We got 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: a lot to get to. We'll check in on the 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: supposed last day of the teachers strike, but it really 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: is about all the workers at LA Unified. It it 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: was about the John. It's about respect, the cafeteria workers, 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: the bus drivers, the in classroom aids all walked out 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: thirty thousand and the the teachers walked out in sympathy. And 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: this is day three, which means they should be back tomorrow, 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: but they're saying they'll go out again because they still 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: haven't gotten what they want, because they're uncaring racists taking 21 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: advantage of poor A minority kids and their parents who 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: don't have the leverage to stop this sort of thing. 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: Did you see the They would never get away with 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: this in a suburban district, or in a a private school 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: or a parochial school. And these are the underprivileged kids 26 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: who don't have that kind of cloud and their parents 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: don't have that kind of clouds. Are they're really being 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: abused by this crowd? The Times Funny did a story 29 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: on the parents that there's something called strike camp, which 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: I guess is some sort of daycare, but they're hard 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: to find for the parents to find a place to 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 1: hold the kid because I got to work all these 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: all these like goody goods stories about hey, here's an alternative, 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: here's a possibility. You can't go hunting around for that 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: if you're working twelve hours a day, especially if you're 36 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: a single mom, all right, if the daycare camp isn't 37 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: on your block. There are Times loves this. They did 38 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: another story about how low income workers are revolting. They 39 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: want more money and they're fighting on all fronts all 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: over the state of California. And they have a legislator 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: on their legislature on their side. So you know, the 42 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: ideas they're going to get what they want, big pay raises, 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: they're going after. What really could happen is companies will 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: just cut back reduce their operations in the state. Even 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: what happened thus with gas prices, you start going after 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: the oil companies. Well you're going to see a lot 47 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: less refineries. Yeah. Well, fast food workers have done this 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: and they've gotten replaced by kiosks, robots, strings, robots. I 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: mean it, you'll always lose. See again, you have no 50 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: leverage because you know what wins low prices. People love 51 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: low prices at places like this, fast food places where 52 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the service workers work, because that also 53 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: works for poor people to go and have a meal. 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's the same complaint we've heard for years 55 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 1: about Walmart. You know they don't pay their employees enough. Well, 56 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: they got really low prices. You don't have to be 57 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: in the workforce long enough to know that. Most employees 58 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: have no idea how business opera rates know. The default 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: for a lot of human beings is just to bitch 60 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: and complain and think that they're not getting enough. But 61 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: they don't know about a profit and loss statement. They 62 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: don't know about all the money you have to pay 63 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: in rent and utilities and taxes, and you know what 64 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: they do that's really cheap. And even the media does this. 65 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: They just cite the high pay of the executives and 66 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: say they're say they should be sharing that money. But 67 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: that's a small percentage of the total revenues taken in 68 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: by most companies. Oh, it's not going to go very 69 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 1: far to pay thousands of employees. It's huge increases. That's 70 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: a silly argument, right to call that a red herring 71 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: or action. And that's because what did we say the 72 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: other day of students do not meet minimum math standards 73 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: in the city. Do you think those people are going 74 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: to be able to do a little mathematics and take 75 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: the CEO salary and divided by the number of employees, 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: and then you'd find out how many extra dollars each 77 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: employee would get, And then you'd find out it isn't 78 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: very much, because as high as the salary is compared 79 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: to yours, if you divide it by a hundred workers 80 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: or a thousand workers or whatever it is, it doesn't 81 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: come to very much. But you have to be able 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: to do math, and most people don't do math, and 83 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: it's been proven that they graduate without knowing the basics 84 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: of math, so it's it's a foreign language to them. 85 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: They don't understand. They just But again, this is the 86 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: lament of the losers. Everybody who's ever been successful in 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: life does not spend any time bitching about how the 88 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: boss makes too much money and they're paid too little. 89 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: Nobody successful has ever spent a minute doing that. Now, 90 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: the Al Sagunto Times has spent years trying to play 91 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: down the fact that not only are people leaving the 92 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: state of California, but they're also people that make higher salaries. Finally, 93 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: today they're long time capital calumnist George Skelton admits that 94 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: California's populations on the decline and high income earners have 95 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: joined the exodus. He says this should worry the ruling 96 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: liberal Democrats who loved the tax wealthy people and spend 97 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: their money, especially on social programs, And he even admits 98 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: that just a couple of years ago he called this 99 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: all fake news. But now he says, of course, while 100 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: California has thirty nine million people, California's population entering the 101 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: twenty first century was thirty four million. We were predicted 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: to reach forty five million by twenty twenty, fifty nine 103 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: million by twenty forty. But we've hit a peak of 104 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: thirty nine point six million and twenty nineteen, and we've 105 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: been losing people ever since. And he admits their college educated, 106 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: upper income people there, they absolutely are. Yeah. First on 107 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: the population projections, they were so far wrong. More experts, 108 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: and they spent a lot of months and developed policy 109 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: to try to deal with California blowing up to fifty 110 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: million people. I remember Jerry Brown talking about it. That 111 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: one of the reasons for his climate change policies in 112 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: Central Valley. Right, we're gonna have to deal with fifty 113 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: nine people by the year twenty forty. So all these 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: experts were wrong. And then secondly, two years ago he 115 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: said it was fake news. Well, two years ago didn't 116 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: account for COVID remote work, the complete devastation of the 117 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: cities where it became unlivable to exist in San Francisco. 118 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: But all along what Skelton does, and it's a trick 119 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: because they should know better. I mean, he's ninety five 120 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: years old. You ought to know better. Data looks backwards, 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: Data tells you where you used to be. It's useless. 122 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Your own two eyes tell you a lot more. I 123 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: know in my life, I've got a good list of 124 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: friends and acquaintances that we know they're not here anymore. 125 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: And they moved to Georgia, they moved to Florida, they 126 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: moved to London, or the husband is working half the 127 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: year in Florida or in Texas in order to pull 128 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: a tax dodge, especially once the kids grow up and 129 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: you end up with a different rhythm of life. And 130 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: it's all it's all about two things, reducing the tax 131 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: load and getting away from the zombie apocalypse in Los Angeles. Yeah. Well, 132 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: in this column, all these sites is the fact that 133 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: we don't have enough housing and it's too costly to 134 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: live here. Doesn't mention anything like that. Yeah, we're leaving 135 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: the state now to the vagrants and the uneducated, apparently 136 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: low skilled population, which doesn't have the wherewithal to leave, 137 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: which is why we become poorer and poorer. And they 138 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: try to go after the wealthy year to get more 139 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: tax money. They I mean, he cites the statistic that 140 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: we've talked about so many times. The top one percent 141 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: of earners pay half of the state's income taxes. The 142 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: top ten percent, it gets to eighty percent. That is 143 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: so unbalanced, which is why we're headed towards another deficit. 144 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: Because who's ever left paying these taxes? The markets ain't 145 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: doing too well. The wealthy will take more abuse than 146 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: the middle class. The middle class where the first ones 147 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: out the door. The wealthy will take more abuse because 148 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: they can afford to. But like any human, if you 149 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: abuse them long enough, oh she's never gonna leave me. 150 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: Oh she's you know, she's never gonna live in a 151 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: house like this. Oh she's never gonna have the kind 152 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: of money at all. She's you know what. You abuse 153 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: people long enough, they get out. It's like, you know what, 154 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't need your weather in California. In fact, the 155 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: weather kind of sucks the last six months. Anyway, all right, 156 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: we got more coming up, John and Ken kf I 157 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: AM six forty.

We'll check 164 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: in next hour on the LA Unified School District strike update. 165 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: I was just looking at an opinion column in the 166 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Daily News by a writer named sal Rodriguez, 167 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: and holy mackerel. He just lays out the numbers. Thirty 168 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: nine point one nine percent of students exceeded state English 169 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: standards in LA Unified. Just twenty six percent met or 170 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: exceeded state math standards. Yeah, yeah, no, it wasn't. It wasn't. 171 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't much better before COVID. This is the twenty 172 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: one twenty two school year. He's citing. Do you want 173 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: to know something that's true? We are number one among 174 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: all the developed nations, all the economically advanced nations, in 175 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: funding per pupil for education in the whole country. Number 176 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: one in results. We're twenty eight. Right, there's twenty seven 177 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: other economically advanced countries that do better than we do, 178 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: and in some cases significantly better than we do. So 179 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: we are pouring a lot of money into the cheacher's 180 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: union machine, and that's where most of the money goes, 181 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: and they are producing a terrible product. He also points out. 182 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: And this is worth noting because yesterday we mentioned that 183 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: we're hearing this twenty five thousand dollars salary being thrown 184 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: around for these thirty thousand support workers who are on strike. 185 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: But he says, in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, the cost 186 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: of contributions to the l unified school district to the 187 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: state teacher's pension seven hundred and eleven million dollars. This 188 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: year it's going to surpass a billion. Contributions to the 189 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: California's public employees retirement system sniped from one hundred and 190 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: seventy one million to two hundred and ninety seven million. 191 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: So what they're getting, and that's true, sometimes it doubles 192 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: the total play. They're getting pretty good benefits, you know, 193 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: between healthcare and everything else that they get. This whole 194 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: thing parallels what we were just talking about, where after 195 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: a lot millions of middle class taxpayers left the state, 196 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: and now a noticeable number of wealthy taxpayers are leaving, 197 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: and so what's going to be left. It's gonna be 198 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: a lot of poor people. Well, it's already happened in 199 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: the school systems. I mean, it's la school system is 200 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: mostly the very poor mostly minority, significant percentage illegal alien, 201 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: don't speak English. That's what's left in the school system now. 202 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: The teachers don't care. They know who they are teaching to. 203 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: They see them every day. They know the parents, the 204 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: ones that bother to show up. They know they've got 205 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: carte blanche. They're not getting any parental resistance. They are 206 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: not dealing with a parental clientele that's comfortable or has 207 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: the time to walk in there and say this, this, 208 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: this is garbage here, what's going on? So they know 209 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: they got a free reign. They can demand thirty percent, 210 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: forty percent, fifty percent raises, they can stay at a 211 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: school for a year, two years they practically did. And 212 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: who's going to stop him. The only ones who could 213 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: stop him are the parents. And they know they have 214 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: a parent base that's not going to do that, don't 215 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: have the time. Uncomfortable in the culture. To some extent, 216 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: the schools are a babysitter. Yeah, the parents because they 217 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: just have to continue to work at low wage jobs 218 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, someone's got to take care of 219 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: the kids and then put them in there for free. 220 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: So I and that's why the parents in the Eli 221 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: school district are the most abused, and that's why you 222 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: have most of the kids who are are not even 223 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: minimally proficient at math, most of the kids not minimally 224 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: proficient at reading. That's why there and then you read 225 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: propaganda articles in the time segment. You know a lot 226 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: of parents are supporting the unions here. It's like, well, 227 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: if they are, then their children are doomed because if 228 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: your parent isn't even fighting for you to keep the 229 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: school open, and they didn't during COVID good. I feel 230 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: so bad for these kids because you know, they can't 231 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: control what you're born into, and here they're born into 232 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: a school district or all the adults are are lined 233 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: up against you. They all hate your existence and they 234 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: are going to exploit and abuse you. I will have 235 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: more on this in the three o'clock hour and we'll 236 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: get a live reporter. What's going on with the rallying 237 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: striking workers in Italy? Unified today in Sacramento easily thirty 238 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: votes to eight. Senate Bill X one hyphen two has 239 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: moved onto the Assembly. What is that bill? That's the 240 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: one that would allow the California Energy Commission to determine 241 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: whether or not the oil companies are making too much 242 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: profits and to grab money from them. The only thing 243 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: this will result in again is probably even higher gas 244 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: prices in the state of California. This was Newsom's workaround 245 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: because the legislature wasn't doing anything about going directly after 246 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: oil companies for their profits, so he came up with 247 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: this idea to give more power to the unelected members 248 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: of the California Energy Commission. They're going to set up 249 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: some special watchdog to gather data from the oil company, 250 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: you know, and then determined, like the communist state, that 251 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: they make too much money. Okay, this is really clever, 252 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: and most people will never know what's happening. This is 253 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: another way to get a backdoor tax on your gas. Probably, yeah, 254 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: because and that's the purpose of this, because ultimately, whatever 255 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna find means they have to penalize the gas 256 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: companies and that's going to be a financial penalty and 257 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: that'll be passed along with a price increase, but the 258 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: money goes to the government. Well, what do you call that? 259 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: If I'm paying other ten cents more, twenty cents more 260 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: for a gallon of gas to cover the penalty and 261 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: the government ends up with it, that's a tax, and 262 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: it's actually the whole thing is designed as an elaborate 263 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: cover for the tax, the way all the global warming 264 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: mechanisms were designed as an elaborate cover for what became 265 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: a gas tax, and this is another one. So the 266 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: agency would refer violations to the Attorney General's office and 267 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: they would determine whether or not a price gouging penalty, 268 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: as John mentioned, money is necessary to address the high 269 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: gas basses. Look at look at Look at the facade 270 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: they have erected to hide the gas tax. Because you know, 271 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: he's he's going to run for presidents, so he can't 272 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: go too heavy on the taxes. I mean, obviously, well, 273 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: but that's but this is the way to pretend he's 274 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: not taxing you. Right, He goes after the oil companies 275 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: to look like he's the hero, and they turned around 276 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: and the gas prices on us. That that's what else. 277 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: You're really following this sleight of hand, and that's what's 278 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: going on. Nobody is this is the only place you're 279 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna hear what's going on. By the way, 280 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: they designed it this way on purpose. He knows this 281 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: leads to attacks. He knows this leads to more revenue. 282 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: He also thinks that this is gonna be another step 283 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: to driving you out of your car. So good lord, 284 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: that's here. They're gonna spend seven to ten million dollars 285 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: annually on this stupid new oversight to watchdog. Another landing 286 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: spot for everybody. That's right, for political hacks who need jobs, 287 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: or every out of work politician who got term limited out. 288 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: You'll see how many former assemblymen or state senators or 289 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: direct former directors of this department or that agency. That's 290 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: where you go. It's a way stage. And you know, 291 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: it just cracks me up because that's the conversation they 292 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: have behind closed doors. Okay, how do we how do 293 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: we raise another tax on gas without it looking like attacks? Well, 294 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: you make it as complicated it is possible, and you 295 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: stand up there pumping your fists self righteously about how 296 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: you're willing to take on the oil companies. That also 297 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: works for his campaign, right, he's going to be the 298 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: Democratic candidate that's going to take on big oil, take 299 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: on big business who are abusing the people. All Right, 300 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: we got more coming up, John and Ken kf I 301 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: am six forty.

Everybody decided to 306 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: take a hike, so therefore there's been no classes. Today 307 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: supposed to be the last day before they go back tomorrow. 308 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: But they're saying their strike again if they don't get 309 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: what they want, and they appear to have their arms 310 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: folded thirty percent. The only thing I heard today is 311 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: that supposedly they're back negotiating again. I don't know whether 312 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: or not may or Bessetti standing there in the middle 313 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: orchestrating this thing, but they have agreed to sit down 314 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: and try to hammer out. We need Trump's phrase, You're fired, man. 315 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: That's really the only way you imagine doing this at 316 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: your workplace. Walking in demanding a twenty three percent raise, 317 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: or you're gonna stand and shot. They're being offered twenty three. 318 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: They want thirty. Okay, go go go into your boss's 319 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: office demand a thirty percent raise, or you're gonna stand 320 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: in front of the building all day shouting. You won't 321 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: make it. Out of the office. You'll you'll be you 322 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: have your ass kicked down the stairs so fast. That's 323 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: not the way the world works. And it's not fair 324 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: to the kids. But they don't care about the kids. Well, 325 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: I found this column hidden away at newsweek dot com Newsweek. 326 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: I guess it's still around, right, that was the weekly magazine. 327 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: Almost somebody bought the name. I see. Well, it still 328 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: looks like the logo was right. If there's no connection though, 329 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: do they actually print of a magazine or I don't know, 330 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: Oh ID nowhere to buy magazine, So I don't know 331 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: what's going on. They spent a lot of time on 332 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: that website with Ukraine and Putin. I just noticed that 333 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: and looking at it for months now. But doctor Stephen 334 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: Quay popped up, a physician, scientist, the founder of a 335 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: Seattle based biopharmaceutical company called a Tassa Therapeutics. Now I 336 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: didn't do a lot of research into him. He could 337 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: be a quack. Who knows, because just because somebody's a 338 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: doctor doesn't mean that they don't have some scrolls las. 339 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: But anyway, his column got my attention because it's title. 340 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: I suspected a China lab leak. Early on, but my 341 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: research was rejected. I happened to hear a news report 342 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: about a new unknown virus coming out of China back 343 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: in the end of twenty nineteen. He rites, and then 344 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: I saw a clinical case report about a family in 345 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: Wuhan Central Hospital. The mother and father both had this 346 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: really strange pneumonia. Their son had no symptoms, but his 347 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: X ray showed his lungs had exactly the same lesions. 348 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: Their doctor knew immediately this was a new form of coronavirus. 349 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: It clearly passed from human to human. There was clearly 350 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: an asymptomatic form of the virus, but she claims nobody 351 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: listened to her warnings. So he continues to write. When 352 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: I initially saw the viral genome, which was in January 353 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, I noticed he describes it as a pretty 354 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: esoteric thing. The virus we would later call SARS covid 355 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: two had something called a furan cleavage site or an FCS. Well, 356 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: the FCS, which has never been seen before, and a 357 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: SARS COVID two related coronavirus is a genetic feature that 358 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: makes it easier for a virus to infect human cells. 359 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: So when I saw this on SARS COVID two. I 360 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: knew it was going to make it easier to infect 361 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: cells and easier to evade the immune system by tunneling 362 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: into neighboring cells, knowing that these are not found in 363 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: nature in SARS related viruses. I also knew that for years, 364 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: scientists must have artificially been putting new fcss into virus 365 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: is to see what they could do. And in every instance, 366 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: in every case I've seen in which they published their results, 367 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: it has increased infectivity, transmissibility, also a combination of all 368 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: these things. So I looked at that and I said, wow, 369 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: isn't that one of the first things we learned about 370 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: this coronavirus When it began to go around the world 371 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: in early twenty twenty, everybody was like, Wow, this one 372 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: appears to be really easily transmitted, unlike very unlike anything 373 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: else they had seen. And he says, this seems to 374 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: be backed by what he describes. This is FCS thing 375 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: that goes on. So what do we know so far? 376 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: We know that the virus came out of the same 377 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: town where they were doing this COVID research. We know 378 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: that our government, Anthony Fauci, was sending money to this 379 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: research center in order to enhance the virus, to change 380 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: it genetically, to see if they could strengthen it in 381 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: some way. The purpose of the research was to create 382 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: a stronger virus for two reasons. One they'll admit to 383 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: because they want to get the jump in case, in 384 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: case it evolves into something more deadly. The second part is, 385 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: now you have a pretty effective biological weapon, right if 386 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: you wanted to take out a million people in your 387 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: enemies country. Hey, look at that. YE got a loaded 388 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: gun here. Okay, And that is part of this that 389 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: they'll never admit to. These are weapons. And what is 390 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,719 Speaker 1: the other coincidence? Okay, it's in Wuhan, it's the COVID 391 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: virus that's being worked on, and there's a lab accident 392 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: just before it's spread around the world. Three three employees 393 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: ended up sick with symptoms that didn't match any other 394 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: kind of flu that they'd ever seen. I don't know 395 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 1: what else you need about this. This is what happened, 396 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: he continues to write. In late twenty twenty, I conducted 397 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: an analysis, and I determined that there was a ninety 398 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: nine percent probability that SARS COVID two was not natural. 399 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: They call it zoonosis, but instead was laboratory derived right 400 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: didn't come from an animal. But he could not get 401 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: himself on any left leaning mainstream media outlets. He did 402 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: a number of TV and radio interviews, but he also 403 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: said he had trouble. He says he's written three hundred 404 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: and ninety peer reviewed papers and reports. Normally, the process 405 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: involved sending in a paper to be reviewed by journal 406 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: editors and expert scholars. The papers reviewed, it sometimes gets 407 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: heavily criticized, and eventually he's published. Well. In twenty twenty, 408 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: I sent out the papers to be peer reviewed, but 409 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,239 Speaker 1: I got rejected. Nobody would peer review my work. It 410 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: was sort of like there was this big shield put up, 411 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: and I don't know where it's started, whether it was 412 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: Fauci or somebody else. And the government said they do 413 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: not entertain this idea that it's a lab created virus. 414 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: Let's put up a block, right, And at the same time, China, 415 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: controlling the World Health Organization, put a stop to any 416 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: investigation of the rigin of virus and ordered the World 417 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: Health Organization to put out propaganda that it came from 418 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: an animal market. That's what happened. And I mean I 419 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: don't know why people can't accept this. The Chinese Communist 420 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: Party is evil, he said. They put up what he 421 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: calls a gaate, and so they could keep saying to 422 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: the public, well, there's no peer reviewed data that shows 423 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: SARS COVID two came from a lab because they wouldn't 424 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: do it. He couldn't get it done. And I'm sure 425 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 1: it wasn't the only scientist that was trying to get 426 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: a peer review. No, no, but they kept blocking. Science 427 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: has become extremely politicized, and if you produce a paper 428 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: that goes against whatever the left wing science consensus is 429 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: of the day, it will simply be rejected and you'll 430 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: be ostracized from the scientific community. That stuff goes on 431 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: with climate change too. But how did this be come 432 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: left wing? I don't even see the connection. Sometimes when 433 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: I study these crazy issues that divide the country, I 434 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: kind of see the ideology behind the two sides. But 435 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: why would it be left wing to oppose the idea 436 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: that this was a lab created virus. I don't get that. 437 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: I don't understand this. It was it could because Trump 438 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: was the first one to purport the idea that this, Yeah, 439 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: he government out the Chinese government in the Muhan lab. 440 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: You know, when you're you're when you're when you're dealing. 441 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: You had Fouching on the other side. He was a 442 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: hero of the progressive left who was part of the 443 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: group that said no, no, we don't believe that's even possible. Right. 444 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: He became like a patron saint. He became a religious figure. 445 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of religion in all this religious 446 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: like behavior involved here. And he was one of their idols. 447 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: And he had the secret, the secret that he was 448 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: financing the gain of function research. Remember the company that 449 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: he sent the money to in New York. Money went 450 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: to New York and then to Wuhan, it was almost 451 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: like a money laundering, and went to some other nonprofit 452 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: health organization. It was it was our tax money going 453 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: to this health organization. New York transferred it to Wuhan. 454 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: And immediately the guy who ran the New York organization 455 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: got fifty or one hundred scientists to sign a public 456 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: letter saying that it was completely wrong to say that 457 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: this virus came from the lab, that it must have 458 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: come from animals. They had the whole machine in place 459 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: to protect Fauci and and and and there is a. 460 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: There's an extreme reluctance on the part of everyone in power, 461 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: in business and in politics to criticize China. And look 462 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: how they get away with the slave labor you know, 463 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, to make Apple phones for example. Right, Look 464 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: how they have slave labor making lebrons, sneakers. Look how 465 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: you can't criticize their policies sce Hong Kong and Taiwan. 466 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: In fact, general manager for the NBA Houston Rockets put 467 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: out like a two word tweet standing up for the 468 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: people of either Hong Kong or Taiwan. I forget, and 469 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: they cut off all the NBA television coverage in China 470 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, cost like, you know, 471 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: a billion dollars or more. There. The government and big 472 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: business is so in bed with the Chinese Communist Party 473 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: that they shut down any criticism that makes them look bad. 474 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: All right, we got more covered up. John and Ken 475 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: kf I AM six forty. We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 476 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from kf 477 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: I AM sixty Well. KFI news reporter Chris Adler has 478 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: been embedded with the strikers at LA Unified and I 479 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: guess they're having They love having rallies, they love standing 480 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: on street quarters and waving signs. Sit down at the 481 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: negotiating table and hack this out so the kids can 482 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: get back in the classroom and the parents can find 483 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: can go back to work without trying to find daycare 484 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: options every day. Stop taking advantage of immigrant families. Thirty 485 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: percent thirty percent. Respect not about money. It's about respect. 486 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: Makes no sense, of course, it's about money. But you 487 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: can understand this. So we will talk to Chris and 488 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: see what she's learned. Supposedly they are back discussing a deal, 489 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: but that could just be bs and supposed to return 490 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: to mart. It's a three day strike, but they said 491 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: that they'll be back doing this with an indefinite end soon. Oh. 492 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: I heard one guy say this morning, you haven't had 493 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: to next school year. I'll do it. I'll walk. It's 494 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: about respect, respect. It doesn't want to work. It doesn't 495 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: want to work. Do they get much strike benefits? And 496 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: it's an easier day. There's no pressure. You go out 497 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: and you know they rotate, you take chefs. When when 498 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: they have these union protests, everybody takes two hours. Then 499 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: a new group comes in, so it's two hours and 500 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: you go back home and open us six back, right, 501 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: that's what. And yeah, whether they get paid, I don't know. 502 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: I don't care. You know what, they should be fired. 503 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: This is abusive, all right. Oh look, we've got an 504 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: animal story. Where's our animal lover? I'm here present. Bad 505 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: things going to be happening to this animal. No victory. 506 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: Who remember the story? Was that last year the year 507 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: before that, some cows escape from the slaughterhouse. Oh that 508 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: was awesome and they eventually got rounded up, but they 509 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: were all safe. This time, it's a baby. A four 510 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: month old calf made a run for it while being 511 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: taken to a slaughterhouse in Brooklyn, New York. A baby, 512 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: four month old calf. Veal. Yeah, John's right, that probably 513 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 1: was a veal place four months old? Really you veal eaters? Really, 514 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: I had veal about two weeks ago. Shame on you, Oh, 515 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: shame on you. I don't do what they do to 516 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: the animals, I think, I don't. They still do it, 517 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: but they still leave them in the dark and stuff. 518 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: And no, I'm gonna cry because the meat has to 519 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: be really keep going. I think you can get a breakdown. 520 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: Oh that really is upsetting. I mean, seriously, veal no, 521 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: don't don't have that anymore. It's so cruel. Four months 522 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: you hear a ken said, four month old calf. I 523 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: mean that is that is horrible. It was on its 524 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: way to the Saba Live poultry slaughterhouse in Brooklyn, nice name, 525 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: Saba Live. And while while they were unloading it from 526 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: the truck, it ran off good and there's great video. 527 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: It's running through the streets of Brooklyn. I mean, this 528 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: is Brooklyn. There's a lot of people in traffic. It's 529 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: also really dangerous too. People they tried to they tried 530 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: to round her up. Eventually they recaptured the calf. Now 531 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: what happened next is kind of interesting because immediately the 532 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: sanctuary people came to the calf's aid, yes, offering to 533 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: take it to a sanctuary called the Skyland's Animal Sanctuary 534 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: in New Jersey John co Belt. However, one of the 535 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: people behind the sanctuary said, when I called up the 536 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: owners and apparently the calf came from a farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 537 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: they were stubborn. They did not want to give up 538 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: the meat because they well, they invest money and veal 539 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: is expensive dish. I had villain pasta. You know, this 540 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: is probably like a twenty eight dollars dish, like a 541 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: veal pamajan you have know it was. It was pasta 542 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: with m oh I forget it was. It was some 543 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: odd kind of pasta. You'll live without it, you know, 544 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: and then a lot of veal on the side, and 545 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: it was like a wine sauce on top. Actually was 546 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: a little too fancy for my taste, but it was. 547 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: It was good. It was tasty taste. Well, so they were. 548 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: They were talking to the people that owned the farm. 549 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: They want the calf to live out her life at 550 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: this Skyland's Animal sanctuary, but she said it took a 551 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: lot of convincing to get them to eventually agree. We 552 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: immediately offered the calf a lifelong home. But these people 553 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: have easily been the least receptive to letting an animal 554 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: live that I've ever dealt with, said the woman that 555 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: runs the sanctuary. The veal is very Maybe the news 556 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: coverage and the public sentiment help them see this, as 557 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: she preferred to the calf as a kid. As an individual, 558 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: veal is very tender and flavorful. Okay, John, we got 559 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: it's got a distinctive flavor compared regular the first three times. 560 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: I haven't had veal in a long time. You don't. 561 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: You don't find it too often. I guess you don't. 562 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: Is that because of all the blowback? Or is that 563 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: just because it's not brilli in demand. It's just it 564 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: tastes a little different. You have to like the taste, 565 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: and it's expensive. Well, Deborah Mark, you have a new 566 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: hero of Skyland's Animal Sanctuary has more than four hundred 567 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: animals rescued from slaughterhouses, live markets, and other instances of abuse. 568 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: You need to have to rectually give the calf a name. 569 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: You need to have the right kind of sauce. God John, 570 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: I thought the sauce was a little strong, just when 571 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,479 Speaker 1: I thought he was getting soft. Yeah, and siding with 572 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: you on some of these animals, he has made a comeback. 573 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: Not the ones you can eat. See I have you 574 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: said you have a hierarchy. I have tooin categories animals 575 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: you eat, animals you don't eat. I'll save the animals 576 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: you don't eat. But if if it's something that you 577 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: know tastes good on the plate, then well, and that's 578 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: mostly comes down to cows and calves for you, because 579 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: sure all about the beef. Damn, you don't care about 580 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: chickens because you don't eat chicken. Now I'm neutral and chickens, 581 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: I realize obviously. You know, most people like chicken eat rabbit. 582 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: I have had a rabbit. Yeah. You go to South America, 583 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: they serve a rabbit and guinea pig they do. Yeah. Yeah, 584 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: it's a delicacy. I've had little bits of that when 585 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: we went down there. All right, when we come back, 586 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: we'll check in on the walkout by everybody at La 587 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: Unified School.
