Well, there you go. 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: I just finished lunched a few minutes at lunch. A 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: few minutes ago. I was trying to think of an 15 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: analogy to say that we've really got a lot going 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: on in the show. And I don't know why that 17 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: popped into my head. Yeah, well, I guess it's because 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: I'm walking around now and I'm seeing people with the 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: masks and I am calling them face diapers in my head. 20 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: Look at you with the face diaper to catch your spittle. 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: It's all. Yeah, it must feel good to have it 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: all moist underneath from all the spittle and the cover 23 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: fair has to go, has to be carried out. Seriously. Yeah, 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: that's one of our subjects today. Is we really lean 25 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: in on this one? Sorry, another one popped in my 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: head to have one of those days. All right, Well 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Newsom doesn't say loaded diaper, but he does say lead in. Yeah. Honestly, 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: the thing that really blew the lid off of this 29 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: is the comments by a couple of top La County doctors. 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: They actually don't work for the same department she does. 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: They're in health services. It's a separate but they held 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: an internal news conference or event where they talked about 33 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: how it's no big deal at the hospitals. What are 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: we getting worked up over? What's with all the media hype? 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: And instead there she is, we must take things precautions 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: because we don't know where the pandemic will go next. 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. You know something, we have to like 38 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: have a paradigm shift here, I think would be the 39 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: proper term for this. Um. We don't have to respond 40 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: to everything in the media. We know it's a ridiculous 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: hype machine. I saw the other day a gallipole said, 42 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: only sixteen percent of the public has a great deal 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: of trust in the media, so they've really turned off 44 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: almost Well, funny you said that, because for the past 45 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: couple of months we have ignored the l signando times 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 1: in this media hype. But now we have a health 47 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: director who's gonna make us put masks back on again 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: to be indoors. I say, no, Now, we got to 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: talk about it. Now we got to call it out. 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: I agree with you, No, I agree with you. But 51 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is we take it another step further 52 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: and collectively ignore her. Well, we can't build because she's 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: got to these powers. To what you're gonna do this 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: mask up to go into a store, I think, well, 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: because the store people will take it so, especially like 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: your whole foods and stuff. Well, the whole foods, they 57 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: still wear masks, but they still the workers of the people, 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: some of both categories. But a higher percentage than you'll 59 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: see anywhere else by far. I have seen workers at 60 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: most places I go to masking, and I think they 61 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: do that to make the customers, I guess, feel better. 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: But I see less than ten percent of customers in 63 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: any business I go into now wearing masks, right right, 64 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: I'm just saying in the Whole Foods it's a noticeably 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: higher percentage than the rest of the world. The point is, 66 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: when a point of trying to make is all, the 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: store owners should dismiss it as well, unless they're I 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: have a lot of sensitive elderly customers, and you know 69 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: it's a good business present. But then some weenie's gonna 70 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: come in and he's gonna call corporate. They're not enforcing 71 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: the La County Health Directors that we're supposed to wear 72 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: masks indoors. I'm gonna complaint. I'm making a formal complaint. 73 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: It's not safe a diaper face. You can't let the 74 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: We're in a period in this country where the five 75 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: percent is ruling the other ninety five percent because the 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: other ninety five percent is constantly intimidated, constantly on defense, 77 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: constantly on their heels, constantly react. I got something to 78 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: say about the nine there's a big chunk of them 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: who just go along. Yeah. I mean, you act like 80 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: they're all ready to fight back, and they're all ready 81 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: to ignore. No, they just go along. Oh okay, Well, 82 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to. But the only county health director 83 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: says that we should mask them. All right, they're not 84 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: really engaged, is what I'm saying. Yes, I at leastand 85 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: I was. I had it today. It was a provocative 86 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: theory I had. What would happen if we just all 87 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: ignored her and we just all ignored the stations that 88 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: are screaming and yelling. You know, it's only the thing, 89 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: Is what I'm saying, is you don't have to go 90 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: to battle, right, you don't have to bring weapons, you 91 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: don't have to go on marches, wave signs, you don't 92 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: have to do any of the stuff that's part of 93 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: modern protest theater. All you have to do is say 94 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: go away. I know, but that's I believe that most 95 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: people just go along. They're not rebels. They're not They 96 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: don't even actually don't hold deep seated opinions about that, 97 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: probably of the kind that, oh it's great to go 98 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: with that a mask, but it's not that big a thing. 99 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: Oh wear a mask. I know, I love that. That's 100 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: a big percentage of you mentioned why is it such 101 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: a big deal? Just do it? Why is it such 102 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: a big deal, and couldn't say it's not asking for 103 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: very much. Somebody sent the story in Europe, whatever one 104 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: of the health agencies there is thinking about masking all 105 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: the time because of the flu, that we should probably 106 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: do this. If you and I talked about this two 107 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: years ago, that these people were going to come out, 108 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: and now that you know it starts in Europe, if 109 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: somebody over here like California officials will go that's a 110 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 1: good idea. Everything we said two years ago, it's true 111 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: because we understand human nature. Everybody gets annoyed with us 112 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: because we point out what human nature is. That people 113 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: have like some utopian ideal of what they think human 114 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: nature is or ought to be. And we constantly pumped 115 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: their bubble by saying, no, humans suck. And here's what's 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: going to happen. You got all these para freaks and 117 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: politics in the bureaucracy like Farrere and and and then 118 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: you have all these uh, these these these lemmings who 119 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: go along because I mean they actually falsely because they 120 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: buy whatever they know about it that Barbara Ferrere actually 121 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: is some expert. She is not. She's a social worker 122 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: who has an agenda for equity. It's one of the 123 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: health equity. Whatever you want to call it. We are 124 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: in the age of the fake expert, where people wave 125 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: Credenti's credentials in the air. She's a doctor and nobody 126 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: even questions as to what kind of doctor she is. 127 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: You know, she's no more a doctor of medicine, you know, 128 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: than I am a structural engineer. Then Lucy with peanuts 129 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: and her little the doctor is in the table exactly. Yeah, 130 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. At least Lucy had real patience though, 131 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: And the latest did you see the latest? They're they're 132 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: actually sort of patting themselves on the back, saying, oh, right, 133 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: this go around, hospitalizations aren't too bad because we got 134 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: everybody vaccinated. That's making a big difference. Great, Then enjoy 135 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: your win. Take your win. You got everybody vaccinated gradually, 136 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: I means the game is over. I mean, do you 137 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: want to go home, have a beer and leave the 138 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: rest of us alone? No? She I mean I've read 139 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: the stories. They are focusing on all kinds of micro 140 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: statistics and odd ball categories, and they're inventing new situations 141 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: like well, we don't have ethnic equity, and it's like 142 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: there isn't a soul on the planet who keeps track 143 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: of what percentage of white blacks and Hispanics catch any illness? 144 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: All right, there's nobody who cares. The only thing I 145 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: care about is whether I have it or not. As 146 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: far as everyone else and what color they are and 147 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: what country their grandparents came from. Zero interest, and I'm 148 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: a ninety nine point with me. None of us care. 149 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: It's just do I have it? No, I don't have it. 150 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: It's a good day. That trick is ridiculous. Here is 151 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: the metric they're using, and this is from the Olsagondo Times. La, 152 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: the nation's most populous county, reported ten and a half 153 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: new coronavirus positive hospitalizations for every one hundred thousand residents. 154 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: That's the metric. The move above ten pushed LA County 155 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: into the high COVID nineteen community level is defined by 156 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: the dope CDC and P the CDC n P P prevention. 157 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: They added prevention. Yes, just like alcohol, tobacco and firearms 158 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: added whatever explosives at F and D. Three letter acronyms 159 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: are now, I want a fourth fourth letter. From twenty 160 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: years from now, they'll be ten letters. Yeah, you know 161 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: what this this must be great at those taxpayer paid 162 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: contend Well, it's ten, ten out of one hundred thousand residents, 163 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: and we're worked up. But a masking everybody? What happens 164 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: if it gets to twenty Are they gonna start closing 165 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: everything down again, locking us in. They'll put you Is 166 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: that really where this goes. They'll put you in those 167 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: trailers they do in China, they drag you out of 168 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: your house. Well, the Daily Mail read a good story 169 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: today that apparently COVID cases in New Zealand and Singapore 170 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: are much higher right now than Australia. The reason they're 171 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: mentioning this, and this is kind of cherry picking, but 172 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: Singapore and New Zealand have kept pretty big mask restrictions, 173 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: whereas Australia loosened them up. So they're trying to make 174 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: the point it makes no difference, right, doesn't right? Well, 175 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: for three weeks in Alameda County up north, they had yes, 176 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: they did have masking, and then a study came out 177 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: and said no difference. Yeah, they had you send that 178 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: study to Barber for Ram. But she doesn't care. She 179 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: cares about the power. So that's the thing. You can't 180 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: argue with these people anymore. It was like I was, remember, 181 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: I think Tim mentioned yesterday He had texted me Tim 182 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: Conway about how the San Francisco New San Francisco DA 183 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: fired fifteen prosecutors, right, and I said to him, I go, 184 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: this is what you have to do. You stop arguing 185 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: with all these people. You just get rid of them. 186 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: You recall them, you fire them, you ignore them, you 187 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: do whatever, you vote them out. Just get rid of them. 188 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: We're not required to debate every nittie with their whack 189 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: job theory, whether it's a medical theory. Really to happen 190 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: with Barbara Ferrere. She's not going to be removed and 191 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: she can't be voted out. We're stuck. Well, the supervisors 192 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: who appointed her supervisor, Yeah they could be, they could be. 193 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: Four out of five are crazy, I know. But pet hey, 194 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: the public voted for them, or the public that bothered 195 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: to vote picked them, and the rest of you minnis, 196 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: you sit around in your ass staring at your screens. 197 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: You don't pay attention to anything that matters. And then 198 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: you wonder why we have such a restrictive state. We 199 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: have a restrictive state because of the people you voted for. 200 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: All the other states don't have this. Nobody has this, Okay, 201 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: nobody has with California has.

All right, when we come back, you will 211 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: have a shot at some money. We got the keyword. 212 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: You gotta listen in for that and enter it at 213 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: the website.

I've never seen that before. A 217 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: back end dog catching a stick. I don't I do 218 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: a back end fetch. It sounds like it's some sort 219 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: of sens a little dirty computer move where they have 220 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: to go fetch something, reach for it, go fetch my 221 00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: back end, scratch my back end. Carl Damio's coming out 222 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: after two thirty from Reform California. They're coming down to 223 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: the end here to collect signatures to get this California 224 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: Taxpayer Protection Act on the ballot. We talked to Carl 225 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago about it, and he just wants 226 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: to give everybody a heads up to get those petitions 227 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: back because Friday is it. They have to get them 228 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: all together so they can process them and then get 229 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: them in to be counted. This would be a statewide 230 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: ballot initiative, which would make it really tough for them 231 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: to raise taxes. It's a good one, and we'll talk 232 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: to Carl about the crunch time coming up after the 233 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: news the two thirty. Next hour, we are going to 234 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: talk to a woman who used to be an Ela 235 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: County Deputy DA. She now works for the La County Council. 236 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: She was attacked by the same man that attacked the 237 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: Olympic volleyball player Kim Glass, same guy a couple of 238 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: years earlier. Right, he's still out there attacking women, and 239 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: there's at least three other women who say they were 240 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: attacked by him. Right, doesn't matter, he keeps getting out quickly. 241 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: You would think that hitting people with golf clubs and 242 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: metal poles would put you away for a long time. 243 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: But no, I don't know. We have to look up 244 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: the track record of this guy, but it seems like 245 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: he's out in a year or two chasing more women. 246 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: And the first thing he does is he gets some 247 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: kind of metal bar bar or paulm Yeah, wax him 248 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: in the head. Nobody puts him away for any length 249 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: of time. Doesn't this season qualify for well, he's not 250 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: a sexually violent predator, but he's a violent predator. Doesn't 251 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: just qualify to put him in the mental hospital for 252 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: like twenty years. Yeah, they do that with sexually violent predators, 253 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: so I think they still do. Why can't they do 254 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: that with this creep? All right, Well, we'll talk to 255 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: Irene Lee after the news at three o'clock. Like I said, 256 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: a lot coming today. Well, we were just talking about 257 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: La County and the health director Barbara Ferrere. We're not 258 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: going to say doctor anymore. That's as much as all 259 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: ignoredge of it. All right, we're taking away her doctorate, right, 260 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: doctor anyway? Wanting to reimpose the dope indoor mask mandate. 261 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Now here is a virus to be a bit concerned 262 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: about of course, all this talk about covid and monkey pox, 263 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: Well here comes a bola again. But it's not a bola. 264 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: It's Marburg. The Marburg virus is from the same family 265 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: as ebola, and apparently they've got some cases. What a 266 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: family that is, it's family trading. The West African country 267 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: of Ghana has reported a couple of people died already. 268 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you you get Marburg slash abola. There 269 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: is no vaccine and there isn't really great treatments, and 270 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: you can go down fast. The fatality rate look at 271 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: this range twenty four to eighty eight percent, depending on 272 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: the virus strain and how well you manage the case. 273 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: People have been known to survive, but apparently they have 274 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: to be watched like seven and hydrated constantly because basically 275 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: what happens with these viruses everything just kind of comes 276 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: out of you. Your diarrhea, vomiting. Oh, so all your 277 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: bodily fluids are flowing their way south, northeast and west. 278 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: It's like Friday night with ray. So you have to 279 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: to constantly stay on top of the patient to make 280 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: sure that they are hydrated. You know, they have those 281 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: intravenous things and that's you know what, you die eight 282 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: to nine days after the onset. It's preceded by severe 283 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: blood loss and hemorrhaging. Now you want to hear John Howell, 284 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: what mark Burg is probably transmitted to people from the 285 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: African fruit bat. It's the bat again, you hate the bats. 286 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: They are They're a mammal that I this whatever. They 287 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: share the ability to really infect us with a lot 288 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: of craps. Oh yeah they have. They have the viruses, 289 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: They've got raybies, they've got this this Marburg disease. Yeah, 290 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: it says here prolonged exposure from people working in mines 291 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: and caves that have these bat colonies called roussett us. By. 292 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing about Marburg. I want to say quickly, 293 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: it's not airborne. Basically what happens, and this is really awful. 294 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: But if you're a healthcare worker or a family member 295 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: and you're trying to help the person that has Marburg 296 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: or a bola, yeah, have a good chance of coming 297 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: into contact with their bodily fluids. Well I wouldn't help, 298 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: like get to change their diaper and well that I'm 299 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: not doing that, But I didn't say you would do that. Really, 300 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: if your son or your wife got to let me 301 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: start with you started, you end up with Marburg. I'm 302 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: not changing your diaper. First case is identified in Europe 303 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty seven. There haven't been that many outbreaks, 304 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: and this is nothing to get excited about because again, 305 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: it does not transmit the way COVID does. However, man, 306 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: you don't want it. Remember the big Obola scare. Was 307 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: that ten or fifteen? Yeah, and that's that's a similar 308 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: set of symptoms where you just bleed out of all 309 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: your horrify everything, you vomit, you have diarrhea, everything just 310 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: comes out of your body.

I can't deal with people's bodily fluids, especially 316 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: infected bodily fluids. I can't deal with their blood. I 317 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: can't deal with have empathy, you have the ability to 318 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: share the pain of people. No, I don't know. I 319 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: don't know I would just I'm not sure you've ever 320 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: held a hand. I would just say, hey, that's tough. 321 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: You've never been there for someone else when they're going down. 322 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: Comfort them? Not not a word in your vocabulary. Comfort, 323 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: not if they're infected with marburg. No, well, what could 324 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: do is you wear the big mask and the whole 325 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: hasmats gear and you've been still for somebody else. Usually 326 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: when these outbreaks happen, there's a lot of healthcare workers, 327 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: family members. If you're a mister warremth oh, could you 328 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: finally thought of that? Took a while, sure faster to 329 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: say that. I admitted I'm not going to be a 330 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: healthcare worker either, not in this lifetime.

Our guest Irene Lee will show up 346 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: at three oh five. She's pretty worked up about this 347 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: and she'll say what happened to her? And maybe because 348 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: she used to be a deputy DA and now she 349 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: works for the l A County Council, can explain why 350 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: a guy like this is on the streets time after 351 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: time to attack women. Coming up at three or five, 352 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna talk to Carl Demio now from 353 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: Reform California. He's been on the front lines of all 354 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: kinds of political battles in the last few years, and 355 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: he's been on our show many times, and right now 356 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: he's in the final days. Reform California is in the 357 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: final days of collecting signatures to get something on the 358 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: ballot to block further tax increases in California. It's the 359 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: California Taxpayer Protection Act. So the deadline's coming. Maybe I 360 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: haven't heard of this, so he's going to explain it 361 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: and then tell you what needs to be done in 362 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: a short amount of time. Carl, you're there, I am here, 363 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,959 Speaker 1: and we are trying to get all these signatures, as 364 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: you mentioned, So let me start out first. This is 365 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: the ballot measure I talked about twice so far on 366 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: the show, on your show, where it would really give 367 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: us a fighting chance to stop tax increases. It corrects 368 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: the corruption that we have in the ballot measure process 369 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: in California in three ways. Number one, it requires that 370 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: tax increases must be put to a public vote and 371 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: must get a two thirds vote if they earmark in 372 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: any way. Now, an earmark is basically hostage taking. This 373 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: is where they say, oh, it's for the roads like 374 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: the gas tax, or oh it's for the schools, which 375 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: most of the local measures are school tax hikes, or 376 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: any other earmark has to be a two thirds vote. 377 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: And that's important because just in the past two years, 378 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: the politicians have gotten into a loophole. The California Supreme 379 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: Court opened a loophole in a decision with upland California 380 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: to lower the threshold to a simple majority. We want 381 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: that two thirds. Second, it requires that when a tax 382 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: increase appears on the ballot, the ballot title must contain 383 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: the words tax increase. This is a game changer because, 384 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: as you know, they lie to people on the ballot. 385 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: A bunch of politicians get together, they poll test and 386 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: wordsmith a deceptive ballot title. You don't even know what 387 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: you're voting on, will raise your taxes. This measure will 388 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: require that transparency on the ballot so voters know what 389 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: they're voting on. And finally, it tightens a definition of 390 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: what a fee is versus what a tax is. About 391 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: one third of your energy bill in the state of 392 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: California is in essence at tax. This is a way 393 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: that they are putting new charges on your electricity rates, 394 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: so that all that goes into the hands of the government. 395 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: We consider that at tax. This initiative would tighten the 396 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: definition to prevent that. So this is a game changer. 397 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: Howard Jarvis, Taxpayers Association, Reform California both partnered on this. 398 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: We believe it's the most significant tax reform initiative since Prop. 399 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: To eighteen, at least in perhaps even Prop thirteen in 400 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight. Well, this is really good stuff and 401 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: we're getting close to the deadline. So how many signatures 402 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: do you need? We have one point three million signatures 403 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: in hand. We need seventy five thousand more, so it's 404 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: going to be real tight. This is sadly, it's going 405 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: to be as tight as what the George Gascone signature 406 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: drive looks like. It's just hard to get signatures, and 407 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: so if anyone has the petition in their hands at home, 408 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: you have three days left to get signatures, but by 409 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: Friday close a business, I need you to mail them 410 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: back to the campaign. Next week, we're going to receive 411 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: all those petitions back, we're going to process them, and 412 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: then we will submit them the first week of August. 413 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: But I do need people to do whatever they can 414 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: in the next seventy two to ninety six hours to 415 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: get signatures and then drop them back in the mail 416 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: to our campaign on Friday. So if you have a petition, 417 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: now's the time to finish it up and send it back. 418 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: And what's the website where they can get a petition? 419 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: If they haven't done that yet, they can go online 420 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: to Oppose taxikes dot com Oppose taxpikes dot com and 421 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: sign up real quick there and we'll get that stuff 422 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: out of the copy of the petition out. But literally 423 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: tomorrow will be the last day that we send it 424 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: out to people. So whoever signs up today can get 425 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: a copy of it at oppose taxpikes dot com. I 426 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: guess you believe there's a lot of petitions just outstanding 427 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: out there that people just haven't bothered to send in 428 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: there are you know, we we have sent out more 429 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: than thirty thousand separate packages of petitions and uh, you know, 430 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: some people they think at the time, oh, this is 431 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: a great idea, let me get signatures, and then life happens. 432 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: They get you know, COVID, or they go on vacation, 433 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: or you know, business get busy. And so what we're 434 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: really hoping people will do is go to there there there, encounter, 435 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: pull that packet out, get those signatures in the next 436 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: three days. Even if you can only come up with 437 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: a five or ten signatures, if everyone did that, we 438 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: will be able to hit this number. But it's been 439 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: pretty difficult, guys. Getting this on the ballot, getting a 440 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 1: public vote would be a real game changer for us 441 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: in California and would give the good guys, the little 442 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: guys a chance to have a fair fight to stop 443 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: the tax. Yeah. I imagine if this appeared on the ballot, 444 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: it would have a great chance of passing. Well, guess 445 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: what they put a title on this measure. That's really bad. Now, 446 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: it's not catastrophically bad, lick what they did with the 447 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: gas tax. But we do need to work to educate people. 448 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: But if we're not on the ballot, if we don't 449 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: make it on the ballot, we have no chance at all. 450 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: But I do believe that we will prevail because I 451 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: think people are getting so sick and tired of Latin 452 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: and Greek being printed on their ballot because they know 453 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: that there's there's a manipulation going on, and it almost 454 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: feels like intimidating to open up that ballot because you know, 455 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: the titles and summaries are so confusing. This is for November, 456 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: if you can get it in there, this is for 457 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: November twenty twenty four. Now we were not able to 458 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: get the signatures. Yeah, but but my view was, even 459 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: if we can't get it on in twenty two, uh, 460 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: let's let's not you know, back away from it. Let's 461 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: get it on in twenty four plus, we're sitting on 462 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: a million three signatures and that's quite an accomplishment. We 463 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: just need these final signatures because, as you are seeing 464 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: with the George Gascone recall, you can't just say, oh, 465 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: I've got the million. You need to have the extras 466 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: so that you can concussion it and you know, make 467 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: sure that you qualify with some comfort. All right, Carl, Right, 468 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: Carl again, the website is opposeatykes dot com Oppose taxis 469 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: dot com. All right, call Demio from Reform California, thanks 470 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: for coming on again. Thanks much. Opposed tax Hikes dot Com. 471 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: Because you know it won't be on November's ballot, but 472 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: it's one of the rare times when you actually get 473 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: a ballot measure that is really about the taxpayers. Right now, 474 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: looking at the November ballot, the ones that are standing out. 475 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: Or this fight over online gaming, I mean, how does 476 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: that affect most people? I don't care, But it's you, 477 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna be, You're gonna be. It's a blizzard of 478 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: ads already and it's still July. And then there's one 479 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: to raise taxes on the wealthy again for electric cars. 480 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: How do they do this, is it? Maybe the legislature 481 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: helps the legislature organization working hard to actually help real 482 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: taxpayers fight back. And it's a struggle. Yeah, if you 483 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: have something like a union sponsor it, yeah, it automatically 484 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: gets the put of all the dudes money behind it 485 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: and the signatures pile up. Then they got a lot 486 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: of organization for this kind of stuff. And but I 487 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: you know, and again with the gaming one, you have 488 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 1: these big gaming companies of the tribes money too, right, 489 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: they have unlimited amounts of money from running gambling operations, 490 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: which should give you an idea how stupid gambling is. 491 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: Exactly because all these corporations, including the Indian tribes, they 492 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: they've got just billions and billions of dollars in profits, 493 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: and they have plenty of money to spend to get 494 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: referendums so that they can have more billions and billions 495 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: in profits. Exactly right, it's worth it to them to 496 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: spend all this money on advertising because he could really 497 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: really give them bigger worked really well. All right, when 498 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: we come back, a couple of stories about gas and 499 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: air coming up next John and Ken show, We're gonna 500 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: be talking to a woman who was also attacked by 501 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: the same man that attacked the Olympic volleyball player. You 502 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: probably heard that story. She was attacked in downtown LA 503 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: by a man with a pipe. This is what he does. 504 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: He attacks women with golf clubs, hammers, pipes. What if 505 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: you can get his hands on for a weapon. And 506 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: he's been doing this quite a few times. It's amazing. 507 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: Still on the street. One attack on our guest next hours, 508 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. But there he was in twenty twenty two 509 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: attacking the volleyball player. We'll bring this to you right 510 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: after the news at three oh five on the John 511 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: and Ken Show today, Old Joe Biden was supposed to 512 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: declare a climate emergency, but apparently they've deferred that. I 513 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: think they were trying to play off the headlines that 514 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: it's very hot in Europe and thought, oh, you know, 515 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: people will understand if we declare a climate emergency emergency 516 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: if they compared to when Trump declared a border emergency 517 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: and started working on the border wall. Yeah, well he 518 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: actually started building a wall which would stop the migrates. 519 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: That that's useful. I don't know what Biden could could build. 520 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: Always going to curtail all air travel. You can't fly. 521 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: It's done. That's it. We're all grounded. Yeah, okay, that 522 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: would be this big move. No, I'm making that up. 523 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what although, although if they proposed that, 524 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me. They wouldn't surprise I mean the 525 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: original If they rationed, you made to a certain number 526 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: of plan trips a year. This crowd would like to 527 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: do that. As long as they are not affected, they 528 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: would be exempt themselves. Well, because they have important official 529 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: business right right, they as government officials, they would exempt. 530 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: You just want to go see Grandma or something that world, 531 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's like the COVID situation. It's 532 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: not about the issue. It's about control. But hysteria causes 533 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: people to cower and go along. It's all ties together 534 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: what we were discussing, what you were saying. Most people 535 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: just go along, right. The best way to get them 536 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: to go along is to wear them out by scaring them. 537 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: So you frighten them, you scare them. It's okay, I 538 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: don't want to hurt the planet. I don't want to 539 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: get sick or make someone else sick. Okay, it's all 540 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: for the best, and it's the same playbook and it works, 541 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: and you have people terrified that the planet's going to 542 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: boil over, terrified that everyone's gonna catch COVID and die. 543 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: And I can't believe how many people I've ridden into 544 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: were actually afraid that they were going to kill other 545 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: people if they went out unprotected. This bling brings us 546 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden's what a title Special Envoy for Climate 547 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: This is John Kerry, who, believe it or not, once 548 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: ran for president. This is perfect. Yeah, and almost one. 549 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: He did look look good against Bush and the early 550 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: returns that year he was one state short. If Ohio 551 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: had flipped, he would have won. I remember you came 552 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: to work that day and you thought Kerry was gonna win. 553 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: You were like, oh my god, Carry's gonna They had 554 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: big headlines. You remember how the Drudge Report they were 555 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: looking at the exit polls and the exit poles had 556 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: the Network exit polls had said Kerry was going to win, 557 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,239 Speaker 1: but they were wrong. What he's been doing now is 558 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: using his family's private jet to travel around the world 559 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: talking about climate change. The plane has admitted more than 560 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: three hundred metric tons of carbon dioxide since he took 561 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: the post in January of last year. It's a gulf 562 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: Stream GIVSP forty eight trips lasting more than sixty hours. 563 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: Seven hundred fifteen thousand, eight hundred and eighty six pounds 564 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: or a three hundred and twenty five metric tons of 565 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: carbon dioxide had been emitted by Kerry on his trips 566 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: around the world. And he married an heiress to the 567 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: Heinz Ketchup fortune. Now she's dead, Teresa Heinz Teresa Heinz Cary. Yeah, 568 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: but it's hit. Her money is what he's living off of. Well, 569 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: this is what's weird. The jet he's flying in belongs 570 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: to a charter company, Flying Squirrel LLC. Carry owns more 571 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: than a million dollars stake in the company. No, wait 572 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: a minute, if you're the climate envoy, that's really hypocritical 573 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: to own a big investment in a private jet company. 574 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: Are you out of your mind? It belonged to his 575 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: wife's family, and so what sell it? It does comport 576 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: with what you're doing. He's a phony. He's a complete, 577 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: utter funny. He's like Leonardo DiCaprio. They preach to the dirty, 578 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: unwatched peasants that you shouldn't fly planes, you shouldn't drive cars, 579 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: you shouldn't uh burn gas, you shouldn't use electricity. That 580 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: they that that's that. But it's it's for the it's 581 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: for the dirty people. It's not for a celebrity, a 582 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: US senator, it's not for that. For for people like that, 583 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: they're special. Why couldn't he just fly a commercial plane. 584 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: You'd still get to his destination because he needs flexibility 585 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: to can just hop on a private plane. It's because 586 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: every human in the world, if you could have access 587 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: to a private plane over a commercial jet, we would 588 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: all take the private plane because of course we would. Convenient. 589 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: Life is much easier, that's all. He's just like, ever 590 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: get the riff raft, just get right on the plane 591 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: and go. He's like every other anis in the world. 592 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: Remember we went to the Republican Convention and a private plane. 593 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: That was nice. The only time I was ever on one. 594 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: It was nice to just go to an airport. It's 595 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: great on the plane and fly away. One flight. I 596 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: was sold. It's like, yeah, I could live like this 597 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: for the rest of my There in a few hours, 598 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh yeah, I could live like I've been 599 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: traveling every weekend. This is great. Instead, now that we're 600 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: scheduling vacations. Again, there's a certain amount of dread about, 601 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, having me go to the airport. No exactly. Yeah, 602 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: I always have like a pit in my stomach the 603 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: morning we wake up, it's like, what are we going 604 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: to run into? What atrocity? What indignity? What hassle. So 605 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: the three hundred and twenty five metric tons that have 606 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: been emitted from his trips compares to this, the typical 607 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: passenger car amidst about four point six metric tons of 608 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: carbon dioxide a year. So think about that. That an 609 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: entire year you drive in your car four point six 610 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: metric tons. Since he's been the climate envoy for Biden, 611 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty five metric tons, because none of 612 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: them really care and none of the stuff they're doing 613 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: is lowering the temperature anyway. On his way to another 614 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: Petersburg Climate Dialogue meeting and Germany, they stay in great 615 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: hotels and they drink really tasty kanyak late at night 616 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 1: in the Oh, yeah, kanya it's good food, it's good drink. 617 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: It's your three hundred dollar a bottle wine. It's They 618 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: sit on thrones. They sit on thrones. They have a 619 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: young half naked women feeding them grapes. They exchange stories 620 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: of days of yr. Yeah. Now that's and that's how 621 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: they look at themselves. They look at themselves as special. 622 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: You know, John Kerry is a dud, but he graduated 623 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 1: from the Ivy League. So and then then he marries 624 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: one of the richest women in the country. They asked 625 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: one of the climate people, Daniel Turner, executive director of 626 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: Power of the Future. He said, at what point will 627 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: John Kerry and all the world leaders who care about 628 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: climate change just jump on a zoom call. Yeah, yeah, 629 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 1: that doesn't admit much carbon, doesn't. Oh no, zoom call 630 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: again is for the little people, all right?
