1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app on the radio from one until

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: four after four o'clock. Whatever you missed, you can hear

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: it on the John and Ken on demand podcast on

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: Yeah Hard app.

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Well, the legislature is going to go out of session

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: in just a couple of weeks, so this is where

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: they sweep up all the bills. We told you last

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: week they went through the suspense file, which is nonsense.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: But anyway, the one thing they did do that we

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: covered last week with a lot of coverage was the

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: fact that they move forward to bill that will punish

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: those who sex traffic miners with the more harsh penalties.

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Another one though, that they move forward, which is not

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: particularly good, is Assembly Constitutional Amendment Number one, and it's

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: a big attack on good old Prop thirteen passed in

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: the late seventies. Let's bring on John Coopaul from the

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. He's the president to talk of

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: out the dangers of ACA one. Welcome, How are you, John?

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: Good? I wish it was just ACA one. ACA one

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: would lower the two thirds vote down to fifty five

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: percent for anything identified as infrastructure. Now what is infrastructure?

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: I guess the question is what is not infrastructure? So

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 3: that is a real threat, however, as bad as that is,

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: and by the way, that is a direct assault on

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: Proposition thirteen. But perhaps the greater assault and threat to Prop.

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: Thirteen is this kind of sideways attack that they've come

29
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: up with a new Assembly constitutional Amendment number thirteen. If

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: you think the selection of the number thirteen is a mistake,

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: it's not that. I think they just want to rub

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: salt in our wounds here. It would effectively invalidate an

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: initiative measure that we've already qualified for the twenty twenty

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: four ballot. As you guys know, the courts have weakened

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: Prop thirteen substantially. We have worked very hard to qualify

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: an initiative called the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act.

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: We got millions of signatures. That's on the ballot in

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. They have proposed this constitutional amendment that

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: would make it virtually impossible for the Taxpayer Protection Act

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: to pass by requiring that that initiative, and that initiative

41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: alone itself, secure a two thirds vote of the statewide electorate,

42
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: getting a two thirds vote of the state wide electorate

43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: is virtually possible. Even Prop thirteen came close sixty four percent.

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: But even the original Constitution of eighteen seventy nine didn't

45
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: pass by two thirds vote. So this is a poison pill,

46
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: very sneaky. They're jamming it. And here's the danger. The

47
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: danger is the new Speaker of the Assembly, Robert Reeves himself,

48
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: is backing this and he's jamming it. And fortunately we

49
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: have lit up the phone lines and the business community

50
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: is on our side, the realtors, everybody on our side.

51
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: A Ledger is in a full court press to get

52
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: people to call their legislators against ACA thirteen. Yes, ACA

53
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 3: one is a threat, but at least at least as

54
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: bad as it is. ACA one is intellectually honest in

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: that it is a direct attack, and I think we

56
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: could beat that in a straight up fight. I'm less

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: confident that, because it's so oblaque and obscure, this ACA

58
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: thirteen would have the same effect. Now the proponents are

59
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: saying it doesn't have anything to do with Prop thirteen.

60
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: Fortunately nobody buys that. We don't buy it. We've been

61
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: defending Prop thirteen for forty five years. ACA thirteen is

62
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: a direct attack on Prop thirteen. Everybody needs to know

63
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: that they're going to try to jam it this week,

64
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: and people could go to a website.

65
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, John, We got to be honest with you.

66
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: We have You're really confusing the listeners with the two acas.

67
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think I even know the difference. I

68
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: know what, all right, I know if you say ACA

69
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: thirteen is more important, let's focus on that so we

70
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: don't lose the path here because I'm confused. I had

71
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: to go look it up here while you were talking,

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: and I found an opinion piece by you just a

73
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago on it.

74
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm confused to Let let's do an ACA means Assembly

75
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: constitutional amendment, Okay, And that's something that.

76
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Would go before the voters. So this is not something

77
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: that they passed and Sacramento, on its law would go

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: before the voters.

79
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: Okay, correct, okay, And this would lower the voter approval

80
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: to borrow money for bonds and tax increases from two

81
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: thirds to fifty five percent, as long as they slap

82
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: the phrase public infrastructure on it or public housing.

83
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: Correct. That is ACA Assembly Constitutional Amendment number one.

84
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: That's number one, John, Right, yeah, yeah.

85
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: You got you know, and if you think the confusion

86
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: is unintentional, it's not. This is the This is why

87
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: they're doing this. This is why they're doing that. If

88
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: you if you look at if you look at the

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: digest for ACA thirteen, you guys know that we've qualified

90
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: this very pro taxpayer initiative for November of twenty twenty

91
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: four that would restore the two thirds vote for local

92
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: special taxes. That's been the law under Prop thirteen for

93
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: forty five years.

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so they don't like it.

95
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 3: They don't like it. Oh that ula case, that is

96
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: one of that tax, that real estate transfer tax. That

97
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: is what precipitated this whole thing. And what we're trying

98
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 3: to do is simply restore the two thirds vote for

99
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: local special taxes. And what they've said is you can't

100
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: do that unless the initiative that you're supporting a statewide

101
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: electtion itself, has to get a two thirds vote of

102
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: the state wide electorate. That's never happened. It is, you

103
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: see what they're doing.

104
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand, I understand. It's just as you were saying.

105
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: And I wasn't familiar with the Second Amendment, and so

106
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: I was trying to understand as you were explaining it,

107
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: what is it going to do? And this is going

108
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: to be really hard for people to follow, but it's

109
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: extremely important I understand why we have to discuss this.

110
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: I'm on the fly trying to figure out how to

111
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: explain this to people in a way that everybody's going

112
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: to understand it because I was hitting a wall on it,

113
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: and I guess Ken was too.

114
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: So, well, are they both going to appear in next

115
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: year's ballot?

116
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 4: Is that what you're saying, Well, we're trying to kill

117
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 4: them both, and I do believe we stand a better chance,

118
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: quite frankly, of defeating ACA one, which is a straight

119
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: up loring of the two thirds vote.

120
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 3: That is a proposed change in the constitution that we

121
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: have defeated six times, five or six times before. It

122
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: is one of these perennial measures that come up every

123
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: year they try to move something through the Assembly to

124
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: lower the two thirds vote for special taxes, and we're

125
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: able to defeat it. This is where ACA thirteen is

126
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: this unusual thing to try to prevent us ever going

127
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: on offense again, because that is what the Taxpayer Protection

128
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: Act does. It restores Proposition thirteen to its original intent,

129
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: and they are trying this kind of weird way to

130
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: prevent that from happening.

131
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: Wow. They just fights you constantly, don't they. So I

132
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: guess to protect.

133
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: To protect our money, we'd have to say no on

134
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: Constitutional Moendment one and on Constitutional Midment thirteen No one,

135
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: both correct, okay, and yes.

136
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: On TPA Taxpayer Protection Act in November twenty twenty four.

137
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: Well we've got to defeat.

138
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: But these two are on the right. In March. The

139
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Amendment one, Amendment thirteen on the ballot in March.

140
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: Right, they could do it. They could do it. I

141
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: think they're going to try to get ACA thirteen on

142
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: in March.

143
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, about to fight one thing at

144
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: a time, because otherwise it becomes just just a mess,

145
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: it does.

146
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: I appreciate your patience because it is I mean, these

147
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: sneak attacks and they are so creative in the way

148
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: they come after us that it's incumbent on all your

149
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: all your listeners to try try to understand that. And

150
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: I know it.

151
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: I think I think most.

152
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: People listening understand that these propositions are are loaded and

153
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: the purpose is to snow the average voter. I think

154
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: after the prop forty seven experience, which has caused so

155
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: much mayhem in our lives, and after the high speed

156
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: rail experience, which has been an ungodly waste of money.

157
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: I think people who pay attention are on to the game.

158
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: They might not know the specifics that we're trying to

159
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: wade through here, but they know that when these ideas

160
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: come out of Sacramento, they're bad, and the Sacramento crowd

161
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: is lying about it, and and they're trying to confuse

162
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: us and manipulate us and all that.

163
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: So I think that that that's right, that's right, and

164
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: I hope people's antennae and cynicism are up all the

165
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: way for this one.

166
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, believe if we have trouble explaining all this, trust me.

167
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: If you're at home right now, you want to vote

168
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: no on this stuff because this this smells bad. Absolutely absolutely,

169
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 2: All right, John, thanks for coming on again with us,

170
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: all right.

171

173
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: Howard Jarvis, take care of you guys. All right again,

174
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: it's a couple of attacks on Prop thirteen, that's what

175
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: you have to remember. But you know, we'll have a

176
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: voter guide. We'll go over it again. It was just

177
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: a a little tough to follow there with the two

178
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: coming at us at the same time, somewhat close in nature.

179

188
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: Bidenville after the news at three point thirty for more

189
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: on that book. Excerpts are coming out, a book about

190
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's first three years as president, to some interesting chapters.

191
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: And we move over though to the other side of

192
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: the aisle, the Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. They're calling

193
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: them his health episodes. Well, the news today is that

194
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: the Capitol physician Brian P. Monahan put out a second letter,

195
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: and in this letter he's saying that McConnell's health problems

196
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: show John no evidence of a stroke or any kind

197
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: of a seizure, including what you mentioned, which is the

198
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: mini stroke, the skeemic that says that is it. Then, Well,

199
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: happened right back in March. McConnell was leaving a dinner

200
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: at a restaurant and he fell and hit his head

201
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: and suffered a concussion that left him visibly slower in

202
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: his speech and stride. And they think this might be

203
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: a lingering effect of the concussion. Doctor didn't say that,

204
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: that's where the speculation is going, and that at eighty

205
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: one it's harder to recover from those kinds of falls

206
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: than younger people. So they're saying that could explain part

207
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: of his his frozen episodes, if you want to call

208
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: him that. I don't know what that is. Right, So

209
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: his brain just locks and he can't speak or do

210
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: anything but stare.

211
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: So instead of his brain being damaged by Alzheimer's or

212
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 2: blocked by a stroke, it got dented because of this fall.

213
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: That's right, and it's still healing it well, I mean,

214
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: a concussion is like your brain kind of floats around

215
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: inside your skull or something. Right again, results and yeah,

216
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: what happens to NFL players?

217
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: I read something the other day about an athlete who

218
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: has had uh, it's been out for months. He took

219
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: I think he took a pitch to the face and

220
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: he's been he was laid up for months, and it's

221
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: called cascading concussion syndrome. And there was a complicated article

222
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: trying to explain what goes on because they've done a

223
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: lot of research now and testing and there's so many

224
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: biological events that go on inside a brain when it's

225
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: suffered a concussion, and there's no way to explain it

226
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: on the arts. It's it's it's too complicated. You need

227
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: an advanced degree to understand it. But it's clear that

228
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: you know it's it. People used to not take take

229
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: concussion seriously. You used to think it was just a

230
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: headache and it would go the way they did. But

231
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: if if you get a really bad knock on your head,

232
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: that could change your personality for good.

233
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll have to see whether or not, you know,

234
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: in months from now, he's still like this.

235
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 6: He's up.

236
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: He's not up for re election till twenty twenty six anyways,

237
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any plans to go anywhere.

238
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: Like Nyan Feinstein, the doctor wrote there is no evidence

239
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: you had a seizure or you experience a stroke TIA,

240
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: that's what John's referred to, transient ischemic attack or some

241
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: movement disorders such as Parkinson's. But you know, there was

242
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: no elaboration on what actually did cause the episodes. That's

243
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: why people are speculating about the concussions. Well, yeah, I know.

244
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

245
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: It's like, we're supposed to believe what they say, except

246
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: they don't want to give us the real answer.

247
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: Well, they gave him a brain MRI and that's what

248
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: you can tell of damage from a stroke.

249
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: Well, but it's also lying it didn't show up. It's

250
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: different roads to the same conclusion. Though his brain doesn't

251
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: work that well, there's something malfunction there. The why of

252
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: it is not as important really as to it's happening.

253
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: And this could be a permanent state.

254
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, he told Democratic Senator Dick Durbin McConnell, did all

255
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: I take it every test they thrown at me. The

256
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: concussion can take its call. So I'm going through recovering

257
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: from a concussion. That's apparently his story, and he's sticking

258
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: to it. All right, when we come back, we're going

259
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: to be in Bidenville. H there was an attempt today

260
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: and of course it's a reporter from Fox News to

261
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: ask the White House Press spokeshole about some details coming

262
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: out in the book about Joe Biden's first three years

263
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: as president, including one episode where he was complained complaining

264
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: about being treated like a toddler. Wait do you hear

265
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: the response from the White House Press spokes Hoole and

266

Speaker 2: missed the Johnny Kent on demand podcast on the iHeart app.

297
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: Well, there is a book. It's called The Last Politician

298

Speaker 1: Inside Joe Biden's White House and the Struggle for America's Future.

299
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: How come these popall always have this long titles.

300
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: I bought it today on Kindall. Yeah, and I only

301
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: read a few pages. Obviously, I didn't have time. The

302
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: prologue and I'm a little confused, and I want to

303
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: see where this book really goes. Because the prologue, this

304
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: guy is given Biden a tongue bath. Yeah, the writer

305
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: is Franklin Foer was Atlantic. Yeah, he's a typical.

306
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: Weening liberal media guy.

307
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: Right. So the first few pages in the prologue is

308
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: like hero worship stuff that the secret to Biden's success

309
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: is everybody underestimates him and what he's capable of doing.

310
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: But all these excerpts that are coming out confirms, you know,

311
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: what everybody can see with their own eyes.

312
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: You're not going to sell a book if it's a

313
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: tongue bath. You know, until people read it, they'll find

314
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: that out. But you want to put out some excerpts

315
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: to get people interested in Yes, they would probably be

316
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: the critical ones. The one we're going to focus on

317
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: first is apparently a story in the book that back

318
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: in March of twenty twenty two, while addressing a crowd

319
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: in Poland, Joe Biden said that Vladimir Putin cannot remain

320
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: in power. In short order, that was walked back by

321
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: White House staffers. Joe apparently complained that they're treating me

322
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: like a toddler. Was John Kennedy ever baby like that,

323
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: according to the fower in the book. So we bring

324
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: you now to today. Peter Doucy from Fox News asked

325
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Carreejong Pierre, the White House spokeshole, about that part of

326
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: the book.

327
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 9: President Biden is the oldest president in US history. Why

328
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 9: does White House staff treat him like a baby?

329
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 8: No one treats the President of the United States, the

330
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 8: commander in chief, like a baby.

331
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 9: There's this book that says that's ridiculous. What sounded like

332
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 9: a call for regime change in rush to the president quote.

333
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 9: Rather than owning his failure, he fumed to friends about

334
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 9: how he was treated like a toddlers.

335
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: John Kennedy ever baby like that.

336
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I'll say this, but there's going to be a range,

337
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 8: always a range of books that are about every administration,

338
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 8: as you know, to have a variety of claims. That

339
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 8: is not unusual, that happens all the time, and we're

340
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 8: not going to litigate those here. That's something that we're

341
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 8: not going to speak to. There is one thing that

342
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 8: I do want to because I think I was asked

343
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 8: this question last week by one of your colleagues about

344
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 8: this particular excerpt that they were referring to and.

345
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 10: So I'll say this. You know, we did see the

346
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 10: excerpt the context of the excerpt, and it seemed to

347
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 10: be making the opposite overall point about how the value

348
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 10: of his experience and wisdom resulted in rallying the free

349
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 10: world against authoritarianism, which is important. We have seen this,

350
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 10: you all have seen this and passage of the most

351
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 10: historic agenda in recent history in his handling a foreign

352
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 10: policy like rallying the world around Ukraine. Did you just

353
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 10: say from our national.

354
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: Advisor, this is like Tabila Harris's sister ya yay whoa

355
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: oh handheart's listening to that?

356
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: Stop it, boy, It took her a long time to

357
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: figure out.

358
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: How to twist the conversation in another direction and start

359
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: talking about his experience in leadership.

360
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: Well, you just want.

361
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: Understand what is the charade that they all play at

362
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: these news conferences? Why is everyone playing pretend he's senile?

363
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: He blurted out something which he believes. Of course, he

364
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: wishes Putin got removed, right, it would make life easier

365
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: if Putin got removed.

366
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: Of course he meant that you're him again, that's right.

367
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: And so you know he's pissed off because he meant

368
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: what he said, and they are treating him like a toddler,

369
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: and they didn't treat John Kennedy like a baby. And

370
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: that's all correct. He's actually lucid in those observations. Well,

371
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: but nobody could admit that that. The reason he blurted

372
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: it out is because he's going senile, because you're not

373
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: supposed to say those things out loud, because it sounds

374
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: like we're about to do an invasion to assassinate him.

375
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: This is kind of what we're talking about. Here's a clip,

376
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I guess from the weekend FEMA and Florida. Biden went

377
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: down there after the hurricane hit that state, and here's

378
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: a twelve second excerpting to.

379
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 7: Florida, I am going to I'm going to Florida on

380
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 7: Saturday morning.

381
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: All right this way?

382
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we mean. Where am I going? I'm

383
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: going to Florida. Todd Their mother takes them by the

384
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: hand and guides them to the next position. She does

385
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: this every time he's up at a podium on a stage.

386
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: He just stands there like, what do I do? Tell me?

387
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: It is frustrating because the opening part of the book

388
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: where I kind of understood like that scene we just played, right.

389
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: I understand the motivation he has. He waited to be

390
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: president all his life, and when he finally got there,

391
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: his brain failed. But this was his lifelong dream. He

392
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: worked for it for decades. He ran in the nineteen

393
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 2: eighties for president, and now he gets there and he can't.

394
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: Remember where he is, where he's going, who he is.

395
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: He's very frustrating.

396
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: He gets frustrating, so it stop treating me like a toddler.

397
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: Why are you treating me like a baby? Where am

398
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: I going? Why do I have to go this way?

399
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: It's like, wait a second, why is everybody telling me

400
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: what to do? I'm supposed to be telling all you

401
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: what to do. But he can't get a hold of

402
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 2: his mind because it's all worn out.

403
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: Shot, I'm shah. Another chapter on Kamala Harris says that

404
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: she had rabbit ears when it came to criticism in

405
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: the White House. She was instantly aware when anybody in

406
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: the inner Biden circle said something negative about her. She

407
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: also insisted she did not want to work on women's

408
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: issues or anything to do with race. She wanted her

409
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: office to be majority female and to have a black

410
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: woman as chief of staff. You know, what's really had

411
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: too many rules, they said for this to make it

412
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: work very well.

413
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: I just read that that all the political insiders, the

414
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: Democrats right that hover around Biden, they're frustrated because they

415
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: know one of the biggest issues the public is going

416
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: to have with reelecting Biden is he's not going to

417
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: make it. And Kamala Harris is sitting there and they

418
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: can't remove her and put in somebody else, like say,

419
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, because she's the first black female vice president

420
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: And that's the very that's the very thing that she

421
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 2: doesn't want to discuss. She doesn't want to discuss black issues,

422
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: female issues. She doesn't want that stuff. But that's the

423
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: whole reason she was selected. And it's the also, ironically

424
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: now the reason that that Biden is stuck with her

425
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 2: because nobody wants to risk woke blowback by replacing her

426
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: on the ticket.

427
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: And we know she didn't want the border either. Remember

428
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: he gave her the border problem and she kind of

429
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: rejected that too, didn't even want to go there.

430
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: I don't know, what is it that she's supposed to

431
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 2: be good at that she should be in charge of.

432
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't say from the excerpt, I'm reading what she

433
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: wanted in terms of assignments is what she didn't want.

434
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: Because you know what, just like everyone's afraid to say

435
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 2: Joe is senile, everybody is afraid to say, Kamala, you

436
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: don't have it. Whatever it is you need to be president,

437
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: you don't have it. You're not gonna get elected by yourself,

438
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: and you're gonna and you're gonna make people not vote

439
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 2: for Joe because they don't think Joe is gonna be

440
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: alive at the end of the second term.

441
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: So but because nobody discusses this.

442
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: Out loud, we're trapped doing this this well, this theater

443
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: every day.

444
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: It's weird. We got more coming up. Johnny Ken k

445
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: IF I AM six forty live everywhere I heard radio app.

446
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

447
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

448
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: Well, if you think things are tough in this country,

449
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: we go once again for the harsh justice of Saudi Arabia,

450
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: which is sentenced de Man to death based on his

451
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: Twitter and YouTube activity. That would be pretty harsh. They're

452
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: kind of considering him a terrorist because they believe that

453
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: he is threatening. Of course, the royal family in that country.

454
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: His name is Mohammad l Or al Gomdhi, fifty four

455
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: year old retired teacher and apparently he has been posting

456
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter now known as x and YouTube about the

457
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: injustices of people that have been imprisoned in that country,

458
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: and they just consider that to be Yeah.

459
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he was threatening. He was questioning the government.

460
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: He was questioning the government right.

461
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: According to a Saudi Arabian researcher, repression in Saudi Arabia

462
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: has reached a terrifying new stage when a court can

463
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: hand down the death sentence for nothing more than peaceful tweets.

464
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 1: Apparently they've taken him to a prison and he's been

465
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: held in solitary confinement for months. His family was unable

466
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: to contact him during this period. He didn't have access

467
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,320
