Doing drugs leads to jail time unless 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: you get treatment. And if you're selling fentanyl, that's going 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: to become a much more serious felony and you'll go 15 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: to prison if you kill somebody after selling them the fentinil. 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: That's the highlights of it. So Honda Center, you have 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: to take the ball Road entrance one to six to 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: sign the petitions.

Rebecca Grossman 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: is the socialite, the husband of Peter Grossman, founder of 24 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: the Grossman Burn Center, and Rebecca was driving her white Mercedes. 25 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: She hit two young boys, Mark and Jacob Ascander, killed them, 26 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: says the prosecution. The defense has claimed that the boys 27 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: were hit by her boyfriend Scott Erickson first, even though 28 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: the damage was all in Rebecca's car. And where are we? 29 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: Is the trial over? Is the jury deliberating it? What's 30 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: going on? 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: No, we're not there. 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: Today is all about restating the evidence with these closing 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: arguments and instructing the jury on the rules for hit 34 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: and run and eve. There are two counts of gross 35 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: vehicular manslaughter or two counts of second degree murder. Now, 36 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: prosecutors opened this morning after jury instructions, and the defense 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: just started. Now this is all important because the worst 38 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: parts of the case must be brought up again, I mean, 39 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 3: complete with cute pictures of the boys displayed on monitors 40 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: this morning, and that includes, you know. 41 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: The graphic nature of their death. The horrific injuries. 42 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: But it's important to remember that many of these emotionally 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 3: tragic details are not directly relevant to if Grossman was speeding, 44 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: that she knew what she was doing was deadly, and 45 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: so forth. In order to distinguish between manslaughter and murder, 46 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: the boys were killed, and that's horrible, But this is 47 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: this part is about who did it and the implied 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: alleged malice involved, and that's where these details matter. So 49 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: for just to explain that for second degree murder, the 50 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 3: jury must find Grossman had malice a forethought in this 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: case implied malice. The other type would be express malice. 52 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: That would be like shooting or stabbing someone with the 53 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: intent to kill them. 54 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: But implied mallets doesn't mean that she meant to kill, but. 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: That a reasonable person would know that speeding the alleged 56 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 3: eighty one miles per hour and a forty five mile 57 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: per hour zone could kill. Otherwise, a lesser charge must 58 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: be chosen. This could be a vehicular manslaughter with gross 59 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: or ordinary negligence. The difference between gross vehicular manslaughter and 60 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: implied malice is the knowledge. For vehicular manslaughter, prosecutors must 61 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: prove a person engaged in a speed contest, and we've 62 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: heard evidence that she was racing, that they didn't yield 63 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: to the pedestrian that would be going through the crosswalk, 64 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: allegedly through the crosswalk, killing the kids, and that she 65 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: didn't immediately stop and render aid. And as we know, 66 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: or at least as evidence has been presented, her car 67 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: kept going for about three tenths of a mile. All 68 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: of these carry very different potential sentences. And all of 69 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 3: this is assuming the jury does reach a verdict and 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: that Grossman is actually convicted and man once the jury 71 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: gets the John, I can imagine that they have to 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: go through each one of these analyzes. And remember that 73 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: the defense put up a witness to dispute everything that 74 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: prosecutors alleged I mean, and so there's just a ton 75 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: of information and all these really important details to go through. 76 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this case yesterday as I was 77 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: driving around, because part of the defense explanation is Scott Erickson, 78 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: the boyfriend, actually hit the kids right and they bounced 79 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: off his car, and then she hit the boys and 80 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: the boys ended up far down the road from her 81 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: impact and they were going through how Ericson's car was higher, 82 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: so the boys would have been hit to the ground, 83 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: whereas Rebecca's car was lower, so she would launch them 84 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: into the air. Is that about what they were saying. 85 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: That's what there's And prosecutors again, they went through all 86 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 3: the different pieces of evidence today, the black box data 87 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: show in the eighty one miles per hour, the valume 88 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: and alcohol in her system. Again, this is prosecutors alleging 89 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: these things. And one of the things that also came 90 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 3: to up was what you're talking about the kind of force. 91 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: This was what the prosecutor said today that Grossman allegedly 92 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: hit the boys with was like taking a crane, hooking 93 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: it to the back of her vehicle, raising it to 94 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: a twelve story building and dropping it. And that caused 95 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: five inches of damage on her Mercedes by the eleven 96 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 3: year old's body. And the point of all that is 97 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 3: the prosecutor say that kind of force is not the 98 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: result of a child bouncing off one car and landing 99 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: on the second car. 100 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking about, because what they say 101 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: about Erickson's car, the boy would have hit the ground 102 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: and then bounced back up and then hit Grossman's car, 103 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: and that makes no sense. 104 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 3: And then she would propel the bottom just to clarify, 105 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: the boy would have been bounced up in the air, 106 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: and then the idea is at least the defensive theory 107 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: is is that, I mean seconds later her car is 108 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 3: coming up, so before he has a chance to hit 109 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: the ground, it's perfectly hitting his body and then tossing 110 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: him two hundred and fifty four yards. The physics is strange, 111 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 3: but they had witnesses who would break that down. 112 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: That sounds like the bullet that made six right turns 113 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: to kill John F. Kennedy, the magic bullet. I mean, 114 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: I mean that that really that Tony Busby, that is 115 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: preposterous theory. That really is I mean the physics a 116 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: little more. 117 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: Yeah ahead, let me just give you a little bit 118 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: more of why that matters. 119 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: First of all, I just ran down here when they started, 120 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: and their opening line started with a sign on the 121 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: TV monitors in court that reads justice for All, and 122 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 3: Buzzby started off by saying, if it pleased the court, 123 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: where is Scott Erickson? 124 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: And I'm quoting him? Why have they made no effort 125 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: to find him or even look at his vehicle? Why 126 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: did he lie? Why did he make threats? I think 127 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: we all know why. There's a lot of interest here, 128 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 2: but Erickson is not. 129 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: Here, so why call him? Why was? 130 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: It's the greatest. 131 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: Point, that's the hugest hole in this investigation. I mean, 132 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: the prosecutor said, hey, look, this investigation was not perfect. 133 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: But then they go back to the black box, the 134 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: eight witnesses that saw her speeding, the only her stuff 135 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 3: in the car, only debrief from her car found. But 136 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: one of the interesting things is about Ericson's SUV. That 137 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: Orange County DA investigator Michael Hale, he was called as 138 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: a rebuttal witness to refute the defense experts who claimed 139 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 3: that the data was flawed, and along with that testimony, 140 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: they asked him why was Ericson never asked to be 141 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: looked at? 142 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: Why was his vehicle never looked at? And then when? 143 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: And they also asked in response to a question from 144 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: the defense, Hale said he was never asked to find 145 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: Ericson's car and see what the front end looked like. 146 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: Jurors were told that Ericson told investigators he was driving 147 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: a two thousand and seven Mercedes the night of the incident, 148 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: but images from the video so it was more like 149 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 3: more likely his twenty sixteen Mercedes. And then the investigator 150 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: admitted that he found Ericson used the same license plate 151 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: on both vehicles, which, if true, would be a felony. 152 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: That's all. That is what the defense is calling reasonable doubt. 153 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Okay, So why not call Ericson to the stand, And 154 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: why not have Rebecca Grossman testifying her own defense because 155 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: she was there. She would have seen it if Scott 156 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: hit the boys first and they bounced into her car somehow. 157 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: But now, one of the biggest thing about either. 158 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: Right and then, and first of all, the jurors were 159 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 3: told that it is a constitutional right not to testify 160 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 3: and that the jury cannot hold it cannot read anything 161 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 3: into that. Well, I was allowed to not testify for 162 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: whatever reason because the burden of proof is on the prosecution. 163 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'd hold it against her, and I don't 164 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: have to tell anybody that that's what I'm doing, because 165 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: if they're right, she would say, so I would if 166 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm street racing with my friend he hits two kids 167 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: and they bounce off my car and I'm getting all 168 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: the blame and I might go to prison for life. Oh, 169 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure as hell on the stand saying oh, it's 170 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: this guy over here, he hit him first. 171 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: But remember John, she would then also have to answer 172 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: all the other points of information, the black box data, 173 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: the only the debris, all that she would have to 174 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: say under risk of perjury. So it's a lot of 175 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: the times for defense lawyers it's not worth the risk. 176 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: One more question, has it ever come up that maybe 177 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: Ericson was getting special treatment because he was a baseball 178 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: player and a former Dodger. 179 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 3: And the defense has that That comes up a lot. Yeah, 180 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 3: the defense says, it's it's it's clear that that the 181 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: prosecution was never interested in justice. 182 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: That's what they're saying. They never were interested in even. 183 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 3: Checking this guy's car or calling him in or tracking 184 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: him down. But again, there's there's a lot of evidence 185 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: on the prosecution side to dispute those claims. 186 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean, eighty one miles an hour alcohol valium, all the. 187 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: Prince of of her on the boy. 188 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: Yep, Yeah, the dents, the dents on her car, yeah, 189 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: crash data.

They have really fouled 222 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: things up, and you will see. We will start though 223 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: with Tennessee Senator Rand Paul. I'm sorry, Kentucky Senator Ran Paul, 224 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: and he was in he was at the Reagan Library 225 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: and see me Valley, and he gave a speech and 226 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: told the audience never ever let Gavin Newsom anywhere near 227 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: the White House. Let's play the clip. 228 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 4: As regular people who love our country, how do we 229 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 4: let our legislators know we want. 230 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: Our country back? We live in California. 231 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: What can we do? 232 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 5: Never ever let Gavin Newsom anywhere near the White House. 233 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: I think we were united on that one. 234 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 4: Great great well Adam Schiff as well. 235 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: I'm just relaying what I'm here. It would be a 236 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: competition to whose worst between those two. And here's why 237 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: Rand Paul said, never again should should we let them 238 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: lock us down? Never again should we be put into 239 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: this situation. Never again we should allow them to come 240 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: into our schools. Never again should we let them set 241 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: foot into one of our churches. Liberty requires eternal vigilance, 242 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: and I'm going to keep fighting with every breath I have. 243 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: Rand Paul was correct several years ago and going after 244 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci and all Fauci's nonsense funding the research in 245 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: Wuhan that led to the enhanced coronavirus that came and 246 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: killed a million people in America. He was onto the 247 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: Fauci scam early on. He's a doctor, he's got an MD. 248 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: He's an aptometrist, I believe, and he's been in the 249 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: Senate for a long time. He's also a libertarian style Republican. 250 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: He believes in this concept which I couldn't believe is 251 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: fading away in our culture to some extent, it's freedom. 252 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: And when you look back on it now, and I 253 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: knew we would get to this day, but the idea 254 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: that the government was shutting down our schools and a 255 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: lot of kids couldn't get educated for a year and 256 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: a half. That is so atrocious that they wouldn't even 257 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: do in communist countries, that they were shutting down church services, 258 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: that we were giving all kinds. Remember for a while, 259 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: you couldn't even go to the beach, you couldn't play tennis, 260 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: and they were wrong about so much of it. And 261 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: then forcing vaccines or you can get fired, or you 262 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: can't go to school. And now what did we find 263 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: out yesterday? I don't know if you heard, but it 264 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: turns out there are quite a few side effects, including 265 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: side effects that on the heart, inflammation of the heart muscle. 266 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: It's not an overwhelming number, but it's a number, and 267 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: it's a risk. And a lot of young male athletes 268 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: got affected by that, A lot of young males in 269 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: general got affected by it, and other people as well. 270 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I think we should have enough 271 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,479 Speaker 1: freedom that if we don't want to take a vaccine 272 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: because hasn't been researched very much and we don't know 273 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: the side effects and side effects were popping up right away, 274 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: I should have the right to say, look, I don't 275 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: want that, I'm not taking that risk. Sorry, But had 276 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: so many people were scolded and browbeaten and threatened. You threatened, 277 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: you're threatened with your job because you want to take 278 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: you don't want to take a medical treatment that hasn't 279 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: researched very much. Seriously, that went on in America, that 280 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: really did, and all these smug, arrogant, pompous scolds trying 281 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: to force you into and I got some of the vaccines. 282 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: At some point I decided to stop because just there's 283 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: a limit to how many foreign bodies one injected into 284 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: my system. But you know that can't be repeated. I 285 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: mean that, really this really was a dictatorship, and it 286 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: all came under Gavinussom. They didn't do this a lot 287 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: of other states, and they didn't have any different outcomes. 288 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: That's what's really funny. All the different ways different governors 289 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: or different countries treated the whole crisis, outcomes were pretty 290 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: similar across the board. We just happened to have this 291 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: control freak dictatorial philosophy that came from Gavin Newsom and 292 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: the legislative Democrats, because really, ultimately would drives these people's 293 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: control control over the most minor aspect of your life. 294 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: But Rand Paul is right, never again. Now there are 295 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: a number of other there's more bad news, and I'm 296 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: going to get to it in the next segment. We've 297 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: been telling you about this too for years.

Well they've gone through 302 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: the roof, and now people are really upset. And now 303 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: Democratic politicians are feeling the heat and they're starting to 304 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: panic because people are so upset. And by the way, 305 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: the budget deficit is huge, much bigger than they thought, 306 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: even with the highest taxes that we pay in the nation. 307 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: And the only good thing about that is it looks 308 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: like socialized medical care in California is dead for this year. 309 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: Tell you about this.

It's jail or its treatment. Those are 333 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: the only two options. You get a choice, go to treatment, 334 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: you go to jail. And third thing is fentanyl sellers 335 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: really clamps down on their activities. You get real prison 336 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: time and eventually, if you kill somebody, you'll go to 337 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: prison for murder. So those are the three of the 338 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: main components we will get into all the details tomorrow 339 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: again one until four. We'll be doing the show from 340 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: Lot for at the Honda Center in Orange County and 341 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: by the way, all six southern California counties. Uh, you'll 342 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: there'll be petitions for you to sign LA Orange County, Riverside, 343 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura. So if you want to 344 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: take a good drive and have a fun afternoon, it's 345 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: gonna be sunny tomorrow, so we're gonna have the best 346 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: weather of the week. Now onto the gross mismanagement from 347 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: the boob. That's our Governor Gavin Newsom. By the way, 348 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: Uh oh yeah, we're gonna do Alex Stone first. Okay, sorry, yeah, 349 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: let's do Alex Stone first and then we'll get to 350 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: I want to hear the story. Well, well you'll have to. 351 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: You'll have to wait. Now you can barging in on 352 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: the show like this, you know, all right, fine, I 353 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: love wait and listen. No, I'm too excited. I shuffled 354 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: the papers and all right, Alex, what do you got here? 355 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: We're talking unruly passengers of another Yeah, another big case 356 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: that went on. Yeah, well, let's talk about it. There's 357 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: been two hundred case of unruly passengers yeah, already this 358 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: year and we're what a month and twenty one days 359 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: end of the year, and you can add another one 360 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: to it. So the latest one being American Airlines flight 361 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: twelve nineteen. It came yesterday afternoon. They were taking off 362 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: out to Albuquerque. They were lifting off for Chicago. Passengers 363 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: on board could hear a guy creating a commotion. He 364 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: told the man sitting next to him, I got to 365 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: get off this plane. Pulled the cover off of the 366 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: emergency exit handle on the overwing exit, started working to 367 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: open the door and was somewhat successful and being able 368 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: to do it. They were still low enough at about 369 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: twenty thousand feet that you get higher and the pressure 370 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: difference is so great that it's almost impossible to open 371 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: up a door in flight. But he was to do 372 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: it where get a little bit of a crack in 373 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: the door. People on board reacted. They pounced on him. 374 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: This guy was on board telling us. 375 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 5: There's probably four or five people and we all managed 376 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 5: to kind of rip him off the door which he 377 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 5: was trying to open them and get him into the aisle. 378 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,239 Speaker 1: And they got him into the aisle. They tackled him, 379 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: they held him down, They struggled with Once. 380 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 5: He was in the aisle, I sat on him while 381 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 5: some other people held his legs, other people holding onto 382 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 5: his arms. 383 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: So John then flight attendants brought the group duct tape 384 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: and zip ties, and they duct taped the guy's legs 385 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: together and zip tied his hands behind him, and the 386 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: pilots were then simultaneously turning the plane around. They made 387 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: emergency emergency landing in Albuquerque. But the part of this 388 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: that the people on board are saying really freaked them 389 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: out was that they could hear the door opened a 390 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: little bit and they could feel the pressure difference that Again, 391 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: they weren't high enough to make that a lot more difficult, 392 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: but they were low enough where he was able to 393 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: open it up a little bit. Before they ripped him 394 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: out of there. This guy blake a blaze ward. He 395 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: also jumped on the guy. He said he could feel 396 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: the door open, I could. 397 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 6: Hear the actual difference in pressure. There is a whistling, 398 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 6: And so we got him. We got him out of 399 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 6: his seat, We unbuckled the harness, pulled him down onto 400 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 6: the ground, and that's where we applied the duct tape 401 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 6: and one of floscuffs. 402 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: When they got on the ground. Albuquerque police they boarded, 403 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 1: took the guy off, he was already restrained by everybody 404 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: on board. They handed him over to the FBI. The 405 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: FBI is investigating. We're waiting to see if he's going 406 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: to be charged. If they determine its mental health crisis, 407 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: then then he'll go down a different road because he 408 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: won't he won't have charges against him. But I mean, 409 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: pretty pretty freaky. There was another one today, New York 410 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: to Lax, a United flight. They had to divert to Chicago. 411 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: They're still waiting to still ad to Lax that now. 412 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: We found out from sources. Initially it sounded like there 413 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: was an unruly passenger on there as well. Turned out 414 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: that was a written bomb threat that was found in 415 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: the lavatory. Nice and so they had to land, everybody 416 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: had to get off, They had to search the Dreamliner. 417 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: Everybody had to be searched on board in their bags. 418 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: So they're waiting to continue on now. So two of 419 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: these in a twenty four hour period. What is it 420 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: supposed to be that easy to push open the emergency door. No, 421 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: So there's physics that come into play based on pressure difference. 422 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: But if you're low enough, yeah, it can be because 423 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: they want you to be able to open it up 424 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: on the ground. I didn't know that. Yeah, there was 425 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: some kind of an emergency. But then once you get 426 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: up and you're at a high enough altitude because the 427 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: doors are you know, you got to pull them in 428 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: and then throw them out the window because it presses up. 429 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: As not to get too dorky here, but as the 430 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: fuselagic spans as you're going up, just like your bag 431 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: of chips and your water bottle and everything expands as 432 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: the er expands as you go higher, that pushes a 433 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: door more out, so you're not able to pull it in, 434 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: and it's you know, glued by pressure up against the 435 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: side of the plane in the plug that it is. 436 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: And then once you get lower than that, pressure difference 437 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: is less and you can pull it in and then 438 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: push it out. But they were you know, like twenty 439 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: thousand feet, so they weren't all that high well, which 440 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean is good because if he had been able 441 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: to get it open at all higher up could have 442 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: been a very different outcome if he had been you know, 443 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: he man and been able to do it. But they 444 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: were low enough where if they had not stopped him, 445 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: he could have done it and opened up that door 446 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: and then jumped out or done whatever he wanted to do, 447 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: because if he was on drugs, if he was on meth, 448 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: that gives guys superhuman strength. Yeah, and he might have 449 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: been able to do more. Damn is that no matter 450 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: who you are, that you're not going to be able 451 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: to do it at thirty five thousand feet. But I 452 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: don't know that. There have been people who have tried, 453 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: and typically they're taken down before they can do it 454 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: unless the door is missing its bolts. Well there is 455 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: that there are no bolts, then it goes right out. 456 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: Two hundred reports already this year and it's it's just 457 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: past the middle of February. That seems like a very 458 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: high number. Yeah, it's not compared to the pandemic when 459 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: there were all the mask fights on board. Remember there'd 460 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: be like ten or twelve a day that we've been 461 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: talking about of this one and that one, and some 462 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: are more egregious than others. But in a normal time now, Yeah, 463 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: whether it be alcohol being involved, mental health stuff, anxiety 464 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: which I guess would be mental health rebuild, panic attacks 465 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: and feel like they've got to get out out of there. 466 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: I just don't remember this. Is this this being reported 467 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: more or I don't remember. I think it's a little 468 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: bit of it's a little bit of everything. I think 469 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: it's being reported more than that we pay more attention 470 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: to it. It seems that, you know, there are a 471 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: lot more people who get on and they're stressed out, 472 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: and they're angry, and they lash out and they don't 473 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: want to do what the flight attendant says. Maybe a 474 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: little bit of entitlement there and other things, and maybe 475 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: flight crews reacting differently were maybe back in the day, 476 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: not so much opening up a door, but some of 477 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: the others. If somebody yells at a flight attendant or 478 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: you know, ignores what they're saying, maybe in twenty years ago, 479 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: flight attendants would have been you know, well that guy's 480 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: a jerk and continued on. And now they're going to 481 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: tell the captain. The captain's going to report it, and 482 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: they're going to turn the plane around, and that the 483 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: FBI is going to board and instigate it. So going 484 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: on a plane, you're going into combat. Well yeah, and 485 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: by the way, there is another one this week, not unruly, 486 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: but of San Francisco to Boston flight Boeing seven fifty 487 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: seven thirty year old aircraft and part of the wing 488 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: ripped off and I saw that. Yeah, they had to 489 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: make an emergency landing in Denver. Was the leading edge 490 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: of VAT said. It was a bowling plane boweying. Yeah, 491 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: that was a bowing seven fifty seven. Yeah, a lot 492 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: of them still in the air, but they're very old. Boy, 493 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: oh boy, this has become like a full time beat, 494 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: hasn't it. Yep, the crisis in the air beat Planes 495 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: in peril. Alex Stone, very good, Thank you for coming 496 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: on with us. All Right, now I got to hear 497 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: the story.

She writes for the Southern 509 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: California News Group, which is the Orange County Register of 510 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Daily News, the Riverside Press Enterprise, and 511 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: other local papers. It's a big chain down here, and 512 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: she's got something. Well, this actually is funny. It's not funny, 513 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: but it's funny. The La County Blue Ribbon Commission on 514 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: Homelessness has recommended the creation of another commission on homelessness, 515 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: an Executive Committee on Homelessness, like a spinoff from the 516 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: Commission on Homelessness. So you got the Commission on Homelessness 517 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: and the Executive Committee on Homelessness. And of course homelessness 518 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: keeps getting worse and worse, and we keep spending billions 519 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: and billions more and they keep having more and more meetings. 520 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Susan Shelley at three o'clock, 521 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: Todd Spitcher at three point thirty. Remember tomorrow you're going 522 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: to the Honda Center, Yes you are.

Honda Center will 524 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: be there from one to four, signing from one to six, 525 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: and you have to take the Ball Road entrance. More 526 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: details to come next hour. All right, I'm finally going 527 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: to get to the Newsom stuff. The California budget. The 528 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: deficit is now exploded to seventy three billion dollars. That 529 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: is a big number. That is a huge number. Newsom 530 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: and the Democratic legislature has wildly mismanaged the state. And 531 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: it falls on Newsom because the legislature is full of 532 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: crazy people. But Newsom has the ability to veto and 533 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: he didn't. He signed into law a ridiculous amount of 534 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: spending such as such as free healthcare for illegal aliens, 535 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: all of them, no matter what the age, free healthcare. 536 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: Randall mcgrave and did you see the bill allusion or 537 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: hear the Bill mallusion report from Fox? We got thousands 538 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: of people coming over the border in Hukumba, east of 539 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: San Diego, thousands coming over and every one of them 540 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: gets free healthcare from Gavin Newsom. And now we're seventy 541 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 1: three billion dollars in deficit. That's funny is this is 542 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: by the way, from the Legislative Analyst's office. These are 543 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: the professional accountants, supposedly nonpartisan, right, so they're trying to 544 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: tell the governor it's hey, you're seventy three billion out 545 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: of whack. Now, back in December, they told him that 546 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: it was going to be fifty eight billion out of 547 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: whack and then sixty eight billion out of whack. And 548 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: he complained saying, no, no, it's gonna be a hack, 549 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: that it's not that bad. Well, no, it's it's gotten 550 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: worse and they're gonna have to make big cuts. This 551 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: is the highest taxed state in the nation and he's 552 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: seventy three billion dollars out of whack, the highest tax state. Now, 553 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: the only good thing about this is it looks like 554 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: socialized healthcare is on hold for at least another year, 555 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: what they call single payer. And the way this was 556 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: would work, and I'm not making this up, is we 557 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: would pay four hundred billion dollars in extra taxes and 558 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: then the state of California would pay all our healthcare bills. 559 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: So on top of the highest taxes in the state, 560 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: we would have to pay another four hundred billion dollars 561 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: to the state and then trust that the system works 562 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: because all the other systems in California work so well. 563 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: You remember the unemployment payouts a few years ago during COVID, 564 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: and we blew over thirty billion dollars in fraud. Yeah, 565 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: like the DMVY sure. I mean, how many agencies do 566 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: we have to go through? None of this works. None 567 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: of the agencies work because you're dealing with government workers. 568 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, at least with private healthcare, you get to 569 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: choose the healthcare company and you pay for it and 570 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: you have some control over your life. But you're going 571 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: to turn it over to Gavin Newsom in the legislature. 572 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: Four hundred billion dollars and this is all in new taxes. Well, 573 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: since there's seventy three billion in debt. The California Speaker 574 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: Robert Reeves the Democrats said, well, these are good ideas, 575 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: but we need to see how this is funded. It's 576 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: a good idea, but it's a tough tough sell, especially 577 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: in the budget climate we're experiencing. Now. There's an Assembly 578 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: bill twenty two hundred. It would be called Guaranteed Healthcare 579 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: for All Good Lord. It's written by a one of 580 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: these idiot progressives named Ash Camera boy. He's an ash 581 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's a heat. You can't tell Ash Camera 582 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: from San Jose. A great idea could cost four hundred 583 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: billion dollars. That is larger than the entire state budget. Okay, 584 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: Our entire state budget is about three hundred billion, and 585 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: we're seventy three billion dollars in deficit. And then this 586 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: ash wants another four hundred billion added to the three 587 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: hundred billion, added to the highest taxes in the state. 588 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: This is insanity. They should all be taken out in 589 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: a net and put in a mental institution, all of them. 590 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: But this is Newsome. This is Newsom's idea running for president. 591 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: Not only are we overrun with criminals and homeless people, 592 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: but now we have a massive deficit with all that 593 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: tax money coming in. I got another minute, one more thing. 594 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: Here are utility bills because of their obsession with climate change, 595 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: right like, we're going to stop climate change right here 596 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: in Californi all by ourselves. So they went to solar energy, 597 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: they went to wind energy, they went to all kinds 598 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: of taxes and thieves and this and that. Now utility bills, 599 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 1: electric bills have shot up up to one hundred and 600 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: twenty five percent increase over the last decade. One hundred 601 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: and twenty five percent increase. Here's a Democratic assemblyman, bark 602 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: Berman said, Californians are fed up. My constituents are pissed off. 603 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: I know because they told me over and over again 604 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: at every community coffee that I had in the fall 605 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: and winter, the rates keep going up. Well, yeah, we 606 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: told you that too, because this wind and solar experiment 607 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: is wildly expensive. And they want us to switch to 608 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: electric cars. So they jacked up the electricity rates by 609 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five percent, and then they want 610 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: us to use more electricity with electric cars because we're 611 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: going to stop climate change. I cannot believe how insane 612 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: this is. And there's a lot what they're what they 613 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: want to do is they want to turn the electricity 614 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: system come up with a similar payment system like with taxes, 615 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: Like the wealthier you are, the more you pay in taxes. Well, 616 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: the wealthier you are, you pay more for electricity, and 617 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: poorer people pay less. Because the poor and the middle 618 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: class are going to get whacked with all these increases. 619 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: And it just occurred to them that oh, they can't 620 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: afford it, can they. So now all electricity is not 621 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: going to be the same. If you go to the 622 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: store and you're wealthy, you don't pay more for chicken 623 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: or for a hamburger, but for electricity, your electricity is 624 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: more expensive than a poor person's electricity. This is how 625 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: badly they have fed up the state. This is what 626 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: they're down to on this entire administration, and this entire 627 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: legislature needs to be flushed. It is incompetent, destructive, This 628 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: is anarchy. This will be a very entertaining year. A 629 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: few minutes now after Debra's news at three o'clock, Susan Shelley, 630 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 1: she's a writer with the Southern California news group, Orange 631 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: County Register, LA Daily News and many others, and she's 632 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: going to tell us about the La County Blue Ribbon 633 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: Commission on Homelessness, and they've been very effective and they 634 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: now want to create an Executive Committee on homelessness. So 635 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: we'll have a Blue Ribbon Commission and an executive committee. Again, 636 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: not making this stuff up.
