Oh god, I'm staying so far away 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: from Ray. Yeah. We're gonna make Ray wear a hazmat 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: suit if he ever come to say that that's what 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: he needs to do. It's a very infected UH staff 37 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: these days. Uh, And there's hardly anybody in the building 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: against you, notice single. I don't know what the heck. 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: Why are we Why are we working on Fridays now? 40 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, the work week was Monday 41 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: through Friday. Yes, actually from my dad it was Monday 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: through Saturday. So I I don't know. But the by 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: far the biggest news that affects your life today is 44 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: the inflation report, confirming what you probably already knew, and 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: that is uh inflation is h We had the worst 46 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: month increase since nineteen eighty one. Nineteen eighty one, that's 47 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: how that's how bad it is. And I have a 48 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: chart that I'm about to call up here, Yes, here 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: it is. This is enjoy this. This is the annual 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: change in food prices by category um so since a 51 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: year ago today, eggs have gone up thirty two percent, 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: Chicken is up seventeen percent, whole milk seventeen percent, lunch 53 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: meats seventeen percent, bacon fifteen, coffee fifteen, oranges almost fifteen, 54 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: flour almost fourteen, fish thirteen, ground beef twelve and a half, 55 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: rice twelve and a half, breakfast cereal twelve, peanut butter twelve, 56 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: let us eleven bread eight. That's only one year, and 57 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: overall the price of food is up over ten percent. 58 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: So when you hear these inflation numbers, understand that it 59 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: doesn't you know, it includes a lot of things that 60 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: you may not be buying. The staples that you must 61 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: buy every day, like gas and food is up double 62 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: digits in a lot of cases. Now the gas is 63 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: obviously completely out of control. Let's see energy. Oh, here 64 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: we go. Fuel oil was up seventeen percent in a month. 65 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: In a year, it's up to one hundred. It's up 66 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 1: one hundred and six percent. One hundred and six percent. 67 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: The cost of shelter. See this is the thing when 68 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: they do this waiting in the consumer price index, shelter 69 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: costs is one third of the number. Now, you don't 70 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: get new shelter every month. Well, some people in La do, 71 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: but for the most part, we have a mortgage that's 72 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: locked in, usually at a fixed rate, or you're leasing 73 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: an apartment and you have normally at least a year 74 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: lease and that's at a fixed rate, so it it's 75 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: not like you're going for buying a new house every 76 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: month or renting a new apartment every month. And that's 77 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: a third of the of the consumer price Index. That's 78 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: why it distorts the number. The stuff you buy every 79 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: day are things like eggs and chicken and beef and 80 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: rice and all that, and every one of those things 81 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: is up double digits, and the gasoline is an absurd amount. Um. Now, 82 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden today, and of course we played his comments 83 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: on Jimmy Kimmel yesterday where he informed, he informed the 84 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: country that inflation is is gas and food and that 85 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: was That was pretty much the end of the statement. 86 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: Inflation is mostly in food and in gasoline at the pump, 87 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: and that was it. But we knew that, and we 88 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I got a chart in front 89 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: of me. I don't need the chart. It's kind of 90 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: um number oriented, so I'm kind of curious exactly what 91 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: the percentage rs are. But you know, you don't need 92 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: to be a math major to know that this is 93 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: draining you. And there's about there's about thirty five percent 94 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: of the country where this has all become a very 95 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: very serious issue. Well, he's looking for people to blame, 96 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, he's been trying to blame Putin for the 97 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: longest time, except that war started at the end of February, 98 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: and these price increases have been going on for about 99 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: a year and a half, roughly since the start of 100 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: his term. I believe that the inflation rate on the 101 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: last day Trump was in office was about two percent. 102 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: So all the inflation is since Biden took over as president, 103 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: and much of the inflation was already baked in before 104 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: Putin invaded. Now he made some things worse, notably the 105 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: gas and the oil today since he since he came 106 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: out here for that gas bag conference with the other 107 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: leaders of the Americas or whatever the hell, the summit 108 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: of America's well, But by the way, what they accomplished 109 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: I forgot a yeah, yeah, they had a good time 110 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: in Malibu yesterday, but I don't think they accomplished anything. Anyway, 111 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: he's in town and he goes to the Port of 112 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: La Now, he came out here last fall and claimed 113 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: that they were going to have that port running twenty 114 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: four to seven. That hasn't come close to happening. So 115 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: whatever we promised back then was a failure. Now he's 116 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: decided he's going to be angry. And I use the 117 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: term decided to become angry, because I dad he's actually angry. 118 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: He's angry with the cargo companies, claiming that the cargo 119 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: companies that transport all our goods from Asia to here 120 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: are charging an unconscionable about of money and something's got 121 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: to be done about it. Legislation has to be passed, 122 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: like like you're able to regulate the prices of multinational 123 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: cargo companies. But okay, and he threatened violence. You listen 124 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: to this here. This is about reducing costs for families. 125 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: You know, I have to admit to you a lot 126 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: of us in elected officialmen in office for a while. 127 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: Every once in a while, something you learn makes you 128 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: viscerally angry, Like if you had the person in front 129 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: of you, you'd want to pop them. Now, I really 130 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: mean it. There are nine nine major ocean lines shipping 131 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: companies that shipped from Asia to the United States. Nine 132 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: they formed three consortition. These companies have raised their prices 133 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: by as much as one thousand percent. So everything coming 134 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: from Asia they get ninety some percent of it. The 135 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: stuff coming from Asia, they've raised it by one thousand percent. 136 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: That's why I called on Congress to crack down on 137 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: their foreign owned, foreign owned shipping companies that raise their 138 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: prices while raking in just I said one hundred and 139 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: ninety billion dollars in profit, a sevenfold increase in one year, 140 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: sevenfold increase, one hundred and ninety billion. The Center passed letislation. 141 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful the House is going to act soon to 142 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: crack down on these companies as I've asked and lower 143 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: the cost. And I'm grateful on to two Californias, Speaker 144 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: Pelosi and John Jerrundy for leading this effort. Thanks John, 145 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: I really mean it. That would be Garamendi. God bless 146 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: you people have played that. Let's pit again, Speaker Pelosi, 147 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: John Jeremundy for leading this effort Germany. I really mean, 148 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take a break. We've got more 149 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: on this, because well Biden wants to pop there. I 150 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: guess the executives of these uh international cargo companies. There's 151 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: a few things he didn't bother to mention. John and 152 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: Ken Chuck. We were talking about the terrible inflation report. 153 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: And by the way, this is how I amuse myself. 154 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: I get in the car in the morning to go 155 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: on the bagel run, and often I turn on business 156 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: channels Fox Business, CNBC because that just seems the place. 157 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: It's hard to screw with business reports. News and politics 158 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: gets screwed with a lot, right, but a business report 159 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: that's numbers. And when the lead story I got up 160 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: this morning, and the inflation rate is up overall eight 161 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: eight and a half percent, eight point six to be exactly. 162 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: Then I know, well that's the number. At least that's 163 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: the number the government is calculated based on their wacky system. 164 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: And then when they start releasing the categories that really 165 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: matter to you. Remember it's distorted because they include quote 166 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: shelter in the overall number. But most of us are 167 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: not buying shelter every month, right, We're buying eggs and 168 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: meat and bread every month, but not shelter. That's one 169 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: third of the calculation. The stuff that matters. I mean, 170 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: it's literally, if you look at a graph, it's off 171 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: the chart. That's not just a cliche. And as I mentioned, 172 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: starts with eggs or up thirty two percent and chicken 173 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: seventeen percent, and this is an annual increase. Milk seventeen percent, 174 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: lunch meats seventeen, bacon fifteen, coffee fifteen, and on and 175 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: on and on. It's every category. It doesn't matter what 176 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: you are. You might be a fish only person. That's 177 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: gone up. Your carnival. It's gone up. You can be 178 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: a vegetarian, it's gone up. Whatever you are, it's gone up. 179 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: Double digits and there's no sign it's stopping. And this 180 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: is the part that makes me crazy is that they 181 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: and there are some writers that have kept a timeline 182 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: of how often officials, including Biden, have come out and said, well, 183 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's probably piqued about. Yeah, I think we've 184 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,479 Speaker 1: seen the worst of it. Yeah, this is just transitory. 185 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: And they have said that almost every month now for 186 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: a year. They lie, or they're wildly incompetent or both, 187 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: but nobody's been right. And after a while you get 188 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: the feeling you're being played. You're trying to pacify us 189 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: unwashed masses by saying no, no, don't worry, I just 190 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: pat you on the head here. Things are going to 191 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: get better lights just around the corner there. Joke. Yeah, 192 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: that's what that's their method, because nobody, nobody admits that 193 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: they screwed up. Chessip o'dine would not admit that his 194 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: policies led to a lot more crime. Garcetti will not 195 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: admit that his policies led to much more homelessness. Biden 196 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: will not admit that his policies led to a massive inflation. 197 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: Because they did. They printed too much money, an unprecedented 198 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: amount of money, for a very long time was printed 199 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: that creates inflation. They'll teach you that in a high 200 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: school economics class. Trump stupid hearings last night. He will 201 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: not admit that he lost. Even his daughter told him 202 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: he lost, and he says his daughter is out to lunch. 203 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: I mean, we have people who refuse. If you do 204 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: not embrace reality, then nothing can get better. The first 205 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: thing you have to do is say, Okay, my policy 206 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: didn't work. I sincerely thought it would. If that's true, 207 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: I sincerely thought it would. Gave it a run. We 208 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: gave it a run for six months, a year, two years, 209 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: whatever it was, and failure. Okay, We've got tens of 210 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: thousands of homeless tense, We've got inflation that's well into 211 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: double digits, and almost all the food categories. Trump has 212 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: still lost the election. They're still crazy crime in the 213 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: streets of San Francisco. These guys are wrong, and their 214 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: predictions are wrong. These experts are wrong. In fact, coming 215 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: up after two thirty, I want to read you one 216 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: of the best pieces I've read in a while by 217 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: Peggy Noonan, who's a long time writer writes for The 218 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. Now she'd probably see her on a 219 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: lot of Sunday morning TV shows or panel discussion shows, 220 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: and I think she was a speech writer many years 221 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: ago for Reagan. In any event, she came up with 222 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: a phrase, and I admit, when I'd read this phrase, 223 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: I thought, wow, I wish I'd said that. I wish 224 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: I had thought of that, because I've been kind of 225 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: I've been searching for a phrase like that to describe 226 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: all these people, especially the progressives. The progressives who have 227 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: a lot of education and credentials, and they're well spoken, 228 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: and they clearly have some kind of intelligence, right. You know, 229 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: when you have all that going for you, they're tough 230 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: nut to crack because all their credentials, all their Ivy 231 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: league college background. That's intimidating to most people, and most 232 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: people feel embarrassed trying to challenge them, tell them their wrong, 233 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: question them, because a lot of times all you have 234 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: is instinct, right, and they have their credentials. Well, she 235 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: labeled them in this piece high IQ stupid people, and 236 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: I saw that and I just burst out laughing. That's it. 237 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: They're high IQ stupid people. And she explains why wasn't 238 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: just a random insult, But she has a thought process. 239 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to read that to you after two thirty, 240 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: because that is what we're being ruled by. In some cases, 241 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: we're just being ruled by stupid. Okay, but there's a 242 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: lot of high IQ stupid going on, especially among the progressives, 243 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: and it's kind of paralyzed everybody else because they will 244 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: lord over you with their their backgrounds. They get hired 245 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: that way. That's why you know, the Ivy League produces 246 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: a lot of dreadful people, and they get into law, 247 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: they get into government, they get into media, and they 248 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: really run the place. And they've created this climate we're 249 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: living in, and I think for a lot of people, 250 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: because human nature is very flawed. You get all these credentials. 251 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: You're told since you were three years old, how brilliant 252 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: and smart you are. Right, you're constantly rewarded. You're making 253 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: a six figure salary, you get some notoriety in your field, 254 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: or you're on television all the time, you get elected. 255 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: You have such an infrastructure that protects your ego that 256 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: if somebody says, wow, you really blew this, you're really wrong, 257 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: they immediately rejected and they tell you the opposite of 258 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: the truth because they haven't ever dealt with any pushback 259 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: in their life, with any criticism in their life, so 260 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: they simply reject it and say, no, it's not true. 261 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: Like Chessi Bodine, it's like, no, crime is down, everything's fine. Garcetti. No, actually, 262 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: we've we've helped homelessness. Biden. It's like, you know, really 263 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: the economy is going really well, and it's Vladimir Putin's 264 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: fault anyway, Trump running around, Oh I really won the election. 265 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: It's like, no, all you people are crazy. It's not reality. 266 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: So we'll get into that when we come back. Get 267 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: to Sepeggan unit piece coming up also later on looks 268 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: we have some nine one one audio of Nicholas Roski, 269 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: the guy from seem Valley who wanted to kill the 270 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice Brett Havana. They have nine one audio 271 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: before he got arrested, and it looks like while he 272 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: didn't have all those obvious signs that anybody in town 273 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: could have noticed, he had a very troubled background. And 274 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it when we come back. Johnny Ken Cafe. 275 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: One thing I forgot to mention the last segment I 276 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: meant to get to. We were talking about Joe Biden 277 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: says he wants to pop some of the cargo executives 278 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: in the face because they are charging a thousand percent 279 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: more than last year to transport goods from Asia here 280 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: to Like, if you had the person in front of 281 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: you'd want to Popham, Popham, Yeah, Popham, that's what he 282 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: wants to do because he's so mad that the carbco 283 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: companies have increased the shipping prices by over one thousand percent. 284 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: The thing is what he didn't mention in September of 285 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, he won prices of shipping cargo from Asia 286 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: to here. We're already up fifteen hundred percent, not just 287 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: on fifteen hundred percent, and he said nothing about that. 288 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 1: In fact, he was telling everybody that inflation is going 289 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: to taper off. It's transitory. So he suddenly decided now 290 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: in June that the cargo prices are unconscionable. Well, they 291 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: were that way at least nine months ago, if not more. 292 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: And the reason he's doing it is they know most 293 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: people don't understand why cargo would cost so much. Here's 294 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: why we came out of COVID and people started spending 295 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: a lot of the free money that the government gave 296 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: us and we had more freedom to buy things and 297 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: more need to buy things or more want, more desire, 298 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: So a lot of people bought a lot of stuff 299 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: all at once and overloaded the supply chain. Well happens 300 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: if there are a lot of companies calling up cargo 301 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: firms saying, Hey, I need space on that chip, I 302 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: need space on that chip. Well, if you're running a 303 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 1: cargo firm, what happens. Maybe you've got room for one 304 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: hundred companies worth of stuff, but you've got two hundred 305 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: companies calling, so you're going to raise the price. Right. 306 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: What happens when there's high demand and low supply, prices 307 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: go up. You have high demand to ship goods, you 308 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: have a low supply of space on the cargo carriers. 309 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: So that's normal. That's the capitalism we've all agreed to 310 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: live with for a long long time now, and that's 311 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: what drives up the price. And of course the cargo 312 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 1: companies are going to make more money because it's the 313 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: same space. It's not costing them more to have empty space. 314 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: They can just rent out the empty space for more money. 315 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: It's the same reason that apartments are going up. There's 316 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people looking for apartments. Now they have 317 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: a lot of extra money. There's a lot of fake 318 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: money in circulation. The government printed trillions of dollars. A 319 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: lot of people made trillions of dollars in the stock 320 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: market and cashed out. A lot of people made trillions 321 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: of dollars in cryptocurrency, which is truly fake money, but 322 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: once you converted into dollars, it's real money. That's driving 323 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: up the cost of real estate, it's driving up the 324 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: cost of apartments. The shipping companies are raising their rates 325 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: because there are so many firms here in America that 326 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: want to sell stuff to us, and a lot of 327 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: we all know that a lot of the products in 328 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: the world come from China. If we made stuff here 329 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: in America, nobody would have to pay for the shipping costs. 330 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: But we created the incentives for companies to move their 331 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: factories and their jobs to China, and now we're paying 332 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: the prices. That was another stupid decision, and that's what 333 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: causes the inflation of the cargo price. It's got nothing 334 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: to do with greedy cargo companies. If you were running 335 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: a cargo company, you would do it too, because because 336 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: everyone's willing to pay it, and then they raise the 337 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: price on the stuff you buy. Well, you can choose 338 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: not to buy the stuff, because a lot of this 339 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: is not stuff that you have to have, it's what 340 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: you'd like to have. And so the price is going 341 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: to go up. And you'll see when people get sick 342 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: of the inflation, they'll stop buying these things. The economy 343 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: will hit a recession, but prices will go down because 344 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: now the power will switch sides. Now going on to 345 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: Peggy noonan chest of Bodine as his recall has launched 346 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: a thousand opinion pieces that I've been reading, and this 347 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: one I think is the best because it explains the 348 00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: problem normal people have with progressives, especially here in California. 349 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: And the overview is progressives come into office, let's say, 350 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: or they take over newspapers, and they have a theory, 351 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 1: an abstract theory on how the world should work. The 352 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: rest of us have to deal with how the world 353 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: really works. But they're locked in their bubble. They came 354 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: with their credentials and their schooling, and they have their titles, 355 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: their powerful positions, and they could lord over us with 356 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: their theory and do their social experiments. Here's what she wrote, though, 357 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: and this is really important because this does not get 358 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: reported very much. In the Bodine case up in San Francisco, 359 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: the recall, early reports suggest, unsurprisingly that minority voters backed 360 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: the recall in greater numbers than college educated whites. This 361 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: is because they suffer more and have fewer protections when 362 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: crime spikes and homeless encampments sees new ground. I want 363 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: to repeat that minority voters back the recall in greater 364 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: numbers than college educated whites because they suffer more when 365 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: crime spikes. Have you heard any media coverage that address 366 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: that reality. You get this pandering, condescending media coverage which 367 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 1: constantly places minority residents as victims of overbearing police. Oh 368 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: looks like when it comes to voting, the minority residents disagree, 369 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: and you have these silly, college educated white people who 370 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: know better. And she says, this is what the foes 371 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: of progressives are saying. We won't let our city go down. 372 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: We won't accept the idea of steady deterioration. We will 373 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: fight the imposition of abstract laws reflecting abstract theories of 374 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: people for whom life has always been abstract and theoretical. 375 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: We can't afford to be abstract and theoretical. We live 376 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: real lives. We wish to walk the streets unmolested and 377 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: with confidence. This isn't too much to ask, It is 378 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: the bare minimum, she writes. Progressive politicians have been around 379 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: long enough running cities that some distinguishing characteristics can be noted. 380 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: One is they don't listen to anybody. To stop them, 381 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: you have to fire them. Now. Kenn and I have 382 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: been saying this for years now. The only thing you 383 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: can do is fire them, because they don't listen to anybody. 384 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: And that's what Peggan Union says. They're not normal politicians 385 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: who have some give who tack this way in that way. 386 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: Progressive politicians have no doubt and no self correcting mechanism. 387 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: Another characteristic of progressive politicians they're more loyal to theory 388 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: than to people. If the people don't like the theories, 389 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: the progressives impose, that's too bad. The theory is pre eminent. 390 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: For example, progressive say we are changing all the rules 391 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: on arrest and incarceration because they're bad for minority groups. 392 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: The minority groups say, well, that sounds good in the abstract, 393 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: but let's make sure it's good in the particular, and 394 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: it proves not to be and the minority groups say stop, 395 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: and the progressive says, well, you have to like what 396 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: we're doing. It's good for you. What are you racist. 397 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: The minority group then says we're going to fire you. No, 398 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: you're not. Don't be ridiculous, says the progressive. Watch and 399 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: they fire him, and he's shocked. And the third characteristic 400 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: of a progressive is the progressive can't understand why he's 401 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: been fired. He tells reporters the voters are in a 402 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: bad mood because of inflation and housing costs. And a 403 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: final characteristic of progressive politicians here it comes. They tend 404 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: to be high IQ stop people. They're bright and well educated, 405 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: but they can't comprehend the implications of policy. Listen to this. 406 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: They don't understand that if an eighteen year old is 407 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: repeatedly arrested for assaulting people on the street and repeatedly 408 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: let go, his thought may not go in the direction 409 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: of what a gracious and merciful society I live in, 410 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: I will do more to live up to it. It 411 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: is more likely he will think I will assault to 412 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: anyone and get away with it. They are afraid of me. 413 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: That nails it better than anything i've ever seen red heard, 414 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: it's exactly what's going on. It's these absurd theories from 415 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: high IQ stupid people that in their fantasy world, if 416 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: you stop arresting and punishing criminals, they will say, oh, 417 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: thank you for your mercy. I'll try to be better 418 00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: next time. No, like anybody who had a kid knows, 419 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: if you let them get away with assaults and thefts 420 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: and all the rest, they say, Wow, I can do 421 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: this every day. No one's gonna stop me, and so 422 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: they do. Now, this is what's going on right now. 423 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: We got a choice. We either fire these people and 424 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: go back to the old way that works, or we 425 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: continue with their weird theories that are total failures. Really 426 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: a two propositions here. The boiling over of America is 427 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: the title of her column. It's in the Wall Street Journal. 428 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: You ought to read the whole thing. Johnny kenn Calfie, 429 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: do you have any jobs outside of radio? Yes, that's 430 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: the worst job you ever had selling shoes. Oh, I 431 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: would think you'd be in your glorious No. No, not 432 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: at the shoe store that I used to work out 433 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: when I was a teen. Not like that. JE have 434 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: weird guys coming in, No, wh's just people are so annoying. 435 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: I just retail was not for me. I can't deal 436 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: with certain people, and that's what I had to deal 437 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: with when I was selling shoes. Well, this job is worse, really. 438 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: There there are people who have to collect Vladimir Putin's 439 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: poop after he's done what. Yes. These men work for 440 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: the Federal Protection Service and they protect Putin and other 441 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: government officials in Russia. They're like our secret service. And 442 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: when Putin is out and about goes into a bathroom 443 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: and unloads, these men have to go and scoop it 444 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: up and put it in a box and take it away. 445 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: See you can't do that. You can't flush it, not 446 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: even after the no, no, no, they no, they take 447 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: it out. They are afraid that spies are going to 448 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: grab the poop, test the DNA and discover whatever diseases 449 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: are supposedly killing Putin. So reach down and get that 450 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: whatever you flush down there going get that backsgusting, I'll 451 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: let them reach down. Regis Gente is the author of 452 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: two books on Russia, and Mhale Rubin has covered Russian 453 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: for thirteen years, and they wrote this report for the 454 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: French news magazine Paris match that is a major magazine 455 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: in France. So every time Putin goes an fso agent 456 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: places the Putin excrement in a special packet and then 457 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: it's put in a suitcase and return to Russia. They 458 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: have evidence this happened during Putin's visit to France in 459 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: Maya twenty seventeen, and when he went to Saudi Arabia 460 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: in October twenty nineteen. In fact, there's a video showing 461 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: six men in suits and Poutin's entourage accompany him to 462 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: the bathroom. They're not checking for pe, just poop. Correct, 463 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't say anything about Pete. And then one was 464 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: seen exiting the bathroom holding a small briefcase. And they 465 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: don't want foreign countries discovering information about his health or 466 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: doing tests to see what he is, you know, what 467 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: kind of illnesses he might be genetically susceptible to. There's 468 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: another journalist, journalist named Farita Rostamovo, who has corroborated the report, 469 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,719 Speaker 1: saying on Twitter that she was aware of a similar 470 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: incident in Vienna, and she had another source who said 471 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: Poot's bodyguards had been collecting his poop for years. Because 472 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, there's been plenty of news saying that he's 473 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: sick and being treated for all kinds of conditions, including cantor. 474 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: There are other examples of what they call poop interception 475 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: being used in intelligence. In twenty sixteen, a former Soviet 476 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: agent said he discovered evidence that Joseph Stalin tried to 477 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: spy on China's Chairman Mao by analyzing his excrement. So 478 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: Stalin would steal Mao's poop. And this is what guys did. Really, Yeah, 479 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: this is why men should not run the world. Also, 480 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: and this goes back sometime British spies would sift through 481 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 1: soiled toilet paper used by Soviet troops in East Germany 482 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: during the Cold War, because Soviets were not given toilet 483 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: paper and often resorted to using military documents or personal 484 00:32:52,320 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: letters to wipe themselves. And it says stiff sifting. I see, 485 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: Oh okay they oh, I see. Since the Soviets were 486 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: not given toilet paper and they use military documents or letters, 487 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: they would steal the soiled document to try to pick 488 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: up intelligence. Okay, I can see that. It says, um, 489 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: it says here sifting through it, which included human excrement 490 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: and worse, let's worse grow up. I don't know. Well, 491 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: there's other things, but it was a valuable technique which 492 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: sometimes produced gems of intelligence. Why didn't the Soviets have 493 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: toilet paper? I don't know. Communism doesn't work. Um. In 494 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: early February, the French President McCrone refused a request from 495 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: the Kremlin to take a Russian COVID test, uh, because 496 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: they thought if if he allowed the Russians to do 497 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: a COVID test, they would be analyzing mccrone's DNA. Oh yeah, 498 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: so the paranoya goes both ways. I wonder how much 499 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: you get paid for being on poop patrol. You know, 500 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: you don't have a choice, because in Russia, if you 501 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: don't get paid, you just have to smile and enjoy it. 502 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: That's right, It's like, okay, you want now. It doesn't 503 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: say how they collect the poop, if they hold the 504 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: briefcase under him or somebody. No, I can't. I think 505 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: he poops in private, and then he leaves that he 506 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: doesn't flush, unlike what Eric was doing. And then they 507 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: go in with a scooper, A pooper scooper, A pooper scooper. 508 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: There you go. Um, but I mean, how many days 509 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: can you do that before you start? What if he's constipated, 510 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: I guess they don't have to worry about it. They 511 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: don't break. That's probably they're rooting for constipation. How many 512 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: days in a row do you want to go in 513 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: there and collect his poop? But they pay those guys. 514 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,399 Speaker 1: I think they pay those guys well, and you can. 515 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: I think you end up getting promoted a lot, and 516 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: then you can retire early. So you just have to. Yeah, 517 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: just carry the poop. I'm not going to complain about 518 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: my job anymore. Yeah, well, I'm gonna remind you in 519 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: case you have any problems what life could be like, right, 520 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: all right, Coming up, we've got more information about this 521 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: semi valley guy who went off the rails and showed 522 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: up at the Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house ready 523 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: to kill him. He stopped short, though, he called nine 524 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: one one instead and confessed before he tried to commit 525 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: the crime. And there's something different about this guy compared 526 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: to all the other loonies that have been running around 527 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: shooting people up. And he may have had a long 528 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: standing problem. I think you're going to be surprised at 529 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: the kind of parents he has. I think you're going 530 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: to be surprised at the way he's raised and when 531 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: you when you hear his background, and now that you 532 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: know what he's done, there really is only one possible 533 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,439 Speaker 1: explanation for this, and it looks like there's a history there. 534 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: So those are the clues you ruminate over that.
