Barbara Ferrere sitting 25 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: there alone in a room wearing a mask on zoom. 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: What did she fear? A large gathering I guess for 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: the first time in a while of media members who 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: wanted to know, waiting with bated breath, what would be 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: the announcement about an indoor mask mandate returning? Is she 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: gonna make swear masks again? Is she? Is? She? I hope? 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: So we were sent reeling. What are some of the 32 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: great times words that they'd like to use? Reeling, rocked, royaled, royal, Yes, royal, 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: royaled and reeled and rocked. Well, h the announcement was 34 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: made and well, we still have the audio. Here we go. 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: As I noted last week, any indication that the county 36 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: would soon be moving to the medium community level would 37 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: be a good reason to not move forward with universal 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: indoor masking, which is what we are doing today. We 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: will not we will be pausing and not moving forward 40 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: at this time pausing. Although we will not be issuing 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: we will not be issuing a new Health Officer order 42 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: today to require universal indoor masking. The continued high rate 43 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: of transmission does call on all of us to wear 44 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: mask indoors in public spaces. Yes, in order to help. 45 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for my calling. And I think she calls 46 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: it moving forward. That's moving backward, to go back to 47 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: the dope indoor mask. Man, We're not moving forward. She 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: got her moment. She went on for forty five minutes. 49 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: Oh she did, yes, oh, taking questions right, Yes, forty 50 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: five minutes, and it took her about six seven minutes 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: just to get to the announcement. And when she got 52 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: to the announcement she couldn't even say it. Clearly, she 53 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: had to come up with all this this wordy verse beg. 54 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: It's like all you have to say is no mask 55 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: bandatebe The media questions were tongue baths, right, Well, they 56 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: always appreciate yes, yes, speaking to them. See, I never 57 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: I haven't understood this. You know, you and I grew 58 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: up in New York, right or in New York area, 59 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: and and you'd watch news conferences or reporters chasing idiot politicians, 60 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: and they were always aggressive and they were shouting at questions, 61 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: outbowing each other. Right, it was like a rugby match, 62 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: and they were very boisterous and loud. And here you 63 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: come to La now in twenty twenty two. It's like, oh, Barbara, 64 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: thank you so much. We really appreciate. We know how 65 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: stressful it's been and how the long hours that you 66 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: put in and for you to give us some time 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: to answer if you crab questions really means a lot. 68 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: And I am not exaggerating. That's what they do. I've 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: heard it with my own heirs. Always saw that the 70 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: first year. In the second year. Oh yeah, I've been 71 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: paying any attention for a while. But that's what they 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: always do. They you know, they are approaching the throne. 73 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: Thank you. You're our spiritual leader here. You bless us 74 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: with your presence. You ensure our continued health. To understand 75 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: the tortured number metric nonsense. If you have at least 76 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: ten new weekly coronavirus positive hospitalizations for every one hundred 77 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: thousand residents, you're considered in the high community spread category. Apparently, 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: what happened just today with the latest numbers, we were 79 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: at nine point seven. So you said three quarters of 80 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: a person. What did they release one guy? We're part 81 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: of them. They released his bottom third. But what needs 82 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: further pointing out is those hospitalization numbers are fake anyway, 83 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: because they're counting people that tested positive, but they're not 84 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: in the hospital for coronavirus complications. That's what we're talking about. 85 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: That's what the head of the USC Medical Center said 86 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: that ninety percent of the people who are in the 87 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: USC hospital were admitted for something else and they coincidentally 88 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: had COVID. Ninety percent of the quote COVID patients were 89 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: not admitted for COVID. If they didn't have other problems, 90 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: they'd be home enjoying their have ten million people in 91 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: La County. Do you know how many people were actually 92 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: in the hospital in intensive care for coronavirus? And it's 93 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: interesting they call this coronavirus positive intensive care unit patients 94 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty seven the whole county. Oh but 95 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: that's a four percent increase from the prior week. You 96 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: see how they do this well using the percentages to 97 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: be alarmed, it's it's because it's a joke. It's fake. 98 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: It's a it's a fake joke because originally it was 99 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: to keep the hospitals from being overloaded, because you saw 100 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: the scenes in New York City where people were being 101 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: cared for in parking lots right and alleyways on the street. Right, 102 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: they had that gurneys on the street with IV containers 103 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: and tubes and things. But all kay, so we don't 104 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: have that. We have a smattering of people and and 105 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: so there's no reason for this. There's no reason to 106 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: announce the statistics. The statistics have no importance in our lives. 107 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: There's no reason for a press release, no reason for 108 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: a press conference of video slides, any commentary, any opinions. 109 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: It's not news. It's just another random medical number, along 110 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: with one hundred other reasons you end up in the hospital. 111 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: It's of no real importance. Also, what's of no importance 112 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: is that the coronavirus positive patients in La County one 113 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: thousand and three twenty nine. But remember actually yesterday's one 114 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: two thirty nine. That also is a false number because 115 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: they are including people who are hospitalized for any number 116 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 1: of reasons. But they test everybody, and that's the group. 117 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: It's been proven concrusive, conclusively that she's using fake numbers. 118 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: And there's many prominent doctors by name now who went public, 119 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: right they. I think that was a big factor here, 120 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: well because of her finding a way out. Well, what's 121 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: the name of the doctor at USC Spellman or Spellberg 122 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, so he went public. Another doctor at 123 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: USC Medical Center when public, doctor Klausner came on our show, 124 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: went public. He published a piece in the local papers. 125 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: With three other medical officials, they went public. Doctor Monica Gandhi, 126 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: who's been a guest on our show several times from 127 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: UC San Francisco, she went public and and and said 128 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: this was this was unnecessary. So all the doctors, you know, 129 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: the science are saying this is unnecessary, ridiculous because the 130 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: current virus does not produce serious symptoms in the vast, 131 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: vast majority of people. And we have paxlovid, so just 132 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: take that and you'll get better. So stop it. It's 133 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: how many times you have to say it's over, no emergency. 134 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: The County Health Services director do you remember this name? 135 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: Is a doctor? Do you remember who that is? John? Oh? 136 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Christina Galli? Yes? Husband? Is that Martian that I guess 137 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: is the States Health Director yeah, Mark Gally. She said, though, well, 138 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: the increasing wave of COVID is causing problems in other 139 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: ways because a number of hospital staffers are being infected 140 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: and they can't work. Now, that doesn't mean they're really sick. 141 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: It's being they're told to isolate. You know something, I 142 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: don't care about all these internal problems. All right, Well, 143 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: they're going to claim then if they have a shortage 144 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: staff at the hospitals, that makes it harder to deal 145 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: with anybody. How about the problem. We're not interested in 146 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: all your claims. You've blown your credibility. You're pushing this 147 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: one with fake numbers. You work out your internal problems. Okay, 148 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: you go go go find some temp workers, hire some 149 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: guys to give up their uber gigs. All right, just 150 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: stop it. Oh, I just saw something funny. You know 151 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: the story we did yesterday, the El Segundo time special 152 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: about how Californians are flooding Mexico City, and it's getting 153 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of attention now, especially on conservative media websites. 154 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: That because it's like opposite Ville. Yeah, well, because late 155 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: for years was that Southern Californians who have been here 156 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: felt pushed out by illegal immigrants. Now we have wealthy 157 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: or Americans going to Mexico City to hang out for 158 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: a while, and because it's cheaper there and it's nice, 159 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: and now the locals are complaining. They don't make locals 160 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: aren't complaining, right, right, But yeah, because it showed the hypocrisy. 161 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: You don't you don't see the La Times calling these 162 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: uh local Mexicans a bunch of racists, right, it was 163 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: it was just it was just white people who are 164 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: racist because they didn't want people coming who don't speak 165 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: the language and so forth. Right, It's that that's what's 166 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: that's what's great about that story. It's just human nature 167 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: not to want outsiders coming in. That's all. It's just 168 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: hard wired into our system. Got more coming up next 169 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: up is the word, the word, the keyword that might 170 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: win You're one thousand dollars, John and Ken show Caffine. 171 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: I was just looking at that story we were mocking before. 172 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: That got a lot of media attention today that you 173 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: can come and get to free recycled water pool water. Yeah, 174 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: that is it is that what it is, it's just 175 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: looking for that. What it's the recycling from. They're not 176 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: explaining it's available at the La Glendale Water reclamation plant 177 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and get up to three 178 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: hundred gallons. One lister was trying to point out that 179 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: three hundred gallons would be a hefty lot. You can't 180 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: just it's nothing. It would be a hard a lot 181 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: to take at one time. You can't carry that, No, 182 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: you'd have to have quite a bar. Can you imagine 183 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: the kind of people actually show up to do that? Well, 184 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: they showed some people there with their little container. Yeah, well, 185 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: I want to fight his story and see what they see. 186 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: What they look like. This is the way watering restrictions. 187 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: You can come and get extra water for your plants 188 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: and trees and you're free smelly water. They Getty was 189 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: there and everything, of course he was. Did you see 190 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: they want I guess it is waste water they wanted 191 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: to of course it's waste water that they give them. 192 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: They put the word recycled. They purify it to some extent. Well, 193 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: I think so if you're not going to drink or 194 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: bathe in it, though, it's probably not incredibly what they are. 195 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: All right, did did you see they want to bring 196 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: back the toilet toilet to tap idea? Yeah that's back right? Yeah, Well, 197 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to rethink all these things. Right, cut 198 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: off the almond farmers. That'll triple are available water for residents. 199 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: That's I know farmers have hit been hit with cutbacks, 200 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: but I don't know. Cut the hall almond industry out. 201 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: Let's live without almonds. Let China live without almond almonds. 202 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: I want you to go up there with your little 203 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: buckets and collect this water. Yeah, you do that, Deborah 204 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: Mark and fea avocados. That's right. Well, I don't know 205 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: if I would want. You don't grow avocados, Yeah right, 206 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: you don't grow anything, Yes I do. I actually just 207 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: had a strawberry from my little garden today. All right, 208 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: And you're staying within the watering restrictions. The rules about 209 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: your address is auto. Even the two of you are 210 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: so obedient to the government. I'm really impressed. Corrupt politicians 211 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: in the news. Look who's come back around the La 212 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: City Council and Margaret Lee Thomas, who before that was 213 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: on the Board of Supervisors. He's not a jail yet. No, 214 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: his trial hasn't even come up. And I think he's 215 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: out right, he's free. That's too bad. He's suing. He 216 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: is suing the City of la because they cut off 217 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: his pay. City Controller Ron Galprand announced not long after 218 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: Margaret Lee Thomas was charged by the Feds in this 219 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: bribery story when he was on the board of supervisors. 220 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: This is dealing with USC School of Social Work that 221 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: in return for some benefits to his son, he steered 222 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: some contracts towards the basic ordinary, run of the mill corruption. 223 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: It is he wanted his son to get professor a professorship, right, 224 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: and yeah, a master's degree and nonsense, some job with 225 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: some affiliated nonprofitence. And then Ridley Thomas steers money to 226 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: the head of the social services department at USC basic felony, bribery, 227 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: those kinds of charges and he yeah, of course he 228 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: should have his pay cut off. So they the city 229 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: council wanted to suspend him from council duties. And after 230 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: that the controller said, I'm not going to pay him. 231 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: So the development today is at Ridley Thomas is finally 232 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: a lawsuit to have a judge strike down the cut 233 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: off and pay well. He fights the federal corruption campaigns 234 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: lawyer bills they are in two hundred and twenty five 235 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,479 Speaker 1: grand a year. Believe that, Yeah, and that's not enough. No, 236 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: they're calling this a flagrant abusive authority to cut off 237 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: his pay two twenty five grand. But you know those 238 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: those usc tuitions, those are very expensive. No way he 239 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: could afford to send his what was he like a 240 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: thirty year old son? Yeah, I think he was Sebastian, 241 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: his duds son who had left the legislature over some 242 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: cloudy condition. Yeah, there was some kind of sexual harassment scandal. 243 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: I think right now. They've done this before. They terminated 244 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: the pay of Weezar when he was on the council. 245 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: But he got charged with the racketeering, bribery and fraud. Well, yeah, 246 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: that's what that's what you do. He still hasn't been 247 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: a he hasn't been tried yet on that, but he 248 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: didn't fight that all. Ridley Thomas is a belligerent old fool. Uh. 249 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: And the weird story that followed this is that they 250 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: appointed Herb Wesson to replace Ridley Thomas on the council, 251 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: but a judge threw that out too, saying that he 252 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: could not serve. And before he because he got he 253 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: was term limited out right, So you don't get a 254 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: bonus term once you've served your maximum time. You don't 255 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: get to come in through the back door. But before 256 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: he was removed, Wesson fired the top aids to Ridley Thomas. 257 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: And it looks like some chief of staff now is 258 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: serving as the caretaker of the districts of anybody for 259 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: that and the people in that district, it's it's their fault. 260 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: So if Mitch Englander go down, Jose we Zar go down, 261 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas go down, that is the La City Council, 262 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: and that's that's that's your city government at work for you. 263 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: That's twenty twenty council and are on their way to jail. Yeah. Uh. Thomas, 264 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: in his lawsuit, says he is barred under city law 265 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: from seeking outside income while he fights the charges. He 266 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: thinks that Galprian's accents violated the resign, then resign and 267 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: go get a job. They got, they got, they got 268 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: help wanted signs in all the seven elevens. Well, that's 269 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: why I'm confused, because it says under city law he's 270 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: barred from seeking outside income. Well, can't get another job 271 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: if he quits, he can. So he didn't quit, he 272 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: got I send didn't he didn't see quit, So go 273 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: go take go take another job. Quit. Now you're not 274 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: coming back. No, he's not coming back. Now, you're not. 275 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: I thought the try was supposed to start next month, 276 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: but I don't have any update on that. I thought 277 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: it I originally remembered reading it was August. Just you know, 278 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: just plead guilty. You'll get a lighter sentence, you know, 279 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: and then you could get back to work. He could 280 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: get a job flipping burger somewhere. All right, we got 281 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: more coming out, John and Ken. Watch a video. A 282 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: new Jersey council woman has been caught on video slamming 283 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: into an uber eat cyclist and driving away. I guess 284 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: the guy's actually okay, but he just he flips up 285 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: in the air. She just drives right through the intersection, 286 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: plows right over him, and drives right away, keeps on going. 287 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she sped away without even stopping. Jersey women 288 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: are tough, but they pulled out the video from all 289 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: the cameras that are all located in the streets of 290 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: many cities. Now, Jersey City councilwoman Amy de Geiss, this 291 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: happened on July nineteenth. That's eight in the morning.

Um says he's in a lot of pain. 296 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: Instead of stopping to help, she drove away from the intersection. 297 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: You go, he was able to stand up because he 298 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: just the way that he was hit, the bicycle just 299 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 1: kind of flipped over the hood. He would flop it. Guy. 300 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: She was going pretty fast though, so h she's got 301 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: some explaining to do. And though it does appear she 302 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: had the right away, she was given a summons for 303 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: leaving the scene. You can't do that. So oh so 304 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't. Oh yeah, look at that. I mean he 305 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: so you know how bicyclists don't stop for anything. He 306 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: was biking right down the center of the intersection, right, Well, 307 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: it's his fault. Then, Well, I was that a that A. 308 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: I guess he didn't have a green light, huh uh yeah, 309 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: I guess there is a traffic light there. Yeah, because 310 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: all the cars are stopped. They all stopped behind him, 311 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: so he was going on his own right and uh wow, man, 312 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: he did Yeah, that almost happened to me the other day. 313 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: When I was running.

No, you're even against that. 331 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: Now you've become an incredible libertarian. Well here's the thing 332 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: your own. Here's the thing about hitting run. I don't 333 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: know if the guy I hit or the guy who 334 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: hit me is gonna kill me if I get out 335 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: of the car, because I had a situation like that 336 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: once and I just kept going. It was a minor 337 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: bump because I didn't like the look of the guy 338 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: or the other people in the car. All right, but 339 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: that's different than plowing over a guy in a bike 340 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: and sending him over your hood who could be injured badly. 341 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: So you have to make sure they don't go through 342 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: the red light. Well, you make an instant judge and 343 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: jury decision. Well, I mean, whose fault you went through 344 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: the red light? Either right away? I didn't stopped it. 345 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: She had a green light, he had a red light. 346 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: What does he thinks? Why do you? Why do you 347 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: not go through red lights because of that? Well, pedestrians 348 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: are protected that even if they don't have the right away, 349 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: if you hit him, like you're gonna be liable. You 350 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: gotta watch that. Well, it was a couple of great nuggets. 351 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: In a story from CNBC about the port workers, the 352 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: headline is a West Coast port worker union is fighting robots. Um. 353 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: This is dealing with, of course, automation at the ports, 354 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: which has been a point of contention with the port 355 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: backups because clearly, if you have machines unloading the ships. 356 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: It might go faster and more efficiently than waiting for 357 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: the guy who that's my break, I'll come back later. 358 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 1: It's my break. Is the time for my break? Are 359 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: you on break? I'm on break. In nineteen ninety three, 360 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: a Dutch port complex in Rotterdam became the first to 361 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: introduce machine automation and has since become the model for 362 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: a fully automated terminal, most of which emerged in the 363 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: twenty tens. But they're march larging in Asian Europe, not 364 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: so much in the US. So what I'm talking about 365 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: is the unions. They have things like the gamesters, and 366 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: in this case it's the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, 367 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: the ILWU. They are presently negotiating with the port called 368 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents seventy shipping companies important 369 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: terminal operators, and they've been headlocked in contract negotiations. Apparently 370 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: the contract expired some time ago twenty two thousand. Longshoreman 371 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: in twenty two ports and terminals up and down the 372 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: West Coast, and what we find out by the way, 373 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: their contract enacted in twenty fifteen didn't expire on July one. 374 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: Both sides have talked about a work slow down or stoppage, 375 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: but they're claiming that's not going to happen. However, and 376 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: for years now, the Maritime Association would like more automation 377 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: at the ports. Obviously, the ILWU is against that, and 378 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: their workers have much one hundred and ninety five thousand 379 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: dollars a year plus benefits. Right, can you imagine these 380 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: are the best paid union workers in the country. All right, 381 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: so nearly tight hundred grands and irrational efficient world. Obviously 382 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: you'd automate because part of the reason we have the 383 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: supply chain problems and the huge backups is because it's 384 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: much slower to have people loading and unloading, yes, and moving. 385 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 1: So if you want things to move quickly and uh 386 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: make make it less much less expensive, use automation. And 387 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: they're saying in the story there could still be jobs, 388 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: there are jobs that are associated with automation that some 389 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: of these people could slide in. Some of them. Yeah, 390 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 1: I mean there aren't. There aren't as many jobs as 391 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: now as port workers, but yeah, some of them you 392 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: could you could retrain to work the robots, right, and 393 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, I guess theoretically there's robot factories that would 394 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: be hiring. Yeah, they distinguished fully automated refers to various 395 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: equipment that handles containers, cranes, and yard tractors. They don't 396 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: require human operators on board. Instead, they're remotely operated by 397 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: humans and control towers who monitor screens and cameras. So 398 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. Well, you know this, this 399 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: is this is going to be the big fight is uh, 400 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, everybody likes to get hyped up about the 401 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: new technology. Can't stop progress. Well, if you're going up 402 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: against teamsters or longshoreman, progress can be stopped because the 403 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: degree in two thousand and eight to some automation. But 404 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: listen to this. In exchange, they got a nine hundred 405 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: million dollars addition to their pension fund and other retire 406 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: and this was the biggest nugget in the story. The 407 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: West Coast longshoreman also have a significant financial safety net. 408 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: The current labor contract includes a pay guarantee that ensures 409 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: up to forty hours of weekly income if an eligible 410 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: member is unable to obtain full time work for any reason, 411 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: including automation. This weekly income is guaranteed until retirement. Boy, 412 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: that is one of the biggest gets I have ever 413 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: seen in a poison bill. It is so so if 414 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: they are laid off to an automation, they're still going 415 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: to get paid for to forty hours of weekly income 416 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: until they retire. Because the unions don't mind striking, they 417 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: don't mind shutting down the West Coast ports. They're fine 418 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: with that because they're making one hundred and ninety five 419 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year and you know, they can ride 420 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: out a strike and the union probably has a huge 421 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: strike fund, so they have all the power in the world. 422 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you're not going to play ball with us, Fine, 423 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: we won't show up. And this is like about a 424 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: third of the economy, third of the export economy comes 425 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: through LA and Long Beach. Yeah. Well I looked at 426 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: this and I said, well, what's their fear of automation. 427 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: They're going to be guaranteed forty hours of weekly income 428 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: even if they're laid off if they can't find the 429 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: replacement work. But here's the thing. What the union doesn't 430 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: want is that they're not going to get future members 431 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: because automation that's replace future new work. Right then the 432 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: union dies. Eventually, it does die because all the workers 433 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: will eventually retire and there won't be as many new workers, 434 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: and the automation replaces those guys I imagine retire young 435 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: because it's you know, your body's fits up. Yeah right, yeah, 436 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: So it wouldn't be long before the union withers away, 437 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: right right, Well, there's an a list at Berkeley that 438 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: claims that the fear of that automation will hurt union 439 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: workers is understandable, but it's not the case that leads 440 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: to a big loss of jobs. I've had discussions with 441 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: some people and work in this kind of business, and 442 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: the thing is, it's like, you want an efficiently run world, 443 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: or do you want to cling to the way we 444 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: did things one hundred years ago? But then what do 445 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: you do with these people? And there's defor an answer 446 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: for that, right, what do you do with people whose 447 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: primary skills in life is physical labor? You could automate 448 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: almost anything now probably, So do you get rid of 449 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: all the guys? It's gonna be guys, sorry, no more, 450 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: no more physical labor jobs for you. You're just gonna 451 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Service jobs? You're gonna make 452 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: coffee at Starbucks? You know what? Then, what do you 453 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: have what you had. People are really unhappy. And somebody 454 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: said to me once, well we'll just we'll just send 455 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: them checks, give him a universal income. Yeah, you know, 456 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 1: to stay home usually the default answer. We're with you, right, 457 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: what really is? It's the only option, and it's like, 458 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if that's a happy place 459 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: to live in. All right, we got more coming up, 460 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Kenkfi. All right, final reminder that tomorrow the Moist 461 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: line is back. You can leave a message at using 462 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, the microphone icon or called the toltree 463 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: number one eight seven seven moist eighty six one eight 464 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: seven seven six sixty four seven eight eight six. Some 465 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: are like the expression raising eyebrows. Things must be going 466 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: okay in Ukraine because the President of Ukraine and his 467 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: wife sat down and posed for Vogue magazine looking very style. Shoot, 468 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: it was just like Gavin Newsom and his wife. Yeah, 469 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: he's wearing the like the green sort of military looking 470 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: the green shirt and the green pants. But they're holding 471 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: hands at a table. Well that's that's that's stylish in Ukraine. Oh. 472 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: A further image shows the wife in a full length 473 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: gown under a navy code as she stands before or 474 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: the bombed out remains of the world's heaviest aircraft. All 475 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: I remember, like the Russians bombed that thing. Oh so 476 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: she did fashion shooting front of the bombed out bombed 477 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: out Yeah, now that she have designers donate the clothes 478 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: for her to wear. In the photo shoot, she was 479 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: flanked by a pair of armed soldiers. They shared the 480 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: pictures on their Instagram account. Vogue did and this is 481 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: supposed to raise the morale of the Ukrainian troops. I guess. So. Wow. 482 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: By the way, Biden had a conversation with the Chinese president. 483 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: They said it went on for two hours. Do you 484 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: think Biden knew what was going on for two hours? Now? 485 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: Biden cannot stay focused for two hours. Now, there's no way. 486 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even believe that. Yeah, it's probably 487 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: somebody else. I was talking to the president. You think 488 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: Biden's gonna listen to a translator for two hours? Yeah, 489 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: that's how it works. So I thinks that why it 490 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: takes two hours, because they have to spend twenty minutes everything. 491 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: Everything has to be said twice twice, right, right, and 492 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: then you would really lose your concentration. Because while he's 493 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: speaking in his farm, his native language, what are you doing? 494 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: You're doodling? And then you know, oh, here comes the interpretation. 495 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: I gotta wake up and what'd you say? And then 496 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: you answer and you gotta wait for that to be 497 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: right translated back and right, and then their answer and 498 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: that's got to be translated. That's that's take English. Hey 499 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: yo jee o? His answer big Mandarin. Yeah, we got 500 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: more of you. Uh. The other thing they happened from 501 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: the dopey political world. Three separate groups of Republicans, Democrats 502 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: and Independence announced they're coming together under one umbrella. And 503 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: oh here it is a new political party. No, you're 504 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: gonna have the Republicans and Democrats and the Forwards Forwards. 505 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: They should have brought back the Whigs. That was a 506 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: great one. The Wing Party Forwards. That's a kind of 507 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: an odd name. What are you? I'm a forward I'm 508 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: a Forward party. I don't know you know who's in there. 509 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: Some but we're familiar with from the very long days 510 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: ago of the John and Ken Show. Christy Todd Whitman, 511 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: former Jersey governor. Yeah, and Republican who became Yang Andrew Yang, 512 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: who's kind of annoying.

I don't know what 519 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: he was talking about. Well, I mean they're claiming, and 520 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: you know rightfully so that the fracturing is so intense 521 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: now that there has to be some other answer, some 522 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: other choice for people. But mostes have failed.
