It's the podcast. It's the same as the 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: radio show posted after four o'clock. The overwhelming story of 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: the day, we're all the tariffs that Trump laid on many, 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: many countries around the globe. These are taxes on goods 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: that are imported from foreign countries here into America, and 10 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: they're pretty they're pretty hefty. I told you last hour 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: that we have a huge trade imbalance around the world. 12 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: We sell China three hundred we buy from China three 13 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars more worth of goods than they buy 14 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: from US. And same thing with Europe, about two hundred 15 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: and thirty five billion more we pay to European countries 16 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: than what they buy here. So we're we're sending a 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: lot of wealth to foreign countries and they're not. They're 18 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: not they're not buying our stuff, not in as grade 19 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: as number, either in you know, raw goods or dollar amounts. 20 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: So Trump wants to even everything out and that's why 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: there's tariffs, because the higher the taxes on these imported goods, 22 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: he's expecting people in this country who will buy less 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: because the foreign goods will be more expensive. How expensive 24 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: what goods? Well, we're going to talk with Alex Stone 25 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: ABC News.

And you heard Debra there a moment 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: ago about SoCal Breweries as saying that your beer may 31 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: get more expensive because of the aluminum and the stainless 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: steel that they use. We've heard a lot about the 33 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: cars as well. Ferrari, you should have bought your Ferrari 34 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: yesterday because they're the first company to come out and 35 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: say they're going to be adding up to ten percent. 36 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: Now you tell me, yeah, you should have done it. Now, 37 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: Now go spend your what are they one hundred and 38 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: fifty grand, two hundred grand, It's going to be more 39 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: in the next couple of days. They're going to go 40 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: up up to ten percent on cars sold in the US. 41 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: As result of the tariffs, and other companies have been 42 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: taking more of a wait and see approach on it. 43 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: But you got between the demand before the tariffs. We 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: talked to one Toyota dealership that they sold seventy cars 45 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: last weekend, which you know, quite a bit for one dealership, 46 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: just to people coming in and saying they wanted to 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: do it on Saturday and Sunday last week before the tariffs. 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: So she had this demand that gobbled up what was available. 49 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: And now used car prices are going up because of 50 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: demand on the new cars four and then now the 51 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: people may not be buying new cars or be able 52 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: to afford them if they do go up the way 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: some believe that they will. That they're going to use cars, 54 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: and there's more demand there, and people aren't selling their 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: cars because they can't afford to go buy a new car. 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: It's all connected, and then used car prices go up. 57 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: We talked to a general sales manager at a GMC 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: dealership in San Diego County and he says, it's all 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: crazy right now. Reminds them a lot of COVID. 60 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: There's a tremendous amount of uncertainty in the marketplace right now. 61 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: And this time brings us back to the COVID prices 62 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: where things elevated in terms of a price point due 63 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: to the shortage of inventory and supply for the consumer. 64 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: Web Bush Security is a financial firm. They have now 65 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: up their forecast for how much car prices are going 66 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: to go up five grand per car for an American 67 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: made car, just based on demand and on parts and 68 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: where the parts come from. That's on the low side 69 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: to fifteen thousand more for the exact same car than 70 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: it is today. That it will be on the higher 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: end of that. But John, there's a lot more to it, 72 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: like the beer that the debro is talking about, but 73 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: a big impact on on avocados and importing them from 74 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: South America of course Mexico as well, because oh no, no, no, no, no. 75 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: Wait a minute, avocados. 76 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I told you. 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: So. 78 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: People are getting creative now. We talked to Gary gregg 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: e Own's and nursery up in Richmond. He is selling 80 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: avocado trees starting at five feet tall, so customers can 81 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: buy mature trees and begin producing their own avocados because 82 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: of the terrafts. 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: Everybody needs an avocado tree for not only the terrorists 84 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 5: to save some money, and the fact that you'll be 85 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 5: the coolest kid in the block if you're giving avocallas away. 86 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: That is so true here in our newsroom. When somebody 87 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: comes in with a box of avocados from their tree 88 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: at home, they are the coolest kid on the block. 89 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 3: So one time somebody did send me. 90 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 6: It was a local farm and they sent me this 91 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 6: huge box of avocados and they were so amazing. 92 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: That could be like four thousand dollars of avocados, now, wow, 93 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: sure it was. You could always go on the air 94 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: and beg for free. Avocados are going to be showing 95 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: up outside KFI now, But olive oil from Italy going 96 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: up because of a percentage more to bring it in. 97 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: Wineries say that their prices are going to be going 98 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: up because they don't they get their glass bottles from China. 99 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Mostly they don't come from the US. The glass and 100 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: then the beer that you guys talked about. So there 101 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: are things so in the grocery world that they tell 102 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: us won't be going up. Chicken beef. A lot of 103 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: the veggies come from Central California because it's all mostly 104 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: US grown, and beef is not is all domestic. Yeah, 105 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: unless you're getting wagu or you know, one of those. 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: But now the only thing that could change that is 107 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: if this doesn't go right and leads to inflation, then 108 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: those would be going up as well. But just as 109 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: a result of this. And canned goods like veggies and soups, 110 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: the grocery industry says that they've got about a six 111 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: month supply of those. So typically those if it's the 112 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: aluminum that's going up for the can or the other 113 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: ingredients that are in there, that they wouldn't You wouldn't 114 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: feel that if you're going to to Vond's or Rouse 115 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: for canned food for an of months until they run 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: out of what they've already got. But other things like 117 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: avocados and all of oil things that are more perishable 118 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: vehicles because they move so quickly that that would be 119 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: a lot quicker. All right, Well, beef is a domestic 120 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: product largely and mentioned veggie, I know, but you're you're 121 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: blessed avocados. That's avocados, which kills me. Well, where do 122 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: they they come from? Mexico? Right? Well, I mean if 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: you go to Costco, a lot of them say Chile, Oh, 124 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: South America. I mean some come from the us in 125 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: San Diego County and up you know, near Spicabra. But but 126 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: not very many. Of the tariff across the board is 127 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: ten percent, like one hundred and eighty country's got a 128 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: ten percent tariff. I guess on everything. Mexico got a 129 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: special twenty five percent tariff. Yeah, that's a problem. So 130 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: the Mexican avocados are going to be more expensive than Chile. 131 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: At avocado tree, Alex. 132 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: I think that's what I don't go to that guy 133 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: Gary Gregg up in Richmond. He'll sell you what they 134 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: go for, he said to ninety nine, depending on how 135 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: mature they are, ninety nine to like nine hundred. Maybe 136 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: not until you get Don't they have to? Don't they 137 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: have to mate some now with avocado trees. I don't know, 138 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: No they do. I think you have like a female 139 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: and a male tree and they have to, like, who 140 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: make another avocado?

There's all kinds of objectionable characters 173 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: running for governor now, and we got a couple of 174 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: new ones, including someone who's Biden made famous. Uh did 175 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: you say the name? Oh, well, let's let's let's keep 176 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: it until we come back, all right, after two thirty, 177 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: we'll do but H. And he's he's got a really 178 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: sordid past. H. And then there's a second guy who's 179 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: currently in Newsom's administration, and he's got some weird side 180 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: gigs going on. Apparently a two hundred thousand dollars salary 181 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: as a government official isn't enough. He's into the nonprofit 182 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: game and he's working getting money through that venue. So 183 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: we'll tell you all about this because these are the 184 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: guys who had no chance to be governor, but they're 185 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: running because they've got nothing else to do. Tell you 186 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: about it in minutes, and we'll do more on the 187 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: which products are going to be going up in price 188 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: immediately because of the tariffs. 189 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six. 190 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: Forty moistline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight 191 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: seven seven Moist eighty six. Last Call Tomorrow's the show, 192 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: Tomorrow's two rounds of the Moistline in the three o'clock hour. 193 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: So this tarifft story has taken over the whole world, 194 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: even though most people probably don't even know what a 195 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: tariff is, how they work, why this has happened, The 196 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: root of it is and Trump has been complaining about 197 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: this since the nineteen eighties. I saw some clips of 198 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: him on various shows throughout the eighties. This was always 199 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: his hot button issue. Back then it was the Japanese. 200 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: The Japanese was going to be this dominating force in 201 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: the world economy, and then he became obsessed with the Chinese. 202 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: But it's all it's most of the major countries in 203 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: the world that we get our goods from. I mentioned 204 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: this earlier. From China, we import four hundred and forty 205 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: billion dollars worth of Chinese goods. We buy as Americans 206 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: four hundred and forty billion dollars. We only export one 207 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: hundred and forty billion to China, so we're giving away 208 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: three hundred billion dollars of our wealth to China. We 209 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: buy electronics and machinery. Those are the two of the 210 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: top categories. Europe, it's the same thing. We import six 211 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: hundred billion, but we export only three hundred and seventy billion. 212 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: So I mean between between China and Europe, it's over 213 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: half a trillion dollars of our wealth going to those countries. 214 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: Like net profit for those countries compared to what we're 215 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: getting from them half a trillion dollars. Mexico, same thing, 216 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy billion, Japan. I mean, it just goes. 217 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: I can go on, and I don't want to just 218 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: overwhelm you with numbers. Now avocados, see, they're going to 219 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: put the tax on the importer, whatever company is importing 220 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: the goods, like Mexico imports avocados. Boom, that's a twenty 221 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: five percent tax. Now will we pay the whole twenty 222 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: five percent? That's unknown. The importer could pay some of 223 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: the tax, the distributor could pay some of the tax, 224 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: the retail store could pay some of the tax. You 225 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: see there are a lot of middleman companies in between, 226 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: so the prices might not go up in accordance with 227 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: the tariff. That's okay, what oh, that's yeah, that we're 228 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: gonna be Yeah, we're not paying we're not paying the 229 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: full tax and the and the they like, uh what 230 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: was I had a list here? Hold on pineapples. We 231 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: get eighty eight percent of imported pineapples from Costa Rica. 232 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Pineapples are going to go up by ten percent. How 233 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: much is a pineapple? I don't even know. See when 234 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: it comes to fruits and vegetables. Yeah, I'm told to 235 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: get a pineapple and it's three ninety nine, or it's 236 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: four ninety nine, or it's eight ninety. I don't know. 237 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: I don't know what a pineapple is supposed to cost. 238 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: Luxury watches all right now, we're more in your category here. 239 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 6: Good thing. 240 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 3: I'm not in the market for one right now. 241 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: Uh. Switzerland makes ninety percent of the watches that we import, 242 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: and they're all going to get a thirty percent tariff. Huh. Yeah. 243 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: I haven't wonn to watch in a long time. 244 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: I don't either get the phone now exactly. 245 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: And watchers used to irritate me I was always taking 246 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: them off and playing with them. It's bothered me. Let 247 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: me see what else do we have here? Oh? Christmas lights? 248 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: Not this is important right now? Uh. Campbodia huge supplier 249 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: of Christmas lights, fifty tariff. They provide two thirds of 250 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: the imported Christmas lights. Uh. I didn't Wall Street Journal 251 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: picked these out. And they're kind of kind of odd products. 252 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean, cars are obviously going to go up, especially 253 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: if you buy foreign cars, although a lot of American cars, 254 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: their parts are made in foreign countries. And and and 255 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: the there's a lot of crisscross like we supply parts, 256 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: they supply parts, they assemble it in one country, they 257 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: sell it in another country. And Trump is saying this 258 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: is short term and eventually the other countries are going 259 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: to cave and they're going to lower their tariffs that 260 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: they have and allow us to sell more product over there. 261 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: In addition, companies will set up factories here in America. 262 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: They've long since moved to Mexico and Asia, you know, 263 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: for decades now, and it hallowed out our manufacturing. And 264 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: what's interesting is, you know, he's absolutely right on all this. 265 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean this is going to work, but he's right. 266 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: We gave away tens of millions of jobs, manufacturing jobs 267 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: to China, and then everybody goes, oh wow, cool, look 268 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: at all the chief stuff we get from China. There 269 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: was a big cost to that. There are a lot 270 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: of people who normally would get decent paying factory jobs 271 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: who didn't and either they're unemployed or they dropped out 272 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: of the workforce. Because you might say, wow, you know 273 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: we have four percent unemployment, they have jobs. Well, not necessarily, 274 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: because an unemployment number counts only the people who are 275 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: looking for work. There are a lot of young guys 276 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: that've dropped out of the workforce. I mean, they have 277 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: a number called labor Partition's patient rate, what percentage of 278 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: the public is in the labor force, and it has 279 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: been at an all time loan recent years, and a 280 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: lot of young guys checked out. We're talking, you know, 281 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: in the basement playing Nintendo, drinking beer, doing drugs. I mean, 282 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: most of the heroin addicts are fentanyl addicts are young men, 283 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: and most of them are young men who can't do 284 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: white collar work. They can't do office jobs. That's what 285 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: the factories were for. And you know, in return, we 286 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: got a lot of cheap goods, and that's been the 287 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: eternal debate. It's like, hey, you know, the the to say, hey, 288 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: you know we got look look at GDP. You know 289 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: this this has created a wealthier nation because goods are 290 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: cheaper now. Yeah, but there's a lot of people without, 291 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: without meaningful work. Quality of life is terrible for them. 292 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: And I have read some economists or some politicians say, 293 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: in retrospect people from like the Clinton administration, you know what, 294 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: we didn't factor that in. We didn't think about the 295 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: people who needed factory work because that's where their talents 296 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: lied lay. That's what they were capable of doing. They 297 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: didn't think about the individuals. All they were thinking is, 298 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: look how cheap these these all this rag clothing is 299 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: going to be from Walmart. And you know people wear 300 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: Walmart rags all the time. Now it's practically formal wear 301 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: in this country. Not you, obviously, you spend a fortune 302 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: on your clothing, don't. Oh you do? I do? 303 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 6: I really don't you really, I just have a lot 304 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 6: of clothes and they look nice. 305 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: That would equal a fortune. Then you wear cheap clothing. 306 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 3: I don't spend a lot of money on clothes. I 307 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: truly don't. 308 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: You just have a lot I do. 309 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 3: I mean this jacket. 310 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: How many leopards did you kill for that? 311 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 3: Probably bought this twenty years ago. I'm not kidding you. 312 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: Oh, so that's a real leopard code be a leopard. 313 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: It's foe's faux that has a leopard print. 314 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: How many foes did you kill? I don't know. 315 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 3: I just bought it. 316 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: I didn't All right, when we come back, we have 317 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: two candidates for governor that you never heard of. They're 318 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: both Democrats. Uh, there's a lot of unemployed or so 319 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: soon to be unemployed politicians who are looking for a 320 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: new work and so they're going to run for governor 321 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: because for the first time in many years, we have 322 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: a wide open race with no clear air apparent. I 323 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: was thinking about that that this this is a little different. 324 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: So on the Democrats side, you're getting all these all 325 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: these hacks, A lot of them have worked in the 326 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: Newsom administration. Just what we need a third term of 327 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: the Newsom administration, or really the fifth, the fifth term 328 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: of Jerry Brown.

He was in the legislature, 337 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: He was a congressman. He ended up being the Attorney 338 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: General of California under Newsom and then was selected by 339 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Biden had a thing for picking up a 340 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: loser California politicians like Kamala Harris was the vice president 341 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: and this guy was named Secretary of Health and Human Services. 342 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: Hobbyer Bakaria Javier Bakaria, Sabber Bakaria. That's how Biden introduced 343 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 1: him when he was when he was selected. Now, Hobbyer 344 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: Bakaria is actually Xavier Bessera Hobbier Bakaria. Right. No, nobody 345 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: knew five years ago that Biden was senile. Right, Hobbier Bakaria. 346 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: Hobbier Bakaria. Well, uh, Bakorea is now running for governor. 347 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll call him governor Bakaia. Hobbyer Bakaria, and he 348 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: announced and Alex Michaelson from Fox eleven is having him 349 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: on as a guest on the issue is, which runs 350 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: tomorrow night at ten thirty. But we haven't had an 351 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: advanced lip and now you're going to hear he is 352 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: such a political hack. You're going to hear the hackiest 353 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: answer a politician can give. Alex keeps pushing him for 354 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: specifics on what he's going to do differently. It's that 355 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: question again, same thing that tripped up Kamala Harris. Listen 356 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: to Bakaria spew for a couple of. 357 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 7: Minutes expensive to live in California for a lot of people, 358 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 7: right that housing affordability, It is all the rest of that. 359 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 4: But whose fault is that? 360 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 7: Because Democrats have had a super majority in Sacramento for 361 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 7: decades now run every statewide office, isn't that the Democrats fault? 362 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: Well, it's a. 363 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 4: Growing issue we've had. Remember we've had Republican governors as well. 364 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: At homes too. 365 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, Arnold Torzenegger was elected in two thousand and six. 366 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 4: I guarantee you Holmes in California two thousand and six, 367 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 4: we're too expensive back then, I. 368 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 7: Know, but it's gone up a lot in the last 369 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 7: twenty years. 370 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 4: We have not tackled it the way we should. And 371 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 4: I think principally the reason we have this issue in 372 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: California on price is because we haven't built enough, and 373 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 4: that means it's a type market. Everyone still wants to 374 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 4: come to California. People may be leaving, but there are 375 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of people who would love to be 376 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 4: at a live in California. 377 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 7: Well, from a policy perspective, what specific change are you 378 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 7: proposing that would be different than the status quo right 379 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 7: now that would make a difference and make prices less 380 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 7: in California. 381 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I can tell you that status quo business as 382 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 4: usual is not on California California voter's mind as the 383 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 4: thing to do, and so I think all of us 384 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 4: are going to be talking change. But here's what I 385 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 4: would do. I would take the experience I had having 386 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 4: to lead this country at the Department of Health and 387 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 4: Human Services out of a pandemic, a once in a 388 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 4: lifetime pandemic, having to negotiate for the first time in 389 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: our history, the lower prices for prescription drugs of some 390 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 4: of the most expensive drugs. 391 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: Just stop a second. You noticee hasn't said is what 392 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: he's going to do differently than what Gavin Newsom has 393 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: been doing, because he's not going to do anything differently. 394 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: He was part of the Newsome administration a few years 395 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: ago Health in Human Services. Do you know what he 396 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: did there? He was in charge of lockdown policies and 397 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: vaccine policies. He once said it is absolutely the government's 398 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: business to know people's vaccination status. He's one of those guys. 399 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: We had the harshest climate here in California for lockdowns 400 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: and he didn't do any good. You know, we ended 401 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: up very similar to the way Florida ended up, which 402 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: had a lot of freedom early on, but he was 403 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: a lockdown and required vaccination guy. Play more. 404 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 4: Lower prices for prescription drugs of some of the most 405 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 4: expensive drugs that our seniors on Medicare program have to use. 406 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 4: I would say say, you need to bring the problem 407 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 4: right to the table with the best experts there. You 408 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 4: scrub it and then whatever is left, whatever's clean and survives. 409 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 4: That's what you do, and we've not. 410 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: You get experts together, you talk about all the possibilities, 411 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: and then you scrub it. You scrub it with like 412 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: a brellopad what what what does that mean? You scrub it? 413 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: I've never heard that used. Is that like doging it? Oh, 414 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: they're not going to be doging They're not going to 415 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: be like rooting out of the fraud and waist continue, 416 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: bring the problem. 417 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: Right to the table with the best experts. There, you 418 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 4: scrub it again, and then whatever is left, whatever's clean 419 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 4: and survives. That's what you do. And we've not been 420 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 4: willing to do that because of all the politics, all 421 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 4: the old ways of doing things. We get caught up 422 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 4: in this knee jerk reaction that we can't do it 423 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 4: that way. Time to change. 424 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 7: But is there a specific policy change that you would 425 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 7: propose time to make a difference on some of these 426 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 7: affordability issues? 427 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 4: I think so, uh housing development. I think everyone agrees 428 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 4: we don't build enough. It's not enough to say, okay, 429 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 4: we all agree we don't build enough and they're not 430 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 4: doing anything that If I agree, then everyone from all 431 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 4: sides of this sit down. Scrub it. Because this is 432 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 4: what I had to do with COVID. This is what 433 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 4: I had to do when we're trying to get rid 434 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 4: of monkey pox, MPOs. This is what I had to 435 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 4: do when we were figuring out what prices to negotiate 436 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 4: on the drugs, figure out where we could go and 437 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: then use. 438 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: So wait, does he want us to wash our hands 439 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: like in COVID When we had COVID, Well, we scrubbed it. 440 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: When we had monkey pox, we scrubbed it. He caught 441 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: himself too monkey pile. Yeah. Way, we scrubbed COVID and 442 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: we scrubbed monkey pox. He was into mandatory masking, mandatory vaccines, 443 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: even pregnant women in infants. Yeah, yeah, you want this guy? Huh. 444 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: You know, people talk about how they want the control 445 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: of their body, you know, when it comes to reproductive rights. 446 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: Can we have control of our body when it comes 447 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: to injecting vaccines that carry elements of a deadly virus 448 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: in them? By the way, we played a clip of 449 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: this last week of Patrick Sun Chiang, the time Z owner. 450 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: But you know, his real business in life has been 451 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: a science researcher. He actually cured cancer, a certain kind 452 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: of cancer. That's how he made his billions of dollars. 453 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: He invented a cancer drug and then manufactured it for 454 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: a time and then sold two companies for several billion dollars. 455 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: And he's been doing research, and he thinks that the 456 00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: spike in cancers, by colorectal cancer in younger people is 457 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: related to the COVID virus and maybe the COVID vaccine. 458 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: So the government forced vaccines on a lot of people. 459 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 3: Although we did it voluntarily, every single one of them. 460 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: We did it voluntarily. And that that's the last time 461 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it. I hope I escape this, 462 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: this cancer surge that's going on in this country. That 463 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: that I mean, since Youyan said he hasn't slept for 464 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: two years. He's so consumed with worry. He did a 465 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: podcast with Tucker Carlson. It's on the iHeart app too. 466 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: You ought to listen to this. It's a couple of hours, 467 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: but it's it's worth it. And Trump wanted him to 468 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: have a position in the administration, uh in a medical 469 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: role obviously, and others who were involved in the whole 470 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: COVID policy debacle blocked him from getting in. He's got 471 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: I had some pretty scary stuff to say about how 472 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: this virus in the vaccine may lead to the cancer 473 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: surge now, and he's also got some really intriguing, worrisome 474 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: stuff about the politics going on inside these health agencies. Well, 475 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: I got a lot on Besarah, but not now. Plenty 476 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: of time. I'm keeping a Javier Bakaria file.

So it's all they. 512 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: Dressed their dogs up. Oh I thought they were dressing 513 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: as dogs. I thought this was like a furry gate thing. No, okay, 514 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: all right, one, all right, so you dress up your 515 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: dog and you bring all right. 516 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 8: That's better, absolutely, and it's gonna the weather is going 517 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 8: to be absolutely perfect. It's going to be like seventy 518 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 8: five to eighty this Sunday, And so if you want 519 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 8: to get out of the house on Sunday morning, it's 520 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 8: not even super super early because the event starts at eight, 521 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 8: the walks at nine, and all the money that we raised, 522 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 8: as you mentioned, goes to Pasadena Humane And you know, 523 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 8: we've partnered with them for quite a while and they 524 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 8: do such great work to take care of animals and 525 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 8: get them to the health that they need to be 526 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 8: so that they are ready to be adopted and find 527 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 8: their forever homes. And this year is even more even 528 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 8: more important to donate because they take in animals that 529 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 8: were affected by the Eton fire. You know, when people 530 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,479 Speaker 8: lose their homes, dogs lose their homes too, And they 531 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 8: took in like twelve hundred animals in the days after 532 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 8: the fires. They were finding animals in the rubble a 533 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 8: week later and then taking them in and treating them 534 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 8: and nursing them back to health. And what they're doing 535 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 8: is really really amazing. 536 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: Were they able to find the owners in most cases? 537 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 8: In most cases, yeah, they've reunited the owners and then 538 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 8: any the few that they weren't able to, they get 539 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 8: them ready for adoption, and they make them available for adoption. 540 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 8: There's a few I think there. I think it's just 541 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 8: like a handful that were found after the fires and 542 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 8: haven't been placed in homes yet. And then the other 543 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 8: thing that they're doing is because you know, nine thousand 544 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 8: homes are destroyed, and that means that the people don't 545 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 8: have a place to keep their animals, and so they 546 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 8: still have a couple hundred. I believe that that they're 547 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 8: boarding for free until they can get their dogs back 548 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 8: with their families. So they know that they're there, they 549 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 8: just don't have a place to keep them right now. 550 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 8: So Pasadena Humane's taking them in, all right. 551 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: It's a lot of work, all right. So go through 552 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: the day and the time and the location again. 553 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 8: Okay, it's this Sunday, April sixth.
