Of 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, all you have to do is entered on 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: the website KFI amzixty dot com. We're bringing the La 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: County Sheriff, Alex Vietueva back on the show for a 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: couple of reasons, most of which is the fact that 24 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: and this is not made up. The city of West 25 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Hollywood recently voted to replace a portion of its police patrol, 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: the LA County Sheriff's deputies, with what they call security ambassadors. 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: These are people to walk around I don't know, in 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: shirts and vests who knows, and that you have a 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: walkie talkie or something to report that there's a crime 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: going on. It's bizarre, but anyway, it's like their way 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: of saying, we're defunding the police. You see what we're doing. Yeah. 32 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: It's called the block by Block program, and we're not 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: making this up. But the guy who was put in 34 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: charge of it, the operations manager, is his title. Shay Gibson, 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: once charged with murder and armed robbery and eventually convicted 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: of voluntary manslaughter. He killed the guy. He killed the guy, 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: and the mayor, Lindsay Horvath at the time, actually had 38 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: him appointed to be the operations manager of the block 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: by block program. He did serve eight years in prison 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: in Georgia on the manslaughter charge. It's hard to believe that. 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: By the way, Lindsay Horvath is now running for supervisor 42 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: the Board of Supervisors, replacing Sheila cull in a district 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: that includes the west side of La So running against 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: no bail Bob Hertzberg, who's another blowhard buffoon. And this 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: report comes from Weehoville and they got an email and 46 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: it shows that the board certainly knew his record before 47 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: voting to appoint him in charge of this program. Well, 48 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: let's buyer knowledge of his previous criminal record. Let's get 49 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: Sheriff Vieneueva on the line. Are you guys doing We're good? 50 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: How are you doing well? Every day is a new surprise? 51 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: Did you just find out about this? I just found 52 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: about this late last week and I thought, wait a minute, 53 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: how come this wasn't part of the public discussion when 54 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: this matter was being debated with the City councild. The 55 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: committee was sure would have liked to have known this 56 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: information before they tended to vote. So how did this work? 57 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: Your sheriff's deputies were providing police coverage for West Hollywood 58 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: and then they had a vote to have the ambassadors 59 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: replace your deputies to some extent. To describe the details, well, 60 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: the West Hollywood has a contract for sixty nine sworn 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: off deputies, sixty nine, but because of the hiring freeze 62 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: imposed by the county, that number had dropped to fifty six, 63 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: so thirteen were already missing. And then the City of 64 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: West Hollywood and an infinite wizard decided, well that's still 65 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: two months, let's drop it down to fifty two and 66 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: we'll replace them with these block by blockassadors who apparently 67 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: now are run by this man who's a convicted murderer. Yeah, 68 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: so this is quite interesting tern of events here. I mean, 69 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: if they wanted to hire him, this just seems like 70 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: the worst possible job. Well, I want to be in 71 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: charge of people are supposed to be looking out for crime. 72 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: So his background was not debated at the city council 73 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: meeting when they decided to replace some of the sheriff's 74 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: deputies with these ambassadors. Not at all. And apparently, according 75 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: to the internal emails and letters, they known about this 76 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: since September of twenty one, so this is not new 77 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: to the people pushing for the ambassador program, so they 78 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: knew it and they covered it up. I mean because 79 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if you do a simple background check, you're 80 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna find you're gonna find out pretty quickly that he 81 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: killed a guy. Yes, so why would we allow someone 82 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean deputies, I have none that's with that background. 83 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: Obviously we could not be a sworn peace officer in 84 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: the state of California. Yet somehow this is an acceptable 85 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: substitute for the city was Hollywood, And so what do 86 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: these block by block ambassadors do? Do they show up 87 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: when there's trouble or I don't I don't understand what 88 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: these what the role for these people are? Well, they 89 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: can't take any police action. All they can do is 90 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: report something is happening. And I guess the theory of 91 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: the West Hollywood crowd thinks that, well they're they're visible. 92 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: So since they're visible, people who feel more comfortable. But 93 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: I think people feel comfortable when they see uh, sworn 94 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: peace officers doing their job. Was this coming from the public? 95 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: Do you know? Is there some kind of revolt against 96 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: having sheriff's deputies around or is this just these idiot 97 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: woke council people with the new wacky idea of the week. 98 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: This was Lindsay Horvat's a point to the Public Safety 99 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: Advisory Council, and that was the daughter of the La 100 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: Times who does not like hops at all. Like he 101 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: decided that everybody the daughter this was, this was her idea. 102 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: Apparently she's been pushing this idea and he got a 103 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: crop of like minded individuals who are not living in 104 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: West Hollywood to bumm rush the consul and flood the 105 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: public comments. But the residents and the business owners were 106 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: very upset about this because they want to keep the 107 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: programs the deputies. Well, who who did the original recommendation 108 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: that this is the guy who ought to be hired 109 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: Shay Gibson, Like Jay Gibson is the best candidate here? 110 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: Was it the Sucian daughter? Was it Lindsay Horvath? Somebody else? 111 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: Like I do you know like where this came from? 112 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: I think it. I think it came from the committee 113 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: and then it was pushed up to the city council 114 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: to vote on This is one of their genius is 115 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: so they ran with it. So a convicted killer is 116 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: less dangerous than having sheriff's deputies patrolling the streets. Apparently 117 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: in their world. Yes, she says here that according to 118 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: is LinkedIn. This guy's actually been with the Block by 119 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: Block program since twenty thirteen, this Gibson guy. So this 120 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: is more of less a promotion to become the head 121 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: of the program, I suppose operations manager. Now, who are 122 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: these ambassadors? Where do they get them from? Do you know? 123 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: Well that you know, I'd say good luck with that, 124 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: because they're you know, they're going to be paid a 125 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: pittance in terms of a salary. They probably won't be 126 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: able to afford to even live in with Hollywood, and yeah, 127 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: it's going to be a mystery where they come from. This. 128 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Look at Santa Monica and their ambassador programs that work 129 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: really well for the Pandemonica and the problem Okay, right, yeah, yeah, 130 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: I know, it's it's free of all problems. No, yeah, 131 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: it's no, it's it's it's a hell hole. Now, now 132 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: that this ambassador thing is just classic progressive garbage. It's 133 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: some pretty little trendy woke term that and it's always 134 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: used to defund police and people go, oh, that sounds nice. 135 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna have ambassadors walking around peacefully trying to persuade 136 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: people to behave On another note, Sheriff tomorrow, I guess 137 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: you're on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors. They're 138 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: going to discuss that motion to allow them to remove 139 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: you from office. Apparently having an election or a recall election, 140 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: or a civil grand jury or the attorney general wasn't 141 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: good enough for the board, so they want to have 142 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: a fifth option so they can trump the will of 143 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: voters of them. Are you going to attend in some 144 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: manner and challenge them on this or just to let 145 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: this craziness continue. We wrote a letter that was delivered 146 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: about an hour ago to the board expressing our opposition 147 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: to this airbrain scheme. And they're always have a solution 148 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: in search of a problem, and this is one. All right, Sheriff, Well, 149 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: thank you for coming on with us. You got it 150 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: all right, Sheriff Alex be in Aueva. And again, if 151 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: you haven't heard you, people live in West Hollywood. Rather 152 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: than have the full compliment of sheriff's deputies, the idiot 153 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: mayor that they had, Lindsey Horvath hired Shay Gibson to 154 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: run the block by block program, which is one of 155 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: thost stupid ambassador ideas. Instead of having police show up, 156 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: you have an ambassador to talk sweetly he not only 157 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: killed a guy, he was also convicted of armed robbery 158 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: and he spent eight years in prison in Georgia. And 159 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: that guy is now the operations manager of Block by Block. 160 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: He's like the head and ba mastador here. Huh murder 161 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: and armed robbery? Wow? Oh this is interesting too. Apparently 162 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: Wehville reported in March that there's a lawsuit against Block 163 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: by Block. A number of employees claimed they were not 164 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: paid the proper overtime wages, deprived of rest and meal periods, 165 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: and got inaccurate wage statements. So the actual Block by 166 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: Block workers are suing already over you know, the thing is, 167 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: like I said, Lindaograth's running for Los Angeles County supervisor. 168 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: She's a complete fool, A complete and utter fool who 169 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: hires a convicted killer?

And there's a lot of mentally ill 228 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: people on these streets right now.

Women's volleyball team. She's 236 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: also done a lot of modeling in her career. Once 237 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: appearing into Sports Illustrated, it's a swimsuit issue, Les Luves 238 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: sent it back to you again. She's going to be 239 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: all right, very thankful that it was not worse. She 240 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: said that she has been overwhelmed by all of the 241 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: loving supported messages that she has received. You know, this 242 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: reminds me of the mass shootings because it becomes let's 243 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: just to give out all of our sympathy and love 244 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: to the person. And you know, no, I feel bad 245 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: for her, but she says, I gotta keep your head 246 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: in a swivel. We should not have to live like that. 247 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: That's why you have so many mentally ill people, and 248 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: some of them were Violet. We keep up in the 249 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: chances this is happening. They arrested fifty one year old 250 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: fifty one year old Simeon test Phamarium And by the way, 251 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: the story that appeared today at ESPN does not mention 252 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: he's a vagrants. Most reports they are. Now some news 253 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: organizations are cutting that description out from their reports. They 254 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: believe it demonizes the home right, and it should it 255 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: should be there too, demonize the homeless. So because if 256 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: we see every day that these assaults are from homeless people, 257 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: then hopefully people will vote differently and demand different laws 258 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: and the enforcement of current laws. So this is information 259 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: we need to have. But all these woke a holes 260 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: that run the media outlets are erasing all the personal 261 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: information to describe the suspect accurately. They just described it 262 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: an ESPN that, oh, she left a lunch and just 263 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: she saw some man out of the corner of her 264 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: eye running up with an object in his hand, and 265 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: then he looked with me to the hateful eyes and 266 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: he hit me right. It was it's it. They restrained 267 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: the man, they identified him, and they didn't say, Yeah, 268 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: was he a local accountant. Perhaps she was having a 269 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: bad day decided to slug somebody with a metal rod. 270 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: Maybe he makes cookies for a living. Yeah, because that's 271 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: what mentally balanced people do, who have jobs and families 272 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: and are normal, They run around with metal rods whacking 273 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: people in the face. Yeah. I mean she said in 274 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: the video that you heard part of there, that there's 275 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now. 276 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: That's about as far as you know. The opinion goes 277 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: do something, get them removed. It's hard to believe what's 278 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: going on in the streets and people are getting viciously attacked. Well, 279 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we did stories in the last few years 280 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: when a guy that got pushed in front of a bush. 281 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: It is a good moment to remind people we did 282 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: this story earlier in the show, and you may want 283 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: to search through the podcast later and look for it. 284 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: It was in The Times today that back in two 285 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: thousand and four we passed a mental health tax. We 286 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: taxed millionaires Prop sixty three. Everybody said, yeah, f the 287 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: rich people. Tax the millionaires extra one percent, and they've 288 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: raised twenty nine billion dollars and there are far more 289 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: mentally old people on the streets than when we passed 290 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: the tax. And one of the co authors said, oh, 291 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: in five years, we'll have all the mentally old people 292 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: taken care of in the state. But then he died 293 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: and he left behind this huge mess, and everybody was wrong, 294 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: stupid la Times writers who promoted it at the time, 295 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: Darrel Steinberg, mayor of the Sacramento Now he promoted it politically. 296 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: At the time. This was supposed to be the cure 297 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: to all the public mental illness. We gave him the 298 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine billion dollars. We bent over the rich 299 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: people and spanked him, took their money. And what do 300 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: we got now? We got a huge mental health industrial 301 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: complex where everybody working in the industry is making big salaries, 302 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: but very few people are getting helped. I also read 303 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: in Atlantic magazine there was a book review about psychiatry 304 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: over the last twenty years about how successful treating mental 305 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: unless has been. And the book is called Desperate Remedies. 306 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: And I'm just reading a review of the book and 307 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: the headline is, can you cure mental illness? Two centuries 308 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: of trying? Says no, that this researcher looked at two 309 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: hundred years of trying to cure the mentally ill and 310 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: so far nothing. So beware all the programs, all the claims, 311 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: all the experts, you know, all the new taxes and 312 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: the government programs. You have to forcibly lock people up 313 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: and keep force them off the streets. They don't have 314 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: any cures, they don't have anything to help these people. 315 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's going to take before 316 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: enough people realize that you do have to have enforcement. 317 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: You're all going to have to change conservatorship laws. In 318 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: other words, to clean up this problem. You can't just say, well, 319 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: you know, they have rights, so they can live on 320 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: the streets and chase after people with mental rods. No, 321 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: let's we got to go back to the old way. 322 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: They have no rights. You have no right to do this. 323 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: You have no right to whack somebody in the face 324 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: with the metal rod. You are going into a mental 325 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: institution and you're being locked up by see. You know what, 326 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to see the prosecution of this guy 327 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: because it's La County George Gascone's case. It will be eventually. Yeah, 328 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: he'll be back on the streets in like a week. Yeah, 329 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: he will already out on bail. What do you think, 330 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: maybe baby, thanks to no bail, Bob Hurtsburg pretty much 331 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: have no bail. All right, We got more coming up, 332 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: Johnny ken Cafine. Bye, it's just a quick update. The 333 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: La County Registrar did put out a report over the 334 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: weekend or maybe late Friday that the number of signatures 335 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: that were turned in by the Recall George Gascone organization 336 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 1: was exactly seven hundred and fifteen thousand, eight hundred and 337 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: thirty three. The organizers put on a press release last 338 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: week that they turned in seven hundred and seventeen thousand 339 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: they were so it looks like we're already starting short 340 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: of some signatures in the effort to recall George Gascon. 341 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: Remember that they need about five hundred and sixty eight 342 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: thousand to be considered valid, which if you do the 343 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: math that gives them if that's the actual number that 344 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: the registrar is going with, seven fifteen eight thirty three, 345 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: they got almost exactly at twenty percent failure rate margin here, 346 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: which is decent. Hopefully it'll cut it. So we'll find 347 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: out about a month or so the results of the 348 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: registrar going through the signatures to see They are going 349 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: to use a sampling method, which the recall people didn't like. 350 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: But I think I had seen with that that if 351 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: it fails, they actually will go through all the signatures, 352 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: that maybe it only works for the good in other words, 353 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: that the sampling method works, that could be good enough 354 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: to sign off on the recall, but if it fails, 355 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: they go through all the signatures. I think that's what 356 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: I saw, So yeah, I think that's the way it works. 357 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,239 Speaker 1: So I just want them to be watched they're not 358 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: to be trusted. Probably not. The El Segundo Times did 359 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: a story on something we talked about a couple of 360 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: weekends ago, weeks ago. In fact, John, you weren't here 361 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: when I threw Paul Correttz into the dumpster. And that 362 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: was quite a lift for the mob. That chin bag alone. 363 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: Oh my god, there must have been a lot of 364 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: Mike Hernias. And there was a well brought in like 365 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: a hundred mob members drained grinds, and but ten of 366 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: them had to lift the chin alone. He's despicable, that guy. 367 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: He's really despicable. He's the LA City councilm and he's 368 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: actually leaving, but before he goes, he wants the city 369 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles to become the largest in America to 370 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: ban new gas stations. That's what his idea is. It 371 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: is It is impossibly stupid. It's also virtue signaling because 372 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: they only opened like one or two or three gas 373 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: stations in LA every year. Yeah, but as as gas 374 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: stations will close in the future, well then they're gonna 375 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: have to happen. There'll be no replaced. They're gonna have 376 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: to reverse it. Because electric cars are not practical at 377 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: the moment. So all this stuff, what are you gonna 378 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: end up? Gas is going to be more expensive, You're 379 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: gonna get longer lines, They're gonna keep trying to force 380 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: people out of their cars. You're gonna have rioting in 381 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: the streets. Eventually there is a breaking point. It's a 382 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: dumb you said that about the home. I don't see 383 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: rioting in the streets. People here are lemmings. They don't 384 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: do anything. You don't think they're putting any point where 385 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: they'll say it. There should be riding in the streets 386 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: over these gas prices is six seven dollars nothing, lemmings. 387 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: People are just so trained to take it. Yeah. Remember 388 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: France when the when the I think gas prices went up, 389 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: that's when they started having riots. I think the president 390 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: and implemented some kind of gas tacks. There was a 391 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: yellow vesta revolt that they had to do it. I 392 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: think he did. He did, he did undo it because 393 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: it was not too long after we had Newsome's stupid 394 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: gas tax. So you know, if there was a little 395 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: a little demonstration in the streets, sometimes that has an effect. 396 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: But but I mean as a policy, it's it's ridiculously stupid. 397 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: Because the electric cars are way way too expensive for 398 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: most people. Uh. And in fact, I saw a tweet 399 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: the other day by a black congressman who was a Democrat, 400 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: who is criticizing Biden. Biden had done some preachy thing 401 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: on electric cars, and he goes, there's nobody in my 402 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: district that can afford an electric car. But the hell 403 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Not only that we don't have that, 404 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: they can't manufacture these things very quickly. Even Elon Musk 405 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: says his factories are have a long way to go 406 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: before they could produce cars at a much greater volume. 407 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: You don't have the minerals. There's there's a huge shortage 408 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: of lithium, which you have to have for the batteries, 409 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: not to mention all these other rare earth materials, which 410 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: which which China has like at eighty percent of the 411 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: market right now. It's it's it's way too expensive. The 412 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: range stinks. Everybody always says about Tesla. Tesla is the 413 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: only one that works, right, the only one that's practical. 414 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: All the other ones aren't practical, and Tesla costs a fortune. 415 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: I saw another story today where that's the biggest obstacle 416 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: for people in buying electric is that they don't like 417 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: the charging thing. There's no charging stations right, and it 418 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: takes too long, and it takes too long supercharger which 419 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: can reduce it to like thirty or forty minutes. Okay, 420 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: no charging station takes too long. We don't have the 421 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: electrical grid to support this, We don't have the factories 422 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: that can make it. We don't have the minerals available 423 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: to create the batteries. It's way too expensive. That's six 424 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: deal breaking reasons right from the start. There any one 425 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: of those six. They think in thirteen years that will 426 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: all be solved. No, Well, it doesn't matter what they think. 427 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: There's always people running around and lying. I mean, there's 428 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: no bigger hype machine than the tech hype machine, right, 429 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: which is how you get stocks going through the stratosphere 430 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: and then collapsing. That's happened twice in front of our 431 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: eyes in twenty years, these huge tech bubbles and then 432 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: everything goes poof and people lose, you know, forty percent 433 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: of their nest egg. It is. It's just as great 434 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: as a lot of technology is. It's a tremendous amount 435 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: of hype and a tremendous amount of scam that goes on, 436 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: and well, the electric car thing is so much ridiculous hype. 437 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: If you live in the west the west side, the 438 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 1: west side, Silver Lake, Los Felis, Echo Park in Northwestwood, 439 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: they all submitted their neighborhood councils support for the motion 440 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: to eliminate the new gas stations. Well, when they run 441 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: out of gas, I don't want to see coning this 442 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: course of course they are, because you know, these people 443 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: are idiots, just absolutely idiots. And then what's going to happen. 444 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: Let's say this really goes into effect, and then there's 445 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: no replacements. Right, you are not going to get electric 446 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: car charging stations replacing it anytime soon. You're not going 447 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: to get millions of electric cars being being manufactured anytime soon. 448 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: You are not going to find new sources of lithium 449 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: anytime soon, all right, and good luck wrestling the rare 450 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: earth minerals from the Chinese. So when this happens and 451 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: you have no gas stations in your neighborhood, you're gonna 452 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: come in my neighborhood and clog up the lines. Well, 453 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: we'll push your car out of line into the street. 454 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I just can't believe how stupid and trendy people. 455 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: Are everybody virtue sigling? I know, I know, no more 456 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: gas stations in my town. Look at me. I'm environmentally conscious, 457 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: I'm green. What are you a polluter? No, I have 458 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: a car that runs yours stuck on the side of 459 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: the road there, they think. Of course, just like high 460 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: gas prices, this would obviously affect worse the poorer neighborhoods, 461 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: where there's much more or less likely people buying any 462 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: kind of all these freak all these freaking uh progressives. 463 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: None of this stuff works for for the poor, none 464 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: of it. Because you can think about this, right, even 465 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: if they can afford a car, it's going to be 466 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: like a used nineteen ninety something. They can't afford even 467 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: a used electric or hybrid car. That's why out of 468 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: their their budgets. Yeah, I'm just I'm going to drive 469 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: old cars until I drop dead. I'm not dealing with 470 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: this nonsense. You're not gone. I got I know a 471 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: guy he just told me he got a car like 472 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: he bought it from his from a friend of his. Right, Uh, 473 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: he bought it to resell it to someone, and so 474 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: he had it for a time. And he says it 475 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: gets it gets like fifty three miles to the charge 476 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: fifty three yeah, to the to the full charge. He says, 477 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: it only goes fifty three miles and then he's got 478 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: to charge it up again. Is it a hybrid or 479 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: an ev It's a hybrid. Oh, I see, So it's 480 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: a fifty three mile charge. And then he's got a 481 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: and he has gas in it too, has gas in 482 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: it too. Yeah, but hybrid only takes over when you're like, oh, 483 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: he gets good bilage off the gas and it switches 484 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: over to hybrid power. He gets good bilage out of it. 485 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying the range isn't there for these 486 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: things because the only one that people talk about is Tesla, 487 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: and it's by far the most expensive, by the by 488 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: far out of reach for most people in America. People 489 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: can't spend a year's salary on a car. And you 490 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: know what, it's not even discussed. There's a great story 491 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. I think we've printed it 492 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: out a few days ago. I just never got a 493 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: rant to it.

You know, for a family, for a family, 507 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: for a family, the median salary means everybody working in 508 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: the house in the low seventies.

The governor of Virginia is to tell 515 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: all the workers you got to come in and work 516 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: like at least three days a week, and three hundred 517 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: workers said no, and they all quit. I don't know, 518 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: because with everybody else quitting jobs, they can find something. Right, 519 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: there's a need I think a Marktorium and all the 520 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: welfare programs and then we'll see what that does to 521 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: the I'm talking about this with somebody else today and said, well, 522 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: I think some younger people are trying to make money 523 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: off of social media selling themselves TikTok videos, and yeah, 524 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: maybe that works. It's a great career to have, right. 525 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a long term plan, but 526 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: it works for now for I don't know when when 527 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: you're forty five, I don't know if anybody's gonna want 528 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: you doing a dance on TikTok, but go ahead try. 529 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: We got more coming up, John and can k fine. 530 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: Today was quite the day for Joe Biden appearances.

I'd figure out the year that happened. Well, 538 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: here we go. Fourtod Texas, two thousand and nine, thirteen dead, 539 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 1: thirty more injured.

He did say that the Parkland shooting 544 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: was nineteen eighteen when Joe was a young boy, probably 545 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: something that happened in childhood that he never forgot. Nineteen eighteen. 546 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: He rings us off the teleprompter that went nineteen in 547 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: the twenty That looked quite different on the screen. It's 548 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: not like it was nineteen sixteen verse eventeen. Well, who 549 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: knows what he can see? I mean, he also today appeared. 550 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: We were mentioned earlier in the show the web space 551 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: telescope is sent back.

Yeah, yeah, he's he's 555 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: acting again like he's crucified by the press. And oh, 556 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: I see, I say, which we believe he's given a 557 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: pass for ninety percent of what he gaffs and his 558 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: other horrible to blame the press for the high inflation 559 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: all the other things.

He 564 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: just went through a list of describing Biden. He often 565 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: shuffles when he walks. Staff is afraid he's going to 566 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: trip on a wire. His speech most from the Times. Yeah, 567 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: his speeches are quote flat and listless. He stumbles so 568 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: often that staffers hold their breath to see if he 569 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: makes it to the end. He has things like the 570 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: US is gonna respond military militarily of China invades Taiwan, 571 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: or that Putin cannot remain in power. He quote sometimes 572 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: loses his train of thought. He quote has trouble summoning names. 573 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: He appears quote momentarily confused. He calls the Vice president 574 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: President Harris. He confused Iran for Ukraine. He confused Senator 575 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: Mark Warner for John Warner, Who's dead. He tumbles off 576 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: stationary bikes. He stays out of public view at night. 577 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: He's in half as many news conferences as his predecessors. 578 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: He's fallen asleep during global conferences. And it just goes 579 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: on and on. Yeah, you guys are bad. Yeah, you 580 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: still say he's not gonna make it till twenty four No, no, 581 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: early a year and a half in Oh, I know 582 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: that two and a half years. Come on, man, but 583 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: he's only eighty. I mean people live in ninety live. Yes, 584 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's dead, but do you think there's 585 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: going to be an incredible decline? And Morgan says, twenty 586 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: fifth Amendment, you know where the cabinet gets together and vote. 587 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: We heard that with Trump and that didn't happen. But honestly, 588 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: the media loves that one. I know, I know, but 589 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: you know both cases might have been warranted.
