10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Word in about fifteen minutes here on the John and

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: Ken Show. Now, the most important part of the story

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: we're going to do is contained in like a paragraph

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: or so here in the also Good Times. What this

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: is in reference to is the fact that La County

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 2: DA George Gascon announced yesterday he's investigating hotels who may

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: be hiring brand new migrants who apparently are arriving in

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: La on buses from Texas and they end up in

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: downtown La near skid Row, sometimes homeless. Well, hotels have

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: a problem because there's a lot of striking workers, so

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: they have apparently employed agencies to maybe go out and

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: recruit the migrants to fill the.

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Jobs right from skid Row.

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: And here's the part I want to read refugees and

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: asylum seekers are legally allowed to seek.

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: Work in the US.

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: Federal label law allows employers to hire replacement workers during

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: unfair labor practice, strikes and economic strikes, but unions typically

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: condemned the use of.

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: The So skulls cab labor. So what's the violation here?

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: There is no violation, then why is Guess going involved.

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: He's just grandstanding, that's all. He's full of crap. Anyway.

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's a big news conference yesterday standing there

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: with the union workers. He's trolling for union votes to

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: try to save his sorry ass. Oh yeah, right next

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: to year's primary right primaries in just four months away.

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, he wants to, you know, do a goodie

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: for the unions.

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: He says he's concerned about, Oh you love this John,

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: potential wage.

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: Theft, it's your favorite. Wage theft and violations of child

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: labor law is what he's gonna be. Yeah, wage theft.

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, I had a

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: paper right, and sometimes a guy wouldn't pay, and I'd

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: stand on his run, screaming, wage theft, wage theft, yow

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: me two dollars. It's harsh. Uh.

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: It says here that Some of the migrants on skid

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: row have been recruited in recent weeks to work at

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: unionized hotels in Santa Monica and near the airport.

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: You know what, I bet you all these unions were

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: off for the illegal immigration, right, Oh.

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for having people like migrants and then diversify

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: our workforce.

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: Right right, and then going to be future union workers

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: because a lot of the current union workers started out

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: as illegal aliens and migrants. But what's funny is if

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: someone intelligent told these union leaders, I don't think you

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: want all these illegal immigration because they're going to undercut

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: wages at some point. That's righteous, sevendophobic. No, now it's

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: literally happening. And now that's exactly how the market works.

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: This crowd has been striking for months. They don't want

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: to work, they refuse to work, and so the hotels go, hey,

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: we got to stay in business. We got these migrants

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: literally on skid row, willing to work real cheap. Say it, that'll.

64
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: Break the strike, that'll bust everything up. Fifteen thousand workers

65
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: have begun intermittent strikes at sixty southern California hotels. It

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: started in early July. Yeah, it kind of comes and goes,

67
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: I can't even keep trying.

68
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: They want so much money. The hotels either can't afford

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: it or they simply they won't afford it because they

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: know there are so many new laborers that have poured

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: into the city. I mean, greg is supplying the hotels

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: with a new workforce. Right.

73
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: They want to completely undo the old supply and demand

74
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: rules of labor. And of course when it comes to

75
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: your wages, it's the same thing. What is the supply

76
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: of people that can work at that skill level? How

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: much should you pay them? They want to completely undo.

78
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: That's why it knew some sign that dope be fast

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: food minimum wage bill, and he said the same thing. Oh,

80
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: those days are gone when it used to be a

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: high school kid who worked at the fry basket to

82
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: get some experience in the real world. These are families

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: with children and mortgages and other family members.

84
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Living with them, grandmas.

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: No, Well, that still doesn't make it right that you

86
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: have to completely upend how it works in the labor mark.

87
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: That is a communist economic system in a capitalist economic system,

88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: which they all hate, and they're trying to destroy. The

89
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: market sets the prices, what is the work worth? Well,

90
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: how much are people? How much are people? Let me see,

91
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: how do I put this? The The employer will always

92
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: see how little they can pay workers. Their motive is profit.

93
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: The worker's motivation is to make the most they can.

94
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: But if there is an abundance of labor for that

95
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: job that are easily replaceable', that'll depress the wages. If

96
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: there's a shortage of labor for that job, then the

97
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: price goes up. But that is the market. It's very fluid, yes,

98
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: And so what they have found is these people who

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: work in hotels, most of these jobs anybody can do,

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: very replaceable. So yeah, the new migrants will do it,

101
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: they'll do it cheaper, and the hotels, oh say, great,

102
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: more profit.

103
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: For us the Yelsagunda Times said eleven people living at

104
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: the skid row shelter confirmed they were hired at hotels

105
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: where employees were protesting outside. Most have migrated from Venezuela

106
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: or Colombia. They didn't want to give their names. They said, well, yeah,

107
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: they were heaving cleaning loads and long hours, but you

108
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: know what they said, they were paid nineteen dollars an hour.

109
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: You know what that's like to somebody coming from Venezuela

110
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: or Colombia to be paid nineteen dollars an hour in

111
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: the US.

112
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, and yeah right, and that's supposed to be

113
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: some kind of minimum wage too. There's a pastor named

114
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: Frank Wolf. He's been greeting migrants who arrive on the

115
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: buses from Texas. Listen to this. They were exhausted, and

116
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: they were tired, and they were scared when they came

117
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles. It's heart wrenching to find out some

118
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: of these very workers that we welcomed on those buses

119
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: are now being exploited. They're not being exploited. They're given

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: nineteen dollars an hour job. Yeah, they're homeless. Same crowd says,

121
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: this is what we preach.

122
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: If you're homeless, go get a job and make your

123
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: way in the world to find a place to live.

124
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: These same hypocrites. There's a lot of hypocrisy being exposed

125
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: this week by these foolish progressions. If there is between

126
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: Israel and Palestine in this issue, you say, we must

127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: make Lay a sanctuary city. Let the migrants come here

128
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: to work, so they show up to work first. You

129
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: bitch about Greg Abbott sending them here. But Abbot's clear

130
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: is like Texas, not Sanctuary, La Sanctuary. Okay, so he

131
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: sends a bus here. Oh, this is outrageous. I can't

132
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: believe this is cruel. Then they get off the bus

133
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: and first thing they get jobs at the hotel for

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: nineteen dollars an hour. Wha, they're getting exploited. How dare

135
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: they work? You are so full of kalmanore, you are

136
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: so full of your own poop. Honest, Now there is

137
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: a middle man here. Apparently staffing agencies work in the hires.

138
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: I like this quote from Aleen Espinoza, who's listed as

139
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: a registered agent for staffing agencies, said, our company works

140
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: with many different types of people that come from our

141
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: local community. We work hard on a daily basis to

142
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: incorporate as many people as possible into the labor market

143
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: under competent, dignified, and just conditions. Speaking, I guess about

144
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: the hotels. Go back to the first paragraph you read.

145
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: They're legally allowed to seek work. In the US, federal

146
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: law allows employers to hire replacement workers during unfair labor

147
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: practice strutskes and economic strikes. And the unions complain about it.

148
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: But who cares go ahead and complain you're not working?

149
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: The union people are standing out in the street, not working,

150
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: not doing anything productive. So other people who are grateful

151
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: to be in America, grateful to have a nineteen dollars

152
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: an hour job, they show up and do your work.

153
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: So why don't you join them instead of standing out

154
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: waving a stupid sign and chanting some stupid rhyme that's useless.

155
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: And they've learned to live without you for now. From

156
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: July August September October four months they've.

157
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: They've been talking about cook's room attendance, dis washers, servers,

158
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: Belman and front desk agents.

159
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: It's so hard to find a cook, right, that's probably

160
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: more skill position than the other ones I mentioned bell hop, Yeah,

161
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: hard to desk, hard to find a guy who's going

162
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: to carry bags to your room. Hey, you know, maybe

163
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: should go to Yale get some of those uh those

164
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: yeah PhDs. Maybe they can carry the bags. It's very

165
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: specialized industry. Jesus, all right, when we return, first thing

166
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear pretty much is the keyword. That's your

174
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: coming back?

175
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: I think anyone? I think so? Yeah?

176
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually thought she was back tomorrow, and when

177
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: she wasn't, I thought I guess her her time office

178
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: two weeks.

179
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: She She claims some listeners are sending me emails and

180
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: messages on social media asking if I still work at KFI. Well,

181
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: it's small.

182
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: There's always obsessive idiot people. But it's also that nobody's

183
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: saying things like you know, when we're out, somebody always goes,

184
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 2: we're in for today. I did for a few days.

185
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: I mean, Sandy's not saying it either. Some people don't

186
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: really know.

187
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: When they first few days, I said in for Deborah Mark, Sandy,

188
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: wells go that's you have been saying. But then I

189
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: got tired of doing that. It's just too long. The

190
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: newsroom thought you were excluding Sandy and just calling him Deborah.

191
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: But would you mind if I did that, I'll just

192
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: call you Deborah, And no, that's that's fine. Most of

193
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: the listeners won't know the difference. It's not happened on weekends.

194
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: I'll just let it fly. So uh no, she's uh,

195
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: I like what raised response though. Rai's response was you

196
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: don't no one told you. Yeah. He was quick with

197
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: a nasty lie. Let me be the first. Oh so

198
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: that's it. We're officially announced. She's coming back and going back.

199
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: She must have had a little downtime on our vacation

200
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: right now.

201
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: Of course she has the social media queen, so he's

202
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: jegging all these guys.

203
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: You got tired of looking at Leaves and Vermont.

204
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: Uh So we uh, we're just talking about the striking

205
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: hotel workers and the outrageous, outrageous news that the migrants

206
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: who were freshly arrived in Los Angeles from Texas, from

207
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: parts like Venezuela, and they're they're replacing them while they're

208
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: on strike. The hotels have been making do finding other

209
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: temporary people or making management.

210
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Fill in almost so they said, well, you know what,

211
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: maybe we're going to widen our employment base.

212
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: So they sent the agency to start finding migrants in downtown.

213
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: Lane go on strike when almost anybody who can stand

214
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: up could take your job. I mean, yeah, you could

215
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: probably get little kids to do some of these jobs.

216
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: This takes us back to the same thing we've been

217
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: talking about for years. When you bring in a lot

218
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: of immigration, illegal and illegal, and you have a lot

219
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: of poorer, unskilled workers who already have families and can't

220
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: go to college or high school. Even so they have

221
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: to take these jobs and try to support a household.

222
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: Immigrants, what's happened? That's it. Immigrants always drive down the

223
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: cost of labor always. That's why the US let's in

224
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: millions of immigrants because the business owners they like it,

225
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: and they bribe the Republican Party to keep the border open.

226
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Most Republican politicians have played this game for thirty years.

227
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: They lie to the public and talk tough on immigration,

228
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: but then when it comes time to vote or try

229
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: to get policy actually maneuvered through the system, they go

230
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: radio silent. They never actually get any immigration restrictions passed.

231
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: They never do because they are bribed by big business.

232
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the classic case was that bozo David Dryer,

233
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: the congressman that we chased after plisical human sacrifice, political

234
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: human sacrifice. He was the classic. That guy Dryer would

235
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: come on our show and he'd waste twenty minutes bloviating

236
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: with a soliloquy about they're getting tough on Mexico and

237
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: Central America. But he also said, we have to get

238
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: them up to speed and give them AID billions. We're

239
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: going to remake their countries, and their politicians steal any

240
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: money that goes that way. And then you start looking

241
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: at his voting record, and he was the biggest con man,

242
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: fire hypocrite that ever existed. I don't know where he

243
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: is today. I don't know. I mean, he stopped running

244
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: for Congress, selling strawberries on in the exit ramp on

245
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: the one ten with Gary Condit. With Gary Condit. Yeah,

246
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: they opened up a little vegetable stand there.

247
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of hacks, Adam Schiff, they're familiar with that name.

248
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: He's running for the US Senate, and of course he's

249
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 2: a longtime California Democratic congressman from the Bird Bank area.

250
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: He's decided to try to sidle up to the unions

251
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: by introducing a federal bill that would allow people on

252
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: strike to collect unemployment money. As you know, Gavin Newsom

253
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: did not sign the state bill.

254
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: He refused. They did pass the state bill.

255
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: In Sacramento to make striking workers eligible for unemployment and

256
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: we're looking, of course, right now at the that Writer's

257
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: actors strike as one of the big stories that was

258
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: going on. But he said no, So here comes shift.

259
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: It's called the.

260
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: Empowering Striker Workers Act of twenty twenty three. Workers would

261
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: be able to collect unemployment pay after two weeks on strike.

262
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: Workers would be eligible for unemployment benefits starting on the data.

263
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: Lockout begins when the employer hired permanent replacement workers, or

264
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: if the worker became unemployed after a strike or a

265
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: lockout ends, whichever is earlier. I like the way they

266
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: turn that though a lockout. Sometimes it's well, if you're

267
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: on strike, you're the one that's locking out. You've decided

268
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: that you're not going to will lock yourself out. Yeah,

269
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: you decide you're not showing up for work because you're

270
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: demanding better wages or benefits.

271
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: And of course pick.

272
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: Sponsors of the bill include SAG after the Writer's Gill,

273
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: the Team Stairs, AFLC ILH blah blah blah.

274
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: You know what.

275
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: It's fascinating the gods though that the bill will pass

276
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: with the Republican controlling the House.

277
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Pretty slip. Yeah, he's another. He just did it to grandstand.

278
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: He's running for Senate. Yeah, he's another one. He's like,

279
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: he's like Gascon. Both of them are trolling for union votes.

280
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: So Gascon is doing a phony investigation into worker abuse

281
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: at the hotels, and this guy Shift is doing a

282
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: phony bill that wouldn't pass in a thousand years with

283
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: the current makeup of Congress. Right, And by the way,

284
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: how about this, If you go on strike, think it

285
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: through because the strike might go on for a long time.

286
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: And now you're looking for investigations into your replacement workers,

287
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: You're looking for taxpayer paid subsidies. You're looking to force

288
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: businesses to refund the unemployment insurance. I mean you, in

289
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: other words, you want money from someone else because you

290
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: chose not to work anymore. You didn't like the deal,

291
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: and you had that right to strike, and you may

292
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: be right to strike, but you still chose that path,

293
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: and that means no more money.

294
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: And then there's this, and this is well the alleged

295
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,119
Speaker 2: reason knew some veto of the bill. California state unemployment

296
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: fund debt is projected to be twenty billion by the

297
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: end of the year.

298
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Now the debt is we owe the feds.

299
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: Right, California barred billions of dollars from the federal government

300
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: to cover unemployment benefits. That goes back to that toll

301
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: pandemic fiasco. Well we paid out as right.

302
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, where every fraudster and scammer in the world. You

303
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: know what. I'm reading a book on the crypto industry.

304
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Oh and I go on about it for a while.

305
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: It's fascinating book. But one of the things that hit

306
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: me in this book is there is a pool of thousands,

307
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: maybe tens of thousands or more of scammer guys, and

308
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: they move from one opportunity to the next. Like during

309
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: the COVID years, it was the unemployment benefits that all

310
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: these states were given away, right, And so they flood

311
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: the system with all kinds of phony applications that knowing

312
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: the government's not gonna is not going to be vetting

313
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: the applications, or if they do, the investigation will be

314
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: years down the road and you'll have moved on, right,

315
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: you won't be traceable. Right. Then they moved into crypto,

316
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: and and they know that they knew crypto was largely

317
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: a scam. But you know what, again, you could you

318
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: could you could bet on it for a while. You

319
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: can make fake coins, you could do all kinds of nonsense,

320
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: set up banks in the Bahamas, the whole bit, and

321
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: you get away with it. And then by the time

322
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: time the government figures it out because the bureaucrats are

323
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: all confused and oh, I don't know, this takes too long.

324
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: You move on, you go somewhere else. And that's what

325
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: they do. And it's it's a floating pool of thousands

326
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: of thousands of scammers and they're always there, usually when

327
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: the government is given away free money. All right, when

328
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: we return, this is great, and they're back to back stories.

329
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: We're gonna kind of combine, uh call it the ever

330
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: changing California approach to a climb change the environment.

331
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: What's good for us, what's not? Way do you hear

332
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: these stories? John and KENKFI AM six forty.

333
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

334
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

335
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: All right, we return now to one of our favorite

336
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: topics on the John and Ken Show over the years,

337
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: cow farts and belches. Yeah, you heard me, correct, cow

338
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: farts and belches. California's America's daily dairy capital. One point

339
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: seven million cows produced about ten billion dollars worth of milk.

340
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: Last year, but another gallon right there.

341
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: With their farts and their belches. They emit carbon dioxide

342
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: methane twenty three million tons, they say in twenty twenty.

343
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how exactly they measure that carbon dioxide

344
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: comes out of the front end and the methane comes

345
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 1: out of the back end. Yeah, in case you didn't know.

346
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: So they've obsessed over this for a number of years.

347
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: They do believe that.

348
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: In California a significant mouth of methane emissions is coming

349
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: from the dairy industry. So years ago they came up

350
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: with an idea, and the headline is let's give climate

351
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: credits for cowpoop. Well, the idea of that was to

352
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: say to the dairy farmers, you collect, I guess the

353
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: farts and the belches, and we can turn them into.

354
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: Natural gas biogas. Dairy biogas is what it's called.

355
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 2: However, as you might have guessed by now, they're thinking

356
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: about phasing out the program because they don't want the biogas.

357
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: They believe that's also not good for the climate environment.

358
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: In California, about half of the state's methane emissions come

359
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: from dairy and livestock, so collecting the gases wafting off

360
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: of maneure. We keeps them out of the atmospheric. Doesn't

361
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: that many hands around?

362
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: It provides this natural gas or biogas fuel. Why did

363
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: they think you would get a different emission. It's it's

364
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: the same product, you just rearrange the molecules.

365
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: This is what I said in introducing this story, the

366
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: ever evolving years ago, they were just it was a

367
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: war on coal, right, well, or they.

368
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: Thought they thought natural gas was a good alternative.

369
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: Ember you'd see trucks and one stations it is, well,

370
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 2: you have an an MNGV, a natural gas vehicle. They've

371
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: now in recent ears, no natural gas is nobody either.

372
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: They become there because they've become religious zealots with zero

373
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: tolerance us. They all got to go, you can't have

374
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: a single carbon.

375
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: Everything has to be electric and everything has to come

376
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: from wind and solar.

377
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: Well, you know, except I read the other day that

378
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: eventually this crowd's going to go after electric cars because

379
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: the electric cars leave a big carbon footprint just in

380
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: the manufacturing of the car. And that's where you said it.

381
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Eventually it's just to get us out of all cars. No, no, no,

382
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: there are groups that are headed towards that. They're behind

383
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: the fifteen minute city idea where everything is within fifteen

384
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: minutes to walk or bike two and that's what they

385
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: want to that's their ultimate promised land that they want

386
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: to reach. It's never going to happen. But no electric

387
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: cars are just a temporary stopgap, the way natural gas

388
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: was a temporary stopgap.

389
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: So unlike other greenhouse gases, it says in this story

390
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: at cal Matters, methane breaks down in about a decade.

391
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: So that's why they're focused on this, and they want

392
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: to phase out the climate credits. But you know, we're

393
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: still going to have the cows and they're still going

394
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: to fart in belch.

395
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: What do you want them to do? Well, you know

396
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: what they want. They want to ban meat and milk.

397
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, the real fanatics insist that we should all

398
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: be vegans, the true believers, the ones who will die

399
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: for the cause. We shouldn't say, does that mean there'll

400
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: be a black market for me? You go to some

401
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: guy in a dark alley, you get a cut of steak.

402
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: I know a guy for that too, So the dark web,

403
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: you go to find a burger. People are gonna be

404
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: raising cows indoors some bacon I see. I like I

405
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: like to read like about all the fringe elements, and

406
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: and and there these fringe elements, you know, some of

407
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: them eventually had their day in the sun. And there

408
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: there are plenty of groups who they actually believe that.

409
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: I just read a quote yesterday by one of these characters.

410
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: It would be better off if humans didn't exist.

411
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, you told me that edmonds are responsible

412
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: for every environmental that's right, that's right.

413
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: And he said it as an aside and a piece

414
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: that this nut wrote. But there's a real belief in this.

415
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: And they try to convince people not to have children.

416
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: And they dinosaurs once ruled the earth and that's gone.

417
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: So maybe you know, we'll pass on.

418
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna blow ourselves up. It might happen

419
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: in a month now.

420
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: The companion story to this, which is another lesson in California,

421
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: is ever evolving. Look at what affects the environmental to climate.

422
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: Years ago when they started because of the drought, they

423
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: started the war on people with grass lawns.

424
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: Yes, this is years ago.

425
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: They were recommending you get a synthetic lawn if you

426
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: don't like to put rocks and succulents in your get

427
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: synthetic lawns. Well that's over to see. Yeah, the Governor

428
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: Knewsom just signed a bill banning so called forever chemicals

429
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: and plastic products. And he said he like he said,

430
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: he passed on a chance to limit the use of it.

431
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: He vetoed a bill that would have banned them from

432
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: from synthetic lawns, but they also did sign a bill

433
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: that would ban synthetic laws in certain businesses or synthetic turf.

434
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: They're worried about the health risks created by the mmicals

435
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: present in the synthetic turfs, including per floral alcohol and

436
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: per polyfloral alcal substances also known as good old p fast.

437
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: What did they think this stuff was made from? It

438
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: was kind of funny because these these this crowd is

439
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: always pushing organic this, you know, and vegan that, and

440
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: then it's like, you mean the synthetic, the synthetic fake grass,

441
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: there's chemicals in it. It's like, yeah, by definition, so

442
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: what a factor.

443
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: He vetoed the big bill that would have banned the

444
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: chemicals from the lawns, but he did sign a bill

445
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: that allows cities and counties to ban artificial turf, and

446
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: some are already moving that way, including Milbray in San

447
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: Mateo County and San Marino in La County.

448
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna take that step and ban you. Is there

449
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: no end to these busy bodies, these bunch of nags.

450
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: They're such an irrit hating crowd. When are people going

451
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: to get fed up with the nags and the busy

452
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: bodies telling them what to do? And you can't have grass,

453
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: You can't water the grass. You have to get a

454
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: synthetic lawn. No, you can't have a synthetic lawng uh

455
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: is dirt? Okay.

456
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: So when I looked at the story, I said, well,

457
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: what's the concern if I rubbed my nose in the

458
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 2: synthetic turf for like every day for ten years?

459
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm now, Well, they're worried about toxic runoff from it?

460
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: I guess the chemistoxic runoff? Really, we have seventy thousand

461
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: people defecating in the street and all that toxic runoff

462
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: goes into the ocean. Look what they did to the

463
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: Bolona wetlands. Yeah, you're in there so full of it.

464
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: It's about controlling our lives. Their power freaks.

465
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,160

Speaker 2: about striking hotel workers. Are the Ritz Carlton, which is

473
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 2: a very nice chain of hotels considered higher end. Well,

474
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: they have a lawsuit and it's one of these good

475
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: old stories where a man could maybe not control himself.

476
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 2: There is a woman that says that she stayed at

477
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: a Ritz Carlton at half Moon Bay. This is going

478
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: back to November of twenty twenty two, claiming they paid

479
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars a night for a birthday weekend and

480
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: when they came back to the room from an outing

481
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: one night, they noticed that they didn't have any water.

482
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: So they called the front desk and said, could you

483
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 2: please have some water delivered to the room, And sure enough,

484
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: an employee came to their door with five Ritz Carlton

485
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: labeled water bottles. She drank it and then she thought

486
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: that doesn't taste right. Anybody have an idea what happened

487
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: that she.

488
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Was defiled bodily emissions?

489
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 2: The man made a deposit. Yes, that's what the claim is.

490
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: I know it seems to happen every year, somebody.

491
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: You know what the lawsuit says. Here's the paragraph in

492
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: the lawsuit. One of the hotel's employees ejaculated his semen

493
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: into a rich Carlton labeled water bottle delivered to Jane

494
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: in John Doe's room, and Jane Dough then drank the

495
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: semen contaminated water before she realized it had been defiled

496
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: by a criminal deviant. They claimed that the hotel sent

497
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: the water bottle to a laboratory for analysis, and then

498
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: around January twelfth of this year, a claims adjuster called

499
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: to say the test had revealed that the fluid in

500
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: the water bottle had been defiled with semen. So they're

501
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: saying that the hotel Apparently, she's saying all they offered

502
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: her was like some free nights, a few measly marriout

503
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: reward points. You get points, points that would seem to

504
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: be you get points. That's what they offered her. I've

505
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: stayed at Marriott's. I never noticed that in the offer.

506
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: So she's kidding.

507
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 2: And the laws claims that they will not turn over

508
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: the water bottle and they can't take this way find

509
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: out who the employee is, right, I'll be doing this

510
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 2: again to other people.

511
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and there was a fifty to fifty shot.

512
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: The husband could have drank it too, Yeah, he could

513
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: have write.

514
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: I don't know whether he deposited in all five bottles

515
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: or just the unlucky ones she grabbed.

516
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: What Oh? The Sheriff's office did say the department conducted

517
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: a welfare check because a woman claimed she drank a

518
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: bottle with water that tasted like chlorine? Would that be

519
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no experience. Why and what's

520
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: the I mean, if this guy did this, what's the

521
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: what's the jolly? He gets out of this and he's

522
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: not there to see her drink? I don't really, I

523
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: don't know. You've had coworkers do this in offices right where?

524
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: Yes, that's and sometimes it was a janitor, remember, well, Yeah,

525
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: but I took the water bottle.

526
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: Off the desk. He picks out and filed it. He

527
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: picks out a favorite in the office, and this, I

528
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: guess makes him crazy. He files the water and then

529
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: knows that she she drank out of the bottle. And

530
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: is that a prank you tell your coworkers and you

531
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: just do that so low And I think you do

532
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: that for your own personal pleasure. I see. And in

533
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: this case, like I said, you'd have to vicariously. Yeah.

534
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: I think there are guys. Yeah, they got that. That's

535
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,720

536
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: when they get home they need a more active life, Yeah,

537
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,200
