1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody, We're back. Should we take a John and 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Ken instant poll on what on what are you more 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: excited about? Biden's State of the Union or Lebron getting 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: the all time NBA scoring record. Lebron I'm gonna watch tonight. 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are. You're not gonna 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: watch old Joe. No, that's that's really stupid. I mean, 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 1: I know I've said this every year for like twenty years, 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: but honestly, it is impossible to imagine why anybody would 9 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: watch him give a speech that he didn't write for 10 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: an hour and he's just gonna lie and bs the 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: whole time, the same crap every year. I mean, it 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's president. Even when Trump did this, it's 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: just silly. Even Trump was boring at it. It's a 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: pep rally for one party and the other party just 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: kind of sits there. So what's yeah, right, it's all choreographed. 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: Everybody stands up and they sit down, and they stand 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: up and they sit down, and they applaud if it's 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: their guy, and they don't applaud if it's not their guy. 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: And I'm looking NB. She had a poll only twenty 20 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: eight percent of Americans believe Biden has the necessary mental 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: and physical health to be president twenty eight percent. He's 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: lost almost three quarters of the country. Only thirty one 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: percent think he's competent. Only thirty four percent think he's 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: honest and trustworthy. So you have a guy that most 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: people think is senile, incompetent, and a liar. And I'm 26 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: going to take an hour of life and watch him 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: read someone else's nonsense about the glory of America as 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: the f and you, no, it's it's a campaign event, 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: which you know it should be ignored, and you don't 30 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: watch just because it's your tradition and they have to 31 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: cover it. It's my tradition. It's like maybe people who 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: remember World War Two, it's not me. You know, I 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: got I got, we got one thousand, one hundred thousand 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: channels now. Meanwhile, to see court sight seats for lebron 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: can go for two hundred thousand or more. No really, yeah, 36 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: you to get one for as cheap as one fifty tonight. Yeah, 37 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: but not court side. And that's what you want to 38 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: be right there near the floor. The last road top 39 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: deck in the corner is Yeah, I'm seriously considering getting 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: tickets for tonight. That might be worth it. At least 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: you could see it on the video screen. Yeah, John, 42 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: you hated Lebron though, back when I don't like him. 43 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: They made that big announcement what team he was gonna pick? 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah, But I mean an ego bag. 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: He is an ego back. He's a colossal, annoying ego bag. 46 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: But you got admire his talent. I mean, at least 47 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: he produces. No, no, Biden doesn't produce this. This guy produce. 48 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: I mean. And that record that Kareem had for most 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: points in a career that stood for like thirty five 50 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. Yeah, that's something else. Yeah. Yeah, Kareem's 51 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna be there tonight, Duke. Yeah, supposedly tonight and tomorrow 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: or Thursday. Excuse me, So the next guy he doesn't 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: get it to nineties thirty six points? Yeah, I like that. Oh, 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: he'll get it. The Lakers have nothing to play for. 55 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: They get the Thunder, right, Yes, they play the Thunder 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: tonight and then the Bucks on Thursday. Thunder stink. I 57 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: think they're an up and coming team, but if I 58 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: think the record right now is yes, they're at the bottom. 59 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: So they stink. Okay, all right, so he could if 60 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: they keep feeding him the ball, he could easily score 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: thirty six points. He's been averaging thirty three since his 62 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: birthday December. All right, So if you spend that money, 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: Eric and you go when he only gets thirty five points, 64 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't that be wild? I'd be very upset that home. Wait, wait, 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: one more shot. They're going to clear the floor for 66 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: him when he gets it. When he gets thinks, So 67 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: if he's close enough tonight, they will make it happen. Yeah, 68 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: maybe even the thunder will make it happen. Who knows? 69 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: They were just so that it's home game seven o'clock. Yeah, 70 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: seven o'clock on Spectrum Sports Net and Tea. Yeah, I'll 71 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: be watching them, Okay, I think I'll be going. Yeah, 72 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: that beats that beats the poop out of Biden and 73 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: with Biden. Of course, the new element that they're adding 74 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: today is all the Chinese spy balloon saga. How does 75 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: that factor into this beach? I'm like, well, has that 76 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: factor through this spot? He's gonna give himself credit for 77 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: ordering shot down? What a week later? Yeah he's not. Yeah, 78 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: he's not gonna address why it was allowed to float 79 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: for a week. No, I think he's going to attack 80 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: Japan is what we're in Japan, China. Rather, he's gonna 81 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: have some hard things to say. He will probably attack Japan. 82 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: He might by mistake it. But what I like today 83 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: was reading a couple of stories that you know, what 84 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: are the Chinese propaganda spokesholes come out and they're acting 85 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: like this is our property? How dare they like you 86 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: flew a pollut over our country and now ask him 87 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: that we not destroy it or we give him back 88 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: what's there? So I'll get out of here. They're shameless. 89 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they will imagine if we flew something over 90 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: their country any kind of a play. Well, we should 91 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: we own one. Now we all am a little surprised 92 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: present one night. The thing that confused me yesterday was 93 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: the talk that came up from one of these top generals, 94 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: the Pentagon's Northern Command, General Glenn D. Van Herk, was saying, well, 95 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, there have been Chinese balloons before, and there 96 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: were several when Trump was president, and people were like, really, 97 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: they're trying to say that as if they misclassified them 98 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: as UFOs is what he's saying now. They were trying 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: to say this to tamp down the outrage. Oh, that's 100 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: just happened before this, there's nothing new. It's like, wait 101 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: a second, I don't think that tamps down the outrage. 102 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: Oh no, but I think that's why they announced it, right. 103 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: This means this is a bigger problem. And the three 104 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Trump balloons, they never told the Trump administration about it. No, 105 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: they just said that there was unidentified objects. It says here, 106 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: unidentified aerial phenomenon is what they call them now UAPs. 107 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: There's a euphemism. Why is there a euphemism for everything? 108 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: Used to be a UFO is flying objects. Now it's 109 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: aerial phenomenon. So that's what they just classified it as 110 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: a possible UFO, want identified and just let it go. 111 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: But looking back to the records, now they do believe 112 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: that there were several balloons that made their way over 113 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: the US three occasions during the Trump administration. They're now saying, so, so, 114 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: why why don't we stop this stuff? Why don't we 115 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: start shooting things down before they get here? And you're right, 116 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: senior Trump administration officials said they were never briefed about 117 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: any Chinese spy balloons. Well, they didn't tell Biden either 118 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: for four days, this thing was floating over Alaska on Saturday. 119 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: Biden wasn't told to a Wednesday. Who are these people 120 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: running these agencies? Says The incidents, like all unexplained events, 121 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: are handed over to a Pentagon task force charged with 122 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: investigating these type of phenomenon And we're these guys, and 123 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: I guess it just went into a file at a desk. 124 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: And I know, the crazy guys as he's a Ufour Nebraska. Yeah, 125 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: put that in a file, I know. But they can 126 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: hit pictures now, you can see right away what it 127 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: looks like, and you can transmit the picture instantly, right, 128 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: and since we've had five of these, then they know 129 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: what they look like. Says here. Oh, the previous ones 130 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: were probably on in coastal locations, so maybe there was 131 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: one flying over your place, John, I'd love that they 132 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, eventually Americans are going to start shooting these down. Oh, 133 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: especially if it flies over a gun territory. Well, well, yeah, 134 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: in South Carolina. The local sheriff they Montana has a 135 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: lot of hunters. I'm surprised they didn't get to work there. 136 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: Guys in Montana were calling up asking if they're allowed 137 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: to shoot it down. But can't. I mean it's pretty 138 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: high up, can you You can't? You can't shoot? You 139 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: count what I'm saying. In South Carolina, I think it 140 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: was your county. The sheriff's department was warning the yahoo's 141 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: not to shoot. You can't reach the balloon at sixty 142 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: thousand feet and the bullet is going to come down 143 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: and kill you. Oh I see. So that's why they 144 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: were telling them, no, don't do it, because you're going 145 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: to get the bullet, not the balloon. The what if 146 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: There was a report delivered to Congress last month looked 147 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: at three hundred and sixty six additional reports of unexplained 148 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: aerial phenomenon, one hundred and seventy one to run a plane. 149 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: But the reports said one hundred and sixty three were balloons. 150 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they're all Chinese balloons, but they were 151 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 1: some type of You might be right, and you said yesterday, 152 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: the Russians have probably sent balloons. Everybody sent balloons here 153 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: to try to take a look at the because they 154 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: think unlike satellites, the balloons have certain advantages that they 155 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: can get a little closer. It's possible they can pick 156 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: up radio and cellular telephone frequencies and conversations. Oh really, yeah, 157 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: because if it's that low you start, it's like in 158 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: an airplane. I don't know if you ever noticed if 159 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: you keep your phone on in an airplane, cell phone 160 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: signals drift in and out. And no, I never noticed that. 161 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: Yeah I have done that, but I didn't notice anything. Yeah. Yeah, 162 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes like text messages or emails will pop up during 163 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: the flight because you entered a zone where, for whatever reason, 164 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: the cell signal was roaming free. Oh I see, you 165 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: might get a text from somebody. It might come over 166 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: your phone right right, so it picks it up right, 167 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: So maybe maybe, And who knows what kind of equipment 168 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: they have. I mean, the technology is incredible, especially Chinese technology, 169 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: half of which they've stolen from us, it thinks. So 170 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: because you look at the vaccine that was a flop, 171 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: Do they really have the best technology? Well they had, 172 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: they suck at vaccines. Well, no, some stuff they're good at. 173 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: Some stuff they're bumbling idiots. You never know, No, you 174 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: never know till it happens. But I would I would 175 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: expect that they're doing this because now that we know 176 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: it's five right, that this wasn't a one time prank 177 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: or a one time finger in the eye. There's at 178 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: least five, and maybe there were more that nobody noticed. 179 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: All right, then this this does something for them. They 180 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: think it's worthwhile because those look really expensive to make. Yeah, yeah, 181 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: the balloons. And then and then high is it too? Yeah? 182 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: You're not gonna how many two hundred foot high balloons 183 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: are you gonna build just for the fun of it? 184 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: And then and then that that big structure it was 185 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: carrying that was the length of a jet airplane loaded 186 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: with expensive technology. That's a lot of money up there. 187 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: Do you think this goes into the dark hole too? 188 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: They don't tell us what they found aboard that thing. 189 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: Do they ever have a press conference to announce? I 190 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: don't know everybody of equipment and what Everyone in government's dishonest, 191 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: and everybody in the meat is dishonest. So I don't 192 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: know how even it leads to conspiracies If they make 193 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: an announcement, how do I know it's true. They're not 194 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: even telling the presidents anymore. They didn't tell Trump and 195 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: Biden about the first boar balloons. If they're not telling 196 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: Trump and Biden, they're not going to tell me. In you, 197 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: all right when we retired, it's still going. We have 198 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: a chance for you to win a thousand dollars with 199 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: the keyword you need that you enter at the website 200 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: and see if you can win the money. John and 201 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: Ken Cafe. I am six forty live everywhere on the 202 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. All right, Well, the other big story in 203 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: the world, of course, is the earthquakes that to hit 204 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: Turkey and Syria. The death toll has now easily passed 205 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: seven thousand. They're still trying to reach people buried under buildings. See, 206 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: some people are sending out selfies asking for help while 207 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: they're buried in some rubble. Just kind of no, I 208 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: think the phone still worked. Yeah, they were sending out 209 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: a viddle video selfies to who I don't know, friends 210 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: or family or somebody. One senior official says the death 211 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: toll could rise to more than twenty thousand by the 212 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: time they were able to get through the entire rescue effort, 213 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: which will probably go on for some time. And the 214 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: rubble there one of the things we learned, and of 215 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: course we love to talk about this because Deborah Mark 216 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: squirms and as nightmares and can't seem to psychologically come 217 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: to grips with the fact that she's lived in California 218 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: a long time, for my whole life, and nothing bad 219 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: has happened yet yet. That's the key word. That's pretty good. 220 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: You've lived your entire life waiting for one moment. Yeah, 221 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: that's that's the way to happen. It may not happen 222 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: in your lifetime. I mean, you may live another fifty 223 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: one hundred years and I happened. I don't think so. 224 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: But you know, we have the Santator's fault is very 225 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: similar to the fault that produced this earthquake in Turkey. Yeah. 226 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: I was just reading that in a story, and that 227 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: sant Andrea's fault is capable of an eight point two. 228 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: They think around there is the maximum we'd get. You 229 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: make me feel so much better, so you know, just yeah, 230 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: in Turkey it's called the East Anatolian and North Anatolian faults, 231 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: and they're similar to the San Andreas John's right. Yeah. 232 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: In fact those two quakes, because one was seven eight 233 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: one or seventy five, it was two different faults a 234 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: few miles apart. Yes, So one went and it built 235 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: up stress on the other, and then that one went 236 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: and you know, they call it like a DOUBLET or 237 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: something like that. DOUBLET. I saw that because the first 238 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: earthquake can shake a building, but the second can bring 239 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: it down if there's enough structural damage done. Well, they 240 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: have a lot of buildings made a concrete without reinforcement, 241 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: steel rebar and oh yeah, we went through this back 242 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: in the nineties with north Ridge, right buildings. Like so, 243 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, you have a country that's built on this 244 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: massive fault and you build concrete unreinforced, you know, apartment 245 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: structures on it. Well, what do you eventually that's going 246 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: to happen? You just can't. You can't do that. Either 247 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: got to build the buildings low or you got to 248 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: build them properly. We're in very select company, remark the 249 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: world's active seismic zones California, Turkey, and New Zealand. They're 250 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: in a category of their own. May have long, mature 251 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: faults and are on land. The only other one to 252 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: fit into this category is Japan. But the biggest faults 253 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: they are under the ocean, which can bring up the 254 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: tsunami scare. Okay, so I have plenty of places to 255 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: move to this you do, there's no reason you would. 256 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: You're right, I've just still only eliminated four countries. Yeah, 257 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: there's no reason for you to be here, that really isn't. 258 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: The land beneath Turkey is seismically active. It's squeezed between 259 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: the Arabian Plate which is pushing Northwood and Europe. So 260 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: that's exactly that's how they have such a risk there, 261 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: and it's squeezed out to the west. Yeah, I was reading. 262 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: The Earth's crust is like a jigsaw puzzle, and it's 263 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: broken into these large land masses that are always grinding 264 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: against each other, and there's always pleasures that the plates. Yeah, 265 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: the plates, plates, they can slip. Yeah, they press and 266 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: press and pressed, and suddenly one shoots out ahead of 267 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: the other. Yeah. They'll look down at the ground and think, 268 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: is that really what's going on under there? So when 269 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: the when the shaking goes on, if you're if your home, 270 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: your apartment building is just supported by concrete, the concrete 271 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: is going to explode from the inside and crumble into 272 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: little bits because it can't handle the energy. The energy 273 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: coming up from the Earth just just turns the concrete 274 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: into dust and then the structure loses its support and 275 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: comes tumbling down. Why haven't scientists figured out a way 276 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: to inject in these major faults, like the San Andreas fault, 277 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: something that would relieve the pressure, maybe on a weekly basis, 278 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, just go go around and you know, like 279 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: an anti inflammatory or something like that, giving some CBD 280 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: or s. Yeah, exactly, Maybe go around in Sage the 281 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: San Andreas fault, and then maybe you will just stay 282 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: inactive forever. Will you do that? You know what? Actually 283 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: I should? I you know, I don't really have a 284 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: science mind, but maybe I don't call me crazy, but 285 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: maybe I can learn and I could be the geologist. 286 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: You read your you read your horoscope, you run around 287 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Sage and you're telling me you don't have a science mind. Yes, 288 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: I just that. I would throw it out there just 289 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: in case you might be confused. She's looking John for something. Right. 290 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: We need to solve it, to fix this, to reduce 291 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: the chances. Right. Yeah. It is. An earthquake is the 292 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: ground shaking caused by a sudden slip on a fault. 293 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: Stresses in the Earth's outer layer push the sides of 294 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: the fault together, so stress builds up and the rock slips, suddenly, 295 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: releasing energy and waves that travel through the Earth's crust 296 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: and cause the shaking that you feel during the earthquake. 297 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: So in Turkey they have shoddy construction and I read 298 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: in one story probably a lot of corrupt building inspectors. Yeah, 299 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: it's not a very wealthy country. Rise better than some, 300 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: but right, so that's a that's a bad combination, which 301 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: means you can't build these big apartment buildings with concrete 302 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: support pillars. Right, you're asking for it. And by this time, 303 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, we've been around thousands and thousands of years. 304 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: The science is all there, the materials are there, we 305 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: know how to do it. I mean, if California gets 306 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: hit with an eight point two earthquake, we're gonna have 307 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: a lot of damage, but it's going to be not 308 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: nearly what's in Turkey proportionally, because so many of our 309 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: buildings are up to current earthquake standards. Of all the 310 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: government overregulation that goes on, this is the one thing 311 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: the government gets right, is the earthquake construction regulations and 312 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: the retro fitting requirements. Right, that's a smart thing to do. 313 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: Otherwise you end up with what Rashian on TV. Yeah, 314 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: it's explained here that Turkey has two massive to tonic plates. 315 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: I mentioned the Arabian and the Eurasian. They meet underneath 316 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: Turkey's southeastern provinces and along this fault line, about one 317 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: hundred miles from one side to the other, the earth slipped. 318 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 1: They call this a strike slip, where the plates are 319 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: actually touching and all of a sudden they slide sideways. 320 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: That's different from us we have and I always loved 321 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: this term, the Ring of Fire, which runs along the 322 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: west coast of the United States. Earthquakes and tsunamis are 323 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: caused by subduction, where one plate slides below another. Yeah, 324 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: a strike slip. They move horizontally rather than vertically. Well, 325 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: Asia and Europe are considered two separate continents. If you 326 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: look on a map, it looks like they're connected, but 327 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: down below it is two separate plates that are grinding 328 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: against each other. Right, looking at the deadliest earthquakes since 329 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: two thousand and two, this one is already moving up 330 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: the charts. But Haiti, Wow, twenty ten, over two hundred 331 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: thousand people died forgot that right, Yeah, with eleven trillion 332 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: dollars in damages. Because after that, the next one's Indonesia, 333 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: then China. This is just since two thousand and two, 334 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: so it's not measuring back. It's about this particular. It's 335 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: poor countries that don't have the money or don't have 336 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the government. Oh that's the other thing that was shocking. 337 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: It's really cold there. I mean I talked to people 338 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: that live out here, and they think, oh, earthquake weather. 339 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: So it's really hot and dry. That's something about the 340 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: ground cracks and crumbles and then you get an earthquake. 341 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: Earthquake weather is up with astrology. That was when I 342 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: moved out here. Then that we had that ninety four 343 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: earthquake right north Ridge, shortly after we moved out here, 344 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: and I that was a hot weekend. I'll remember that. 345 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: It happens to Monday. I think right in January. January, right, 346 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: I heard people babbling about earthquake weather, and I thought, 347 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: are you all nuts? The quake is down there, the 348 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: weather is up there. What are you talking about? But 349 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: it takes the ground, and it causes the ground to 350 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: get really you know, a tense and stressed and now 351 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: and I started hearing a hundreds like a boiling pot. 352 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: And they said, well, you know, it was hot and dry. 353 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: It's always hot and dry here. That's every day, all right. 354 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: We got more coming up John and Ken Cafi A M. 355 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: Six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, 356 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: that word will be revealed coming up around two twenty 357 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: next hour on the John and Ken Show. We'll also 358 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: be talking to Carl Demio from Reform California after two o'clock. 359 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: They have qualified for the ballot. Yes from the John 360 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: and Ken Show. Will be voted on until November of 361 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. But we'll talk about the Taxpayer Protection Act. 362 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: Get it in your head now. They took a long 363 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: time collecting signature as they did great work on this, 364 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: and it finally got approved just last week to be 365 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: on next year's ballot. In fact, it comes up in 366 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: the story we're now going to talk about. We had 367 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday that, of course Gavin Newsom is all show. 368 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: He loves to just babbyl on with his bureaucratic technical 369 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: jargon and then act like he's really tackled a problem. 370 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: So back in the fall of last year when gas 371 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: prices were really amazingly high, they're still very high. This 372 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: don't get talked about it anymore because they went down 373 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: a bit. Now they're coming back up again. Yeah, four 374 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: sixty nine this morning. Yeah, higher than the rest of 375 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: the country by far. But what he decided to do 376 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: for the people was give people an inflation rebate. And 377 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to go after the oil companies and their 378 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: windfall profits. And I'm going to call a special session 379 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: of the legislature to talk about how we slap a 380 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: windfall profits tax on the greedy big oil companies. And 381 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: you and I had said last week, and I think 382 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: again yesterday what happened to that they declared the special session, 383 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: but he never sent a plan over for them to debate, 384 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: right yep. George Skelton with the Olsagendo Times wrote about it. 385 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: A tax would of course require a two thirds majority 386 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: legislative vote. He thinks that would be perhaps impossible to 387 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: obtain because even though they have the supermajority, there would 388 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: be a few of them that don't want to raise taxes, 389 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: even if it's on oil companies, not on people directly. 390 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: Who knows about that, but they know the taxes are 391 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: so high. Someday there's a tipping point on this. Someday 392 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: they're going to go one tax too far. And there 393 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: are a few Democratic legislators who don't want to find 394 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: out where the tipping point is there's been one bill 395 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: SP two introduced by that goofball from Berkeley Senator Nancy Skinner. 396 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: But it's just language denouncing the oil industry. That's all 397 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: in favor of denouncing the oil industry, say I, like 398 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: we mentioned yes day, they want to take over the 399 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: fast food companies by setting up a council that determines 400 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: wages and benefits. Now they want to take over the 401 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: oil companies, deciding when they have too much profits. It 402 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: says here though, according to reports, nobody in the legislature 403 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: is working very hard on this and there really is 404 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: nothing going on. One in the Assembly said it's not 405 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: a priority. Right way. You say, if you start dictating 406 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: how much money employees should make in the fast food industry, 407 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: and you start dictating how much profit the oil industry gets, 408 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: how can how can you possibly argue against accusations that 409 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: you're turning California into a communist state. You're trying to 410 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: have the government run everything. That's what the Soviet Union, 411 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: they run industry, right, That's what the Chinese Communist Party does. 412 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: That's what goes on in Cuba, That's what goes on 413 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: in Venezuela. So how's it different, and you pick it, 414 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: you do it industry by industry. Think again, the drip 415 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: drip drip method of governing incrementally every day, and before 416 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: you know it, after a few years of this, the 417 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: government is dictating everything to everybody. Apparently the take is 418 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: that this was just dumped on the legislature by Newsom. 419 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: But I love this quote from State Senator Anthony Portantino 420 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: from Burbank. He's chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The governor 421 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: has been doing a very good job reaching out to 422 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: the State Senate. His staff is very engaged. But I 423 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: don't think the governor has landed yet. There's an expression 424 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: that sounds like Newsom. Yeah, see, like that balloon. This 425 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: hasn't been one of those things where the governor walks 426 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: into the room and says take it or leave it. 427 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: But another assembly member, Appropriations Committee chairman Chris Holden, says, 428 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: as far as any chatter around the issue, it's not there. 429 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't risen to anyone's consciousness at this point. They're 430 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: not completely stupid. I'd imagine they know he's running for 431 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: president and all these issues he's raising is just to 432 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: fill out his presidential profile. After he had attention to 433 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: attack the oil companies. After he's done running for president, 434 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: they're still going to have their jobs, and they want 435 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: to keep their jobs. They don't want to get run 436 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: out because as they passed one tax too many. Yeah, 437 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: and well also as put it out here is how 438 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: do you figure out what are excess profits? How do 439 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: you figure out how exactly two tax excess profits? And really, 440 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: just as usual from Newson, it's just an idea with 441 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: no substance. And besides, it's obviously oil companies would pass 442 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: that tax onto us anyway that would further drive up 443 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: the cost of gasoline and energy. So it becomes circular. 444 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: What's what's the point of this If if I don't 445 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: know what the tax would be, Let's say it equals 446 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: to ten cents per gallon of gas, Well, then we're 447 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: gonna be paying that ten cents at the pump. Now 448 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: four sixty nine becomes four seventy nine. Yeah, that's what 449 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: That's what's also being discussed. It's just gonna get passed on. 450 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: It's a cost of doing business. That's a lot of 451 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: what happened with the climate gas taxes that they passed 452 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: in the last ten years. They've been passed through by 453 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: the oil companies due to us. It's another reason we 454 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: pay five daughters a gallon no more for gasolade. It's 455 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: because of what the legislature did with all their stupid 456 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: climate change taxes and gas taxes. By the way, the 457 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: climate is still warming up. It hasn't done any good. No, no, no, 458 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: we haven't cooled the climate at all. But was toobody's 459 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: supposed to follow us and adopt our policy. Yeah, well 460 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: that didn't happen. No, it was just to steal money. 461 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: It was a great excuse to steal money, and so 462 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: they stole the money. It says here do some's aids 463 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: have been meeting with Democratic legislatures. Legislatories to agree on 464 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: a plan, but so far, nothing really specific is coming it. 465 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: Now it's two months since they had their big hearings. 466 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: But the legislators say, well, he hasn't landed yet. Yeah, 467 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: that's right, he's see in orbit. Yeah exactly. So it's 468 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: it's all, he's such a fraud and nobody wants to 469 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: call him on it. I can't believe we've got forty 470 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 1: million people in the state, and I swear to God, 471 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: you and I are the only ones who see clearly 472 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: that he's a complete frauds. He's a poser, he's posturing, 473 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: he's virtue signaling, greening, he's not really doing anything related 474 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: to this. We're going to talk to Carl Demio to 475 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: a five because even if they pass this, it's going 476 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: to require voter approval. The bill of the bill, the 477 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: ballot measure that we're going to vote on next year 478 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: that we're gonna talk about with Carl, a Taxpayer Protection Act, 479 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: and it would actually require voter approve any state tax 480 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: increase and acted after January one, twenty twenty two, so 481 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: we can go back and it can be twenty twenty 482 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: four before we vote. We can go back and vote 483 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: on any tax measures that they passed, which could include 484 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: this windfall profits tax right and the mansion tax here 485 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: in La. Oh yeah, that's right, the mansion tax is that? 486 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: Was that a property tax? Or if you sell a 487 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: property for more than five million dollars, which these days 488 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: property is any mud hut, then you'd have to pay 489 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: a four percent transfer tax. Now, so if your house 490 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: is five million dollars, you'd have to pay two hundred 491 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: thousand dollars right right, just for selling the property just 492 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: the state's cut right off the top, which which is wrong. 493 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: It's not the state's property, it's your at property. Right, 494 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: But that mansion tax was already approved by the voters. 495 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: There there's a retro there's some retroactive language. Oh, any 496 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: tax raised the between January twenty twenty two November twenty 497 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: twenty four, with the wrinkle being that you could put 498 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: it back on the ballot, but it needs a two 499 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: thirds vote. Oh I see, Oh that didn't I don't 500 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: think it required it. Did it require two thirds vote? No? No, 501 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: we need a majority vote, and it got fifty seven percent. 502 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: Now that's why it passed. All right, we'll talk to 503 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: Carl coming up after two o'clock news. John and Ken 504 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: camf I AM six forty.

Because John said 511 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: something incredibly striking that you just have to share with somebody. Oh, 512 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure, I did every day. You do every day, 513 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: so you have to call through all three hours of 514 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: the podcast. There might only be one kernel in there, 515 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: little gold nugget, but it's worth it. Sometimes there's a 516 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: hidden message too, you know, said something that looks like 517 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: it's just a quick drop, but it's got some deep meaning. 518 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: And you know new features. You can play the podcast 519 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: backwards and there are some satanic messages in there. Cool. Yeah, 520 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: those come out of ken. But you see people worked 521 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: up because I guess there was some satanic song played 522 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: at the Crappies the other night. There's lots of show 523 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: nobody watches anymore. So yeah, Sam Smith singer, Yeah, yeah, 524 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: he did some song that called Unholy. I think it's 525 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: called satanic. Oh. If I know that, I would kind 526 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: of dressed up in the red looking like like Satan 527 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: or something. It's like, say, now, that would get me 528 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: to watch and they start that stuff. They're gonna start 529 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: that debate all over again. The Moist Line one eight 530 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: seven seven Moist eighty six is how you connect directly 531 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: leave a message for Friday's Moistline or again that valuable, No, 532 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: it's invaluable.

Check out the microphone icon on 535 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: the iHeart radio app. Well, I think about once a year, 536 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: John Cobelt finds a story like this, it's the old 537 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: hot tub story. Well, they keep doing research. Headline is 538 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: whatever you have on your skin, you'll deposit into the 539 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: warm water of a hot tub, including the one hundred 540 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: milligrams or so of feces that is present between your 541 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: buttock cheeks. So if you never realize that that appa 542 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: is a reality. And of course I look at that 543 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: and said, a hundred milligrams, what is that? How much? 544 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: Is that exactly? Too much? I don't really think that 545 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: it goes up your nose. That's way too much. Oh man. 546 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: It's another study that wants to tell people that while 547 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: hot tubs can do a lot to loosen up your 548 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: muscles and relieve stress, you have to be aware it 549 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: sins here. It actually is good to treat joint inflammation 550 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: in rheumatoid and some people have arthritis arthritis problems. But 551 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: it's filled with bacteria, viruses and fungi. Fung guy, Yeah, 552 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: that's the part they want you to watch out. That's 553 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: one hundred milligrams of feces and that's per person. All right. Yeah, 554 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: so if you have five people in the hot tub, 555 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: so you got six, you got six back guys in 556 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: the tub with you. Now you'll likely breathe in or 557 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: swallow your JACUZI partner's body. Bacteria, viruses, and funga has 558 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: that sound ever, That sounds disgusting, And that's why I 559 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: don't go in with anybody. You don't, Yeah, no, I 560 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: haven't been one in a long time. It's it's gross, 561 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: it's really really great, and plus it's a it's supposedly 562 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and four degrees. You imagine what's cooking in there. 563 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: I don't go in swimming pools either, unless it's my own, 564 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: because I don't trust people. You know, people go and 565 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: pee in there. I used to hate public pools. We'd 566 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: go on vacations into hotel pools. You have to do that, No, 567 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: not at Yeah. I take the kids when they were little, 568 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: when you know they could barely swim. I went to 569 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: public pools at hotels and stuff. Oh yeah, and then 570 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: I started looking around, especially if there's a whole bunch 571 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: of kids in the pool and you know they're they're 572 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: releasing everything that they've got inside them. The more people 573 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: use the jacuzzi, the higher the levels of feces and 574 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: sweat will shed into the water. And of course you're 575 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: and if somebody peas this part, I didn't know. These 576 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: bodily deposits can be used by the bacteria as direct nutrients, 577 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: so they'll feed on your feece. Yeah, yeah, debris. You 578 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: your fecal debate. Doesn't the chlorine kill a lot of stuff? Uh? Yeah, theoretically, yeah, 579 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: it does. Mention that's possible, but it says here's jacuzi owners. 580 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: He advised to change the one of their hot tubs 581 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: only around every three months. Bacteria will grow. Most jacuzzies 582 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: that recirculate water have MicroB removing filler filters, and water 583 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: is treated with microbiosides. I guess it doesn't have to 584 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: get into the filter to clean or yeah, I don't know. Yeah, 585 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: that's the hotel pools usually reek really strongly of chlorine. 586 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: Of chlorine. Yeah, so let's see, you can get Ekoi staphylococcus. 587 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: I can't even pronounce Legionnaire's disease bacteria. No, that's horrible. 588 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: This can cause gut infections. Diarrhea, septicemia, skin infections, urinin 589 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: airy tract infections, respiratory infections, m So it says in 590 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: the story that, um, you can tell a germ filled 591 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: jacuzzi when you're in another bodily fluid such as sweat 592 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: mixed with chlorine used to just infect the jacuzi. It 593 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: creates an irritant, the pungent chemical called chloromine, which can 594 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: cause sore eyes when swimming in public pools. So maybe 595 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: that's the stink. It's not your So they're warning, they're 596 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: warning you. That's right. When you get up there and 597 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: you smell that sort of chemical, it probably means there's 598 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of germs and it's mixing with the urine 599 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: and the other bodily fluids. Yeah, chloromine smells a lot 600 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: like bleach. So if you get a bleachy smell, no, no, no, 601 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: that probably means there's a lot of no good stuff 602 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: in their bodily fluids and waists. And yeah, it says here, 603 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: the more bathers deposit their bodily fluids, is stronger the 604 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: smell of the chloromine will be, and the greater the 605 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: likelihood the spot or hotel jacuzi has low levels of disinfectants. 606 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: Some people get giddy when there's a jacuzzi. Oh yeah, 607 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: because I see them at hotels and they're just it's 608 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: the bigger they are, the more they like the jacuzzi. 609 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: This was another California thing too, because when I was 610 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: growing up on the East Coast, we didn't really get 611 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: really hot tubs or here about them. No. Then I 612 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: would see them in movies and people would talk about 613 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: him because a lot of people in California had the 614 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: backyard pool in the jacuzzi, and I'm like, oh, look 615 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 1: at that really popular hot tubs. Hundred milligrams per person. 616 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: Oh feces. Is either one of you ever sit in 617 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: like a steam room or a Yes? I I have, yes, yeah, 618 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: but are you gonna yeah? I just wanted I've never 619 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: done that. I just wanted, yes, Yes. When I was 620 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: in Cabo, I did. Oh you just that's how you 621 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: got COVID. Oh there you go, drifted into your nostrils 622 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: from somebody else's that was the only one in there, 623 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: but rect or whatever. There's no air circulation in a 624 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: steam rooms. Oh but you know what, I did it twice. 625 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: One time there was one woman in there and then 626 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: the second time, nobody was in there. Maybe that's got it. Yeah, 627 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: that's probably right. Oh, no, knew when I asked that question, 628 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: you'd be the one too. Well. Yes, and what's the 629 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: point of his steam room. It's supposed to relax you. 630 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: It's supposed your pores exactly.
