to make sure that that

401
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 5: advantage comes back onto American soil.

402
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: You know, this is why you can't let him talk

403
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: too long. I wish he was interrupted like three or

404
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: four times. First of all, that snarky comment. I feel

405
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: it's like the early two thousands, and I'm talking to

406
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: people who think we can have landline phones forever. The

407
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: difference is is that the cell phones allowed us to

408
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: be able to speak from anywhere. Right with the landline,

409
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: we were stuck to the whatever room the phone was

410
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: plugged into, whatever wall the phone was plugged into, and

411
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: we had to sit near that wall. So the cell

412
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: phones was a huge difference because now you could carry

413
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: it with you in twenty four to seven, you get

414
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: a conversation wherever you were. You can't do that with

415
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: an electric car because they there's a few places to

416
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: charge them. They run out of juice easily. It takes

417
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: a long time to recharge them, and that's why they're

418
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: not selling. And this We've done this now for several

419
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: years and it kind of reached a crescendo in the

420
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: last year where yeah, more and more people bought them,

421
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: and more and more people realized this doesn't work, This

422
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: is no good. You know, you juice the market with

423
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of subsidies to make them artificially cheaper

424
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: than they should be. So some people took a flyer

425
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: on them. Not that many, vast, vast majority of cars

426
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: still being sold or gas powered cars, and the rate

427
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: of increase is going down. See this is what's known

428
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: as a talking point. Well, every year there's more and

429
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: more people buying, yeah, except the rate of increase is

430
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: now shrinking. And you have electric car companies, some of

431
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: them going out of business, some of them dramatic big ones,

432
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: dramatically cutting back their manufacturing. And Tesla is now having

433
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: a huge issue selling cars because when you actually get one,

434
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, it's no fun. And it's

435
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: because Buddhajedge. Remember when everybody thought he was going to

436
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: be president. Buddha Jedge, he runs a transportation department. Looks

437
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: like we should have had a charging network in place.

438
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: There should have been a charging station on every you know,

439
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: every half mile, every city block, ten fifteen chargers in

440
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: a row every half mile like you have in big cities,

441
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: but there's very few chargers and it takes way too

442
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: long and the whole process is aggravating, and forget cold weather. Well,

443
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, I feel like I'm talking

444
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: to people who insist that landlines there are still going

445
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: to be a thing. I'd mean, he is so full

446
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: of it. What a snarky, arrogant buffoon. No, it's not

447
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: like having a cell phone. His cell phones work, you

448
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: can take them everywhere. The electric cars. I mean, it

449
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: was a guy stole an electric car the other day

450
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: and petered out in the middle of the chase. His

451
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: phone was probably working.

452
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 4: Though.

453
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI six.

454
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: But after three o'clock we're going to talk to Bill A. Sale.

455
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: He's the assemblyman from the Inland Empire out in Riverside,

456
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: and he's kind of had it up to here with

457
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: all these gun control groups who say they want to,

458
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, reduce the number of guns because of all

459
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: the bad things that happen with guns. There's this group

460
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: called Mom's Demand Action for Guns Sense in America. Wow,

461
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: that's a mouthful. And he had an idea it's like, okay,

462
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: how about we add ten years to the prison sentence

463
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: if you use a firearm during the course of a crime.

464
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: And these moms said no, as other activist groups and

465
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: most of the legislature. So all the gun control phonies,

466
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: they're all fakes. They don't want to give more prison

467
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: time to the people who actually use the guns for crime.

468
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: They want to ban people who aren't criminals from having guns,

469
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: But the criminals who use them as part of their workday, no, no, no,

470
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: no extra prison time there. So we'll talk to Bill

471
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: of Sale coming up. I have some animal stories for you.

472
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: Oh finally, fact, I have an idea for a television

473
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: show that you could start in. Really yes, animal.

474
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 7: Justice, Oh my gosh, I love that.

475
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: Judge Deborah, and you will settle disputes involving animals.

476
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 7: Okay, can you have your agent work on this.

477
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example here, and this would be

478
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: an international dispute. I don't know if you saw this,

479
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: but the president of Botswana in Africa his name, and

480
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna really butcher this MAQUITZI my cci.

481
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 7: Wow.

482
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: He is angry with Germany. Germany wants to pass a

483
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: ban on the import of hunting trophies from Botswana, like elephants.

484
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: Germans would go to Botswana, kill elephants and bring back

485
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: I guess the elephant heads and the tusk.

486
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 7: Which is absolutely despicable.

487
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: Well by CC said, if you pass the band, I'm

488
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: gonna send you twenty thousand elephants to Germany because we

489
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: need them to be thinned out here. There's too many

490
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: of them and they're trampling all our towns and our

491
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: farms and our people. And he said, twenty thousand elephants

492
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: for Germany. This is not a joke. We have an overpopulation, Okay.

493
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 7: So let's let's spread it out to other countries.

494
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: Well, he has already offered eight thousand elephants to Angola

495
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: and five hundred to Mozambique. But Mozambique hasn't collected the elephants. See,

496
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: they tried to get on a conservation kick on elephants,

497
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: and now the population has grown to one hundred and

498
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: thirty thousand. Apparently they're flattening everything. They're trampling people to death,

499
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: they're eating crops, and they're damaging the villages.

500
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 7: They are sick and tired of the way they were treated.

501
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: And he said, I if we can't allow hunting, and

502
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: if hunters can't bring their trophies back to the home country, yeah,

503
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: then it's going to impoverish the Botswanians or the Botswanans.

504
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, so you know what, there's always another way.

505
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: Right, Well, as a judge, you have to come up

506
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: with the other one.

507
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 7: There are plenty of zoos around the world.

508
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: I'm sure that would be thrilled to have some elephants,

509
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: and maybe.

510
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 7: Some other some conservationists. I don't know.

511
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's I'm really happy that the elephant population

512
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: has grown back though, yes, because you know, they have

513
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: been in danger for quite a while. But the thing

514
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: is when they were, when there were you know, hundreds

515
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: of thousands of elephants roaming Africa, there weren't that many people.

516
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of people, and the people are

517
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: in the way of the elephants, right.

518
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: And there are a lot of people that go there

519
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: because they want to see elephants, they want to see

520
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 3: all the different animals. That's why you go on those

521
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: those tours, right safari?

522
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, didn't the other day you said you were

523
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: interested in going on a safari.

524
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 7: Yes, one hundred percent on my bucket list.

525
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: Coincident. I mean, wife is talking about one going what's

526
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: going on a safari together, which we did about ten

527
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm going to feed you to the elephants.

528
00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: But well, yeah, this audio might be a little tough.

529
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 7: Wait, I don't what. I don't want to I don't

530
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 7: think I want to hear it.

531
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: This is the audio, and this is what the president

532
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: of Buttswana was talking about. This is audio of an

533
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: elephant ramming and flipping a Safari truck. What Unfortunately, I

534
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: think we had a casualty in that Safari truck.

535
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: Oh we did, yes, Oh I didn't know that because

536
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 3: I saw I saw that.

537
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they think uh an eighty year old woman uh

538
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: suffered the brunt of the elephant attack. Uh, because he

539
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: charged it and flipped it over. There's even some video

540
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: online if you go to TMZ.

541
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was pretty scary to watch the.

542
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: Elephant a head on. So you see, this is what

543
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: the president's talking about.

544
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: I understand, But aren't we in their space? We're going

545
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: to watch them right right? So they're bigger than we are,

546
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: and they are and again because they have been killed

547
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: and tortured and they're parts sold and they're getting back

548
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 3: at us.

549
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: This one's piste off, this one's pissed off. He you know,

550
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: he was sick posing for pictures. That's right, one more

551
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: selfie and that he'd had it.

552
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: He was tired of it. No, I mean, I look,

553
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: I do want to go on a safari. I would

554
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: be very scared that that would happen, but that is

555
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: a risk when you go and do something like that.

556
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: I went on one. It was it was thrilling.

557
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: I know you said you absolutely loved it was.

558
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: It was two weeks and I thought I would get

559
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: bored when I heard for thirteen days we were going

560
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: to be looking at animals, but every day was great.

561
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: We went to Tanzania and Kenya. This is when the

562
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: kids are much smaller, over ten, about twelve fourteen. Oh

00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: my god years A wow, wow.

564
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 7: And you may go back to some other places.

565
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, I do, I really do. I want

Speaker 1: to see and you know the you know what's cool

567
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: about the elephants. We were standing and we were out

568
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: in the open. We weren't inside a van. They have

569
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: these cage like vans so you could see through easily

570
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: and take photos. We're just standing on the side of

571
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: the road and a whole pack of elephants walk by,

572
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: a family and elephants, and like the dad elephant looked

573
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: at me. Our eyes met and he raised his trunk.

574
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: He nodded his head at me. He's saying, hello, Hey,

575
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: you're right. I'm a dad, You're a dad.

576
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 7: He bonded over the Oh.

577
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: I really felt like I bonded. It was touching. I

578
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: looked into his eyes and he nodded, and he carried

579
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: on the kids following him.

580
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 7: Oh, that's so sweet.

581
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.

582
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 7: That is very cool.

583
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna have Bill of Saley on next

584
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: to the assemblyman who's going after these groups who they

585
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: say they're gun control groups, except when he wanted to

586
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: pass a bill that would add ten years to any

587
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: criminal sentence if they used a gun. All of a sudden,

588
