Speaker 1: the last year, and this year looks even worse. Gold

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,560

Speaker 1: watch it, record it, view it later if you need to.

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: But it's a really good work that they've done. Over

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's balanced, right they talked to homeless advocates

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: and oh that's a Fox eleven news documentary. Yeah, fair

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: and balanced faced. Yeah, so that's yeah, six o'clock till

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: seven thirty coming up. Oh, some great stuff about San Francisco.

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley took a great shot at the City of

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and of course he got taunted by Warriors

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: fans because he's picked the Mavericks to win the series,

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: which isn't likely. But anyway, he shot back last night

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: on the air. We have the audio to play. It's

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: pretty funny and something else is going on up there.

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: You got to hear about it may indicate a bit

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: of a turnaround with some of the politicians in that

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: city on big issues like the homeless and to fund

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: the police. It's all coming up later on this hour.

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk with Ed Rang. We've spoken to him before.

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Ed Ring analyzes everything about water in California. He's with

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: the California Policy Center, a contributing editor and a senior

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: fellow at the California Policy Center, and he's been writing

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: a series of articles for the California Globe about water abundance.

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Is kind of the way it's phrased because in his

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: viewpoint and many that he has talked, it's not about

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: water scarcity. Much can be done to increase the amount

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: of water that we can use and instead do sms

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: running around insisting on water rationing. Well, let's get ed

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: Ring on here. Ed how are you again? I'm fine?

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Lay out your case that there's

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: an abundance and not a scarcity of water in California, Well,

42
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: there's an abundance of water in California if we bother

43
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: to harvest it and process that. There's ways to get

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: millions of acre feet of water from wastewater recycling, millions

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: of acre feet from storm water capture, and we can

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: also get a lot of water from desalination, hundreds of

47
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: thousands of acre feet. And when you consider that California

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: cities all together only use seven to eight million acre

49
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: feet a year, this is something that can be solved.

50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: In fact, a lot of the Public Policy Research Institute,

51
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: which is one of the most reputable expert sources of

52
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: information on water, claims that on average, eleven million acre

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: feet of what they call surplus water or uncaptured water

54
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: during storms runs through the delta. Eleven million acre feet

55
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: in an excess of what's necessary for the ecosystems. So

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: if we were capturing some of that water and off

57
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: stream reservoirs, or diverting that water into spreading basins so

58
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: it could percolate and recharge aquifers, we could have plenty

59
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: of water as well for the farms which them. So yeah,

60
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: so we're managing our available water very, very badly here.

61
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: That's the real crime that's going on is our management

62
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: is not intelligent. That's right, because we've built some of

63
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: these tremendous of ass back in the nineteen thirties and forties,

64
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: and some more in the California Water Project of course,

65
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: in the fifties and sixties. And we still in California

66
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: have one of the most remarkable plumbing systems, the big

67
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: water interbasin transfers in the world. But it was built

68
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: for a population that's about half the size of what

69
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: we've got today in California. And we haven't been investing

70
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: in water supply infrastructure. All we've been doing is cracking

71
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: down more and more on farms and cities. And that

72
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: just can't go on. You can't ration your way to abundance.

73
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: We have to invest in more water projects. I understand

74
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: the existence of these environmental groups, and they get fanatical,

75
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: They are almost religious in their wishes to deny us

76
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: our modern life amenities, even water. But what's in it

77
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: for the government to create a system that doesn't work?

78
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: And I know they get the environmentalist yelling at them

79
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: but what's in it for the government to just do

80
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: what they needs to be done for the people and

81
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: ignore the crazies. Well, you know, that's a really good question.

82
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: I guess there's a few things that it takes away.

83
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: If you invest state money in water infrastructure, you're going

84
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: to be, you know, by their logic, cannibalizing other government programs,

85
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: So that that's part of it. Another part of it

86
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: is all of the regulatory of apparatus that you have

87
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: to set up to regulate water creates more government programs,

88
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: but it's sort of the wrong kind of government spending.

89
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: But I think those are some of the reasons that

90
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: we see this. There's also the politicians supposedly run the government,

91
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: and politicians are are elected by donors. And if you

92
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: have water scarcity, a lot of businesses. We learned, you know,

93
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: when we were trying to do this initiative to fund

94
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: water projects, that some of the largest agribusiness concerns want

95
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: water scarcity because with high prices for water, it's going

96
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: to drive the smaller farms out of business and they

97
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: can roll up the and consolidate the industry. We also

98
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: learned that a lot of hedge funds are betting on

99
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: expensive water because they're buying land for the for the

100
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: water rights, and this is very well documented, and so

101
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: these are big contributors to political campaigns. So there's pressure

102
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: from parts of the business community as well to keep

103
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: water expensive. And look at water utilities, they make money

104
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: if they make it, like electricity, the more they charge,

105
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: they get a fixed percentage of profits as a regulated utility,

106
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: So if they are able to charge more for the

107
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: same amount, they may more absolute profits for I've never

108
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: heard anybody talk about this about the business forces, the

109
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: financial forces that want a scarcity of water and how

110
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: much influence they have on our government. Well, I think

111
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: that that's a big factor at work here. We had

112
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: people that contacted us and said, why on earth would

113
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: we want why would we want water to be inexpensive?

114
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: But if you know, and some of the people that

115
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: criticized us, it's funny that Michael Hiltzak, writing for the

116
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Times, said that this was a giveaway to

117
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: agro business, and then he turned around about two weeks

118
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: later and wrote about how hedge funds are buying up

119
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: water property for water rights and there's going to be

120
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: a market to trade water futures, and he was wanting us.

121
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: But you can't have it both ways. If you're going

122
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: to have if you're going to privatize water, the best

123
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: way to do that is by making water costs too much.

124
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: So you would think that the liberals and the big

125
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: government types would welcome the idea of having the cal

126
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: State of California partially subsidized water supply projects because that

127
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: would bring the price of water down and it would

128
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: remove the incentives for people to privatize our water supply

129
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: every can you hang on sure? Okay, this is Edward

130
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Ring we're talking too. He's written a series of articles

131
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: for a California Globe dot com about California and water

132
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: abundances with the California Policy Center, a contributing editor senior fellow.

133
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: He co founded California Policy Center back in twenty thirteen.

134
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: It was its first president, and he's done a lot.

135
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: It's a long series of articles. Usually want to read

136
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: them if you are really buying into this water scarcity

137
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: drought thing being sold by Newsome and the rest of

138
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: his chron We will come back and talk to him

139
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: because he kind of mentioned it there. There's apparently a

140
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: ballot measure that they're trying to get out the Water

141
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Infrastructure Funding Act of twenty twenty two. We'll talk about

142
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: what's in its and more coming up, John and Ken Caffine.

143
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: We continue with Ed Ring, co founder of the California

144
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Policy Center, and he believes that there's a lot of water,

145
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: an abundance of water in California for us to use

146
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: if we only built the proper infrastructure to collect it.

147
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: And if you don't read his series of stories on this,

148
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: because they're fascinating, it's California Globe dot com where they're appearing.

149
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: When I left, I said that we wanted to talk

150
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: when we come back, because the last one he did

151
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: deals with the hostile media. He had mentioned the wonderful

152
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Michael Hiltzik, Pulitzer Prizewood and columnists for the Los Angeles Times,

153
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: who doesn't like or care too much for Edward Ring's

154
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: abundance of water theory, and Hiltzik apparently criticizes what's being

155
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: proposed to ballot measure, the Water Infrastructure Funding Act of

156
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Can you explain ed what's in there?

157
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: And should our listeners be interested? I sure can, but

158
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: I hope I didn't mislead you because we did not

159
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: gather enough signatures to get that on the twenty twenty

160
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: two ballots. So you may be hopefully talking about a

161
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: Water Infrastructure Funding Act for twenty twenty four. We're waiting

162
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: to see if the legislature does anything to relieve the situation.

163
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: But it's very hard to get an initiative onto the ballot.

164
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: It costs at a minimum five million dollars, and there's

165
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty six billionaires living in California. We

166
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: didn't call everyone of them, but it is you know,

167
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that ought to be you know,

168
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: and of course I'm sort of biased on this matter,

169
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: but it seems like there's people with the with they

170
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: to put an initiative on the ballot that could step

171
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: up and do something like this. Where are the billionaires

172
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: that are going to step up and help fix California

173
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to things like water and energy? But

174
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, that could be a little bit of sour grapes.

175
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: The initiative that we came up with, I think relied

176
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: on a lot of ideas from other people that have

177
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: tried different aspects of it in the past. But our

178
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: goal was to do something so decisive that if it passed,

179
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: and it would pass by the way after this blistering

180
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: summer we're about to experience, voters would have voted and

181
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: approved this measure if we'd gotten it on the ballot.

182
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: It's funny because right when we were about a critical

183
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: point to raise the money we would have needed to

184
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: qualify this for the ballot, it just poured. It just

185
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: rained and rained and rained, and then it didn't rain anymore.

186
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: So here we are. But it would have allocated two

187
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: percent of the state General fund every year to invest

188
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: in increasing California's water supply with water supply projects. And

189
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: it didn't define the projects. It defined the eligible categories,

190
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: so the Water Commission could still choose where to put

191
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: the money, but it would have to be in effect

192
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: until five million acre feet of new water would be

193
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: getting produced, either yields from offstream reservoirs or produced from

194
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: wastewater recyclarity salination plants or aquifer recharge from storm runoff.

195
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: Didn't matter. They could choose whatever categories they wanted to

196
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: fund projects as long as they get five million acre

197
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: feet of new water and that would solve the problem.

198
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: That would create surpluses in even mild drought years, so

199
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: there would be plenty of water. There would be water

200
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: as well for environmental purposes, which I don't think was

201
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: appreciated nearly enough, but you know, it's really pretty simple.

202
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: One of the things, however, was we also revised and

203
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: we felt and we did this very carefully, but we

204
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: did make reasonable revisions to the Coastal Act and to

205
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: the Environmental California Environment RNE or a Mental Quality Act,

206
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: and those two things, there was two unforgivable three unforgivable sins.

207
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: One we included reservoirs as an eligible project. Two we

208
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: included desalination as an eligible project. And three we tried

209
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: to revise some of these regulations that make it impossible

210
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: to build anything. It takes millions, tens of millions, hundreds

211
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars in decades to get projects approved.

212
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: You go through the permit process, and by the time

213
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: you've gone halfway through it, all the rules have changed,

214
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: and the rules conflict with each other, and there's dozens

215
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: of agencies that you have to go before, and there's

216
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: hundreds of environmental organizations willing to litigate. So you can't

217
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: build anything in California. Until we fix these regulations. So

218
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: this is explained by all those bond measures, do is

219
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: explained what all those bond measures for water projects have

220
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: just resulted in? Very little? Yes, that's exactly right. There's

221
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: nothing that's been done for the most important projects approved

222
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: by voters in twenty fourteen. The signature project was the

223
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: site's reservoir. It was supposed to have a storage capacity

224
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: of two million acre feet. It would have had a

225
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: yield of half a million acre feet a year. That's

226
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: been on the drawing board for eight years, and over

227
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: that eight year period, to appease all of the litigants

228
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: and to comply with all the rules, they've downsized it

229
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: now to a million five acre feet one and a

230
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: half million acre feet. They've also taken out all of

231
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: the pump stores for all of this renewable Can I

232
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: just ask you something, why? Why do all these litigants,

233
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: why are they doing everything they can to a limit

234
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: to the amount of water that we can access. What's

235
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: in it for them for the state to have less water? Well?

236
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of them sincerely believe that anything

237
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: you do to disrupt the environment is unacceptable. I think

238
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot of them also believe that a middle class

239
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: lifestyle is simply unsustainable. A lot of them believe that

240
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have irrigated farmland in the San Luquin Valley

241
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: because it's unquoting, because it's a desert, so they we

242
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: can't live. What they're saying is we can't grow food,

243
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: we can't have homes. Yeah, we're not supposed to drive

244
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: to work, but what are we allowed to do? I

245
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: don't really really understand this. We're all supposed to die,

246
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: and they're trying to kill us by cutting off our order.

247
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: There's a mentality that human beings are parasites on the planet.

248
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, no one comes right out and says that.

249
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: Actually some of them do. But that's the mentality that

250
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: just has to be boke and civilization has a footprint.

251
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: How did they get all the power because I don't

252
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: know anybody like this. Everybody I know wants to own

253
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: a house, They want to drive to work, and they

254
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: want somebody to grow food for them. Who are these

255
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: people that don't want us to live anymore? Well, I

256
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: think some of the donors to these environmental organizations, and

257
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: they'll never say this, but I think some of them

258
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: don't want to see California's population grow very much, if

259
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: at all, they want to kind of keep things the

260
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: way they are. I think a lot of the billionaire donors,

261
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: and there's plenty of them that support these environmentalist organizations, believe,

262
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: as I said, that a middle class lifestyle is not sustainable,

263
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: and they truly believe that these people make these people

264
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: make billions of dollars, and they want to stop the

265
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: rest of us from having a middle class lifestyle. Correct.

266
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: You know the thing is, it's it's wrong. I mean California.

267
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: If any place in the world, if any culture in

268
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: the world can figure out how to use how to

269
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: create a desalination plant that doesn't hurt the ocean, we can.

270
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: You know, the Israelis desalinate over half a million They're

271
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: on track to desalinate a million acrecy a year on

272
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: the coast of the Mediterranean where there's no current. You know,

273
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: this is any This is a really good example worth

274
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: talking about a little bit because they're California. Current moves

275
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty trillion gallons a day across the

276
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: southern California coast, and they talk about fifty five million

277
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: gallons a day of desalination Brian from the Huntington Beach plant.

278
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: That's one five millions of the float. You know, if

279
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: you know anything about toxicology, you know, and it's just

280
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: slightly all to your water that's being discharged by a

281
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: desalination plan into a current that's the only current in

282
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: the world that's bigger is the ghost stream. They are

283
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: doing this on an order of magnitude greater scale in Israel,

284
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: where there's no current. They're doing it into the Eastern Mediterranean.

285
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: All right, Ed, we have to go, but we really

286
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: appreciate talking to you. Thanks for your input. People can

287
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: follow his articles at California Globe dot com on water abundance.

288
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: Edward Ring with the California Policy Center, thanks for coming on. Okay,

289
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: we got more coming up. John and Kent Cafe. Bye,

290
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna go for a few minutes. It's one of

291
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: our favorite places in California. San Francisco, we're coming up

292
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: in June. There will be a recall vote on the

293
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: San Francisco District Attorney Chess about thirteen days until he's gone. Now,

294
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: according to polls, it's going to happen. Now. We're just

295
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna make it happen here with George Gascone go to

296
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: recall da George Gascon dot com. I think we're behind

297
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: the petition. When Bodin goes down, that's going to give

298
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: a big jolt to the Gascon effort people. I think

299
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: that if San Francisco did it, we could do it.

300
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: And we're doing They're doing well. The Gascone people are

301
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: doing really well, but I think this will put it

302
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: over the top. So the latest person to call out

303
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco is none other than the Hall of Famer

304
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: NBA commentator and former NBA player, Charles Barkley. He's a

305
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: member of the TNT studio inside the NBA cast. They're

306
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: covering the playoffs between the Golden State Warriors in the

307
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks. Last night in Dallas during Game four, there

308
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: was a delay. It was a rain delay, but it's

309
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: an indoor arena. Well apparently had a leaky roof so

310
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: they had to stop play for a while. That's their

311
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: new arena, isn't it. Yeah? I think so it's not

312
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: that new. No American airlines is it. Within I mean,

313
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: within the last twenty it was in Dallas. Oh, I'm sorry,

314
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: I was thinking. I was thinking and the San Francisco

315
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: Arena is new. Yes, the San Francisco Arena is new. Right,

316
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: the game is in Dallas Games, that's right. Game four.

317
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: I think it's San Francisco. I think of rain. I

318
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: understand that. And um well, Barkley of course, has been

319
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: having a little feud with Warrior fans because he's been

320
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: yelling go MAVs and they've been yelling fu. The biggest

321
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: thing he said was he turned around and said I'm

322
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm going to all your houses and bleep

323
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: your mamas. Anyway, he said that he did. Yeah, yeah,

324
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: uh so this is what he said last night during

325
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: the rain delay about San Francisco. You know what a

326
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: bad thing about all this rain, it's not rained in

327
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco. The clean up an old dirty streets they

328
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: got there San Francisco. You know it's a great city,

329
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: but all that dirtiness and homelessness. Yeah, man, y'all got

330
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: to clean that off the streets. I wish it because

331
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: it's raining like hail down here. I look beautiful. No no, no, no,

332
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: you go hotel three blocks hotel and it is raining

333
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: so hard down here. A good Washington. That's a good

334
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: part of San Francisco. Of he just doesn't care. He'll

335
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: be back there for Game five. It doesn't care. Now,

336
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't. Stuff just comes out now. Meanwhile, this development

337
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, which it may be a small glimmer

338
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: of hope against the woke. The mayor of San Francisco,

339
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: London Breed, said that she will not take part in

340
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: the annual San Francisco Pride parade because they decided this

341
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: year that if the police department and the fire department

342
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: is going to participate, they cannot wear their uniforms. We're

343
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: concerned about a level of intimidation that they could have

344
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: on other attendees in the parade. So they want to

345
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: keep the gay cops and the gay firefighters out of

346
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: the parade in uniform. They wanted to keep anybody from

347
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: the police and fire department that wanted to be in

348
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: the parade. There are a non gay San Francisco police

349
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: and fire that marshall just to show support, right, right,

350
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: but there's got to be something. They're not allowed to

351
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: be in uniform was the ruled issue, and that is

352
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: really discriminatory and exclusion. So the police department said no thanks.

353
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: Then and now the mayor saying I'm not going to

354
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: participate either. That's ridiculous, man Wolfe, because it could be

355
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: a trigger. I use that word, but that's how I interpret.

356
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, that's absolutely right. That's where this has gone.

357
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: But at least the mayor, who you consider the mayor

358
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: of the Woka city saying, oh, come on, that's ridiculous. Yeah,

359
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: she's had her moments in the last few months. I

360
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: don't know if they're fake or if they're real, but

361
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: occasionally she's blurted out some unpleasant truths about the city

362
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: and she's making these Wokesters unhappy. So so what do

363
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: you know intolerant wokesters, Wokesters who are not inclusive, Well,

364
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: they're anti police and defund the police. So they don't

365
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: want the police involved in their event, and that's how

366
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: they would make it known by wearing their uniform, right,

367
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 1: otherwise you don't know that they don't they don't want

368
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: their support, and they don't want the gay cops and

369
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: the gay firefighters to be showing that they're members of

370
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: the department. But they have gotten so extreme and radical.

371
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's so sick now, everybody's just so sick and hateful.

372
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: Everybody takes a stand that gets more and more absurd.

373
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of hearing about these people. I really

374
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: they've exhausted everybody, they really have. And that's why, that's

375
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: why the chessup o'dine is gonna be a big shock.

376
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully that'll be a big dog. It's gonna be a

377
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: big day. It's gotta be signaling the end of this era.

378
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: It really. I mean they were called those board members,

379
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: so the school board members, right right, Yeah, the first

380
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: shot they fired, and Bodine will be the second shot.

381
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: You know. It's just it's got to come to an

382
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: end here, all right. We got more coming up Johnny

383
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: can Cafe I all right, yeah, coming up at six o'clock,

384
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: right you, Oh, that's right, that's right. It for good

385
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: last reminder because we're going off, okay, six o'clock Fox

386
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: eleven and they have a documentary called Lost Angeles City

387
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: of Homeless and it's a ninety minute special on what's

388
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: going on in Los Angeles and I'm a big part

389
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: of it. We had Alex Michaelson on their lead anchor

390
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: last hour, so I would tell you right now to

391
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: turn it on and be ready. And if you can't

392
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: watch it, you gotta run out somewhere record it. It's

393
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna be worth viewing. Yes, I just set up the

394
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 1: recorder to watch it, because I don't think I can

395
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: watch it live commercials. I haven't recorded at home because

396
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be home. Until Alex gave you though

397
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: a nice tongue path. That was nice, but I rarely

398
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: yet it felt good. You've got a really good tongue back. Well,

399
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: tell us. I'm reading a great column New York Post

400
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: Maureen Callahan. Our greatest public health crisis, the angry young

401
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: American male. She actually says, sure, go with your gun control.

402
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 1: The idea that someone not old enough to vote can

403
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: legally purchase assault rifles is insane. But we have a

404
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: more complicated crisis to address. And of course she's got

405
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: their pictures, going back to the Virginia Tech shooter, all

406
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: of these angry young men. She talks about the in

407
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: cell culture. They become isolated. She says, only in America.

408
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: No other country suffers his sickness. But US America landed

409
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: milk and honey, born here, and you're born on third base.

410
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: Yet we're cultivating a cohort young men hell bent on

411
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: killing our children. It's a malignancy in our culture and

412
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: antinues to metastasize. And it didn't exist in our culture before.

413
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: Just take relatively recent years. I's gonna say common Bindies

414
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, So I got to go back years

415
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: probably these sixties, seventies, eighties, into the nineties. There was

416
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: no such thing. So what something happened in our culture?

417
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: And all these young men boys feel alienated and angry

418
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: to an extreme degree, because if it was just a

419
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: certain percentage of mental illness, it should be constant in

420
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: society all along. So why is it suddenly occurring now?

421
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: Every points are correctly that with the advent of social

422
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: media and the digital age, they're now connecting with online

423
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: threads to other people that feel the same way, and

424
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: they get revved up. Yeah, oh that's that's a huge

425
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: part of it. That's a huge part of it. And

426
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: that's what the Buffalo shooters said, dude, that's it. We

427
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: got to do something. Now. They feel like they're part

428
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: of a resistance army. They and and they're gonna square

429
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: all the I mean, their parents ignored them, all the

430
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: other kids did, the teachers, the girls, everybody ignored them.

431
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: Everybody insulted them, bully disrespected. They're weird to begin with.

432
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: They invite a lot of this. She writes that the

433
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: in cell community, misogyny is too tame a word for

434
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: what the group espouses, blaming as they do, women for

435
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: denying them sex and love. They advocate rape, the elimination

436
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: of women's rights, and mass shootings. That's a nice combination.

437
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Can you imagine the relationships these guys had with their mothers.

438
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean, something really went awry there. I think that's

439
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: what would help that bonding. Something something is wrong there,

440
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean there's not maybe fathers. So they respect women

441
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: and respect yeah that too. Not get so frustrated because

442
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: they can't get a date or but but but the

443
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: loan and nobody seems to love them, and they all

444
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: a lot of the hostility. The right is about women.

445
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: And you know, your mother is the woman in your

446
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: life for a long time, early on, and that's where

447
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: these things develop. Yeah. She writes that it's all too

448
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: easy for a boy or a young man the frontal

449
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: cortex not mature until at least age twenty five, to

450
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: plug into a self selecting group online and share gruesome

451
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: fantasies here or issue encouragements to rape, kill, or commit

452
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: mass shootings, ideations that some may consider meaningless and others imperative. Yeah. See,

453
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: that's the thing. There's a lot of guys in these forums.

454
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: They're not going to kill anybody. But as you can see,

455
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: it just takes a few of these young guys to

456
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: create havoc and horror around the country. I mean, one

457
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: mass shooting to kill nineteen children, that's horrific. That's why

458
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: she's trying to say, there's got to be a way

459
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: to reach them. She thinks they should turn this into

460
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: like a they should be tracking this, They should like

461
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 1: trying to eradicate COVID with the vaccine. She says, we

462
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: want to treat it that way. We want to be

463
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: coming up with a plan to treat this. No, I agree.

464
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: So we're talking about yesterday. You can't just sit here.

465
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: It's like the almost situation. Whatever we're doing is not working,

466
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: whatever your pet theory is, it's not working. And right's avoidable.

467
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: That shooter was waving every red flag an imminent school

468
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: shooter possibly could holding up in his locked bedroom three

469
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: months prior, a windows blacked out with garbage bags, enthusiastically

470
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: writing to a pro mass murder online community, a history

471
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: of openly fantasizing about killing children yet was never properly treated,

472
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: and that she's talking about Adam Blanza. She's talking about there. Yeah,

473
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: the guy can make a shooter, all right? So is

474
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: there anybody interested in starting that movement instead of just

475
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: screaming the stale old cliches at each other? Who's interested

476
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: in starting this movement? And you have to go directly

477
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: to the source. You have to go to the lonely

478
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: weird kid who's in his room right now. And you

479
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: know what they're all doing is they're all analyzed what

480
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: happened yesterday in Texas, and they're all praising him, critiquing him,

481
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: using new information to maybe help them in there shooting.

482
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you think it'd be some kind of law

483
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: enforcement agency all over all these chat rooms right now,

484
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: because the next killer, which could happen tomorrow or in

485
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: a week, is in those chat rooms. We know where

486
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: they are. Maybe there's a way not necessarily locking them

487
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: all up, which is what you've been advocating, but trying

488
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: to reach them with some sort of help. I don't know.

489
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: I think I think you'd have to lock them up

490
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: to help them, they're not going to volunteer. Maybe it's both. Yeah,

491
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: all right, Conway's here, Hey, now we'll have I still

492
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: can't believe that that that eighteen year old who shot

493
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: these and killed these kids yesterday was in that school

494
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: for forty to sixty minutes. Unbelievable. Yea, And and you know,

495
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: nineteen kids have been killed, but it could have been

496
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: a lot worse in forty to sixty minutes. That's unbelievable. Yeah,

497
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's a long time. Yeah, I'm gonna have

Speaker 1: been dozens more. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, California is moving
