Don't do that. 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: The roads will be backed up. More cars will take 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: to the road than ever. We hear that every holiday. 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: Are we done? It's a new record number of people 22 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: driving and the. 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 4: HP will be out in full force looking for people 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 4: that are driving under the infrarem I saw it. 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: I saw some jackass cop. He was giving a He 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: was giving a ticket to somebody on this very quiet 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: street on my way home this morning. It's like a 28 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: street that there's no crime happening on this street. There's 29 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: no crazy driving going on. It's near a golf course. 30 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: It's very residential, nothing's happening. But he was one of 31 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: these late lying in wait. Cops probably got him stop sign. 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Now it wasn't a stop sign, I 33 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: don't think. But maybe going too fast. I don't know. 34 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: That's just reprehensible when you randomly pick private citizens off 35 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: the street just to. 36 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: Steal one hundred bucks. Maybe it's a criminal. He found 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: somebody a big warrant for the guy. 38 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: No, I liked it wasn't a criminal. 39 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 5: No. 40 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 2: I heard some statistic this morning, and I've decided I 41 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: did that. We've said enough, how many how many words 42 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: on average do you think a person speaks a day? 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: I got intrigued by this when I heard this male 44 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: or female person, So it would be averaging all males 45 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: and females together, because men speak far less than women do. 46 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: Not true statistically, Oh that's true. That is too true. Actually, 47 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: they found out it's pretty even. I've seen stuff where 48 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: it's astronomically different. 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: Well, according to a study release, men talk just as 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: much as women, an average of sixteen thousand words in 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: a day to who using digital voice recorders over an 52 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: eight year period. Researchers at the University of Arizona studied 53 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: how many words that hundreds of American and Mexican college 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: students spoke over several days. That's where they came up 55 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: with this research. So they were college students. If you 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: consider them to be different men than they. 57 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: I reject that study. You do, yes, that that does 58 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: not comport to my life. Are the type right? No, 59 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: it's not a stereotype. It's my real life experience. I know. 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: But your study is ten people. You don't think women 61 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 2: talk more than men? 62 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: Some men talk a lot, Yeah, I see, depends on 63 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: what a man does. 64 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: I mean, men that work jobs where they have to 65 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: be on the phone talking to people's sales and stuff. 66 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: Like that, they'll talk a lot. It's not all social stuff. 67 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: I know. Imber. I remember specifically seeing a study and 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, that makes sense based on just based 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: on life. I see. I'm told constantly I don't talk 70 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: enough at home. 71 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: Well, you're brought down from all the talking that you 72 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: do at work. 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: Well, that might be. 74 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: Now another study does say and this one came August first, 75 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. But this is what I find unbelievable. 76 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: Now it says women speak about twenty thousand words a day, 77 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 2: thirteen thousand more than the average man. 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: That's the one I saw. That's the one. It wasn't 79 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: even close. The first study is just fake news. I'm 80 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: trying to see where from. I'm trying to see where 81 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: this study comes from. The link isn't working. Oh, here 82 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: it is. Oh it's it's the Sun, that tabloid, the Sun. 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: You can't trust anything out of there. Well, I'm starting 84 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: to wonder if you see where they got this research from, 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: because they've at least cited a research out of the 86 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: University of Avazone. See, I've read there's a lot of 87 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: woke research going on, and I wonder if they tailor 88 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: now research to combat myths that or combat things that 89 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: woke people disagree with because they think it's a stereotype. 90 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: It was the Relationship Guide Men are from Mars, women 91 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: are from Venus. Well, they would come up with a conclusion, Oh, 92 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: is that the author of that book He said he 93 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: interviewed one hundred thousand male and female executives to study 94 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: their workplace communication, so a lot of that was based 95 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: on workplace communication. The talkative nature of women has been 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 2: confirmed in many studies. This story says, all right, so 97 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: this one supports your theory. I think Debra Mark speaks 98 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: a lot of words in a day I would have imagine. 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 4: But you know what, Ken, Honestly, when I get home, 100 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 4: I'm not that talkative. 101 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: I really don't feel like still. 102 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: What I understand? You just stare at like streaming shows 103 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: all night. 104 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 3: Well, yes I do. I veg out if you know. 105 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: Like a thousand different shows. 106 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 4: Because I'm tired of talking for five and a half 107 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 4: hours every day. 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: Well you're only on the air every fifteen minutes. 109 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: Well, but it's still a lot. 110 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: And by the way, Jo, I'm may be tired of 111 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: listening to I'm sure the heck have you sauntered into 112 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: the studio and talk to John Man? Where are you? John? 113 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 4: Your wife just texts me and she said that you 114 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 4: talk to your iPad at home. 115 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 3: You're pretty much mute at home, but you talk to 116 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 3: your ipee. What kind of conversations do you have with 117 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: your iPad. 118 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: No, that's just her snarky little joke. He thinks I 119 00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: read too much. 120 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: Today is Friday, which no different even though it is 121 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: a super holiday getaway weekend. You right, if I got duper, 122 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,559 Speaker 2: it's a good thing you're there today. And an extra 123 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: word you tossed in. Yeah, we'll have the moistline and 124 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: we will have a hack for the dumpster. It took 125 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: a little convincing to get some mob members to come 126 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: in today because you know, it's a. 127 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: Drinking weekend for them. I guess, I don't know, but 128 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: they will be here in the three o'clock hour to 129 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: help us throw a hack and a dumpster. And the 130 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: clue would be what would be a first time for 131 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: this person to be thrown into our dumpster? 132 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: That's always nice and it would sort of conclude a trifecta. 133 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: We'll explain what that means coming up in the three 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: o'clock hour. 135 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: Of course. 136 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: One of the big stories this week was the stabbing 137 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: of the bus driver in Woodland Hills on the Metro 138 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: train and the sort of stunning development. I guess yesterday 139 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 2: afternoon during our show that they arrested a seventeen year 140 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: old and I maybe it's just me. I'm looking at 141 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: the story in the Southern Californian News Group. 142 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: A boy. 143 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: I just hate reading that because when you stab people, 144 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: you're not a boy anymore, and I want you tried 145 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: as an adult. Well it's illegal, that's the thing. 146 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: Legal. A teen I could have accepted. I hate to 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: see boy because then I think of like an eight 148 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: year old. Yeah, I frequently they well they don't call 149 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: him man. 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: You know a teen would have done, because that's in 151 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: between a boy and a man. Yeah, I mean, except 152 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: I don't think when I was seventeen, I wanted people 153 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 2: to call me a boy. Just feel like that's no. 154 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: In another paragraph, they called him a teenage boy. They 155 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: thought he was twenty one. But we got the news 156 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: that they got this guy in custody, and of course 157 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: they can't tell us much about him because he is underage. 158 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: I think when you do that kind of savage stabbing, 159 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: there should be no rules on what we could know exactly. 160 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean that that's ridiculous. He's not an and this 161 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: is for. 162 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: All intents and purposes, murderer. Yeah you didn't. Thankfully. The 163 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: bus driver is probably going to survive, but that's what 164 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: he wanted to do. 165 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: I wonder what condition though. One of the terrible things 166 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: the news media does is they say the victim will survive. Well, yeah, 167 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: but in what what's the perpondition? Yes, I mean how 168 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: many organs have been stabbed and how much you know? 169 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Is his digestive system ruined? Is he got is his 170 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: lungs compromised for the rest of his life? Is he 171 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: got terrible scars? Not to mention the emotional scars. I 172 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: mean that that phrase is just Okay, he's not dead, 173 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: I'll branch you that. But there's still a lot of 174 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: damage that goes on because he lost a lot of 175 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: blood too, people, brain damage. Did you see Salmon Rushti 176 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: came in public for the first time or two ago. 177 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: He's missing that right eye was all like covered up 178 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: and he's got a black eye patch on What they 179 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: do with that guy? I wonder. I hope he got 180 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: treated like a murderer, because it's essentially what it is. 181 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: You've maimed somebody and changed their life completely. Yeah, that 182 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: that should be treated like murder. I do the death 183 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: penalty for that too. 184 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: We also don't know a lot about how they caught 185 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: this teen so quickly. A surveillance video and the photos 186 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: that went out were probably very helpful for the people 187 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: to say just to phone in and say, I think 188 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: I know. 189 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: Who that is, because it was pretty clear when you 190 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: looked at the pictures of him on the bike. I 191 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: wondered if he was a local. If he was a local, 192 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: he would have gotten identified, you know, one hundred times. 193 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: But we're not going to know, are we, because he's 194 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: a he's a juvenile, you know, if he's some loser 195 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: kid coming out of Texas or Tennessee, who was you know, 196 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: whacked out on mass and he took a bus here, right, 197 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: because he's obviously deranged in some way. 198 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,359 Speaker 2: Whether the next chapter is to see what George Gasconne 199 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: does with them. The La County District Attorney thinks, if 200 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: you're under eighteen, we shouldn't take too seriously what you 201 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: do because you have not developed mentally and maturity wise. 202 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: So that's been his policy dealing with a lot of 203 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: underage criminals. So I don't know what he's going to 204 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: do with this one. I mean, this is a severe state. Well, 205 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: the LAPD chief put it, it was beyond what was 206 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: he saying, beyond life threatening or beyond beyond life threatening. Right, 207 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: that still hasn't been defined. Something could be beyond life 208 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: threatening and not death. 209 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 2: But all right, when we come back, the Metro board 210 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: is adopted a budget. What timing they adopted the budget yesterday, 211 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: which is funding for the bus and the rail operations. 212 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: What did they do about security and the homeless. We'll 213 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: talk about all that coming up next. Johnny kenk I 214 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 2: AM six forty were live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. 215 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 216 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 217 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: We're on the radio till four o'clock. After four do 218 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: the podcast Johnny Ken on demand. 219 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: All right, Well, of course, big story this week was 220 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: the stabbing of the bus driver on the metro system 221 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: in Woodland Hills. Happened a couple of days ago, and 222 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: they announced the arrest of a seventeen year old in 223 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: that crime almost simultaneously. Kind of weird. The La Metro 224 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: Board has adopted a brand new budget. Nine billion dollars 225 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 2: is spent on that bus and rail system and they 226 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,479 Speaker 2: claim that they have over eight hundred and eighty thousand 227 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: weekday riders on their bus and rail system and what 228 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: they also call their micro transit service. 229 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that is, but. 230 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: They claim that ridership is actually up comparing April of 231 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three to April of twenty twenty two, which 232 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: is their highest ridership since the pandemic hit back in 233 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: March of twenty twenty. Of course, a lot of questions 234 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: arise about what are they going to do about the 235 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 2: stink and homeless and the violence. 236 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: Well, they don't want to do anything. This is the problem. 237 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: We know what to do. There's no debate on what 238 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: to do. They are going to spend to do it. 239 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: They're going to spend thirteen percent more on cleaning, two 240 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: hundred and one million dollars to clean the buses, and 241 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: that's great, but the cleaning is not the issue. Now. 242 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: They're going to hire forty more Metro transit security officers mostly, 243 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 2: they say, to patrol the buses. 244 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: That does that seem like a lot? Like a lot? 245 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: No, I couldn't tell you how many buses there are 246 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: in the city. It's it's it's the county joins Metro. 247 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: What happens with media coverage and what happens with the 248 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: way the Metro agency tries to publicize what they do 249 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: is it's it's all about numbers and and it's about 250 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: this percentage increase and how many million dollars more, and 251 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: it's all irrelevant. When you hear two hundred million dollars 252 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: for cleaning, you think that's incredible, but I don't. I 253 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: don't know how. 254 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: Many buses and trains and benches in all the areas 255 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: that they have to clean up are It's probably not 256 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: that much money. 257 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: And what I don't know is is any of this 258 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: going to be effective, because nothing's been effective so far. 259 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: That they've had one hundred and fifty eight attacks and 260 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: last year on metro bus and train drivers, so that's 261 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: a lot. That's you know, almost one every two days 262 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: one of those guys gets attacked. So all the money 263 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: that they spent last year, which was a lot, right, 264 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: they've got what not what's the percent increase this year. 265 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what the percent increase on. But it 266 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if what matters is are there going to 267 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: be fewer people getting stabbed and assaulted, not only the 268 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: passengers but the guys who are driving the trains and buses. 269 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: That's what matters, not the money. The money often goes 270 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: into a black hole and everything is about the money. 271 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: The money, the money. Now, are you going to get 272 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: armed officers on the trains and the buses, on the platforms, 273 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: in the stations, Armed officers who are allowed to take 274 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: immediate action and do whatever it takes to stop the 275 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: threats and do whatever it takes to keep the threats 276 00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: at bay. 277 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: They sports discussion that they did more enforcement in March, 278 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: and they claimed that violent crime was actually down on 279 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 2: the rail and the buses in March. How much I 280 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 2: guess that's compared to a year before. Yeah, and then 281 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: a thirty two percent jump and arrests on the rail 282 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: system in March because they did a whole They claim 283 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: they did this big anti drug use enforcement action. Because 284 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: the stories they came out the first couple of months 285 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: of the year were just horrendous when it came to 286 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: crime and drug use on the trains. 287 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: You got to give me a year. They're starting at 288 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: such high levels of crime that they play the game. 289 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, things are down x percent. It's like, well, 290 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: wait a second, even if it's down, is that a 291 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: really bad number? No, you know, we should have a calm, 292 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: peaceful environment. There's no excuse not to have that and 293 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: everything should be done to get rid of the bad guys. Whatever. 294 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: It takes, no excuse, and so you know, you give 295 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: them a year and then a year from now we're 296 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: going to be told, well, you know, we we did 297 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: start these programs in that programs are not everything worked. 298 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: It's like, well, if you don't use armed officers to 299 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: force bad guys out of the system, then you're going 300 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: to fail. 301 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: But if you're going to hire twenty four more full 302 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: time custodians fifty temporary cleaning workers, they claim they're going 303 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: to clean the trains not just at the end of 304 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: the line, but also mid service. They're going to spend 305 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: thirteen and a half million dollars more for oh, no 306 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: outreach to the homeless sleeping on the trains. 307 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: Now, what I want to read is that they're going 308 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: to throw almeless people off the trains immediately. 309 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: The new law enforcement contracts with the LAPD and the 310 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: Sheriff's Department in the Long Beach, they're going to it's 311 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: going to grow four percent. We're going to spend one 312 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five million dollars on the security for 313 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: those agencies. 314 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so the total Oh. 315 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: And of course they're going to spend on their transit ambassadors. Yeah, 316 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: so which their total spending on security is too hundred 317 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: and ninety million. 318 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna have outreach workers, ambassadors, cops who aren't allowed 319 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: to do anything. You're gonna have a lot of bodies 320 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: walking around or maybe not. I don't know if any 321 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: of these increases are enough. I mean, how many trains 322 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: are there every day that run? How many train cars 323 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: got eight hundred and eighty thousand passengers? You know, finding 324 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: out you're hiring twenty four custodians doesn't seem like it's 325 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: that big a deal. The thing that surprised me is 326 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: the budget is nine billion dollars, but the cost to 327 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: actually operate the system is only two and a half billion. 328 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: You might say, where's the other six and a half 329 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: billion go, Well, they're continuing to capital projects. They got 330 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: all these extensions that they're building. Got to spend all 331 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: this money on construction costs for these extensions on some 332 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: of these train lines. So where does it go. It 333 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: goes to unions. Yeah, that's where the money goes because 334 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: the unions want all this construction, and so they and 335 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: their bribes to all the people on the Metro board 336 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: and all the people on the city Council and the 337 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors, because a lot of those characters are 338 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: on the metro board. They have two jobs. So that's 339 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: what this is about. This is this is getting the 340 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: unions a lot of money. Is this all necessary? Doesn't matter. 341 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: These are going to be more trained cars for more 342 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: almost people to sleep. 343 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: In the other thing that jumped out two point four 344 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: billion dollars to operate the system. Their fair revenues are 345 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 2: only one hundred and forty seven million, so they take 346 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: in federal's grants are going to increase. 347 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: By seven hundred and sixty six million over last year's. Yeah, 348 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: they're subsidized heavily, right, So it's it's it's a loser system. 349 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And to be honest, most transit systems are, 350 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: even New York system is completely a loser system. So 351 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: there's very common for so there's a rapid transit system. 352 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: There's no market for this. If this was a business, 353 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: it would be okay. So why are we paying nine 354 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: billion dollars for something that there's no market for? 355 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 2: Because they want us out of our cars, and they 356 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 2: also believe that it's for poor people who can't afford 357 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: to drive cars that need to ride the trains in 358 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 2: the busy stem. 359 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: We need to provide them away of transit. I guess, well, 360 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: they want us out of the cars. No, what they 361 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: want to do is they're corrupt. They want bribes from 362 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: union officials so that the union workers could keep building 363 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: rail lines that we don't need. We don't need these 364 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: rail lines, we don't use them. It's a small number 365 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: of people that use them. At that eight hundred and 366 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: eighty thousand, how many individuals are on those trains, You 367 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: have to cut it at least in half. Right, everybody 368 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: takes a round trip, So now we're down to four 369 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand. Yeah, I guess that's how they counted, right, 370 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 1: that's yeah. I had two categories, the rides, and then 371 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: they had the number of people. But you're right, it 372 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: could be the same person coming and going. All right, 373 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: we got more coming up. 374 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: Johnny Ken kf I AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 375 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 376 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 377 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 1: Podcast goes up after four o'clock. Johnny can on demand 378 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: listen to it over and over all weekend. 379 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: All right, Well, We covered the story this week that 380 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 2: up in San Francisco, the mayor decided to have an 381 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: outdoor meeting about the drug problem. There it got chaotic 382 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 2: and they moved inside. In fact, somebody threw a brick. 383 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: Everybody was screaming and yelling at the speakers. They decided 384 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: it didn't make any sense. And when I read people 385 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: were yelling from all sorts of viewpoints, you're not doing 386 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 2: enough about the drug problem. I'll leave them alone. There's 387 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: too many drug dealers anyway. The drug addicts were upset 388 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: now because reports that she may start arresting people, and it's. 389 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: Like, what, oh, no, the drug war failed. You can't 390 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: do that. Well, is everything like falling apart now? The 391 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: whole progressive movement? Because what was the thing we just 392 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: talked about about the metro board passing this huge budget 393 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: and hiring more of more security. That's the end of 394 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: defund the police. And now is this the end of 395 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: tolerating open drug use in public? Well. 396 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: Michael Schellenberger, who ran for governor, we had on our 397 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: show many times. He, of course, is a best selling 398 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: author of a number of books, including San friand Sicko. 399 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 2: He appeared on Fox News to talk about this outdoor 400 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: attempt to have a forum on San Francisco's drug problem, 401 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 2: and as usual, he nails what's going on in that city. 402 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: Let's play an excerpt. 403 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 6: The mayor also said, compassion is killing people. We have 404 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 6: to change what's happening. It's too easy to get drugs. 405 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 6: They're dying under our watch. We have to do better. 406 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 6: What we are doing is not working. So that's an admission, Michael. 407 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 7: It is although she said the exact same thing almost 408 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 7: a year and a half ago and really didn't do anything. 409 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 7: So this is a person that lacks leadership. I don't 410 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 7: think there's any question that she's going to be voted 411 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 7: out of office in a year and a half. 412 00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: Really. Yeah. 413 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 7: I just think that the city is out of control. 414 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 7: I mean every time we think it's hit rock bottom, 415 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 7: it discovers a new bottom. I mean, someone threw a 416 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 7: brick at her yesterday and. 417 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: Ended up hitting a high school student. 418 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 6: Wow. 419 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 7: They had to evacuate the mayor from the scene because 420 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 7: it was so chaotic. This is in an open air 421 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 7: drug market where the mayor herself had created a so 422 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 7: called supervised drug site that basically invited in drug dealers. Right, 423 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 7: across the street and allowed people to smoke fenceanyl and 424 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 7: meth in a city. 425 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 8: Supervisor, why would she have an event there. 426 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: I think that they're out to lunch. I think that 427 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: they talk to themselves. They're in a bubble. 428 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 7: They don't really understand how bad the situation is on 429 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 7: the street. These are folks that don't actually go downtown anymore. 430 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 7: I mean, you go to San Francisco's downtown right now 431 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 7: and it's like a zombie apocalypse. 432 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean there's just not people going. 433 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 7: I mean, you going to New York and I'm like, wow, 434 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 7: all the people on the street enjoying the city. 435 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: It depends on where you are, okay there, but we're. 436 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 7: Talking about large parts of San Francisco. This is the 437 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 7: epicenter of the AI boom. This is a major tech 438 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 7: this is the tech capital of the world, and it's 439 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 7: been and over to open air drug scenes, open air 440 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 7: drug dealing, all run by drug cartels. I mean, it's 441 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 7: just as bad as people imagine. 442 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 5: You know. 443 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 7: The latest you know, as we as we were talking 444 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 7: about before, is that there's actually we've now discovered there's 445 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 7: feces that cover so many of San Francisco's streets in 446 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 7: part because of all of. 447 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 9: The homeless drug addicts need leadership share with our viewers. 448 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 9: A city survey, right, this is the rating in San 449 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 9: Francisco for some of the hardest hit areas. Straight letters 450 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 9: sixty four percent moderate to severe okay, Sidewalk pavement defects 451 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 9: seventy five percent moderate to severe, graffiti seventy one percent 452 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 9: moderate to severe. 453 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: I've got to start somewhere. 454 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 7: I mean, you would never guess that this is one 455 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 7: of the richest city in the country, with the most billionaires, 456 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 7: anywhere one hundred million dollars a year just to clean 457 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 7: the streets, and they can't keep them clean. I mean 458 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 7: there's graffiti everywhere. It's chaos. Five hundred and forty police 459 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 7: officers short of what we need for a minimum to 460 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 7: maintain basic order. When you can't even protect the mayor 461 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 7: in a public space, you've really lost the plot. 462 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 8: And at the same time, there is a consideration that 463 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 8: the city wants to move forward, perhaps on a reparations proposal. 464 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: This call for number four. 465 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 8: The cost of San Francisco's reparation proposals nearly six hundred 466 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 8: thousand dollars per household, and then the New York Times 467 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 8: headline can reparations bring Black residents back to San Francisco? 468 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 8: Saying San Francisco has proposed the nation's most ambitions reparations plan, 469 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 8: including five million dollars cash payments and housing aid, that 470 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 8: aims to bring people back. 471 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: Is this going to happen? Will it work? 472 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 7: I mean, on its face, this is a racist initiative. 473 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: We do not do. 474 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 7: We should not be giving people money based on the 475 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 7: color of their skin. This is not what doctor King 476 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 7: wanted in his March on Washington, where we want to 477 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 7: get beyond all of that. We did do great reparations 478 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 7: in the past for the actual victims of government mistakes, 479 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 7: such as the Japanese internment camps, But in this case, 480 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 7: we're talking about several one hundred year, one hundred and 481 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 7: fifty years this past. This is based on race, and 482 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 7: I just think none of us in California want that. 483 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 7: We've not rejected racial preferences twice at the ballot in California. 484 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: This is not aligned with our values. That's Michael Sellenberger 485 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: on Fox News yesterday about the disaster that San Francisco is. 486 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: He also has a newsletter which I subscribed to on Substack, 487 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: and he wrote in his newsletter. When Harper Collins published 488 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: my book San Francico in twenty twenty one, book that 489 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: we've read, and we had him on to talk about 490 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: it several times. Much of the mainstream news media denounced 491 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: me for, they said, exaggerating the role drug addiction plays 492 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 1: in homelessness. The Atlantic, the New York Times, the San 493 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: Francisco Chronicle, in the Los Angeles Times wrote peace after Peace, 494 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: explaining that I was wrong and that people on the 495 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: street were there because they couldn't afford the rent. And 496 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: what he writes here is the most prominent ad advocates 497 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: of allowing people to sell and used hard drugs like 498 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: meth and fentanyl in public places have been writers for 499 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: The New York Times, The Atlantic, the Chronicle, and the 500 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: LA Times. He says London Breed was just doing what 501 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: they were pushing publicly in their newspapers. And you know, 502 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: there's got to come a time where you realize, first 503 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: of all, these newspapers, these publications are complete jokes, completely discredited. 504 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: They've employed absolute lunatics who have helped create an environment 505 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: where public officials feel comfortable doing incredibly stupid, destructive things 506 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: that lead to a lot of people's deaths, and I 507 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: think enough is enough. It is time to really shut 508 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: down this whole progressive line of thinking. And the writers 509 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: and the broadcasters and the politicians who promote this destructive 510 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: garbage were long past the time. No no more debating them, 511 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: no more trying to prove them wrong. They have to 512 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: really be shut down. I mean, we got to got 513 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: not even click on these stories and and and vote 514 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 1: these people at office. London Breed is at twenty two percent. 515 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: If the election were held today, she'd get twenty two 516 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. She's going the way that that 517 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: other lunatic in Chicago, Lori Lightfoot. You got to you 518 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: gotta rint these people out of office. But the guy 519 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: that's replacing her in Chicago is worse. Did you see 520 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. First thing we're gonna do is 521 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: grab the money. 522 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 2: He announced they're gonna raise taxes unquote the wealthy goot 523 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: to fund more of his ridiculous progressive policies than in 524 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 2: four years. 525 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: They're actually going to go down before they can go up. 526 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: They're going to be farthering. I guess we're just had 527 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: a choice. 528 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: There between two starkly different candidates and they chose the 529 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: worst one on Chicago that was really too bad. 530 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I guess we're just gonna have to live 531 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: without great cities anymore, and people are going to flee 532 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: to smaller cities in the suburbs or farmlands. 533 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: But they're all going to turn to Detroit's happen. Nobody 534 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: talks about Detroit anymore because there's no one there. But 535 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: the thing is, what's proven is their way is a loser. 536 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: All they've done is lost people. They've lost tax revenue, 537 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: they've lost businesses, they've lost families. 538 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: It's a loser. Let's stop giving the time of day, 539 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: Let's stop engaging with them. They've destroyed cities. Good congratulations. 540 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: People have moved out because they don't want to deal 541 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: with this. There is no point giving them any credence 542 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: at all. All Right, we've got more coming up. 543 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: Johnny Ken, KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the 544 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. 545 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 546 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 547 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: Stay with us, of course, it's Friday. 548 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 2: We'll bring in the moistline callers in the three o'clock hour, 549 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: along with the hack to throw into the dumpster and 550 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 2: this person. Well, it was two strikes and you're out, 551 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: two stories that came close together. 552 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: Let us to conclude. 553 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 2: The committee met and voted that this hack needs to 554 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 2: be thrown into the dumpster. John doesn't attend these meetings, 555 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: neither online or in person. 556 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: I don't go to any meetings. 557 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: He just stares at his iPad and says no words. 558 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 2: To remember the old husband at the breakfast table with 559 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 2: the newspaper. You've replaced it with the iPad. I'll just 560 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 2: keep your nose in there. What do you look at it? 561 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: By the way, what are you looking at it all 562 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: the time? What are you looking at? Dirty animal pictures? 563 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: Why you want to see some? Uh? Coming up after 564 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: two o'clock. According to quote unquote or quote the. 565 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 2: Experts, we're gonna be okay this summer with electricity supply 566 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: right down. Very suspicious. Write that down, I know, be 567 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: very suspicious. We'll talk about who said that and why 568 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: after the news at two o'clock. Does a quick note. 569 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: The House of Representatives did pass a bill about fentanyl. 570 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 2: A bunch of Democrats voted know though in fact more 571 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: Demo crewds voted no than yes. And you can guess why. 572 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: It's to list fentanyl as a Schedule one drug, which 573 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: means harsher punishments come along with that. It was already 574 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: the case when Trump was president, but it was going 575 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: to expire. So what they voted for will extend it 576 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,479 Speaker 2: as a Schedule one drug. 577 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: And of course the. 578 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: Objections, and we heard this in Sacramento too when we 579 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 2: talked about fentanyl. We're not going to go back to 580 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 2: the loser war on drugs. Incarceration isn't going to solve 581 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 2: the issue. In fact, the New Jersey congressman said just 582 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 2: that Frank Polone, we simply cannot incarcerate our way out 583 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 2: of the public health. 584 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: Crist Well, we got it, we got it. We gotta 585 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: go deeper than that, because that's become like a really 586 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: stupid cliche. So let's go deeper than that. Are we 587 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: not supposed to throw into prison people who deal fentanyl 588 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: which is killing seventy thousand people? Yet? Yah, I think 589 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about dealers, not users. 590 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: They're always complaining that the users and they're just poor 591 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: and neat help. 592 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: And see, but what they what they what they do 593 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: is they intentionally blur the categories of who we're putting away. 594 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: If we're putting away dealers. What's the objection? Who objects 595 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: to that? And then they did. I was surprised they 596 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: did get almost sixty Democrats. Yeah they did. I think 597 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: they got seventy four from the seventy four Okay, maybe 598 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: I was just trying to figure out based on how 599 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: many Republicans are in the House. All right, yes, seventy 600 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: four Democrats. I mean that's not nothing. 601 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: One hundred and thirty three against though. Yeah, so mosts 602 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: voted against the Democrat Party, and. 603 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: They're the response about the color of the people who 604 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: get thrown in prison, All you have to care about 605 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: is whether they did the crime or not. Stop looking 606 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: at color. That's another thing that we have to end. 607 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: It's part of the progressive movement, the woke movement, looking 608 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: at the color of people. No, you don't look at 609 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: the color of people. Did you deal fatanel By? That's it? 610 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: And if you bring up color, I'm shutting down the conversation. 611 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear from you. I don't want 612 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: to hear your your your Really it's racist. It's absolutely 613 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: racist that you can't put people in jail who are 614 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: dealing infentadyl. That's killing thousands of teenagers because of their color. 615 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: The hell to say that out loud. You can't put 616 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: people in prison based on their color, even if they're 617 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: killing thousands of teenagers. 618 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: That's because it's disproportionate. Everything has to be proportionate applying 619 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: to this crowd. 620 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: And well, that's another loser concept, all these progressive concepts 621 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: that they have sold so relentlessly from the past, you know, 622 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: ten years or so, they've got to be busted up. 623 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: There's got to be rebellion. Yeah, we got to go 624 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: bud light on these people. 625 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: Currently, under Schedule one, a person caught trafficking ten grams 626 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: of a fentanyl and I call it an analog would 627 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: get a minimum prison sentence of five years. One hundred 628 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 2: grams would get a minimum of ten years. 629 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like much considering what it does. I mean, 630 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: if these fentanyl dealers went to a high school and 631 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: shot up ten people dead, right, Yeah, life in prisons, 632 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: death penalty. Well, how's that different from giving him fentanyl 633 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: and they're laying they're laying dead in an alleyway next 634 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: to the school. 635 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 2: By the way, the Biden White House has signaled they 636 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 2: want this bill. Well, the New York Times described it 637 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 2: as the kind of a quiet endorsement. They called it, 638 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 2: you see, because he doesn't want to tick off his 639 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 2: progressive friends that have basically been running the White House 640 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 2: with the open borders and everything else that's been going. 641 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: Would you love to see like a quiet endorsement a 642 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: Democrat who doesn't give a crap about the progressives? I mean, 643 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: is there one? Is there one willing to stand up 644 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: for democratic or liberal values? But it's not saying that. 645 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 2: A few Democrats quoted in this story said I want 646 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: to purposely go on the record in favor of this 647 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 2: bill that's sort of given the finger to the over 648 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 2: failed drug war people, but saying that, I know the 649 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: voters in my congressional district. They're going to want to 650 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 2: know I voted for this bill. I don't want my 651 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 2: opponent to point this out. I don't care what all 652 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: the national progressives say. Your congressional district is all that matters. 653 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: And if they think it's important that you'd be voting 654 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 2: for something to get tougher on fentanyl dealing, how many 655 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 2: you got. 656 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: To do that? How many dead kids do you want? 657 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: And how many dead kids are are going to pile 658 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: up on the streets before there's a huge backlash against 659 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: whoever's in power. You just think that all the parents 660 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: in this country are going to take this when every 661 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: kid is at risk. I mean, every kid could have 662 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: a moment where he takes a stray pill at a 663 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: party or in the library, or wants some adderall to 664 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: study for exams, or you know, has wants a pain 665 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: killer because their knee hurts. You just never know, and 666 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: you never know if your kid's going to do it. 667 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: Just one of the scariest things I've ever seen.
